Remarkable Enhancement of TiO-N Activity under Visible Light Exposure by Codoping with Cu from Electroplating Wastewater for Degradation of Amoxicillin Residual in Water Media.

The development of photocatalysts with wastewater management has drawn the attention of many scientists. This research investigates the enhancement activity of TiO photocatalyst codoped with N and Cu from urea and electroplating wastewater respectively as sources, for photodegradation of amoxicillin (AMX) residual in water media. The synthesis of codoped TiO photocatalyst has been done through sol-gel process to determine the optimal concentration for each single dopant of Cu and N based on the highest band gap energy ( ) narrowing and their performance in photodegradation of AMX.

Enhancing tribological performance of electric vehicle lubricants: Nanoparticle-enriched palm oil biolubricants for wear resistance.

The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) calls for sustainable advancements in automotive lubricants, as traditional fossil-fuel-based products pose environmental challenges. Palm oil-based biolubricants enriched with nanoparticles present a promising eco-friendly alternative that meets the thermal and tribological demands of EVs. This paper aims to analyze the development of nanoparticle-enriched palm oil-based biolubricants, aimed at improving the sustainability and performance of electric vehicle (EV) lubrication systems.
