To confirm phytosynthesis, the dark brown colloidal solution was analyzed using ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy (Perkin-Elmer Ltd) between 200 and 800 nm.39 (link) After confirmation of phytosynthesis, the solution of PF@AgNPs was centrifuged for 20 min at 15,000 × g. The supernatant was removed and the pellet was redispersed in distilled water and centrifuged again for 20 min at 15,000 × g. This procedure was repeated for three times.40 (link) Finally, the pellet was collected and dried into a fine powder that was used for further analysis. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of PF@AgNPs was carried out at 4000–500 cm−1 using KBr pellets (Perkin-Elmer Ltd).41 (link) The x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of PF@AgNPs was recorded in the 2θ range of 10° to 90° using Bruker D8 Advance powder XRD (Bruker AXS GmbH, Karlsruhe, Germany).42 (link) Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetric analysis (DTA) were performed using a TGA-1 analyzer (Mettler Toledo, Switzerland).43 (link) The shapes and sizes of PF@AgNPs and the selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern of PF@AgNPs were determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).44 (link) The polydispersity index (PI) and zeta potential values were recorded using dynamic light scattering (DLS; Brookhaven Instruments).45 (link)

The uptake of 4-CB-2′,5′-HQ and 4-CB-2′,5′-BQ in PAMAM dendrimers was quantified using UV-Vis spectroscopy (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA). The stock solutions of 4-CB-2′,5′-HQ and BQ dissolved in DMSO were prepared. PAMAM dendrimers dissolved in water were acidified to pH 6 in order to decrease the nucleophilicity of the surface amines. Stock solutions of 4-CB-2′,5′-HQ and BQ were added to the acidified dendrimers to the final concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 250 μg•mL−1. The final solutions contained 50 μL of the stock solutions, and 450 μL of the acidified PAMAM dendrimers. The solutions were then transferred to the micro-cuvette and the UV absorbances were measured over a range of 200 to 400 nm.

Total chlorophyll content in plants was determined by the protocol given by Arnon (1949) (link). Defense parameters of plants including proline, lipid peroxidation (LPX), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ascorbic acid, and total phenolics were measured following the protocols of Bates et al. (1973) (link); Heath and Packer (1968) , Sergiev et al. (1997) ; Mitusi and Ohata (1961) (link), and Mallick and Singh (1980) , respectively, with some modifications. Antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, GoPX, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) were measured following the protocols of Beauchamp and Fridovich (1971) (link); Aebi (1974) , Hemeda and Klein (1990) (link) and Lavania et al. (2006) (link), respectively. All analyses were carried out on UV-vis spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer, MA, United States), keeping length of light path 1 cm.

Silver nanoparticles (20 nm) were obtained as a powder from Zhengzhou Dongyao Nano Materials Company. Their size, shape, size, distribution, and aggregation were all examined using ultraviolet–visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy (PerkinElmer, Norwalk, CT, USA), scanning electron microscopy (JSM-7610F-Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope-JEOL-Japan), and the Nicolet 6700 Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) Spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madison, WI, USA). Moreover, the existence and purity of the AgNPs were confirmed by compositional analysis of the elements using energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).

To further investigate the properties of TiO2-RGO, it was characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy (PerkinElmer, Boston, MA, USA) and Raman (Renishaw, London, UK). The TiO2-RGO solution and GO solution were fully stirred for 2 h with ultrasound and tested on a UV-vis spectrophotometer with a wavelength range of 200–800 nm. The TiO2-RGO solution was vacuumized in order to prepare the Raman test sample; after filtration two times, the sample was dried in air and a small portion of the filter paper was cut out for Raman testing, with a frequency range of 50–2500 cm−1.

CCNF-DA was prepared following the previous study with minor modification [20 (link)]. In brief, EDC·HCl (1 equivalent) was directly added to the CCNF hydrogel, followed by addition of NHS (1 equivalent) and DA·HCl (2 equivalent) with stirring at 4 °C. The molar ratio of EDC·HCl, NHS, and DA·HCl was based on the carboxyl group molar content of CCNF. The mixture was stirred for 24 h and dialyzed with DW at pH 4–5 at room temperature. The suspension was stored in argon purged vials until further use. The catechol content of the CCNF-DA was quantified using a colorimetric assay developed by Arnow [21 ]. The CCNF-DA was added with 100 μL of DW, 300 μL of 0.5 M HCl, 300 μL of nitrite molybdate reagent (1.45 M sodium nitrite and 0.41 M sodium molybdate), and 300 μL of 1 M NaOH. The absorbance was measured at 500 nm using UV–Vis spectroscopy (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA) and the concentration of catechol was determined by Arnow’s standard curve of l-DOPA. To cast films, the CCNF-DA was poured into plastic petri dishes covered with adhesive Teflon tape and dried in an oven at 40 °C–50 °C for at least one day. The films were stored in a vacuum package prior to use.

The structure and phase purity of the synthesized materials were characterized using a Bruker D2 Phaser X-ray diffractometer with a 1.54184 Å copper tube. Using the DIFRACC.EVA V4.3.1.2 software, a semi-quantitative analysis of the diffraction pattern was performed to identify secondary phases. The morphological analysis of the sample was performed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. A field emission electron microscope MIRA 3, TESCAN equipped with a Bruker X-Flash 6–30 detector with a resolution of 123 eV in Mn K α was used. The diffuse reflectance spectrum was measured by UV-Vis spectroscopy (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) with λ 200–1000 nm with an integrating sphere. These spectra were transformed by a Kubelka–Munk model in order to estimate the band gap value.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
