Summary: The low-temperature microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used to successfully grow pure and Al-doped ZnO nanorod arrays on glass substrates. The effects of doping and pH on the structural and optical properties of the samples were investigated, and a growth mechanism considering both the pH and Al-doping was proposed. Tuning the solution pH is crucial for growing well-aligned, high-quality nanorod arrays with enhanced optical absorption in the visible range. The production of these arrays would broaden the potential applications of ZnO and AZO nanorods.

Summary: Graphene Oxide Quantum Dots (GOQD) have been extensively studied for their applications in photocatalysis and antibacterial activities. This study synthesized GOQD/ZnO nanosheets using pyrolysis and hydrothermal methods, and investigated their photocatalytic and antibacterial properties. The results showed that p-GOQD/ZnO exhibited better photocatalytic activity and antibacterial performance compared to h-GOQD/ZnO, due to its superior characteristics such as synergistic effects, low dislocation density, large surface area, and defects.

Summary: Water contamination by organic pollutants poses a serious threat to the environment and living organisms. Photocatalytic degradation using porous oxygen-doped Graphitic carbon nitride (POCN) has been identified as an effective, low-cost, and eco-friendly method. This study successfully synthesized POCN through a combination of nanostructure preparation, band gap engineering, and defect introduction, leading to improved photocatalyst efficiency. The POCN photocatalyst exhibited high degradation capability for Congo Red (CR) under visible light, with higher degradation rates observed under sunlight. Superoxide radical anions were identified as the active species responsible for the degradation.

Summary: The amount of surfactant CTAB added to the precursor affects the morphology of ZnO flower-like nanostructures, with nanosheet-assembled nanoflowers showing better photocatalytic performance due to their larger specific area and more OH groups absorbed on the surface. The thickness of the nanosheets in the nanoflowers can be controlled by adjusting the CTAB amount.

Summary: The 20NaF-60P2O5-20Na2O fluorophosphate glass systems doped with 3 wt% of CoO and NiO were investigated for their optical parameters before and after gamma irradiation. The presence of defects within the glass network and the addition of transition metals were found to affect the properties of the composites. After irradiation, a red shift was observed in the dissipation factor spectrum. The energy lost at the surface of the composites was larger than the energy lost within the constituent materials. All investigated composites showed insulating behavior and exhibited increased nonlinear optical parameters after irradiation, with the CoO-doped composite showing the highest values.

Summary: In this study, the effect of copper doping within ZnS on glass substrates was investigated through experimental and theoretical approaches. Pure ZnS and Cu-doped ZnS films with varying copper concentrations were deposited on glass substrates using the SILAR technique. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of the films were characterized, and the theoretical FP-LAPW method based on density functional theory was employed to study the properties of copper-doped ZnS.
