Abstract

Featuring the B-Ca3(PO4)2 phosphor system, Sr8ZnSc(PO4)7:Eu2+ (SZSPOE) phosphor can be used as an alternative to YAG:Ce3+ yellow phosphor for the advancement of the white light-emitting diode (WLED). Its potentials are demonstrated in this paper, including the expected emission power and wavelength based on the previous studies and its impacts on WLED illumination properties employing Mie-theory-based scattering simulation and calculation and MATLAB software. SZSPOE phosphor can display a wide yellow discharge peaking at 511 and 571 nm and a redshift upon the increase in doped Eu2+ dosage. A phosphor layer comprised of SZSPOE phosphor, SiO2 particles, and silicone gel is simulated for making a WLED. The WLED performance is observed with varying SiO2 amount. Changes in simulation results of the WLED’s lighting properties can be attributed to the scattering within the phosphor layer in response to different SiO2 concentrations. Results demonstrate that increasing SiO2 amount can lead to the better spatial color distribution uniformity and luminous output of the WLED. Meanwhile, the lower color rendering index is observed owing to the insufficient red light power. However, the improvement in color uniformity and luminosity alongside the emission tunability of the SZSPO host, SZSPOE phosphor can be a promising candidate for substituting the original YAG:Ce3+ for advanced WLEDs.

Abstract

Nanocomposites are often used as a catalyst in the pyrolysis of Al/Mg/KNO3 rocket igniter charge. Because the synthesis of the nanocomposites has a negative impact on the environment, in this study, the nanocomposite of ZnO-Fe2O3 was synthesized using a green synthesis method based on the aqueous fraction of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. leaf extract. The secondary metabolites contained in the extract were tested. ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was characterized using Ultra-Violet-Visible Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV Vis-DRS), Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Particle Size Analyzer (PSA), Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM).The thermal decomposition process of Al/Mg/KNO3 with and without ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite was analyzed using Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) and Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA). As a result, ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite is successfully synthesized, proven by UV-Vis DRS, FT-IR, XRD, and SEM-EDS analysis. It highlights the effectiveness of aqueous leaves extract of Syzygium polyanthum (Wight) Walp. as a capping agent because of the secondary metabolites. Based on PSA and TEM characterization, the particle size is 17.37 nm. The TGA curves demonstrate that the addition of ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite lowers the activation energy for decomposition of Al/Mg/KNO3, from 58.71 kJ/mol to 52.07 kJ/mol, as well as reduces the stage in the decomposition process. A particular reason lies on the role of ZnO-Fe2O3 nanocomposite in reducing the activation energy of the thermal decomposition ofKNO3.

Abstract

Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) refers to a perovskite structure compound reported to have photocatalyst properties. It is well-known that modifying the particle morphology is found to be capable of enhancing the photocatalytic activity as it can increase the reaction sites on the solid surface. Molten salt synthesis is one of the compound synthesis methods to produce the homogeneous particle size as well as the unique morphology. One of the parameters determining the product compound obtained using the molten salt method is the type of salt used. In this study, the SrTi0.95Fe0.05O3 was synthesized by the molten salt method using NaCl, KCl, and NaCl/KCl salt. It also studied the effects of chloride salt type to structure, vibration mode, morphology particle, band gap energy, and thermal stability of product samples. The diffractograms showed that SrTi0.95Fe0.05O3 were successfully synthesized; however, the sample obtained using molten KCl salt had the impurities of TiO2, and SrCO3 (residual of precursors) indicating that the KCl flux was insufficient to make a complete reaction. The characteristic of infrared vibration modes of the SrTiO3 compound were found in all samples. The image of scanning electron microscopy showed that all particle morphology was in the quadrate-particle shape, and the SrTi0.95Fe0.05O3-KCl sample had the smallest particles for having the largest surface area. The Kubelka-Munk equation calculation results showed that all samples’ band gap energy was approximately at ∼3 eV. The DSC curve showed a relatively similar pattern; therefore, the thermal stability properties of all samples were similar.

Abstract

In recent years, the utilization of copper-doped titanium dioxide (Cu-TiO2) photocatalysts in antimicrobial activity has received intensive attention from researchers, especially during the COVID 19 pandemic. However, the common synthesis method of Cu-TiO2 such as the sol-gel method would not be applicable in the industrial processes because of the low production yield of the photocatalysts. Besides, anatase TiO2 is always arguable due to its high cost and less stable after a long synthesis process. Therefore, in this study, the sonochemical method was utilized to produce the Cu-TiO2 photocatalysts using TiO2 rutile as a precursor. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized photocatalysts were examined via several instrumental techniques. As evidenced by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, all the Cu-TiO2 samples were formed in the rutile phase. Diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (DRUV-Vis) analysis results indicated the wavelength extension to the visible region upon Cu loading. The antibacterial properties of Cu-TiO2 photocatalysts were assessed via antibacterial testing using the Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus. The results indicated that the 5 mol% Cu-TiO2 achieved the highest antibacterial efficiency of 75.8% under visible light irradiation for 1 hour. The current findings suggest that the Cu-TiO2 photocatalysts could be produced via a straightforward and cost-effective synthesis method, which may continue with large-scale production and for application as an antimicrobial agent.

