CDs possess remarkable attributes, including photoluminescence, electrochemical potential, compatibility with living organisms, solubility in water, chemical stability, and versatile surface properties. The chemical structure, particle size, and surface functionalities of CDs all have an impact on their photoluminescent properties, which are the focus of this review. The photoluminescence mechanism in CDs is discussed, highlighting their amorphous structure, and comparing them to graphene quantum dots. The paper delves into the application of CDs in artificial photosynthesis, which enhances crop growth by improving the photo-synthesis process. CDs increase sunlight and carbon dioxide absorption rates by interacting with plant leaves, potentially leading to substantial crop yield improvements. The advantages of CDs in artificial photosynthesis are explored, including their modifiable absorption characteristics across the ultraviolet to near-infrared spectrum. The paper acknowledges challenges in CD production, such as size control and aggregation, while emphasizing their potential in various fields, including sensing, bioimaging, energy devices, and catalysis. CDs' unique optical properties and versatile applications suggest a promising future for these nanostructures in numerous scientific and technological domains.","PeriodicalId":502897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals","volume":"52 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140231318","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}

Mineralogical characterization of the ore sample was conducted using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction, whereas chemical composition was determined by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), respectively. An atmospheric leaching test was done with the variables of acid concentration, leaching duration of 90 min, and leaching temperature of 100℃. Limonite ore samples contain goethite, gibbsite, talc, quartz, and lizardite. It was revealed that as much as 92.22% of Ni and 90.14% of Fe could be leached using 3 M HCl, whereas only 63.14% of Ni and 38.74% of Fe could be extracted from limonite ore using 3 M HNO3. The higher leaching degree of Fe in HCl indicates low selectivity with Ni, which might contaminate pregnant leach solution (PLS), leading to further complications in the purification process. Results of the leaching experiment show that goethite was more easily dissolved in HCl than in HNO3.","PeriodicalId":502897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Metals, Materials and Minerals","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140230349","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}

However, increasing boric acid/glutinous rice flour ratio reduces density and flexural strength. The 5.45 wt% carbon content was sufficient to remove the oxide layer of the SiC surface and improve the properties of SiC ceramic.

The process begins with the preparation of a high-concentration masterbatch of LLDPE with nucleating agents and polyethylene glycol (PEG), followed by blown film and test analysis. The results showed that both single and hybrid nucleating agents resulted in substantial modifications in the surface characteristics of the film. The altered surface texture of the film makes fat stains easy to remove. In addition, the use of hybrid nucleating agents resulted in considerable roughness on the film's surface. It can calculate the average roughness (Ra) from atomic force microscopy (AFM) images, which is very low at 4.7 nm, and the roughness is consistent. The contact angle was 99.17 degrees, and the percentage of crystallinity was clearly higher than that of a single nucleating agent. As a result, the fat stains on the film surface are easier to remove. The visual appearance, morphology, functional group, and mechanical properties of the films, on the other hand, were not significantly different.
