13) When the tray is thoroughly dry, determine its mass. Record the mass in the data table. You have to wait until day three to weigh the copper.

Catechin-Cu nanoparticles were synthesized through an ultrasonic crushing method, as schematically depicted in Fig. 9, the major steps involved in producing Catechin-Cu nanoparticles. In a typical procedure, a solution containing 9 mL alcohol was prepared, in which a desired amount of Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP) (Mw = 1,300,000) was dissolved with magnetic stirring, at room temperature, for 2 h. The concentration of PVP was 9% by weight, followed by addition of 1 ml of mixed solution containing Catechin and cupric nitrate with molar ratios 1:2. In this method, both the cathchin and cupric nitrate were mixed in a mutually dissolving solvent, which was removed by evaporation to produce a film, and then reconstituted in a buffer solution medium

The molar concentrations of copper (II) sulfate solutions A, B, and C were 0.46 M, 1.00 M, and 0.20 M. These values were obtained by creating a calibration curve using the molar concentrations and photoresistor voltage drops for solutions 1 through 5. The quadratic equation of the calibration curve was used in conjunction with the photoresistor voltages for solutions A, B and C to predict the molar concentrations of solutions A, B, and C.

Copper acetate monohydrate (Cu(CH3COO)2.H2O, SRL, AR Grade), Iron(III) nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3 9H2O, Thomas Baker, AR grade), cadmium dihydrate (Cd(CH3COO)2.2H2O), tin chloride dihydrate (SnCl2.2H2O, Merck, GR grade), and thiourea (CS(NH)2, SD Fine, AR grade), and ethanol (Merck, AR grade) were the precursors used for synthesis of CFTS and CCdTS nanoparticles. The electrolyte is composed of the following chemicals: 0.1M lithium iodide (LiI, Anhydrous, Merck), 0.05M Iodine ((I2, Thomas Baker, LR), 0.5M 4-tert-Butylpyridine (TBP, Sigma-Aldrich, 96%) and 0.6 M 1-Methyl- 3-propylimidazolim iodide (PMII, Sigma-Aldrich, 98%) and acetonitrile. Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates (TEC 8, sheet resistance 8 Pilkington), TiO2 powder (P 25,

These edge regions are where the oxygen functional groups are located. Previous studies have shown that carbon surfaces are made up of graphene layer surfaces and oxygen containing functional groups on the edges9. The most common oxygen functional groups on the carbon surface are lactone, carboxyl, phenol/quinine, carbonyl and ether groups25. Furthermore, quinine functional groups are considered responsible for the activated carbon reactivity along with lactones that participate in redox reactions. The carboxyl groups are responsible for adsorption of heavy metal ions such as silver by participating in ion exchange

Scheme – 9: Shimizu et al. studied benzylation of arenes catalyzed by Ag(I) oxide, Ag(I) ion, bulk silver metal, and silica supported silver nanoparticles. Ag powder, silver oxide, Ag(I) ion and silica alone are not active towards benzylation of anisole. However, the catalytic activity of SiO2 supported silver catalysts was increased with the silver loading up to 5 wt% and decreased with further increase in the loading. Catalyst with 5 wt% Ag loading on SiO2 showed benzylated product yield about 82%. The catalyst is recoverable and reusable.25

The phenomenon of 3-dimensional quantum confinement leads to heavy dependence of band gap energy on the size of the quantum dot. This allows the electronic and optical properties of quantum dots to be highly tunable simply by changing the size of the molecule. QD size can be controlled during synthesis by adjusting the temperature, pH or feed-ratio of reagents [2, 9].Another way to control the band gap energy is to modify the surface ligands attached to the surface of the quantum dot. Surface ligands are similar to dopants in semiconductors in that they alter the band gap energy by providing additional electrons or holes to the nanoparticles. Shell of ligands allows the quantum dots to be suspended in a variety of organic solvents and water, permitting

In this study, we use an effective method for preparing PAA/Graphene composite materials via in situ polymerization with graphene content of up to 50% for high performance nanocomposites. We study a method of effectively electrodepositing PAA/Graphene films on various metallic substrates and then curing them stepwise until complete immidization has taken place. Characterization

Since the last two decades, vertical graphene nanosheets (VGNs), sometimes called carbon nanowalls or graphene nanoflakes, have captured significant attention as envisioned materials for supercapacitors (SCs), fuel cells, field emission, magnetic device applications and so on due to their intriguing properties.

