Enhanced structural optical morphological and photocatalytic properties of n-type ZnO with p-type NiO nanocomposites semiconductor via wet-chemical route Magesh Sujatha, G. Kavitha, K. Thanigai Arul, E. Manikandan Results in Chemistry, 2026 Semiconductor coupled dual transparent conducting metal oxides (TCMOs) like ZnO-NiO (n-type zinc oxide; p-type nickel oxide was successfully prepared by a wet chemical route followed by sintering at different temperatures of 400 °C, 500 °C, 600 °C and 700 °C, respectively. The structure and morphology of the samples were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) techniques. The synthesised compound, calcined at 600 °C, exhibited higher photocatalytic activity, resulting in the degradation of the rhodamine B dye. Thus, the prepared HTCMO ZnO-NiO nanocomposites have potential in the photocatalytic field.
Transparent PMMA–ZnO Nanocomposite Films: Antibacterial Performance, Optical Response, and Crystallinity M. Sujatha, K. Thanigai Arul, E. Manikandan International Journal of Advanced Science and Engineering, 2026 Wet-chemical process to prepare the ZnO nanoparticles, and this were then incorporated in different proportions of weight to a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix.Bulk ZnO particles were also embedded in PMMA for comparison.The structural and vibrational properties of the composites were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fingerprint Raman spectroscopy (RS), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM).ZnO's pure phase has been confirmed by XRD analysis.Compared to bulk ZnO and other composites, the crystallite size of ZnO nanoparticles and their nanocomposite films (0.1 wt%) dropped by 52% and 50%, respectively.The presence of ZnO nanoparticles was further verified by the technique of Raman spectroscopy.Higher magnifications with HRTEM images revealed uniform spherical nanoparticles, whereas lower magnifications revealed well-crystalline spherical and disc-like morphologies with sizes ranging from ~5 to 50 nm.Further, two pathogenic studies, specifically E. coli and S. aureus, at the ambient condition were used in the biological activity studies of antibacterial data.The well-diffusion method was adopted, and the inhibition zones of E. coli (12-15 mm) and S. aureus (9-12 mm) were observed for PMMA/ZnO nanocomposites (0.1-0.2 wt.%).The synthesized nanocomposite (NC) films exhibit great potential for use in sensors, solar cells, and the medical field.
Green Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Treating Coffee Cherry Pulping Wastewater: Environmental Implications Thamaraiselvi Chandran, Athira Sudarsanan Thulasi, Manikandan Elayaperumal, Fatimah S. Al‐Khattaf, Ashraf Atef Hatamleh, Kathikeyan Ravi, Soon Woong Chang, Balasubramani Ravindran Microscopy Research and Technique, 2025 The disposal of coffee cherry pulping wastewater (CPWW) poses severe environmental risks, including water body eutrophication, soil acidification, and toxicity to aquatic life due to its high organic load (COD: 29,450 mg/L; BOD5: 16,500 mg/L), acidic pH (4.8), and elevated solids (TDS: 3240 mg/L; TSS: 4540 mg/L). To address this, we synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles from Ricinus communis L. seed extract via a green method and evaluated their efficacy in CPWW treatment. Characterization by XRD, SEM, and FTIR confirmed the formation of the nanoparticles stabilized by phytochemicals, with functional groups such as hydroxyl (OH) and amine (NH) critical for pollutant binding. At an optimal dosage of 0.08 g/100 mL, the nanoparticles achieved 74% COD removal, 69% TDS reduction, and 92% decolorization, significantly mitigating the pollutant load of the effluent, thereby minimizing risks to aquatic ecosystems and soil health. Furthermore, FTIR analysis of the treated sludge revealed the potential functional groups facilitating pollutant removal. This study highlights the dual environmental benefit of green‐synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles: (1) a sustainable synthesis route avoiding toxic chemicals, and (2) high‐efficiency pollutant removal, offering a scalable solution for coffee‐processing industries to minimize their ecological footprint. By addressing the dual challenges of waste toxicity and treatment sustainability, this approach aligns with circular economy principles, promoting cleaner production in agro‐industrial sectors.
