One-pot facile synthesis of hexagonal BiTe nanosheets and its novel nanocomposites: Characterization, anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities.

Bismuth Telluride (BiTe) layered structure results in extraordinary features in diagnostic and therapeutic applications. However, BiTe synthesis with reliable stability and biocompatibility in biological systems was the major challenge that limited its biological application. Herein, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) or graphitic carbon nitride (CN) nanosheets were incorporated into BiTe matrix to improve exfoliation.

Efficient removal of bovine serum albumin from water by cellulose acetate membranes modified with clay and titania nano particles.

Modified cellulose acetate membranes with bentonite clay (CA/bent) and TiO nanoparticles (CA/TiO) using the phase inversion method are successfully prepared and characterized. These Membranes are favored due to their high salt rejection properties and recyclability. The IR and EDX spectral data indicate the formation of modified membranes.
