In this innovative research, we explored the detailed optical, dielectric, and rheological properties of silver ions conducting green NFs. These NFs comprise ethylene glycol (EG) as viscous base fluid, suspension of a fixed amount (0.02 wt%) aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles for high performance thermal conductor, and addition of silver nitrate (AgNO₃) salt as the ionic component of varying amounts ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 wt% are prepared and investigated. The detailed analysis of 200–800 nm wavelength range ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) absorbance spectra of these EG–Al₂O₃/AgNO₃ based NFs demonstrated their significant photosensitivity character in the visible region, radiations shielding performance in the UV region, and trio energy band gaps in a wide semiconducting range from 2.4 to 4.9 eV which are found adequately tunable with the AgNO₃ concentrations. The high static dielectric permittivity (ε_s ≈ 40) of these polar NFs, at 298.15 K, showed a marginal change with the variation in AgNO₃ concentrations confirming a little alteration in the parallel aligned dipole ordering of hydrogen bonded EG molecular network beside the ion-molecules-nanoparticle interactions and formation of ion-dipole complexes (coordinative interaction). The electrical conductivity of EG–Al₂O₃ NF increased by three orders of magnitude i.e., from 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻³ S/cm, at the initial addition of 0.2 wt% AgNO₃ in it and then, exhibited almost a linear increase with further increasing the salt concentrations up to 2.0 wt% realizes them promising ionic nanofluids. Rheological investigations on these NF samples, at 298.15 K, validate their Newtonian behaviour with a high dynamic viscosity of 14 mPa s.

Unlike previous reviews, this review delves deeply into property changes and possible mechanisms of ZnO-based photocatalysts induced by various dopants. ZnO-based photocatalysts are commonly doped with other semiconductors, metals, and non-metallic dopants. Semiconductor dopants such as titanium dioxide (TiO₂), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄), and iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) significantly modify the band gap and broaden the spectral response range of ZnO photocatalysts. Metallic dopants, including silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and cobalt (Co), introduce plasmonic effects that enhance the electrical conductivity and photocatalytic activity. Conversely, non-metallic dopants, especially carbon nanomaterials and sulfur (S), enable the adjustment of the band gap and surface properties of ZnO.

Nitric acid (HNO₃) was used to chemically modify the plant material. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were utilized to analyze the modified bio adsorbents (TG and MI). The adsorbents' ideal specific surface area and pore volume were measured using the N₂ adsorption/desorption technique through detailed characterization. The efficiency of the adsorbents in eliminating the MB dye was investigated in relation to the effects of adsorbent dose (2–10 mg), pH (3, 7 and 10), exposure time (10–90 min), temperature (30 °C, 50 °C and 70 °C), and dye concentration (20–100 mg/L) through batch adsorption studies. The models proposed by Langmuir, Freundlich, and Dubinin Raduskevich (D-R) could explain the binding results for MB on TG and MI. The adsorption process were more in line with the Langmuir model than the other models. At neutral pH (7), TG showed maximum percentage removal of 73.12 % whereas, MI powder showed a maximum percentage removal of 50.5 %. Time and adsorbent dosage have both led to an increase in the percentage of methylene blue elimination. The experimental results were confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which revealed energy gaps (ΔE) of 4.57 eV and 7.882 eV for MB and TG/MI, respectively. Following complexation, a change of 16.56 eV was observed, indicating a stronger MB adsorption tendency across the modified TG/MI surface. The primary components of the mechanism of MB adsorption include hydrogen bonds, n-π, π-π, and electrostatic interactions, as per the results of <em>Monte Carlo</em> <strong><em>(</em></strong>MC) simulation calculations. According to our findings, TG and MI are affordable biomaterials for treating wastewater in an ecologically responsible and green manner.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100614,"journal":{"name":"Hybrid Advances","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100316"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142445521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A solution of 0.1 M silver nitrate (AgNO₃) in an ethanolic medium was microwave-irradiated to produce Ag-NSs. PVP was used as a stabilising agent throughout the process.

The deposited films were examined for LPG leakage detection at ambient temperature. This is the first report on monometallic Ag-NSs for leakage detection of LPG at room temperature operation below its lower explosive limit (LEL). The significant finding of the developed sensor is that it prompts the quick response (∼16 s) and recovery (∼64 s) as Ag enhances the reaction rate between the sensing film surface and adsorbed LPG, thereby, augments the sensitivity of sensor even below LEL.
