Ionic Liquid Mediated Sol Gel Method for Fabrication of Nanostructured Cerium and Phosphorus Doped TiO - A Benign Photocatalyst: Diversified Applications in Degradation of Dyes and Microbes.

This work aims to produce semiconductor nanoparticles capable of harnessing visible light for the degradation of dyes and microbes. Employing an ionic liquid-assisted sol-gel process with varying dopant weight percentages, the study focuses on crafting Cerium (Ce) and Phosphorus (P) doped TiO Nanomaterials. Structural assessments, including Powder X-ray Diffraction (confirming the anatase phase), Transmission Electron Microscopy (revealing a particle size of 6.

Soil Microbial Community Structure and Diversity around the Aging Oil Sludge in Yellow River Delta as Determined by High-Throughput Sequencing.

Microorganisms are sensitive indicators of edaphic environmental variation. The Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology was used to analyze soil bacterial community diversity around an aging oil sludge in the Yellow River Delta. The alpha diversity index of soil bacterial community results (Ace, Chao, Shannon, and Simpson) determined that bacterial community diversity sampling within the scope of a 20 cm radius from the center of an aging oil sludge spot showed the most abundant diversity.
