We report on the conformal synthesis of ultrathin films from the amino acid histidine on flat silicon substrates and 3D periodic polymer structures via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. We demonstrate the efficient utilization of this functional amino acid nanocoating for the formation of individual titania nanoparticles with dimensions from 2 to 15 nm depending upon reduction conditio...

The supported palladium nanoparticles catalyst with uniform-sized Pd particles distribution and without nitrogen or chlorine atoms present in catalyst was prepared by calcination of the supported [Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2] complex as precursor and characterized by TEM. Moreover the supported [Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2] complex was from cation exchanging [Pd(lysine·HCl)(Cl)2] complex with inorganic support...

The morphology and anti bacterial activity of capped Silver Nanoparticles of 5-Methyl 2-mercapto benzimidazole prepared via chemical reduction is studied. Spherical shaped capped Ag-NPs with size of 40nm are obtained by treatment of aqueous silver ions with ethanolic solution of 5-Methyl 2-mercapto benzimidazole as capping agent .The synthesized nanoparticles are characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD,...

DNA-mediated gold nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of DNA-Au(III) complex. The DNA-Au(III) was first formed by reacting DNA with HAuCl₄ at a pH of 5.6. The complex in solution was reacted with hydrazine reducing Au(III) to Au. The reduced Au formed nanodimensional aggregates. The particle distributions were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electro...

The present study describes the development of a green synthesis of silver nanoparticles reduced and stabilized by exuded gum from Anacardium occidentale L. and evaluates in vitro their antibacterial and cytotoxic activities. Characterization of cashew gum-based silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was carried out based on UV-Vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scatteri...

We present a one-step solvothermal approach to prepare uniform graphene-TiO(2) nanocomposites with delicately controlled TiO(2) nanostructures, including ultra-small 2 nm nanoparticles, 12 nm nanoparticles and nanorods. Using three composites as photoanode materials, the effect of nanostructure of graphene-composited TiO(2) on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells was investigated, and ...
