“…When these organic dyes are discharged into water resources, they can be very harmful. [22][23][24][25] Malachite Green (MG), a watersoluble cationic dye used as an antifungal, antimicrobial and a topical antiseptic in aquaculture since 1930, 26,27 has a structure similar to carcinogenic triphenylmethane dyes. Besides, the effluent containing Cr(VI) ions, the inorganic heavy metal water pollutant, is very toxic and detrimental to the environment.…”

“…The yield of black rice is extremely low, hence commercially not viable. Our attempt was to secure the early seed germination and enhance the yield [18] [19]. The seeds were germinated on the wet filter paper impregnated with 250 micro liter of 100 ppm nano material prepared at different temperatures (275˚C, 350˚C, 425˚C and 500˚C).…”

Black rice Oryza sativa is primarily grown in East and North East of India.This variety could not become popular due to low yield and being expensive. It is rich in three kinds of Anthocyanin contents which exhibit great impact on human health. Four different kinds of ZnO nanomaterial were prepared at variable temperature ranging from 250˚C to 500˚C. The Interaction of black rice grain with nanozinc material leads to the observation that seeds germinated early. Rooting development was higher. Better effects were observed while those interacted with nanomaterial prepared at 350˚C. In the present study the aim was to enhance the yield and value addition. To best of our knowledge this is the first scientific attempt [see also patent filed Varma et al. 2019]. The mechanism involved needs further elaborate elucidation. We hope that the goal can also be achieved by interaction of seeds with mycosymbiont-Piriformospora indica (Serendipita indica) a potent cultivable mycorrhiza. The precise objective of this communication is to illustrate the interaction of black rice seed with several synthesized nano zinc material which varied in shape, size and diameter.

“…Polyaniline offers an extended p-conjugated electron system and remarkable properties viz. visible region absorption and generation of highly mobile charge carriers [11,12]. It has found extensive use in solar energy and photocatalytic activity owing to its reasonable cost, excellent environmental stability and facile synthesis methods [13,14].…”

In this work, the fabrication of MoS 2 -Polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposites, by in situ polymerization, has been described and its application as a photocatalyst for the degradation of organic pollutants such as methylene blue (MB) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP), has been reported. The disadvantages of MoS 2 such as poor electronic conductivity and agglomeration between the nanosheets, was overcome by intercalating 2D MoS 2 layers with 1D conducting polymer, Polyaniline (PANI). The composite material was characterised by SEM, TEM, BET, XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis spectroscopy and XPS, indicating proper intercalation between MoS 2 nanosheets and PANI. Consequently, the synthesized composites were used for the degradation of MB and 4-CP, followed by kinetic investigations to determine the rate kinetics. The photoactivity of the nanocomposite is explained by the transfer of photogenerated electrons from PANI to the CB of MoS 2 , thus preventing the direct recombination of electrons and holes. Hence, a positive synergistic effect between MoS 2 and PANI resulted in efficient photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes like MB.
