Article Synopsis
- A high-capacity supercapacitor electrode was created by electrospinning a composite of TiCT MXene, Polyaniline (PANI), and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF).
- The TiCT/PANI composite was synthesized by mixing TiCT with PANI in a NMP solution, and PVDF was added as a flexible binder for better electrospinning performance.
- The resulting electrode demonstrated impressive specific capacitance values of 740 Fg at a 2 mVs scan rate and 895 Fg at a 0.5 Ag charge-discharge current density, outperforming individual MXene and PANI electrodes.
Euphorbia tirucalli (Euphorbiaceae family) an environmental risk factor for Burkitt's lymphoma also has pharmacological activities. In the northeast of region in Brazil its latex is used as an antimicrobial, antiparasitic in the treatment of coughs, rheumatism, cancer and other disease as folk treatment. The prevalent constituents of this plant latex are diterpenes from the Inganen types (ingenol esters) as well as the tigliane (phorbol esters).

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in several manufactured products. The small size of NPs facilitates their uptake into cells as well as transcytosis across epithelial cells into blood and lymph circulation to reach different sites, such as the central nervous system. Different studies have shown the risks that TiO2 NPs in the neuronal system and other organs present.
