Synthesis and characterization of ZnO structure such as nanowires, nanorods, nanotube, nanowall, etc. have been studied to multifunctional application such as optical, nanoscale electronic and chemical devices because it has a room-temperature wide band gap of 3.37eV, large exiton binding energy(60meV) and various properties. Various synthesis methods including chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition, electrochemical deposition, micro-emulsion, and hydrothermal approach have been reported to fabricate various kinds of ZnO nanostructures. But some of these synthesis methods are expensive and difficult of mass production. Wet chemical method has several advantage such as simple process, mass production, low temperature process, and low cost. In the present work, ZnO nanorods are deposited on ITO/glass substrate by simple wet chemical method. The process is perfomed by two steps. One-step is deposition of ZnO seeds and two-step is growth of ZnO nanorods on substrates. In order to form ZnO seeds on substrates, mixture solution of Zn acetate and Methanol was prepared.(one-step) Seed layers were deposited for control of morpholgy of ZnO seed layers by spin coating process because ZnO seeds is deposited uniformly by centrifugal force of spin coating. The seed-deposited samples were pre-annealed for 30min at $180^{\circ}C$ to enhance adhesion and crystallinnity of ZnO seed layer on substrate. Vertically well-aligned ZnO nanorods were grown by the "dipping-and-holding" process of the substrates into the mixture solution consisting of the mixture solution of DI water, Zinc nitrate and hexamethylenetetramine for 4 hours at $90^{\circ}C$.(two-step) It was found that density and morphology of ZnO nanorods were controlled by manipulation of ZnO seeds through rpm of spin coating. The morphology, crystallinity, optical properties of the grown ZnO nanostructures were carried out by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution electron microscopy, photoluminescence, respectively. We are convinced that this method is complementing problems of main techniques of existing reports.

본 연구에서는 CuO와 ZnO의 입자 크기가 옥수수의 성장과 토양 미생물 군집에 미치는 독성을 microcosm 실험을 통하여 살펴보았다. 나노 입자는 micro 입자에 비해 옥수수의 biomass를 약 30% 감소시켜 나노 입자가 옥수수의 성장을 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 토양 미생물 활성 지표인 Dehydrogenase activity는 CuO 나노 입자에서는 낮게 나타났으나 ZnO 나노 입자에서는 높게 나타났다. Biolog test 결과, CuO 나노 입자와 ZnO micro 입자에서 토양 미생물 다양성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, metal oxide의 나노 입자가 micro 입자보다 항상 토양 미생물의 활성 및 다양성에 더 유해한 영향을 나타내는 것은 아니라고 판단된다.

This study disclosed the aqueous fruits extract of Rubus coreanus as a sustainable agent for the synthesis of Rubus coreanus zinc oxide nanoparticle (Rc-ZnO Nps) using as a reducing and capping precursor for co-precipitation method. The development of Rc-ZnO was assured by white precipitated powder and analyzed by spectroscopic and analytical instruments. The UV-visible (UV-Vis) studies indicate the maximum absorbance at 357nm which confirmed the formation of ZnO Nps and the purity, functional group and monodispersity were assured by field emission transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) data revealed the Nps is 23.16 nm in size, crystalline in nature and possess hexagonal wurtzite structure. The Rc-ZnO Nps were subjected for catalytic studies. The Malachite Green dye was degraded by Rc- ZnO NPs in both dark and light (100 W tungsten) conditions and it degraded about 90% at 4 hours observation in both cases. The biodegradable, low cost Rc-ZnO NPs can be a better weapon for waste water treatment.

나노물질은 다양한 분야에 널리 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Lactuca(상추)와 Raphanus(알타리무) 씨앗의 발아와 발아지수에 금속산화물 나노입자(CuO, NiO, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$, $TiO_2$, ZnO)가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 용액상 노출에서 CuO가 가장 큰 영향을 나타내었으며, 발아와 발아지수의 $EC_{50}$는 각 0.46 mg/L와 0.37%로 조사되었다. 씨앗 이용 식물독성 측정에서 상추가 알타리무보다 나노입자 노출에 대해 더욱 민감한 반응을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 나노입자의 씨앗발아와 발아지수에 근거한 영향은 다음의 순서로 조사되었다: CuO > ZnO >NiO > $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, $Co_3O_4$. 특히 $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$와 $Co_3O_4$는 최대 노출 농도 1,000 mg/L 농도에서도 뚜렷한 영향을 나타내지 않았다.

Superparamagnetic Zinc ferrite submicropheres are firstly synthesized via a one-pot solvothermal approach at $200-215^{\circ}C$ for 4-8 hours. $ZnCl_2$, $FeCl_3$ and NaAc are used as precursors with ethylene glycol solvent. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) data indicate that $ZnFe_2O_4$ nanoparticles with the grain size around $15{\pm}3nm$ can be successfully synthesized via the one-pot method. The scanning/transmission electronic microscope (SEM/TEM) images further show the samples are submicrospheres self-assembled by nanoparticles with size about 375-500 nm changed with reaction conditions. Room-temperature vibration magnetic strength measurements (VMS) demonstrates the as-obtained $ZnFe_2O_4$ submicrospheres show prefect superparamagnetism, whose coercivity force and remanence are practically nil. The reaction temperature and time influence on the crystallinity, diameter, saturated magnetic intensity and morphology of the particles.

