In this study, α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 nanocomposite (NC) coated with polyethylene glycol were synthesized via hydrothermal synthesis, achieving uniform particle formation and controlled crystallinity. Characterization using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) confirmed the physical attributes and homogeneity of the nanocomposite. Polyethylene glycol-coated α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 showed a reduced crystalline size of 19.13 nm compared to 22.93 nm for uncoated nanoparticles. Optical band gap measurements revealed values of 4.64 electron volts for polyethylene glycol, 1.98 electron volts for α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 NC, and 3.18 electron volts for α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@polyethylene glycol nanocomposites, indicating both insulating and semiconducting behaviors. The photocatalytic performance of the polyethylene glycol-coated α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 was demonstrated by a 99.4% degradation of Brilliant Cresyl Blue (BCB) dye within 120 minutes at a concentration of 5 milligrams per milliliter, with a pseudo-first-order rate constant of 0.02047 per minute. Furthermore, the nanocomposites exhibited strong recyclability and reusability, making them viable candidates for environmental remediation. The study underscores the potential of α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 NC in applications such as water treatment and antioxidant therapies.

本研究通过水热合成法合成了聚乙二醇包覆的 α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 纳米复合材料 (NC),实现了均匀的颗粒形成和可控的结晶度。利用傅立叶变换红外光谱(FT-IR)、紫外可见光谱(UV-Vis)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和能量色散 X 射线光谱(EDAX)进行的表征证实了纳米复合材料的物理属性和均匀性。聚乙二醇包覆的 α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 的结晶尺寸缩小到 19.13 nm,而未包覆纳米粒子的结晶尺寸为 22.93 nm。光带隙测量结果显示,聚乙二醇的光带隙值为 4.64 电子伏特,α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 NC 的光带隙值为 1.98 电子伏特,α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4@聚乙二醇纳米复合材料的光带隙值为 3.18 电子伏特,这表明它们同时具有绝缘和半导体特性。聚乙二醇包覆的α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4的光催化性能得到了证实,在浓度为每毫升5毫克的条件下,120分钟内对亮甲酚蓝(BCB)染料的降解率为99.4%,伪一阶速率常数为每分钟0.02047。此外,纳米复合材料还表现出很强的可回收性和可再利用性,使其成为环境修复的可行候选材料。这项研究强调了 α-Fe2O3/Fe3O4 NC 在水处理和抗氧化疗法等应用中的潜力。

Present work reports on the synthesis of NiO-incorporated nanotorous ZrO2 synthesized by facile co-precipitation method for supercapacitor application. The as-synthesized composite was characterised using FTIR and XRD confirming the successful synthesis of ZrO2-NiO composite (ZNC). FESEM analysis also revealed morphology transition from nanoclusters of tiny ZrO2 particles and stacked flakes of NiO to self-assembled nanotorus ZNC. Electrochemical analyses (like CV, GCD, EIS) also revealed improved electrochemical behaviour of ZrO2 whose specific capacitance increased from 87.77 F/g to 251 F/g in ZNC at 1 A/g. This could be attributed to the synergistic effect of nanotorous morphology in the presence of NiO. These observations were well complemented by a reduced band gap (~ 2.96 eV) and lower charge transfer and solution resistance. A mechanistic insight was also proposed for a deeper understanding of the development of torous structured material. This work provides a closer look into how NiO-driven torous morphology of ZrO2-NiO composite has improved the electrochemical performance of ZrO2.

本研究报告采用简便的共沉淀法合成了掺杂氧化镍的纳米多孔 ZrO2,用于超级电容器。利用傅立叶变换红外光谱和 XRD 对合成的复合材料进行了表征,证实成功合成了 ZrO2-NiO 复合材料 (ZNC)。FESEM 分析还揭示了从微小 ZrO2 颗粒的纳米团簇和堆叠的片状 NiO 到自组装纳米 ZNC 的形态转变。电化学分析(如 CV、GCD、EIS)也显示 ZrO2 的电化学性能有所改善,在 1 A/g 时,ZNC 的比电容从 87.77 F/g 增加到 251 F/g。这可能归因于纳米多孔形态在氧化镍存在下的协同效应。这些观察结果与带隙减小(约 2.96 eV)、电荷转移和溶液阻力降低相辅相成。此外,还提出了一种机理见解,以加深对多孔结构材料发展的理解。这项工作让人们更深入地了解了 NiO 驱动的 ZrO2-NiO 复合材料多孔形貌如何改善了 ZrO2 的电化学性能。

