Abstract
Removal of organic dyes like methylene blue (MB) from industrial effluents serves as potential source of potable water. Photocatalytic degradation using sustainable catalyst is deemed to be an affordable solution. In this work, Nd2O3/MgO nanocomposite with different compositions (1, 3, and 5wt% Nd2O3 with MgO) have been achieved using hydrothermal synthesis and characterized extensively. Interestingly, increasing Nd2O3 proportion (1-5%) enhances light absorption, and decreases band gap and electron-hole recombination. The efficacy of the photocatalysts is tested with the degradation of MB dye, through optimizing Nd2O3/MgO proportion, contact time, catalyst dose, and pH. Interestingly, control experiments reveal that 5wt% Nd2O3/MgO achieve 99.6% degradation of MB in 90 min at pH 7, compared to 88.8% with bare MgO under same condition. Kinetic data show that 5wt% Nd2O3/MgO exhibits ca. 3 times higher degradation rate compared to MgO. For the first time, our work enable MgO-based sustainable photocatalyst development with minimum (5 wt%) rare-earth combination to achieve excellent photocatalytic degradation performance.

[PMID: 36798612 PMCID: PMC9926162 DOI: 10.1039/d2ra07877e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a Nd2O3@MIL(Fe)-88A composite was prepared through a hydrothermal method and used to detect dichlorvos. The XRD result demonstrated that the prepared sensor is highly crystalline in nature. The affinity of metal oxide and MIL(Fe)-88A could be utilised to overcome low stability and sensitivity owing to their synergistic and electronic effects. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) exhibits the electrocatalytic behaviour of Nd2O3@MIL(Fe)-88A; it functions at a lower potential at -0.5 to 0.8 V and has a wide linear range of 1-250 nM. It shows a very low detection limit of 0.92 nM with good sensitivity (4.42 mA nM-1) and selectivity. The developed Nd2O3@MIL(Fe)-88A sensor was successfully applied to detect dichlorvos in real analysis. The recovery range calculated for cabbage and orange extracts was 96-97% and 99.5-103.4%, respectively, and RSD% calculated for cabbage and orange extracts was from 1.40 to 3.39% and from 0.64 to 2.26%, respectively.

Abstract
Bio-nanoparticles have created a new era of rapid, harmless and nontoxic drugs for various biomedical applications. The nanoparticles (NPs) of rare earth metal oxides attract researcher's attention due to their excellent chemical and physical properties that exhibit potential activity against disease causing pathogens. Couroupita guianensis (C. guianensis) abul is a medicinal plant whose leaves are effectively used for the synthesis of neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) NPs. The 1-butyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIM BF4) ionic liquid is used as a stabilizing agent to get better the morphology and biological properties of Nd2O3 NPs. 1-Butene, 4,4-diethoxy-2-methyl is the main compound in C. guianensis abul leaves extract was confirmed by GCMS analysis. The structure of synthesized Nd2O3 (without ionic liquid) and Nd2O3-IL (with ionic liquid) NPs is identified by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). The vibrations of the different functional groups were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. In UV-Vis spectra, the optical absorption was identified to be 210 and 221nm of Nd2O3 and Nd2O3-IL samples and the PL spectrum provides blue and green emission peaks at 386 and 554 nm. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and DLS spectra illustrate the electronic configuration and particle size of the synthesized Nd2O3-IL NPs. The morphology, surface nature and lattice spacing were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The purity and weight percentage of the compound presented can be identified by the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The biomedical properties such as antibacterial, antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities were investigated. Finally, the overall biocompatible studies reveal that the ionic liquid assisted Nd2O3 NPs can be considered as a potential drug for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

Abstract
The growth of the textile industry results in a massive accumulation of dyes on water. This enormous rise in pigments is the primary source of water pollution, affecting the aquatic lives and our ecosystem balance. This study aims to notify the fabrication of neodymium incorporated copper oxide (Nd2O3 doped CuO) nanoparticles by combustion method for effective degradation of dye, methylene blue (MB). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Zeta potential have been applied for characterization. Photocatalyst validity has been evaluated for methylene blue degradation (MB). Test conditions such as time of contact, H2O2, pH, and photo-Fenton have been modified to identify optimal degradation conditions. Noticeably, 7.5% Nd2O3 doped CuO nanoparticle demonstrated the highest photocatalytic efficiency, up to 90.8% in 80 min, with a 0.0227 min-1 degradation rate. However, the photocatalytic efficiency at pH 10 becomes 99% with a rate constant of 0.082 min-1. Cyclic experiments showed the Nd2O3 doped CuO nanoparticle's stability over repeated use. Scavenge hydroxyl radical species responsible for degradation using 7.5% Nd2O3 doped CuO nanoparticles have been investigated under visible irradiation.

