A facile preparation of ZnO/Au nano-needles: Optical, morphological and structural properties

Green synthesis of biocompatible core–shell (Au–Ag) and hybrid (Au–ZnO and Ag–ZnO) bimetallic nanoparticles and evaluation of their potential antibacterial, antidiabetic, antiglycation and anticancer activities

“…50,51 Our Au–ZnO BNPs resembles with the hybrid gold-doped ZnO nano-needles which were formed from Pennisetum purpureum leaf extract. 52 TEM images of Au–Ag BNPs suggest spherical shaped core–shell type of these NPs (Fig. 3C and D).…”

Gold-Crowned Bismuth-Based Nanocomposites for Sonodynamic, Photothermal, and Chemotherapeutic Cancer Therapy

“…XRD patterns of BACNs and Bi NPs are shown in Figures g and S3b. The characteristic diffraction peaks of 27.1°, 37.8°, 48.8°, 55.8°, 62.1°, 64.5°, and 70.6° are shown on the (012), (104), (110), (202), (024), (211), (122), and (300) crystal planes of Bi, respectively. , The characteristic diffraction peaks at 37.9°, 44.3°, and 64.0° were indexed to the (104), (200), and (122) planes of Au, respectively. , No C peaks were observed due to its amorphous nature.…”

“…21,22 The characteristic diffraction peaks at 37.9°, 44.3°, and 64.0°were indexed to the (104), (200), and (122) planes of Au, respectively. 23,24 No C peaks were observed due to its amorphous nature. The chemical states of Bi, Au, and the O in the BACNs were analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).…”

Sonochemical Synthesis, Characterization, and Photocatalytic Performance Evaluation of Au/ZnO Nanocomposite for Methyl Orange Degradation

“…Au/ZnO has been fabricated by various conventional methods, such as co-precipitation (Y. Li, Chen, & Zhao, 2018), co-sputtering (Pal et al, 2001), ion sputtering (Dai, Ding, Chen, & Fu, 2023), microwave irradiation (M. Lee et al, 2023;Mishra & Satpati, 2022), hydrothermal (Dai et al, 2023), one-pot coordinationcalcination (Lin et al, 2022), ion implantation (Macková et al, 2022), and green method (Syahjoko Saputra et al, 2021). The sonochemical method is a simple, fast, nontoxic, and environment-friendly synthesis technique (C. Li et al, 2023), where acoustic cavitation is produced when ultrasonic waves pass through a liquid media (McKenzie, Karimi, Ashokkumar, & Qiao, 2019;Yang Teh, Yeong Wu, & Ching Juan, 2017).…”
