Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles by two different methods & comparison of their structural, antibacterial, photocatalytic and optical properties

Md. Jahidul Haque, Md Masum Bellah, Md Rakibu Hassan et al. · 16 Mar 2020

Abstract In this work, two different methods (sol-gel and biosynthesis) were adopted for the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles. The leaf extract of Azadirachta Indica (Neem) was utilized in the biosynthesis scheme. Structural, antibacterial, photocatalytic and optical performances of the two variants were analyzed. Both variants demonstrated a wurtzite hexagonal structure. The biosynthesized variant…

Structural and optical properties of zirconium oxide (ZrO<sub>2</sub>) nanoparticles: effect of calcination temperature

N. C. Horti, M. D. Kamatagi, S.K. Nataraj et al. · 3 Apr 2020

Abstract In this article, we report the structural and optical properties of zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) nanoparticles synthesized via chemical co-precipitation method. The effect of calcination temperature on structural and optical properties of ZrO 2 nanoparticles is investigated through XRD, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence emission and life time measurements. XRD spectrum reveals…

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Zinc Oxide nanoparticles of various shapes under different reaction conditions

Sonima Mohan, Mini Vellakkat, Arun Aravind et al. · 5 Nov 2020

Abstract Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal method under different conditions and studied various properties. FTIR studies proved the presence of ZnO bonding and purity of the samples. Grain size was found to be decreased with the increase of reaction temperature and increased with reaction time. TEM images show formation of nanorods under…

Green synthesis of copper nanoparticles using leaf extract of Ageratum houstonianum Mill. and study of their photocatalytic and antibacterial activities

Sandip Kumar Chandraker, Mishri Lal, Mithun Kumar Ghosh et al. · 29 Apr 2020

Abstract The novel copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized using aqueous leaf extract of Ageratum houstonianum Mill. (AHLE). The green synthesized AH-CuNPs have a useful dye degradation property in the existence of daylight. The photocatalytic activity of AH-CuNPs was evaluated against an azo dye congo red (CR), whereas, same NPs displayed no effect on other dyes.…

Progress in micro/nano sensors and nanoenergy for future AIoT-based smart home applications

Ahmed Haroun, Xianhao Le, Shan Gao et al. · 31 Mar 2021

Abstract Self-sustainable sensing systems composed of micro/nano sensors and nano-energy harvesters contribute significantly to developing the internet of things (IoT) systems. As one of the most promising IoT applications, smart home relies on implementing wireless sensor networks with miniaturized and multi-functional sensors, and distributed, reliable, and sustainable power sources, namely energy harvesters with a variety…

Nano Express template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Nano Express format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Nano Express template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Nano Express use?
Nano Express uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Nano Express 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Nano Express?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Nano Express document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Nano Express template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Nano Express format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Nano Express?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Nano Express PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Nano Express template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Nano Express template cost?
You can start writing in the Nano Express template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Nano Express PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
