Influence of impurities on the use of Fe-based powder as sustainable fuel.

Sustainable energy production, inherently transient and non-uniformly distributed around the world, requires the rapid development of sustainable energy storage technologies. Recently, pure iron powder was proposed as a high-energy density carrier. While promising, challenges are faced, such as nanoparticle emissions, micro-explosions or cavitation. In this work, a screening of the impact of the most common impurities in iron sources on these mechanisms was conducted through purely thermodynamic simulations. Two idealized models were considered to obtain a range of plausible flame temperatures and emitted gases when considering a purely diffusive regime in standard conditions and stoichiometric air-fuel mixture. The flame temperature and iron evaporation are increasing with the specific energy. A strong evaporation of C, S, Mo, Cu and P is also expected. Most impurities are predicted to decrease cavitation, except for Mn and MnO. The regeneration process by hydrogen-based direct reduction in fluidized bed reactors is also discussed. MgO and CaO are the most promising additions in terms of reducing nanoparticles and porosities, as well as to improve the fluidization and reduction kinetics of the combusted products. The potential of Fe powder as sustainable fuel, already very promising, could be further improved by the addition of selectively chosen impurities.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue 'Sustainable metals: science and systems'.

Influence of local meteorology and gaseous pollutant emissions on atmospheric nanoparticle concentrations in a pedestrian way in urban region

The roadside environment is one of the major sources of nanoparticle emission in the urban regions. The complex mixture of different pollutants makes it hard to understand the dynamics and behavior of nanoparticles. The study aims to analyze the dynamics of atmospheric nanoparticles ranging from 10 to 1000 nm along with local meteorological conditions and gaseous pollutants in a pedestrian way at a busy street in Delhi, a megalopolis in India, during all five major seasons of the study area. Nucleation mode particles were higher during the spring season, whereas the contribution of Aitken mode particles dominated the total particle number concentrations in the rest of the seasons. Due to the influence of vehicular sources, rush hour concentrations were higher than during non-rush hours. Thus, the diurnal pattern in particle concentration strongly coincided with emissions associated with the vehicular flow. During the winter season, the average total particle number concentration was observed to be maximum (4.1 × 104 cm-3) with a higher surface area of particles of 3.5 × 10-3 mm2m-3. Compared to the monsoon season, the concentration of NOX was 5 times higher in winter. The boundary layer height in the study region ranged from 600 to 2400 m during different seasons, and the maximum ventilation coefficient was observed to be >3000 m2s-1 during summer. Precipitation reduced the concentration of particles by half, from 2.2 x 104 to 1.1 x 104 cm-3, due to wet scavenging. The study revealed that the concentrations of particles depend not only on primary emissions but also are influenced by local meteorology and other co-emitted pollutants. Understanding the dynamics of atmospheric nanoparticles in urban roadside environments as outlined in this study is crucial to devise necessary mitigation measures for people residing near the road in order to reduce health impact and improve air quality.

Inverted Red Quantum Dot Light-Emitting Diodes with ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Zinc Acetate Dihydrate and Potassium Hydroxide in Open and Closed Systems

We developed inverted red quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) with ZnO nanoparticles synthesized in open and closed systems. Wurtzite-structured ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized using potassium hydroxide and zinc acetate dihydrate at various temperatures in the open and closed systems. The particle size increases with increasing synthesis temperature. The ZnO nanoparticles synthesized at 50, 60, and 70 °C in the closed system have an average particle size of 3.2, 4.0, and 5.4 nm, respectively. The particle size is larger in the open system compared to the closed system as the methanol solvent evaporates during the synthesis process. The surface defect-induced emission in ZnO nanoparticles shifts to a longer wavelength and the emission intensity decreases as the synthesis temperature increases. The inverted red QLEDs were fabricated with a synthesized ZnO nanoparticle electron transport layer. The driving voltage of the inverted QLEDs decreases as the synthesis temperature increases. The current efficiency is higher in the inverted red QLEDs with the ZnO nanoparticles synthesized in the closed system compared to the devices with the nanoparticles synthesized in the open system. The device with the ZnO nanoparticles synthesized at 60 °C in the closed system exhibits the maximum current efficiency of 5.8 cd/A.

Cathodoluminescent and Characteristic X-Ray-Emissive Rare-Earth-Doped Core/Shell Protein Labels for Spectromicroscopic Analysis of Cell Surface Receptors.

