Studies on structural, optical and thermal properties of Fe3O4 (NR)/ZrO2 CSNCs synthesized via green approach for photodegradation of dyes

WITHDRAWN: A facile synthesis of MgFe2O4/ZnS heterojunction with effectively enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue and crystal violet dyes

“…05-0566)[11,12]. The average crystallite size (D) of the prepared materials was evaluated by Scherrer formula[13][14][15].D = 0.94λ/β cos θWhere, λ signi es the wavelength of Cu Kα radiation (1.5405Ǻ), β and θ are full width at half maximum of broadened characteristic peaks and Bragg diffraction angle, respectively. The average particle size of assynthesized MgFe 2 O 4, ZnS and MgFe 2 O 4 /ZnS NCs was determined to be 33 nm, 47 nm, and 55 nm.…”

Green synthesis of copper nanoparticles from an extract ofJatropha curcasleaves: characterization, optical properties, CT-DNA binding and photocatalytic activity

“…19 Fe, Cu, Zn and Ag nanoparticles have been synthesised using biological sources and have been reported in potential applications such as for antimicrobials, photocatalytic activity etc. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] However, the multifunctional activity of green-synthesised nanoparticles is not reported in any of the previous research. Therefore, we focused on the multifunctional activity of JC-CuNPs.…”

Synthesis, optimization and characterization of silver nanoparticles using the catkin extract of Piper longum for bactericidal effect against food-borne pathogens via conventional and mathematical approaches

“…Though it has levelled a considerable success, the use of plant-based materials has gained much attention rather than microorganisms for green synthesis of metal nanoparticles because of limited toxicity, less time and the added advantage of available natural capping agents. Moreover, it reduces the cost of isolation of microorganisms and enhancement of culture media for microbe assisted biosynthesis and uses several sources of reductants such as leaves, flowers and catkins [2] , [9] , [10] , [11] , [12] , [13] .…”
