The compounds, lanthanium chromite, lanthanium magnetite and lanthanium ferric oxide were prepared through sol-gel methods in powdered form, then calcinated, peletized, and sintered at various temperatures. Electrical conductivity of these compounds was measured at various temperatures. The effectiveness of strontium as a dopant on electrical conductivity was also investigated. Electrical condu...

Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are among the most highly produced nanomaterials, and have many diverse functions in catalysis, environmental remediation, as sensors, and in the production of personal care products. In this study, the toxicity of several widely used metal oxide NPs such as copper oxide, silica, titanium oxide and ferric oxide NPs, were evaluated In vitro. We exposed A549, H1650...

Ferritin is an iron storage protein that is often used to coat metallic nanoparticles, such as iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). However, the synthesis and biocompatibility of ferritin-coated IONPs remain unclear. Therefore, this study reports the synthesis of a ferritin gene cloned and expressed from Helicobacter pylori (HPFn). The ferroxidase activity of the synthase HPFn was used for the de ...
