Advances in Nickel Nanoparticle Synthesis via Oleylamine Route.

ABSTRACT: Nickel nanoparticles are an active research area due to their multiple applications as catalysts in different processes. A variety of preparation techniques have been reported for the synthesis of these nanoparticles, including solvothermal, microwave-assisted, and emulsion techniques. The well-studied solvothermal oleylamine synthesis route comes with the drawback of needing standard air-free techniques and often space-consuming glassware. Here, we present a facile and straightforward synthesis method for size-controlled highly monodisperse nickel nanoparticles avoiding the use of, e.g., Schlenk techniques and space-consuming labware. The nanoparticles produced by this novel synthetic route were investigated using small-angle X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray spectroscopy. The nanoparticles were in a size range of 4?16 nm, show high sphericity, no oxidation, and no agglomeration after synthesis.

Plasmonic Oleylamine-Capped Gold and Silver Nanoparticle-Assisted Synthesis of Luminescent Alloyed CdZnSeS Quantum Dots.

Project description:We report on a novel strategy to tune the structural and optical properties of luminescent alloyed quantum dot (QD) nanocrystals using plasmonic gold (Au) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs). Alloyed CdZnSeS QDs were synthesized via the organometallic synthetic route with different fabrication strategies that involve alternative utilization of blends of organic surfactants, ligands, capping agents, and plasmonic oleylamine (OLA)-functionalized AuNPs and AgNPs. Ligand exchange with thiol l-cysteine (l-cyst) was used to prepare the hydrophilic nanocrystals. Analysis of the structural properties using powder X-ray diffraction revealed that under the same experimental condition, the plasmonic NPs altered the diffractive crystal structure of the alloyed QDs. Depending on the fabrication strategy, the crystal nature of OLA-AuNP-assisted CdZnSeS QDs was a pure hexagonal wurtzite domain and a cubic zinc-blende domain, whereas the diffraction pattern of OLA-AgNP-assisted CdZnSeS QDs was dominantly a cubic zinc-blende domain. Insights into the growth morphology of the QDs revealed a steady transformation from a heterogeneous growth pattern to a homogenous growth pattern that was strongly influenced by the plasmonic NPs. Tuning the optical properties of the alloyed QDs via plasmonic optical engineering showed that the photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (QY) of the AuNP-assisted l-cyst-CdZnSeS QDs was tuned from 10 to 31%, whereas the PL QY of the AgNP-assisted l-cyst-CdZnSeS QDs was tuned from 15 to 90%. The low PL QY was associated with the surface defect state, while the remarkably high PL QY exhibited by the AgNP-assisted l-cyst-CdZnSeS QDs lends strong affirmation that the fabrication strategy employed in this work provides a unique opportunity to create single ensemble, multifunctional, highly fluorescent alloyed QDs for tailored biological applications.

Microparticle of drug and nanoparticle: a biosynthetic route.

Project description:Microparticles (MPs) have great potentiality in material science- based applications. Their use in biology is however limited to clinics and has rarely been exploited in the pharmaceutical context. Unlike nanoparticles (NPs), they are amenable to routine detection by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Though MPs can constitute a wide variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, polymers, and metals and can be synthesized by chemical process but wet processes for the preparation of microparticles have rarely been attemped. In this paper, a thrombotic route is shown to successfully generate biocompatible MP of a model anticancer drug (doxorubicin hydrochloride). Synthesis of MPs from platelets and drug loading in to these MPs was confirmed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Human cervical cancer cell line (HeLa) was treated with these drug-loaded MPs to investigate whether the loaded MPs have the capacity to deliver drug to the cancer cells. In addition, Magnetic force microscopy was used to detect the preparation of MPs loaded with magnetic NPs. The efficiency of the drug-loaded MPs in inducing cytotoxicity in cancer cell line, shown to be significantly higher than the free drug itself. The drug-loaded MP is shown to have a much higher cytotoxic propensity than the free drug applied at comparable doses. The thrombotic approach can also be applied to synthesize MP containing NPs which in turn can lead to generate a wide variety of new biocompatible materials.

Nickel and nickel oxide nanoparticle-embedded functional carbon nanofibers for lithium sulfur batteries.