The current work aimed to prepare silymarin (SMR) and metformin (MTH)-loaded nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) added in-situ thermoresponsive gel for the treatment of oral cancer. In brief, the nanostructured lipid carriers were designed using Compritol and oleic acid whereas the mucoadhesive sol-gel thermoresponsive system was prepared using gellan gum/Poloxamer. The obtained SMR/MTH-NLCs were characterized for Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy–attenuated total reflectance, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), particle size, zeta potential, in-vitro release, etc. Moreover, the SMR/MTH-NLCs incorporated gel was characterized for sol-gel temperature, viscosity, ex-vivo mucoadhesion, etc. Here, SMR/MTH-NLCs showed a spherical shape with a particle size of 258.2 ± 1.2 nm and zeta potential − 35 ± 0.2 mV, respectively. Further, the sol-gel transition could form gel at 35.2 ± 0.5 ℃ providing site-specific and sustained release of SMR and MTH. Ex-vivo permeation of formulation exhibited longer retention that confirmed the good mucoadhesion potential of gellan gum. The cell viability studies demonstrated a significant reduction of KB oral cancer cells that confirms the increased synergistic anticancer effects of SMR/MTH-NLCs incorporated gel (IC50 = 0.65 ± 0.12 µM) than free drug combination. These findings illicit the potential of SMR/MTH-NLCs incorporated gel formulation to localize delivery of SMR and MTH at buccal mucosa in the treatment of oral cancer.

Graphical Abstract

目前的研究旨在制备水飞蓟素(SMR)和二甲双胍(MTH)负载的纳米结构脂质载体(NLCs),并添加原位热致伸缩凝胶,用于治疗口腔癌。简而言之,纳米结构脂质载体是用康普瑞托和油酸设计的,而粘液粘附性溶胶-凝胶热致伸缩系统则是用结冷胶/聚羟丙基醚制备的。对所获得的 SMR/MTH-NLCs 进行了傅立叶变换红外光谱-衰减全反射、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、原子力显微镜(AFM)、粒度、ZETA 电位、体外释放等表征。此外,还对加入 SMR/MTH-NLCs 的凝胶进行了溶胶-凝胶温度、粘度、体内外粘附性等表征。结果表明,SMR/MTH-NLCs 呈球形,粒径为 258.2 ± 1.2 nm,zeta 电位为 - 35 ± 0.2 mV。此外,溶胶-凝胶转变可在 35.2 ± 0.5 ℃ 的温度下形成凝胶,从而实现 SMR 和 MTH 的定点和持续释放。制剂的体内外渗透表现出较长的保留时间,这证实了结冷胶具有良好的粘附潜力。细胞存活率研究表明,KB 口腔癌细胞明显减少,这证实了与游离药物组合相比,加入 SMR/MTH-NLCs 的凝胶(IC50 = 0.65 ± 0.12 µM)具有更强的协同抗癌效果。这些发现表明,SMR/MTH-NLCs凝胶制剂具有在口腔粘膜局部释放SMR和MTH治疗口腔癌的潜力。

Pollutants from industrial effluents create a wide problem concerning harm to humans, the environment, and climate. This work focuses on developing TiO2 nanowires (NWs) for photocatalytic activity and water treatment applications. The three different temperatures calcined TiO2 nanowires were synthesized via hydrothermal method followed by subsequent calcination at various temperatures. The TiO2 nanowires were analyzed using techniques such as UV spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), TEM, and BET to investigate their structural, morphological, and surface properties. The FE-SEM and TEM micrographs of TiO2 nanomaterial show well-defined wire morphology with an average size of 150–200 nm. All the synthesized nanowires show a significant band gap in the range of 3.42–3.56 eV associated with the UV region. The calculated BET surface area of the formed TiO2 nanowires for T0, T1, T2, and T3 is 4.84, 124.5, 19.28, and 23.51 m2/g respectively. The results demonstrate its potential as an efficient and sustainable photocatalysis and dye degradation solution. The efficiency of the nanowires was analyzed through photocatalytic degradation experiments using model organic pollutants from nitrophenol under UV light irradiation. The outcomes show that the low-temperature calcined TiO2 (T1) nanowires efficiently degraded PNP (para-nitrophenol) pollutants up to 76% in low pollutant concentration at 40⁰C in a UV visible cabinet and the percentage recovery of Catalyst is around 98%. due to their high surface area 124.5m2/g). The nanowires exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity, enabling effective degradation and mineralization of pollutants. Its ability to efficiently remove contaminants under UV or visible light irradiation makes it a sustainable and effective solution for treating wastewater from diverse industrial effluents.

