The Noble-Prize-winning discovery of graphene has created an entirely new branch of materials science and technology. Being a single-atom-thick sheet of carbon atoms packed in two-dimensional (2D) honeycomb lattices, graphene possesses a large surface area and high electrical/thermal conductivity as well as excellent mechanical properties. These interesting properties make graphene attractive f...

Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) and graphene carbon material, due to lower drug resistance, can replace antibiotics, and by decorating of graphene with Zn-NPs, their properties can be greatly improved. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial effects of ZnO-NPs biosynthesized using Crocus Sativus petal extract, graphene and graphene decorated by ZnO-NPs bio...

BACKGROUND Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2) have been shown to be a novel therapeutic in many biomedical applications. Gold (Au) nanoparticles have also attracted widespread interest due to their chemical stability and unique optical properties. Thus, decorating Au on CeO2 nanoparticles would have potential for exploitation in the biomedical field. METHODS In the present work, CeO2 nanoparti...

The cytotoxicity of 13 and 22 nm aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanoparticles was investigated in cultured human bronchoalveolar carcinoma-derived cells (A549) and compared with 20 nm CeO2 and 40 nm TiO2 nanoparticles as positive and negative control, respectively. Exposure to both Al2O3 nanoparticles for 24 h at 10 and 25mgmL 1 doses significantly decreased cell viability compared with control. Howeve...

Flowerlike CeO2 coated with Sr2Fe1.5Mo0.5Ox (Sr-Fe-Mo-oxide) nanoparticles exhibits enhanced conductivity at low temperatures (300-600 °C), e.g. 0.12 S cm(-1) at 600 °C, this is comparable to pure ceria (0.1 S cm(-1) at 800 °C). Advanced single layer fuel cell was constructed using the flowerlike CeO2/Sr-Fe-Mo-oxide layer attached to a Ni-foam layer coated with the conducting transition metal o...
