Article Synopsis
  • Nitroaromatic compounds are toxic pollutants released by industries into water, posing risks to ecosystems and human health.
  • Pd-doped ZnO nanoparticles were explored as an effective way to degrade these compounds due to their enhanced photocatalytic performance and stability.
  • The study found that these nanoparticles achieved significant nitrobenzene removal under visible light, with a notable increase in photocatalytic efficiency and the ability to be reused multiple times.

Article Synopsis
  • Palladium-doped copper oxide (Pd-CuO) nanoparticles were synthesized using Tulsi phytoextract for gas-sensing applications, proving to be a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method.
  • The structural and compositional analysis confirmed the successful doping of Pd, revealing nanoflake-shaped Pd-CuO, which showed enhanced sensitivity to NO gas compared to pure CuO.
  • The sensor demonstrated excellent selectivity and stability, with rapid response and recovery times, making it suitable for real-time gas detection, particularly under humid conditions.
