Abstract Wide bandgap Zinc Sulfide nanocrystals are prepared by a simple co-precipitation method at different precursor concentrations. The influence of sulphur concentration in Zinc sulfide on morphological, optical and electric properties is found to be significant. The Zinc Sulfide nanomaterial was prepared using low-cost starting materials and deionised water as the solvent. As synthesized Zinc Sulfide nanocrystals were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis, UV-Visible Spectrophotometry, Photoluminescence (PL), Scanning electron Microscopy (SEM), Ellipsometry techniques and electric conductivity measurements. XRD patterns revealed that ZnS nanocrystals are polycrystalline, cubic phase with (111) preferred orientation. The obtained crystallites have sizes in the range of 5 to 11 nm. EDS pattern confirms the purity of the films. From optical absorption measurements, it is clear that the direct energy gap decreases from 5.2 to 4.4eV with the increase in sulphur concentration in ZnS and exhibit large quantum confinement effect. Ellipsometry was used to determine the optical constants and film thickness. The films deposited on ITO – coated glass was used to record the IV Characteristics of the films by two probe method. The wide-bandgap, conducting materials have applications in optoelectronic devices such as high-frequency UV detectors and thin-film solar cells.

Abstract Textile wastewater is known to have a large number of hazardous pollutants, intense color and high chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration. The electron beam method is considered useful in treatment textile wastewater through chemical oxidation process. In this study, three real textile wastewaters (Sample 1: Reactive Black 5, Reactive Red 10, and Reactive Orange 13; Sample 2: Reactive Red 10 and Yellow GR; Sample 3: Reactive Black 5 and Turquoise Blue HF–G) from textile dyeing company in Ho Chi Minh city were treated by electron beam method. The effect of absorbed doses and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at different concentrations on the change of pH, removal capacity, COD and five day’s biological oxygen demand (BOD5) were investigated. The results indicated that color, COD, BOD5 and pH decreased with increasing absorbed dose. A sufficient amount of H2O2 in the radiation process could accelerate the color removal process. In the same condition, a color removal efficiency of ~90% was obtained with EB/H2O2, in contrast with color loss by using EB alone (~71%). These results highlighted the potential of EB radiation technology for treatment of textile dyeing wastewater.

Abstract Density of states and geometrical structures of modified Lead zirconate titanate are investigated using density functional theory within local density approximation. The electronic properties and bond length variation have been studied in terms of electronic structure and bonding mechanism principles respectively. Hybridization between Ti 3d - O 2p states and ferroelectric distortion have been addressed as a theoretical approach, to rule the improvement of ferroelectric properties of Lead zirconate titanate. The analysis of Ga, Tl modified Lead zirconate titanate were found to diminish the hybridization between Ti 3d - O 2p states, the relaxed behavior lead to the reversal of the known ferroelectric distortion. Y, Ho, Yb and Lu modified Lead zirconate titanate compounds have a tendency to intense the ferroelectric stability, its exhibit higher hybridization between Ti 3d - O 2p states than pure Lead zirconate titanate, also the arrangement of the ions distortions is strongly the same as the more favoured ferroelectric states of Lead zirconate titanate.
摘要利用局部密度近似下的密度泛函理论研究了改性锆钛酸铅的态密度和几何结构。分别从电子结构和成键机理的角度研究了其电子性质和键长变化。本文从理论上研究了钛酸锆铅的三维o2p杂化和铁电畸变，以指导钛酸锆铅铁电性能的改善。分析发现，Ga、Tl修饰的锆钛酸铅减少了Ti 3d - o2p态之间的杂化，弛豫行为导致已知铁电畸变的逆转。Y、Ho、Yb和Lu改性的锆钛酸铅化合物具有增强铁电稳定性的趋势，与纯锆钛酸铅相比，其表现出更高的Ti 3d - o2p杂化态，且离子畸变排列与锆钛酸铅更有利的铁电态相同。

Abstract Extensive use of chemicals in personal care products has led to many health issues. Diethanolamine is one of such harmful chemicals containing two highly functional groups alcohol and amine that requires toxicological evaluation and its mitigation. Swiss strain albino mice were used and divided into different control and treated groups. Different doses of DEA (110, 165 and 330 mg/kg body weight/day) were orally administered for 30 days. Biochemical and histopathological assessments were performed at the end of the treatment. Results collectively revealed body weight loss as well as significant increase in absolute and relative liver weight in DEA-treated groups. Biochemical analysis revealed that DEA treatment further promotes significant (P<0.05), dose-dependent increase in lipid and cholesterol contents and also cause decrease in protein and glycogen content. Histopathological assessment confirms vacuole formation due to accumulation of lipid within the liver tissue. Administration of curcumin (10, 20 and 30 mg/kg body weight/day) along with high dose of DEA (330 mg/kg body weight/day) showed improved values of lipid, cholesterol, protein and glycogen contents. It also helped retaining normal histological structure of liver. Observations in all groups and results indicate DEA-treatment causes hepatic steatosis and treatment of curcumin attenuated effect of DEA that is due to its potential antioxidant properties.

Abstract In this study, dissolution kinetics of manganese and zinc from spent zinc–carbon batteries in acetic acid solution was investigated. To determine the kinetics of dissolution of manganese and zinc, shrinking core model was applied to dissolution recoveries obtained at different temperatures. As a result of kinetic studies, it was determined that manganese and zinc were dissolved in acetic acid solution by diffusion from product layer and then activation energies (Ea) were calculated.

Abstract It is well known fact that several physicochemical properties of chemical compounds are closely related to their molecular structure. Mathematical chemistry provides a method to predict the aforementioned properties of compounds using topological indices. The Zagreb indices are among the most studied topological indices. Recently, three modified versions of the Zagreb indices were proposed independently in [Ali, A.; Trinajstić, N. A novel/old modification of the first Zagreb index, arXiv:1705.10430 [math.CO] 2017; Mol. Inform. 2018, 37, 1800008] and [Naji, A. M.; Soner, N. D.; Gutman, I. On leap Zagreb indices of graphs, Commun. Comb. Optim. 2017, 2, 99–117], which were named as the Zagreb connection indices and the leap Zagreb indices, respectively. In this paper, we check the chemical applicability of the newly considered Zagreb connection indices on the set of octane isomers and establish general expressions for calculating these indices of two well-known dendrimer nanostars.

Abstract A multifunctional nanoparticle, Super Paramagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle-Carbon Dots (SPION-CDs), for fluorescence and magnetic resonance imaging is introduced. This nanoparticle possesses the magnetic properties of super-paramagnetic iron oxide (SPION) core as well as the fluorescence characteristics of carbon dots (CDs) coated in mesoporous structure. The SPION-CDs were synthesized using a high temperature facile single-pot hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/vis absorption, vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The cytotoxic effect of SPION-CDs on OVCAR-3 cells was also evaluated. The synthesized nanoparticle possesses optimal size, low toxicity and excellent magnetic properties, including super-paramagnetic behavior (Ms = 42 emu g−1). Moreover, in the viewpoint of optical properties, the quantum yield of ~2.4% was obtained and the nanoparticle shows good fluorescence stability for cell-labeling studies. This multifunctional nanoparticle with appropriate characterization is a promising candidate for multimodal fluorescence/magnetic resonance imaging platform.
