Visual detection and efficient capture of hydrogen chloride and ammonia vapours by a sustainable dual emissive metal-organic framework.

A convenient, fast, selective, sustainable detection and capture of hydrochloric acid and ammonia vapours in the solid state with bare eye colour switching is observed by a robust microporous 2D zigzag Zn-MOF based material. Here ESIPT off/on based dual emission alteration has been employed for sensing.

Metal-free electrocatalytic upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate plastic to C products.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is one of the most used polymers, but the non-degradable and persistent nature of PET waste in the environment is a global menace. Hence upcycling PET waste becomes indispensable. Herein, we introduce the first metal-free electrochemical-upcycling of PET into value-added chemicals and H fuel using an organo-electrocatalyst (2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO).

Terpenoids as potential phytoconstituent in the treatment of diabetes: From preclinical to clinical advancement.

Background: Diabetes mellitus, a hyperglycemic condition associated with multitudinous organ dysfunction, is a hallmark of the metabolic disorder. This life-threatening condition affects millions of individuals globally, harming them financially, physically and psychologically in the course of therapy.

Purposes: The course therapy for illnesses has undergone ground-breaking transformations due to recent technical advances and insights.

Single-Crystal P2-NaMnNiO Cathode Material with Improved Cycling Stability for Sodium-Ion Batteries.

Layered oxides constitute one of the most promising cathode materials classes for large-scale sodium-ion batteries because of their high specific capacity, scalable synthesis, and low cost. However, their practical use is limited by their low energy density, physicochemical instability, and poor cycling stability. Aiming to mitigate these shortcomings, in this work, we synthesized polycrystalline (PC) and single-crystal (SC) P2-type NaMnNiO (NMNO) cathode materials through a solid-state route and evaluated their physicochemical and electrochemical performance.
