Dye degradation study using anatase and rutile titania suggests maximum efficiency of about 88% phase for MB under short UV light however, the long was not more than 65% (anatase/ rutile/EBT).
We present one-pot colloidal synthesis of copper indium telluride (CITe) from respective metal salts with sodium tellurite in 1-octadecene variation surfactant at the reaction temperature between 200 and 300 °C. Oleic acid and/or oleyl amine are employed to initially, generate tellurides individual element intermediate stage. The tuning parameter including variations play important role for formation phase-pure CuInTe2 nanocrystals a band-gap about 1.15 eV. phase-purity was confirmed by XRD....
Zinc oxide (ZnO)–polycarbonate (PC) nanocomposite films were prepared by blade coating method using pre-synthesized spherical ZnO nanoparticles of 15–20 nm size and pre-dissolved polycarbonate. The blend was homogenized sonication the dried in an oven at moderate temperature. Various with different % loading PC their effect on antibacterial properties studied. It is observed that increasing wt-% leads to enhanced against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) Escherichia coli (E. coli). freshly...
Nano-sized materials have been an important tool in basic and applied sciences. A novel, low cost, green reproducible bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus mediated biosynthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) was reported the present study. Initial conformational studies were done using UV-visible spectroscopy confirmed synthesis TiO2 NPs broth. The detailed characterization TiO2NPs carried out SEM, XRD, FTIR Raman spectroscopy. From it that sample showed smooth spherical with...
Hybrid nanocomposite materials are widely being investigated due to their superior thermoelectric and mechanical properties. Due eco-friendly behaviour, low cost processing, these can be utilized in flexible devices.
Thermal polymerization of pyrrole was performed using silver nitrate as source ions followed by its conversion to Polypyrrole (PPy)/Ag nano-comoposites without any external oxidizing agent or solvent. The formation PPy monitored UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy showing a band at approximately 464 nm. XRD measurement confirmed characteristic peaks for face centered cubic (fcc) and presence 2 theta 23 degrees suggesting the PPy/Ag nanocomposite. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images...