工业废水中的污染物对人类、环境和气候造成了广泛的危害。这项工作的重点是开发具有光催化活性和水处理应用的二氧化钛纳米线(NWs)。通过水热法合成了三种不同温度煅烧的二氧化钛纳米线,然后在不同温度下进行煅烧。利用紫外光谱、扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)、X 射线衍射(XRD)、TEM 和 BET 等技术对二氧化钛纳米线进行了分析,以研究其结构、形态和表面特性。TiO2 纳米材料的 FE-SEM 和 TEM 显微照片显示出平均尺寸为 150-200 nm 的清晰线状形态。所有合成的纳米线都显示出明显的带隙,范围在 3.42-3.56 eV 之间,与紫外区相关。经计算,T0、T1、T2 和 T3 所形成的 TiO2 纳米线的 BET 表面积分别为 4.84、124.5、19.28 和 23.51 m2/g。这些结果证明了其作为一种高效、可持续的光催化和染料降解解决方案的潜力。在紫外光照射下,利用模型有机污染物硝基苯酚进行光催化降解实验,分析了纳米线的效率。结果表明,在紫外可见光箱中,40⁰C 的低浓度条件下,低温煅烧的 TiO2(T1)纳米线能有效降解 PNP(对硝基苯酚)污染物,降解率高达 76%,由于其比表面积高达 124.5m2/g),催化剂的回收率约为 98%。纳米线表现出卓越的光催化活性,能有效降解污染物并使其矿化。它能够在紫外线或可见光照射下有效去除污染物,是处理各种工业废水的可持续有效解决方案。

The development of photocatalysts that can efficiently remove organic pollutants is crucial for environmental clean-up. In this study, we present the synthesis of stable TiO2-SnO2 nanocomposites using the sol-gel method. Various characterization techniques were employed to analyze the structural, morphological, and optical properties of the samples. The photocatalytic efficiency of the nanocomposites was assessed by examining the degradation of Congo red (CR) dye under sunlight. All samples exhibited over 90% degradation within 2 h, with the optimized sample achieving 99.0% efficiency and a rate constant of 3.3 × 10− 2 min− 1. The stability of the photocatalyst was validated through reusability tests, which showed more than 90% efficiency even after five cycles. The photocatalytic mechanism is thoroughly explained using band edge positions and effective charge transfer processes due to the formation of a heterojunction. Additionally, BET analysis and zeta potential measurements were conducted to gain a deeper understanding of the catalytic process.

Antibiotic resistant bacterial infection in the chronic wounds poses a significant threat to the human health. This necessitates the development of novel wound dressings with multi-mechanistic effects on the wound healing and pathogen control. To address this challenge and to promote more effective wound healing, this study has been deigned to investigate the therapeutic promises of green synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver-zinc oxide (Ag-ZnO) bimetallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) using the aqueous extract of Hemigraphis colorata. The synthesized BMNPs were found to have superior potential for combating the wound pathogens and also to accelerate the wound healing. The characterization of green synthesized ZnONPs and BMNPs was performed in the study by using UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). Here, the HR-TEM analysis has revealed the synthesized ZnONPs and BMNPs to have diameter of 7–20 nm range and 4–20 nm respectively. Antibacterial evaluation of BMNPs has further demonstrated its superior activity when compared with the ZnONPs against the selected wound pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This has further been evidenced by the lower minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of BMNPs (0.312, 0.625, 0.625 and 0.312, mg/mL) respectively against S. aureus, E.coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa when compared with the same for ZnONPs alone (0.625, 1.25, 1.25, 0.625 mg/mL). Furthermore, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis showed the morpho-mechanistic insights into the mode of action of BMNPs due to the disruption of intact cellular morphology of treated organisms. Here, the untreated E.coli and S.aureus were observed to have the normal rod-like and cocci-like cellular morphology which is confirmatory to the disruption observed in treated cells as to be due to the action of BMNPs. Up on further coating on collagen, the BMNPs were found to retain its antimicrobial activity against the tested pathogens as evidenced by the formation of zone of inhibition. This further indicates the BMNPs biofabricated in the current study to have the promises for clinical applications. In addition, cytotoxicity analysis by MTT assay has demonstrated the BMNPs to have minimal toxicity on L929 cell lines. Here, 96% of cell viability could be observed when the L929 cell line was treated with 6.25 µg/mL concentration of BMNPs. These results suggest the promising potential of the synthesized BMNPs, particularly when incorporated into the collagen-based wound dressings, for promoting effective wound healing.

