Manufacturing of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles for Medical Applications Ali M. Ahmed, Russul M. Shehab, Ghaidaa A. Khalid, Mustafa Adnan Zaidan International Journal of Heat and Technology, 2025 The pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) method was used to synthesize ZnO NPs, which were subsequently characterized for their structural, optical, and antibacterial properties.FE-SEM showed the nanoparticles with needle morphology, of size 20-50 nm, which was also confirmed by XRD analysis with high crystallinity of 28.09-31.86nm for average crystallite size.The absorption band at 284.5 nm revealed in UV-Vis spectroscopy was characteristic of the use of ZnO NPs.Antibacterial activity testing was assessed by the well diffusion assay in which inhibition zones of up to 25 1.2 mm for S. aureus and 20 1.5 mm for E. coli were seen at 50 L (50 mg/10 mL) concentration.Results demonstrate that ZnO NPs can act as effective antibacterial agents by damaging bacterial membranes.Compared to the previous studies, which focused on spherical shapes or chemically synthesized ZnO NPs, however, this work can show the macroporous fabrication of highpurity, needle-shaped ZnO NPs with a single step, eco-friendly pulsed laser ablation in liquid technique, leading to higher antibacterial activity by enhancing surface area reactivity and crystallinity.The results of this study indicate that the pulsed laser ablation in liquid method is a suitable way to produce high-purity ZnO NPs for potential use in biomedical fields, including antimicrobial and wound healing applications.
Optimization of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles Production by Pulsed Laser Ablation: A Study on Energy Density Effects Ali M. Ahmed, Russul M. Shehab, Mayss Alreem N. Hammed, Ghaidaa A. Khalid, Ghufran S. Jaber, Mustafa Adnan Zaidan Annales De Chimie Science Des Materiaux, 2025 Nanomaterial's especially metal oxide nanoparticles have recently been of interest in many fields such as physics, biology, and medicine.This work employs Pulsed laser ablation in liquid as a clean and versatile technique for synthesizing copper oxide nanoparticles that produce high-quality materials with minimal chemical interference.Copper plates were treated in deionized water using laser energy density to produce copper nanoparticles at two different energy densities of 400 and 800 mJ.Copper oxide nanoparticles categorized by X-ray diffraction method, UV-visible spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).Changes in absorption spectra and subsequent UVvisible spectroscopy were observed for particle size, with a redshift at greater laser intensity (650 nm for 800 mJ compared to 600 nm for 400 mJ).X-ray diffraction (XRD) result presented this material as having a monoclinic crystalline structure with particle size estimated to be between 30 and 60 nm (34.626 and 34.714 2 for 400 mJ; 31.49 and 66.45 2 for 800 mJ).Specific morphological analyses through SEM showed products contained elongated nanoflake-like shaped particles extending to 800 mJ that aggregated into a rough structure which boost their catalytic effectiveness.These results confirm application for photocatalytic activities, antibacterial activity, and enhanced biomedical science by controlling size, optical, structure, and morphology.
