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.

Eliminating synthetic dyes and organic contaminants from water is crucial for safeguarding human health and preserving the environment. 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.

Supercapacitors (SCs) are potentially trustworthy energy storage devices, therefore getting huge attention from researchers. However, due to limited capacitance and low energy density, there is still scope for improvement. The race to develop novel methods for enhancing their electrochemical characteristics is still going strong, where the goal of improving their energy density to match that of batteries by increasing their specific capacitance and raising their working voltage while maintaining high power capability and cutting the cost of production.

The influence of different nitrogen source of varying concentrations on biomass production of green algae Scenedesmus was investigated. The result revealed that there was a significant difference among nitrogen sources in promoting algal biomass growth at lower concentrations of 5 and 10 mM. Nitrate was found to be a preferred form of nitrogen source and potassium (0.
