Abstract
In the present study, the vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nickel-doped vanadium pentoxide (Ni@V2O5) was prepared and determined for in vitro anticancer activity. The structural characterization of the prepared V2O5 and Ni@V2O5 was determined using diverse morphological and spectroscopic analyses. The DRS-UV analysis displayed the absorbance at 215 nm for V2O5 and 331 nm for Ni@V2O5 as the primary validation of the synthesis of V2O5 and Ni@V2O5. The EDS spectra exhibited the presence of 30% of O, 69% of V, and 1% of Ni and the EDS mapping showed the constant dispersion. The FE-SEM and FE-TEM analysis showed the V2O5 nanoparticles are rectangle-shaped and nanocomposites have excellent interfaces between nickel and V2O5. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) investigation of Ni@V2O5 nanocomposite endorses the occurrence of elements V, O, and Ni. The in vitro MTT assay clearly showed that the V2O5 and Ni@V2O5 have significantly inhibited the proliferation of B16F10 skin cancer cells. In addition, the nanocomposite produces the endogenous reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria, causes the mitochondrial membrane and nuclear damage, and consequently induces apoptosis by caspase 9/3 enzymatic activity in skin cancer cells. Also, the western blot analysis showed that the nanocomposite suppresses the oncogenic marker proteins such as PI3K, Akt, and mTOR in the skin cancer cells. Together, the results showed that Ni@V2O5 can be used as an auspicious anticancer agent against skin cancer.

Regeneration study of MB in recycling runs over nickel vanadium oxide by solvent extraction for photocatalytic performance for wastewater treatments. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 211:112970. [PMID: 35219632 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.112970] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2022] [Revised: 02/06/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Recently, researchers are concentrating on the synthesis of composite materials to enhance the efficiency of the materials in various applications. In this work, nickel vanadium oxide (NiV2O6) nanocomposite material is prepared via two methods and the prepared samples have been characterized with basic studies to analyse the effect of preparation method and the reaction time. The XRD studies reveal a polycrystalline growth in both the methods. The broad XRD peaks obtained for samples prepared via hydrothermal method suggests the size reduction and 1D nanostructure formation. The SEM analysis shows the formation of 1D structures in hydrothermal and 3D microsphere structures in solvothermal methods. The possible formation mechanism behind this formation has been discussed in this manuscript. The FTIR peaks in the fingerprint region confirm the formation and vibration of metal-oxygen bonds. The large optical bandgap values obtained from Tauc plot again confirms the formation of nanostructures of the synthesized samples. The photocatalytic activity of nickel vanadium oxide on methylene blue dye under halogen light were performed and, the recyclability of the sample is investigated. It was found from the photocatalytic spectrum that, the samples prepared from both the methods shows a degradation efficiency of more than 80% within 150 min. It was confirmed that the prepared NiV2O6 photocatalyst samples does not lose their degradation ability even after five cycles of repeated usage.

Abstract
Tellurium quantum dots (Te QDs) were prepared using bulk tellurium as the precursor. Te QDs can be a highly active photocatalyst for boosting the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation. The morphology and composition of Te QDs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that in the presence of H2O2, the photocatalytic efficiency of Te QDs on RhB could achieve a good degradation effect within a very short time (30 min). The effects of initial dye concentration, pH value, light intensity, catalyst dosage and H2O2 concentration on dye degradation were successively studied. The effects of inorganic ions (NO3-, Cl-, SO42-, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Fe3+) on photocatalytic degradation were also discussed. Experimental results of free radical capture showed that OH• and O2•- played important roles in photocatalytic degradation. More importantly, Te QDs efficiency still remained above 85% after four cycles of use, indicating good stability, recyclability and utility. This work may inspire further design of other semiconductor QDs for highly efficient dye degradation.
