nowadays, green chemistry and its advantages are generating interest of researchers toward ecofriendly biosynthesis of the metallic nanoparticles. in this research, a rapid, simple and green method was developed for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles using aqueous extract of prangos ferulaceae leaves. the synthesized silver nanoparticles were characterized by uv-vis spectroscopy, scanning el...

Further increase in energy density of lithium batteries is needed for zero emission vehicles. However, energy density is restricted by unavoidable theoretical limits for positive electrodes used in commercial applications. One possibility towards energy densities exceeding these limits is to utilize anion (oxide ion) redox, instead of classical transition metal redox. Nevertheless, origin of ac...

An environmentally friendly method using a cell-free extract (CFE) of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata is proposed to synthesize gold nanowires with a network structure. This procedure offers control over the shapes of gold nanoparticles with the change of HAuCl4 concentration. The CFE solutions were added with different concentrations of HAuCl4, resulting in the bioreduction of gold ions and biosynt...

The structural and magnetic properties of BaFel, I z,cO,Ti~,Ois (0(x< 1.0) M-type barium ferrite have been investigated by means of neutron powder diffraction and high-field magnetization measurements. The cationic’distribution and magnetic moments of the five different metallic sublattices are determined and compared to the experimental saturation magnetization. It is found that about 50% of C...

The new high current injector consisting of an RFQ and an IH structure accepts ions with a mass-to-charge ratio m/q up to 65 with a space charge limit of 0.25 emA m/q. Two types of high current ion sources are used to deliver ion beam currents up to the space charge limit of the RFQ. As a source for ions of gaseous elements a multi cusp ion source (MUCIS) [1] was used. Metallic ions were produc...

We have demonstrated that the relaxometry technique is very efficient to quantify paramagnetic ions during in situ electrolysis measurements. Therefore, the goal of this work was to validate the relaxometry technique in the determination of the concentration of the ions contained in electrolytic solutions, Cu(2+), Ni(2+), Cr(3+), and Mn(2+), and compare it with other analytical methods. Two dif...

Cysteine-containing peptide oxidation was studied both by using an inert platinum electrode and a sacrificial electrode (copper or zinc) generating metallic ions in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Using peptides containing one, two and three cysteines, we have compared the different chemical and electrochemical oxidation pathways of cysteine (RS(-II)H) to cystine (RS(-I)S(-I...

Yeast cells have controllable biosorption on metallic ions during metabolism. However, few studies were dedicated to using yeast-regulated biomimetic mineralization process to control the strontium-doped positions in calcium phosphate microcapsules. In this study, the yeast cells were allowed to pre-adsorb strontium ions metabolically and then served as sacrificing template for the precipitatio...

A method for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of the divalent ions of iron, cobalt, nickel and copper based on the formation of their complexes with 1,5-bis(di-2-pyridylmethylene) thiocarbonohydrazide (DPTH) is proposed. The resolution of quaternary mixtures of these metallic ions was accomplished by several chemometric approaches. A comparative study of the results obtained fo...
