Box: 395, Ethiopia. 10.26655/ajnanomat.2018.9.1 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.

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.

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 Madhuca longifolia and its significant enhancement by bio-active principle (saponin) loaded silver nanoparticles (S@AgNps). A family of four saponins has been explored quantified (3.59%) and characterized (Micro Mass ESI-TOF MS spectra). Synthesis of S@AgNps has been conducted in a green single step and thoroughly characterized. In- vivo assessment of anti-inflammatory bio-efficacy has been carried out using carrageenan induced hind paw edema in Swiss albino 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@AgNps, almost close to that of reference drug (Diclofenac sodium; 76.42%). Saponin loaded silver nanoparticles (S@AgNps) prepared from the seed extract of the plant M. longifolia seem to be an ideal candidate for the development of complimentary herbal nanomedicine for anti-inflammation.

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.

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.
