AB  - Catalytic materials are the greatest challenge for the commercial application of water electrolysis (WEs) and fuel cells (FCs) as clean energy technologies. There is a need to find an alternative to expensive and unavailable platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts. This study aimed to reduce the cost of PGM materials by replacing Ru with RuO2 and lowering the amount of RuO2 by adding abundant and multifunctional ZnO. A ZnO@RuO2 composite in a 10:1 molar ratio was synthesized by microwave processing of a precipitate as a green, low-cost, and fast method, and then annealed at 300°C and 600°C to improve the catalytic properties. The physicochemical properties of the ZnO@RuO2 composites were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The electrochemical activity of the samples was investigated by linear sweep voltammetry in acidic and alkaline electrolytes. We observed good bifunctional catalytic activity of the ZnO@RuO2 composites toward HER and OER in both electrolytes. The improved bifunctional catalytic activity of the ZnO@RuO2 composite by annealing was discussed and attributed to the reduced number of bulk oxygen vacancies and the increased number of established heterojunctions.

AB  - Zink oxide-based materials have a great potential to be applied in photo and electro catalysts, opto-electronic (indoor illumination, LED), etc. Attractiveness of ZnO is attributed to wide bandgap energy at room temperature (3.37 eV), high electron mobility and transfer efficiency (115-155 cm2·V-1·s-1), large exciton binding energy (60 meV), intrinsic stability, nontoxicity, environmental compatibility and also, simple and not expensive synthesis procedure. A lot of different approaches can be used to modify the bandgap (i.e. optical absorption) of ZnO materials: metal and nonmetal ion doping, hydrogenation, the incorporation of crystalline defects in the form of V and I, modification of particles morphology and surface topology, etc. In this study, eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped ZnO nanoparticles with 5, 10, 15 and 20 at.% of Fe (Zn1-xFeyO(1-x+1.5y)). The influence of different amount of Fe substituted Zn in ZnO on the crystal structure, morphological, textural, and optical properties as well as on functionality of ZnO particles was investigated. The crystal structure and phase purity of the Zn1-xFeyO(1-x+1.5y) particles were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Effects of the Fe3+ amount on particles morphology and texture properties were observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE–SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm, respectively. Optical properties were studied using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Functionality of ZnO particles was studied due to their photocatalytic and electrochemical activities. Photocatalytic activity was examined via decolorization of methylene blue under direct sunlight irradiation. Electrochemical behavior of the ZnO samples as anode material was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte.

AB  - A novel and effective antibacterial agent based on a combination of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) and polypyrrole (PPy) is presented. By using a straightforward in situ polymerization method in water, a copper/polypyrrole (Cu/PPy) nanocomposite with spherical CuNPs, around 25 nm in diameter, uniformly dispersed throughout a granular PPy matrix, was characterized and subjected to determination of antibacterial activity toward E. coli, and S. aureus. In this survey, the synergistic engagement of various features of CuNPs and PPy against bacteria was somewhat expected. After a 24 h interaction with S. aureus, already 2 ppm of Cu/PPy with only 9.45 wt% content of Cu is acting almost completely cidal, with 99.17 % bacterial growth inhibition, while 10 ppm has a cidal value of 99.99 % at the same time. Safe and environmentally acceptable concentrations of Cu/PPy indicate that it is convenient as an antibacterial agent for wider use.

AB  - The catalytic activity of five silver-polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone (Ag@PANI@PVP1–5) nanocomposites for borohydride oxidation reaction (BOR) was thoroughly examined. The nanocomposites were synthesized by an in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline monomer by Ag+ ions in the presence of accelerator – PVP and physicochemical properties were determined prior their use in electrocatalysis. Ag@PANI@PVP3 with 35.4 wt% Ag delivered the highest current density and specific current density during BOR. Evaluation of the order of reaction < 1 suggested indirect BOR mechanism. Furthermore, Ag@PANI@PVP3 also delivered the highest current density and stable performance during chronoamperometric study of BOR. Its apparent activation energy of 15 kJ mol−1 was found to be the lowest among the studied materials accounting for the high current densities. © 2023 The Author(s)

