In this work, a novel electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) was developed using three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) reduced graphene oxide–Au nanoparticles–molybdenum disulfide (RGO-AuNPs-MoS2) composite material as sensing interface and Au nanoparticles–carbon-coated ferroferric oxide (AuNPs-Fe3O4@C) signal amplifier. The 3DOM RGO-AuNPs-MoS2 exhibited ex...

cu2o nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of schiff base copper (ii) complex (1) as precursor. liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. the nano structure of the complex was characterized by x-ray diffraction measurement...

A combination of SEM, AES and angle-resolved XPS (ARXPS) has been applied to analyse the distribution of chemical compounds in the surface region of electrochemically etched molybdenum tips and to determine the contamination layer thickness. Carbon monoxide, graphite, molybdenum carbide and molybdenum oxide were found to be the main surface contaminants on molybdenum tips. Auger line profiling ...

Interface confined reactions, which can modulate the bonding of reactants with catalytic centres and influence the rate of the mass transport from bulk solution, have emerged as a viable strategy for achieving highly stable and selective catalysis. Here we demonstrate that 1T'-enriched lithiated molybdenum disulfide is a highly powerful reducing agent, which can be exploited for the in-situ red...

in this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (fe3o4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. in this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

Molybdenum(VI) oxide reacts with molten LiC1-KCI eutectie at 450 ~ to form MOO2C12, which probably is present as an anion MoO2Cl4 =, and pyromolybdate, Mo207 =. Both of these species are electrochemically reduced to MOO2, which can be reoxidized to MoO2CI2 by current reversal. A second reduction step, observed whether MoO3 or Mo2072is added to the melt, can be attributed to the reduction of MoO...

in this work, copper oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized via extractive rosmarinus officinalis leaves by simple and economic co-precipitation method at ambient conditions which it has used (ch3coo)2cu+h2o individually as cu sources. it was found that uniform copper oxide nanoparticles have been successfully produced at various temperature, namely 400, 600, and 800 0c. powder x-ray diffrac...

The production and use of iron oxide nanoparticles are growing exponentially due to its wide applications in different fields of science and technology. The objective of this study is to synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles, and modification of its surface to make it less toxic. The iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method, and surface modification was done u...

background and aims: although metal and metal oxide nanoparticles are used in different medical applications, they may have considerable toxicity on various cells, such as myocytes. therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the toxicity of the naked and serum-treated silver nanoparticles (ag nps) and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo nps) on the cardiomyocytes. materials and methods: cardiomyocy...

introduction: our previous study has showed that chronic administration of magnesium oxide nanoparticles (mgo np) can reduce anxiety in adult male rat. in this study the effects of mgo np on anxiety induced by morphine withdrawal were investigated in adult male mice. methods: adult male nmri mice (weighing 27 ± 3 g) divided into groups: control, receiving intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of mgo...
