Iron nanoparticles (NPs), due to their interesting properties, low cost preparation and many potential applications in ferrofluids, magneto-optical, catalysis, drug delivery systems, magnetic resonance imaging, and biology, have attracted a lot of interest during recent years. In this research, γFe2O3NPs were synthesized through simple co-precipitation method followed by thermal treatment at 300 °C for 2 hours. In our synthesis route, FeCl3 and FeCl2 were employed as precursors to synthesize γ-Fe2O3NPs. This approach is very effective and economical. The γ-Fe2O3NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM),and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The XRD and FT-IR results indicated the formation of γ-Fe2O3NPs. The SEM and TEM images contributed to the analysis of particle size and revealed that the γ-Fe2O3 particle size of the nanopowders ranged from 11 and 13 nm. Magnetic property was measured by VSM at room temperature and hysteresis loops exhibited that the γ-Fe2O3 NPs were super-paramagnetic. The synthesized γ-Fe2O3NPs were applied in order to synthesize mono-triazoles within one molecule using azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions.

Interestingly, copper has been identified as an ideal metal catalyst for an industrial scale electrochemical reduction of CO2 to various value-added chemicals relative to other metal catalysts reported so far. This is due to the fact that copper and copper-based materials have the potential to convert CO2 to oxygenates such as ethanol, methanol, formates etc. and hydrocarbons such as ethane, methane etc. Mechanistic details on how these products are formed on the catalyst-electrolyte interphase during the reduction process have remained relatively uncovered. This review, therefore, seeks to uncover the mechanism of electrochemical reduction of CO2 on Cu/Cu based electrodes, factors that affect catalytic activity and selectivity for these electrodes as reported in the various literature. This paper is therefore organized as follows: section 1 covers the introduction; an overview of some basic concepts in electrochemical CO2 reduction (ECR) was discussed in section 2, experimental studies were discussed in section 3, and finally the conclusion. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_66836_291b6281eb0b46085790172b51c7f78f.pdf Copper electrode Catalyst Mechanism CO2 reduction Selectivity eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2018-10-01 1 4 225 233 10.26655/ajnanomat.2018.9.3 69758 مقاله پژوهشی Essamhassan G Arafa Gomaa [email protected] 1 Moustafa Diab [email protected] 2 Adel Elsonbati [email protected] 3 Hamed M Abulenader [email protected] 4 Asmaa Helmy [email protected] 5 Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, 35516-Mansoura, Egypt Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Damietta University, Damietta, Egypt.

Phyto-compounds facilitated synthesis of nanoparticles has created an exceptional impact in the formation of nanoparticles and is used for the synthesis of modern nano drugs. Ignorance about phytochemical composition particularly knowledge of the bio-active principle of medicinal plant restricts the demonstration of the real picture of the enhancement of any bio-efficacy. The present communication scientifically established anti-inflammatory bio-efficacy in seeds of the folk plant <em>Madhuca longifolia</em> and its significant enhancement by bio-active principle (saponin) loaded silver nanoparticles (S@AgNp_s). A family of four saponins has been explored quantified (3.59%) and characterized (Micro Mass ESI-TOF MS spectra). Synthesis of S@AgNp_s has been conducted in a green single step and thoroughly characterized. <em>In- vivo</em> assessment of anti-inflammatory bio-efficacy has been carried out using carrageenan induced hind paw edema in <em>Swiss albino</em> mice model. Anti-inflammation bio-efficacy of native seed extract (15 mg/kg/bw) was found 46.84% which was further elevated and further rose to 56.10% by saponin at considerable low optimized dose (1.5 mg/kg/bw). Anti-inflammatory bio-efficacy was further successfully enhanced to (70.99%) by S@AgNp_s, almost close to that of reference drug (Diclofenac sodium; 76.42%). Saponin loaded silver nanoparticles (S@AgNp_s) prepared from the seed extract of the plant <em>M. longifolia </em>seem to be an ideal candidate for the development of complimentary herbal nanomedicine for anti-inflammation. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_69788_d92dcc6fef92c7afd3b5580ad13e9060.pdf Madhuca longifolia Green synthesis Saponin loaded silver nanoparticles Enhanced anti-inflammatory activity eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2018-10-01 1 4 262 270 10.26655/ajnanomat.2018.9.6 69790 مقاله پژوهشی Mahdi Rezaei Sameti [email protected] 1 B.

The calculated results indicate that the adsorption of Cd+2 is exothermic in thermodynamic approach. With adsorbing Cd+2 ion the electrical and optical properties of system alter significantly from original state. Inspection of quantum, natural bond orbital (NBO) and reduced density gradient (RDG) results confirm that the pristine and doped BNNTs are a good candidate to making sensor and adsorbent of Cd+2 in biological and environmental system. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_69790_0ea20aab00814ea16dbbb10486d15303.pdf BNNTs Adsorption Cd+2 DFT RDG eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2018-10-01 1 4 271 281 10.26655/ajnanomat.2018.9.7 69363 مقاله پژوهشی Iran Sheikhshoaie [email protected] 1 Azimeh Rezazadeh [email protected] 2 Samaneh Ramezanpour [email protected] 3 Department of Chemistry, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, 76175, Iran Department of Chemistry, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, 76175, Iran | Young Research Society, Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman, Kerman, Iran.

Nano Co3O4/ZnO has been successfully synthesized by a simple and green gel combustion method followed by calcination at 600 o C. Sugar was used as fuel for combustion in this work. The nano Co3O4–ZnO was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy Dispersive X-Ray analysis (EDAX) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Co3O4–ZnO was applied as an adsorbent to remove lead from aqueous solution.EDAX strongly proved the adsorption of lead on the surface of Co3O4-ZnO adsorbent. By increasing the amount of ZnO on the structure of the Co3O4-ZnO samples, the adsorption of Pb2+ on the surface was increased too. The SEM images also help the confirmation of lead adsorption on the surface of as synthesized samples. The concentrations of remained Pb2+ ions were also measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and reported in terms of removal efficiency. https://www.ajnanomat.com/article_69363_c386fbf81be5773f9e9f23de6c77a743.pdf Gel combustion Adsorption Lead removal Nanosized Co3O4/ZnO eng Sami Publishing Company (SPC) Asian Journal of Nanosciences and Materials 2645-775X 2588-669X 2018-10-01 1 4 282 293 10.26655/ajnanomat.2018.9.8 69911 مقاله پژوهشی Mohamed A Morsi [email protected] 1 Essam hassan Gomaa [email protected] 2 Alaa S Nageeb [email protected] 3 Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, 35516- Mansoura, Egypt Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, 35516- Mansoura, Egypt Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Mansoura University, 35516- Mansoura, Egypt The redox behavior for nano cadmium chloride (Ncc) was studied using cyclic voltammetry in the absence and presence of isatin (Isa.) on the use carbon glassy electrode (CGE) prepared in laboratory in 0.1M KCl electrolytic solution at two different temperatures .
