This study explored the synergistic potential of photoelectrochemical water splitting through bifunctional CoO/g-CN heterostructures. This novel approach merged solar panel technology with electrochemical cell technology, obviating the need for external voltage from batteries. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction were utilized to confirm the surface morphology and crystal structure of fabricated nanocomposites; CoO, CoO/g-CN, and CoO/Cg-CN.

Article Synopsis
- Myrtle methanolic extract (MMEx) shows promising antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, with high total phenolic and flavonoid contents; its most abundant compounds include 1,8-cineole and α-pinene.
- In vitro and in vivo tests demonstrated that MMEx effectively inhibits oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly showing good results against carrageenan-induced paw edema.
- The pharmacokinetic study indicated that the active compounds from MMEx have favorable absorption and distribution profiles, with limited toxicity, making it a potential therapeutic option for health issues related to oxidative stress and inflammation.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of a new nanocomposite combining tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with graphene oxide and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) for enhanced energy storage performance.
- This innovative composite achieved a specific capacitance of 478.3 F·g, outperforming the traditional tungsten trioxide-graphene oxide combination, which had a capacitance of 345.3 F·g.
- Additionally, the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)@tungsten trioxide-graphene oxide composite demonstrated excellent cycling stability, maintaining 92.1% capacity after 5000 cycles, making it a promising material for super
Article Synopsis
- To combat the high antibiotic tolerance of biofilms, a new nanovector drug delivery system using Dispersin B and ciprofloxacin was developed to enhance drug effectiveness against bacterial clusters.
- Complexation studies indicated a 1/1 ratio between the antibiotic and various modified β-cyclodextrins, with different derivatives influencing the drug's solubility and antibacterial activity.
- Ultimately, a novel system was created to degrade biofilm structures while simultaneously releasing the antibiotic, promising improved treatment strategies for infections caused by resistant bacterial communities.