AB  - Gold polypyrrole (AuPPy) and copper polypyrrole (CuPPy) nanocomposites were prepared by a simple one-step in situ oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomer by Au3+ and Cu2+ ions. Owing to their characteristic physicochemical properties confirmed by optical and structural characterization methods, the behavior of these materials as electrocatalysts for borohydride oxidation reaction (BOR) was considered. BOR apparent activation energy was found to be 16 and 22 kJ mol−1 for AuPPy and CuPPy electrocatalyst, respectively. The stability of the two electrocatalysts was assessed by chronoamperometry. Moreover, fuel cell tests were carried out with AuPPy and CuPPy as anode electrocatalyst of a direct borohydride-peroxide fuel cell (DBPFC). Open circuit voltage (OCV) of 1.30 V was obtained with both AuPPy and CuPPy, with the OCV increasing to 1.45 V upon adding a small amount of carbon (AuPPy-C). The peak power density of a DBPFC with BOR at AuPPy-C anode and hydrogen peroxide reduction reaction at Pt cathode was found to be ca. 162 mW cm−2 at 65 °C.

AB  - Dense calcium phosphate-based ceramics were fabricated to be used as targets for pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Nanostructured cobalt-substituted hydroxyapatite (Co:HAP) was used as a starting powder. To vary phase composition and microstructure of targets, two sintering approaches were applied, conventional (CS) and two-step sintering (TSS). The obtained results show that in both cases biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics (targets) were prepared, with slightly different HAP-to-β–TCP amount ratio and a significantly different microstructure. While the CS method yielded fully dense ceramics with an average grain size of 1.3 μm, the ceramics prepared by TSS had a density of 98.5%, with a predominant grain size below 100 nm. (Ca + Co)P coatings were prepared by PLD of (Ca + Co)P targets. The temperature of the Ti substrate was adjusted to be 25 and 500 °C. The results show that the phase composition of (Ca + Co)P coatings depended on the phase composition of targets as well as on the temperature of the Ti substrate. The coating prepared at 25 °C using CS target consisted of three calcium phosphate phases, HAP, β–TCP and α–TCP; when the TSS target was used, the coating was biphasic, containing HAP and β–TCP. When the substrate was heated to 500 °C, regardless of whether the CS or the TSS target was used, the deposited coatings were composed of HAP and α–TCP. Due to different phase compositions, the (Ca + Co)P coatings deposited at 25 °C showed an improved hardness compared to those deposited at 500 °C. The obtained results confirmed that the phase composition, morphology and mechanical properties of 0.3 μm thick (Ca + Co)P coatings on a Ti substrate can be tailored by employing (Ca + Co)P targets with different microstructures, and also by varying the temperature of the Ti substrate during deposition experiments.

Due to different phase compositions, the (Ca + Co)P coatings deposited at 25 °C showed an improved hardness compared to those deposited at 500 °C. The obtained results confirmed that the phase composition, morphology and mechanical properties of 0.3 μm thick (Ca + Co)P coatings on a Ti substrate can be tailored by employing (Ca + Co)P targets with different microstructures, and also by varying the temperature of the Ti substrate during deposition experiments.",

AB  - Fayalite Fe2SiO4 is synthesized by the solid-state reaction without ball milling. The obtained powder is further structurally and electrochemically examined. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) showed that microsized powder is obtained. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) pattern is used for both phase identification and crystal structure Rietveld refinement. The structure is refined in the orthorhombic Pbnm space group. Mössbauer spectroscopy revealed traces of Fe3+ impurity. The bond valence mapping method is applied for the first time on Fe2SiO4 framework. It shows isolated, non-connected isosurfaces of constant E(Li), which further supports the assumptions of the conversion reactions. Electrochemical performances are investigated through galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Ex-situ XRD and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses are combined to monitor phase change after galvanostatic cycling and to reveal the working mechanism during electrochemical lithiation.

AB  - Nanocomposites of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and conducting polymers, polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PANI), were prepared by simple oxidative polymerization of the corresponding monomer (pyrrole and aniline, respectively) by tetrachloroauric acid. Au nanospheres and nanorods were formed in the case of Au@PPy and Au@PANI, respectively. Detection of As(III) using Au@polymer was investigated where both nanocomposites showed similar activity for As electrooxidation in acidic media. The activity of Au@PPy was notably improved upon the addition of a small amount of conducting carbon, giving higher current densities compared to the commercial Au electrode. Further optimization of the operational conditions including electrolyte composition, deposition time and potential, was carried out to reach the limit of quantification as low as 2 ppb. Au@PPy nanocomposite proved to be suitable for sensing of As(III) in the presence of other ions, such as Cu(II). Furthermore, it proved to be suitable for As(III) sensing in real samples.

