A new precipitation method has been developed for improving the production of nanosilica that is faster and more environmentally friendly. The study investigates the effects of different acid types and concentrations, as well as aging times, to determi…
Quercetin is a natural bioflavonoid and is an inevitable part of a person’s daily diet. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, anti-microbial effects and is used for the treatment of several diseases like cancer, cardiovascular ailme…
An emerging study is an Ag/ZnO heterojunction photocatalyst for the decomposition prospect of azo dyes in wastewater under visible light. Herein, spherical nanoparticles of the Ag/ZnO of 20–50 nm are synthesised via a green chemical method from a rosin…
In the last few decades, the biosynthesis of nanoparticles using biological agents such as microorganisms or plant extracts has gained a lot of attention due to the growing need for generating safe and non-toxic substances, cost-effective techniques, e…
The rising levels of water contamination worldwide signal a significant need for new materials for its restoration in the coming years. This study provides a novel, simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly approach for the production of zin…
A critical step in the process for preventing and identifying emergencies relating to health, safety, and welfare is the testing and quick diagnosis of microbial pathogens. Due to the fast spread of waterborne and food borne infections in society and t…
Silicon carbide is a crucial structure material because of its wide applications in different fields, such as electronics. The impurities have negative impact on the homogenous sinterability of nano SiC during the sintering process, especially the sili…
Various techniques were employed to prepare a dual support system of CeZrO2 and H-ZSM-5 (80) including physically mixing, co-precipitation and sonochemical methods, which were followed by the deposition of bimetallic Pd and Pt via wet impregnation to o…
The role of interstitial atomic doping on transport properties of graphene was systematically studied using first-principles density functional theory (DFT). The study revealed that interstitial Au doping results in a p-type transfer of holes to graphe…
A series of TiO2:xEr powders (with x from 0% to 1% at.) was synthesised by a simple sol–gel process. The structural and optical properties were studied in detail using diffusion reflection spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, high-resol…
