O nanocompósito de partículas de ZnS estabilizadas por íons cetiltrimetilamônio (ZnS-CTA) e montmorilonita (ZnS−CTA−MMT) foi preparado e usado como catalisador na fotodecomposição de fenol sob radiação UV de uma lâmpada de Hg de pressão média. A quantidade de ZnS em ZnS−CTA−MMT foi aproximadamente 6 wt.%. Para comparação, a fotodecomposição foi também realizada com ZnS−CTA, montmorilonita e sem...

Abstract Quaternary quantum dots (QDs) have recently gained more attention due to their low toxicity, tunable wavelength, reduced or no blueshift emission upon overcoating, improved photoluminescence (PL) yield, and PL lifetime when compared binary (II–VI) ternary (I–III–VI) counterparts. In this work, the aqueous synthesis of ZnCuInS/ZnS–ZnS multi-shell quaternary QDs as a nanosensor for selec...

Zonisamide (ZNS), a commonly used anticonvulsant, scavenged hydroxyl radicals at a clinically relevant concentration. Reactants of ZNS with hydrogen peroxide and with hydrogen peroxide plus UV irradiation, yielding hydroxyl radicals, were analyzed by the LC/MS technique. Many small fragments were found in the both reactions, suggesting that ZNS was decomposed not only by hydroxyl radicals but a...

Core-satellite ZnS-Au nanoassemblies, in which each of the ZnS nanospheres was surrounded by a few Au nanoparticles, have been successfully prepared with a facile L-cysteine-assisted hydrothermal approach. The density of Au nanoparticles encircling each ZnS nanosphere can be readily controlled through suitably modulating the concentration of Au added. Because of the difference in band structure...

Abstract Capacitive charge transfer at the electrode/electrolyte interface is a biocompatible mechanism for stimulation of neurons. Although quantum dots showed their potential photostimulation device architectures, dominant photoelectrochemical combined with heavy-metal content in such architectures hinders safe use. In this study, we demonstrate heavy-metal-free dot-based nano-heterojunction ...

Water-dispersible core/shell/shell ZnSeS/Cu:ZnS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) capped with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) were successfully prepared via a one-pot method. The are photostable, exhibit Cu-related photoluminescence (PL) emission located at 500 nm and PL yield of 21%. QDs was demonstrated to be selectively quenched by Pb2+ ions method for the rapid sensitive detection in real water sampl...

Cu doped ZnS Nanoparticles in powder form were prepared by wet chemical route method by using thioglycerol as a capping agent. The prepared powder was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The XRD studies indicated that most of the samples are having cubic phase. The absorption spectra, and photoluminescence behaviour of bulk ZnS, nano ZnS and Cu doped ZnS have been studied. ...

   Hybrid polyaniline (PANI) based composites incorporating zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized by using chemical oxidation technique. Schottky junction is constructed by depositing Polyaniline-zinc sulfide nanocomposite (PANI-ZnS NCs) on Au electrode. The results were compared with pure polyaniline. The I–V characteristics of the PANI-ZnS NCs hete...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Zonisamide (ZNS) is one of new antiepileptic drug, which is known to inhibit seizure through multiple mechanisms of action. In Korea, ZNS was approved as an antiepileptic drug in 1992 and has been used for epilepsy patients with partial and generalized seizures. The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of ZNS in patients with epilepsy a...
