Among various nanoparticles silver sulfide nanoparticles have gained worldwide attention due to their assessment as an anti-microbial agent. The microstructure of nanostructured silver sulfide nanoparticles determine its electronic, structural, optical and electrical properties, and possible applications of silver sulfide nanoparticles in modern electronics, biology and medicine. The appearance of nonstoichiometry in silver sub-lattices of monoclinic silver sulfide at decreasing size particles to the nanometer scale is considered. The interdependent changes in non-stoichiometry and crystal structure at the transformation of a non- conducting nano crystalline silver sulfide in super-ionic conductors are also very important aspects in biosynthesis of Silver sulfide nanoparticles. The effect of nano crystalline state on the peculiarities of crystal structure, non-stoichiometry, optical and thermal properties of bio synthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles are explained. Silver sulfide nanoparticle have provide a significant role in the biomedical field for various application- oriented products such as IR cameras, solar panels, optical fiber and filters. Among modern biomedical potential of silver sulfide nanoparticles tremendous interest is oriented towards the therapeutically enhanced personalized health care practices. The biosynthesized silver sulfide nanoparticle using aqueous extract of Cinnamomum leaves has been documented in our present research work. The presence of secondary metabolites like flavonoid, tannins, steroid, cardiac glycosides, and alkaloids was confirmed by phytochemical analyses of the aqueous extract of Cinnamomum tamala leaves and these secondary metabolites can be used as reducing stabilizing and capping agent. After three months, the biosynthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles were found to be stable without the evidence of agglomeration at room temperature. Structural and morphological properties of Silver sulfide nanoparticles were analyzed by UV-VIS, FT-IR, XRD, EDX, TEM, and SEM spectroscopic techniques. The surface Plasmon resonance for Silver sulfide nanoparticles was obtained around 290nm. Biosynthesized Silver sulfide nanoparticles was spherical in shape with effective diameter size of 50nm.Our novel approach provides a promising and effective method to large scale synthesis of eco-friendly, and cost effective pharmacologically active silver sulfide nano particles.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47404067","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}

This optimization provided a normal distribution of homogenous, densely packed silicon nitride thin film free of surface cracks.. Atomic Force Microscopy was employed to explore the accurate surface roughness parameters of Silicon nitride thin films. The surface roughness and grain analysis for all samples exhibited a direct relation to each other and have an inverse correlation with the target to substrate spacing. The surface morphology of Si3N4 was analyzed by the following parameters; average roughness, root-mean square roughness, maximum peak to valley height, ten-point average roughness, skewness, and kurtosis of the line. The surface roughness of silicon nitride films has notable significance in the manufacturing of bio-sensor based on silicon nitride waveguides.","PeriodicalId":43605,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Optoelectronic and Biomedical Materials","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46569471","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}

State-of-the-art techniques were utilized for the characterization and measure the potential applications of ZnO-NPs. FTIR and SEM analysis were performed to confirm the nature of bonding and morphology of NPs. XRD analysis confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure and crystallite size (34 nm) of ZnONPs. EDX analysis was performed to check the purity of NPs. Energy band gap of valence band and conduction band was found 3.278 eV using UV/Visible spectrophotometry. Purified ZnO-NPs were utilized to determine the photocatalytic potential for degradation of hazardous dye (methylene blue) at λmax of 668 nm under irradiation of sunlight. The results indicated ∼92% photodecomposition of dye after 110 min of sunlight irradiation.

Application of nanoparticle-based polymer composites for indoor air quality maintenance was discussed, as were their production, hybrid functionalization, and feasible synthesis procedures (filter membrane). The batch foaming procedure has been used to create foam from the thermoplastic polymer polypropylene (PP). Foaming is a blown process, where carbon dioxide is utilised as the blowing agent. Nanoparticles of titanium oxide (nano TiO2) are also used for reinforcement. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilised to investigate the NTPMs' surface morphology, while other physio-chemical characteristics were investigated by means of various analytical methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics of water vapours were analysed to get insight into the water vapour adsorption characteristics of the NTPMs. The kinetics of adsorption pointed to a combination of intraparticle diffusion and liquid field driving processes for the transport of water vapours.
