Quite interesting work!

Have you proved your NPs in other fields?
We obtained ZnO needles by TO (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mssp.2019.104888).

In the XRD patterns, what is the implication of the Higher relative intensity of (002) lattice?
what do you mean?

So far we have only tested the ZnO-HD particles on their photocatalytic activity for their potential use in wastewater treatment, our results are shown in poster #39.

For antimicrobial purposes, it is usually expected that a smaller crystal, particle and hydrodynamic size will yield a better antimicrobial effect. In our results we saw that this was not the case. ZnO-HD had a better antimicrobial effect overall despite its bigger crystal, particle and hydrodynamic size. Because of that we hypothesized that the higher presence of the (002) lattice, which is a polar lattice, plays a big role in the antimicrobial activity of ZnO.
