“…It can be clearly seen that the FTIR spectrum of C-dots has very strong peaks from -COOH groups at 1720 cm À1 [43]. Both TiO 2 and C-TiO 2 samples show the broad absorption bands below 1000 cm À1 , which are attributed to the combination of the Ti-O-Ti vibrations [44]. Moreover, the vibration band for C-TiO 2 shows a slight red-shift compared to that of TiO 2 , which is caused by the combination of C-dots and the vibration of Ti-O-C vibration [45].…”

“…Very weak peaks around 2920 and 2850 cm -1 can be attributed to the asymmetric and symmetric stretching vibrations of aliphatic groups (-CH2-) n, respectively [22]. From the FT-IR results, it can be concluded that probably a small amount of SDS surfactant and propylene glycol solvent are attached to the surface of Zn…”

Zinc vanadate (Zn 3 V 2 O 8) nanostructures were prepared via a simple precipitation approach in the presence of anionic sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) surfactant as size and morphology controller. The effect of different parameters such as precursor of Zn, reaction time, temperature, solvent and pH on the size, morphology and uniformity of prepared products were investigated. As-prepared products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, Electron Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Photoluminescence and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of Zn 3 V 2 O 8 nanostructures were evaluated by degradation of anionic and cationic dyes in aqueous solution under UV light irradiation. Moreover, the cyclic voltammetry analysis of Zn 3 V 2 O 8 nano and bulk structures were investigated.

The technological and biomedical applications of low toxicity and eco-friendly organic compounds are nowadays increasingly attracting the attention of researchers in nanoscience, who are aiming for more biocompatible and nanostructured systems for their application in antineoplastic therapies. This study presents the significance of "green components" in the production of graphene, metallic, and semiconductor nanoparticles, due to their antioxidant and antitumor properties. The formation of nanostructures is caused during green synthesis methods by organic molecules or carboxylic acid groups present in some plant extracts; for this reason, we include here a recapitulation and analysis of the role of carboxylic acids in those systems (organic). Furthermore, we propose the use of the extract from Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes to obtain metallic and carbon nanostructures, as an alternative biosynthesis method for the development of future nanobiotechnological applications.
