FTIR analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of metal oxides into the DES matrix, evidenced by characteristic metal-oxygen (W-O and Mo-O) stretching vibrations observed within the 947-767 cm-1 and functional group interactions. Scanning electron microscopy imaging revealed agglomerated, irregularly shaped particles with porous morphologies, while energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy confirmed the homogeneous distribution of W and Mo within the composite. X-Ray diffraction patterns indicated a predominantly amorphous structure with broad peaks corresponding to semicrystalline tungsten and molybdenum oxide phases. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy showed strong absorption in the 259-476 nm range, confirming efficient light-induced activation. The nanocomposites exhibited excellent photochromic performance, transitioning rapidly from cream-yellow to blue within three seconds under UV exposure, and reversibly fading in an oxygen-rich environment within 50 min. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) further revealed that the W-Mo (0.8:0.2) composite had the lowest charge transfer resistance, enhancing electron transport and accelerating photo-switching behaviour. The combined structural, optical, and electrochemical properties of these materials underscore their promise for use in smart windows, UV sensors, and dynamic display technologies.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://or.niscpr.res.in/index.php/IJCT/article/download/22701/5354","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147381589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modified titanium sheets are characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact angle measurement. The effects of modified titanium sheets coated with P3 on the adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells are investigated. Amino acid analysis showed that the hydrophobic amino acids and aromatic amino acids are enriched in P3. After being coated with P3, the surface nitrogen content of titanium sheets is significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner. The contact angle and surface hydrophobicity of titanium sheets are significantly changed (p < 0.05). In addition, the adhesion and proliferation activity of MC3T3-E1 cells on titanium sheets are significantly enhanced by P3 coating (p < 0.05). Further studies indicated that P3 coating increased the expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, consequently promoting the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface of titanium sheets. In conclusion, P3 coating enhances the surface hydrophobicity, leading to a significant increase in the cell adhesion, consequently promoting the differentiation and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells on the surface titanium sheets, suggesting that P3 may serve as a coating material for titanium-based implants to facilitate fracture healing and other applications.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://or.niscpr.res.in/index.php/IJCT/article/download/9222/2634","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147909435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Series of ZrO2 aerogels have been synthesized with sol-gel method by ethanol supercritical drying and characterized by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. Nitrogen adsorption-desorption measurements have been used to characterize the specific surface area. The effect of H+ concentration on the crystallinity of zirconia has also been studied. The prepared ZrO2 aerogels with low density, low thermal conductivity, and high specific area can make them promising candidates for a wide array of multifunctional applications, e.g., catalyst support, energy conversion, and thermal insulation.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://or.niscpr.res.in/index.php/IJCT/article/download/539/2632","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147912026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The source of the green inhibitor is the Salsola oppositifolia plant, from which the method of obtaining the green inhibitor extract is studied. The obtained extract is studied as a green inhibitor in 0.5 M HCl solution for corrosion protection of carbon steel structures. In determining the efficacy of a green inhibitor derived from the Salsola oppositifolia plant, practical experiments have been performed at two different temperatures (298 K and 313 K) and at different concentrations (200 mg/L , 400 mg/L, 600 mg/L, and 1000 mg/L). Adsorption of green inhibitor on steel surface has been studied using Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. The effect of temperature and concentration on the corrosion rate is also studied. The gravimetric method is used to determine the effectiveness of the green inhibitor and it is found that its maximum concentration is 91.86%. The mechanism of action of the steel surface and a post-experimental steel sample are studied by scanning electron microscope analysis. Salsola oppositifolia extract is a good green inhibitor due to the presence of hetero atomic organic compounds in the main component.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135611975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To meet fossil fuel demand in the future, alternative fuel for diesel fuel is necessary. The technique for engine modification is also considered as the latest advance in engine research aimed to complete combustion. The engine has been coated with a mixture of a ceramic thermal barrier material of 88% Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ), 4% Magnesium oxide (MgO), and 8% Titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) of 150 μ m thickness by the plasma spray process. After engine modification, the coated engine has been analyzed with the mixing of Copper oxide (CuO) nanoadditive to the B20 Punnai Methyl Ester. The structural and chemical constituents of the biofuel are determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography. The test result noted that brake thermal efficiency is increased by 17.14% for the coated engine as compared to the uncoated engine. The brake specific fuel consumption for the tested fuel used in the coated engine is decreased by 11.16%. Engine emission parameters are reduced especially oxides of nitrogen (NO x ) emission of 10.84% for the tested fuel in the coated engine.","PeriodicalId":13388,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Chemical Technology","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135660850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
