Electrochemical heavy metal detection, photocatalytic, photoluminescence, biodiesel production and antibacterial activities of Ag–ZnO nanomaterial

TLDR
In this paper, the results reveal that Ag-ZnO Nps shows the better photocatalytic activity compared to undoped ZnO nps, and also developed sensor which showed a linearity in the concentration range 50-350 nM and limit of detection was found to be 3.5 and 3.8 nM (3σ) for lead and cadmium respectively.

ZnO - nanostructures, defects, and devices

TL;DR: ZnO has received much attention over the past few years because it has a wide range of properties that depend on doping, including a range of conductivity from metallic to insulating (including n-type and p-type conductivity), high transparency, piezoelectricity, widebandgap semiconductivity, room-temperature ferromagnetism, and huge magneto-optic and chemical-sensing effects.
