Development of a ZnOS+C Composite as a Potential Adsorbent for the Effective Removal of Fast Green Dye from Real Wastewater.

Wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly important due to the potential shortage of pure drinking water in many parts of the world. Adsorption offers a potential technique for the uptake of contaminants and wastewater purification. In the last two decades, several efforts have been made to remove fast green (FG) dye from wastewater via different adsorbent materials.

Visible-light driven noble metal (Au, Ag) permeated multicomponent CuZnSnS nanocrystals: A potential low-cost photocatalyst for textile effluents and heavy metal removal.

An exemplary vision to understand the fundamental role of metal-doped multi-components system such as Au/Ag doped CZTS (CuZnSnS) nanocrystals encourages the non-vacuum approach for the best performing photocatalyst. Hydrophilic nanoparticles (Au/Ag and CZTS) are allowed to amalgamate under NTP atmosphere, eradicating the prerequisite for high-end equipment. The potential of Au and Ag-doped CZTS nanoparticles was speculated using various optical and structural characterizations.

Epidermal Inspired Flexible Sensor with Buckypaper/PDMS Interfaces for Multimodal and Human Motion Monitoring Applications.

The advancements in the areas of wearable devices and flexible electronic skin have led to the synthesis of scalable, ultrasensitive sensors to detect and differentiate multimodal stimuli and dynamic human movements. Herein, we reveal a novel architecture of an epidermal sensor fabricated by sandwiching the buckypaper between the layers of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). This mechanically robust sensor can be conformally adhered on skin and has the perception capability to detect real-time transient human motions and the multimodal mechanical stimuli of stretching, bending, tapping, and twisting.
