Chlorophenols are one of the major organic pollutants responsible for the contamination of water bodies. This study explores the application of Ni-Zn/CeO nanocomposites, synthesized via the aqueous co-precipitation method, as effective adsorbents for the 4-chlorophenol removal from aqueous solutions. The nanocomposites' chemical and structural characteristics were assessed using different physical characterization methods, viz.

In this study, we explored the effectiveness of Ag-Cu-CeO nanocomposites as adsorbents to remove Congo Red dye from water. Three compositions of Ag-Cu-CeO nanocomposites (10:20:70, 15:15:70, and 20:10:70) have been synthesized by the aqueous coprecipitation method.

The search question was: which root canal filling materials used in pulpectomy for primary teeth give better clinical and radiographic success rates than ZOE?
Methods: A systematic search was conducted using five databases, namely Cochrane central register of controlled trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE via PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and EBSCOhost using a selection of "MeSH terms". The "Modified Jadad Scale" was used for the methodology assessment of the included studies.
Unlocking the potential of the hydrogen economy is dependent on achieving green hydrogen (H ) production at competitive costs. Engineering highly active and durable catalysts for both oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions (OER and HER) from earth-abundant elements is key to decreasing costs of electrolysis, a carbon-free route for H production. Here, a scalable strategy to prepare doped cobalt oxide (Co O ) electrocatalysts with ultralow loading, disclosing the role of tungsten (W), molybdenum (Mo), and antimony (Sb) dopants in enhancing OER/HER activity in alkaline conditions, is reported.
