The viability of the process is demonstrated for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles by a plant extract based biological method as well as a chemical method.

This suspension was deposited on ceramic substrate and upon drying was carefully detached from the substrate. SnO(2)-embedded self-standing, transparent and flexible thin films were hence synthesized. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Xray diffraction (XRD) techniques show the rutile tetragonal structure of SnO(2) with particle size similar to 5 nm. UV-Visible spectroscopy demonstrates the band gap of 3.9 eV, which does not alter when embedded in polymer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) reveals that the properties of SnO(2) do not modify due to incorporation in the PVA matrix. The structures work as excellent humidity sensors at room temperature. For a critical PVA:SnO(2) molar ratio of 1:3, the resistance changes to five times of magnitude in 92% humidity within fraction of second when compared with resistance at 11% humidity. The sample regains its original resistance almost instantaneously after being removed from humid chamber. Nanodimensions of SnO(2) particles and percolation mechanism related to transport through polymer matrix and water molecule as a carrier has been used to understand the mechanism.

It is a bright yellow pigment belonging to the chalcone class and is examined as a sensitizer for optoelectronic applications. It is observed that chelation of this dye with Ti ions results into a strong dye-TiO(2) charge transfer (DTCT) band in the visible region. This Ti-Isobutrin chelate is stable, irreversible and its formation is studied using Benesi-Hildebrand plot. The locations of HOMO-LUMO states of the Ti-isobutrin chelate and the corresponding band alignment with TiO(2) are obtained. Also, a thermal stability test revealed that isobutrin is stable above 100 degrees C.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.20</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biswal, Mandakini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhas, Vivek V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mate, Vivek R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banerjee, Abhik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pachfule, Pradip</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agrawal, Kanika L.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ogale, Satishchandra B.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rode, Chandrashekhar V.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selectivity tailoring in liquid phase oxidation over MWNT-Mn3O4 nanocomposite catalysts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Physical Chemistry C</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AMER CHEMICAL SOC</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1155 16TH ST, NW, WASHINGTON, DC 20036 USA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">115</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15440-15448</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Highly selective multiwalled nanotubes (MWNT)-Mn3O4 nano-composite catalyst was designed for liquid phase oxidation of p-cresol, which gave highest selectivity of 90% to the first step oxidation product, p-hydroxy benzyl alcohol. Mn3O4 nanoparticles and MWNT-Mn3O4 nanocomposites were synthesized by coprecipitation route using mixed precursors under controlled conditions. The phase purity of Mn3O4 and the formation of MWNT-Mn3O4 nanocomposites were confirmed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy revealed the selective exposure of (101) and (001) planes of Mn3O4 nanoparticles in the MWNT-Mn3O4 composite, while lowering in oxidizing capacity of MWNT-Mn3O4 nanocomposite confirmed by cyclic voltametry was due to incorporation of electron rich MWNT. Thus, selectivity tuning of the new material (MWNT-Mn3O4 nanocomposite) was found to be due to alteration in both geometric as well as electronic properties. A plausible reaction pathway also has been proposed involving the predominant role of nucleophilic lattice oxygen (O2-) species due to exposure of particular crystal planes giving highest selectivity to p-hydroxy benzyl alcohol.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4.99</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muduli, Subas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Game, Onkar S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dhas, Vivek V.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yengantiwar, Ashish</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ogale, Satishchandra B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shape preserving chemical transformation of ZnO mesostructures into anatase TiO2 mesostructures for optoelectronic applications</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy &amp; Environmental Science</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AUG</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THOMAS GRAHAM HOUSE, SCIENCE PARK, MILTON RD, CAMBRIDGE CB4 0WF, CAMBS, ENGLAND</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2835-2839</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In this work we report on the synthesis of various ZnO mesostructures (rods, spheres, flakes and flower-like morphologies) by hydrothermal and co-precipitation methods and their remarkable and complete transformation into anatase TiO2 mesostructures with nominally similar shapes using controlled low temperature TiCl4 treatment. Various techniques are used to demonstrate the phase purity and morphology details. Based on the careful examination of the transformation of ZnO rods into TiO2 tubes we suggest a mechanism which embodies initial formation of a thin TiO2 shell on the ZnO surface by ion exchange (Ti4+-Zn2+) followed by Zn diffusion through the shell and its oxidation on the surface. We used these converted TiO2 mesostructures for light harvesting in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) to enhance the conversion efficiency. It is shown that DSSCs made using a doctor bladed film of TiO2 nanoparticles with an overlayer of TiCl4 treated ZnO flowers yield a solar cell efficiency of 6.9% which is considerably higher than that with only TiO2 nanoparticle film (5.4%) of comparable thickness.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.57
