Synthesis and characterization of Mo_xFe_1−xO nanocomposites for the ultra-fast degradation of methylene blue via a Fenton-like process: a green approach

Abstract

A detailed degradation study of methylene blue within 22 minutes by the green synthesis of MoxFe1−xO nanocomposites using Punica granatum peel extract.

Rational synthesis and characterization of temperature switching ZnFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites used for anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant and seed germination properties

“…X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a potent technique that is frequently employed and typically well known for qualitative and quantitative analyses of crystalline phases in materials; much more information can be obtained from a careful examination of the diffraction patterns such as the characterization of solid solutions, crystallite size and shape, crystal orientation, internal elastic strains/stresses at different levels. 72,73 Fig. 1 presents the XRD pattern of the synthesized nanocomposites.…”

Waste mediated synthesis of iron nanoparticles using Aegle marmelos peel extract for catalytic degradation of toxic dye contaminants

“…5,6 Within this context of innovative green methodologies, plant-based synthesis of nanoparticles has enthused the researchers as they offer an environmentally benign pathway that can avoid the use of toxic additives, specically external reductants and capping agents as well as organic carcinogenic solvents. [7][8][9][10][11] The phytochemicals present in plants such as avones, terpenoids, ketones, aldehydes, amides, and carboxylic acids not only serve as excellent reductants but also as stabilising agents, imparting nanoparticles with considerable stability against agglomeration and oxidation. 12,13 Rao et al reported the synthesis of Fe°/Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles using pomegranate (Punica granatum) leaf extract.…”
