Abstract Gold nanoparticles are frequently employed in a range of biological applications because of its versatility in biosynthetic pathways and complexation, good biocompatibility and ease of detection. This study discusses the application of green chemistry in the production of gold nanoparticles using fenugreek and honey. It discusses nanoparticle characterisation in order to investigate structural, morphological, and optical characteristics. The mean crystalline size of fenugreek-mediated gold nanoparticles is 12.035nm nm, while honey-mediated gold nanoparticles are almost 42.2225 nm, according to XRD analysis. The absorption and fluorescence spectra correlated well with particle size variance in that the absorption and fluorescence peak positions were observed to move as particle size increased. The spherical shape of the particles was shown by SEM and TEM analysis, and the particle size was confirmed by XRD. EDAX analysis demonstrated the sample’s purity. On the surface of the sample, the presence of a functional group with distinctive peaks of gold NPs is shown by FT-IR and FT-Raman analysis, indicating a high potential for hyperthermia treatment, biomarkers, and cancer diagnostics.

This study aims to synthesize and characterize Fe3O4@SiO2 sub-nanoparticles (SNPs) with high saturation magnetization (SM). The research process was conducted in simple and environmentally friendly conditions. The results of ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis presented that the Fe3O4@SiO2 SNPs were well formed and the phase change of Fe3O4 NPs did not happen in Fe3O4@SiO2 SNPs. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis showed that the Fe3O4@SiO2 SNPs are in a fairly spherical shape with a core/shell structure and a diameter in a range of 100 nm to 500 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) spectra of Fe3O4@SiO2 SNPs presented some absorption peaks indicating the existence of Si-O-Si, O-Si-O, Fe-O and Fe-O-Si. The SM of Fe3O4 particles and Fe3O4@SiO2 SNPs determined via vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were 50.9 emu.g−1 and 19.5 emu.g−1, respectively. All the above results provide clear evidence that the Fe3O4 particles were coated by SiO2 to form sub-nano core/shell with great SM.

Abstract This study describes a simple, high-yield, rapid, and inexpensive route for the synthesis of cubic shape-like cerium oxide nanocubes (CeO2 NCs) using different urea concentrations (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g) by the hydrothermal method. The synthesized nanocubes (NCs) are labeled as CeO2 NCs-0.5, CeO2 NCs-1.0, and CeO2 NCs-2.0, corresponding to 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g of urea, respectively. The synthesized NCs were characterized by FT-IR, UV-visible, XRD, XPS, SEM and HR-TEM analysis. The synthesized NCs were cubic in shape with average sizes of 12, 12, and 13 nm for the CeO2 NCs-0.5, CeO2 NCs-1.0, and CeO2 NCs-2.0, respectively, obtained by the XRD analysis. The catalytic activity of the CeO2 NCs was studied for the purpose of obtaining the reduction of malachite green (MG) in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) at room temperature.

In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), biosynthesized using culture supernatant of bacterial strain Paenarthrobacter nicotinovorans MAHUQ-43, were characterized and their antimicrobial activity was investigated against both Gram-positive Bacillus cereus and Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial-mediated synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, field emission-transmission electron microscopy (FE-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis. The UV-Vis spectral analysis showed the absorption maxima at 466 nm which assured the synthesis of AgNPs. The FE-TEM analysis revealed the spherical shape of nanoparticles with the size range from 13 to 27 nm. The EDX and XRD analysis ensured the crystalline nature of biosynthesized AgNPs. The FTIR analysis revealed the involvement of different biomolecules for the synthesis of AgNPs as reducing and capping agents. The bacterial-mediated synthesized AgNPs inhibited the growth of pathogenic strains B. cereus and P. aeruginosa and developed a clear zone of inhibition (ZOI). The MIC and MBC for both pathogens were 12.5 µg/mL and 25 µg/mL, respectively. Moreover, field emission scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the synthesized AgNPs can destroy the outer membrane and alter the cell morphology of treated pathogens, leading to the death of cells. This study concludes the eco-friendly, facile and rapid synthesis of AgNPs using P. nicotinovorans MAHUQ-43 and synthesized AgNPs showed excellent antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens.

