Abstract: (1733 Views)
In this paper, a facile and simple method is used to synthesize a nanotherapeutic agent for photodynamic therapy. Photodynamic therapy is a non-invasive method with the ability to selectively destroy cancerous cells that is highly regarded. The basis of this method is the production of reactive oxygen by the interaction of a laser beam with photosensitizer materials or metal oxide nanostructures. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are of interest for cancer treatment in various areas, drug delivery and cell imaging. In this paper, an easy and simple method is used to synthesize a nanotherapeutic agent for photodynamic therapy. Morphology, crystal structure and optical characteristics of the sample were examined by scanning electron microscopy, XRD analysis, and UV-Visible spectroscopy. The results confirm the formation of ZnO nanorods with suitable crystal structure and band gap energy of 3.336 eV. Considering the band gap energy at different concentrations of the nanostructures reveal that this energy is the same in all cases with a good approximation. The specific surface area of the sample for loading different drugs was about 69 m2 / gr.
