Herein, core double-shell direct dual Z-scheme ZnO-CeS-MnO nanocomposite was synthesized via a hydrothermal route along with pure ZnO, CeS, MnO, and characterized by numerous characterization tools for application in synthetic dyes degradation. The XRD, Raman, and FTIR analyses have confirmed the nanocomposite formation. TEM images exhibited the core double-shell morphology with an average particle diameter of 81 nm and stacking of ZnO, CeS, and MnO.

The availability of hydrogen energy from water splitting through the electrocatalytic route is strongly dependent on the efficiency, durability, and cost of the electrocatalysts. Herein, a novel BiS-covered SmO (BiS-SmO) nanocomposite electrocatalyst was developed by a hydrothermal route for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The electrochemical properties were studied in 1.

Nowadays, environmental pollution due to discharge of organic pollutants from food, textile, and pharmaceutical industries into clean water and development of contagious diseases due to pathogenic organisms provide impetus to material researcher to fabricate novel design for efficient photocatalyst and antimicrobial agents. In this regard, designing a core-shell heterojunction catalyst based on metal oxides is considered an auspicious approach. In present study, combating the problems of singular oxides, core-shell PANI-CeO-FeO-NiO nanocomposite (PCFN) and CeO-FeO-NiO nanocomposite (CFN) was synthesized through sol-gel and oxidative polymerization route with cetyletrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperhomocystinemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular issues and is notably prevalent in renal transplant recipients, prompting this study to explore how age and time since transplant affect total homocysteine levels.
  • The analysis involved 88 renal transplant patients and 60 control subjects, revealing higher tHcy levels in transplant patients, with males exhibiting significantly higher levels than females, while age had no impact on tHcy levels.
  • A correlation was found between the duration since transplantation and tHcy levels, alongside relationships with other factors like urea, creatinine, vitamin B12, and potassium, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring in transplant patients.
