Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 33Enhanced Bactericidal and Photocatalytic Activities of Zno Nanostructures by Changing the Cooling Route(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018) Horzum, Nesrin; Isık, Tuğba; Hilal, Mohamed Elhousseini; Işık, Tuğba; 03.09. Department of Materials Science and Engineering; 03. Faculty of Engineering; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyWe report on a simple synthesis of ZnO nanowires by calcination of zinc acetate. The effect of calcination temperature and cooling route on the antibacterial and photocatalytic properties is demonstrated by varying the size and surface area of the nanowires. The decrease of the calcination temperature followed by a rapid cooling procedure leads to a smaller size and larger surface area of the nanowires. ZnO nanowires are found to be effective against the growth of E. coli at the microgram level. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized ZnO nanowires is demonstrated by the successful degradation of the organic dye methylene blue.
