To address the escalating demand for electrical energy, developing high-performance electrochemical energy storage materials is crucial. Metal oxides represent promising materials for high-energy-density supercapacitors. Among these materials, transition metal-based tungstates exhibit significantly enhanced electrical conductivity compared to pure oxides.

A comparative approach is employed for the novel synthesis of a magnetically recoverable ternary nanocomposite consisting of g-CN-supported FeO decorated with coinage metals (Au, Ag, and Cu). This synthesis is achieved through a straightforward and convenient one-step grinding protocol. In situ, the nanoparticles were grown on the g-CN-assist FeO matrix (GCFM), and the agglomeration of these nanoparticles on the matrix creates a pathway for the formation of the nanocomposite (NC).

An innovative means of synthesizing mechanically recoverable ternary nanocomposite (NC) comprising FeO supported on husk (OSH) and ornamented with 3d tetra-metals (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu) is proposed using a manual grinding method. This NC was prepared a one-step manual method. The added advantage of this method is the non-usage of solvents during the synthesis of the NC.

Article Synopsis
  • Electronic waste, particularly waste dry-cell batteries, poses a significant environmental threat, but innovative approaches are being explored to convert this waste into valuable products like photoluminescent carbon dots (CDs) using a one-step hydrothermal treatment.
  • The synthesized CDs exhibit strong photoluminescent properties, a quantum yield of around 13%, and are effective in detecting harmful contaminants like chromium and cobalt ions at low detection limits of approximately 0.11 µM and 0.10 µM, respectively.
  • This research highlights the use of recycled materials for environmental applications, demonstrating that these CDs can degrade pollutants like Bromothymol Blue dye with an efficiency of 84% under sunlight, offering a promising solution for pollution

Presently, quite a lot of research that are being carried out to find a potential cure for cancer and many had made to clinical trial stage as well. In the present study, we focus on use of a novel graphene oxide functionalized chitosan nanoparticle targeting Saos-2 and MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. The graphene oxide chitosan nanoparticles were loaded with siRNA, studied for in vitro release with varying concentration & pH, and fitted to peppas model.

The detection of water soluble vitamins using electrochemical method is widely established in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories, and especially the recent advances in hybrid heterostrucure nanomaterials has devoted to enhance the significant analytical parameters like sensitivity, selectivity and fast response time. Herein, we report the synthesis of a hybrid heterostructure comprising SnO nanoparticles supported mesoporous TiO, and the obtained nanocomposite were fabricated over glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for the electrochemical oxidation of vitamin B in pharmaceutical tablets. The designed SnO-TiO/GC modified electrode exhibits well-defined oxidation peak with lowering over-potential and larger signal response compared to the pristine counterparts, and it is mainly due to the formation of abundant active surface layer offered by SnO cocatalyst, and thus significantly enhances the electrochemical surface area.
