Properties, Storage and Cautions
Zinc nanoparticles are highly flammable and must be handled with extreme care. Rapid movements, friction, and vibration should be avoided.
The powder must be protected from:
-
Sunlight
-
Heating sources
-
Moisture
-
Physical impact
Particle agglomeration is a major concern; therefore the nanoparticles should be stored sealed under vacuum in cool, dry conditions.
Avoid exposure to air whenever possible.
Applications
Zinc is a widely used industrial metal, and its nanoscale form offers enhanced surface activity and reactivity. Typical applications include:
-
Anti-corrosion coatings (e.g., galvanization of steel)
-
Batteries and fuel cells
-
Alloys for water valves and precision mechanical components
-
Automotive, electrical, and hardware industries
-
Gamma-ray detector materials
-
Semiconductor and optoelectronic devices
-
Hydrogen production systems
-
Rocket propellants
-
Anti-wear and anti-fouling agents
