This study presents a highly efficient and cost-effective Cu/CeO2 catalyst for the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) of o-aminobenzyl alcohols and secondary alcohols to synthesize quinolines. The catalyst demonstrated over 90% yield in quinoline production under mild conditions, exhibiting excellent tolerance to various functional groups. The Cu/CeO2 catalyst, synthesized via a co-precipitation method, was thoroughly characterized through various techniques like PXRD, XPS, and AC-STEM.

These limitations negatively impact the effectiveness of therapy and result in increased treatment costs. Furthermore, conventional cancer therapies typically target tumor cells through a single mechanism, which eventually leads to the emergence of drug resistance.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) stimulates natural healing process through growth factors contained in platelets and has been employed for the same in delayed unions.
Methods: All patients > 18 years and documented delayed union were included in the study.
The growing commercialization of flexible electronic goods has led to increased interest in flexible wearable energy storage devices, particularly supercapacitors. The development of supercapacitive electrodes from low-cost, sustainable, and renewable materials is essential for promoting a green and eco-friendly approach. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with unique properties and structures hold the potential to produce a 3-D network-based electrode, which is necessary to utilize high-quality carbon materials.
