The X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) studies reveals Cubic structure for undoped and Aluminum doped ZnS NPs. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images shows formation of smooth surfaced ZnS NPs and average particles size was found in the range of 17 nm from the result the Aluminum doped ZnS were influenced to increase ZnS NPs particle size. The disk diffusion method was used to screen the antimicrobial activity of Aluminum doped ZnS NPs against different gram positive, gram negative bacterial and fungus culture from this investigation Aluminum doped ZnS NPs have potential antimicrobial agent which was show excellent zone of inhibition (ZoI) at different concentration against all tested microorganisms.","PeriodicalId":18967,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Reports","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77268605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanotextiles can be produced by a variety of methods. The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. Changed or improved properties with nanotechnology can provide new or enhanced functionalities. Nanotechnology is a growing interdisciplinary technology and seen as a new industrial revolution. The future success of nanotechnology in textile applications lies in the areas where new principles will be combined into durable and multi-functional textile systems without compromising the inherent properties. The advances in nanotechnology have created enormous opportunities and challenges for the textile industry, including the cotton industry.","PeriodicalId":18967,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Reports","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79338027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The photocatalytic activity of Zn-Ce MO nano-sized hallow sphere was examined by studying the degradation of direct blue 71 (DB71) under visible light irradiations in a slurry photoreactor. The effect of parameters such as the catalyst dosage, concentration of the dye, pH and kinetics on photocatalytic degradation of DB71 is also studied. Degradation of dye was confirmed by UV-VIS spectrum, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and ESI-Mass.","PeriodicalId":18967,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Reports","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81786239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
