In this work, a methodology of synthesis was designed to obtain ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) in a controlled and reproducible manner. The nanoparticles obtained were characterized using infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Also, we determined the antifungal capacity in vitro of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized, examining their action on Erythricium salmonicolor fungy causal of pink disease. To determine the effect of the quantity of zinc precursor used during ZnO NPs synthesis on the antifungal capacity, 0.1 and 0.15 M concentrations of zinc acetate were examined. To study the inactivation of the mycelial growth of the fungus, different concentrations of ZnO NPs of the two types of synthesized samples were used. The inhibitory effect on the growth of the fungus was determined by measuring the growth area as a function of time. The morphological change was observed with high-resolution optical microscopy (HROM), while TEM was used to observe changes in its ultrastructure. The results showed that a concentration of 9 mmol L -1 for the sample obtained from the 0.15 M and at 12 mmol L -1 for the 0.1 M system significantly inhibited growth of E. salmonicolor. In the HROM images a deformation was observed in the growth pattern: notable thinning of the fibers of the hyphae and a clumping tendency. The TEM images showed a liquefaction of the cytoplasmic content, making it less electron-dense, with the presence of a number of vacuoles and significant detachment of the cell wall.

“…Among the metal oxide NPs, zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs are of special interest due to wide band gap, non‐toxicity, suitability for doping and their wide range of applications in electronic devices, luminescent materials, sensors, fuel cells, anti‐bacterial action and photocatalysts . A large number of methods are employed to synthesize ZnO NPs at various temperatures and reaction times, which include spray pyrolysis, sonochemical, hydrothermal/solvothermal, sol‐gel, combustion, laser ablation, pulsed laser deposition, ball milling, co‐precipitation and microwave assisted method . In many of them, the main aim is to reduce the cost of synthesis.…”

“…In many of them, the main aim is to reduce the cost of synthesis. It is noteworthy that long reaction time and high reaction temperature‐process are the crucial characteristics of the reported approaches . Therefore it is very important to find a simple, rapid, low temperature method for the synthesis of ZnO NPs.…”

Rapid, controllable, one‐pot and room‐temperature aqueous synthesis of ZnO:Cu nanoparticles by pulsed UV laser and its application for photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange

Zinc oxide (ZnO) and ZnO:Cu nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a rapid, controllable, one-pot and room-temperature pulsed UV-laser assisted method. UV-laser irradiation was used as an effective energy source in order to gain better control over the NPs size and morphology in aqueous media. Parameters effective in laser assisted synthesis of NPs such as irradiation time and laser shot repetition rate were optimized. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO NPs showed a broad emission with two trap state peaks located at 442 and 485 nm related to electronic transition from zinc interstitial level (I ) to zinc vacancy level (V ) and electronic transition from conduction band to the oxygen vacancy level (V ), respectively. For ZnO:Cu NPs, trap state emissions disappeared completely and a copper (Cu)-related emission appeared. PL intensity of Cu-related emission increased with the increase in concentration of Cu , so that for molar ratio of Cu:Zn 2%, optimal value of PL intensity was obtained. The photocatalytic activity of Cu-doped ZnO revealed 50 and 100% increasement than that of undoped NPs under UV and visible irradiation, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to smaller crystal size, as well as creation of impurity acceptor levels (T ) inside the ZnO energy band gap.