AB  - Dual templating approach, using hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), was employed in an attempt to synthesize hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolite. Amount of mesoporogen and the duration of aging of the precursor were varied. Majority of the synthesis routes resulted in phase separation, yielding separate ZSM-5 and amorphous mesoporous material. The relative amounts of the two phases were dependent on the CTAB amount ratio and also significantly on the duration of precursor aging before CTAB addition. One particular combination of the two factors led to the formation of a homogeneous hierarchical form of ZSM-5 with leafy morphology, consisting of intergrown thin crystalline sheets which formed flower-like structures. The hierarchical ZSM-5 possessed significant microporous (≈95 m2/g) and highly developed mesoporous surface (≈470 m2/g), with a relatively broad distribution of mesopore sizes (<20 nm). The acidity of all samples was studied in detail. Isothermal microcalorimetry/volumetry of ammonia adsorption provided quantitative data on the number and distribution of strength of acidic sites. In situ FTIR of pyridine and collidine adsorption was used to quantify Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, and to provide information on their location - in the micropores or mesopores/external surface. The hierarchical ZSM-5 possessed both Lewis and Brønsted acidity, with Brønsted sites located mainly in the micropores. All samples were fully characterized using XRD, low temperature nitrogen adsorption, FESEM and EDS. The synthetic route used for obtaining the ZSM-5 zeolite with flower-like morphology is a simple strategy for preparing hierarchical ZSM-5 forms targeting enhanced diffusivity and accessibility of catalytically active sites.

AB  - The CaCu3 Ti 4 O12 belongs to the large ACu3B4 O12 family of materials. Crystallographic A site is most often occupied by alkaline-earth metals or lanthanides, while B site is occupied by transition metals. The type of cations that build up the structure strongly affects the properties of these. The CaCu 3 Ti 4 O12 has been extensively studied due to its high dielectric permittivity stable over a wide temperature and frequency range (up to 10 5 , for 100-600 K and 10 2 –105 Hz). Because of such characteristics, it has promising application in microelectronics. However, it has been shown that differences in the crystal structure and electrical properties of dielectric ceramics and metallic electrodes, may cause an energy barrier and occurrence of stress on the ceramic-electrode contact which reduces dielectric permittivity. Such stress can be prevented by using dielectric and electrode materials with as much as possible similar crystal structure, especially unit cell parameters. This investigation dealt with detailed structural (XRPD, HRTEM, SAED), dielectric and magnetic study of CaCu 3 Ti 4-xRuxO12 (CCTRO, x = 0, 1 and 4) materials. The results of structural refinement show that in cubic symmetry with space group 3Im , both titanium and ruthenium ions occupied crystallographic B site. Moreover, the variation in stoichiometry slightly affects the value of the unit cell parameters but changes electrical properties of studied material. Thus, substitution of even one atom of Ru in CaCu3 Ti 4-xRuxO12 unit cell is enough to change material properties from dielectric to conductor solving the problem of stress appearance on the contact layer of dielectric/electrode in capacitors.

AB  - Eco-friendly and rapid microwave processing of a precipitate was used to produce Fe-doped zinc oxide (Zn1−xFexO, x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.20; ZnO:Fe) nanoparticles, which were tested as catalysts toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in a moderately alkaline solution. The phase composition, crystal structure, morphology, textural properties, surface chemistry, optical properties and band structure were examined to comprehend the influence of Zn2+ partial substitution with Fe3+ on the catalytic activity of ZnO:Fe. Linear sweep voltammetry showed an improved catalytic activity of ZnO:5Fe toward the ORR, compared to pure ZnO, while with increased amounts of the Fe-dopant the activity decreased. The improvement was suggested by a more positive onset potential (0.394 V vs. RHE), current density (0.231 mA cm−2 at 0.150 V vs. RHE), and faster kinetics (Tafel slope, b = 248 mV dec−1), and it may be due to the synergistic effect of (1) a sufficient amount of surface oxygen vacancies, and (2) a certain amount of plate-like particles composed of crystallites with well developed (0001) and (000) facets. Quite the contrary, the OER study showed that the introduction of Fe3+ ions into the ZnO crystal structure resulted in enhanced catalytic activity of all ZnO:Fe samples, compared to pure ZnO, probably due to the modified binding energy and an optimized band structure. With the maximal current density of 1.066 mA cm−2 at 2.216 V vs. RHE, an onset potential of 1.856 V vs. RHE, and the smallest potential difference between the OER and ORR (ΔE = 1.58 V), ZnO:10Fe may be considered a promising bifunctional catalyst toward the OER/ORR in moderately alkaline solution. This study demonstrates that the electrocatalytic activity of ZnO:Fe strongly depends on the defect chemistry and consequently the band structure. Along with providing fundamental insight into the electrocatalytic activity of ZnO:Fe, the study also indicates an optimal stoichiometry for enhanced bifunctional activity toward the OER/ORR, compared to pure ZnO.

