tellurium (te) nanostructures have been successfully synthesized via a simple hydrothermal methodfrom the reaction of a tecl4 aqueous solution with thioglycolic acid (tga) as a reductant. tga can be easily oxidized to the corresponding disulfide [sch2co2h]2, which in turn can reduce tecl4 to te. the obtained te was characterized by xrd, sem, eds, and drs. the effect of reducing agent on morphol...

Developing of alternative chiral thiol stabilizers from the assembly of achiral thiol (e.g. thioglycolic acid) and chiral ligand (e.g. arginine) via both hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions was proposed and successfully applied to an efficient preparation of chiral CdS quantum dots (QDs). Chiral CdS QDs capped mainly with achiral thioglycolic acid were also obtained that may allow t...

in this work, we report, optical properties of cd1-xsnxte quantum dots (x= 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15) synthesized in water using thioglycolic acid (tga) as a modifier agent. the optical characterization of the samples was performed through absorption (uv) and photoluminescence spectra (pl). a red shift absorption and fluorescent emission peaks was observed which can be related to the increase of nano...

Human hair keratin films were used in order to examine the e#ects of reducing and oxidizing agents. Thioglycolic acid and sodium bromate were employed as reducing and oxidizing agents, respectively. The white and opaque appearance of the keratin films turned transparent as the concentration of thioglycolic acid increased. However, when followed by the oxidizing treatment, the keratin films retu...
