The CT-capped gold nanoparticles (CTAuNPs) were prepared from CT, chloroauric acid, and NaBH₄. The CTAuNPs were characterized using ultraviolet–visible, high-resolution TEM, DLS, and Fourier transform IR techniques. The cytotoxicity and apoptosis-inducing ability of both nanoparticles were determined in HepG2 cells. The results demonstrate that CTNs exhibit antiproliferative activity in the cancerous HepG2 cells. Moreover, molecular docking and molecular dynamics studies were conducted to explore the therapeutic potential of CT against human EGFR suppressor protein to gain more insights into the binding mode of the CT, which may show a significant role in anticancer therapy.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:56:50 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45239 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and transmission electron microscopy techniques.

In this work, we proposed a hybrid approach including a plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) and ion exchange strategy to in situ synthesize TiO₂ nanosheets on a flexible Ti mesh substrate, in which the layered Na₂Ti₂O₅ nanosheets were fabricated as a template. The TiO₂ nanosheets are crystalline anatase phase and exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity and stability in removing phenol. With the modification of the Pt cocatalyst, the phenol degradation performance has been significantly enhanced. More importantly, the in situ grown TiO₂ nanosheets on the flexible Ti mesh provide strong substrate adhesion that enables superior photocatalytic stability for cyclic degradation of phenol. It can be expected that the synthetic strategy proposed in this work can pave a solid way toward the in situ growth of various TiO₂-based composite nanophotocatalysts with sufficient active sites and excellent photocatalytic properties, and thus, it will open up more opportunities for environment processing and energy conversion.]]> Tue 14 Mar 2023 16:26:44 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47208 Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:45:48 AEDT ]]>
