Catalysts and catalyst supports

• Methanol synthesis catalyst
• Increased activity due to smaller particle size and higher surface area.
• Higher loading and better dispersion of the active species due to the high surface areas of the support.
• Increased selectivity due to defined pore structure of the support
• Increased wear resistance.

Cosmetic and skin care market

• Sunscreens, moisturizers, color foundations, lipstick and lip balm with SPF, medicated creams
• Improved UV, chemical and antimicrobial protection.
• Improved odor elimination due to higher surface area.

Paints and coatings

• Biocidal (mold-growth inhibitor, antibacterial)
• Enhanced biocidal characteristics due to higher surface area
• Higher coverage per unit mass due to lower density
• Improved transparency due to small particle sizes

Solar cells

• Nanostructured ZnO Electrodes
• Improved light-to-energy conversion efficiencies

Transparent UV resistant coatings

• Better physical-optical properties due to enhanced control over particles.

Varistors

• Smaller grains and increased number of grain boundaries leading to better performance.
• Miniaturization and weight decrease of the varistor.
