All venoms exhibited strong procoagulant properties. In concentration-response tests, the clotting potency of the neonate venoms fell within the range of their parents' maximum clotting velocities and areas under the curve.

Herein, highly efficient mesoporous-NiFe2O4@g-C3N4 heterojunctions were developed by embedding p-type NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) within n-type porous ultrathin g-C3N4 (p-uCN) nanosheets. The optimized NiFe2O4@g-C3N4, loaded with 20wt% magnetic counterparts, exhibits exceptional photocatalytic methylene blue degradation, achieving the highest performance in both photocatalytic and photo-Fenton processes with rate constants of 0.
