Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to developing electrode materials with high capacity to address the increasing complexities arising from the energy crisis. Herein, a new nanocomposite was synthesized via the sol-gel method by immobilizing KZnWO within the surface of NiZnO. ZnWO@NiZnO was characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, BET, and TGA-DTG methods.

The identification and confirmation of the nanocomposites obtained at each stage were carried out through the use of FT-IR, EDX, XRD, and FESEM analyses. To evaluate their ability to remove organic dyes, we analyzed the catalytic activity of these nanocomposites during photocatalytic detoxification procedures.

In this regard, a new nanocomposite ((n-CH)N)H[PWFeO]@NiO) was synthesized composed of quaternary ammonium bromide salt of iron-substituted Keggin-type polyoxometalate immobilized on nickel(II) oxide nanoceramics via sol-gel method. The assembled (n-CH)N)H[PWFeO]@NiO nanocomposite was identified by FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRD, SEM, EDX, and TGA-DTG methods.

In the present study, photosensitized singlet oxygen oxidation of iodate to periodate has been used to regenerate the oxidant in polyoxometalate (POM)-catalyzed oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with periodate in water. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first report on singlet oxygen oxidation of iodate to periodate.

In this regard, a new heterogeneous nanocatalyst (V-SPM@PANI@CH) was synthesized by immobilizing Keggin-type vanadium-substituted phosphomolybdate ([PVMoO]) (named V-SPM) clusters on the surface of polyaniline (PANI) and chitosan (CH) polymers. The features of the assembled nanocatalyst were detected by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques in detail.

Objective: To assess the effect of conventional catheter-directed thrombolysis (cCDT) plus anticoagulation vs anticoagulation monotherapy in improving echocardiographic measures of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle (LV) ratio in acute intermediate-high-risk PE.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis vs Anticoagulation in Patients with Acute Intermediate-High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism (CANARY) trial was an open-label, randomized clinical trial of patients with intermediate-high-risk PE, conducted in 2 large cardiovascular centers in Tehran, Iran, between December 22, 2018, through February 2, 2020.
A green, simple and eco-friendly procedure for the preparation of 3,4-dihydropyrano[]chromenes and 2-amino-4-chromene derivatives is described using Fe₃O₄@SiO₂-Sultone as a novel and efficient magnetic nanocatalyst. All reactions are performed under mild conditions and all products are obtained in high yields during short reaction times. The catalyst can be easily isolated from the reaction mixture by magnetic decantation using an external magnet and reused at least five times without significant degradation in the activity.

The synthesized materials were characterized by means of elemental analysis, Mn NMR, Si NMR, XRD, SEM, FT-IR and UV-vis techniques. The catalytic activity of TBA-SiWMn@PVA nanocomposite was tested on real gasoline in the presence of CHCOOH/HO as an oxidant and the results were compared with model sulphur compounds at the same conditions.
