Background and aim: Bimetallic silver/gold nanosystems are expected to significantly improve therapeutic efficacy compared their monometallic counterparts by maintaining the general biocompatibility of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) while, at same time, decreasing relatively high toxicity silver (AgNPs) toward healthy human cells. Thus, aim this research was establish a highly reproducible one-pot green synthesis colloidal AuNPs bimetallic Ag/Au alloy (NPs; Ag/AuNPs) using starch as reducing...
Citric juice-mediated tellurium nanoparticles with biomedical applications.
Currently, hydrogen production is based on the reforming process, leading to emission of pollutants; therefore, a substitute method imminently required. Water electrolysis an ideal alternative for large-scale production, as it does not produce any carbon-based pollutant byproducts. The green from water using intermittent sources (e.g., solar and eolic sources) would facilitate clean energy storage. However, electrocatalysts currently required are noble metals, making this potential option...
The world faces threats that the United Nations has classified into 17 categories with different objectives as solutions for each challenge are enclosed in Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These actions involved widespread use of science and technology pathways to ensure their implementation. In this regard, sustainability seeks research community's contribution addressing sustainable development challenges. Specifically, nanotechnology been recognized a key tool provide disruptive...
The conformal atomic layer deposition of a transparent conductive oxide composed Al-doped ZnO (AZO) over three-dimensional (3D) shaped ZrO2 microarchitectures produced using two-photon lithography (TPL) is reported here for the first time. effect morphology, surface roughness, and crystallographic phase (tetragonal monoclinic) on quality properties deposited AZO thin films investigated. No discontinuities, domains, or areas differing from desired chemical composition have been found in grown...
Cancer and antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics are two of the most worrying healthcare concerns that humanity is facing nowadays. Some promising solutions for these problems may come from nanomedicine. While traditional synthesis nanomaterials often accompanied by drawbacks such as high cost or production toxic by-products, green nanotechnology has been presented a suitable solution overcome challenges. In this work, an approach tellurium (Te) nanostructures in aqueous media developed...
Nanostructured silver (Ag) and gold (Au) are widely known to be potent biocidal cytotoxic agents as well biocompatible nanomaterials. It has been recently reported that combining both metals in a specific chemical composition causes significant enhancement their antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, anticancer effects, while preserving cytocompatibility properties. In this work, Ag/Au bimetallic nanoparticles over complete atomic range were prepared at 10 at%...
The production of nanoparticles for biomedical applications (namely with antimicrobial and anticancer properties) has been significantly hampered using traditional physicochemical approaches, which often produce nanostructures poor biocompatibility properties requiring post-synthesis functionalization to implement features that such require. As an alternative, green nanotechnology the synthesis environmentally friendly nanomaterials have gaining attention over last few decades, living...
Abstract Developing efficient and low‐cost electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial sustainable hydrogen production through water splitting. In this study, CoFe 2 O 4 NiFe nanoparticles as were prepared via an inexpensive method involving use of bicontinuous microemulsions nanoreactors. The crystalline structure, morphology, elemental composition characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, TEM, EDS mapping. electronic structure textural properties examined using XPS...
Background and Aim: Over the past years, noble metal-based nanoparticles have been extensively investigated for their applications in nanomedicine. However, there are still concerns about potential adversities that these may present an organism. In particular, whether they could cause exacerbated cytotoxic response susceptible tissues due to damage or disease, such as heart, liver, spleen, kidneys. this regard, study aims evaluate cytotoxicity of mono- bimetallic gold silver (Au:Ag NPs) on...
