Multi-element determination of trace elements in urine and dialysis solutions by atomic absorption spectrometry has been investigated. Coprecipitation with samarium hydroxide was used for preconcentration of trace elements and elimination of matrix elements. To 10 ml of each sample was added 500 mul of 2 mgml(-1) samarium solutions; the pH was then adjusted to 12.2 in order to collect trace heavy metals on samarium hydroxide. The precipitate was separated by centrifugation and dissolved in 1 ml of 1 moll(-1) HNO(3). Coprecipitation parameters and matrix effects are discussed. The precision, based on replicate analysis, is around 5% for the analytes, and recovery is quantitative, based on analysis of spiked samples and solutions including matrix components. The time required for the coprecipitation and determination was about 30 min.

An innovative electrochemical sensor is introduced that utilizes bipolar electrochemistry on a paper substrate for detecting glucose in sweat. The sensor employs a three-dimensional porous nanocomposite (MXene/NiSm-LDH) formed by decorating nickel-samarium nanoparticles with double-layer MXene hydroxide. These specially designed electrodes exhibit exceptional electrocatalytic activity during glucose oxidation.

In this study, a green approach was used to synthesize SmMnO magnetic nanoparticles via the auto combustion method, where pomegranate juice was utilized as a natural fuel. The concentration of fuel was varied to investigate its effect on the purity and morphology of SmMnO nanoparticles. The physiochemical properties of the synthesized nanoparticles, including crystal structures, morphology, optical, and magnetic properties, were investigated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET).

Here, we report the fabrication of an enzyme-free glucose sensor benefiting from nickel-samarium nanoparticles-decorated MXene layered double hydroxide (MXene/Ni/Sm-LDH). The electrochemical response of the MXene/Ni/Sm-LDH to glucose was studied via cyclic voltammetry (CV). The fabricated electrode has high electrocatalytic activity for glucose oxidation.

Rare-earth elements (REEs) are in all respect a class of new contaminants that may have toxic effects on organisms and microorganisms and information on their interactions with natural ligands should be of value to predict and control their diffusion in natural environments. In the current study, we investigate interactions of tripositive cations of praseodymium, europium, holmium, and thulium with harzianic acid (HL), a secondary metabolite produced by selected strains of fungi belonging to the genus. We applied the same techniques and workflow previously employed in an analogous study concerning lanthanum, neodymium, samarium, and gadolinium tripositive cations.
