in the present work, we report the synthesis of binary nano metal oxides such as zinc /copper oxide via novel dry synthetic methods such as thermal decomposition of oxalate precursor. the synthesis route involves facile solid-phase mechanochemical activation of a physical mixture of simple copper/zinc salts and oxalic acid, followed by calcination of the as-ground oxalate precursors at 450◦c. x...

in the present study, comparison of  photocatalytic activity of nanostructures semiconductor zinc oxide (zno) was prepared using the different methods on the degradation of organic dye such as methylene blue that was investigated. previous studies have proved that such semiconductors can degrade most kinds of persistent organic pollutants, such as detergents, dyes, pesticides and volatile organ...

zinc oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by chemical reaction method.  polyvinyl alcohol (pva) composite film filled with nanometric, monodispersed zinc oxide nano particles prepared by pva solution and nanozinc oxide. polymer blend with zno nanoparticle composite film has prepared by casting technique.  the property of nano composites depends greatly on the chemistry of polymer matrices....

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer between two dyes Fluorescein and Rhodamine 6G were investigated in solution in the presence and absence of Zinc oxide nanoparticle. Zinc oxide nanostructure is used as the fluorescence enhancing agent for the present study since donor (Fluorescein) fluorescence increase significantly in presence of nanoparticle. Accordingly, the energy transfer efficiency ...

The nanoparticle technologies consisting of multiple layers of mixtures of activated carbon and ruthenium (IV) oxide for super capacitors are reported. The mono-particulate layer process described here is a modified Langmuir-Blodgett trough. We report the processes for a spray-coated zinc nanopowder electrode used as a counter-electrode forming a galvanic cell of extremely high charge storage c...

Phytotoxicity is an important consideration to understand the potential environmental impacts of manufactured nanomaterials. Here, we report on the effects of four metal oxide nanoparticles, aluminum oxide (nAl(2)O(3)), silicon dioxide (nSiO(2)), magnetite (nFe(3)O(4)), and zinc oxide (nZnO), on the development of Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress). Three toxicity indicators (seed germinati...
