My Research
From Theory to Reality
My research aims to evaluate the use of ZnO nanoparticles as solar photocatalysts and the application of ZnO nanostructures and its nanocomposites for wastewater treatment, as an antimicrobial agent and as an anticancer agent. It also aims to study the solar-photodegradation mechanisms of zinc oxide photocatalysis, methods for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles and its nanocomposites,  as well as future challenges and prospects of using ZnO nanoparticles in these processes.
ZnO as a promising photocatalyst for wastewater treatment
Zinc oxide has been widely studied for photocatalytic environmental remediation especially wastewater decontamination, due to its high photosensitivity, non-toxic nature, low cost, and environmental friendliness.
ZnO as a promising anticancer agent
Nanotechnology has provided significant breakthroughs in medicine and cancer applications. The potential benefits of zinc oxide nanomaterials for tumor imaging, controlled drug delivery, and targeted cancer cell killing can be enormous and may offer clinical therapeutic platforms that simply do not exist today. There are multiple characteristics of ZnO that make these nanomaterials attractive considerations including their versatility, biodegradability, intrinsic fluorescence, relative ease of synthesis, ability to tailor their physiochemical characteristics, ability to functionalize them with chemotherapeutic drugs and cancer targeting molecules and their desirable cancer cell cytotoxicity profile make them appealing candidate for biomedical applications. Due to their low toxicity, low cost and biocompatibility, ZnO NPs are used in vivo bio-imaging, gene/drug delivery and cancer detection. Thus, ZnO NPs can serve as novel nanoplatforms for cancer.
Antimicrobial activity of ZnO nanostructures and its nanocomposites
Among like metal oxide nanoparticles, ZnO-NPs have emerged as novel antimicrobial agent due to its greater durability, lower toxicity, and higher stability and good biocompatibility to human cells. Many studies have been undertaken to explain the mechanism of antibacterial action of ZnO nanoparticles which include reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, Zn2+ ion release, and mechanical destruction of the bacterial cell wall and/or membrane.