Abstract
In this study, we designed Fe3O4 nanoparticles and heterogeneous Fe3O4-Au nanocomposites with a mean size of 21 and 27 nm that synthesized by Foeniculum vulgare seed extract to photodegrade organic micropollutants under UV and visible light irradiation. The physiochemical characteristics of biogenic nanoparticles/nanocomposite are described by XRD, FTIR, UV-Vis, SEM, EDX, and X-ray elemental mapping. In the presence of nanoparticles and nanocomposites under UV irradiation, the total degradation of contaminants is about 85-90% after 2100 s, while under visible light irradiation, degradation efficiencies are about 70-85% after 4800-s irradiation. Total organic carbon analysis results confirmed photodegradation efficacies. Also, the scavenger's experiments show that hydroxyl radical is the most important specie in the degradation of pollutant model. It can be concluded clearly that Fe3O4 green nanoparticles and Fe3O4-Au green nanocomposite are very simple and effective photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants in very short time under illumination.

Abstract
We reported the tin (II) tungstate nanoparticles as the photocatalyst and sensor modifier that were synthesized via chemical precipitation reaction and optimized thru the Taguchi design method. The method predicted the best synthesis conditions that led to smaller particles and desired morphologies. Different techniques were used to characterize the chemical structure, morphology, and purity of the nanoparticles. The photocatalytic behavior of different crystalline forms of the SnWO4 nanoparticles (α and β) was considered by photodegradation of methylene orange and zolpidem under UV light irradiation, while the average size of β-SnWO4 and α-SnWO4 nanoparticles prepared in optimum conditions is about 17 nm and 20 nm, respectively. Efficiencies of degradation of methyl orange and zolpidem on β-SnWO4, in the presence of UV irradiation, were 93% and 98% and in the presence of α-SnWO4 were 73% and 82% after 2100 s, respectively. Voltammetric sensing of zolpidem was designed by modification of carbon paste electrode via β-SnWO4 nanoparticles and investigated for determination of the drug in aqueous solution.

Abstract
A simple biogenic approach for synthesis of Fe3O4/Au nanocomposite with 31 nm size using aqueous extract of Carum carvi L. seeds has been reported. Phytochemicals of Carum carvi L. seeds extract play three roles, including reducing, capping, and stabilizing agents during the nanocomposite fabrication process. Resulting nanocomposite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential reflectance spectroscopy, vibrating-sample magnetometer, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray elemental mapping. Differential reflectance spectroscopy investigated optical property and absorption spectra display a sharp absorption agreeing to a bandgap of 1.6 eV. Photocatalytic activity of biogenic Fe3O4/Au nanocomposite has been investigated for degradation of imatinib and imipenem drugs under UV and visible light irradiation, due to pharmaceuticals have shown to be recalcitrant in wastewater and conventional wastewater treatments do not remove them, often. Degradation efficiency of imatinib, and imipenem are about 92% and 96% after 1200 s exposure UV light and about 82% and 84% after 3600s exposure visible light in the concentration of 10 ppm drugs. Also, antimicrobial activity of biogenic Fe3O4/Au nanocomposite was investigated on three human pathogens and best result can see in 25 mg/mL of nanocomposite versuse Bacillus subtilis that inhibition zone is about 27 mm. Design of nanocomposites capable of simultaneously removing pharmaceutical and microbial contaminations is important in environments such as hospitals wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Entropy-Stabilized Oxides (ESO) is a modern class of multicomponent advanced ceramic materials with attractive functional properties. Through a five-component oxide formulation, the configurational entropy is used to drive the phase stabilization over a reversible solid-state transformation from a multiphase to a single-phase state. In this paper, a new transition metal/rare earth entropy-stabilized oxide, with composition Ce0.2Zr0.2Y0.2Gd0.2La0.2O2-, was found after several investigations on alternative candidate systems. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analyses of calcined powders pointed out different behavior as a function of the composition and a single-phase fluorite structure was obtained after a specific thermal treatment at 1500 °C. Powders presented the absence of agglomeration, so that the sintered specimen exhibited sufficient densification with a small porosity, uniformly distributed in the sample.

