“…Nanomaterials are materials with dimensions of 1 nm-100 nm, and silver powders are available in shapes such as flakes [1], spheres [2], rings [3], triangles [4], and lines [5]. As a nano-powder material due to its unique electrical, optical, catalytic, thermodynamic, and antibacterial properties, nano-silver powder has been widely used in the direction of conductive pastes [6], solar cells [7], antibacterial materials [8], catalytic industry [9], and food encapsulation [10]. Among them, the high specific surface area of spherical AgNPs makes it easier to bind to microorganisms.…”

This study aimed to optimize the synthesis of silver nanoparticles mediated by Baicalin and sodium dodecyl sulfonate using Single factor experiment method and response surface methodology, to optimize their process parameters so as to prepare spherical silver nanoparticles with smaller particle size, and to compare the particle size of silver nanoparticles prepared under different conditions by comparing the wavelength of the maximum absorption peak measured by UV-visible spectrophotometer. Thus, the best synthesis program was determined. The average particle size of the silver nanoparticles prepared under the optimal conditions was 32.25 nm with high sphericity, and the silver nanoparticles synthesized under the optimized conditions were characterized by SEM, FTIR, particle size distribution and UV-vis.

“…Algabry et al investigated the influence of conductive polymer nanofibers with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for improving the performance of silicon solar cells (SSCs). 16 PANI and/or PANI/AgNPs were fabricated with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) using an electrospinning technique and deposited on the backside of SSCs. These nanofiber composites produced a homogeneous distribution on SSCs with an efficient conductivity path for the photoelectrons.…”

Copper oxide−zeolite (CuO−ZT) reinforced polyaniline (PANI) matrices were prepared by in situ oxidative polymerization and the samples were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, XRD, TGA, UV–visible spectrophotometry, SEM and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller theory; the optical bandgap was also evaluated. Moreover, the synthesis and exploration of electrodes are increasingly being considered for the development of conducting‐polymer‐based supercapacitors, which has attracted significant interest in energy conversion and storage technology. Here, hybrid materials used in the preparation of the electrode materials on the capacitive properties were investigated. It is found that the PANI@CuO exhibits a high specific capacitance of 311.5 F g−1 at 1.0 A g−1 current density between 0.0 and 1.0 V compared to PANI@CuO−ZT (222.7 F g−1). Further, the PANI@CuO presented an excellent cycling stability at 1.0 A g−1 (1500 cycles; 81.9%) in a two‐electrode system. Accordingly, producing a PANI matrix on CuO presented a simple and viable way to ameliorate the capacitive performance of the supercapacitor. Conversely, the adsorptive removal of malachite green and methyl violet dyes by PANI@CuO−ZT adsorbent could be described by the pseudo‐first‐order and Temkin models. The maximum adsorptive capacity of malachite green and methyl violet dyes was 249.7 and 198.2 mg g−1, respectively. © 2023 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

In this article, InP quantum dots (QDs) are synthesized with a green methodology. The preparation of the InP QDs is demonstrated by varying the ratios of the precursors used such as InCl3 and trioctylphosphine (TOP). These QDs are fabricated through the application of TOP (as phosphorous source and reducing agent for the In salt) for forming indium and to develop the targeted InP QDs, which are characterized using HRTEM, XRD, PL, FTIR, UV–Vis, and time resolved spectroscopy. A rapid reaction time (~ 30 min) procedure in a single pot at a temperature of ~ 310 °C is developed. InP QDs with particle sizes varying from 4 to 6 nm have been measured with different concentrations of InCl3 and TOP. InP QDs yield reached 23%. Zincblende crystal structure is recognized for InP with high orientation plane of (220) as confirmed with XRD and confirmed with SAED. Solar cell devices are built by anchoring the InP QDs onto a TiO2 layer and measure the photovoltaic performance and spectral response of the device built on FTO/glass substrate. TiO2/InP QDs solar cell devices are fabricated with high fill factor of 0.86 and open circuit voltage value of 501 mV and overall efficiency of 0.48%.
