Borocarbonitride-Based Emerging Materials for Supercapacitor Applications: Recent Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspectives.

Supercapacitors have emerged as a promising energy storage technology due to their high-power density, fast charging/discharging capabilities, and long cycle life. Moreover, innovative electrode materials are extensively explored to enhance the performance, mainly the energy density of supercapacitors. Among the two-dimensional (2D) supercapacitor electrodes, borocarbonitride (BCN) has sparked widespread curiosity owing to its exceptional tunable properties concerning the change in concentration of the constituent elements, along with an excellent alternative to graphene-based electrodes.

Biodegradation of naphthalene - Ecofriendly approach for soil pollution mitigation.

Naphthalene (NPT), a widely used household pest repellent and insecticide obtained from crude oil, serves as a toxic pollutant to non-target living matter. The stable and resistant nature of NPT makes it difficult to degrade through the physiochemical processes. The present study investigated the bacterial degradation of NPT isolated from crude oil-contaminated soil.

: Divergence Among Indian Strains and Genetic Characterization of a Strain Isolated from Cattle.

Unlabelled: primarily affects sheep, goats and is associated with brucellosis in humans, which is one of the world's most widespread neglected zoonotic disease. The current study attempted the determination of genetic diversity through comparative genome analysis of strains reported from India with other countries. The study also reports the isolation and identification of BMNDDB8664 from a cow with a history of abortion, whole-genome sequencing (WGS), determination of virulence factors, genotyping, and comparative genome analysis.

Electrocatalytic barium-oxide decorated MWCNT amperometric sensor for the quantification of anesthetic drug Procaine.

Procaine hydrochloride (P.HCl) is one of the earliest and most well-established local anesthetic drugs used in medicine. Though it is employed frequently for effective clinical nerve blocks during surgeries, its immoderate administration has often shown reports of systemic toxicity.
