Efficient Photocatalytic Dye Degradation and Bacterial Inactivation by Graphitic Carbon Nitride and Starch-Doped Magnesium Hydroxide Nanostructures.

The removal of hazardous pollutants from water is becoming an increasingly interesting topic of research considering their impact on the environment and the ecosystem. This work was carried out to synthesize graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) and starch-doped magnesium hydroxide (g-CN/St-Mg(OH)) nanostructures via a facile co-precipitation process. The focus of this study is to treat polluted water and bactericidal behavior with a ternary system (doping-dependent Mg(OH)).

Improved catalytic activity and bactericidal behavior of novel chitosan/VO co-doped in tin-oxide quantum dots.

The novel VO/chitosan (CS) co-doped tin oxide (SnO) quantum dots (QDs) were synthesized co-precipitation technique. The optical, structural, morphological, and catalytic properties of the concerned specimens were examined by UV-Vis, PL, FTIR, X-ray diffraction, HR-TEM, and EDS. Structural analysis through XRD confirmed the tetragonal structure of SnO; meanwhile, HR-TEM measurements unveiled quantum dot morphology.

Efficient Tetra-Functional Electrocatalyst with Synergetic Effect of Different Active Sites for Multi-Model Energy Conversion and Storage.

Energy crisis and global warming due to excessive CO emissions are the two major challenges of the world. Conversion of CO into useful fuels along with rechargeable metal air batteries and water splitting is one way to combat the energy crisis, which is bottlenecked due to the lack of multifunctional electrocatalyst. Herein simple but multifunctional electrocatalyst, which combined CoNi nanoalloy, N-doped carbon nanotubes, and single atomic Ni sites together is reported.

Nitrogen-rich core-shell structured particles consisting of carbonized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks and reduced graphene oxide for amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide.

Core-shell structured particles were prepared from carbonized zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The particles possess a nitrogen content of up to 10.6%.
