The misuse of antibiotics has led to the emergence of drug-resistant pathogens. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) may represent valuable alternative to antibiotics; nevertheless, the easy degradation due to environmental stress and proteolytic enzyme action, limits their use. So far, different strategies have been developed to overcome this drawback. Among them, glyc...
Continue readingZeolite interconversion is a widely used strategy due to its unique advantages in the synthesis of some zeolites. By using a long-chain quaternary amine as both a structure-directing agent and porogen, we have produced superior catalysts, which we named Hybrid Zeolites, as their structures are made of building units of different zeolite types. The properties of t...
Continue readingIn order to realize both efficient and stable perovskite solar cells, designing electron transport layer (ETL) is of crucial importance to withstand constant light illumination and thermal stress while maintaining high charge extractability. Herein, commonly used SnO2 nanoparticle-based ETL for perovskite solar cells is modified by ionic-salt ammonium chloride (NH4...
Continue readingAir fabrication of efficient and stable perovskite solar cells with substantial reproducibility is of importance for commercialization of perovskite solar cells. There has been little consensus on which halide is the best selection for thin 2D perovskite layer on 3D perovskite when processing in ambient air. In this work, the influence of humidity and halide ions i...
Continue readingTechnological development is leading to an exponential growth in the implementation of sensors and actuators where the concern about environmental problems is also focusing on electronic waste (e-waste), which is composed of hazardous materials, corresponding to a large part of urban waste, and has a strong environmental impact. Therefore, more environmentally frie...
Continue readingOrganic single-crystalline structures can effectively generate and confine photons, which can be potential building blocks for the optical circuits. While designing of organic molecules can tune the photoluminescence (PL) property, it is challenging to achieve efficient laser emission and light resonance in different forms of molecular aggregates. Herein, a dicarbo...
Continue readingLuminescent lanthanide coordination polymer crystals (LCPCs) represent an area of growing interest in materials chemistry owing to their unique and tailorable functional properties. The LCPCs provide a high level of structural tunability, including size- and morphology-dependent properties; therefore, they are promising materials for next-generation phosphors in a ...
Continue readingThe present work included using transferred charge complex reaction in the assay of Hydrochlorothiazide using Alizarin Red S as an electron acceptor. The method is based on direct spectrophotometric estimation of hydrochlorothiazide by its reaction with Alizarin Red –S in absolute methanol media through forming a red charge transfer complex solution that give...
Continue readingExcessive macrophage activation induces the release of high levels of inflammatory mediators which not only amplify chronic inflammation and degenerative diseases but also exacerbate fever and retard wound healing. To identify anti-inflammatory molecules, we examined Carallia brachiata—a medicinal terrestrial plant from Rhizophoraceae. Furofuran lignans [(&...
Continue readingThe main cause of non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infection in humans is ingestion of contaminated animal-derived foods such as eggs, poultry and dairy products. These infections highlight the need to develop new preservatives to increase food safety. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have the potential to be further developed as food preservative agents and join nisi...
Continue readingDengue is a viral infection spread by mosquitos that occur in tropical and subtropical areas in the world. Presently, there is no directly acting drug against Dengue Virus (DeNV) for clinical use. Therefore, developing new medicines is required to control the severity of outbreaks. In this proceeding, several bioactive compounds 1–3 isolated from marine-deriv...
Continue readingPoly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide-co-maleic acid) (p(AA-co-AM-co-MA)) superabsorbent polymer was synthesized from acrylic acid (AA), acrylamide (AM), and maleic acid (MA) via free radical copolymerization. Results showed the presence of maleic acid in structure of superabsorbent has the key and superior role in creating a smart superabsorbent. The structure, morpho...
Continue readingThe current investigation deals with the simple and ecological synthesis of CaO, MgO, CaTiO3, and MgTiO3 for the photocatalytic dilapidation of rhodamine B dye. CaO was procured from chicken eggshell waste by calcination process, while MgO was produced by solution combustion method using urea as a fuel source. Furthermore, CaTiO3 and MgTiO3 were synthesized throu...
Continue readingIn this paper, three new donor–acceptor complex forms (zBC) containing a helical-shape dibenzocarbazole analog (DBCz) as the electron donor and 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) as the electron acceptor via a simple solution-processing strategy are reported. The beginning components self-assembled into supramolecular frameworks with glamorous alignment modes...
Continue readingCircularly polarized luminescence (CPL) can be generated from chiral luminescent materials. It can also be achieved from achiral emissive dyes by selectively filtering their fluorescence with chiroptical active materials. In this work, a novel polydiacetylene-based supramolecular chiral gel is fabricated as a handedness-selective fluorescence filter for generatin...