Because of the difficulties of applying pristine graphene to thin sheets, chemical oxidation method has been regarded as the most promising way to produce graphene sheets, on typical approach to fabricate graphene TC is to spin-coat graphite oxide film on a substrate and convert into graphene films through thermal or vapor chemical reduction. The electrical conductivity of spin coated manufactured TCF is typically ranging from 10-3 to 1 S/cm [1]. However, this value is relatively low, compared to the requirement of optoelectronic devices. Thus, various methods to enhance the electrical properties were done.

The doping of semiconductor by rare earth metal nanoparticle is an effective way for increasing photocatalytic activity. Zinc oxide and Lanthanum doped Zinc oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by modifying the gel-combustion method. It was found that La can greatly enhance the cytotoxicity and photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles towards various cell lines and paracetamol drug. These nanoparticles were characterized by various spectroscopic and other techniques which clearly revealed the presence of lanthanum ions. The absorption edge shifts towards the visible region after doping with La ions. This shift shows that the doping of La ions is favorable for absorbing the visible light. The comparative photocatalytic and cytotoxicity activity revealed that La doped ZnO nanoparticles remarkably enhanced activities as compared to the ZnO nanoparticles. The outcome of these studies offers valuable for planning La doped ZnO nanoparticles having cytotoxicity and photocatalytic activities helpful for the formulation of anticancer product and wastewater remediation.

In top-down techniques, clusters are synthesized from larger nanoparticles or bulk metal. Etching of nanoparticles using ligands (as thiols) is one of the most top-down techniques can be used for the synthesis of metal clusters. Removing the surface atoms or break the metal nanoparticles into smaller clusters by using the etching capacity of such ligands will lead to synthesize stable quantum clusters. For example, Habib et al. has used the etching of mercaptosuccinic acid protected gold nanoparticles with excess glutathione to yield small photoluminescent gold clusters either with 8 or 25 gold atoms [16]. Polyethylenimine as multivalent coordinating polymers can also be used to etch preformed colloidal gold nanocrystals producing highly fluorescent nanoclusters [17]. it is well confirmed that small noble metal nanoclusters display excellent catalytic activities such as aerobic oxidation of thiophenol [18], propene epoxidation[19], oxidation of styrene [20], p-nitrophenol reduction with NaBH4 [21] and the reduction of methylene blue with hydrazine [22].

Systematic studies on the structural change of silver nanoparticles, which are easy to change shape and exhibit excellent localized surface plasmon resonance effect, were carried out and the predicted shape change was compared to the actual nanoparticles. Herein, key information on the alteration of silver nanoparticles was determined theoretically by a computational method, discrete dipole approximation (DDA). The galvanic reaction and sulfidation reaction were suggested to improve the stability of silver nanoprism (AgNP). In addition, the effect of additionally generated spherical particles, silver nanosphere (AgNS), on the absorbance was studied. Both AgNP and AgNS formed hollow nanostructure after the galvanic reaction, and these

It has been reported in the literature that sol-gel method had influence of CuO nanoparticles [8-9]. Basically, sol-gel method is divided into two categories aqueous and non-aqueous sol-gel methods both are beneficial for material preparation with simple laboratory equipment. Also, it gives various morphologies at the synthesis stage (chemical transformation of the molecular precursor into the final oxidic network) [10]. The aqueous sol-gel method has popular to fabricate bulk metal oxides; they have a few limitations, when it works at their nanoscale counterparts. It becomes more complex due to the highly reactive nature of water molecules with metal oxide precursors. In many cases, the three reaction types (hydrolysis, condensation, or aggregation) occur simultaneously (and are difficult to control individually), therefore slight variation in experimental conditions results in the alteration of particle morphologies and is a serious concern regarding the reproducibility of a synthesis [11]. Furthermore, the synthesized metal oxides are often amorphous, and it is difficult to retain full control over the crystallization process. Apart from that the nonaqueous (or nonhydrolytic) sol-gel method in organic solvents without involvement of water molecules is able to defeat some of the major limitations of aqueous method. The advantages are closely related to the diverse role of the organic
