	Thiol-capped metal nanoparticles have two constituents:an inorganicmetal and an organic molecule as a shell. Both characters are inbuiltin the structure of the metal thiolate. Herein, we have investigatedbismuth dodecanethiolate as a precursor for the synthesis of dodecanethiol-cappedbismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) by a solid-state grinding method. Byusing sodium borohydride and bismuth dodecanethiolate, crystallinebismuth nanoparticles are synthesized in a solvent-free environmentat room temperature (24 &amp; PLUSMN; 4 &amp; DEG;C). Bi NPs are tested for catalyticactivity by reducing 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP)with an excess of NaBH4. Dodecanethiol-capped bismuth nanoparticlesexhibit an efficient reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP within 12 min. Additionally,these nanoparticles remain catalytically active for up to three cycles.</p>

	Uniformly sized perovskite DyCrO3 was synthesized by facile hydrothermal method. Complex interdependence of various parameters such as - pH, crystal growth duration, reaction temperature, precursor, and capping molecules on crystal growth was extensively investigated. The effect of synthesis parameters on the magnetic properties of hydrothermally synthesized DyCrO3 was compared with high-temperature synthesized DyCrO3. DyCrO3's potential for electrocatalytic water splitting in an alkaline medium (1.0 M KOH) was also evaluated. It demonstrates an overpotential of 280 mV for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and 210 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Further, it exhibits promising stability for OER and HER.</p>
