Hi everyone!
I am synthesizing cerium oxide nanoparticles using cerium nitrate hexahydrate salt. Initially when I was preparing batches yield was between 40-50%. Suppose I am taking 50 mg salt the nanoparticles produced are 29 mg. After 2 years I am using same salt from same bottle but I am getting lesser yield of nanoparticles, there's no change in color and UV vis spectral scan of nanoparticles but yield is compromised. Since it is hydrated salt it is more liquid in bottle. Kindly give me suggestion about it.

Can anyone suggest something to resolve the issue of distorted friction images on the AFM? We tried several things: switching off the system and computer, reconnecting wires, changing tip, scan rate, scan angles, gain values, vibration table, and sample. The scans are taken in contact mode at a very low normal load. The topography images are still better but friction images are just noise. We are using the 5500 Agilent Technologies AFM (pretty old). Thank you.
Dear research community,

Title
Education's Role in Integrating Nanotechnology in the Curriculum for the Future
Abstract
In an age marked by rapid technological evolution, education and innovation form an inseparable nexus, especially in AI and nanotechnology. This chapter explores how education imparts knowledge and skills and cultivates Creativity and critical thinking crucial for transformative advancements. AI and nanotechnology, poised to reshape industries, are fundamentally influenced by educational foundations. Formal education equips individuals with both foundational principles and specialized expertise. Beyond knowledge, education fosters an environment for innovative thinking, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical understanding. Education emerges as the compass guiding responsible progress as these technologies navigate uncharted ethical and societal landscapes.
There s a call for the use of Nanotechnology for the preservation of agricultural products. But I feel this should be discouraged and unethical
One of the 20 fundamental vibrations of benzene occurs at 1309.8 cm^-1, corresponding to the B_2u symmetry. According to the rule of mutual exclusion, this vibration is forbidden in Raman and ATR spectroscopy. However, in a complex with benzene, we observe strong IR activity at 1309.8 cm^-1 in ATR. Why is this?
We are trying to nanocoat cells to protect the cells. Normally the cell surface is negative charge, so we treated cells with positive charged material as the first layer, then treated cells with negative charged material as the second layer. How can I measure the charges of cell surface to demonstrate that the nanocoating of cells is successful? We ever tried to use zeta-potential to measure the charges of cell surface, but it didn't work.
My process is reducing IrCl4 hydrate using NaBH4 in excess and adding Au NPs. What should be the expectation in peak shifting, should it shift from left or right. Current XRD data shows that shifting to the right occurs with explanation that the Ir particles attaches to the surface of the AuNP resulting in compression. However, from some of what I've read, it should be shifting to the left due to their differences in ionic radii and lattice expansion. Any insight or literature recommendation to help me clarify the concepts will be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I read 5-6 papers on ZnOAg nanocomposite, ZnoAg nano hybrid and zno@Ag.
In one paper they mentioned calcination but did not mention temperature 🌡️.
In others 2 they only dired product on 60 degree and 100degree.
In one paper they mentioned to dry on about 200degrees.
I am confused about this material as silver is involved and silver agglomerates at high temperatures.!
I need opinion from experts that I'm interested in ZnoAg nano hybrid, should we dry it only? Or we need to do a proper calcination?

Dear all,
I've managed to functionalise my multiwalled carbon nanotubes using H2SO4:HNO3 (3:1) and have proceeded to the washing step via centrifugation and decanting. However, I am still unable to attain a pH of 6 to 7 as recommended even after 8 washes with ultrapure water. I saw some mentions regarding using a strong base like NaOH but I was wondering if it would affect my already functionalised MWCNTs. Aside from that, I couldn't find the explanation behind this step. Does anyone know how to increase the pH of my functionalised MWCNTs and the importance of that step?

We have been synthesizing copper nanoparticles via chemical reduction method and using different capping agents to increase the stability of the copper nanoparticles as with the passage of time the color and oxidation state of copper nanoparticles vary.
We have so far tried immobilizing copper nanoparticles onto sepiolite, used capping agents like glycerol, tween80, CTAB and PVP. And different reducing agents including NaOH, glucose, ammonia, hydrazine and NaBH4 as well as ascorbic acid.
The synthesized nanoparticles attain brick red color and then turn black. We want to maintain the brick red color.
I will be grateful for your kind responses and guidance.
- Emerging technologies such as nanotechnology aim to improve our quality of life and to contribute to industrial competitiveness. The rapid scientific advance and the wide number of new applications for these technologies result in the commercialization and use of consumer products prior to the establishment of an appropriate regulatory context for the adequate management of the potential risks.
- Nanomaterials, particles with at least one dimension under 100nm in size, behave differently compared to their macro forms, the laws of magnetism change at those sizes, they can enhance the strength of a material is very low concentrations, etc. Hundreds of products are already in the market, e.g., batteries, paints, coatings, cosmetics, medicines, etc. However, these same novel properties may make their risks unpredictable and unknown.
- The concern about the potential hazards of these materials has been growing exponentially in the last years all over the world; as a result, regulations are arising to guaranty a safe use of nanotechnology. How can we describe the results from such projects by using the several issues that make the development of an appropriate regulatory context extremely difficult and the most important aspects to consider for this task?

The applications of nanotechnology, commonly incorporate industrial, medicinal, health and energy uses. These include more durable construction materials, therapeutic drug delivery, and higher density hydrogen fuel cells that are environmentally friendly. For human health, nanotechnology has tremendous interest in food detection and will be receiving more and more attention shortly. The food industry is eager to benefit from its revolutionary discovery as much as possible.
Some interesting nanotechnological applications like nanosteel, low friction aggregate components, switchable materials, glare free wiper free glasses, environmental multisensors, situation adapted driving mode are in the room of research which will become realistic in very future.

Dear All
Which are the best books on nano field by Indian authors ?
please share if you know
Dear Researchers, I would like to open this discussion, I think it could be interesting and we participants can learn much from each other :
Is it well known that the so called reduced-size effects in Material Science can originate different behaviors in different properties of a given material (this is also known as "Nanomaterials", or "Nanostructured Materials")
Hence the question:
All Nanomaterials have higher Electric Conductivity than its bulk-size respective part ? The logic is that the DOS (Density of States) becomes (theoretically) infinite for some values of Energy in the material (the typical graph of E vs. g(E) for 0D Materials, which distributes this Energy discrete values in peaks, speaking of the shape).
So, this makes me think that for all solid materials; sigma increases (for this values of Energies) when the dimensions of the material decrease.
Regards !:)
