With the increase of life expectancy and population growth,neurodegenerative diseases have risen too and are projected to be a major health public concern by 2050.Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive decline of cognitive function leading to the subsequent loss of autonomy.Although the underlying causes of neurodegeneration are not well understood,aging is the main risk factor.

In this work, thin films growth at different ZnNO3 concentrations: 0.02 M, 0.03 M and 0.04 M by chemical bath deposition (CBD) as-prepared on glass substrates at 80 °C ± 2 °C. Patterns Diffraction x-ray (DRX) shown peaks 2θ = (31.72, 32.769, 34.36, 36.10, 47.44, 56.52, 62.78, 67.84 and 69.02), at concentration 0.02 M show formation from hydrozincite [Zn5(CO3)2(OH)6]. The optical band gap shifts from 3.8 eV to 3.6 eV. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra show intensity variation of the green emission (GE) may be resulted from variation of the intrinsic defect in ZnO films, such zinc vacancy (VZn), oxygen vacancy (VO), and interstitial zinc (Zni), interstitial oxygen (Oi). The presence of defects in our samples is responsible for the observed broad visible PL bands; this indicates reductions of oxygen vacancies and increase of oxygen interstitials. It could be believed that the presence of defects in samples is responsible for the observed broad visible PL band. The concentration increased the visible defect luminescence, which might be due to improvement to sample stoichiometric. The presence of both green emission (GE) and yellow emission (YE) can be seen through the deconvolution of the defect increasing the concentration, the position of the GE shifted from 1.96-2.45 eV and the increase of its intensity. The shifts of these two visible PL bands might be due to changes in local environments of the defects centers in samples due to increased concentration. Therefore, the GE relate to donor levels dominated due to increase of oxygen vacancies. ZnO is an n-type semiconductor and it means that most defects are Zn interstitials and oxygen vacancies. Raman spectra showed increase of the 437 cm-1 (E2 mode) peak intensity due concentration 0.4 M.
