“…The nervous system lacks self-healing capacities; therefore, any trauma or disease-related damage to the CNS or PNS is permanent [ 239 ]. The frequency of neurological damage increases with age and is becoming a public health issue due to the aging population [ 240 ]. Currently, protocols of neurological damage treatment are based on autologous or allogeneic cell grafts and neurosurgery.…”

In the last few decades, the vast potential of nanomaterials for biomedical and healthcare applications has been extensively investigated. Several case studies demonstrated that nanomaterials can offer solutions to the current challenges of raw materials in the biomedical and healthcare fields. This review describes the different nanoparticles and nanostructured material synthesis approaches and presents some emerging biomedical, healthcare, and agro-food applications. This review focuses on various nanomaterial types (e.g., spherical, nanorods, nanotubes, nanosheets, nanofibers, core-shell, and mesoporous) that can be synthesized from different raw materials and their emerging applications in bioimaging, biosensing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, antimicrobial, and agro-foods. Depending on their morphology (e.g., size, aspect ratio, geometry, porosity), nanomaterials can be used as formulation modifiers, moisturizers, nanofillers, additives, membranes, and films. As toxicological assessment depends on sizes and morphologies, stringent regulation is needed from the testing of efficient nanomaterials dosages. The challenges and perspectives for an industrial breakthrough of nanomaterials are related to the optimization of production and processing conditions.

“…Nevertheless, nanofibers tend to be flexible and have a higher-density structure, while nanorods possess higher rigidity in nature [ 60 ]. While both nanorods and nanowires have a similar morphology, the former has lengths that typically fall in the range of 10–120 nm, while the latter has lengths that are not delimited and are much longer than their diameters [ 61 ]. On the other hand, compared to nanorods, nanotubes have a more complex hollowed structure.…”

Membrane technology has become increasingly popular and important for separation processes in industries, as well as for desalination and wastewater treatment. Over the last decade, the merger of nanotechnology and membrane technology in the development of nanocomposite membranes has emerged as a rapidly expanding research area. The key motivation driving the development of nanocomposite membranes is the pursuit of high-performance liquid separation membranes that can address the bottlenecks of conventionally used polymeric membranes. Nanostructured materials in the form of zero to three-dimensions exhibit unique dimension-dependent morphology and topology that have triggered considerable attention in various fields. While the surface hydrophilicity, antibacterial, and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 are particularly attractive for liquid separation membranes, the geometry-dependent properties of the nanocomposite membrane can be further fine-tuned by selecting the nanostructures with the right dimension. This review aims to provide an overview and comments on the state-of-the-art modifications of liquid separation membrane using TiO2 as a classical example of multidimensional nanomaterials. The performances of TiO2-incorporated nanocomposite membranes are discussed with attention placed on the special features rendered by their structures and dimensions. The innovations and breakthroughs made in the synthesis and modifications of structure-controlled TiO2 and its composites have enabled fascinating and advantageous properties for the development of high-performance nanocomposite membranes for liquid separation.

“…This was correlated to the reduced recombination rate of photogenerated charge carriers and hence an improved photoelectrode performance. [102][103][104][105] The ZnO core (nanorod) is desired to play two important roles, where it provides: 1) an efficient electrical pathway for the flow of collected electron charge carriers to/from ITO contact and 2) a large surface area to facilitate the photochemical reaction. [106] However, the defected surface of nanorods also causes 1) recombination of charge carriers at the surface trap states and 2) additional surface overpotential at the photoanode.…”

Plasmonic Solar Energy Harvesting by ZnO Nanostructures and Their Composite Interfaces: A Review on Fundamentals, Recent Advances, and Applications

et al. 2023

Zinc oxide is one of the inexpensive semiconductors with rich electronic and optical properties. It is studied in energy applications for a long time. The wide bandgap of ZnO either needs structural change or sensitizing via quantum dots, dyes, or metallic nanoparticles (through the plasmonic effect) to absorb visible light for applications in solar energy harvesting devices. This review provides a fundamental insight of plasmonic visible light harvesting by ZnO and an account of recent advances in solar photovoltaic, photoelectrochemical water splitting, and other photoredox activities, such as water quality enhancement and CO2 reduction.
