Project description:Green synthetic protocol refers to the development of processes for the sustainable production of chemicals and materials. For the synthesis of various biologically active compounds, energy-efficient and environmentally benign processes are applied, such as microwave irradiation technology, ultrasound-mediated synthesis, photo-catalysis (ultraviolet, visible and infrared irradiation), molecular sieving, grinding and milling techniques, etc. Thesemethods are considered sustainable technology and become valuable green protocol to synthesize new drug molecules as theyprovidenumerous benefits over conventional synthetic methods.Based on this concept, oxadiazole derivatives are synthesized under microwave irradiation technique to reduce the formation of byproduct so that the product yield can be increased quantitatively in less reaction time. Hence, the synthesis of drug molecules under microwave irradiation follows a green chemistry approach that employs a set of principles to minimize or remove the utilization and production of hazardous toxic materials during the design, manufacture and application of chemical substances.This approach plays a major role in controlling environmental pollution by utilizing safer solvents, catalysts, suitable reaction conditions and thereby increases the atom economy and energy efficiency. Oxadiazole is a five-membered heterocyclic compound that possesses one oxygen and two nitrogen atoms in the ring system.Oxadiazole moiety is drawing considerable interest for the development of new drug candidates with potential therapeutic activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, anticonvulsant, anticancer, antimalarial, antitubercular, anti-asthmatic, antidepressant, antidiabetic, antioxidant, antiparkinsonian, analgesic and antiinflammatory, etc. This review focuses on different synthetic approaches of oxadiazole derivatives under microwave heating method and study of their various biological activities.

Project description:Sporopollenin exine capsules (SECs) extracted from Lycopodium clavatum spores are an attractive biomaterial possessing a highly robust structure suitable for microencapsulation strategies. Despite several decades of research into SEC extraction methods, the protocols commonly used for L. clavatum still entail processing with both alkaline and acidolysis steps at temperatures up to 180?°C and lasting up to 7 days. Herein, we demonstrate a significantly streamlined processing regimen, which indicates that much lower temperatures and processing durations can be used without alkaline lysis. By employing CHN elemental analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and dynamic image particle analysis (DIPA), the optimum conditions for L. clavatum SEC processing were determined to include 30?hours acidolysis at 70?°C without alkaline lysis. Extending these findings to proof-of-concept encapsulation studies, we further demonstrate that our SECs are able to achieve a loading of 0.170?±?0.01?g BSA per 1?g SECs by vacuum-assisted loading. Taken together, our streamlined processing method and corresponding characterization of SECs provides important insights for the development of applications including drug delivery, cosmetics, personal care products, and foods.

Project description:Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was synthesized from a simple, cost-effective, and eco-friendly method by using Capsicum annuum (CA) as reducing agent. The rGO was mixed with SnO2 to synthesize a nanocomposite. The synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-visible spectroscopy techniques. The SnO2-C. annuum reduced graphene oxide (CRGO) nanocomposite exhibited a photodegradation efficiency of 97.4% when employed to remove methylene green (MG) dye. The synthesized nanocomposite showed improved photodegradation ability due to its high charge transfer and separation and owing to the presence of the large surface area of the CRGO network system. Degraded water was used in the plant and animal survival study, in which the dye solution treated with CRGO nanocomposite exhibited better growth compared to that of untreated MG solution. Likewise, in the ecotoxicity study, Artemia salina and zebra fish (Danio rerio) survival was found to be enhanced with CRGO nanocomposite-treated dye solution. This finding supports the effectiveness of CRGO/SnO2 nanocomposite for the treatment of MG dye-contaminated effluent samples.

Project description:A detailed investigation into the synthesis of green-emitting powders of Cs4PbBr6 and CsPbBr3 materials by antisolvent precipitation from CsBr-PbBr2 precursor solutions in dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is reported. Various solvated lead bromide and polybromide species (PbBr2, [PbBr3]-, [PbBr4]2-, and possibly [PbBr5]3-or [PbBr6]4-) are detected in the precursor solutions by optical absorbance and emission spectroscopies. The solvodynamic size of the species in solution is strongly solvent-dependent: ~1 nm species were detected in DMSO, while significantly larger species were observed in DMF by dynamic light scattering. The solvodynamic size of the lead bromide species plays a critical role in determining the Cs-Pb-Br composition of the precipitated powders: smaller species favor the precipitation of Cs4PbBr6, while larger species template the formation of CsPbBr3 under identical experimental conditions. The powders have been characterized by 133Cs and 207Pb solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, and 133Cs sensitivity toward the different Cs environments within Cs4PbBr6 is demonstrated. Finally, the possible origins of green emission in Cs4PbBr6 samples are discussed. It is proposed that a two-dimensional Cs2PbBr4 inclusion may be responsible for green emission at ~520 nm in addition to the widely acknowledged CsPbBr3 impurity, although we found no conclusive experimental evidence supporting such claims.

