AB  - Nanomaterials based on metal–doped fluorapatite (FAP) have attracted considerable interest as potential
next–generation antimicrobial agents. In this study, Cu2+–doped FAP nanocrystals have been successfully synthesized
by a neutralization method at room temperature. Their structural, optical, antimicrobial, and hemcompatible
properties have been investigated. XRD, FTIR, FESEM, and N2 adsorption–desorption studies indicate
the formation of single–phase FAP mesoporous nanopowders, composed of rod–like particles. TEM images
confirmed the formation of nanorodes with a length of 60 nm and a width of about 18 nm. Rietveld analysis
shows that the Cu2+ ions preferentially substitute Ca2 (6 h) sites in the hexagonal fluorapatite crystal structure.
Fluorescence spectroscopy accompanied by MCR–ALS method confirms substitution of Cu2+ ions in FAP crystal
lattice with extracting additional d–d band transition at green color from FAP broadband self–activated luminescence
in violet–blue color. Antimicrobial studies conducted on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and
Micrococcus lysodeikticus showed that FAP nanopowder with the highest Cu2+ content have strong bacteriostatic
action on Staphylococcus aureus bacterial strain in mediums containing nutrition matters. In addition, this sample
in comparison to pure FAP achieved a high percentage of relative reduction of bacterial population for all three
species, being >90% in most cases. Fungistatic action is noticed too, throwgh the slowing down mycelium
growth of fungus Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium roqueforti and reduction of sporulation of
Aspergillus niger species. Cu2+–doped FAP nanocrystals shows a synergistic antimicrobial effect with Cu2+ and F�����
ions. Concerning the potential biomedical applications, the hemolysis ratios of the Cu2+–doped FAP samples
were below 5%. The obtained results pointed out the possible use of the synthesized nanocrystals as broad–
spectrum antimicrobial agents for various biomedical and health care preparations.

AB  - Fe2TiO5 nanopartcles were synthesized by modified sol-gel method with aid ofFe(NO3)3 9H2O and Ti(OC3H7)4 as starting reagents, oxalic acid as chilate agent and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as surfactant. The aim of this study was to asses the photocatalytic degradaton of the antibiotic Oxytetracycline (OTC) using visible light irradiation. As prepared nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, BET, FESEM and UV-vis DRS. The optimal operating conditions of oxytetracycline photocatalytic degradation were achived by changing the pH of the solution and changing the concentration of photocatalyst.

AB  - Zinc oxide is a semiconductor material which still, after a century of scientific research, shows great potential in modern day utilisements such as heterogenous photocatalysis of organic pollutants and as a photoanode material for efficient water splitting and oxygen generation. In this work zinc oxide was synthesized by a glycine-nitrate combustion process, which is a cheap, simple and efficient method for synthesizing transition metal oxides. The obtained powder was calcined at 400 and 500 °C and samples were characterized in detail using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-trasform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Photoelectrocatalytic properties were investigated via electrochemical methods: linear voltammetry (LV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the obtained samples are nanocrystalline wurtzite zinc oxide with no impurities, with average particle diameters of 33 nm (annealed at 400 °C) and 48 nm (annealed at 500 °C). Both samples show significant amounts of various crystal deffects. The determined zinc oxide band gap was lower than the band gap of bulk zinc oxide. Photoelectrochemical measurements revealed that this material is photostable and reactive to light. Water oxidation is enhanced by exposing the light. Finally, photocatalytic properties were tested via determining kinetic parameters of organic pollutant decomposition. Both samples showed excellent photocatalytic activity by decomposing methylene blue and phenol.

AB  - One of the ways to get rid of toxic organic compounds that industries release into natural waters is photocatalysis of the decomposition of organic compounds on the surface of heterogenous photocatalysts such as zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a semiconductor that interacts with UV and near-UV visible light by generating electron-hole pairs which decompose organic molecules. Therefore it is useful to explore different ways of synthesizing zinc oxide and to test quality and quantity of organic decomposition photocatalysis so as to enable the commercial use of the material. Zinc oxide is also a respectable material for use as a photoelectrocatalyst in water oxidation, for example, which can be useful for generating oxygen while using natural sunlight - a clean and abundant energy source. In this project nanocrystalline zinc oxide was synthesized by glycin-nitrate combustion process and the powder was annealed on temperatures of 400 °C and 500 °C. Obtained particles where characterized in detail using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that obtained samples are nanocrystalline wurtzite zinc oxide, with particle diameters of 33 nm (annealed at 400 °C) ad 48 nm (annealed at 500 °C). Both samples show significant amount of various crystal defects. Zinc oxide band gap of the samples are determined to be lower than the band gap of the bulk zinc oxide. Photoelectrocatalytic properties were investigated via electrochemical methods: linear voltammetry (LV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that material is photostable and reactive to the light. Water oxidation is enhanced by exposing to sunlight. Finally, photocatalytic properties are tested with determining kinetic parameters of phenole and methyl blue decomposition. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are efficient photocatalysts, although sample annealed at 500 °C shows better properties than sample annealed at 400 °C.
