Enhanced photo-catalytic activity of Sr and Ag co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles for the degradation of Direct Green-6 and Reactive Blue-160 under UV & visible light

Enhanced performance of dye-sensitized solar cells aided by Sr,Cr co-doped TiO 2 xerogel films made of uniform spheres

“…They reported that the films had high photocatalytic activity and clearly responsive to the visible light. Naraginti et al [10] showed that silver and strontium co-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles had higher catalytic activity in visible region in comparison to Ag-doped and undoped TiO 2 nanoparticles, attributing to the interactive effect caused by band gap narrowing and enhancement in charge separation. Kato and Kudo [11] reported that TiO 2 co-doped with antimony and chromium showed intense absorption bands in the visible light region and possessed 2.2 and 2.4 eV of energy gaps, respectively.…”

Tyrosine mediated synthesis of SnO2 nanoparticles and their photocatalytic activity towards Violet 4 BSN dye

“…Measurement of TOC suggested that at discoloration of dye solution 77.2% TOC mineralized after 40 min of UV irradiation and it was 83.3% after 120 min of irradiation. It may be improved by doping with rear earth elements [28,29]. Based on the present study, SnO 2 NPs can be considered as an efficient photocatalyst in the degradation of textile dyes in the coming days and will solve the huge environmental pollution caused by numerous textile industries throughout India as well as other countries.…”

Simultaneous transcriptome and proteome analysis of EA.hy926 cells under stress conditions induced by nanomaterials

“…The vast number of diverse nano-scale materials such as nanotubes (NTs), nanoparticles (NPs), or quantum dots (QDs) have found their applications in industry, electronics, pharmacy, biomedical engineering, medicine, and many others. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Due to the great potential of nanomaterials (NMs) in overcoming problems faced by their bulk counterparts, at present they are of great interest to scientists, in particular with respect to the treatment and diagnosis of various types of diseases. Unfortunately, the increasing risk of exposure to these nanoparticles due to ever-growing number of their applications, poses the allimportant question-are these materials absolutely safe?…”