Understanding the localization and the interactions of biomolecules at the nanoscale and in the cellular context remains challenging. Electron microscopy (EM), unlike light-based microscopy, gives access to the cellular ultrastructure yet results in grey-scale images and averts unambiguous (co-)localization of biomolecules. Multimodal nanoparticle-based protein labels for correlative cathodoluminescence electron microscopy (CCLEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectromicroscopy (EDX-SM) are presented. The single-particle STEM-cathodoluminescence (CL) and characteristic X-ray emissivity of sub-20 nm lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are exploited as unique spectral fingerprints for precise label localization and identification. To maximize the nanoparticle brightness, lanthanides are incorporated in a low-phonon host lattice and separated from the environment using a passivating shell. The core/shell nanoparticles are then functionalized with either folic (terbium-doped) or caffeic acid (europium-doped). Their potential for (protein-)labeling is successfully demonstrated using HeLa cells expressing different surface receptors that bind to folic or caffeic acid, respectively. Both particle populations show single-particle CL emission along with a distinctive energy-dispersive X-ray signal, with the latter enabling color-based localization of receptors within swift imaging times well below 2 min per 2 while offering high resolution with a pixel size of 2.78 nm. Taken together, these results open a route to multi-color labeling based on electronspectromicroscopy.

Magnetite nanoparticles from representative coal fired power plants in China: Dust removal capture and their final atmospheric emission

Information on the emission of coal combustion-sourced magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) is lacking, which is critical for their health-related risks. In this study, MNPs in coal fly ashes (CFAs) from various coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) in China equipped with various dust removal devices were extracted and quantified using single particle ICP-MS. The number concentrations of MNPs in CFAs captured by dust removal increased with stage, while their size decreased. Among all the dust removal devices, electrostatic-fabric-integrated precipitators showed the best removal of MNPs. Furthermore, throughout all the coal combustion by-products in a typical CFPP, MNPs in EFA (fly ash escaped from the stack) showed the highest number concentration (1.2 × 107 particles/mg) and lowest size (78 nm). Although the mass of CFA escaping through the stack is extremely low, it still had an emission rate of 1.9 × 1015 particles/h, contributing 3.56 % of the total emissions of MNPs in number. In addition, the purity of MNPs and their associated toxic metals showed a size-dependent variation pattern. As the particle size of MNPs decreased, the proportion of Fe in MNPs increased from 43 % in bottom ash (BA) to 84 % in EFA, while the abundance of trace toxic metals in EFA was 3.3 times higher than that of BA. These MNPs with the highest purity can adsorb elevated concentrations of toxic metals, and can be discharged directly into the atmosphere, posing a risk of synergistic toxicity.

Upconversion nanoparticles-CuMnO2 nanoassemblies for NIR-excited imaging of reactive oxygen species in vivo

Here, we designed a ratiometric luminescent nanoprobe based on lanthanide-doped upconversion nanoparticles-CuMnO2 nanoassemblies for rapid and sensitive detection of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in living cells and mouse. CuMnO2 nanosheets exhibit a wide absorption range of 300–700 nm, overlapping with the visible-light emission of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs), resulting in a significant upconversion luminescence quenching. In an acidic environment, H2O2 can promote the redox reaction of CuMnO2, leading to its dissociation from the surface of UCNPs and the restoration of upconversion luminescence. The variation in luminescence intensity ratio (UCL475/UCL450) were monitored to detect ROS levels. The H2O2 nanoprobe exhibited a linear response in the range of 0.314–10 μM with a detection limit of 11.3 nM. The biological tests proved the excellent biocompatibility and low toxicity of obtained UCNPs-CuMnO2 nanoassemblies. This ratiometric luminescent nanoprobe was successfully applied for the detection of exogenous and endogenous ROS in live cells as well as in vivo ROS quantitation. The dual transition metal ions endow this probe efficient catalytic decomposition capabilities, and this sensing strategy broadens the application of UCNPs-based nanomaterials in the field of biological analysis and diagnosis.

Relationship among micro-pollutants, economic growth, renewable energy, nanotechnology and ecological foot prints of China: evidence from panel data analysis.

