Biological mediated Ag nanoparticles from Barleria longiflora for antimicrobial activity and photocatalytic degradation using methylene blue

Photocatalytic outcomes for methylene blue degradation from CTAB mediated mesoporous ZnS, synthesized with an insoluble precursor in ethanol media

The aim of the present study is to demonstrate how mesoporous nanostructures of Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) will precipitate in an ethanol media in spite of negligible solubility of Sodium Nitrate (Na2S), which is role-played as sulfur precursor. On the following, the role of such synthesizing method on the photocatalytic behavior of ZnS mesoporous nanostructures has been investigated. Characterization ...

Visible light photocatalytic activity of MWCNT/TiO2 using the degradation of methylene blue

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT)-doped TiO2 thin films were synthesized by the dip-coating method. The obtained products were characterized by SEM, EDX, XRD, and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The XRD patterns showed the presence of anatase phase. Absorption spectrum of MWCNT-doped TiO2 revealed a red shift in the optical absorption edge due to carbon doping. The photocatalytic properties...

Synthesis and Characterization of Ag-Ag2O/TiO2@polypyrrole Heterojunction for Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Hybrid multi-functional nanomaterials comprising two or more disparate materials have become a powerful approach to obtain advanced materials for environmental remediation applications. In this work, an Ag-Ag2O/TiO2@polypyrrole (Ag/TiO2@PPy) heterojunction has been synthesized by assembling a self-stabilized Ag-Ag2O (p type) semiconductor (denoted as Ag) and polypyrrole (π-conjugated polymer) o...

Ag/MgAl2O4nanoparticles Prepared by a Modified Hydrothermal for Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue

Antimicrobial Activity and Photocatalytic Degradation Properties of Zinc Sulfide Nanoparticles Synthesized by Using Plant Extracts

Biological synthesis of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared by a simple co-precipitation method using methanol plant extracts of Tridax procumbens, Phyllanthusniruri, and Syzygium aromaticum. The as-prepared ZnS NPs was examined by several physiochemical techniques such as X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transf...
