Wet methods for nanoparticle characterization need to use the surfactants to prevent the agglomeration of particles in hydrosols. In this work, we investigated the effect of pH on the agglomeration state and the stability of differently sized Fe2O3 nanoparticles, notably 35 and 120 nm in average, in amino acid solutions as glycine, l-lysine and l-g...

The electronic, optical and thermal properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), synthesised using an atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition technique, were tuned by ex situ codoping with boron and nitrogen (B/N) atoms at different temperatures (700–900 °C). High magnification TEM micrographs showed that the morphology of the as-gr...

Asphaltene precipitation is one of the most important problems of the petroleum industry. Asphaltene collapses during petroleum processing and extraction from the well, blocking the pipes and causing many problems. For this reason, asphaltene should be removed from heavy crude oils to improve the quality of oil and prevent asphaltene deposition. In...

Interaction of CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with epitaxially grown GaAs nanostructures has been studied using photoluminescence (PL) technique. Highly fluorescent CdSe QDs of size 3.9 nm were synthesized by colloidal method and coated over GaAs nanostructures grown on GaAs (111)B substrate by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) using self-assemble...

In this study, 1-butanol (C4H9OH) was used as a potential precursor for atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition grown graphene. While graphene were obtainable at moderate to high precursor flow rate, they were of double to multilayer as evident from Raman and ultra-violet visible spectroscopy. Here, a simple yet novel growth procedure was i...

To overcome the drawback caused by rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, a novel visible-light-driven Bi2WO6/r-GO/Bi25FeO40 Z-scheme photocatalyst was fabricated through the hydrothermal method. The as-prepared sample was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning e...

A bibliometric approach to assess publication performances and trends in fluorescent carbon nanoparticle research using literatures in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) has been carried out. In order to ensure that these documents were related to fluorescent carbon nanoparticles, the filter, paper “front page” criteria were applied...

Targeting bacterial infections using RNA interference (RNAi) has been a relatively nascent area of research as compared with cancer and viral infections. Exploring this area is especially vital due to the prevalence of numerous challenging bacterial infections that have been persistent despite treatment with antibiotics or antibiotic-loaded deliver...

Supercapacitor has recently received more and more extensive attention of researchers worldwide. V2O5 as an ideal electrode for supercapacitor has attracted great attention due to its mixed oxidation states, natural abundance, high capacitance, and great energy density. In this review, the effect of the morphology, structure, and composition of V2O...

Identifying nanoscience and nanotechnology (nano) publications in global databases is essential to profile and track research in this ever-changing field. Crafting an effective search query to retrieve as many nano-related publications as feasible, while excluding irrelevant publications, is challenging. This paper reports on a major update to a we...
