An ionic liquid route to prepare copper sulphide nanocrystals aiming at photoca...
Estrada, Ana C.; Silva, Fabio M.; Soares, Sofia F.; Coutinho, Joao A. P.; Trindade, TitoCopper sulphide crystallizes in a variety of phases that exhibit distinct optical properties including different optical band gaps in the visible region. The crystalline phases are associated with unique properties shown by semiconductor nanocrystals that could be exploited to produce new photocatalysts with tuned optical behavior. This research reports on the use of ionic liquids as a reaction medium to produc...
Cationic release behaviour of antimicrobial cellulose/silver nanocomposites
Silva, Fabio M.; Pinto, Ricardo J. B.; Daniel-da-Silva, Ana L.; Trindade, TitoSilver nanoparticles (NPs) have received great attention, mainly due to their application as antimicrobial agents in diverse products, including textile- and paper-based materials. In this context, straightforward methodologies to monitor their cationic silver release capacity in diverse environments are required due to the rise of manufactured products containing silver NPs. Here, we describe the application o...
