## Description

- description: 'Ultraviolet (UV) radiation causes serious health risks to living organisms.
    Inorganic metal oxides, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO),
    have long been recognized for their effectiveness as UV radiation filters/blockers
    in sunscreen formulations. TiO2 and ZnO as UV-blocking materials have some limitations
    and issues such as producing harmful radicals and toxicity, respectively. As a
    result, there is a growing need to develop efficient and safe UV-blocking materials
    to overcome these limitations associated with conventional TiO2 and ZnO materials.
    Zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4), a ternary metal oxide, is expected to be a promising
    candidate due to its optical properties and potential for UV-blocking capability.
    This manuscript presents a comprehensive investigation into the development and
    characterization of Zn2SnO4 as a potential alternative filter to TiO2 and ZnO
    for UV protection. The fundamental characteristics, including structural, optical,
    and photocatalytic characteristics, as well as cell viability, were investigated
    for two Zn2SnO4 morphologies: cubic aggregate Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles (ZTO CANP)
    and Zn2SnO4 nanoparticles (ZTO NP), which were compared with the performance of
    TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NP) and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NP). Interestingly, in
    addition to their promising UVB and partial UVA blocking properties, ZTO CANP
    and ZTO NP were found to be relativity photocatalytically inactive materials,
    which means they produce less free radical species as in the case of TiO2 NP,
    and they are not considered as toxic materials as in the case of ZnO NP. To the
    best of our knowledge, this is the first direct comparison study examining the
    performance of Zn2SnO4 ternary metal oxide for its potential use as a UV filter.
    Further research and optimization need to be done on these materials, particularly
    ZTO CANP as a promising alternative UV filter.'
