Electrifying energy storage by investigating the electrochemical behavior of CoCrO/graphene-oxide nanocomposite as supercapacitor high performance electrode material.

This study reports novel three-step electrochemical fabrication of CoCrO/graphene-oxide nanocomposite on glassy carbon electrode including sequential synthesis of graphene-oxide using modified Hummer's method, CoCrO nanoparticles using sol-gel method and the cost-effective co-precipitation technique for nanocomposite formation. The resulting nanocomposite was subjected to comprehensive analytical and morphological analysis. X-ray diffractometry (XRD) confirms nanocomposite formation with reduced average crystallite size value of 26.

A review on exploring the potential of PVA and chitosan in biomedical applications: A focus on tissue engineering, drug delivery and biomedical sensors.

Polymers have been integral to the advancement of biomedicine, owing to their exceptional versatility and functionality. Among these, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan both natural polymers stand out for their remarkable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and unique properties. This review article provides a comprehensive examination of the diverse applications of PVA and chitosan in three pivotal areas: tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biosensors.

Comparison of different fragmentation techniques for the production of true-to-life microplastics.

Microplastics are small plastic particles found widely in the environment, posing significant challenges as diverse environmental contaminants. Their pervasive presence and potential impacts on ecosystems and human health underscore the importance of research in this field. However, working with microplastics in the laboratory and field can be challenging due to the difficulty in creating particles that are similar to those found in the environment.

Green synthesized nitrogen-doped nickel hexacyanoferrate incorporated in guar gum-xanthan gel for efficient sunlight-driven degradation of water pollutants.

Herein, nitrogen-doped nickel hexacyanoferrate (N@NiHCF) nanoparticles were prepared via co-precipitation and incorporated in guar gum (GG)-Xanthan gum (Xa) based-polymeric-matrix (GGXa@N@NiHCF) for efficient removal of rose bengal (RB) dye and nonyl phenol (NP) pollutants under sunlight. PXRD, FESEM, XPS, and FTIR analysis verified successful integration of N@NiHCF nanoparticles into GGXa matrix. Scherrer and Williamson-Hall equations estimated average-crystallite sizes of GGXa@N@NiHCF nanoparticles to be 16.
