Chitosan (CS) anchored copper oxide (CuO) hybrid material was prepared by chemical precipitation method. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the formation of CS-CuO hybrid. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed the immobilization of CuO nanoparticles on the surface of CS. The hybrid was also characterized by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and zeta potential. The hybrid exhibited high photocatalytic activity as evident from the degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The result revealed substantial degradation of the MB dye (84%) under UV-light illumination. The antibacterial activity of hybrid againstEscherichia coliwas examined by colony forming units. It was proved that the CS encapsulated CuO hybrid exhibited excellent antibacterial activity.

Abstract The main objective of this study was to synthesize hydroxyapatite-ciprofloxacin composites using a chemical precipitation method and to evaluate the properties and in vitro release profile of the drug from the hydroxyapatite-ciprofloxacin composites. Composite characterization was achieved by FT-IR, XRD and DLS. Ciprofloxacin determination was accomplished by HPLC, resulting in good incorporation efficiency of the drug (18.13 %). The in vitro release study (Higuchi model C = K t1/2 and Ritger-Peppas model, C = K t0.6) showed a diffusion-controlled mechanism. The antibacterial activity showed that the bacterial growth inhibition zones were approximately equal for the synthesis composites and for the mechanical mixture on the Staphylococcus aureus germ. The use of hydroxyapatite, which is a biocompatible, bioactive and osteoconductive material, with ciprofloxacin, which has good antibacterial activity in this composite, makes it suitable for the development of bone grafts. Furthermore, the synthesis process allows a slow local release of the drug.

The Impact

The impact of a CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite on the photocatalytic and antibacterial properties compared to bare ZnO was investigated. A CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite was synthesized using Acacia nilotica fruit extract as a novel fuel by a simple solution combustion method. The obtained CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite was confirmed structurally by XRD, FTIR, Raman and UV-DRS and morphologically by SEM/TEM analysis. The XRD pattern indicates the presence of both hexagonal Wurtzite-structured ZnO (major) and cubic-phase CeO2 (minor). FTIR shows the presence of a Ce-O-Ce vibration at 468 cm−1 and Zn-O vibration at 445 cm−1. The existence of a band at 460 cm−1 confirmed the F2g Raman-active mode of the fluorite cubic crystalline structure for CeO2. Diffused reflectance spectroscopy was used to estimate the bandgap (Eg) from Kubelka–Munk (K–M) theory which was found to be 3.4 eV. TEM analysis shows almost spherical-shaped particles, at a size of about 10–15 nm. The CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite shows a good BET specific surface area of 30 m2g−1. The surface defects and porosity of the CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite caused methylene blue (MB) dye to degrade under sunlight (88%) and UV light (92%). The CeO2-ZnO nanocomposite also exhibited considerable antibacterial activity against a pathogenic bacterial strain.

ABSTRACT The antibacterial activity of photocatalytic titanium dioxide (TiO2) substrates is induced primarily by UV light irradiation. Recently, nitrogen- and carbon-doped TiO2 substrates were shown to exhibit photocatalytic activities under visible-light illumination. Their antibacterial activity, however, remains to be quantified. In this study, we demonstrated that nitrogen-doped TiO2 substrates have superior visible-light-induced bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli compared to pure TiO2 and carbon-doped TiO2 substrates. We also found that protein- and light-absorbing contaminants partially reduce the bactericidal activity of nitrogen-doped TiO2 substrates due to their light-shielding effects. In the pathogen-killing experiment, a significantly higher proportion of all tested pathogens, including Shigella flexneri, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Acinetobacter baumannii, were killed by visible-light-illuminated nitrogen-doped TiO2 substrates than by pure TiO2 substrates. These findings suggest that nitrogen-doped TiO2 has potential application in the development of alternative disinfectants for environmental and medical usages.

Development photoinduced photocatalysts is a significant approach to improve photocatalytic activity and stability. Herein, we successfully prepared Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites by a facile method. It is found that the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 composites show significant enhancement in photocatalytic activity for methyl orange (MO) degradation under visible and UV light irradiation. The degradation efficiency reaches up to 3.7 times higher than that of pure CeO2 under visible light irradiation. Moreover, the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples have almost no loss of photocatalytic activity after five recycles, indicating good photocatalytic stability of the samples. The attractive photocatalytic activity of the Zn[Formula: see text]Cd[Formula: see text]S/CeO2 samples could be attributed to the robust charge carriers transfer and separation.

We report the in situ synthesis of polyaniline/copper oxide (PANI/CuO) nanocomposites and their characterization as electrocatalyst for non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose detection. Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles were prepared by wet chemical precipitation method followed by thermal treatment while the composites of PANI and CuO were synthesized by in situ chemical polymerization of aniline with definite amount of CuO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results revealed that the composites are predominantly amorphous. The composite formation was confirmed by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and UV-Vis spectroscopy analysis. The surface morphology was greatly altered with the amount of CuO in composite structure. PANI/CuO nanocomposites were coated on copper substrate to investigate their electrocatalytic activity for glucose sensing. PANI/CuO with 10 wt. % CuO exhibited good response towards electrochemical glucose oxidation.

In this work, a simple and viable method of green synthesis of multi-walled cobalt doped arginine carbon nanotubes (CNT’s) by chemical precipitation method using arginine amino acid is reported. The atomic force microscopy confirmed that metal ions present in a branched fashion on the surface of Co-doped arginine CNT’s and the obtained particle with diameter 20 nm well dispersed on the carbon nanotubes. The TEM analysis indicates the interlayer separation between the two adjacent carbon walls is estimated to be about 0.34 nm. The electron diffraction patterns indicate that the tube has nearly identical chirality for all of the concentric graphitic layers, as a zigzag-type MWCNT. The SEM analysis predicted tube like morphology and strain is existed on the surface of the CNTs. The Raman spectra confirmed the armchair (n = 8 to 11) multi-walled nanotubes with this chirality are assigned as a semiconducting type of nanotubes. The thermal property was studied by thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis and predicted the 27.81 % purity in CNTs.

Abstract In the present report, synthesis of pure, Nd-doped (1 wt.%) and Nd/Sm (1 wt.%) co-doped Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanoparticles (NPs) by using simple co-precipitation method. PXRD pattern of all the synthesized samples exposes the hexagonal crystal structure of ZnO NPs without any impurity. The various functional groups presented in the synthesized samples were analyzed by FT-IR studies. From UV-Vis DRS spectra, the band gap was found to be 2.81 eV, 2.90 and 3.10 eV respectively for pure, Nd-doped and Nd-Sm co-doped ZnO NPs. PL spectrum displays the broad emission at 393and 450 nm for all the synthesized samples. The agglomeration of flower-like morphology of pure ZnO NPs, flake-like structure of Nd-doped and rod-like morphology of Nd/Sm co-doped ZnO NPs were examined by SEM. Photocatalytic activity of the prepared samples for dye degradation of Acid Orange 7 (AO-7) and Acid Red 13 (AR-13) was studied under UV light. The result revealed that, the Nd/Sm co-doped ZnO NPs found to have efficient degradation candidate materials.
