TiO2 nanopowders with Mn concentration of 0%,0.2%, 1% and 5% were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The structural, surface morphologyand average crystal grain size, optical, magnetic properties and chemical compounds of thesamples are studied using XRD, FE-SEM, Uv-Vis, VSM and EDX analysis respectively. The resultsindicate that the samples are crystallized at anatase phase. Also, the average size of thenanoparticles is decreased by increasing Mn doping percent. The study of the optical propertiesshows that the absorption maximum dislocates toward higher wavelengths by adding Mnto the sample. This shift may be ascribed to the enhanced trapped electron absorption causedby the Mn-doped ions. The optical energy band gap of the doping samples shows significantreduction rather the pure state. The samples show significant paramagnetic behavior whenthe Mn concentration is 5%. Manuscript profile -

Cellulose nanoparticles(nano cellulose) were extracted from cinnamon for the first time. The chemically-induceddestruction strategy based on controlled strong acid hydrolysis treatment was used for dissolutionof lignin and fragmentation of cellulose to nano sized structure. The products werecharacterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforminfrared (FT-IR), UV-Vis and Mass spectroscopy. SEM images demonstrated the cellulosenanoparticles production. Size distribution histogram which was obtained from the SEM imageshowed that nanoparticles size were less than 100 nm with average size about 50 nm. XRDanalysis showed amorphous structure of nanoparticles. Chemical structures and functionalgroup of cellulose nanoparticles approved using FT-IR. UV-VIS spectrum of macro cellulose,micro cellulose and nano cellulose were done in water, acetone and acetic acid. These spectrumsillustrate the same absorption for tree materials in agues, organic and acidic solventsapproving the stability of structures and maintaining molecular structure during making nanocellulose. Mass spectroscopy peaks are in good agreement with the structure of the celluloseand its fragmentation during analysis. Manuscript profile -

Alireza Hakimyfard Shahin Khademinia Masumeh RahimkhaniNanostructured As2Ni3O8 samples were synthesized via facile solid-state reactions at 850 and 950 °C for 8h using As2O3, Ni(CH3COO)2.2H2O and Ni(NO3)2.6H2O raw materials.

The synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique and fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The rietveld analyses showed that the obtained materials were crystallized well in monoclinic crystal structure with the space group P121/c1. The lattice parameters of the targets were about a = 5.76 Å, b = 9.54 Å and c = 10.18 Å with β = 92.95 °. It was found that nickel nitrate created a highly crystalline and pure As2Ni3O8 structure. However, nickel acetate created the target with lower purity and crystal phase growth; it produced the samples with smaller crystallite sizes. Reaction temperature changing showed that the parameter affected on the crystal growth of the obtained materials. The morphologies of the synthesized materials were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) technique. Ultraviolet-visible spectra showed that the synthesized As2Ni3O8 nanomaterials had strong light absorption in the ultraviolet-visible light region. The direct optical band gaps were 2.6 and 2.5 eV for S1 and S3, respectively. The data showed that the band gaps were decreased by increasing the reaction temperature. This is due to the increasing the crystallite sizes of the obtained materials. Manuscript profile -

X- ray diffraction, Fourier transform Infra Red ,field emission scanning electron microscopy, EDX and ICP analysis confirmed the structure and composition of the samples. The x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) showed that all samples prepared were about Wurtzite structure and average crystal size of 17nm. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis revealed the spherical shape of all samples. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) revealed bands at 435 cm-1, 480 cm-1 and 525 cm-1 are related to Zn-O bonds, related to the stretching vibrating bonds of ZnO. The results illustrated the Ni and Co ions substituted the Zn ions in ZnO crystal lattice successfully. The results showed that some of doped Ni-Co ZnO exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity , as compared to pure ZnO. Kinetic of de-colorization process for all photo-catalysts followed psedu first order. In degradation process The best photocatlyst was (Zn0.95Ni0.04Co0.01O). Manuscript profile -

The nanocomposite was quenching the natural fluorescence of HSA, which was indicated the static quenching mechanism. The consequences demonstrated that this nanocomposite can strongly bind to HSA molecules. According to fluorescence quenching computations, the bimolecular quenching constant (kq), apparent quenching constant (KSV) at various temperatures was calculated (288, 298, 310 k). The binding constants Kb were 12187.09 L mol−1, 62849.24 L mol−1 and 350429 L mol−1 at 288 K, 298 K and 310 K respectively, and the number of binding sites n is almost >1. competitive results show that the binding site of nanocomposite placed in subdomain ІІІA (site ІІ) of HSA. The thermodynamic parameters defined by the Van’t Hoff analysis of the binding constants (ΔH 113.211 kJ mol−1 and ΔS 471.4703 J mol−1 K−1) clearly illustrated that the hydrophobic force plays a major role in the process. To compare binding behavior and mechanism of the antiviral drug which was loaded on Fe3O4@CaAl LDH with HSA, we carried out fluorescence and UV-Visible spectroscopy to investigate the interactions of Fe3O4@CaAl LDH@ Lamivudine with HSA.

The Ni/NiO nanocomposites were characterized with Fourier transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray fluorescence (XRF). Results of XRD and XRF confirmed that the nanocomposite products contain a mixture of nickel and nickel oxide. The Ni or NiO content varied with the temperature used for the synthesis. Upon increasing the temperature from 400 to 500°C, the amount of NiO was found to be increased due to a complete oxidation of Ni to NiO. The TEM images demonstrated that the composites were spherical with a distribution size of about 10-30 nm. In addition, the products displayed reasonable electrochemical performance.

The Ca/P molar ratio was maintained at 1.67. Then, the effect of different pH (4, 6, 8, 10, 11), different surfactants and different times for dialyses on nano HA rod were studied in this study. The samples were characterized by different techniques such as, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and Transmission electron microscopies. The XRD analysis showed that the prepared HA nano rod is fully crystalline. The results showed that the best pH for nano HA rod was 11 and Span 20 as the surfactant had the better effect on dispersion and shape of nano rod. The HA nano-rods had an average diameter of 10 nm and length of 70-80 nm after 12 h of dialyses time. Manuscript profile -

Afterwards, efficiency of the as-synthesized CdIS-CdS nanocomposite in quantum dot-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs) was evaluated. For this purpose, the as-prepared CdIS-CdS nanocomposites were deposited on TiO2 by doctor’s blade technique and electrophoresis deposition was used for fabrication of TiO2 layer on the FTO glass substrate. Using CdIS-CdS nanocomposite led to obtaining 1.71% cell efficiency that in comparison with pure CdS (0.97%) and CdIn2S4 nanoparticles (95%), efficiency improvements of 76% and 80% were respectively achieved.
