A novel uranyl ion-selective bulk optode membrane, incorporating tri-n-octylphosphine oxide for cation recognition and a lipophilic chromoionophore dibenzoylmethane, has been prepared. The PVC membrane composition was optimized to result in the widest working concentration range. The response range of the proposed optode is 4.1 x 10(-6) to 2.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) UO2(2+). The probe works at pH 4.0. Ion interference is low and selectivity, reproducibility, and stability are good.

The resurgence of interest in sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) is largely driven by their natural abundance and favourable cost, apart from their comparable electrochemical performance when compared with lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The uneven geographic distribution of the raw materials required for LIBs has also contributed to this. The solid-state electrolyte (SSE) is typically one of the vital components for energy storage in SIBs and for achieving high electrochemical performances.

Obtaining analytical information about chemical species at interfaces is fundamentally important to improving our understanding of chemical reactions and biological processes. pH at solid-liquid interfaces is found to deviate from the bulk solution value, for example, in electrocatalytic reactions at surfaces or during the corrosion of metals. Also, in the vicinity of living cells, metabolic reactions or cellular responses cause changes in pH at the extracellular interface.

ConspectusIon-selective membranes are key components for sustainable energy devices, including osmotic power generators, electrolyzers, fuel cells, and batteries. These membranes facilitate the flow of desired ions (permeability) while efficiently blocking unwanted ions (selectivity), which forms the basis for energy conversion and storage technologies. To improve the performance of energy devices, the pursuit of high-quality membranes has garnered substantial interest, which has led to the exploration of numerous candidates, such as polymeric membranes (e.

Background: Through the use of sustainable and green chemistry concepts, scientists need to decrease waste, conserve energy, and develop safe substitutes for hazardous compounds, all for protecting and benefiting society and the environment.
Objective: Four novel eco-friendly ion selective electrodes (ISE) were generated to determine Ethamsylate (ETM) in bulk powder and different pharmaceutical formulations. The present electrodes were fabricated to clearly distinguish ETM from a variety of inorganic, organic ions, sugars, some common drug excipients and the degradation product, hydroquinone (HQ) of ETM, and thus used for stability-indicating methods.

Pulmonary ionocytes are a newly discovered airway epithelial cell type proposed to be a major contributor to cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease based on observations they express the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) anion channel at a higher level than any other cell type in the airway epithelia. Moreover, genetically manipulated experimental models that lack ionocytes develop NaCl transport abnormalities and airway surface liquid (ASL) dehydration consistent with CF. However, no direct evidence indicates ionocytes engage in NaCl transport or contribute to ASL formation, questioning the relevance of ionocytes to CF lung disease.
