Opis

This book is dedicated to the synthesis and characterization of one-dimensional zinc oxide nanostructures (1DZnO) through precision-driven pressure-modulated metal-assisted vapor transport. Thus, presenting compelling results for the controlled growth of high-crystalline 1DZnO nanostructures, enabling the fine-tuning of their optoelectronic and morphological properties. Furthermore, we investigate pivotal applications for these tailored 1DZnO nanostructures: photocatalytic hydrogen production and carbon dioxide sensing, with a view to advancing the green transition agenda. Additionally, the results address the critical challenge of detecting high impact pathogens, highlighting the development of an effective antibody attachment procedure to construct an E. coli optical biosensing layer on 1DZnO materials. This comprehensive work serves researchers, scientists, and engineers specializing in materials science, nanotechnology, and environmental and biosensing technologies, with the aim of addressing the complexities of controlled nanomaterial synthesis and their practical applications in environmental and healthcare contexts.