AB  - There is a need for developing new and perspective materials for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) as one of the most essential reactions in the life processes, energy storage, and conversion, in order to exchange the most often used materials based on platinum supported/unsupported substrates, especially carbon supports. Herein, we present low-cost alternative electrode materials consisting of two silver@polyvinylpyrrolidone-polyaniline (Ag@PVP-PANI) nanocomposites that showed great potential as Pt-free ORR electrocatalysts. Simple and effective polymerization processes of aniline in the methanol, using PVP as shape-mediated stabilizator and stimulator of its oxidation by silver ions, led to the formation of nanocomposites with truncated triangular silver nanoparticles dispersed throughout granular and wrinkle-like surfaces of PANI matrix. The behavior of PVP chains in acidic conditions showed great influence on nanocomposites’ conductivities, regardless of the high silver content. Electrocatalytic survey of nanocomposites examined in alkaline media toward ORR pointed out their appreciable activities with high ORR onset potentials. Moreover, for the nanocomposite with lower silver content (18.9 wt. %), the four-electron ORR pathway was evidenced. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Taking advantage of the flexibility of the apatite structure, nano- and micro-particles of hydroxyapatite (HAp) were doped with different combinations of rare earth ions (RE3+ = Gd, Eu, Yb, Tm) to achieve a synergy among their magnetic and optical properties and to enable their application in preventive medicine, particularly diagnostics based on multimodal imaging. All powders were synthesized through hydrothermal processing at T ≤ 200 °C. An X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that all powders crystallized in P63/m space group of the hexagonal crystal structure. The refined unit-cell parameters reflected a decrease in the unit cell volume as a result of the partial substitution of Ca2+ with smaller RE3+ ions at both cation positions. The FTIR analysis additionally suggested that a synergy may exist solely in the triply doped system, where the lattice symmetry and vibration modes become more coherent than in the singly or doubly doped systems. HAp:RE3+ optical characterization revealed a change in the energy band gap and the appearance of a weak blue luminescence (λex = 370 nm) due to an increased concentration of defects. The “up”- and the “down”-conversion spectra of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu powders showed characteristic transitions of Tm3+ and Eu3+, respectively. Furthermore, in contrast to diamagnetic HAp, all HAp:RE3+ powders exhibited paramagnetic behavior. Cell viability tests of HAp:Gd/Yb/Tm and HAp:Gd/Eu powders in human dental pulp stem cell cultures indicated their good biocompatibility. © 2019, The Author(s).

AB  - A new method involving the homogeneous dispersion of precursor compounds inside a methylcellulose matrix is used for the synthesis of a composite powder of Li 2 FeP 2 O 7 and carbon. The properties of carbon-containing and carbon-free powders are studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) including Rietveld refinement, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), galvanostatic cycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The structure of both powders is refined in a monoclinic framework (space group P2 1 /c). The structural refinement and Mössbauer spectroscopy reveal different degrees of partial occupancy of mixed-occupied sites by lithium. Electrochemical measurements show that the in situ formation of carbon improves capacity (90% of 1-electron theoretical capacity) through decreased charge-transfer resistance. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - The main goal of this research has been to investigate for the first time the effects of fluorination on the crystal structure, magnetic, and electrochemical properties of the P2-type NaxCoO2 powder. Sodium cobalt oxide with a P2-type structure is synthesized by a modified solid-state reaction consisting of alternating processes of rapid heating up to 750 °C and rapid cooling to the room temperature. The obtained powder is fluorinated using a gas-solid reaction with NH4HF2 as fluorinating agent. Fluorination causes a decrease of sodium content in the parent phase with the concurrent formation of the minor phases of Na2CO3 and NaF. The structure of NaxCoO2 in both powders is refined in P63/mmc space group. The results of the Rietveld refinement combined with the findings from the XPS measurements confirm the Na0.76CoO2 and Na0.44CoO1.96F0.04 stoichiometries for the pristine and fluorinated powders, respectively, which indicates that 4 at.% of fluorine ions per formula unit are incorporated in the structure.

