A biomolecule namely pyocyanin was isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa (BTRY1). It was confirmed by UV-Vis spectrum with absorption maxima at 270 nm and was further characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Spectroscopy analyses showed the presence of relevant bonds in their respective structures. Although pyocyanin had antihemolytic, antioxida...

3-Mercaptopropyl acid-stabilized CdTe nanoparticles synthesized in aqueous solution are effectively bound to a biomacromolecule, papain, via electrostatic interaction. The conjugation between the nanoparticles and the papain is demonstrated by UV-Vis absorption, photoluminescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and fluorescence micrographs. The biological activity of papain is m...

We report the growth by ion exchange synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles in MCM-41 matrices using Zn (CH3COO)2 and Na2S starting sources. The final product (ZnS/MCM-41) was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectrometry (IR) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Its crystalline st...

The first complex picosecond filament, namely a filament of terbium(III) p-hydroxybenzoate, is observed. The filament is the only example of Ln(III) ion two-photon absorption in a complex. A transparent, colorless and mechanically robust thin film, as well as a supramolecular gel, of this complex are prepared in a facile manner and exhibit strong luminescence. The thin film is characterized in ...

Abstract UV/Vis absorption spectroelectrochemistry is a very promising analytical technique due to the complementary information that simultaneously obtained from electrochemistry and spectroscopy. In this work, used in parallel configuration study oxidation of folic acid alkaline medium. Herein, has been detect both products consumed at electrode/solution interface, allowing us develop an prot...

The current applications of electronic devices are converging towards a global interconnection along with portability and compactness. This scenario implies the development of electronic components more and more small, fast, energy efficient and smart as well. The microelectronics industry faces these needs by both scaling and adding novel functions in integrated circuits. By going on such a tr...

Objective: The present study is designed to investigate the interaction of titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO2NPs) with human serum albumin (HSA) using spectroscopic techniques. Methods: TiO2NPs was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Effect of NPs on the conformation of HSA was evaluated by ...

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/zinc oxide (PEDOT/ZnO) nanocomposites were prepared by a simple solid-state heating method, in which the content of ZnO was varied from 10 to 20 wt%. The structure and morphology of the composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission e...

The group of 2D materials contains almost all the elements of the periodic table. In contrast to the graphene sheet, they are abundant, this creates a variety of electronic properties including metals, semimetals, insulators and semiconductors. Band gaps of these materials are direct or indirect by ranging from ultraviolet to infrared, for this reason, have received much attention for nanoelect...
