Highly efficient nanocatalysts with a high specific surface area were successfully synthesized by a cost-effective and environmentally friendly hydrothermal method. Structural and elemental purity, size, morphology, specific surface area, and band gap of pristine and 1 to 5% Cu-doped TiO nanoparticles were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), BET surface area, Raman spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and UV-visible diffused reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS) studies. The XPS and EPR findings indicated the successful integration of Cu ions into the TiO lattice.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers created magnetic nanomaterials (NiCuDyFeO) with copper and dysprosium doping using a sol-gel auto-combustion method to study their ability to degrade methylene blue, conduct electrocatalytic water splitting, and exhibit antibacterial effects.
  • The nanomaterials showed a single-phase spinel cubic structure and a rise in saturation magnetization along with a slight decrease in coercivity as the doping levels increased, while the optical band gap decreased significantly, enhancing photocatalytic activity to 93.67% degradation of methylene blue under sunlight.
  • The electrocatalytic performance was analyzed, revealing effective hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reactions with specified current densities and voltages; additionally, the antibacterial tests

Article Synopsis
  • Semiconductor photocatalysis is important for converting solar energy into renewable fuels, but many materials face limitations such as wide band gaps and the need for visible light activation.
  • Researchers synthesized strontium (Sr) doped SnO nanoparticles using a cost-effective and eco-friendly hydrothermal method, resulting in a rutile crystalline structure without impurities.
  • The study found that increasing the Sr dopant concentration reduced the bandgap of SnO, which enhanced its photocatalytic activity for hydrogen generation, indicating potential for improving photocatalytic and optoelectronic applications through bandgap tuning.

Article Synopsis
  • - Cr-doped SnO nanostructures with 1-5% dopant concentration were created using a low-temperature synthesis method, resulting in nanoparticles that are pure with a rutile tetragonal structure.
  • - The study analyzed the shape, size, band gap (3.23-3.67 eV), and specific surface area (108-225 m²/g) of the nanoparticles using various microscopy and spectroscopy techniques.
  • - Results indicate that these Cr-doped nanostructures show improved photocatalytic and electrochemical performance for hydrogen production, with increased dopant concentration leading to a more narrow band gap and better efficiency compared to undoped SnO.

Consumption of curry containing poppy seeds has raised an issue concerning the opiate content in the urine that might exceed the cut-off value (300ng/mL). The main objective of this study was to examine the morphine and codeine contents in the urine of the consumers after partaking poppy seed-enriched curry in. The volunteers were asked to partake: (a) a single meal and their urines were collected within 24h, or (b) Two meals a day for three consecutive days and their urines were collected within 72h.
