Electrodeposition Of Silver

A simple electrochemical method of synthesis of polypyrrole/silver (PPy/Ag) nanocomposite is presented. The method is based on potentiodynamic polymerization of pyrrole followed by electrodeposition of silver employing a single potentiostatic pulse. The synthesized PPy film has embedded Ag nanocubes. The morphology and structure of the resulting nanocomposite were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Electron paramagnetic resonance studies showed that silver nanoparticle deposition on polypyrrole leads to an increase in carrier density, indicative of enhanced conductivity of the resulting composite. Electrocatalytic performance of the prepared composite was examined for reduction of hydrogen peroxide and was compared with corresponding PPy film and bare glassy carbon electrode.

The electrospun nanosystems containing poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and 1 wt% Fe doped ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) (with the content of dopant in the range of 0–1 wt% Fe) deposited onto polylactic acid (PLA) film were prepared for food packaging application. They were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), antimicrobial analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) techniques. Migration studies conducted in acetic acid 3% (wt/wt) and ethanol 10% (v/v) food simulants as well as by the use of treated ashes with 3% HNO3 solution reveal that the migration of Zn and Fe falls into the specific limits imposed by the legislation in force. Results indicated that the PLA/PHBV/ZnO:Fex electrospun nanosystems exhibit excellent antibacterial activity against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC-27853) due to the generation of a larger amount of perhydroxyl (˙OOH) radicals as assessed using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy coupled with a spin trapping method.

Na-doped ZnO nanorods have been fabricated through a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses indicate that the d spacing of ZnO increases with increasing doping concentration, suggesting the effective incorporation of dopant Na in the samples. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements indicate that there are shallow donors in pure ZnO samples and the shallow donors are strongly prohibited by Na doping. In addition, the resonance at g = 2.005 suggests the formation of Zn vacancies. Magnetic measurements indicate that pure ZnO is paramagnetic and Na doping leads to ferromagnetism at room temperature. Moreover, 0.5% Na-doped ZnO nanorods exhibits the largest saturation magnetization.

Zn-Mn-O semiconductor crystallites with nominal manganese concentration x = 0.01, 0.02, 0.04 and 0.10 were synthesized by a solid state reaction route using oxalate precursors. Thermal treatment procedure was carried out in air at different temperatures in the range 400 - 900°C. The samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, magnetization measurements and electron paramagnetic resonance. X-ray analysis reveals that dominant crystal phase in the Zn-Mn-O system corresponds to the wurtzite structure of ZnO. Room temperature ferromagnetism is observed in the Zn-Mn-O samples with lower manganese concentration, x ≤ 0.04, thermally treated at low temperature (500°C). Saturation magnetization in the sample with x = 0.01 is found to be 0.05 μB/Mn. The ferromagnetic phase seems to be developed by Zn diffusion into Mn-oxide grains.

A new dinuclear Cu(ii) complex [Cu2Cl4(L1)2] (1) (L1 = 1-(2-picolyl)-4-hexyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole) has been synthesised and characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and powder XRD, thermogravimetric analysis, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum, photoluminescence, and magnetic measurements. Complex 1 shows double 1,2,3-triazoles bridging the dinuclear Cu2N4 moiety, in which the bridging N=N bond indicates basal-apical asymmetric mode with 112.6° torsion angle of Cu–N=N–Cu. Different from most azole-bridged dinuclear Cu(ii) with antiferromagnetic couplings, complex 1 shows an intramolecular weak ferromagnetic interaction (J = 0.91 cm–1).

In this work, a visible light-induced LaVO4/TiO2 composite has been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) to reveal the structure and visible light photocatalytic mechanism for the decompostion of benzene in gas-phase. Based on the experimental results, a visible light-induced photochemical processes on LaVO4/TiO2 are proposed and elucidated.

Paramagnetic Properties

A novel comparative study of paramagnetic properties of new silver- and gold-containing nanocomposites based on humic substances, extracted from medicinal muds, brown coal and shale deposits of Mongolia, has been carried out by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The change in the paramagnetic properties of metal nanocomposites obtained after metal introduction as compared with the starting substances has been found out. The dependence of stability, antioxidant activity and spin density on the nature and mass content of metal in the nanocomposites has been determined. Metal-containing nanocomposites are characterized by cw-EPR, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic absorption analysis. It is shown that the resulting magnetic bioactive nanocomposites are stable for a long period thus suggesting their prospective use in medicine.
