Non-enzymatic g-CN supported CuO derived-biochar based electrochemical sensors for trace level detection of malathion.

Malathion (MALA), a widely used insecticide, even at trace levels exhibits deleterious effects towards respiratory tracts, and nervous system, necessitating its detection. Herein, we have offered non-enzymatic trace level monitoring of MALA using g-CN supported CuO-derived biochar. The present B-CuO/g-CN based electrochemical sensor is synthesized using hydrothermal approach followed by calcination at high temperature.

Au nanoparticles decorated graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets as a sensitive and selective fluorescence probe for Fe and dichromate ions in aqueous medium.

Graphitic carbon nitride mutated with metal nanoparticles has captivated great interest as an effective fluorescent sensor for the detection of harmful ions present in water. In the present work, bulk-gCN was synthesized using melamine as precursor, and further Au-gCN nanocomposite were fabricated via in-situ direct reduction deposition method. The structural, morphological, compositional, stability and optical properties of bulk gCN and Au-gCN nanocomposite were examined using various scattering and spectroscopic techniques such as HRTEM, XPS, XRD and SEM.

Preserving plum perfection: Buckwheat starch edible coating with xanthan gum and lemongrass essential oil.

The research focused on the fabrication of composite coatings using buckwheat starch (BS) and xanthan gum (XG) with incorporation of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil (LEO) with varying concentration (0.75 %, 1.0 % and 1.

Cobalt-based co-ordination complex-derived nanostructure for efficient oxygen evolution reaction in acidic and alkaline medium.

Electrochemical water splitting is one of the most important method for energy conversion and storage. For this, the design and development of a low-cost robust electrocatalyst are highly desirable. In this study, Cobalt-based electrocatalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction was synthesized by thermal treatment of Cobalt-dehydroacetic acid (Co-DHA).

Highly Efficient Mesoporous Carbonaceous CeO Catalyst for Dephosphorylation.

Phosphorus is fast becoming a critical element, as the global supply and demand are reaching unsustainable levels. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and applicability of a novel biomass-derived mesoporous carbonaceous material decorated with CeO (CeO-S400) as an efficient catalyst for the dephosphorylation of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate disodium salt hexahydrate are reported. The presence and distribution of CeO are evidenced by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) (118.

Attitudes and empathy of youth towards physically disabled persons.

The present study aimed to investigate the attitude and empathy of youth towards physically disabled persons. This study followed a quantitative paradigm. The sample comprised of 100 participants (Male = 50; Female = 50) who were under the age range of 18-25 years.
