Antimony selenide substituted with Sb0.4Se0.6 and doped with zinc at three doping ratios (x=0, 0.01 and 0.03) was prepared via the solid state reaction method. The three prepared compositions were reacted thermally at 400 °C for 3 h. The structure of specimens was characterised via X-ray powder diffractometer to obtain the type of crystalline structure and lattice parameters of the prepared specimens, which showed a polycrystalline, orthorhombic structure. Optical characterisation was then achieved via UV-visible spectroscopy to exhibit the transmittance and reflectance spectra and estimate the band gap values of the prepared compositions. The samples showed high absorption spectra at low wavelengths (from 60% to 90%) and low reflectance values (from nearly zero to 17%). The band gap measurement showed an indirect transition, with values ranging from 1.2 eV to 1.23 eV. The electrical characteristics were represented by DC resistivity measurement at low temperature and AC conductivity measurement against frequency. The compositions showed a semiconducting behaviour in DC resistivity and compatible results in AC conductivity.

The purpose of this research is to prepare new vanillic acid derivatives with 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol heterocyclic ring and evaluate their antimicrobial activity in a preliminary assessment. A multistep synthesis was established for the preparation of new vanillic acid-triazole conjugates. The intermediate of 4-(4-amino-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-2-methoxyphenol (4) reacts with different heterocyclic aldehydes (thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde, and furfural ) in ethanol containing few drops of acetic acid yielded the corresponding 4-(4-(substituted amino)-5-mercapto-4H-1,2,4-1triazol-3-yl)-2-methoxy phenol derivatives (
Abstract This study investigated the treatment of textile wastewater contaminated with Acid Black 210 dye (AB210) using zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) through adsorption and photocatalytic techniques. ZnO NPs were synthesized using a green synthesis process involving eucalyptus leaves as reducing and capping agents. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, SEM, EDAX, XRD, BET, Zeta potential, and FTIR techniques. The BET analysis revealed a specific surface area and total pore volume of 26.318 m2/g. SEM images confirmed the crystalline and spherical nature of the particles, with a particle size of 73.4 nm. A photoreactor was designed to facilitate the photo-degradation process. The study investigated the inf
