• ] by the tape casting method. These ZnO plates showed a good photocatalytic activity for azo dyes that depended on their surface area. Shen et al. [34] have shown that depositing ZnO on silica nanoparticles is a simple and effective method to prepare photocatalysts that could degrade 90% methylene blue

Au, iron oxide, polymer and silica nanoparticles have been studied in targeted drug delivery [3][4][5][6][7][8]. In cancer
