Article Synopsis
- Xylene is a toxic volatile organic compound used in industries, making the development of sensitive gas sensors for its detection crucial for health and environmental safety.! -
- The researchers created two types of nickel oxide (NiO) composites—double-shell (NiO-YDS) and triple-shell (NiO-YTS)—using a microwave-assisted method, and tested their ability to detect various substances, with a focus on xylene.! -
- The NiO-YTS sensor outperformed the NiO-YDS sensor, showing a high sensitivity of 217.5% for xylene, with excellent stability and quick response times, indicating its potential for improved gas sensing applications.!
Dermatomycoses are typical hair, skin, or nail infections caused mainly by dermatophytes and nondermatophytes: and In addition to the esthetical impact, pain, and nail deformity, these mycoses can be a source of severe disease. The high cost of treatment, toxicity, and the emergence of resistant infectious agents justifies research into new drugs. This work evaluates the fungicidal activity of nanocomposites (NCs) based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) loaded with silver (Ag) nanoparticles (rGO/Ag) against clinical isolates of dermatophytes and species.

Monitoring carbon dioxide (CO) levels is extremely important in a wide range of applications. Although metal oxide-based chemoresistive sensors have emerged as a promising approach for CO detection, the development of efficient CO sensors at low temperature remains a challenge. Herein, we report a low-temperature hollow nanostructured CeO-based sensor for CO detection.
