    Facile Synthesis and Characterization of ZIF-8 Nanocrystals

    By Girish Mohanta, Sumandeep Kaur, Rupesh Kumar, A. K. Paul, Akash Deep

    Abstract: Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) are important subclass of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The ZIFs structure has zeolitic framework topologies wherein all tetrahedral atoms are transition metal ions and are bridged by imidazolate (IM) units. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a prototypical member of ZIF family, constituted from zinc metal ions and 2-methylimidazole as bridging linkers. ZIF-8 nanocrystals have gained significant research interest in recent past due to its applications in …

    Photo-Assisted Room Temperature Synthesis of Brightly Fluoresce ZnSe Quantum Dots in Aqueous Medium

    By Girish Mohanta, Navraj Singh Brar, Rupesh Kumar, A. K. Paul, Akash Deep

    Abstract: The ZnSe quantum dots (QDs) have gained considerable research interest as an alternative to heavy-metal-based QDs and are non-toxic, have strong emission in UV-blue region, and with wider band gap are suitable for doping various ions to tune their optical and electronics properties. For biological applications, aqueous stability of QDs is an indispensable prerequisite. Mercapto-carboxylic acids such as mercaptopropionic acids (MPA), thioglycolic acids (TGA), etc., are commonly used for providing …
