    Environmentally sustainable fabrication of SnO2/fly ash/biochar nanocomposite for enhanced photocatalytic performance for degradation of Ofloxacin and Rose Bengal

    Characterization

    X-ray diffraction analysis

    The XRD pattern shows the crystalline structure and purity of the produced SnO2/FA/Biochar nanocomposite. The XRD patterns of pure SnO2 NPs (Fig. S1) show firm peaks at 2θ values of 26.59, 33.88, 37.95,…

  • Plasmonic nanorod and dimer chiral molecule sensing from cysteine monolayer to bi-layers and multilayered shells

    Plasmonic nanorod and dimer chiral molecule sensing from cysteine monolayer to bi-layers and multilayered shells

    Chiral properties of the single and dimer AuNR assemblies

    We first investigated the CD signal of AuNRs and pure Cys. Zero CD signal is observed for pure AuNRs in the absence of Cys molecules, consistent with the fact that AuNRs act as nonchiral…
