Resume With the age of fossil fuels moving towards its brink of exhaustion, the ever rising global energy demand will be turning towards renewable resources. For the successful development of solar energy production, discovery and utilization of semiconductor materials with advantageous chemical and physical properties is crucial. Photoelectrochemical water splitting devices have been envisioned as a significant part of sustainable energy sources since the process was demonstrated for the first time.

Binary metal oxides such as Ti. O2, Zn. O, and WO3 suffer from high bandgap that lowers their photoconversion ability. Hence, the scientific community is focusing on developing complex metal oxides, which might exhibit lower band gaps and desirable band alignment for the water splitting reaction. One of the very recently suggested candidates for this application is the class of copper vanadates. The seeded growth approach to produce complex metal oxide Sb Bi.

In the current work, we synthesise monodisperse copper nanoparticles of 6, 1. Vanadium acetylacetonate is used as a precursor for the second cation, which during the annealing process reacts with the nanoparticles to form copper vanadate. This approach has the advantage of growing the crystals at much lower temperatures 3. At such low temperatures the reaction becomes kinetically controlled, and allows one to overcome the thermodynamic limitations. Introduction. PL1 is an important language with two extremely high quality compliers created by IBM. Unfortunately it suffered tragic, undeserved destiny and is.

Thus, by varying the time of annealing, quenching the oxygen supply for the reaction and controlling the seed size, it is possible to selectively grow Cu. VO4, Cu. 2V2. O7 and Cu. V2. O8 phases. From literature, it is known that Cu. VO4 is a p type semiconductor. Cu. 2V2. O7 is a n type semiconductor. We have shown that, when exposed to the same annealing process, 6 nm Cu seeds form Cu. V2. O7 n type while, 4. Cu seeds form Cu. VO4 p type. We hypothesise that this result is due to the different reactivity of copper for different seed sizes and further research is underway to support this claim. This result illustrates the unique ability to target the final crystalline phase of materials with complex phase diagrams by fine tuning the seed size through colloidal synthesis, an approach not explored before.

Abstract The rampant multi drug resistance among human pathogenic microorganisms has necessitated a continuous search for new and potent antimicrobial substances, especially among plants. Also, the importance of herbal plants as sources of alternative medicine is documented worldwide. In this study, antimicrobial activities of extracts of seven edible mushrooms and two spices ginger and garlic against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans from Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki FETHA, Ebonyi State, Nigeria were investigated. Antimicrobial components from the mushrooms and spices were extracted with hot water and cold water, ethanol and diethyl ether the antimicrobial activities were examined by agar well diffusion method. Zones of inhibition were seen mostly in hot water extracts of five mushrooms Trichaptum sp, Flammulina sp, Boletus sp, Tricholoma sp, and Psalliota campestris on culture plates inoculated with S. P. aeruginosa, S. Pyogenes, E. coli and C. C within 2. 4hrs. The cold water extracts of the mushroom, P. P. aeruginosa. While for spices, the cold water extracts yielded the highest zones of inhibition of 2. The results obtained have shown clearly that the mushrooms Trichaptum sp, Tricholoma nudum, Psalliota campestris, Flammulina sp, Boletus sp, garlic Allium sativum and ginger Zingiber officianale extracts contain phytochemicals with some antimicrobial activities while Cortinarius sp showed no antimicrobial activity. The water extracts of the mushrooms and spices showed broad spectrum antimicrobial activity much more than ethanol and diethyl ether extracts. Generally, hot water extracts of the mushrooms were more potent as antimicrobial agent than either ethanol or cold water extract. It is hereby recommended that these bioactive compounds in mushrooms, ginger and garlic which show antimicrobial activities should be harnessed, patented and circulated as alternative antimicrobials to curb the increasing menace of antimicrobial resistance.
