Z-scheme NiO/g-CN nanocomposites prepared using phyto-mediated nickel nanoparticles for the efficient photocatalytic degradation.

Highly-effective photocatalyst of NiO/g-CN with was successfully synthesized by using phyto-mediated-synthesized nickel nanoparticles. The preparation was initiated by synthesizing nickel nanoparticles by using stem extract under ultrasound-assisted method followed by the dispersing onto g-CN structure. The study focused on physicochemical characterization and photocatalytic activity as function of the percentage of Ni in the nanocomposite.

Green Synthesis of Antibacterial Nanocomposite of Silver Nanoparticle-Doped Hydroxyapatite Utilizing Leaf Extract and Land Snail () Shell Waste.

Preparation of green synthesized silver nanoparticle (AgNPs)-doped hydroxyapatite (Ag/HA) utilizing leaf extract and land snail () shell waste was performed. Physicochemical characteristics and antibacterial activity of Ag/HA composite as a function of Ag content was studied. Instrumental analysis such as XRD, SEM-EDX, TEM, and XPS were employed to characterize the nanocomposites.

Influencing Factors in the Synthesis of Photoactive Nanocomposites of ZnO/SiO-Porous Heterostructures from Montmorillonite and the Study for Methyl Violet Photodegradation.

A molten salt-based nitridation approach for synthesizing nanostructured InN electrode materials.

Single-phase InN nanocrystals were synthesized for the first time by a molten salt-based nitridation approach using InCl and LiNH as indium and nitrogen sources, respectively. A molten salt, KCl-LiCl, during nitridation, enabled us to obtain InN nanocrystals at relatively low temperatures ranging from 400 °C to 500 °C. SEM and HR-TEM measurements coupled with XRD data revealed that InN nanocrystals were formed with average grain sizes of approximately 50-60 nm.