慢性伤口中的耐抗生素细菌感染对人类健康构成了严重威胁。因此,有必要开发对伤口愈合和病原体控制具有多机制影响的新型伤口敷料。为了应对这一挑战并促进更有效的伤口愈合,本研究设计了一种绿色合成氧化锌(ZnO)和氧化银锌(Ag-ZnO)双金属纳米粒子(BMNPs),利用半枝莲的水提取物来研究其治疗前景。研究发现,合成的 BMNPs 在对抗伤口病原体和加速伤口愈合方面具有卓越的潜力。研究使用紫外-可见光谱、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X 射线衍射(XRD)和高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HR-TEM)对绿色合成的 ZnONPs 和 BMNPs 进行了表征。高分辨透射电子显微镜分析表明,合成的 ZnONPs 和 BMNPs 的直径范围分别为 7-20 纳米和 4-20 纳米。与 ZnONPs 相比,BMNPs 对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠埃希氏菌、肺炎克雷伯氏菌和铜绿假单胞菌等所选伤口病原体的抗菌评估进一步证明了其卓越的活性。与单用 ZnONPs(0.625、1.25、1.25 和 0.625 mg/mL)相比,BMNPs 对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌和铜绿假单胞菌的最低抑制浓度(MICs)分别较低(0.312、0.625、0.625 和 0.312 mg/mL),进一步证明了这一点。此外,场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)分析表明,BMNPs 破坏了被处理生物的完整细胞形态,从形态机制上揭示了其作用模式。在这里,观察到未经处理的大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌具有正常的杆状和球菌状细胞形态,这证实了在处理过的细胞中观察到的破坏是由于 BMNPs 的作用造成的。在胶原蛋白上进一步涂布后,发现 BMNPs 对测试病原体仍具有抗菌活性,抑制区的形成就是证明。这进一步表明本研究中生物制造的 BMNPs 具有临床应用前景。此外,通过 MTT 试验进行的细胞毒性分析表明,BMNPs 对 L929 细胞株的毒性极低。用 6.25 µg/mL 浓度的 BMNPs 处理 L929 细胞系时,可观察到 96% 的细胞存活率。这些结果表明,合成的 BMNPs 具有促进伤口有效愈合的巨大潜力,尤其是在加入胶原蛋白伤口敷料后。

Dapsone (DAP) is used to treat leprosy, a Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). However, its low solubility often leads to low efficacy. In this work, ZIF-8 nanostructures loaded with DAP (DAP@ZIF-8) were successfully synthesized with suitable drug loading (DL) through a one-pot synthesis. Different parameters of the synthesis method were evaluated in terms of DL and crystal structure, and the optimized systems were characterized regarding crystallinity, morphology, molecular interactions, hydrodynamic size, and thermal stability. The results showed that the water/DMSO synthesis was effective in entrapping DAP (11.1%±2.8), providing characteristic morphology and crystal structure of ZIF-8. Particle size (193.4 ± 1.1 and 168.7 ± 2.0), polydispersity index (≤ 0.2), and zeta potential (11.4 ± 5.1 and 19.6 ± 3.13) results were consistent with nanostructured systems for both ZIF-8 and DAP@ZIF-8, respectively. Electron micrographs demonstrated the nanosized structures and their shapes, and FT-IR spectra confirmed the encapsulation of DAP and its intermolecular interactions with the organic fraction of ZIF-8. Thermal analysis confirmed the degradation profile of ZIF-8 and the molecular dispersion of DAP. In summary, the one-pot synthesis of DAP@ZIF-8 has been successfully employed to obtain an innovative system capable of loading over 10% drug, which significantly improves over other nano-based systems and represents a promising DAP delivery platform.

多apseone(DAP)用于治疗麻风病(一种被忽视的热带疾病)。然而,其溶解度低往往导致疗效不佳。在这项工作中,通过一锅合成法成功合成了负载有 DAP 的 ZIF-8 纳米结构(DAP@ZIF-8),并具有合适的药物负载量(DL)。从 DL 和晶体结构的角度对合成方法的不同参数进行了评估,并对优化后的体系在结晶度、形态、分子相互作用、流体力学尺寸和热稳定性等方面进行了表征。结果表明,水/二甲基亚砜合成法能有效地夹带 DAP(11.1%±2.8),提供 ZIF-8 的特征形态和晶体结构。ZIF-8 和 DAP@ZIF-8 的粒度(193.4 ± 1.1 和 168.7 ± 2.0)、多分散指数(≤ 0.2)和 zeta 电位(11.4 ± 5.1 和 19.6 ± 3.13)结果分别与纳米结构体系一致。电子显微照片显示了纳米结构及其形状,傅立叶变换红外光谱证实了 DAP 的封装及其与 ZIF-8 有机部分的分子间相互作用。热分析证实了 ZIF-8 的降解曲线和 DAP 的分子分散。总之,DAP@ZIF-8 的一锅合成方法成功地获得了一种创新的系统,该系统能够负载 10% 以上的药物,与其他基于纳米的系统相比有了显著的改进,是一种很有前景的 DAP 给药平台。

