Problem statement: This study combines Au nanoparticles with TiO2 nanoparticles to form a Schottky barrier and applies it to the photo electrode thin film of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs). Approach: First, commercial TiO2 powder (Degussa P25) was put into the alkaline solution to prepare TiO nano tubes (Tnt) by a hydrothermal process. Tnt were sintered at 550° to obtain TntC550 particles a...

Breast conserving surgery (BCS) is a recommended treatment for breast cancer patients where the goal is to remove the tumor and a surrounding rim of normal tissue. Unfortunately, a high percentage of patients return for additional surgeries to remove all of the cancer. Post-operative pathology is the gold standard for evaluating BCS margins but is limited due to the amount of tissue that can be...

A trimethoxysilane derivative of propylmethylimidazolium iodide has been synthesized and presented for the first time. When mixed with iodine, it can be used as gel electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells offering through sol–gel condensation practically solid-state devices with satisfactory overall efficiency which was estimated at 3.2%. The specific conductivity of the gel electrolyte was i...

In the present study, the effect of Datura steramonium (DS) seed extract on acute inflammation induced by formalin injection was investigated. For this purpose, two control and treatment groups were selected and in order to induce pain, formalin (50 µl, 2.5%) was applied to the plantar surface of hind paws. In treatment group, 20-30 min before formalin injection, the DS seed extract was used i....

Nano hexagonal wurtzite ZnO has been prepared on zeoliteA by the sono-chemical method. The zeoliteA was mixed into Zinc gel, after stirring for two days, the mixture was irradiated 30 min by ultrasonic probe. The filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500°C for 3h in furnace. The produced composite was characterized using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and field emission scanning elec...

In this study, TiO2 nanopowders were prepared by combining the surfactant assisted sol–gel method with microwave plasma calcination. Plasma calcination was performed just for 20–30 min reducing time and ensuring energy efficient synthesis of photocatalyst. The mixed anatase–rutile phased nanoparticles obtained under these conditions. band gap photocatalyst decreased 40% on surfactants found to ...
