Interfacing intact and metabolically active photosynthetic bacteria with abiotic electrodes requires both establishing extracellular electron transfer immobilizing the biocatalyst on electrode surfaces. Artificial approaches for photoinduced harvesting through redox polymers reported in literature require separate synthesis of artificial polymeric matrices their subsequent combination bacterial cells, making development biophotoanodes complex less sustainable. Herein, we report a one-pot...
Water-resistant and environmentally friendly sodium-alginate-based films have been investigated to develop functional materials extend the food’s shelf-life. A water-stable alginate-based film was prepared, employing both internal external gelation approach in presence of CaCl2. To apply this food packaging thus preserve quality, aim work is perform a chemical physical characterization proposed materials, evidencing main features stability under different conditions. Water contact angle...
An extensive optical and photoelectrochemical study of blended systems composed organic-capped TiO(2) nanocrystals with either a spherical or rodlike morphology conjugated polymer, MEH-PPV, is presented. The absorption emission properties the heterojunctions have been characterized both in solution thin films. structures deposited onto conductive substrates employed as active layers systems. investigation has focused on photoinduced charge transfer recombination processes at interface...
This paper reported the first example on use of chitosan films, without further modification, to remove and recover, through bio-sorption processes, emerging pollutant Diclofenac from water. The latter was adopted as a model, among non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, by obtaining maximum adsorption capacity, qmax, about 10 mg/g, under applied experimental conditions work. literature gap which already used for dyes heavy metals removal, adsorb pollutants water covered, claiming wide range...
In this work, for the first time, snail slime from garden snails “<italic>Helix Aspersa Müller</italic>”, has been used to induce formation of eco-friendly gold nanoparticles (AuNPs-SS) suitable biomedical applications.
β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) were used to prepare insoluble polymers using epichlorohydrin as a cross-linking agent the azo dye Direct Red 83:1 was target adsorbate. The preliminary study related adsorbent dosage, pH, agitation or concentration allowed us select best conditions carry out rest of experiments. kinetics evaluated by Elovich, pseudo first order, second intra-particle diffusion models. results indicated that order model presented fit...
