One-Step Route to Luminescent Au18SG14 in the Condensed Phase and Its Closed Shell Molecular Ions in the Gas Phase
TL;DR: In this article, a one-step route for the synthesis of highly luminescent and water-soluble Au18SG14 (SG- glutathione in thiolate form) in nearly pure form using a slow reduction process was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Ionization from Carbon Nanotube Paper
TL;DR: Ambient ionization is achieved by spraying from a carbon nanotube (CNT)-impregnated paper surface under the influence of small voltages (≥3 V), and organic molecules give simple high-quality mass spectra without fragmentation in the positive or negative ion modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial silver: An unprecedented anion effect
Jakka Ravindran Swathy,M. Udhaya Sankar,Amrita Chaudhary,Sahaja Aigal,Sahaja Aigal,Anshup,Thalappil Pradeep +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the antibacterial and antiviral activities of Ag+ can be enhanced ~1,000 fold, selectively, in presence of carbonate ions whose concentration was maintained below the drinking water norms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uptake of Toxic Metal Ions from Water by Naked and Monolayer Protected Silver Nanoparticles: An X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopic Investigation
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical interaction of heavy metal ions such as Hg(II), HgI, Pb(I), and Cd(II) of various concentrations with naked and protected silver nanoparticles (Ag@citrate and Ag@MSA, respectively, where MSA is mercaptosuccinic acid).
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigations of the antibacterial properties of ciprofloxacin@SiO2
TL;DR: The antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin-encapsulated silica nanoshells synthesized from gold@silica core-shell nanoparticles has been investigated and fluorescence imaging studies carried out using fluorescein isothiocyanate@SiO2 showed that the nanOShells enter the bacterial cell.