AB  - A facile and fast aqueous phase-based strategy to synthesize silver-polyaniline-polyvinylpyrrolidone (Ag-PANI-PVP) nanocomposites, via chemical oxidative polymerization method is presented. In the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which has an accelerating effect on the oxidation of aniline with silver nitrate, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were in situ generated in aqueous solution during simultaneous formation of polyaniline (PANI), without any additional reducing agent or complicated treatment. We have demonstrated synthesis of three stabile Ag-PANI-PVP nanocomposites with different content, size, and morphology of Ag nanoparticles by varying the experimental parameters, such as pH and PVP concentration. As a result, this led to different Ag nanostructures (spherical and polyhedral NPs), and, consequently, different morphology of formed nanocomposites (granular and nanosheets). The physicochemical properties of nanocomposites were examined by using different analytical techniques (UV–Vis, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, XRD, and Raman). It is found that optical properties, electrical conductivity and the content of Ag in the composites vary depending on the synthetic conditions. The electrocatalytic behavior of Ag-PANI-PVP nanocomposites was examined towards the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic and alkaline media. All tested nanocomposites showed high electrocatalytic activity, while the most active catalyst is the one with the highest electrical conductivity (≈0.6 S cm−1) and the lowest Ag content (3.4 wt%), synthesized in the solution without added acid. The simplicity of synthesis and good electrocatalytic efficiency of prepared nanocomposites combined with large-scale availability make them attractive as Pt-free electrocatalysts.

In the presence of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), which has an accelerating effect on the oxidation of aniline with silver nitrate, Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were in situ generated in aqueous solution during simultaneous formation of polyaniline (PANI), without any additional reducing agent or complicated treatment. We have demonstrated synthesis of three stabile Ag-PANI-PVP nanocomposites with different content, size, and morphology of Ag nanoparticles by varying the experimental parameters, such as pH and PVP concentration. As a result, this led to different Ag nanostructures (spherical and polyhedral NPs), and, consequently, different morphology of formed nanocomposites (granular and nanosheets). The physicochemical properties of nanocomposites were examined by using different analytical techniques (UV–Vis, TEM, FESEM, FT-IR, XRD, and Raman). It is found that optical properties, electrical conductivity and the content of Ag in the composites vary depending on the synthetic conditions. The electrocatalytic behavior of Ag-PANI-PVP nanocomposites was examined towards the oxygen reduction reaction in acidic and alkaline media. All tested nanocomposites showed high electrocatalytic activity, while the most active catalyst is the one with the highest electrical conductivity (≈0.6 S cm−1) and the lowest Ag content (3.4 wt%), synthesized in the solution without added acid. The simplicity of synthesis and good electrocatalytic efficiency of prepared nanocomposites combined with large-scale availability make them attractive as Pt-free electrocatalysts.",

AB  - Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) have proven to own excellent antimicrobial efficacy, but the problems of easy oxidation and aggregation limit their practical application. Here, nanocomposite based on polyaniline (PANI) and Cu NPs solved this problem and brought additional physicochemical properties that are markedly advantageous for antimicrobial applications. Current work exploits this potential, to examine its time- and concentration-dependent antimicrobial activity, employing E. coli, S. aureus, and C. albicans as a model microbial species. Regarding the presence of polaronic charge carriers in the fibrous polyaniline network, effects of Cu NPs’ size and their partially oxidized surfaces (the data were confirmed by HRTEM, FESEM, XRD, Raman and XPS analysis), as well as rapid copper ions release, Cu-PANI nanocomposite showed efficient bactericidal and fungicidal activities at the concentrations ≤1 ppm, within the incubation time of 2 h. Beside the quantitative analysis, the high levels of cellular disruption for all tested microbes were evidenced by atomic force microscopy. Moreover, the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of the Cu-PANI nanocomposite were lower than those reported for other nanocomposites. Using such low concentrations is recognized as a good way to avoid its toxicity toward the environment. For this purpose, Cu-PANI nanocomposite is tested for its genotoxicity and influence on the oxidative status of the human cells in vitro.

