Comparative cradle-to-gate life cycle assessment of hydrothermal zinc oxide nanowire synthesis methods
Abstract
Comparative environmental impacts of ZnO nanowires synthesized via a conventional sol–gel method and a novel Fehling-inspired one. Results show that the novel approach lowers impacts, guiding future efforts toward greener nanomaterial production.
