Au@Tio2 Nanocomposites For The Catalytic Degradation Of Methyl Orange And Methylene Blue: An Electron Relay Effect, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, J. Lee, M. H. Cho
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Au@TiO2 nanocomposites were used for the catalytic degradation of methyl orange and methylene blue by NaBH4. A detail pathway for step by step reduction, oxidation and complete mineralization of intermediates into the respective end-products was established by UV-vis spectroscopy, chemical oxygen demand, ion chromatography and cyclic voltammetry (CV). CV studies confirmed that the dyes were reduced and oxidized to the end-products by NaBH4 in the presence of Au@TiO2 nanocomposites and O2•, •OH and HO2• radicals generated in-situ. Results suggest that Au@TiO2 nanocomposites not only assist in the decolorization of dyes, but also promote their complete mineralization into harmless end-products.

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Highly visible light active 1% and 3% Ag@ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized via a gel combustion route using citric acid as a fuel. The formation of the nanocomposites with enhanced properties was confirmed using a range of characterization techniques, photocatalysis and photoelectrochemical studies. Compared to the pristine ZnO nanoparticles, the Ag@ZnO nanocomposites exhibited enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methylene blue and photoelectrochemical response. A mechanism was proposed to account for the photocatalytic activities of the Ag@ZnO nanocomposite that showed the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag is an effective way of enhancing the visible light photocatalytic activities.

Ptsa Doped Conducting Graphene/Polyaniline Nanocomposite Fibers: Thermoelectric Behavior And Electrode Analysis, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, M. O. Ansari, S. A. Ansari, M. I. Amal, J Lee, M. H. Cho
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Highly conducting graphene/polyaniline (GN@Pani) nanocomposite was prepared by the in-situ oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of GN and the surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The micellar structure of CTAB assisted both, the formation of GN@Pani tubules and the dispersion of GN. Sheet-like GN was distributed uniformly in the Pani matrix, leading to high electrical conductivity because of the π-π interactions between Pani and GN. Studies of the thermoelectrical behavior using isothermal and cyclic aging techniques showed that GN@Pani possessed a high combination of electrical conductivity and thermal stability, even beyond 150°C. GN@Pani was used as cathode active material in …

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
This paper reports the defect-induced band gap narrowing of pure SnO2 nanostructures (p-SnO2) using an electrochemically active biofilm (EAB). The proposed approach is biogenic, simple and green. Systematic characterization of the modified SnO2 nanostructures (m-SnO2) revealed EAB-mediated defects in pure SnO2 nanostructures (p-SnO2). m-SnO2 nanostructures in visible light showed the enhanced photocatalytic degradation of p-nitrophenol and methylene blue compared to p-SnO2 nanostructures. Photoelectrochemical studies, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and linear scan voltammetry, also revealed a significant increase in the visible light response of m-SnO2 compared to p-SnO2 nanostructures. The enhanced activities of m-SnO2 in visible light was attributed to …

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Highly conducting nanocomposite film of polyaniline (Pani) with graphene (GN) was prepared by incorporating GN nanoplatelets in Pani matrix, followed by sulfonating it with fuming sulfuric acid. Sheet-like GN nanoplatelets were distributed uniformly in a Pani matrix, leading to high electrical conductivity due to π-π interaction between sulfonated Pani (s-Pani) and GN. Studies of the thermoelectrical behavior and ammonia-sensing behavior on GN@s-Pani showed high DC electrical conductivity retention under ageing conditions as well as excellent reproducible sensing response towards ammonia vapor in contrast to acid-protonated Pani.

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Visible light-active TiO2 (m-TiO2) nanoparticles were obtained by an electron beam treatment of commercial TiO2 (p-TiO2) nanoparticles. The m-TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited a distinct red-shift in the UV-visible absorption spectrum and a much narrower band gap (2.85 eV) due to defects as confirmed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL), X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear scan voltammetry (LSV). The XPS revealed changes in the surface states, composition, Ti4+ to Ti3+ ratio, and oxygen deficiencies in the m-TiO2. The valence band XPS, DRS and PL results were …

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
The synthesis of (+)AuNPs procedure using a stainless-steel mesh was optimized. The optimal synthetic parameters were found to be one piece of stainless-steel mesh (22.5 cm2 in surface area) in 100 mL of a 1 mM precursor, precursor solution pH 4, and reaction temperature of 30°C. Under the optimal conditions, the as-synthesized (+)AuNPs were highly positively charged (+24.2 mV). Therefore, the as-synthesized (+)AuNPs act as a peroxidase mimic and provide a simple, fast, highly sensitive and selective colorimetric method for H2O2 detection with a detection limit of 0.06 mM in the linear range from 0.06 mM to 4.29 mM.

