Understanding the effective breakdown of PAH s in water through the use of g-CN-Ag-Cu-Ni nanocomposites.

The research work aimed to explore the suitability of using a novel g- CN-Ag-Cu-Ni nanocomposite for the simultaneous degradation of pyrene in wastewater. The outcome revealed that the g- CN phase was successfully fabricated on the g-CN-based compound, and the existence of the g- CN-based compound beneficially stabilized the Ag-Cu-Ni particles. The g- CN-Ag-Cu-Ni nanocomposite demonstrated excellent performance in pyrene degradation under various conditions.

Enhanced photocatalytic efficiencies in a bifunctional ZnO/PVA nanocomposites derived from Capparis zeylanica L.

The modern food sector demands versatile nanocomposites of polymers for food to wrappers to inactivate germs linked to foods in order to ensure quality throughout the packaging process. Recently, it has become quite appealing to use zinc oxide nanocomposite with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) assistance for food storage containers. Variable combinations of zinc acetate and Capparis zeylanica leaf extract (3:1, 1:7, 1:3, and 1:1) were used to create nanostructured ZnO at the desired pH (10.

Ultra-fast photocatalytic degradation and seed germination of band gap tunable nickel doping ceria nanoparticles.

Doping transition metal ions into cerium oxide (CeO) results in interesting modifications to the material, including an increase in surface area, a high isoelectric point, biocompatibility, greater ionic conductivity, and catalytic activity. Herein, various concentrations (1-5%, 10% and 20%) of nickel (Ni) doped CeO nanoparticle have been made by a facile chemical process. Using a variety of cutting-edge analytical techniques, the structural, optical, and photocatalytic properties of undoped and varied concentrations (1-5%, 10%, and 20%) of Ni doped CeO nanoparticles have been investigated.

UPLC‒ESI‒MS/MS profiling of active polyphenolics in Morinda coreia leaf extract and in vitro antioxidant and antibacterial activity.

In this study, aqueous and methanol extracts of Morinda coreia (MC) leaves were tested for antioxidant and antibacterial activity under in vitro conditions. Phytochemical analysis using UPLC-ESI-MS revealed the presence of phenolics, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, amino acids, proteins, saponins, and tannins. Under in vitro conditions, antioxidant test using DPPH, ABTS, and reducing power demonstrated that the plant leaves play a crucial role in antioxidant activity compared to the commercial antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT).

Quercetin extraction from small onion skin (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum Don.) and its antioxidant activity.

In the present study, the maximum yield of quercetin was optimized for the ethanol extraction of small onions (Allium cepa L. var. aggregatum Don.

Synergistic role of metal oxide loading cocatalysts on photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and inactive bacteria over template-free ZnFeO nanocubes.

For wastewater treatment, a highly reliable and ecologically friendly oxidation method is always preferred. This work described the production of a new extremely effective visible light-driven AgO loaded ZnFeO nanocomposties photocatalyst using a wet impregnation technique. Under visible light irradiation, the produced AgO loaded ZnFeO nanocomposties were used in the photodegradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and Reactive Red 120 (RR120) dyes.

Construction of SnO/CuO/rGO nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and antibacterial applications.

Water contamination by reactive dyes is a serious concern for human health and the environment. In this study, we prepared high efficient SnO/CuO/rGO nanocomposites for reactive dye degradation. For structural analysis of SnO/CuO/rGO nanocomposites, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, SEM, TEM-EDAX, and XPS analysis were used to characterize the physicochemical properties of the material.