AB  - The search for alternative cathode materials for Li-ion batteries has recently emerged Li2FeP2O7 pyrophosphate as a new potential competitor for LiFePO4 material. It has a possibility to offer good rate capability, lithium ion diffusivity and volumetric energy density, and is a material of high safety and low raw materials cost. In addition, there is the probability of releasing the second Li-atom at a higher redox potential of 5.2 V, where the theoretical capacity would reach 220 mAhg−1. Optimized solid state reaction is used for the synthesis of pure Li2FeP2O7 powder and a composite Li2FeP2O7/C. The synthesized powders are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy, and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling.

AB  - By combining copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) as a good antimicrobial agent
with polyaniline (PANI), which also shows some degree of antimicrobial
activity, we were able to synthesize a novel promising antimicrobial
material – copper-polyaniline (Cu-PANI) nanocomposite. It was prepared
by simple in situ polymerization method, when thepolymer and metal
nanoparticles (dav= 6 nm)are produced simultaneously.Quantitative
(antimicrobial assay) and qualitative (atomic force microscopy – AFM)
analyses showed that synergestic effect of CuNPs and PANI against
bacteriaE. coli andS. aureus,and fungusC. albicans, provides its faster
andhigher antimicrobial activity than any component acting alone.This
makes it a great candidate for fast waste water treatment.

AB  - ZnO spheroidal nanoparticles, synthesized by microwave processing, were used for preparation of composites with polyethylene oxide (PEO). The phase purity and crystal structure of the composites were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The composites particles morphology and size distributions were studied by FE-SEM and laser diffraction particle size analyzer, respectively. The optical properties were studied using UV Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy. It is found that in the wavelength range 550-800 nm, ZnO and ZnO/PEO composites absorb about 50% of the incident light intensity. Also red-shift of band gap energy (0.12-0.15 eV) compared to bulk ZnO was determined. The effect of PEO molecular weights, 200,000, 600,000 and 900,000 g/mol, on photocatalytic activity of ZnO/PEO composites were examined via de-colorization of methylene blue (MB) under direct sunlight irradiation. A large efficiency of MB de-colorization was found after 6 h of irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of ZnO/PEO composites is attributed to the: (1) lattice defects introduced in ZnO crystal structure by rapid microwave processing, and (2) presence of PEO as a source of oxygen interstitials. In order to confirm and further clarify the experimental results ab initio calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - Recent developments in bone tissue engineering have led to an increased interest in one-dimensional (1D) hydroxyapatite (HA) nano- and micro-structures such as wires, ribbons and tubes. They have been proposed for use as cell substrates, reinforcing phases in composites and carriers for biologically active substances. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of 1D HA structures using an optimized, urea-assisted, high-yield hydrothermal batch process. The one-pot process, yielding HA structures composed of bundles of ribbons and wires, was typified by the simultaneous occurrence of a multitude of intermediate reactions, failing to meet the uniformity criteria over particle morphology and size. To overcome these issues, the preparation procedure was divided to two stages: dicalcium phosphate platelets synthesized in the first step were used as a precursor for the synthesis of 1D HA in the second stage. Despite the elongated particle morphologies, both the precursor and the final product exhibited excellent biocompatibility and caused no reduction of viability when tested against osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells in 2D culture up to the concentration of 2.6 mg/cm2. X-ray powder diffraction combined with a range of electron microscopies and laser diffraction analyses was used to elucidate the formation mechanism and the microstructure of the final particles. The two-step synthesis involved a more direct transformation of DCP to 1D HA with the average diameter of 37 nm and the aspect ratio exceeding 100:1. The comparison of crystalline domain sizes along different crystallographic directions showed no signs of significant anisotropy, while indicating that individual nanowires are ordered in bundles in the b crystallographic direction of the P63/m space group of HA. Intermediate processes, e.g., dehydration of dicalcium phosphate, are critical for the formation of 1D HA alongside other key aspects of this phase transformation, it must be investigated in more detail in the continuous design of smart HA micro- and nano-structures with advanced therapeutic potentials.

