In this study, we investigate the electrodeposition of various metals on silicon. Mn, Co, Ni, Ru, Pd, Rh, and Pt were identified as promising candidates for controlled electrodeposition onto silicon. Electrochemical evaluations employing cyclic voltammetry, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) associated with energy-dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) techniques confirmed the deposition of Pd, Rh, and Pt as nanoparticles.

In this study, ZnO was doped and co-doped with rhodium and tungsten to assess the impact of these transition metals on the sonocatalytic degradation of reactive black 5 azo dye (RB-5). Structural analysis revealed that doping ZnO with 1% Rh and W does not alter its wurtzite hexagonal structure, although minor changes in cell parameters were observed due to differences in electronic density. Interestingly, co-doping resulted in lower degradation efficiency than single doping, with W-ZnO emerging as the most effective catalyst, achieving 100% RB-5 degradation within 60 min, likely due to a higher density of oxygen vacancies and hydroxyl groups.

The development and understanding of alternative plasmonic materials are crucial steps for leveraging new plasmonic technologies. Although gold and silver nanostructures have been intensively studied, the promising plasmonic, chemical and physical attributes of rhodium remain poorly investigated. Here, we report the synthesis and plasmonic response of spherical Rh nanoparticles (NPs) with sizes in the 20-40 nm range.

The use of supported rhodium nanoparticles (RhNPs) is gaining attention due to the drive for better catalyst performance and sustainability. Silica-based supports are promising for RhNP immobilization because of their thermal and chemical stability. Functionalizing silica allows for the design of catalysts with improved activity for biomass transformations.

Article Synopsis
- Rhodium nanoparticles show promise as effective photosensitizers in cancer treatment, emitting cytotoxic effects on cancer cells with near-infrared laser.
- The therapy disrupts tumor metabolism by inhibiting proteins for ATP synthesis and mitochondrial function, leading to reduced energy in cancer cells.
- It induces oxidative stress and apoptosis, minimizes cell invasion, and is effective even against multi-drug resistant cells, with tests showing reduced tumor growth in a chicken embryo model while keeping the embryos viable.
