Ba(PO) Photocatalyst for Efficient Photocatalytic Application.

Barium phosphate (Ba(PO)) is a class of material that has attracted significant attention thanks to its chemical stability and versatility. However, the use of Ba(PO) as a photocatalyst is scarcely reported, and its use as a photocatalyst has yet to be reported. Herein, Ba(PO) nanoflakes synthesis is optimized using sol-gel and hydrothermal methods.

Photosensitization of TiO microspheres by novel Quinazoline-derivative as visible-light-harvesting antenna for enhanced Rhodamine B photodegradation.

Water pollution is one of the global threats severely affecting our planet and human health. Organic textile dyes are one of the common organic water pollutants that are presentient to degradation by traditional physical methods. Semiconductor-assisted photocatalysis is considered a green, efficient, and sustainable technology for wastewater treatment.

Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanoheterostructures as Novel Platforms for the Electrochemical Sensing of the Chemotherapeutic and Immunomodulator Agent MTX.

We report on the electrochemical determination of one the most effective and widely used chemotherapeutic, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulator agents, methotrexate (MTX), using low-cost, green, and facile one-pot prepared graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN ) nanosheets. The g-CN nanosheets have been characterized utilizing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and density functional theory (DFT). In comparison to the bare carbon paste electrode (CPE), the g-CN -modified electrode showed a spectacular enhancement in the electrochemical oxidation and detection abilities of MTX.

Superior visible light antimicrobial performance of facet engineered cobalt doped TiO mesocrystals in pathogenic bacterium and fungi.

Pristine and Co-doped TiO mesocrystals have been synthesized via a simple sol-gel method and their antimicrobial activity has been investigated. The antimicrobial performance was evaluated in terms of zone of inhibition, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), antibiofilm activity, and effect of UV illumination in liquid media. The Co-doped TiO mesocrystals showed very promising MIC of 0.
