Recent advances in photocatalytic nanomaterials for environmental remediation: Strategies, mechanisms, and future directions.

Innovative and efficient strategies are urgently needed for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation. The photocatalytic degradation properties of photo-responsive nanomaterials (NMs) have become a prime candidate due to their low negative impact and photo-adjustability. Photocatalytic NMs vary in their degradation of different pollutants depending on the type of synthetic material, excitation light source, and physicochemical properties.

Zirconium and cerium dioxide fabricated activated carbon-based nanocomposites for enhanced adsorption and photocatalytic removal of methylene blue and tetracycline hydrochloride.

Activated carbon (AC) is a porous, amorphous form of carbon known for its strong adsorption capacity, making it highly effective for use in wastewater treatment. In this investigation, AC-based nanocomposites (NCs) loaded with zirconium dioxide and cerium dioxide nanoparticles (ZrO/CeO NPs) were successfully synthesized for the effective elimination of methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The AC-ZrO/CeO NCs have a size of 231.

Effects of yellow and red bell pepper (paprika) extracts on pathogenic microorganisms, cancerous cells and inhibition of survivin.

The present work examined the biomedical value of red and yellow bell pepper extracts (YME and RME) in terms of antioxidant, antibacterial and anticancer activities by in vitro and virtual studies. The yield of extract was 3.49% for RME and 2.

Mycosynthesis, characterization, anticancer and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles from endophytic fungus .

Biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have wider range of biomedical applications. The present work synthesized Tp-AgNPs using mycelial extract of endophytic fungus (MEEF), characterized, and analyzed for antibacterial, anti-proliferation and cell wounding healing activities. The synthesized Tp-AgNPs were characterized by UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), particle size analysis (PSA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