In this study, an operative technique was presented for the synthesis of the magnetically separable γ-Fe2O3@SiO2@ZIF8@Ag photocatalyst. The synthesized nanostructures were identified using various structural analyses, including XRD, EDX/SEM, FTIR, bandgap, and VSM. Their ability to remove norfloxacin (NOR) was then examined by studying the effects of various parameters, including photocatalyst dose, solution pH, initial NOR concentration, and reaction time. The results showed that the catalyst had the best performance, with an efficiency of 100% under UV light and 96.2%unnder visible light, at a catalyst dose of 0.4 g/L and a reaction time of 45 min. Stability tests also showed that the synthesized photocatalyst maintained its proper performance after five cycles, and its efficiency was reduced by only 4.5%. Also, a comparison between the adsorption and the photocatalytic process showed that the adsorption process removed only 42% of NOR after 60 min, whereas the photocatalytic process, under both visible and UV light irradiation, was able to eliminate 100% of NOR in the same time period. The results showed that the degradation kinetics follow the first-order kinetic model. The reaction rate constants using UV and visible lamps were 0.082 and 0.056 min− 1, respectively, which indicates the degradation rate for UV light is 1.46 times higher compared to visible light. Also, the half-life times for the process with UV and visible light were 8.4 and 12.3 min, respectively. The average oxidation state (AOS) and carbon oxidation state (COS) of the process increased over time, indicating good degradation of NOR and conversion of non-biodegradable wastewater into biodegradable wastewater. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) assays showed that hydroxyl radicals and holes have the main role in the degradation process. Therefore, the proposed photocatalysts can be considered suitable, cost-effective, and reusable for the treatment of hospital wastewater.

本研究介绍了一种合成可磁性分离的 γ-Fe2O3@SiO2@ZIF8@Ag 光催化剂的操作技术。通过 XRD、EDX/SEM、傅立叶变换红外光谱、带隙和 VSM 等各种结构分析,确定了合成的纳米结构。然后,通过研究光催化剂剂量、溶液 pH 值、NOR 初始浓度和反应时间等各种参数的影响,考察了它们去除诺氟沙星(NOR)的能力。结果表明,在催化剂剂量为 0.4 克/升、反应时间为 45 分钟时,催化剂的性能最佳,紫外光下的效率为 100%,可见光下的效率为 96.2%。稳定性测试还表明,合成的光催化剂在五个循环后仍能保持其正常性能,效率仅降低了 4.5%。此外,对吸附过程和光催化过程进行的比较显示,吸附过程在 60 分钟后只能去除 42% 的 NOR,而光催化过程在可见光和紫外线的照射下,在相同的时间内能去除 100% 的 NOR。结果表明,降解动力学遵循一阶动力学模型。紫外线灯和可见光灯的反应速率常数分别为 0.082 和 0.056 min- 1,这表明紫外线灯的降解速率是可见光灯的 1.46 倍。此外,紫外线和可见光的半衰期分别为 8.4 分钟和 12.3 分钟。该过程的平均氧化态(AOS)和碳氧化态(COS)随着时间的推移而增加,表明 NOR 降解效果良好,可将不可生物降解的废水转化为可生物降解的废水。活性氧(ROS)检测表明,羟基自由基和空穴在降解过程中起主要作用。因此,可以认为所提出的光催化剂适用于医院废水的处理,具有成本效益并可重复使用。

Unveiling the Effect of Dilution on the Optical Response of Folic Acid Derived Carbon Dots: Role of Surface Interactions and Inner Filter Effect 揭示稀释对叶酸衍生碳点光学响应的影响:表面相互作用和内部过滤效应的作用

