Bounedjar N, Ferhat MF, Ouyang C, Bououdina M, Shawish I, Abumousa RA, Humayun M. Facile fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles via non-thermal plasma technique and their anti-corrosive effects on X60 API 5L steel in 1M HCl solution. Heliyon 2024; 10:e38125. [PMID: 39381213 PMCID: PMC11459058 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e38125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 09/15/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/10/2024] Open
Abstract
This work aims to explore the efficiency of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized via the non-thermal gliding arc discharge-assisted plasma (NT-GAD) technique for inhibiting the corrosion of X60 API 5L steel in a 1M HCl environment. The XRD pattern revealed that the ZnO nanoparticles exhibit hexagonal wurtzite structure with average particle size of ∼24 nm. UV-visible spectroscopy analysis revealed an absorption peak centering at 365 nm, corresponding to an energy band gap of 3.29 eV. SEM and TEM analysis revealed that the nanoparticles exhibit an agglomerated and irregular morphology. The corrosion inhibition of ZnO NPs was investigated via the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization tests (PDP), while varying both concentration and temperature. The results revealed that the increase in inhibitor concentration resulted in a higher activity at ambient temperature, with an optimal efficiency of 93 % at a concentration of 100 mg/L. However, the increase in temperature remarkably reduced the inhibition efficiency, suggesting a physisorption behavior of ZnO NPs onto the steel surface. AFM and FE-SEM analysis confirmed the formation of a protective layer on the X60 API 5L steel surface. This study emphasizes the significant potential of ZnO NPs synthesized via the NT-GAD assisted plasma technique as corrosion inhibitor for X60 API 5L carbon steel in 1M HCl corrosive media.

Abstract
The most prevalent form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcerative colitis (UC), is characterized by persistent inflammation of the colorectal mucosa. It is asymptomatic, whereas Crohn's disease (CD) causes patchy lesions in the gastrointestinal tract. Men and women suffer equally from ulcerative colitis, which usually strikes in the second and third decades of life and becomes more common in senior citizens. In the present study, we produced zinc oxide nanoparticles using the natural herbal plant, Cassia alata. Zinc oxide nanoparticles have remarkable antimicrobial and antitumor benefits in the field of biomedical science. Furthermore, the synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were characterized using UV, XRD, FTIR, and SEM analyses. The XRD analysis confirmed the crystallite nature and purity of the synthesized nanoparticles. Zinc oxide nanoparticles with a uniform size and partially agglomerated morphology were verified by SEM analysis. We investigated the protective effects of environmentally friendly zinc oxide nanoparticles in dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis mouse models. Green synthesized Cassia alata zinc oxide nanoparticles (CA ZnO NPs) reversed weight loss, disease activity index, colon shortening, and colon histological damage. Zinc oxide nanoparticles reduce hypersensitivity, oxidative stress, and inflammation, and protect the mucosal layer. Green synthesized CA ZnO NPs demonstrated protection against dextran sodium sulfate-induced ulcerative colitis via anti-inflammatory activity.

Abstract
Because of the excellent performance in photochemistry, WO3 is increasingly applied in the field of biology and medicine. However, little is known about the mechanism of WO3 cytotoxicity. In this work, WO3 nanosheets with oxygen vacancy are synthesized by solvothermal method, then characterized and added to culture medium of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with different concentrations. We characterized and analyzed the morphology of nano-WO3 by transmission electron microscopy and calculated the specific data of oxygen vacancy by XPS. It is the first time the effect of WO3-x on cells that WO3-x can cause oxidative stress in HUVEC cells, resulting in DNA damage and thus promoting apoptosis. Transcriptome sequencing is performed on cells treated with low and high concentrations of WO3-x, and a series of key signals affecting cell proliferation and apoptosis are detected in differentially expressed genes, which indicates the research direction of nanotoxicity. The expression levels of key genes are also verified by quantitative PCR after cell treatment with different concentrations of WO3-x. This work fills the gap between the biocompatibility of nano WO3-x materials and molecular cytology and paves the way for investigating the mechanism and risks of oxygen vacancy in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Due to their appropriate physicochemical properties, nanoparticles are used in nanomedicine to develop drug delivery systems for anticancer therapy. In biomedical applications, metal oxide nanoparticles are used as powerful and flexible multipurpose agents. This work described a green synthesis of Y2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) using the sol-gel technique with the use of aqueous leaf extracts of Lantana camara L (LC). These nanoparticles were characterized with the aid of different methods, including UV, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmitted electron microscopy (TEM), and photocatalytic degradation. Y2O3 nanoparticles showed excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli with a 10 to 15 mm inhibitory zone. Green Y2O3 NPs were released with a 4 h lag time and 80% sustained release rate, indicating that they could be used in drug delivery. In addition, the bioavailability of green Y2O3 NPs was investigated using cell viability in cervical cancer cell lines. These green-synthesized Y2O3 NPs demonstrated photocatalytic degradation, antibacterial, and anticancer properties.