The optoelectrical characteristics of the ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) annealed in vacuum or oxygen condition from $200^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$ were examined. Increased on-off ratio (or, the ratio of photocurrent to dark current) was observed when they were annealed at $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ with the values enhanced about 4 orders compared to the as-prepared ZnO NPs in both annealing conditions, while the maximum efficiency was shown at the annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ for the ZnO NPs annealed in vacuum with the value of 29.8 mA/W and at the temperature of $500^{\circ}C$ for those annealed in oxygen condition with the value of 40.3 mA/W. Photoresponse behavior of the ZnO NPs annealed in oxygen showed the sharp increase right after the ir exposure to the light followed by the slow decay and saturation during steady illumination, differing from the ZnO NPs annealed in vacuum which only exhibited the gradual increase. This difference occurred due to the curing effect of the oxygen vacancies. SEM images indicated no change in their morphologies with annealing, indicating the change in their internal structures by annealing, and most remarkably at $600^{\circ}C$. As for their photoluminescence(PL) spectra, the decrease of the deep-level(DL) emission was observed when they were annealed in oxygen at $400^{\circ}C$, and not at $200^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 방사성동위원소 추적자 실험을 통해서 산화아연 또는 두 종류의 은나노물질로 오염시킨 토양에서 지렁이(Eisenia fetida)의 금속축적과 제거율을 비교하였고, 이들을 이온상의 Ag와 Zn으로 처리한 대조구와 비교하였다. 추가적으로 토양의 금속을 다단계추출법(sequential extraction method)을 이용하여 금속의 결합 형태로부터 생물이용도(bioavailability)를 예측하고 실제 생물축적(BAF, bioaccumulation factor)과 비교하였다. ZnO 처리구의 BAF (0.06)는 아연이온 처리구 BAF (1.86)보다 31배 낮았는데, 이는 토양에서 ZnO의 생물전이가 매우 낮음을 제시해 준다. 한편, 은의 BAF는 금속의 오염 형태에에 무관하게 0.11~0.17의 범위를 보였다. 다단계추출법을 통해서 아연이온 처리구의 아연은 토양에 비교적 약한 결합을 하는 형태(mobile fraction)에 35% 분포하여 아연이온처리구 값(<20%)보다 높았고, 이는 전자의 더 높은 BAF와 일치한다. 하지만, ZnO 처리구의 다단계추출은 생물이용도나 BAF를 잘 예측하지 못했으며 이는 ZnO가 토양에서 아연이온과 지화학적으로 다른 거동을 하기 때문으로 추정된다. 지렁이 체내에 축적된 은의 제거율(3.2~3.8% d^-1)은 아연의 제거율(1.2~1.7% d^-1)보다 2~3배 더 높았다.

Core 물질인 $ZnFe_2O_4$의 포화자화 값은 33.084 emu/g으로 확인하였다. $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$층의 형성의 결과, 두께 증가로 인한 자성은 각각 33, 40% 감소하였으나 재수득이 가능한 충분한 자성을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 합성된 물질의 광 촉매 효율은 methylene blue (MB)를 사용하여 측정하였다. Core 물질의 효율은 4.2%로 확인하였고 $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$ shell 형성의 결과 각각 73%와 96%로 증가하였고 높은 광 촉매 효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 항균 특성은 대장균(E. Coli)과 황색포도상구균(S. Aureus)을 사용하여 억제 영역을 확인하였다. Shell이 형성되면서 더 넓은 억제 영역이 형성되었고 이는 광 촉매 효율을 측정한 결과와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

Several studies have demonstrated that nanoparticles (NPs) have toxic effects on cultured cell lines, yet there are no clear data describing the overall molecular changes induced by NPs currently in use for human applications. In this study, the in vitro cytotoxicity of three oxide NPs of around 100 nm size, namely, mesoporous silica (MCM-41), iron oxide ($Fe_2O_3$-NPs), and zinc oxide (ZnO-NPs), was evaluated in the human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293. Cell viability assays demonstrated that 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ MCM-41, 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ $Fe_2O_3$, and 12.5 ${\mu}g/mL$ ZnO exhibited 20% reductions in HEK293 cell viability in 24 hrs. DNA microarray analysis was performed on cells treated with these oxide NPs and further validated by real time PCR to understand cytotoxic changes occurring at the molecular level. Microarray analysis of NP-treated cells identified a number of up- and down-regulated genes that were found to be associated with inflammation, stress, and the cell death and defense response. At both the cellular and molecular levels, the toxicity was observed in the following order: ZnO-NPs > $Fe_2O_3$-NPs > MCM-41. In conclusion, our study provides important information regarding the toxicity of these three commonly used oxide NPs, which should be useful in future biomedical applications of these nanoparticles.
