Nanomaterials, due to their large aspect-to-size ratio and reactive surfaces that facilitate access through biological barriers, can induce oxidative stress in host cells. Therefore, there is a growing concern about the risks of nanomaterials. This study investigated effects copper (1.5 mg/L) as CuO or nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) common carp Cyprinus carpio along with beneficial Myristiga fragrans s...

This paper deals with maximizing dimethyl ether (DME) production from methanol due to its industrial importance as a future diesel fuel. The high acidity and the micro-porous structure of the catalysts encouraged this reaction. Catalysts containg 6% CuO supported on H-ZSM-5 and H-MOR zeolites give high activities for DME production. The 6% CuO/HMOR is more selective for DME production, while th...

Owing to its environment-friendly, biocompatible, non-toxic nature of nanoparticles attained from green plant extract, it has remarkable significance in the field nanotechnology towards effective biomedical application. This work reports synthesis copper oxide by means Cissus quadrangularis and Piper betle via green-synthesis route. The medicinal leaf extracts possessing phytochemicals such as ...

New functionalized CuO hollow nanospheres on acetylene black (CuO/AB) and on charcoal (CuO/C) have been found to be effective catalysts for C-S bond formation under microwave irradiation. CuO catalysts showed high catalytic activity with a wide variety of substituents which include electron-rich and electron-poor aryl iodides with thiophenols by the addition of two equivalents of K2CO3 as base ...

We report the properties of a field effect transistor (FET) and a gas sensor based on CuO nanowires. CuO nanowire FETs exhibit p-type behavior. Large-scale p-type CuO nanowire thin-film transistors (10(4) devices in a 25 mm(2) area) are fabricated and we effectively demonstrate their enhanced performance. Furthermore, CuO nanowire exhibits high and fast response to CO gas at 200 degrees C, whic...

A p-type heterojunction photoelectrode consisting of platinized CuBi2O4 layered on a CuO film was prepared. The CuO|CuBi2O4|Pt electrode photo-generates H2 in pH neutral aqueous solution during visible light irradiation and exhibits a substantially enhanced photocurrent compared to CuO|Pt and CuBi2O4|Pt electrodes. Reduced electron-hole recombination by the band offsets in the heterostructure i...

Sandy soils with high alkalinity are characterized by low copper (Cu) contents that lead to many deficiency symptoms in plants. Cu plants can be corrected using several cheap sources. Nevertheless, the effects novel sources, such as nanoparticles (NPs), have on remain poorly studied. In present work, we investigated effect and efficiency of supplementation onion (Allium cepa L.) sulfate, chelat...
