TiO2 anatase nanoparticles are among the relevant players in field of light-responsive semiconductor nanomaterials used to face environmental and energy issues. In particular, shape-engineered nanosheets with dominant {001} basal facets gained momentum because possibility exploit different and/or improved functional behaviors respect usual bipyramidal nanoparticles, mainly exposing {101} facets. Nevertheless, such behavior depends a significant extent on physicochemical features surfaces...
Combining IR spectroscopy and DFT modelling, we show that in shape-engineered TiO 2 anatase nanoparticles capping agents’ thermal removal leads to a reconstruction of {001} facets compatible with the “add-oxygen” not “add-molecule” model.
Water pollution, resulting from industrial effluents, agricultural runoff, and pharmaceutical residues, poses serious threats to ecosystems human health, highlighting the need for innovative approaches effective remediation, particularly non-biodegradable emerging pollutants. This research work explores influence of shape-controlled nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2 NC), synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, on photodegradation efficiency three different classes environmental...
Hydrogen production via formate photoreforming on TiO2 is characterized by marked dependence the ratio between {101} and {001} surfaces for anatase nanoparticles. We observed higher rates of hydrogen evolution with increase facets presence, owing to their reductive nature. This helps Pt photodeposition in early stages irradiation and, then, ion reduction reaction. The selective 2 nm nanoparticles was confirmed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs. results are also experiments...
Methodology for SI traceable determination of particle number concentration by reference NM-free spICP-MS.
The da Vinci Single Port (SP) robotic surgical system has minimized the impact of surgery on patients. Hence, outpatient procedures are being explored to reduce costs and improve patient experience. Here, we evaluate perioperative outcomes safety same-day discharge (SDD) after compared inpatient using SP.
Subnanosecond fluorescence kinetics of malachite green and erythrosin were measured. The lifetime depends on the viscosity solution as η2/3. decreases linearly concentration water increases in a water–acetone mixture. quenching is attributed to environmental effects nonradiative internal conversion intersystem crossing rates, respectively.
In the present work a series of design rules are developed in order to tune morphology TiO2 nanoparticles through hydrothermal process. Through careful experimental design, influence relevant process parameters on synthesis outcome studied, reaching develop predictive models by using Machine Learning methods. The models, after validation and training, able predict with high accuracy terms nanoparticle size, polydispersity aspect ratio. Furthermore, they implemented reverse engineering...
Heavy metals are life-threatening pollutions because of their great toxicity, long-term persistence in nature and bioaccumulation living organisms. In this work, we performed multivariate curve resolution–alternating least squares analysis UV-Vis raw spectra received by a colorimetric sensor constructed on mercaptoundecanoic acid functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs@11MUA) to detect Cd2+, Cu2+, Mn2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ water. This combined approach allowed the rapid identification...
781 Background: Trimodality therapy (TMT) with transurethral resection followed by radiation of the urinary bladder and chemotherapy is associated similar long-term survival rates compared to radical cystectomy (RC) for well-selected patients. Nevertheless, salvage RC may become necessary in 10% patients receiving TMT. We aimed assess perioperative outcomes after prior TMT through a large multinational cohort study. Methods: included pure urothelial cancer bladder. Patients undergoing due...
This study investigates the synthesis of shape-controlled titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles via a hydrothermal method, examining influence pH variation (8, 10, 12, and 14) subsequent thermal treatments (200°C 230°C) on phase transitions morphological transformations. The resulting TiO₂ nanostructures—including nanorods, nanotubes, nanoflowers, elongated bipyramids, irregular flower-like assemblies—undergo from anatase to brookite. Their photocatalytic performance is assessed for aqueous...
ABSTRACT Beckwith–Wiedemann spectrum (BWSp) is an overgrowth disorder caused by (epi)genetic alterations in chromosome 11p15. This study aimed to develop BWSp‐specific growth charts and explore genotype/phenotype correlations with respect growth. Heights, weights, head circumferences were retrospectively collected from 581 individuals BWSp the Netherlands, Italy, United States. The Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale, Shape (GAMLSS) method was employed following charts:...
