Characterization of CeO2-NiO Thin Film Produced by Jet Nebuliser Technique
Abstract: CeO2 –NiO composite solution was sprayed as thin films by using JET nebulizer technique at the substrate temperature of 250°C. The film was characterized by X-ray diffractometer and crystallite size, lattice constant, crystallinities, phase transformations were measured. The UV-Vis spectrometer analysis was used to calculate the band gap, absorbance and percentage of transmission of the thin films was reported. The emission and excitation spectra of the sample were reported. The …

Trichoderma Based Synthesis of Silver Oxide Nanoparticles, Their Characterization and Assessment of Antifungal Activity
Abstract: The fungal spore suspension of Trichoderma harzianum was used for the preparation of AgO nanoparticles. T. harzianum spore suspension acts as reducing and stabilizing agent for the fabrication of nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-analysis (EDAX) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The AgO nanoparticles were circular in shape with average diameter 10-20 nm. The AgO nanoparticles showed promising antifungal …

Silver Nanoparticles for Enhancement of Antibiotic Antimicrobial Therapy
Abstract: With the current rise in antimicrobial resistance and infections resulting in high mortality and morbidity. There is need for novel strategies to combat these challenges such as nanoparticle technology has offered excellent opportunities. The use of metal nanoparticles such as silver with well-established antimicrobial activity conjugated with other antimicrobials has the potential to overcome the challenge of drug resistance due to its multiple mechanisms of action against microbes. This reveal …
