| 1 | Synthesis,Characterization and Biocompatibility of Potassium Ferrite Nanoparticles显示文摘In the present study,morphology,size distribution,structure,biocompatibility and magnetic properties of potassium ferrite nanoparticles(KFeO_2 NPs),synthesized by conventional sol—gel method have been reported.The formation of spherical nanoparticles with orthorhombic structure has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.The particle size,as obtained by transmission electron microscopy has been found to be in the range of 4—7 nm.Further,the size distribution has been scrutinized using Analyse-it software,where a platykurtic feature in the size distribution was observed.Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis showed the formation of metal(Fe,K) bonds at Neel temperature of 337℃.Vibrating sample magnetometer analysis revealed the superparamagnetic behaviour of the synthesized KFeO_2NPs,with saturation magnetization of 25.72 emu/g.In vitro cytotoxicity test,using MTT assay,on T cell lines(Jurkat cells) showed that KFeO_2 NPs are biocompatible at a particle concentration of 100 |j.g/ml. | Lavanya Khanna N.K.Verma | 2014 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2014，30，1： | 3 |
| 2 | CaCO_3/TiO_2 Nanoparticles Based Dye Sensitized Solar Cell显示文摘In this communication,the synthesis and structural,morphological,optical,and photo-electrochemical properties of TiO_2 and CaCO_3/TiO_2 nanoparticles as well as their applications in dye sensitized solar cells(DSSCs),have been reported.In an X-ray diffraction pattern of CaCO_3/TiO_2 nanoparticles,the peak at 29.41°of CaCO_3 has been detected,demonstrating its coating on the surface of TiO_2,which is further verified using high resolution-transmission electron microscopy,energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.The strong quenching in photoluminescence emission,in the case of CaCO_3/TiO_2nanoparticles,has been attributed to the decrease in recombination rate of photo-generated electron—hole pairs.In the case of UV—visible reflectance spectra,the absorption edge for CaCO_3/TiO_2 nanoparticles has slightly been found to be blue-shifted as compared to bare TiO_2 nanoparticles,which corresponds to an increase in energy band gap of the former.The dye desorption studies reveal that CaCO_3/TiO_2 electrodes adsorbed more dye than the bare TiO_2 electrode.CaCO_3/TiO_2 based DSSC show improved photoelectrochemical properties compared to the bare TiO_2 based DSSC as CaCO_3 coating on TiO_2 forms an energy barrier,and,consequently suppressing the charge recombination,and,thus,improving the overall energy conversion efficiency(η) from 0.46%to 1.44%under the illumination of simulated light of 100 mW/cm^2. | Manveen Kaur N.K.Verma | 2014 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2014，30，4： | 0 |
