Sci Rep 2023; 13:13798. [PMID: 37612338 PMCID: PMC10447510 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40668-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 08/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The main thrust of this project is the fabrication of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from electronic waste (PCB board) and applying it on 100% cotton fabric as an antimicrobial agent. The nanoparticle formation of silver was done by green synthesis way using an aqueous leaf extract of Eichhornia crassipes. Furthermore, chitosan was also applied to the fabric with silver nanoparticles by coating. FTIR and SEM tests characterized the fabricated silver nanoparticles, and antimicrobial tests were followed by the disc diffusion method. The SEM analysis showed an average particle size of 76.91 nm. The FTIR analysis showed the successful reduction of silver nanoparticles and the bonding with chitosan and cellulose. Besides, the EDX reports confirmed the existence of AgNPs by indicating a strong signal in the silver region. In addition, SEM characteristics analysis confirmed the uniform deposition of silver nanoparticles. Finally, the antimicrobial property was tested against gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The antimicrobial result was found satisfactory in the case of green-synthesized recycled AgNPs. However, the effectiveness was not observed to be higher than green-synthesized pure AgNPs. In this study, the zone of inhibition of AgNPs was also compared to the reference antibiotics Ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is gaining enormous attention as the most dynamic research area in science and technology. It involves the synthesis and applications of nanomaterials in diverse fields including medical, agriculture, textiles, food technology, cosmetics, aerospace, electronics, etc. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively used in such applications due to their excellent physicochemical, antibacterial, and biological properties. The use of plant extract as a biological reactor is one of the most promising solutions for the synthesis of AgNPs because this process overcomes the drawbacks of physical and chemical methods. This review article summarizes the plant-mediated synthesis process, the probable reaction mechanism, and the colorimetric sensing applications of AgNPs. Plant-mediated synthesis parameters largely affect the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) characteristic due to the changes in the size and shape of AgNPs. These changes in the size and shape of plant-mediated AgNPs are elaborately discussed here by analyzing the surface plasmon resonance characteristics. Furthermore, this article also highlights the promising applications of plant-mediated AgNPs in sensing applications regarding the detection of mercury, hydrogen peroxide, lead, and glucose. Finally, it describes the future perspective of plant-mediated AgNPs for the development of green chemistry.

NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12050854.

Abstract
Diamond is one of the fascinating films appropriate for optoelectronic applications due to its wide bandgap (5.45 eV), high thermal conductivity (3320 W m−1·K−1), and strong chemical stability. In this report, we synthesized a type of diamond film called nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) by employing a physical vapor deposition method. The synthesis process was performed in different ratios of nitrogen and hydrogen mixed gas atmospheres to form nitrogen-doped (n-type) NCD films. A high-resolution scanning electron microscope confirmed the nature of the deposited films to contain diamond nanograins embedded into the amorphous carbon matrix. Sensitive spectroscopic investigations, including X-ray photoemission (XPS) and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS), were performed using a synchrotron beam. XPS spectra indicated that the nitrogen content in the film increased with the inflow ratio of nitrogen and hydrogen gas (IN/H). NEXAFS spectra revealed that the σ*C–C peak weakened, accompanied by a π*C=N peak strengthened with nitrogen doping. This structural modification after nitrogen doping was found to generate unpaired electrons with the formation of C–N and C=N bonding in grain boundaries (GBs). The measured electrical conductivity increased with nitrogen content, which confirms the suggestion of structural investigations that nitrogen-doping generated free electrons at the GBs of the NCD films.

WATER RESEARCH 2021; 201:117314. [PMID: 34146763 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2021.117314] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Photocatalytic activation of molecular oxygen (O2) is a promising way in oxidative degradation of organic pollutants. However, it suffers from low efficiency mainly due to the limited active sites for O2 activation over traditional photocatalysts. Therefore, we established a single atomic Ag-g-C3N4 (SAACN) catalyst with 10 wt% loading of Ag single sites for boosting the O2 activation during the degradation of tetracycline (TC), and 10 wt% loading of nanoparticle Ag-g-C3N4 (NPACN) was studied as a comparison. When using SAACN, the accumulative concentration of superoxide (•O2-), hydroxyl radical (•OH), singlet oxygen (1O2) reached up to 0.66, 0.19, 0.33 mmol L-1h-1, respectively, within 120 min, 11.7, 5.7 and 4.9 times compared with those using NPACN, representing 17.24% of dissolved O2 was converted to reactive oxygen species (ROS). When additionally feeding air or O2, the accumulative concentrations of •O2-, •OH, 1O2 were even higher (air: 4.21, 0.97, 2.02 mmol L-1 h-1; O2: 17.13, 1.32, 9.00 mmol L-1 h-1). The rate constants (k) for degrading the TC were 0.0409 min-1 over SAACN and 0.00880 min-1 over NPACN, respectively (mineralization rate: 95.7% vs. 59.9% after 3 h of degradation). Moreover, the degradation ability of SAACN did not decrease in a wide range of pH value (4-10) or under low temperature (10 °C). Besides the high exposure of Ag single sites, other advances of SAACN were: 1(O2 was more energetic favorable to adsorb on single atomic Ag sites; 2) Positive Ag single sites were easier to obtain the electrons from the surrounding N atoms, and facilitated electron transfer towards adsorbed O2.
