Eu-doped ZnO quantum dots: structure, vibration characteristics, optical properties, and energy transfer process.

This article studies the synthesis, as well as the structural, vibrational, and optical properties of Eu-doped ZnO quantum dots (QDs) and investigates the energy transfer mechanism from the ZnO host to Eu ions using Reisfeld's approximation. Eu-doped ZnO QDs at varying concentrations (0-7%) were successfully prepared using a wet chemical method. The successful doping of Eu ions into the ZnO host lattice, as well as the composition and valence states of the elements present in the sample, were confirmed through X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses.

Quality attributes, antioxidant activity and color profile of orange-fleshed sweet potato grown in Vietnam.

This study analyzed the nutritional composition, bioactive compounds, antioxidant activities and estimated potential renal acid load (PRAL) score of orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) grown in Vietnam. In addition, important functional groups of carotenoid compounds in OFSP were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR); carotenoid pigments were detected and quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that, OFSP had outstanding physicochemical characteristics, containing many nutrients, bioactive substances, minerals and fiber.

Chemically synthesized CdSe quantum dots induce apoptosis in AGS gastric cancer cells ROS generation.

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with size in the range of 3.5-5.8 nm and a zinc blende (ZB) crystal structure were synthesized by the wet chemical method.
