The present invention relates to coated metal oxide particles, to a process for preparing such coated particles by means of flame spray pyrolysis technology, to metal oxide particles derived from such a process, to the compositions comprising such particles and also to the uses thereof.

A method of manufacturing an inorganic oxide particle having an inorganic oxide core and a hydroxyl group bonded to a surface thereof includes: preparing a first composition including an inorganic oxide core precursor and a proton supply compound; and heating the first composition. Additional embodiments provide a method of manufacturing an inorganic oxide layer including an inorganic oxide particle manufactured by the method, and a light-emitting device including an inorganic oxide layer manufactured by the method.

A composite nanomaterial of ZnO impregnated by, e.g., a green copper phthalocyanine compound (CuPc) can be an efficient solar light photocatalyst for water remediation. The composite may include hollow shell microspheres and hollow nanospheres of CuPc-ZnO. CuPc may function as a templating and/or structure modifying agent, e.g., for forming hollow microspheres and/or nanospheres of ZnO particles. The composite can photocatalyze the degradation of organic pollutants such as crystal violet (CV) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid as well as microbes in water under solar light irradiation. The ZnO-CuPc composite can be stable and recyclable under solar irradiation.

A cleaning sachet for removing carbon deposit and rust on a gun element, and a cleaning method thereof, uses cleaning powder that includes aluminum oxide making up 75.000% to 99.989% by weight of the cleaning powder, zinc peroxide making up 0.010% to 9.000% by weight of the cleaning powder, and nano zinc oxide making up 0.001% to 6.000% by weight of the cleaning powder. A user can lay the cleaning sachet on a carbon-deposited and/or rusting area of the gun element before or after moistening the cleaning sachet with a lubricating oil, and then wipe the carbon-deposited and/or rusting area with the cleaning sachet after waiting a period of time. Therefore, the colloidal solution formed by mixing the lubricating oil and the cleaning powder and released out of the cleaning sachet can remove the carbon deposit and/or rust on the surface of the gun element.

A zinc oxide nanocomposition is modified with a homobifunctional imidoester compound and an antibiotic composition contains the zinc oxide nanocomposition as an active ingredient. Also, a combination preparation contains the zinc oxide nanocomposite and an antifungal agent. The zinc oxide nanocomposite provides an antibiotic composition which is less toxic while exhibiting excellent antibiotic activity, for example, antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal activity. The antibiotic composition is usable to prevent contamination or infection by viruses, bacteria or fungi, inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria or fungi, or treat infections by viruses, bacteria or fungi.