Project description:A broad variety of oxygen-substituted diaryl ketones has been synthesized by solar energy-induced Friedel Crafts acylations of 1,4-benzo- and 1,4-naphthoquinones with benzaldehydes. The in vitro antiproliferative properties of the photoproducts were assessed on prostate (DU-145), bladder (T24) and breast (MCF7) human-derived tumor cell lines and compared to non-tumor mouse fibroblasts (Balb/3T3). Among the tested compounds, it was found that those containing a 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl A-ring, such as 12 and 22 are more active on DU-145, with EC50 values of 1.2 and 5.9 ?M, respectively. By comparing their effects on the three cancer cell lines, the analogue 22 has the best mean selective index (2.4).

Project description:Graphene film grown by chemical vapor deposition using Cu substrate is promising for industrial applications. After etching the Cu substrate, which is essential step in graphene transfer process, the etchant solution must be chemically treated to prevent water pollution. Here we investigated that a method of reusing Cu etchant used to synthesize graphene, the synthesis of graphene on the resulting reused Cu films (R-G), and the application of R-G to organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The turn-on voltage of OLEDs based on the R-G electrode was 4.2 V, and the efficiencies of OPVs based on the R-G electrode were 5.9-5.95%, that are similar to or better than those of the indium-tin-oxide-based devices. These results suggest that the reusing of Cu foil by the electroplating method could reduce the cost of graphene synthesis, thus opening a wide range of applications in graphene electronics.

Project description:Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) have gained much attention as light-emitting materials for light-conversion nano-phosphors and luminescent solar concentrators. Unfortunately, those CQDs involve toxic heavy metals and frequently need to be synthesized in the hazardous organic solvent. In addition, they suffer from severe solid-state aggregation-induced self-quenching and reabsorption losses. To address these issues, here we prepare Zn-coordinated glutathione-stabilized gold-nanocluster (Zn-GSH-AuNCs) assemblies without involving heavy metals and organic solvent. Unlike GSH-AuNCs dispersed in an aqueous solution with poor photoluminescence quantum yields (PL-QYs, typically ~1%), those Zn-GSH-AuNCs powders hold high solid-state PL-QYs up to 40 ± 5% in the aggregated state. Such Zn-induced coordination-enhanced emission (CEE) is attributed to the combined effects of suppressed non-radiative relaxation and enhanced charge-transfer interaction. In addition, they also exhibit a large Stokes shift, thus mitigating both aggregation-induced self-quenching and reabsorption losses. Motivated by these photophysical properties, we demonstrated white-light emission from all non-toxic, aqueous-synthesis nano-materials.

Project description:VO2(B) has shown excellent cathode performance in lithium batteries and become a hot research topic in recent years. A stripped vanadium solution extracted from vanadium-bearing shale containing a high concentration of vanadium and certain amounts of impurities was used as a vanadium source to synthesize VO2(B) by hydrothermal process. The VO2 conversion rate can reach as high as 99.47% in a reaction time of 8 h, and this is the highest result reported. The crystalline structure and morphology of the synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Furthermore, the electrochemical properties of VO2(B) in lithium-ion batteries were investigated. The results indicated that the VO2(B) has the initial specific discharge capacity of 192.0 mAh g-1. Stripped vanadium solution is a raw material for producing V2O5 and NH4VO3, which are indispensable vanadium sources in VO2 synthesis. Therefore, synthesis of VO2 via hydrothermal reduction by oxalic acid using stripped vanadium solution extracted from vanadium-bearing shale as a direct vanadium source is an eco-friendly, innovative and efficient method, and will have a great impact on VO2 synthesis.

Project description:We show here the first colloidal synthesis of double perovskite Cs2AgInCl6 nanocrystals (NCs) with a control over their size distribution. In our approach, metal carboxylate precursors and ligands (oleylamine and oleic acid) are dissolved in diphenyl ether and reacted at 105 °C with benzoyl chloride. The resulting Cs2AgInCl6 NCs exhibit the expected double perovskite crystal structure, are stable under air, and show a broad spectrum white photoluminescence (PL) with quantum yield of ?1.6 ± 1%. The optical properties of these NCs were improved by synthesizing Mn-doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs through the simple addition of Mn-acetate to the reaction mixture. The NC products were characterized by the same double perovskite crystal structure, and Mn doping levels up to 1.5%, as confirmed by elemental analyses. The effective incorporation of Mn ions inside Cs2AgInCl6 NCs was also proved by means of electron spin resonance spectroscopy. A bright orange emission characterized our Mn-doped Cs2AgInCl6 NCs with a PL quantum yield as high as ?16 ± 4%.
