Zinc oxide nanoparticles are nanoparticles of zinc oxide (ZnO) that have diameters less than 100 nanometers. They have a large surface area relative to their size and high catalytic activity . The exact physical and chemical properties of zinc oxide nanoparticles depend on the different ways they are synthesized .
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are structures with at least one dimension on the nanometre scale, composed predominantly of zinc oxide. They may be combined with other composite substances to change the chemistry, structure or function of the nanostructures in order to be used in various technologies.
Nanoparticles can also be chemically modified to control properties like solubility. Chitosan or other polymer coatings have been shown to improve biodegradability and nutrient release, [12] and one study shows Chitosan-coated zinc nanoparticles extend the release of zinc, reducing soil toxicity and preventing its over-accumulation in plants.

The breakthrough material ZIF-8, composed of zinc ions and 2-methylimidazolate linkers, exemplifies the unique properties of ZIFs. ZIF-8 demonstrated exceptional chemical and thermal stability, coupled with a highly selective pore system, making it suitable for demanding applications like carbon dioxide capture and hydrocarbon separation.

Upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are nanoscale particles (diameter 1–100 nm) that exhibit photon upconversion. In photon upconversion, two or more incident photons of relatively low energy are absorbed and converted into one emitted photon with higher energy.
Copper zinc tin sulfide (CZTS) is a quaternary semiconducting compound which has received increasing interest since the late 2000s for applications in thin film solar cells. The class of related materials includes other I 2 -II-IV-VI 4 such as copper zinc tin selenide (CZTSe) and the sulfur-selenium alloy CZTSSe.
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula Zn O.It is a white powder which is insoluble in water. ZnO is used as an additive in numerous materials and products including cosmetics, food supplements, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, [12] paints, sunscreens, ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods, batteries, ferrites, fire retardants, semi conductors ...
A nanoparticle or ultrafine particle is a particle of matter 1 to 100 nanometres (nm) in diameter. [1] [2] The term is sometimes used for larger particles, up to 500 nm, or fibers and tubes that are less than 100 nm in only two directions.