Abstract
The development of an efficient photocatalyst with superior activity under visible light has been regarded as a significant strategy for pollutant degradation and environmental remediation. Herein, a series of WO3/Ag2CO3 mixed photocatalysts with different proportions were prepared by a simple mixing method and characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, and DRS techniques. The photocatalytic performance of the WO3/Ag2CO3 mixed photocatalyst was investigated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm). The photocatalytic efficiency of the mixed WO3/Ag2CO3 photocatalyst was rapidly increased with the proportion of Ag2CO3 up to 5%. The degradation percentage of RhB by WO3/Ag2CO3-5% reached 99.7% within 8 min. The pseudo-first-order reaction rate constant of WO3/Ag2CO3-5% (0.9591 min-1) was 118- and 14-fold higher than those of WO3 (0.0081 min-1) and Ag2CO3 (0.0663 min-1). The catalytic activities of the mixed photocatalysts are not only higher than those of the WO3 and Ag2CO3 but also higher than that of the WO3/Ag2CO3 composite prepared by the precipitation method. The activity enhancement may be because of the easier separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The photocatalytic mechanism was investigated by free radical capture performance and fluorescence measurement. It was found that light-induced holes (h+) was the major active species and superoxide radicals (·O2 -) also played a certain role in photocatalytic degradation of RhB.

Abstract
Tungsten oxide (WO3 ) has received ever more attention and has been highly researched over the last decade due to its being a low-cost transition metal semiconductor with tunable, yet widely stable, band gaps. This minireview briefly highlights the challenges in the design and synthesis of porous WO3 including methods, precursors, solvent effects, crystal phases, and surface activities of the porous WO3 base material. These topics are explored while also drawing a connection of how the morphology and crystal phase affect the band gap. The shifts in band gap not only impact the optical properties of tungsten but also allow tuning to operate on different energy levels, which makes WO3 highly desirable in many applications such as supercapacitors, batteries, solar cells, catalysts, sensors, smart windows, and bioapplications.

Abstract
In recent years, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) emerged as an excellent candidate in the field of optical, electrical, food packaging and particularly in biomedical research. ZnONPs show cancer cell specific toxicity via the pH-dependent (low pH) dissolution into Zn2+ ions, which generate reactive oxygen species and induce cytotoxicity in cancer cells. Further, ZnONPs have also been used as an effective carrier for the targeted delivery of several anticancer drugs into tumor cells. The increasing focus on ZnONPs resulted in the development of various synthesis approaches including chemical, pHysical, and green or biological for the manufacturing of ZnONPs. In this article, at first we have discussed the various synthesis methods of ZnONPs and secondly its biomedical applications. We have extensively reviewed the anticancer mechanism of ZnONPs on different types of cancers considering its size, shape and surface charge dependent cytotoxicity. Photoirradiation with UV light or NIR laser further increase its anticancer activity via synergistic chemo-photodynamic effect. The drug delivery applications of ZnONPs with special emphasis on drug loading mechanism, stimuli-responsive controlled release and therapeutic effects have also been discussed in this review. Finally, its side effects to vital body organs with mechanism via different exposure routes, the future direction of the ZnONPs research and application are also discussed.
