Effect of growth temperature on the structural, optical and luminescence properties of cadmium telluride nanoparticles
(Springer, 2018)
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) has been successfully prepared by a simple wet chemical process at different reaction temperatures. Temperature is one parameter that thermodynamically plays an important role in controlling the ...
Ion beam induced modification and nanostructures formation in thin SiC/Pd films on c-Si substrate
(Elsevier, 2021)
Ion beam induced modification of thin metallic films is an emerging approach to grow metallic nanoparticles controllably. Modification of thin solid films is helpful in fabricating arrays of nanoscale particles for electronic ...
The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of silver nanoparticles synthesised from cotyledon orbiculata aqueous extract
(MDPI, 2021)
Cotyledon orbiculata, commonly known as pig’s ear, is an important medicinal plant of South
Africa. It is used in traditional medicine to treat many ailments, including skin eruptions, abscesses,
inflammation, boils and ...
Synthesis of oxygen deficient tio2 for improved photocatalytic efficiency in solar radiation
(MDPI, 2021)
The photocatalytic activities of TiO2 have been limited mainly to absorbing in the ultraviolet
spectrum which accounts for only 5% of solar radiation. High energy band gap and electron
recombination in TiO2 nanoparticles ...
Insights into innovative therapeutics for drug-resistant tuberculosis: Host-directed therapy and autophagy inducing modified nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2022)
Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the deadliest communicable dis-
eases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) since its discovery in
the 1880s (Cambau and Drancourt, 2014; Singh et al., 2020). Over 1
billion mortalities ...
Radiosensitization effect of gold nanoparticles in proton therapy
(Frontiers Media, 2021)
The number of proton therapy facilities and the clinical usage of high energy proton beams for cancer treatment has substantially increased over the last decade. This is mainly due to the superior dose distribution of ...
The stability and anti-angiogenic properties of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (tio2nps) using caco-2 cells
(MDPI, 2022)
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are found in a wide range of products such
as sunscreen, paints, toothpaste and cosmetics due to their white pigment and high refractive
index. These wide-ranging applications ...
Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using bitter leave (Veronica amygdalina) for antibacterial activities
(ScienceDirect, 2019)
A green and facile biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) using dry Bitter leaves (DBL) (Vernonia amygdalina) aqueous extract as a capping and reducing agent was demonstrated in this work. The effect of the precursor's ...
Antibacterial and photodegradation of organic dyes using lamiaceae-mediated zno nanoparticles: A review
(MDPI, 2022)
The green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) using plant extracts has been
receiving tremendous attention as an alternative to conventional physical and chemical methods.
The Lamiaceae plant family is one ...
Palladium-gold nanoalloy surface modified limn2o4 cathode for enhanced li-ion battery
(Hindawi, 2015)
Au with Pd nanoparticles were synthesized and coated onto the spinel LiMn2O4 via a coprecipitation calcination method
with the objective to improve the microstructure, conductivity, and electrochemical activities of ...
