Abstract In this study, a simple environmental benign approach have been adopted for the preparation of highly luminescent (blue emitting) water soluble carbon nano-dots using Pongammia pinnata (Pp) leaves via hydrothermal technique. The prepared Pp-carbon nano- dots were characterized using UV-vis spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The Pp-carbon nano-dots are spherical in shape with an average size of 32 nm.

In present study, the synthesis and characterization of a novel polypyrrole (PPy)/tin oxide (SnO2)/MWCNT nanocomposite along with pristine polypyrrole is reported. These materials have been studied for their structural and morphological properties by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. PPy/SnO2/MWCNT nanocomposite has been converted into a pellet-shaped sensor, and its ammonia sensing studies were carried out by calculating the variation in the DC electrical conductivity at different concentration of ammonia ranging from 10 to 1500 ppm. The sensing response of the sensor was determined at 1500, 1000, 500, 200, 100 and 10 ppm and found to be 70.4, 66.1, 62.2, 55.4, 50.8 and 39.7%, respectively The sensor showed a complete reversibility at lower concentrations along with excellent selectivity and stability. Finally, a sensing mechanism was also proposed involving polarons (charge carriers) of polypyrrole and lone pairs of ammonia molecules

Herein, the synthesis and characterization of a novel polypyrrole (PPy)/zinc oxide (ZnO)/SWCNT nanocomposite together with pristine polypyrrole is reported. These as-prepared materials have been characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques. The PPy/ ZnO/SWCNT nanocomposite is used as a pellet-shaped ammonia sensor. The sensing response is calculated in terms of variation in the DC electrical conductivity at different concentration of ammonia ranging from 50 ppm to 2000 ppm. The sensing response of the sensor is determined at 2000, 1000, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100 and 50 ppm and found to be 76.3, 60.5, 54.8, 52.6, 50.2, 48.5, 40.5 and 36.6%, respectively The sensor displays excellent reversibility along with very high selectivity and stability. Finally, a sensing mechanism is also proposed involving polarons (charge carriers) of polypyrrole and lone pairs of electrons of ammonia molecules.

AbstractManganese oxyhydroxide (MnOOH) nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of [Mn(Hsal)2] complex and NaOH in the presence of ultrasound irradiation. In this study, the effect of different reaction parameters such as type of solvent, sonication time and type of surfactant on the morphology and the particle size of product were studied. The as-synthesized nanoparticles, with an average size of 10–15 nm, were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). To the best of author’s knowledge, it is the first time that [Mn(Hsal)2] complex is used as manganese source for the synthesis of MnOOH nanoparticles.

Water-soluble gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5- thiazoleacetic acid (MMTA) as a stabilizing agent and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The AuNPs product was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The TEM image shows that the particles were well-dispersed and their average particle size is about 5 nm. The UV-vis absorption and FTIR spectra confirm that the MMTA-AuNPs was stabilized by the carboxylate ions present on the surface of the AuNPs.

The presence of crystallites in urine is closely related to stones formation. In this article, the components, morphology of nano- and micro-crystallites in urines of 20 uric acid (UA) stone formers as well as their relationship with the formation of UAstones were comparatively studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The main constituent of urinary crystallites was uric acid. Their particle size distribution was highly uneven, ranging from several nanometers to several tens of micrometers, and obvious aggregation was observed. These results showed that there was close relationship among stone components, urinary crystallites composition and urine pH.
