Photocatalytic mineralization of o-toluidine in aqueous media under UV/solar irradiation was achieved by bare and bismuth doped zinc oxide nanoparticles. By adopting different analytical approaches a reaction mechanism is proposed, explaining the differences in photodetoxification performances.

In recent years, green synthesis of nanoparticles has attracted a great attention because of medicine and biological applications. In this work, bismuth oxide nanoparticles (Bi2O3 NP) was prepared via green synthesis using mentha pulegium aqueous extract after 24 h at 90°C. The product was characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray ...

Metal nanoparticles on the surface of porous supports have found numerous applications in different areas science. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, which proceeds cobalt metal nanoparticles, is an efficient way to convert renewables and fossil feedstocks into alternative fuels. The stability catalysts essential even crucial parameter can be significantly improved by promotion. In this paper, a combin...

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) nanostructures were synthesized via solvothermal method. The crystallinity of the as-synthesized sample has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction, which shows the formation of rhombohedral Bi2Se3. Electron microscopy examination indicates that the Bi2Se3 nanoparticles have hexagonal flake-like shape. The effect of the synthesis temperature on the morphology of the Bi2Se3 ...

Bismuth vanadate is one of most studied materials in the field photocatalysis due to its high photocatalytic activity. The modulation optical properties can be engineered by fabricating photonic crystals which bismuth included. In present study, monoclinic clinobisvanite structure has been included a one-dimensional crystal. layers are alternated with on silicon dioxide doped titanium nanoparti...

A novel powder handling technique was used to allow the deposition of bismuth tungstate coatings onto commercial titanium dioxide photocatalytic nanoparticles. The coatings were deposited by reactive pulsed DC magnetron sputtering in an argon/oxygen atmosphere. The use of an oscillating bowl with rotary particle propagation, positioned beneath two closed-field planar magnetrons, provided unifor...

in this work, we report synthesis and characterization of bi2o3 nanoparticles loaded on mesoporous mcm-41 nanoparticles by a simple solid-state dispersion (ssd) method. monoclinic bismuth oxide nanoparticles were prepared by polyacrylamide gel method and used as loading materials on the prepared mesoporous mcm-41 as a supporting material. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray p...

Objectives:Biofilms are communities of bacteria attached to surfaces through an external polymeric substances matrix. In the meantime, Acinetobacterbaumannii is the predominant species related to nosocomial infections. In the present study, the effect of silver nanoparticles alone and in combination with biocides and imipenem against planktonic and biofilms of A. baumannii was assessed.  Materi...