Abstract
This study presents a rapid water-based chemical precipitation method for synthesis of zinc sulfide (ZnS) quantum dots (QDs), under the ultrasonic radiation, using two capping agents; including 2-mercaptoethanol and l-cysteine. It is demonstrated that by applying ultrasonic radiation, the synthesis time can be significantly decreased. The effect of capping agent type on the color specifications (using colorimetry), absorption spectra (using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy) and ZnS structure (using X-ray diffraction) are investigated. The results of the research indicate that the as-synthesized QDs were cubic structures with dimensions less than 10 nm. After characterization, the QDs samples were performed as nano-scaled photoatalysts, through a UV-driven photodegradation process for the degradation of crystalline violet (CV) as a pollutant dye. Moreover, the present study assesses the effect of operating conditions including the pH of the dye solution, UV-irradiation time, ionic strength, type and dosage of nanophotocatalyst on degradation efficiency. Experimental results of the research demonstrate the QDs can be reused for at-least five times, without a significant decrease in their photocatalytic properties. The maximum photodegradation efficiency for the CV solution adjusted at pH 11, in the presence of a low amount of QDs (i.e. 5 mg) was observed after 90 min irradiation time. Finally, the probable mechanism and kinetics of degradation reaction are proposed in the study. From the kinetic data, the acceptable regression coefficient values (>0.98) for the pseudo first-order kinetic model was obtained for expression the present QD-based photodegradation approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herein, we report the biosynthesis procedure to prepare silver nanoparticles as reduction and capping agents with the aqueous plant extract of Perovskia abrotanoides. METHODS The therapeutic application of silver nanoparticles entirely depends on the size and shape of the nanoparticles therefore, their control during the synthesis procedure is so important. The effects of synthesis factors, for example, silver ion concentration, the mass of plant extract, reaction time and extraction temperature, on the size of silver particles were considered and optimized. Several analytical methods were used for the characterization of silver NPs including FT-IR and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, XRD and SEM. RESULTS The results showed that the mean size of the silver particles was about 51 nm. Moreover, the antibacterial properties of biosynthesized silver NPs were investigated by the minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration, and Well-diffusion tests. The minimum inhibitory concentration/ minimum bactericidal concentration values of silver NPs and aqueous plant extract versus Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli) were 3.03/0.00, 1.20/0.01, 3.06/0.00, 0.98/1.04, 1.00/0.05 and 1.30/0.03 (mg/mL), respectively. CONCLUSION The antimicrobial activity study displayed that the synthesized silver nanoparticles by plant extract have better antimicrobial properties compared to aqueous plant extract of Perovskia abrotanoides.

Abstract
The rare-earth carbonates represent a class of materials with great research interest owing to their intrinsic properties and because they can be used as template materials for the formation of other rare earth phases, particularly of rare-earth oxides. However, most of the literature is focused on the synthesis and characterization of hydroxycarbonates. Conversely, in the present study we have synthesized both rare-earth carbonates—with the chemical formula RE2(CO3)3·2-3H2O, in which RE represents a generic rare-earth element, and a tengerite-type structure with a peculiar morphology—and rare-earth hydroxycarbonates with the chemical formula RECO3OH, by hydrothermal treatment at low temperature (120 °C), using metal nitrates and ammonium carbonates as raw materials, and without using any additive or template. We found that the nature of the rare-earth used plays a crucial role in relation to the formed phases, as predicted by the contraction law of lanthanides. In particular, the hydrothermal synthesis of rare-earth carbonates with a tengerite-type structure was obtained for the lanthanides from neodymium to erbium. A possible explanation of the different behaviors of lighter and heavier rare-earths is given.
