Considering that basic bismuth nitrate Bi6O5(OH)3(NO3)5·3H2O (BBN) with a wide band gap energy (Eg = ~ 3.40 eV) could only respond to UV light, herein, BiOI-coupled BBN (BBN/BiOI) heterojunction at the size of several microns was synthesized by a grinding-assistant ion-exchange strategy. BiOI nanoparticles with relatively uniform diameters in the r...

This study aimed to extend the application of plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process to the production of immobilized composite photocatalysts with sensitizing nanoparticles (NPs) on the metallic substrate. For this purpose, the immobilized Fe2O3/TiO2 layers with different amounts of sonochemically synthesized Fe2O3 NPs were prepared on the ti...

We use molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the material properties of cubic zinc blende Si0.5Ge0.5 alloy nanowire (NW). We elucidate the effect of nanowire size, crystal orientations, and temperature on the material properties. We found that the reduction in the NW cross-sectional area results in lower ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and ...

This study reports the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using an unconventional, eco-friendly method that utilizes cinnamon bark extract as a reducing agent and stabilizer. The synthesized AuNPs were characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). UV–Vis spectrum shows the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) p...

The synthesis of nanorods and nanowires of early transition metal oxides by hydrothermal methods and the conversion of some bulk oxides to nitrides in NH3 flow are both well established. However, the conversion of such oxide nanostructures to nitrides is not as well explored but could be a valuable method of producing nanowires, nanorods, and other...

Nanostructured materials exhibit remarkable properties significantly different from their bulk counterparts. Metal alloys at the nanoscale show an impressive potential to produce new systems having well-designed functionalities. By using a nanothermodynamic approach, here, we present the effects of the size and shape of the nanoparticles (NPs) on t...

Carvacrol is a phenolic monoterpenoid obtained from the genera of Origanum, Thymus, Satureja, and Lippia. It is a hydrophobic phytoconstituent that readily tends to decay while processing leading to restricting its potential application. In the current study, zein/rhamnolipid (ZRL of 306 nm) complex nanoparticles were loaded with carvacrol successf...

We have prepared genuinely hollow Au nanourchins (HANUs) using SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) as hard templates. Ag-SiO2 NPs were fabricated via amine-assisted reduction. Then, Au nanourchins (ANUs) were synthesized by the galvanic replacement reaction of Ag-SiO2 NPs using l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) as a reductant and a capping agent. The silica...
