The material consists of multiferroic nanoparticles of bismuth ferrite (BFO) modified through the growth of the Fe-based MIL-101 framework. Material characterization, conducted using various techniques (X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, FTIR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies), confirmed the growth of the MIL-101 metal–organic framework on the BFO surface. The obtained system possesses the intrinsic photo-degradative properties of BFO nanoparticles significantly enhanced by the presence of MIL-101. The photocatalytic activity of this material was tested in antibacterial experiments conducted under natural sunlight exposure within the nanocomposite concentration range of 100–0.20 µg/ml. The MIL-modified BFO showed a significant decrease in both Minimum Inhibiting Concentration and Minimum Bactericide Concentration values compared to bare nanoparticles. This confirms the photo-activating effect of the MIL-101 modification. In particular, they show an increased antimicrobial activity against the tested Gram-positive species and the ability to begin to inhibit the growth of the four <i>Escherichia coli</i> strains, although at the maximum concentration tested. These results suggest that the new nanocomposite BiFeO<sub>3</sub>@MOF has been successfully developed and has proven to be an effective antibacterial agent against a wide range of microorganisms and a potential candidate in disinfection processes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":715,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10495303/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10243424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, Fabry–Perot resonators comprising metal and semiconductor thin films have been employed for spectrally selective light absorption. In such resonators, the resonance wavelength can be altered via structural modifications. The research has progressed further with the advent of specialized patterning of thin films and the utilization of metasurfaces. Nonetheless, achieving dynamic tuning of the absorption wavelength without altering the geometry of the thin film or without resorting to lithographic fabrication still poses a challenge. In this study, the incorporation of a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) architecture into the Fabry–Perot nanocavity is shown to yield dynamic spectral tuning in a perfect narrowband light absorber within the visible range. Such spectral tuning is achieved using n-type-doped indium antimonide and n-type-doped indium arsenide as semiconductors in a MOS-type structure. These semiconductors offer significant tuning of their optical properties via electrically induced carrier accumulation. The planar structure of the absorber models presented facilitates simple thin-film fabrication. With judicious material selection and appropriate bias voltage, a spectral shift of 47 nm can be achieved within the visible range, thus producing a discernible color change.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":715,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.703,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-023-03879-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4444599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additionally, this dye can impede photosynthesis and disrupt the growth and development of plants.

The Pechini sol–gel method plays a crucial role in the production of barium titanate nanoparticles due to its simplicity and ability to precisely control the crystallite size. The synthesized barium titanate nanoparticles were characterized by several instruments, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and a diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer. The XRD analysis confirmed that the mean crystallite size of the EA600 and EA800 samples is 14.83 and 22.27 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the HR-TEM images confirmed that the EA600 and EA800 samples exhibit irregular and polyhedral structures, with mean diameters of 45.19 and 72.83 nm, respectively.

However, the interaction of negatively charged oligonucleotides with halogenated small molecules represents a scientific challenge. Here, we introduced a distinct allyl bromide halogenated scaffold, which exhibits specific interaction with adenine nucleic bases of the oligonucleotides, thus leading to the formation of self-assembled nanostructures.\u0000</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":715,"journal":{"name":"Nanoscale Research Letters","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.703,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s11671-023-03846-0.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4131143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