An important concern is the availability of clean drinking water, which is an essential need for human survival. This issue arises due to the existence of hazardous micropollutants originating from various emission sources. Nanotechnology aids in the mitigation of micropollutants by assimilating and counteracting their effects, hence diminishing their influence on water and other ecosystems. The study investigates the relationship between nanotechnological progress, the adoption of renewable energy, environmental consequences, and economic growth in China, using the Environmental Kuznets Curve theory as a conceptual framework. The study employs panel cointegration tests to analyze structural breaks from 2000 to 2020. Nanotechnology is expected to reduce environmental degradation and the presence of micro-pollutants by increasing the use of renewable energy and promoting energy conservation. Nanotechnology is crucial for mitigating micro-pollutants and advancing sustainable development in this specific context. However, the literature also highlights the harmful consequences of nanoparticle emissions caused by nanotechnology on human and environmental health for a long duration, requiring more examination. This research is the first empirical inquiry into the relationship between improvements in nanotechnology, the use of renewable energy, economic growth, and ecological effect, all within the context of the Environmental Kuznets Curve theory. The results confirm the successful incorporation of all components with a focus on long-term outcomes. The findings suggest that the EKC hypothesis is relevant in China. In China, advancements in nanotechnology have a moderating effect on environmental degradation. The use of renewable energy sources in China enhances environmental circumstances. Given the offered empirical evidence, it is advisable for the government to have a leading role in the development of innovative nanotechnologies that have low emissions of nanoparticles. By using this approach, it will be possible to encourage the conservation of energy and the use of renewable sources in a more secure way, hence improving the effectiveness of sustainable development initiatives.

Polymer Nanoparticles for Preferential Delivery of Drugs Only by Exploiting the Slightly Elevated Temperature of Cancer Cells and Real-Time Monitoring of Drug Release.

Rapid proliferation and a faster rate of glycolysis in cancer cells often result in an elevated local temperature (40-43 °C) at the tumor site. Nanoparticles prepared from polymers with two lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) can be utilized to take advantage of this subtle temperature elevation to deliver anticancer drugs preferably to the cancer cells, thereby enhancing the overall therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects. In this direction, we synthesized N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP) and substituted NVP (sub-NVP: C2-NVP, C4-NVP)-based polymers with precisely controlled LCSTs by varying the ratio of NVP and sub-NVP. The first LCST (LCST1) was kept below 37 °C to promote self-assembly, drug loading, and structural stability in physiological conditions and the second LCST (LCST2) was in the range of 40-43 °C to ensure mild hyperthermia-induced drug release. Additionally, covalent attachment of tetraphenylethylene (TPE, AIEgen) resulted in aggregation-induced emission in thermoresponsive micellar nanoparticles in which TPE acted as a Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) pair with the loaded anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX). Tracking of FRET-induced fluorescence recovery of TPE molecules was utilized to confirm the real-time thermoresponsive release of DOX from nanoparticles and eventual localization of TPE in the cytoplasm and DOX in the nucleus. In vitro cellular studies such as cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and thermoresponsive drug release showed that the DOX-loaded polymeric nanoparticles were nontoxic to normal cells (HEK-293) but significantly more effective in cancer cells (MCF-7) at 40 °C. To our knowledge, this is the first report of preferential delivery of anticancer drugs only by exploiting the slightly elevated temperature of cancer cells.

Target-Triggered Self-Assembly of Single-Band Red Emission of Upconversion Nanoparticle-Based Dual-Signal Fluorescent Probes for Sensitive and Accurate Determination of microRNAs

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small molecules with significant regulatory functions that have served as biomarkers for the early diagnosis of disease. Accordingly, it is purposeful to develop a rapid, targeted assay for the sensitive, selective, and determination of target miRNAs. Single-band red emission of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) offer high photostability, large anti-Stokes shifts, and low background. Additionally, improving the accuracy via dual-signal fluorescence is also effective for reducing false positive signals induced by background. Herein, taking advantage of the single-band red emission of UCNPs and DNA complementary nanotechnologies, a target-triggered self-assembled dual-signal response biosensor via a strand displacement cascade is reported. The reported approach was used for the determination of miRNA-222 (a model analyte) in serum and the results were similar to those obtained by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The spiked recoveries were from 92.5 to 108.4%, indicating that this biosensor has potential for accurate and sensitive determination of miRNAs in biological samples.

Formation of nanoparticles during accelerated UV degradation of fleece polyester textiles

Micro- and nanoplastics have emerged as critical pollutants in various ecosystems, posing potential environmental and human health risks. Washing of polyester textiles has been identified as one of the sources of nanoplastics. However, other stages of the textile life cycle may also release nanoparticles. This study aimed to examine nanoparticle release during UV degradation of polyester textiles under controlled and real-world conditions. Fleece polyester textiles were weathered under simulated sunlight for up to two months, either in air or submerged in water. We conducted bi-weekly SEM image analyses and quantified released nanoparticles using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). At week 0, the fiber surface appeared smooth after prewashing. In the air group, nanoparticles appeared on the fiber surface after UV-exposure. In the group of textiles submerged in water, the surfaces developed more pits over time. The cumulative nanoparticle emission from the weathered textiles ranged from 1.4 × 1011 to 4.0 × 1011 particles per gram of fabric in the air group and from 1.6 × 1011 to 4.4 × 1011 particles per gram of fabric in the water group over two months. The predominant particle size fell into the 100 to 200 nm range. The estimated mass of the released nanoparticles was 0.06–0.26 g per gram of fabric, which is lower than the amount released during the washing of new textiles. Additionally, Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy (STXM) images indicated that the weathered nanoparticles underwent oxidation. Overall, the research offers valuable insights into nanoparticle formation and release from polyester textiles during UV degradation.

