Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers examined biochar made from peanut shells as a soil enhancer to improve broad bean cultivation during drought, finding it increased soil water holding capacity by 66% and organic matter by 220%.
  • * The application of this biochar positively impacted plant growth, enhancing metrics such as stem height and pod weight, while also showing correlations between plant physiological responses and soil properties, suggesting its potential for sustainable agricultural practices.

Herein, we introduce an innovative nanohybrid material for advanced wastewater treatment, composed of -derived biochar and bismuth oxychloride (Biochar/BiOC), demonstrated in a solar photoreactor. This work focuses on the efficient degradation of linezolid (LIN), a persistent pharmaceutical pollutant, utilizing the unique (photo)catalytic capabilities of the nanohybrid. Compared with its individual components, the biochar/BiOC hybrid exhibits a remarkable degradation efficiency of 82.

For first time, new innovative ruthenium N3-Dye anchored with selenium (Se) and N3 dye anchored with sulphur atoms were synthesized in a good yield. Dyes are applied and evaluated in performance of dye sensitized solar cell. N3-Se dye showed superior photochemical& electrochemical behavior and high rate electron transfer across anode surface than N3-S dye.

Insulin-loaded nanofibers were prepared using chitosan as a natural polymer. The loaded insulin with polyethylene oxide was used for preparing monolayer batch S1. Nanofiber S1 was coated by seven layers of film on both sides to form batch S2 as a sandwich containing Layer A (CS, PEG and PEO) and Layer B (PEG and PEO) using electrospinning apparatus.

Herein, a novel composite of Corchorus olitorius-derived biochar and BiOCl was fabricated and utilized for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) in a solar photo-oxidation reactor. The morphology, chemical composition, and interaction between the composite components were studied using various analyses. The biochar showed a TC removal of 52.