Oligochitosans (OCT) were prepared from chitosan (CTS) by gamma irradiationtechnique. The parameters affecting to the chitosan degradation were studied. And then, OCT nanoparticles wereformed using the method of tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linking. Effect of concentration and molecular weight of OCT, concentration of TPP on particle size of the formed OCT nanoparticles were also studied. The formation of OCT nanoparticles was verified by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the morphology was observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the characteristics (particle size and zeta potential) of OCT nanoparticles were also studied. The effect of OCT nanoparticles on strawberry presevation was carried out using the coating method. Results showed that an increase in radiation dose resulted in a decrease of chitosan molecular weight. The OCT with molecular weight of approximately 7.7 kDa was obtained by the synergistic effect of hydrogen peroxide (5 %, v/v) and gamma ray at dose of 30 kGy. The smaller OCT nanoparticles was obtained with a lower molecular weight of OCT. The results of FTIR, DSC indicated the success in the formation of OCT nanoparticles with the particle size approximately 129.9 nm, with the spherical shape.

Silt obtained from fractionated Bijoypur soil based on particle size (53~140?m) was characterized by SEM (Scanning electron microscopy), LIBS (Laser induced breakdown spectroscopy), XRD (X-Ray diffraction) and FT-IR (Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy). pHzpc (Zero point charge pH) of silt was also determined by titrimetric method. The scanning electron micrograph of silt was taken in two different magnifications. Micrographs show that the surface of silt is slightly homogenic in nature and the particle size varied between 50 and 100 ?m. Elemental analysis of silt was performed by LIBS. According to this Fe, Si, Ti, Cu, Zn and Na are present in silt. XRD analysis indicates that silt fraction of Bijoypur soil is closely similar to kaolinite but it contains significant proportion of quartz. FT-IR analysis shows the presence of Zn=O, OH, Al-O-Si, Fe-O, Al-OH and Si-O bonds. The pHzpc value of silt was obtained as 6.39 ± 0.02 indicating neutrality of the surface. J. Asiat. Soc.

The design and environmentally-safe synthesis of magnetically recoverable solid-supported metal nanoparticles with remarkable stability and catalytic performance has significant industrial importance. In the present study, we have developed an inexpensive bioinspired approach for assembling gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in magnetic chitosan network under green, mild and scalable condition. AuNPs were well loaded on the surface of the magnetic support due to the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) and amino (-NH2) groups in chitosan molecules that provided the driving force for the complexation reaction with the Au(III) ions. Reduction of the Au(III) to Au(0) is achieved by using Melicope ptelefolia aqueous leaf extract. The synthesized magnetic chitosan supported biosynthesized Au nanocatalyst was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Carbon, Hydrogen and Nitrogen (CHN), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) analyses. FTIR spectrum of magnetic chitosan shows peaks at 1570 cm-1 indicative of N-H bending vibration and at 577 cm-1 which designates the Fe-O bond. CHN analytical data further supported the coating of chitosan onto the magnetite. TEM analysis shows an amorphous layer around the magnetite core which supported the coating of chitosan on the magnetite surface and the average particle size of AuNPs calculated was 7.34 ± 2.19 nm. XRD analysis shows six characteristics peaks for magnetite corresponding to lattice planes (220), (311), (400), (422), (511) and (440) in both the magnetite and magnetic chitosan samples (JCPDS file, PDF No. 65-3107). Meanwhile, XRD analysis of catalyst shows characteristic peaks of AuNPs at 2q (38.21°, 44.38°, 62.2°, 77.32° and 80.76°) are corresponding to (111), (200), (220), (311) and (222) lattice plane (JCPDS file, PDF No.04-0784). AAS analysis shows the loading of AuNPs as 5.4%. The rate constant achieved for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol in the presence of hydrazine hydrate using 10 mg of catalyst is 0.0046 s-1. The magnetic chitosan supported AuNPs is effective as catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.
