In this study, Eu-doped CdSe nanoparticles with variable Eu3+ content were synthesized by a simple sonochemical method. Eu3+ substitution into the structure of CdSe resulted in a material with new physical properties, composition and morphology. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscop...

In the present study, silver-doped TiO2 (Ag/TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by various Ag doping (wt%) and a combination of sol-gel and ultrasound irradiation. Ag/TiO2 nanoparticles were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. Based on the Taguchi method, photocatalytic...

Nickel doped TiO2nano particles (1% w/w) were prepared and immobilized on NaX zeolite and after characterization by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy used as photo catalyts for degradation of orange G. The X-ray diffraction patterns show that the supported TiO2 are crystallized in anatase form and the intensity of the zeolite peaks decreases with the incre...

ZnO and Mn-ZnO nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel auto combustion method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of ZnO and Mn-doped ZnO was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. ...

Sol-gel technique was used to coat multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with anatase titania to increasing the surface area and improve the photocatalytic activity of TiO2. Room temperature ballistic conduct of MWCNT combined with semiconducting behavior of anatase brought about a photocatalytic improvement of ~37 % with respect to the highest methyl orange decolorization flair. For characteriza...

In this research, the thin films of N-S doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) were successfully prepared by simple sol-gel method in the presence of tetrabutylorthotitanate as a starting reagent. Furthermore, titanium dioxide (TiO2) was functionalized with thiourea. Furthermore, N-S doped titanium dioxides (NSTO) were fixed on glass balls by glass balls fixed-bed reactor system. Besides, the effect of ...

OBJECTIVE To explore the radiosensitization effect of overexpression of silent information regulator 6 (SIRT6) on A549 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. METHODS Adenovirus vector Ad-SIRT6 causing overexpression of SIRT6 was established. Western blotting and MTT assay were adopted to detect the level of SIRT6 protein and the inhibitory rate of A549 cell proliferation after different co...