Bright blue-red emission and Optothermal behaviour of Sm(DBM)3Phen complex and amorphous silica nanoparticles

In the present article, we synthesise the Sm(DBM)3phen (SmDP), silica nanoparticles (SiNP) and Sm(DBM)3phen functionalized SiNPs (SiNP_SmDP), which were prepared using the modified Stober method. SEM images revealed an average Si NPs diameter of ∼324 nm. The absorption spectra of the samples showed broad absorption bands in the UV-blue region. Photoluminescence spectra revealed the broadband emission of SiNP centred at 435 nm; and sharp emission peaks corresponding to SmDP due to Sm3+ ion at 567 nm, 609 nm, and 650 nm ascribed due to the transitions 4G5/2 → 6H5/2, 4G5/2 → 6H7/2, and 4G5/2 → 6H9/2, respectively. The SiNP_SmDP's emission spectra consist of amalgam emission with broadband due to SiNP; and sharps peaks due to SmDP complex. Under 405 nm laser excitation, the opto-thermal properties of SiNP_SmDP were explored in the range 293K–313K temperature. CIE coordinate analysis illustrates how colour perception varies with temperature. The maximum sensitivities values are 0.00816 K−1, 1.6326%K−1 and 0.00974 K−1, 3.43743%K−1 corresponding to the transitions 4G5/2 → 6H5/2: 4G5/2 → 6H7/2 and 4G5/2 → 6H5/2: 4G5/2 → 6H9/2 of Sm3+ ions.

Heavy atom-induced quenching of fluorescent organosilicon nanoparticles for iodide sensing and total antioxidant capacity assessment.

We present a novel approach for iodide sensing based on the heavy-atom effect to quench the green fluorescent emission of organosilicon nanoparticles (OSiNPs). The fluorescence of OSiNPs was significantly quenched (up to 97.4% quenching efficiency) in the presence of iodide ions (I-) through oxidation by hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, OSiNPs can serve as a fluorescent probe to detect I- with high selectivity and sensitivity. The highly selective response is attributed to the hydrophilic surface enabling good dispersion in aqueous solutions and the lipophilic core allowing the generated liposoluble I2 to approach and quench the fluorescence of OSiNPs. The linear working range for I- was from 0 to 50 μM, with a detection limit of 0.1 μM. We successfully applied this nanosensor to determine iodine content in edible salt. Furthermore, the fluorescent OSiNPs can be utilized for the determination of total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Antioxidants reduce I2 to I-, and the extent of quenching by the remaining I2 on the OSiNPs indicates the TAC level. The responses to ascorbic acid, pyrogallic acid, and glutathione were investigated, and the detection limit for ascorbic acid was as low as 0.03 μM. It was applied to the determination of TAC in ascorbic acid tablets and fruit juices, indicating the potential application of the OSiNP-based I2 sensing technique in the field of food analysis.

Zinc and [Zinc, Nickel]: Co‑doped SnO2 nanoparticles as prospective electron transport layer materials for efficient lead free-MASnI3 perovskite solar cells

In this study, we explore the potential of both pristine and doped tin oxide (SnO2) as promising materials as the electron transport layer (ETL) for efficient lead free-methylammonium tin iodide (MASnI3) perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The pristine, Zinc (Zn) doped, and Nickel (Ni)-Zn co-doped SnO2 nanoparticles with a constant concentration of Zn while changing the concentration of Ni were synthesized by using the hydrothermal method. The effect of doping and co-doping on optical, structural, and electrical properties of SnO2 nanoparticles was investigated using different microscopic and spectroscopic tools. The X-ray diffractograms showed that pristine, doped, and co-doped SnO2 nanoparticles have better crystallinity and tetragonal rutile crystal structure. The fingerprint functional groups and elemental composition were confirmed by FTIR absorption peaks, EDX, and XPS, respectively. The UV–Vis DRS spectroscopy results revealed that the optical band gap reduced from 2.90 eV for pristine SnO2 to 2.26 eV for co-doped 1 wt (wt) % Ni-Zn-SnO2 nanoparticles and can be tuned with a variation of wt % of Ni. Further, the photoluminescence emissions of all SnO2 nanoparticles in the range of 307 to 494 nm are related to oxygen vacancies or defects. Moreover, BET results confirms larger surface area for 1 wt % Ni-Zn-SnO2, which can help in better electron-hole pair separation. The electrical conductivity studies confirm that the synthesized nanoparticles exhibit excellent ohmic contact behavior and show a notable increase in electrical conductivity for 1 wt% Ni-Zn-SnO2 nanoparticles. Further, the suitability of both pristine and doped SnO2 as ETL material for the MASnI3-based PSCs was simulated using SCAPS-1D software. The best power conversion efficiency of 29.60 % was achieved for FTO/1 wt % Ni-Zn-SnO2/MASnI3/Spiro-OMeTAD/Au. This investigation highlights the potential of co-doped materials as promising candidates for the development of efficient PSCs.

