Zinc Oxide Introduction
Zinc oxide is an important raw material. It is widely used in various fields because of its high thermal stability, light resistance and acid and alkali resistance. For example, zinc oxide plays an important role in the production of plastics, silicate products, synthetic rubber, lubricants, paints and coatings, ointments, adhesives, food, batteries, flame retardants and other products. In the semiconductor field, zinc oxide is also widely used in liquid crystal displays, thin film transistors, light-emitting diodes and other products because of its large band gap and exciton binding energy, high transparency and excellent room temperature luminescence performance.

Structure and composition
Zinc oxide crystals have three structures: hexagonal wurtzite
structure, cubic sphalerite structure, and the rare sodium chloride
octahedral structure. The wurtzite structure is the most stable of
the three and is therefore the most common. The cubic sphalerite
structure can be obtained by gradually generating zinc oxide on the
surface. In both crystals, each zinc or oxygen atom forms a regular
tetrahedral structure with its neighboring atoms. The octahedral
structure has only been observed under high pressure conditions of
10 billion Pascals.
Advantages
Broad Application Fields: Suitable for plastics, silicate products,
synthetic rubber, lubricating oils, paints and coatings, ointments,
adhesives, foods, batteries, flame retardants, and many other
products.
Excellent Luminescent Properties: Applied in semiconductor products
such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), thin-film transistors
(TFTs), and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Effective Sunscreen Agent: Capable of absorbing ultraviolet (UV)
radiation, providing broad-spectrum UV protection (both UVA and
UVB).
Application Fields
Rubber Industry: Acts as a reinforcing agent and activator,
enhancing rubber's elasticity and abrasion resistance.
Cosmetics: Offers oil absorption and concealing properties,
suitable for sensitive skin.
Semiconductor Field: Used in the manufacture of LCDs, TFTs, LEDs,
and other products.
Pharmaceutical Industry: Utilized in the production of ointments
and sunscreens, providing skin protection and sunscreen effects.
Eco-friendly Materials: Used in the production of eco-friendly
paints and plastics.
Theory
Zinc oxide belongs to the N-type semiconductor category, exhibiting excellent luminescent properties at room temperature. It has a large energy band gap and exciton binding energy, resulting in high transparency. The principle of zinc oxide absorbing UV radiation is that electrons in the valence band can absorb energy from UV radiation and undergo transitions. The function of scattering UV radiation is related to the particle size of the material, with nanoscale particles offering significant advantages.
