In this study, an in situ microwave activated platinum electrode was developed for the first time to completely incinerate the azo dye simulated wastewater containing methyl orange. The experiments were carried out in a circulating system under atmospheric pressure. Azo bond of methyl orange was partly broken on Pt, certain decoloration was reached, and the total organic carbon was not removed effectively without microwave activation. However, methyl orange was mineralized completely and efficiently on the in situ microwave activated Pt. 2,5-Dinitrophenol, p-nitrophenol, hydroquinone, benzoquinone, maleic and oxalic acids are the main intermediates during degradation of methyl orange. Aromatic products are the main substances leading to the poisoning of Pt and decrease of electrochemical oxidation efficiency, so methyl orange removal can not be carried out thoroughly. However, the intermediates were broke down quickly with in situ microwave activation promoting the mineralization of methyl orange on Pt.

A catalytic system has been developed, utilizing metal nanoparticles confined within a chitosan‑carbon black composite hydrogel (M-CH/CB), aimed at improving ease of use and recovery in catalytic processes. The M-CH/CBs were characterized by XRD, SEM, and EDX, the M-CH/CB system demonstrated exceptional catalytic activity in producing hydrogen gas (H) from water and methanol, and in reducing several hazardous materials including 2-nitrophenol (2-NP), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), 2,6-dinitrophenol (2,6-DNP), acridine orange (ArO), methyl orange (MO), congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB), and potassium ferricyanide (PFC). Among the tested nanocatalysts, CH/CB showed the highest efficiency for H₂ production, while Fe-CH/CB excelled in contaminant reduction (7.

Cyclodextrins are widely used pharmaceutical excipients known to increase the solubility of drug compounds through formation of inclusion complexes. A prominent limitation of common cyclodextrins is their own scarce solubility in water, which renders them unsuitable for many drug formulations. Cyclodextrin solubility can be enhanced in appropriate media such as Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs).

Two 3D/2D anionic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Cu(HL)] () and [Mn(L)(DMF)] ( (DMF = ,-dimethylformamide), were synthesized by the solvothermal reaction of metal salts and 5'-(4-carboxyphenyl)-2',4',6'-triethyl-[1,1':3',1″-terphenyl]-4,4″-dicarboxylic acid (HL). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that complex shows three-dimensional (3D) frameworks with a (3,6)-connected 3-fold interpenetrated topology with the Schläfli symbols of {4.6}{4.

This study investigates the biosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) using the cell-free supernatant of Pseudomonas fluorescens. The synthesized FeONPs were characterized through UV-VIS, XRD, FTIR, FESEM, EDX, TEM, BET, and VSM analyses. The XRD results confirmed that FeONPs were successfully synthesized and EDX analysis indicated that iron accounted for 89.