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a physiological abnormality in the kidneys whose prevalence is expected to continue to increase. On the other hand, Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is known to have the potential to manage CKD. This study explores the compound content of M. charantia ethanol extract (MCEE) and its potential for CKD based on in vitro assays. To model chronic kidney disease (CKD), SV40 MES-13 (mouse glomerular mesangial) cells were exposed for 3 days to 20 mM glucose. After glucose induction, the cells were subjected with different concentrations of MCEE (Momordica charantia L. ethanolic extract). The chemical profile of MCEE was analyzed using LC/MS-MS. Cell viability was examined through the WST assay, while intracellular ROS and apoptosis levels were measured by flowcytometry. Colorimetry was used to analyze SOD, MDA, and CAT levels. ELISA was used to analyze inflammatory proteins (TGF-β 1, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β ) levels. Meanwhile, the relative gene expression of SMAD-2, SMAD-3, SMAD-4, SMAD-7 was examined through qRT-PCR. The results exhibited that MCEE contains cucurbitane p-coumaric, ferulic acid, caffeic acid, gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and epicatechin. MCEE was also known to be non-toxic to SV40 MES-13 cells. In addition, MCEE reduced intracellular ROS levels, MDA, necrosis levels, and inflammatory proteins, while also regulating SMAD-2, SMAD-3, and SMAD-4 gene expression. MCEE increased levels of CAT, and SOD, and regulated SMAD-7 gene expression in the CKD cells model. The most effective MCEE is MCEE 50 μg/mL. MCEE demonstrated potential as a CKD treatment based on in vitro studies through TGF/SMADs signaling activity, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and apoptosis inducer.

Abstract

Avicennia officinalis L. (AOL), a mangrove plant, is extensively used as an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant which has traditionally utilized this plant as herbal in Vietnam. In preliminary phytochemical screening, the methanol and aqueous leaf extracts showed high levels of bioactive compounds including glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenes. To identify the major compounds in five extracts of AOL (leaves, flowers, fruits, roots, and bark), the quantitative HPLC/PDA technique was utilized. It was discovered that the total flavonoid content and total phenolic content were 52.55±0.070 and 16.59±0.030 mg/g extract, respectively. The result of antioxidant activity in vitro was shown leave and bark extract with the strongest activity (citric acid aqueous leave with EC50 =43.52 µg/mL in DPPH assay and tartaric acid aqueous bark extract with 30.69% of inhibition in TBRAS assay). Citric acid aqueous leaf extract (CALE) demonstrated 17.08% of the protective activity against CCl4-induced hepatoxicity in HepG2 cells (p < 0.05). CALE was standardized in order to assess its potential hepatoprotective effects against a mouse model of paracetamol-induced liver injury. The extract was administered orally to the animals at two different dosage levels (200 and 400 mg/kg b.wt.). For a duration of one week, the dosage was administered once daily. By improving the blood levels of biochemical, AOL demonstrated a notable dose-dependent hepatoprotective effect. The action of the standardized AOL was found to be similar to that of silymarin. AOL collected in Vietnam has a lot of potential to become a traditional medicine source.

Abstract

The partition dimension of a graph is determined by minimum number of vertex partitions such that every vertex has different distances to the ordered partitions. A complete graph is very easy to determine its partition dimension because each vertex has the same distance to other vertices. However, what are the partition dimension if a complete graph is modified so that it becomes a daisy graph. In this paper, we discuss the partition dimension of daisy graphs. Next, we will also provide barbell graph operations on daisy graphs.

Abstract

The synthesis of [Co(HBZAP)(OAC)2]2H2O and [Zn(HBZAP)(OAC)2] H2O complexes was successfully performed through reflux in connection with the Schiff bases synthesized with metal salt acetate hydrate. Identification of the synthesized complexes was performed by Fourier transform infrared FTIR, UV-Vis, magnetic moment,1H, and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction XRD. These studies show the Schiff base ligand as bidentate due to oxygen from the phenolic group and nitrogen from the azomethane group for complexation with Co(II) and Zn(II), resulting in a tetrahedral configuration of the complexes around the metal ions. Conductivity measurements in DMSO demonstrated that none of the complexes would permit the conduction of electricity. Co3O4 and ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized from these Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes. FTIR and UV-Vis spectra, as well as FE-SEM images, were used to identify the synthesized nanostructures. These results show that the Co3O4 and ZnO nanoparticles have cubic and hexagonal systems, respectively. The average crystallite sizes of Co3O4 and ZnO are 36.5 and 31.9 nm, respectively. These nanoparticles show excellent photocatalytic activity when used under UV light to degrade Congo red dye in aqueous media for 120 minutes of 91.4% and 60.6%.
