Self-organized (PS) can be used in various fields. The deposition of metal nanoparticles (Ni) allows utilizing the obtained nano-composite for numerous applications such as sensor technology, biomedicine, and many more. (Ni/PS) nano-composite powders are prepared using Ni deposition on the PS powder surface. The (Ni/PS) powders became hydrophilic by the deposited Ni nanoparticles. At the different percentages of (Ni: PS), at a higher percentage than (3:1) the values of the crystallite size of Ni and PS are nearly equivalent which suggests the saturation case of PS surface by Ni particles. It also depends on the deposition time value. In this study, that is the commercialization of nanostructured materials, it is important that the manufacturing costs are appropriate and inexpensive for large scale production, in addition, the enhancement of the photoluminescence intensity of (PS).

The continuous misuse and overutilization of antibiotics participate mainly in the emergence of microbial resistance. To circumvent such a multidrug-resistance phenomenon, well-defined nanocomposite structures have recently been employed. In the current study, a facile, novel and cost-effective approach was applied to synthesize Ag@Ag2O core–shell nanocomposites (NCs) via chemical method. Several techniques were used to determine the structural, morphological, and optical characteristics of the as-prepared NCs. XRD, Raman, FTIR, XPS and SAED analysis revealed a crystalline hybrid structure of Ag core and Ag2O shell. Besides, SEM and HRTEM micrographs depicted spherical nanoparticles with size range of 19–60 nm. Additionally, zeta potential and fluorescence spectra illustrated aggregated nature of Ag@A...

Chemical route was utilized as the host material to achieve pores filling. They were impregnated with Congo red, which gave good results for the porous silicon as a promising pH sensor. The behavior of (nPS/CR) pH sensor, transformation of color (red-blue), is reversible after exposure to NH3 vapors, (red-blue-red). The ON/OFF behavior of the composite material depends upon the chemical processes occurring inside the pores. The fabrication of (nPS/CR) pH sensor depends on several factors {CR concentration, solvent type, and the chemical mechanism of CR adsorption on PS}.

This research work is concerned with the preparation of silica nanoparticles by wet alkali chemical etching technique of commercial silicon powder using (KOH, n-propanol and water). The synthesized nanoparticles were systematically characterized by XRD, FTIR and PL spectroscopy. The XRD results revealed the amorphous nature of silica nanoparticles. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the presence of Si-O in all the samples. PL spectra have shown emission band at around 516 nm. Then, nanosilica is promise material for the realization of light-emitting silica-based optoelectronic devices.

The optimum conditions for the Ni(II) ion adsorption capacity of the NPS powder were studied in detail by varying parameters such as the initial Ni(II) concentration, the solution pH value, the adsorption temperature and contact time. The results indicated that the maximum adsorption capacity and the maximum removal percent of Ni(II) reached 2665.33 mg/g and 82.6%, respectively, at an initial Ni(II) concentration of 100 mg/L, adsorption time of 30 min and no effect of the solution pH and adsorption temperature.

Various characterization techniques {X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectrum, and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy} are used for the description of the product’s properties. The NPS product is a new environmentally friendly material used as an adsorbent agent for the acidic azo-dye, Congo red dye. The structural and free volume changes in NPS powder are probed using positron annihilation lifetime (PALS) and positron annihilation Doppler broadening (PADB) techniques. In addition, the mean free volume (VF), as well as fractional free volume (Fv), are also studied via the PALS results. Additionally, the PADB provides a clear relationship between the core and valence electrons changes, and, in addition, the number of defect ...

The basic factor on which the selection process depends is the structural form, which is dependent on the various physical and chemical properties. One of the common methods in preparing pure silica is that it needs more than one stage to ensure the preparation process completion.

In addition, the used materials in the preparation process are environmentally friendly materials that produce no harmful residues. The powder product is characterized using XRD, FTIR, Raman spectrum and SEM for determining the shape of architectures. The most significant factor of the nucleation ...