Multifaceted investigation of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized from Vernonia elaeagnifolia leaf extract: Characterization, antibacterial, antioxidant, cytotoxicity, and DNA binding activities Sathyapriya Chandramohan, Priya Ramalingam, Guguloth Sai Krishna, E. Manikandan, Rukkumani Rajagopalan Inorganic Chemistry Communications, 2025 In this study, Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) were synthesized for the first time using an aqueous extract of Vernonia elaeagnifolia through a green, sustainable, and cost-effective method. The synthesized ZnO NPs were characterized using various spectroscopic techniques. Ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy revealed an absorption peak at 362 nm, confirming the presence of ZnO NPs. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis, with a polydispersity index (PDI) value of 0.127, indicated a highly uniform size distribution. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy exhibited IR bands at 923.96 cm −1 and 426.53 cm −1 , corresponding to Zn–O vibrations. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis determined the crystalline size of the ZnO NPs to be 45 nm. Raman spectroscopy shows a peak at 558 cm −1 , signifying Zn–O bond stretching. SEM results revealed the spherical shape of the ZnO NPs. The antioxidant potential of ZnO NPs was evaluated using DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) scavenging assays, and the IC 50 values were found to be 256.1 μg/mL and 283.1 μg/mL, respectively. In antibacterial studies, ZnO NPs exhibited the highest inhibition zones of 16 mm against Staphylococcus aureus and 20 mm against Escherichia coli . Cytotoxicity analysis using the MTT 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay on Hep3B cells revealed an IC 50 of 80 μg/mL, indicating potent anticancer activity. Furthermore, DNA-binding studies of ZnO NPs with calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) suggested interactions through electrostatic forces or hydrogen bonding, as confirmed by UV–Vis, FTIR, Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, and spectrofluorimetric analysis. Overall, this study highlights the successful green synthesis of ZnO NPs from Vernonia elaeagnifolia and their promising antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxic, and DNA-binding properties, indicating their potential for pharmacological and therapeutic applications.
Luminescent Pyrene-Derivatives for Hg2+ and Explosive Detection Muthaiah Shellaiah, Kien-Wen Sun, K. Anandan, Arumugam Murugan, Vijayaraj Venkatachalam, Mayank Bhushan, Mani Sivakumar, E. Manikandan, Kumaravel Kaliaperumal, Wen-Tai Li Chemosensors, 2025 Mercury and explosives are well-known hazards that affect the environment and threaten society. Mercury generally exists as inorganic mercuric (Hg2+) salts, and its detection via fluorometric response is highly notable. Likewise, mainstream explosives contains a nitro (−NO2) moiety as a functional unit, and numerous reports have quantified them using fluorescence quenching. Among the available literature, there are still noticeable concerns about the environmental and biological applicability of luminescent pyrene derivaives-tunedfluorometric detection of Hg2+ and explosives. In the presence of Hg2+ ions, pyrene derivatives tend to form excimers, which can be tuned to the chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF), photo-induced electron transfer (PET), or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), etc., to exhibit “Turn-On” or “Turn-Off” fluorescence responses. On the other hand, π-π stacking of emissive pyrene-derivatives may lead to J- or H-type aggregation via self-excimers (Py-Py*), which has been found to be quenched/enhanced by explosive hazards. In fact, −NO2-containing explosives interact with pyrene derivatives, leading to exceptional fluorescence quenching or enhancement. This review details the use of pyrene derivatives toward the sensing of Hg2+ and explosives with demonstrated applications. Further, the design requirements, sensory mechanisms, advantages, limitations, and the future scope of using the reported pyrene derivatives in Hg2+ and explosives sensing are discussed.
