UV-Visible spectra of the synthesized nanoparticle showed maximum absorption at 400 nm. Crystalline nature of silver nanoparticle was confirmed by XRD pattern. Through TEM, average size of AgNPs was observed as 51.2 nm. FTIR indicated participation of various functional groups of flower extract in the formation of nanoparticles. In DLS study, AgNPs of size 121 nm showed 100% intensity. Zeta potential was recorded as −1.24 mV. Strong peak of silver was observed in EDX study. AgNPs alone showed effective inhibition against all pathogenic bacteria taken as test organisms, but its combination with the antibiotics showed considerable enhancement in antibacterial activity. Inhibition for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was maximum when nanoparticles were taken in the combination of antibiotics and the extract. Significant antioxidant potential of AgNPs were observed in DPPH, ascorbic acid and DNA nicking assays. Thus, AgNPs of Wedelia chinensis flower extract showed significant medicinal efficacy as antioxidant and antibacterial.","PeriodicalId":501827,"journal":{"name":"Nano Express","volume":"51 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504644","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}

In this study, we present a novel approach for detecting resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium known for its metallo-β-lactamase production during the development of antibiotic resistance. We have designed an aptasensor employing Förster resonance energy transfer utilising two distinct methodologies. Initially, indium phosphide quantum dots with a zinc sulphide shell, and gold nanoparticles were utilised as the Förster resonance energy transfer donor-acceptor pair. Although this system demonstrated a response, the efficiency was low. Subsequently, optimisation involved relocating the donor and acceptor in close proximity and incorporating two quantum dots with varying emission wavelengths as the acceptor and donor. This optimisation significantly enhanced the Förster resonance efficiency, resulting in a novel method for detecting metallo-β-lactamase. Förster resonance energy transfer efficiency was increased from 31% to 63% by optimising the distance and donor using a quantum dot-quantum dot pair. Our findings showcase a cheap, rapid and versatile aptasensor with potential applications beyond antibiotic resistance, highlighting its adaptability for diverse scenarios.","PeriodicalId":501827,"journal":{"name":"Nano Express","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504646","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 passivation layers were subjected to annealing in various ambient, including oxygen (O2), nitrogen (N2), argon (Ar), and nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen (NON). The structural, morphological, compositional, topological, and optical properties of the passivation layers were characterized using various techniques. The obtained results indicate that the annealing ambient has a significant impact on the properties of Tb4O7 passivation layers. Annealing in Ar ambient leads to the formation of Tb4O7 with improved crystallinity close to 49.75 nm and higher surface roughness at (2.32 nm). In contrast, annealing in the O2 ambient results in broad GIXRD peaks with the lowest surface roughness around (1.34 nm). Notably, annealing in N2 ambient exhibits an intermediate behavior, with partial crystallized size values (31.80 nm) compared to the Tb4O7 passivation layer annealed in Ar ambient and moderate surface roughness. The optical bandgap (Eg) was estimated by applying the Kubelka–Munk (KM) approach and the obtained values were 3.28, 3.17, 2.37, and 2.27 eV for annealed in O2, N2, Ar, and NON ambients, respectively. The investigation of Tb4O7 as a passivation material expands the range of materials available for semiconductor device fabrication, offering potential advancements in optoelectronics applications. Therefore, the significance of this study lies in its contribution to the optimization of Tb4O7 passivation layers in the field of semiconductor device technology. Hence, the sample annealed in an Ar ambient demonstrated the best results in terms of structural, morphological, compositional, topological, and optical properties of Tb4O7 passivation layers as compared to other samples.","PeriodicalId":501827,"journal":{"name":"Nano Express","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141504647","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}

Consequently, monitoring its concentration in environmental water is important due to its suspected effect on human health and aquatic life. This study reported the extraction, preconcentration, separation and determination of metformin (MET) in waters. Dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE) using UiO-66@Fe3O4 nanocomposite as a sorbent was used to extract and preconcentrate MET. The high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) achieved the separation and quantification of MET in the samples. Experiemental design was used to optimise influential variables in the extraction and preconcentration of MET. The linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) for MET were 0.5–100 μg L−1 (R2 = 0.9987), 0.16 μg L−1 and 0.53 μg L−1, respectively. The intraday (n = 10 same-day replicates) and interday (n = 5 consecutive days) precisions reported as relative standard deviations (RSD %) were less than 5%. The accuracy of the method expressed as percentage recovery (%R) ranged from 84 to 112%. The method was applied to extract and preconcentrate MET in wastewater and river water samples. The MET was detected in greater concentrations in wastewater than in river water samples. The validation based on specificity, trueness, linearity, precision, and application to the analysis of MET in real samples showed that the combination of dSPE and HPLC-DAD methods is applicable for MET monitoring in surface water and wastewater. Furthermore, the dSPE/HPLC-DAD method was rapid, simple and suitable for estimating the concentrations of MET in South African surface water and wastewater for the first time. Lastly, the environmental risk caused by the occurrence of MET in surface water was investigated in terms of hazard quotient (HQ). The HQ values were less than unity, suggesting a low possibility risk for the aquatic organisms.","PeriodicalId":501827,"journal":{"name":"Nano Express","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140934884","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 influence of these factors was investigated ‘two factor at a time’, using interaction plots. Strong interaction was observed between all factors, with sodium hydroxide to have a crucial role.