AB  - Recent developments in bone tissue engineering have led to an increased interest in one-dimensional (1D) hydroxyapatite (HA) nano- and micro-structures such as wires, ribbons and tubes. They have been proposed for use as cell substrates, reinforcing phases in composites and carriers for biologically active substances. Here we demonstrate the synthesis of 1D HA structures using an optimized, urea-assisted, high-yield hydrothermal batch process. The one-pot process, yielding HA structures composed of bundles of ribbons and wires, was typified by the simultaneous occurrence of a multitude of intermediate reactions, failing to meet the uniformity criteria over particle morphology and size. To overcome these issues, the preparation procedure was divided to two stages: dicalcium phosphate platelets synthesized in the first step were used as a precursor for the synthesis of 1D HA in the second stage. Despite the elongated particle morphologies, both the precursor and the final product exhibited excellent biocompatibility and caused no reduction of viability when tested against osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells in 2D culture up to the concentration of 2.6 mg/cm2. X-ray powder diffraction combined with a range of electron microscopies and laser diffraction analyses was used to elucidate the formation mechanism and the microstructure of the final particles. The two-step synthesis involved a more direct transformation of DCP to 1D HA with the average diameter of 37 nm and the aspect ratio exceeding 100:1. The comparison of crystalline domain sizes along different crystallographic directions showed no signs of significant anisotropy, while indicating that individual nanowires are ordered in bundles in the b crystallographic direction of the P63/m space group of HA. Intermediate processes, e.g., dehydration of dicalcium phosphate, are critical for the formation of 1D HA alongside other key aspects of this phase transformation, it must be investigated in more detail in the continuous design of smart HA micro- and nano-structures with advanced therapeutic potentials.

AB  - This study explores different mechanisms of antimicrobial action by designing hybrid nanomaterials that provide a new approach in the fight against resistant microbes. Here, we present a cheap copper-polyaniline (Cu-PANI) nanocomposite material with enhanced antimicrobial properties, prepared by simple in situ polymerization method, when polymer and metal nanoparticles are produced simultaneously. The copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are uniformly dispersed in the polymer and have a narrow size distribution (dav = 6 nm). We found that CuNPs and PANI act synergistically against three strains, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans, and resulting nanocomposite exhibits higher antimicrobial activity than any component acting alone. Before using the colony counting method to quantify its time and concentration antimicrobial activity, different techniques (UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscope, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry) were used to identify the optical, structural, and chemical aspects of the formed Cu-PANI nanocomposite. The antimicrobial activity of this nanocomposite shows that the microbial growth has been fully inhibited; moreover, some of the tested microbes were killed. Atomic force microscopy revealed dramatic changes in morphology of tested cells due to disruption of their cell wall integrity after incubation with Cu-PANI nanocomposite.

AB  - Perovskite-related materials with the general formula AC3B4O12 have great technological significance due to their specific physical properties. The crystal structure of AC3B4O12 compounds is cubic with Im3 symmetry. Different cations can occupy A and B sites, while the C site is commonly occupied by Cu2+ or Mn3+ ions. It has been found that the nature of B cation changes the physical properties of the material. In our previous studies we dealt with CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) and CaCu3Ru4O12 (CCRO) compounds. CCTO has the gigantic permittivity of 104105 in the kilohertz region and good stability over the temperature range from -170 to 330 °C. While Ti-compound is semiconductor, the Ru one is conductive oxide and could be used as interfaces between CCTO and metallic electrodes. Thus, CCTO and CCRO have potential application for preparation of layer capacitors with CCRO as the electrode and CCTO as the dielectric material. Since the oxygen vacancies and/or intrinsic defects in perovskites have a crucial role in the physical properties it is important to determine crystal structure of ceramic materials. In this work, a detailed structural investigation of CCTO and CCRO perovskites was performed. The powders were prepared by precipitation and successive calcination at 1100 °C with 3 h dwell time to obtained single phased materials. The phase composition and crystal structure of synthesized powders were studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED) and Raman spectroscopy analyses. Rietveld refinement of XRD data was used to calculate the powders stoichiometry. Furthermore, since the XRD method is not adequate for determination of oxygen atoms due to their small scattering factors, to confirm the (oxygen-) stoichiometry of the ceramic powders, thermogravimetric (TG) measurements were employed. Two sets of experiments were performed; powders were heated in a flowing: (1) air atmosphere, and (2) reducing atmosphere (mixture of 5% H2 with Ar; 20 ml/min), to 1100 °C with a heating rate 10 °C/min with 3 h dwell time. TG measurements were performed on system coupled to a quadrupole mass spectrometer used for determination of volatile compounds. The weight losses measured by TG, in two different atmospheres, were compared; minor deviations in stoichiometries of CaCu3B4O12 compounds determined by Rietveld refinement were corrected.
