ZnO nanoparticles were synthesised within the pores of the zeolite ferrierite (FER) by a novel molten salt impregnation method and compared to a traditional wet impregnation method. The structure and optical properties were characterised by powder XRD, photoluminescence and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The XRD results reveal a distinct difference in the effect of the impregnatio...

Recently, photothermal therapy has become a promising strategy in tumor treatment. However, the therapeutic effect was seriously hampered by the low tissue penetration of laser. Therefore, in this study, radiofrequency (RF) with better tissue penetration was used for tumor hyperthermia. First, one type of gold nanorods (AuNRs) suitable for RF hyperthermia was selected. Then, poly(lactic-co-glyc...

The facile and economical electrochemical and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) methods have been employed in order to prepare manganese oxide (MnO2) and iron oxide (Fe2O3) thin films, respectively with the fine optimized nanostructures on highly flexible stainless steel sheet. The symmetric and asymmetric flexible-solid-state supercapacitors (FSS-SCs) of nanostructured (na...

The field of impact electrochemistry, namely, electrochemical processes occurring at nanoparticles during collisions with a substrate electrode, has recently been applied to the recovery commercially important metals. In this study, reduction and oxidation solution Mn(II) were observed on carbon black particles nanoimpacts, onset potentials in good agreement voltammetry. formation Mn(0) MnO2 wa...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND It is imperative to eliminate bacteria present in water in order to avoid problems in healthy. Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi bacteria are two common pollutants and they are developing resistance to some of the most used bactericide. Therefore new biocide materials are being tested. Thus, gold nanoparticles are proposed to inhibit the growth of these two microorg...

The combination of chemotherapy with photodynamic therapy (PDT) has attracted broad attention as it can overcome limitations of conventional chemo-treatment by using different modes of action. However, the efficacy of PDT to treat solid tumors is severely affected by hypoxia in tumors. Methods: In this study, we developed oxygen-generating theranostic nanoparticles (CDM NPs) by hierarchically a...

The electrode reactions of haloargentates were investigated in an aprotic and hydrophobic amide-type ionic liquid, 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (BMPTFSA) the presence halide ions. Silver halides, AgX (X – = Cl , Br I ) found to be soluble BMPTFSA containing 0.5 M BMPX form halogenocomplex, [AgX 3 ] 2– . cathodic reduction metallic Ag was observed within electr...

Using the chemical reduction method, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were effectively synthesized into the zeolite framework in the absence of any heat treatment. Zeolite, silver nitrate, and sodium borohydride were used as an inorganic solid support, a silver precursor, and a chemical reduction agent, respectively. Silver ions were introduced into the porous zeolite lattice by an ion-exchange pa...

We study the impact of (MnO2–ZrO2) nanoparticles on optical properties (PVA) polymer. Several samples were produced with different weight ratios nanoparticles. To prepare selected samples, casting method is used. record absorption spectrum, wavelengths 200–1100 nm are applied. have determined coefficient, energy gap for indirect transitions (forbidden and allowed), constants (such as dielectric...