Notably, results reveal substantial variations in nanoparticle emissions among different filament materials, with ASA, TPU, PP, and ABS showing considerably elevated emission levels and characteristic particle size distribution patterns. The findings prompt practical recommendations for reducing nanoparticle exposure, emphasizing printer confinement, material selection, and adequate ventilation. This study offers insights into potential health risks associated with 3D printing emissions and provides a basis for adopting preventive measures.

A Study on Plasminogen-Ag Nanoparticles Interaction and its Application in Sensor Development

The interaction between plasminogen and Ag nanoparticles is studied using different techniques and applied for plasminogen sensor development. Ag nanoparticles are synthesized using an algal extract and their absorbance, emission, and electrochemical oxidation signals are detected and monitored as a function of plasminogen concentration. The variation in the optical and electrochemical properties of Ag nanoparticles is correlated with the changes in the hydrodynamic size of the bioconjugate at different plasminogen concentrations. A steady decrease in the absorbance and electrochemical oxidation peak of Ag nanoparticles is observed, while a threshold plasminogen concentration results in increasing the emission of Ag nanoparticles followed by a steady decrease in signal. The decrease in the optical and electrochemical oxidation signal of Ag nanoparticles agrees with the plasminogen-induced Ag nanoparticle agglomeration shown by dynamic light scattering. Calibration curves are established based on the absorbance, emission, and voltammetric studies obtaining a limit of detection as low as 0.740 nM with a wide linear range of 0.942-18.2 nM, which is a very promising analytical system for plasminogen detection, facilitating its progress as a biomarker for different biomedical applications.

Layer-by-layer assembly of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ UCNPs@Cystein and UCNPs@Cys-Ab as hybrid bio-optical sensors for E. coli bacteria

An innovative bio-optical Layer-by-Layer sensor was developed for the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. This groundbreaking sensor utilizes upconversion NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ nanoparticles (UCNPs) that have been modified with cysteine (UCNPs@Cys) and E. coli antibodies (UCNPs@Cys-Ab). The optical sensing system employed Layer-by-Layer (LbL) films of UCNPs, harnessing the emission of rare earth nanoparticles to detect the presence or absence of E. coli. The incorporation of Ab into the UCNPs@Cys nanoparticle was confirmed through SEM-EDS imaging, resulting in the formation of aggregated UCNPs@Cys-Ab microparticles with an approximate diameter of 2 μm. To further analyze the sensing capability, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was employed to examine the differences between the UCNPs@Cys and UCNPs@Cys-Ab sensors. The results indicated that the incorporation of antibodies to the optical system significantly enhanced sensor sensitivity. This improvement was evident in the expanded detection range, which spanned from 2 × 103–106 CFU/mL, and the remarkably low limit of detection (LOD) value of 34 CFU/mL. These findings highlight the extensive potential of the UCNPs@Cys-Ab as a sensor. Furthermore, it was demonstrated the sensor's enhanced sensitivity and broad detection range make it an invaluable tool for ensuring the well-being of communities by enabling effective management of potential E. coli contamination.

The interactions of subcellular organelles in pulmonary fibrosis induced by carbon black nanoparticles: a comprehensive review.

Owing to the widespread use and improper emissions of carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs), the adverse effects of CBNPs on human health have attracted much attention. In toxicological research, carbon black is frequently utilized as a negative control because of its low toxicity and poor solubility. However, recent studies have indicated that inhalation exposure to CBNPs could be a risk factor for severe and prolonged pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. At present, the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis induced by CBNPs is still not fully elucidated, but it is known that with small particle size and large surface area, CBNPs are more easily ingested by cells, leading to organelle damage and abnormal interactions between organelles. Damaged organelle and abnormal organelles interactions lead to cell structure and function disorders, which is one of the important factors in the development and occurrence of various diseases, including pulmonary fibrosis. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of organelle structure, function, and interaction mechanisms, while also summarizing the research advancements in organelles and organelle interactions in CBNPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