Effect of La3+ Ions on Structural Morphological and Optical Properties of Spinel CoFe2O4 Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic and Antimicrobial Applications C. Muthukumar, N. Vijayakumar, A. Thirugnanasundar, K. Yogalakshmi, A. Dinesh, E. Manikandan, A. Muthukrishnaraj, R. Suriyaprakash, Sampath Elumalai, Manikandan Ayyar, M. Santhamoorthy Semiconductors, 2025 Abstract Spinel CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and Lanthanum (La) doped CoFe2O4 NPs was achieved through simple sol–gel method and analyzed their structural, morphological, and optical properties by various characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), thermo gravimetric (TGA) and photoluminescence (PL) studies. XRD spectra confirmed the spinel structure with crystalline nature of products. The average crystallite size (nm) of the samples were calculated by Sherrer formula and found 19.6 nm for CoFe2O4 and 16.1 nm for La doped CoFe2O4 respectively. FT-IR spectra showed stretching band for pure CoFe2O4 at 543 cm–1 and 485 cm–1, whereas, for La-CoFe2O4 at 547 cm–1 and 411 cm–1 corresponding to the Fe-O and Co-O bond, respectively. The bandgap value was calculated using UV-DRS and obtained 1.45 and 1.64 eV for pure CoFe2O4 and La-CoFe2O4 NPs, respectively. PL spectra of pure CoFe2O4 and La doped CoFe2O4 NPs are excited at 465 and 467 nm, respectively, which are related to electron and hole recombination in the valence and conduction bands. TGA characterization revealed 0.5% weight loss for the pure CoFe2O4 NPs, whereas 0.4% weight loss for La-CoFe2O4 NPs, which confirms that the samples are thermal stability. FE-SEM characterization exhibited well-defined spherical shaped grains with minimal agglomeration. In photocatalytic dye degradation (PCD) applications, pure CoFe2O4 exhibited 86%, whereas, La doped CoFe2O4 exhibited 96% efficiency of degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye within 240 minutes. La doped CoFe2O4 exhibit higher antimicrobial activity against Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans than pure CoFe2O4.
Luminescent probes/conjugates derived from quantum dots, nanoparticles, and nanoclusters for cyanide (CN−) detection Muthaiah Shellaiah, E Manikandan, Kien Wen Sun, Vijayaraj Venkatachalam Nano Express, 2024 Advancing the development of the luminescent nanoprobes and conjugates toward the toxic analyte quantification plays a crucial role in environmental remedy. Cyanide ions (CN−) play vital role in many industries, such as electroplating, mining, textiles, metallurgy, etc. The highly toxic CN− may be discharged into the environment. The presence of CN− in aquatic environment at micromolar level could lead to fatal issue in humans and living beings, which requires scrutiny to maintain the ecosystem. Thus, diverse probes, such as organic fluorophores, noble metal nanoparticles/clusters (NPs/NCs), carbon/graphene quantum dots (CQDs/GQDs), cadmium telluride/selenide quantum dots (CdTe QDs/CdSe QDs), cadmium/zinc/silver sulfide quantum dots (CdS QDs/ZnS QDs/ Ag2S QDs), etc, were proposed toward the quantification of CN− ions with real-time applications. Among them, the luminescent probes/conjugates derived from QDs, NPs, and NCs are unique and display astonishing selectivity and sensitivity to CN−. The observed luminescent responses can be attributed to agglomeration, inner filter effect (IFE), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), chemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (CRET), etc Till now there is no review article reporting the applications of the luminescent probes/conjugates derived from QDs, NPs, and NCs for CN− quantification. In this review, the employment of these probes/conjugates for detecting CN− is illustrated with detailed underlying mechanisms and real-time applications. Furthermore, the design requirements, advantages, limitations, and directions of the luminescent probes/conjugates are delivered for future studies.
Fabrication of high performance based deep-blue OLED with benzodioxin-6-amine-styryl-triphenylamine and carbazole hosts as electroluminescent materials E. Dhineshkumar, N. Arumugam, E. Manikandan, M. Maaza, Abhishek Mandal Scientific Reports, 2024 The present study reports synthesis of phenathroimidazole derivatives structures following donor–acceptor relation for high performance deep-blue light emitting diodes. Herein, methyl substituted benzodioxin-6-amine phenanthroimidazoles Cz-SBDPI and TPA-SBDPI derivatives that provide the blue light were designed and synthesized. These Cz-SBDPI and TPA-SBDPI show higher glass transition (Tg) temperatures of 199 and 194 °C and demonstrate enhanced thermal properties. Apart from enhanced thermal stability these compounds also exhibit superior photophysical, electrochemical and electroluminescent properties. The non-doped carbazole based device display improved electroluminescent performances than those of TPA-based devices. The strong orbital-coupling due to decreased energy barrier between Cz-SBDPI transitions result in deep blue emission with CIE—0.15, 0.06. For non-doped Cz-SBDPI device; high L (brightness):12,984 cd/m2; ηc (current efficiency): 5.9 cd/A; ηp (power efficiency): 5.7 lm/W and ηex (external quantum efficiency): 6.2% was observed. The results show that the D–A emitters can serve as simple but also as an effective approach to devise cheap electroluminescent materials that has high efficiency and can serve as OLED devices.
