What is a Zinc oxide (ZnO)?

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a white powdery or crystalline inorganic compound composed of zinc and oxygen. It is known for its wide band gap and high electron mobility, making it a useful semiconductor material. Due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, it is widely used in sunscreens, cosmetics, and UV-protective products. It also has antibacterial and deodorizing properties, making it useful in medical products, textiles, and rubber. In the rubber industry, it plays a key role as a vulcanization activator. ZnO is also used in ceramics, glass, and pigments. With its environmentally friendly properties, especially in nanoparticle form, zinc oxide is a versatile and safe material with broad industrial, cosmetic, and electronic applications.
