Zircon-Type CaCrO Chromite Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Application for Sunlight-Induced Degradation of Rhodamine B.

The degradation of organic dye pollutants is a critical environmental issue that has garnered significant attention in recent years. To address this problem, we investigated the potential of CaCrO chromite (CCO) as a photocatalyst for the degradation of cationic and anionic dye solutions under sunlight irradiation. CaCrO was synthesized via a sol-gel auto-combustion route and sintered at 900 °C.

Fabrication of Nanostructured Cadmium Selenide Thin Films for Optoelectronics Applications.

There is lot of research work at enhancing the performance of energy conversion and energy storage devices such as solar cells, supercapacitors, and batteries. In this regard, the low bandgap and a high absorption coefficient of CdSe thin films in the visible region, as well as, the low electrical resistivity make them ideal for the next generation of chalcogenide-based photovoltaic and electrochemical energy storage devices. Here, we present the properties of CdSe thin films synthesized at temperatures (below 100°C using readily available precursors) that are reproducible, efficient and economical.

Biogenic Synthesis of AgNPs with C.B. Clarke and Studies on Their Biochemical Properties.

Nanotechnology has become an irreplaceable need and green synthesis of nanoparticles offers several advantages over physical and chemical methods. Medicinal plants are the main reservoirs of drugs and drug candidates. We report the biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous root extract of Saussurea lappa.