Oxygen Vacancy Induced Band Gap Narrowing Of Zno Nanostructure By Electrochemically Active Biofilm, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, A. A. Ansari, S. Kalathil, A. Nisar, J. Lee, M. H. Cho
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Band gap narrowing is important and advantageous for potential visible light photocatalytic applications involving metal oxide nanostructures. This paper reports simple biogenic approach for the promotion of oxygen vacancies in pure zinc oxide (p-ZnO) nanostructures using an electrochemically active biofilm (EAB), which is different from traditional techniques for narrowing the band gap of nanomaterials. The novel protocol improved the visible photocatalytic activity of modified ZnO (m-ZnO) nanostructures through the promotion of oxygen vacancies, which resulted in band gap narrowing of the ZnO nanostructure (Eg = 3.05 eV) without dopants. X-ray diffraction, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic …

Novel Ag@Tio2 Nanocomposite Synthesized By Electrochemically Active Biofilm For Nonenzymatic Hydrogen Peroxide Sensor, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, S. A. Ansari, J. Lee, M. H. Cho
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
A novel nonenzymatic sensor for H2O2 was developed based on an Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite synthesized using a simple and cost effective approach with an electrochemically active biofilm. The optical, structural, morphological and electrochemical properties of the as-prepared Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite were examined by UV-vis spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite was fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) and their electrochemical performance was analyzed by CV, differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The Ag@TiO2 nanocomposite modified GCE (Ag@TiO2/GCE) displayed excellent performance towards H2O2 sensing at −0.73 V in the linear response range from 0.83 …

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
This study examined the effect of positively charged gold nanoparticles ((+)AuNPs) on the enhancement of methylene blue (MB) degradation in microbial fuel cell (MFC) cathode. The maximum electricity production of 36.56 mW/m2 and complete MB degradation were achieved simultaneously. The MFC performance and MB degradation are strictly dependent on cathodic conditions, such as N2 bubbling, air bubbling and addition of H2O2. MB was reduced rapidly under anaerobic condition, whereas complete oxidative mineralization of MB occurred in the presence of dissolved oxygen (DO) or H2O2. (+)AuNPs enhanced the electricity generation in the MFCs involving MB degradation owing to its electron relay …

Production Of Bioelectricity, Bio-Hydrogen, High Value Chemicals And 3 Bioinspired Nanomaterials By Electrochemically Active Biofilms, S. Kalathil, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, M. H. Cho, J. Lee
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Microorganisms naturally form biofilms on solid surfaces for their mutual benefits including protection from environmental stresses caused by contaminants, nutritional depletion or imbalances. The biofilms are normally dangerous to human health due to their inherited robustness. On the other hand, a recent study suggested that electrochemically active biofilms (EABs) generated by electrically active microorganisms have properties that can be used to catalyze or control the electrochemical reactions in a range of fields, such as bioenergy production, bioremediation, chemical/biological synthesis, bio-corrosion mitigation and biosensor development. EABs have attracted considerable attraction in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), such as microbial fuel cells and microbial …

Enhanced Optical, Visible Light Catalytic And Electrochemical Properties Of Au@Tio2 Nanocomposites, Mohammad Mansoob Khan Dr, Sajid A. Ansari
Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
Au@TiO2 nanocomposites and pure TiO2 were successfully used to know the effect of Au on TiO2 and their comparative optical, visible light catalytic andelectrochemical activities were investigated. Optical parameters such as band gap energy (Eg = 2.4 eV), absorption coefficient (a), refractive index (n) and dielectric constants (s) have been determined using different methods. Visible light (590 nm) catalytic activity of Au@TiO2 nanocomposites was performed for reducing methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. CV, EIS and DPV studies demonstrate that Au@TiO2 nanocomposites exhibit redox behavior, charged its surface by accumulating electrons, store and release the electrons.

Dr. Mohammad Mansoob Khan
A novel, rapid, one-pot, and facile approach was developed to synthesize positively charged gold nanoparticles [(+) AuNPs] by employing an aqueous solution of HAuCl4·3H2O as a precursor at 30 °C and a stainless-steel mesh as a reducing agent. The penetration of Cl− ions into the stainless-steel surface results in corrosion on the stainless-steel surface and excretion of electrons which are used for reduction of Au3+ → Au0. As a result, (+) AuNPs 5-20 nm in size, mostly monodispersed, were synthesized within 3 h. The as-synthesized AuNPs were charaterized by UV-vis, DLS, XRD, TEM, HR-TEM, EDX and SAED. The utilization of …
