Nanocrystalline complex oxides have been synthesized by combination of sol–gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation techniques using copper nitrate, zinc nitrate as metallic nitrates and glycine, urea and thiourea as fuels. Sol-gel combustion (combination of the chemical sol–gel process and the combustion process) as a proper synthesized technique is used to synthesize ZnO/CuO nanocomposi...

BACKGROUND The growing threat of microbial resistance against traditional antibiotics has prompted the development of several antimicrobial nanoparticles (NPs), including silver NPs (AgNPs). In this article, a simple and eco-friendly method for the synthesis of AgNPs using the cranberry powder aqueous extract is reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cranberry powder aqueous extracts (0.2%, 0.5%, an...

The current study manifested that the aqueous flower extract of Peltophorum pterocarpum contain bioactive compounds, is found to be responsible for bioreduction during the synthesis of silver nanoparticles The synthesis of silver nanoparticles occurred under the exposure of the flower extract to 1mM silver nitrate aqueous solution .During this process the complete reduction was observed nearly ...

Introduction: Humic acids have adverse effects on the water quality, then should be removed from water resources. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nitrate as a radical scavenger for removal of humic acid from aqueous solutions by electron beam irradiation. Materials and Methods: In this study, after preparation of stock humic acid solution in alkaline condition, different con...

In order to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), novel electrolyte materials based on CeO2 and BaCeO3 are being developed in the scientific realm. In this context, we propose a new methodology for preparing the nano-ceramic composite materials such as BaCe0.9Gd0.9O3-δ – Ce0.9Gd0.9O2-δ (BCGO–CGO) and BaCe0.8Sm0.2O3-δ – Ce0.8Sm0.2O2-δ (BCSO – CSO) as possible elec...

The metallic nanoparticles have great attention of Chemists, Physists, Biologists and Engineers who wish to use them for development of new generation nanodevices. In this present study silver nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous silver nitrate (1mM) through a simple and ecofriendly route using leaf broth of Ocimum sanctum as reductant and stabilizer. The aqueous silver ions when exposed...
