This site study was conducted in a chemical laboratory to evaluate nanomaterial emissions from 20–30-nm-diameter bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) during product development activities. Direct-reading instruments were used to monitor the tasks in real time, and airborne particles were collected using various methods to characterize r...

This study is devoted to creating media for the accumulation of electrical energy based on zirconia nanoparticles. The effect of charge accumulation by compacted zirconia nanoparticles, the manifestation of which depends on the size of the particles and the degree of hydration of their surface, was found. It is shown that for the system of hydrated...

At present, no effective treatment exists for the clinical toxicity of cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs, 30 nm) after metal-on-metal (MOM) artificial joint replacement. As such, a better understanding of the CoNPs-toxicity mechanism is necessary and urgent for the development of effective and safe detoxification drugs. Our purpose was to explore the rol...

While Cr(VI), a hazardous industrial waste, is an acute toxic, carcinogenic, and proven mutagenic pollutant, Cr(III) is thought to be an essential element for living things. In this study, Pd(0)@Al2O3 nanoclusters supported on Al2O3 were reproducibly prepared in aqueous solution at 25 °C by a simple impregnation-reduction method. The results showed...

Nanotechnology has the potential to improve the combat against life-threatening conditions. Considering the COVID-19 scenario, and future outbreaks, nanotechnology can play a pivotal role in several steps, ranging from disinfection protocols, manufacture of hospital clothes, to implementation of healthcare settings. Polymeric nanoparticles are coll...

In this work, we report on Vapor–Liquid-Solid growth of silicon wires (SiNWs) catalyzed by bismuth, a low-surface tension post-transition metal. The bismuth catalyst is synthesized by two different processes: in ex situ by annealing bismuth-coated substrates using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process under hydrogen gas, and in situ in a plasma-enh...

Geometries and properties of (GaP)n (n = 1–38) nanocages are systematically investigated at the B3PW91 level. Particularly, the inner spaces, HOMO–LUMO gaps, and charge-transfers of the stable (GaP)n are generally increased as the sizes of (GaP)n being extended. The (GaP)n geometries undergo a structural variation with the size of clusters being in...
