Aloe-inspired eco-friendly synthesis of Ag/ZnO heterostructures: boosting photocatalytic potential.

The current research focuses on the development of Ag-ZnO heterostructures through a "bottom-up" approach involving the assembly and extraction of Aloe barbadensis Miller gel. These heterostructures composed of metals/semiconductor oxide display distinct and notable optical, electrical, magnetic, and chemical properties that are not found in single constituents and also exhibit photocatalytic applications. These synthesized heterostructures were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, and UV-visible spectroscopy.

Crafting a powerful shield: Unveiling the potent anti-oxidant magic of ex-situ nanostructured Ag/WO composite.

The current study focuses the nanocomposites of Ag/WO was synthesized via hydrothermal method and extract of Aloe-vera gel was used. Various characterization techniques were used for the analysis of Ag/WO nanocomposites which includes SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDX (Energy dispersive spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), UV (ultraviolet-visible-spectroscopy) to tell about elemental composition, shape and crystalline structure, band gap, functional group. The presence of composition of elements O, W, Ag in Ag/WO nanocomposites was confirmed through EDX spectrum.

Effect of Mn Doped on Structural, Optical, and Dielectric Properties of BiFeMnO for Efficient Antioxidant Activity.

Manganese-doped bismuth ferrites were synthesized using the coprecipitation method with the green extract . Our incorporation of the transition element, manganese, into bismuth ferrites tackles the challenge of increased leakage current often observed in intrinsic bismuth ferrites. We gained key insights through a comprehensive examination of the structural, dielectric, and optical properties of these materials, utilizing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), impedance spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy, respectively.
