Measurement of the fluorescence comportment of Bougainvillea xbuttiana flowers embedded in silica xerogels matrix prepared with two different water to tetraethyl-orthosilicate [Si(OC2H5)4] ratio molar of 11 and 5, without heat-treatment, we report the grade of biostability of compound. The structural comportment for the PSI and PSII present in Bougainvillea flower is similar to the structural comportment for these photosystems present in leaves when they are incorporated on inorganic matrix such as silica xerogels. The contribution of the natural pigment of this kind of flower such as betalains which consist of betaxanthins and betacyanins, determines their colors contributed in the range of wavelength from about 550 nm to 660 nm.

This work studied the thermostability and the biostability of chlorophyll species obtained from an extract of spinach leaves embedded in a silica xerogel matrix. The analysis was done by monitoring the photosystem II (PSII) using fluorescence spectroscopy. Samples were prepared using the sol gel method with a molar ratio of ethanol/H2O/TEOS of 4:11.6:1. Then, silica xerogel matrix was loaded with an extract of spinach leaves, obtained in dark conditions. The measurement of the fluorescence spectra was done at selected temperatures to the corresponding non-physiological regimen. Results indicate that the PSII band position remains unchanged when heat treatment temperature increases up 200°C. For temperatures above 100?C, the fluorescence intensity diminishes linearly when the temperature increases. The photosystem II embedded in silica xerogel matrix is decomposed at temperatures above 200°C.

We report the synthesis of undoped ZnO and Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) nanowires grown using a two-step process: (a) preparation of the seed layer, and (b) growth of the nanostructures. In the first step,? 10 mM solutions of zinc acetate dihydrate and 1-propanol were spin coated on polyethylene terephthalate? (PET) substrate at 2000 rpm by 30 s. Vertical nanowires were then grown by dipping the substrates in an equimolar solution of zinc nitrate hexahydrate and hexamethylenetetramine. As doping source, aluminum nitrate nonahydrate powders were added in the solution. In the solutions, Al doping concentrations were established as 0.5 At %, 1.0 At %, 2.0 At % and 3.0 At %, respectively. The hydrothermal process were carried out with a commercially microwave at 140 W power setting. The nanowires were characterized optically and morphologically. XRD patterns show the presence of ZnO, Zn(OH)2 and Zn6Al2O9. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the size of ZnO nanowires was 50 nm in diameter. The undoped ZnO and ZnO:Al nanowires bandgap energy was obtained from optical transmission spectra.
