Figure 1. Representative Scanning Electron Microscopy images of the four ZnO samples used in present study. Samples were analyzed by a LEO (Zeiss) 1530 Scanning Electron Microscope at a magnification of 10,000× as well as 50,000× (inserts). Four different samples of ZnO particles are indicated as: ZnO I (from Nanostructured and Amorphous Materials Inc., with a declared primary particle diameter of 20 nm and a specific surface area (SSA) of 50 m2/g), ZnO II (Nanoactive, from Nanoscale Materials I
