Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Nanoparticle Superlattices: Novel Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Active Substrates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a cheap and rapid method for the fabrication of 3D nanoparticle superlattices (SLs) of Au@SGAN and Au@MSA (Nacetyl glutathione (SGAN) and mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) protected gold nanoparticles, respectively) in gram scale, at a liquid−liquid interfaces under flowing nitrogen gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct liquid phase in metal-cluster superlattice solids
Neelakandapillai Sandhyarani,Thalappil Pradeep,Jaydeb Chakrabarti,Mohammad Yousuf,H. K. Sahu +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, variable temperature x-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry experiments on the superlattice solids of alkanethiol protected silver nanoclusters show that the translational periodicity collapses around 398 K resulting in a liquid phase, which upon cooling, reverts into the parent crystalline phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic-Soluble Antimicrobial Silver Nanoparticle−Polymer Composites in Gram Scale by One-Pot Synthesis
A. Sreekumaran Nair,Nadappuram P. Binoy,Seeram Ramakrishna,T. R. R. Kurup,Lai Wah Chan,Cheong Hian Goh,Md. Rafiqul Islam,Thomas Utschig,Thalappil Pradeep +8 more
TL;DR: A one-pot synthesis of silver nanoparticle-polymer composites (Ag-PNCs) in water by a novel finding involving the polycondensation of methoxybenzyl chlorides directly on Ag nanoparticle surfaces at room temperature, leading to highly soluble antimicrobial nanocomposites.
Journal ArticleDOI
First Principles Studies of Two Luminescent Molecular Quantum Clusters of Silver, Ag7(H2MSA)7 and Ag8(H2MSA)8, Based on Experimental Fluorescence Spectra
Yan Sun,Krishnan Balasubramanian,Krishnan Balasubramanian,Krishnan Balasubramanian,T. Udaya Bhaskara Rao,Thalappil Pradeep +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a joint experimental and theoretical study of two luminescent molecular quantum clusters of silver, Ag7(H2MSA)7 and Ag8(H 2MSA), was performed in the framework of density functional theory (DFT-PBE).
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 7 - Capacitive Deionization (CDI): An Alternative Cost-Efficient Desalination Technique
TL;DR: Capacitive deionization (CDI) is an emerging and promising new technology for removal of ionic as well as polarizable species from water as discussed by the authors, which works on the principle of electroadsorption of ions at the surface of electrically charged electrodes, generally made of porous carbon materials.