The optical properties of Carbon dot (CD) solution significantly change on dilution. Herein, the effect of dilution on the optical properties of folic acid-derived CD was meticulously analyzed using absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Absorption spectra of as-prepared CD solution consist of four overlapping yet discernable absorption bands centered at ~ 249, 302, 348, and 330 nm, respectively, attributed to originate from the π-π* transition and n-π* transitions and/or surface states. As the CD solution is diluted from 100 to 5%, these four absorption bands become more resolved. Moreover, we observed a blueshift of ~ 30 nm for the transitions at ~ 302 nm due to surface state with dilution up to 20% CD concentration. This is attributed to the decrease in the interaction between surface states due to the increase in the interparticle distance with dilution. PL emission from the as-prepared CD solution is centered at 463 nm and is asymmetric. This can be resolved into three components centered at 446 nm (intense), 474 nm (intense) and 508 nm (weak) respectively. With dilution, the PL intensity corresponding to the 463 nm emission seems to increase up to an optimum concentration of 15% CD and then decreases. The high concentration effectively quenches the luminescence through inner filter effect which is evident from the overlapping of absorption peak with the peak in the excitation spectrum together with no notable change in the average decay time. The decrease in the percentage of overlapping area of the absorption and excitation spectra with dilution causes the reduction of inner filter effect and enhances the luminescence for diluted solutions. Furthermore, we found that the surface states become more dominant in the contribution of luminescence of CD, whose influence diminishes in extremely diluted solutions, thereby the intensity decrease below 15% dilution.

碳点(CD)溶液的光学特性在稀释后会发生显著变化。在此,我们使用吸收光谱和光致发光(PL)光谱仔细分析了稀释对叶酸衍生 CD 光学特性的影响。新制备的 CD 溶液的吸收光谱由四条重叠但可辨认的吸收带组成,分别以 ~ 249、302、348 和 330 nm 为中心,这些吸收带来自 π-π* 转变和 n-π* 转变和/或表面态。当 CD 溶液从 100% 稀释到 5% 时,这四个吸收带变得更加清晰。此外,在稀释至 20% 的 CD 浓度时,我们观察到在 ~302 nm 处由于表面态引起的转变出现了 ~30 nm 的蓝移。这是因为随着稀释,粒子间距增加,表面态之间的相互作用减弱。从制备好的 CD 溶液中发出的 PL 发射以 463 纳米为中心,并且是不对称的。这可分为三个部分,分别以 446 纳米(强)、474 纳米(强)和 508 纳米(弱)为中心。随着稀释,与 463 nm 发射相对应的聚光强度似乎会增加,直到 15%的最佳 CD 浓度,然后会降低。高浓度通过内滤光片效应有效地淬灭了发光,这一点从吸收峰与激发光谱中的峰重叠以及平均衰减时间没有明显变化可以看出。稀释后,吸收光谱和激发光谱重叠面积的百分比会减少,从而降低内滤光效应,增强稀释溶液的发光能力。此外,我们还发现表面态在 CD 的发光贡献中变得更加主要,其影响在极度稀释的溶液中逐渐减弱,从而导致稀释度低于 15%时发光强度下降。

This review investigates the innovative biosynthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, emphasizing their production through eco-friendly approaches involving biomolecules, plant-derived phytoconstituents, polyphenols, bacteria, algae, and fungi. We highlight how biosynthesized MgO nanoparticles exhibit exceptional properties, including unique morphology, high surface area, controlled particle size, and effective stabilization. The review also explores recent advances in their application as nanocatalysts, particularly for environmental remediation tasks such as photocatalytic degradation of dyes and removal of heavy metal ions and pesticides from contaminated environments. By underscoring the significance of green synthesis techniques, this study illustrates their potential in advancing sustainable nanotechnology solutions. It provides a promising foundation for future research in addressing pressing environmental challenges.

Conventional physical and chemical synthesis methods for nanomaterials often involve hazardous chemicals, posing safety and environmental risks, and are frequently cost-ineffective. This review investigates the innovative biosynthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, emphasizing their production through eco-friendly approaches involving biomolecules, plant-derived phytoconstituents, polyphenols, bacteria, algae, and fungi. We highlight how biosynthesized MgO nanoparticles exhibit exceptional properties, including unique morphology, high surface area, controlled particle size, and effective stabilization. The review also explores recent advances in their application as nanocatalysts, particularly for environmental remediation tasks such as photocatalytic degradation of dyes and removal of heavy metal ions and pesticides from contaminated environments. By underscoring the significance of green synthesis techniques, this study illustrates their potential in advancing sustainable nanotechnology solutions. It provides a promising foundation for future research in addressing pressing environmental challenges.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cluster Science","volume":"35 8","pages":"2681 - 2703"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142579300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
