Well-defined CdS nanograin-sensitized one-dimensional (1D) Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanostructured arrays with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance are synthesized directly on F-doped SnO2 (FTO) using the hydrothermal method. Owing predominantly to the appropriate photogenerated electron-hole separation and charge collection in 1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 nanorods, hydrothermally deposited CdS/1D Zr:α-Fe2O3 samples e...

background: application of adjuvants with microbial origins is a recently highlighted approach in the vaccinology trials. archaeosomes are among these microbial compounds with both adjuvant and liposomal activities and features. methods: in the present study, recombinant hbsag encapsulated into methanobrevibacter smithii (m. smithii) archaeosomes. balb/c mice immunized with this compound and hu...

High-fluorescent p-X-ferrites (XFe2O4; XFO; X = Fe, Cr, Mn, Co, or Ni) embedded in n-hematite (Fe2O3) surfaces were successfully fabricated via a facile bio-approach using Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. The results revealed that the X ions with high/low work functions modify the unpaired spin Fe2+-O2- orbitals in the XFe2O4 lattices to become localized paired spin orbitals at the bottom of conduct...

We investigate the effect of crystalline structure iron oxide catalysts on oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) n-butene. ODH reactions n-butene were carried out with a fixed-bed flow reactor at 450 °C under but-1-ene (1-C4H8) or cis-but-2-ene (cis-2-C4H8)(mL/min)/O2(mL/min) ratio 5/2.5. Of various oxide-based (α-, β-, γ-, ε-Fe2O3, Fe3O4, ZnFe2O4), ε-Fe2O3 showed highest activity. To best our knowle...

Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of anthrax with the ability to not only produce a tripartite toxin, but also an enveloping capsule comprised primarily of γ-D-glutamic acid residues. The purpose of this study was to isolate peptide ligands capable of binding to the native capsule of B. anthracis from a commercial phage display peptide library using a synthetic form of the capsule consi...

The unique property of phosphate-based glasses and fibres to be completely dissolved in aqueous media is largely dependent on the glass composition. This article focuses on investigating the effect of replacing Na2O with 3 and 5 mol% Fe2O3 on cytocompatibility, thermal and dissolution properties of P2O5-CaO-Na2O-MgO-B2O3 glass system, where P2O5 content was fixed at 45 mol%. The effect of incre...

This study attempted to synthesize onedimensional (1D) coaxial nanotubes of Fe2O3 based on carbon nanotubes (CNT@Fe2O3) via atomic layer deposition (ALD) using ferrocene and oxygen as precursors. Results disclosed that undoped CNTs were suitable for the ALD of Fe2O3 (ALD-Fe2O3) only if they were chemically functionalized, due to their inert surface nature. It was further demonstrated that the e...