Project description:Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are attracting tremendous attention owing to their critical advantages, such as high theoretical capacity of sulfur, cost-effectiveness, and environment-friendliness. Nevertheless, the vast commercialisation of Li-S batteries is severely hindered by sharp capacity decay upon operation and shortened cycle life because of the insulating nature of sulfur along with the solubility of intermediate redox products, lithium polysulfides (LiPSs), in electrolytes. This work proposes the use of multifunctional Ni/NiO-embedded carbon nanofibers (Ni/NiO@CNFs) synthesized by an electrospinning technique with the corresponding heat treatment as promising free-standing current collectors to enhance the kinetics of LiPS redox reactions and to provide prolonged cyclability by utilizing more efficient active materials. The electrochemical performance of the Li-S batteries with Ni/NiO@CNFs with ∼2.0 mg cm-2 sulfur loading at 0.5 and 1.0C current densities delivered initial specific capacities of 1335.1 mA h g-1 and 1190.4 mA h g-1, retrieving high-capacity retention of 77% and 70% after 100 and 200 cycles, respectively. The outcomes of this work disclose the beneficial auxiliary effect of metal and metal oxide nanoparticle embedment onto carbon nanofiber mats as being attractively suited up to achieve high-performance Li-S batteries.

Amide synthesis via nickel-catalysed reductive aminocarbonylation of aryl halides with nitroarenes.

Project description:Aminocarbonylation of aryl halides is one of the most useful methods in amide synthesis, but nitroarenes have not been used as a nitrogen source in this method even though they are more economical and accessible than anilines. Reported here is the development of nickel catalysis for the first three-component reactions of aryl halides, Co2(CO)8, and nitroarenes under reductive conditions to produce aryl amides. A wide range of (hetero)aryl iodides and bromides as well as nitro(hetero)arenes are suitable reaction partners, and high functional group compatibility has been achieved. The method might be used for the streamlined synthesis of aryl amides.

Synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) coated magnetic nanospheres via a multiple polymerization route.

Project description:Magnetic nanospheres are versatile candidates for both fundamental and practical applications. Before they are applied in more complicated fields, their surface must be modified by several functionalities. However, the surface modification can be affected by the magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) embedded in the polymer matrix. Herein, the synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) coated magnetic nanospheres via a multiple polymerization route is described. During the synthesis process, seed emulsion polymerization was applied to redistribute the MNP in the polymer matrix, and the relationship between the structure of magnetic nanospheres and the thickness of the grafted poly(acrylic acid) layer was investigated. The development of size, morphology and magnetic properties of the nanospheres were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and vibrating sample magnetometry. This work would pave the way to design and preparation of new structure of functional magnetic nanospheres with precise surface modification.

Collective synthesis of acetylenic pharmaceuticals via enantioselective Nickel/Lewis acid-catalyzed propargylic alkylation.

Project description:Chiral acetylenic derivatives are found in many bioactive compounds and are versatile functional groups in organic chemistry. Here, we describe an enantioselective nickel/Lewis acid-catalyzed asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction from simple achiral materials under mild condition. The introduction of a Lewis acid cocatalyst is crucial to the efficiency of the transformation. Notably, we investigate this asymmetric propargylic substitution reaction for the development of a range of structurally diverse natural products. The power of this strategy is highlighted by the collective synthesis of seven biologically active compounds: (-)-Thiohexital, (+)-Thiopental, (+)-Pentobarbital, (-)-AMG 837, (+)-Phenoxanol, (+)-Citralis, and (-)-Citralis Nitrile.

Advances in Gold Nanoparticle-Based Combined Cancer Therapy.

Project description:According to the global cancer observatory (GLOBOCAN), there are approximately 18 million new cancer cases per year worldwide. Cancer therapies are largely limited to surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. In radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the maximum tolerated dose is presently being used to treat cancer patients. The integrated development of innovative nanoparticle (NP) based approaches will be a key to address one of the main issues in both radiotherapy and chemotherapy: normal tissue toxicity. Among other inorganic NP systems, gold nanoparticle (GNP) based systems offer the means to further improve chemotherapy through controlled delivery of chemotherapeutics, while local radiotherapy dose can be enhanced by targeting the GNPs to the tumor. There have been over 20 nanotechnology-based therapeutic products approved for clinical use in the past two decades. Hence, the goal of this review is to understand what we have achieved so far and what else we can do to accelerate clinical use of GNP-based therapeutic platforms to minimize normal tissue toxicity while increasing the efficacy of the treatment. Nanomedicine will revolutionize future cancer treatment options and our ultimate goal should be to develop treatments that have minimum side effects, for improving the quality of life of all cancer patients.

Synthesis of Complex Nanoparticle Geometries via pH-Controlled Overgrowth of Gold Nanorods.

Project description:We show that many complex gold nanostructures such as the water chestnut, dog bone, nanobar, and octahedron, which are not easily accessible via a direct seed-growth synthesis approach, can be prepared via overgrowth of the same gold nanorods by varying pH and Ag concentrations in the growth solution. Overgrown nanostructures' shapes were determined by the rate of gold atom deposition, which is faster at higher pH. In the presence of AgNO3, codeposition of gold and silver atoms affects the shapes of overgrown nanostructures, particularly at high pH.
