Published: May 15, 2023

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) exhibit vast potential in numerous applications, such as wastewater treatment and catalysis. In this study, we report the green synthesis of Ag-NPs using Acacia ehrenbergiana plant cortex extract to reduce cationic Rhodamine B (RhB) dye for antibacterial antifungal applications. The involves three main phases: activation, growth, termination. shape morphologies prepared were studied through different analytical techniques. results confirmed successful preparation with a particle size distribution ranging from 1 40 nm. used heterogeneous catalyst RhB aqueous solutions presence sodium borohydride (NaBH4). showed that 96% catalytic reduction can be accomplished within 32 min 20 μL 0.05% suspension 100 mM solution, 2 mL deionized water, 10 NaBH4 solution. followed zero-order chemical kinetic (R2 = 0.98) reaction rate constant k 0.059 mol L-1 s-1. Furthermore, agents against 16 Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria well fungus. is environmentally friendly inexpensive, yields highly stabilized by phytochemicals. substantial reductions antimicrobial activity reflect novelty Ag-NPs.

A pragmatic review on photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange dye pollutant using greenly biofunctionalized nanometallic materials: A focus on aquatic body

Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 37(7)

Published: April 20, 2023

Water is the source of life. But unfortunately, 80% wastewater discharged into aquatic body untreated globally, which industry responsible for 70% such water abstraction through discharge pollutants like methyl orange. According to WWAP, pollution kills 100 million individuals, 2 marine animals, and seabirds yearly, by 2025, it forecasted that ~1000 inhabitants in arid zones will experience severe crisis, thus, security has become focal outcry due daily environmental escalation caused rapid growth industries population. Recently, biosynthesized nanoparticles as photocatalysts have answered call sustainable treatment orange dye effluent photodegradation because their efficient photoactivity, inexpensiveness, eco‐benignness. In this review, photocatalytic‐degradation mechanism pathways environment presence • OH − O using green were mechanistically discussed. The highest degradation efficiency was found be 100%, final mineralization products H CO , least time taken min with silver being most commonly used degrader plant extracts employed bioreductant biosynthesis nanoparticles.

Doped Ceria Nanomaterials: Preparation, Properties, and Uses

ACS Omega, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 8(34), P. 30802 - 30823

Published: Aug. 15, 2023

Doping is a powerful strategy for enhancing the performance of ceria (CeO2) nanomaterials in range catalytic, photocatalytic, biomedical, and energy applications. The present review summarizes recent developments doping with metal non-metal dopants selected most important are grouped into s, p, d, f block elements, relevant synthetic methods, novel properties, key applications doped collated critically discussed. Non-metal similarly examined compared using same criteria. reveals that (N, S, P, F, Cl) has mainly been synthesized by calcination hydrothermal it found mostly photocatalysis or as cathode material LiS batteries. In contrast, have prepared wider routes evaluated larger number applications, including catalysts photocatalysts, antibacterial agents, devices such fuel cells, gas sensors, colorimetric detectors. Dual/co-doped containing both metals non-metals also reviewed, co-doping often leads to improved properties single-element doping. concludes future outlook identifies unaddressed issues synthesis nanomaterials.
