Silicon (Si), a beneficial element for plants, is known for its prophylactic effect under stress
conditions. Many studies have documented the role of biogenic silica (bulk-Si) in alleviating …

In the current scenario of global warming and climate change, plants face many biotic
stresses, which restrain growth, development and productivity. Nanotechnology is gaining …

Silicon (Si) is not considered as essential element for plant growth and development but it
provides benefits to the plants in several ways. Due to distinguishing physiological features …

Lead (Pb) accumulation, even in minute quantities, has adverse effects on the morphology,
physiology, and biochemistry of almost all plants, resulting in various abnormalities. Silicon …

This research investigates the fabrication of SnS-Si hybrids for photodetection and
photocatalysis using nanocolloids of tin sulfide (SnS), monocrystalline silicon (Si m) and …

Crystalline metallurgical silicon nanopowder was successfully produced from Tunisian silica
sand by magnesiothermic reduction. Silica sand was first transformed into silica powder via …

Silicon (Si) is considered as quasi-essential for plant growth and development, and
alleviates toxic effects caused by various environmental stresses in plants. Biogenic silica is …
