We present a theoretical and experimental study on the influence of the Ba/Sr and Co/Fe ratios as well as the oxygen-non-stoichiometry on the stability of Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ (BSCF). Thin-layer depositions are analysed by looking at TEM images and EDX spectra. Bond-analytical calculations are performed to explain the stability difference between hexagonal and cubic BSCF. Finally, annealing experiments analysed using XRD give an insight into the differences of phase-fraction growth with respect to the Ba/Sr ratio.

Herein, we have used a simple synthetic strategy to access a novel non-sulfur fluorescent molecular probe coumarin and 1,8-napthyridine conjugated probe DNCS. The developed probe has great selectivity and sensitivity for detecting Hg ions. Our photophysical properties evaluation for the synthesized probe with different metal ions (Ba, Al, Ca, Bi, Ce, Cd, Cu, Sr, Co, Fe, Cr, Fe, Mn, Hg, Zn, Pb, Ni, and Sn) unveiled the very selective and sensitive fluorescence sensing behavior with Hg ions in the energy window of near UV and visible light radiation in an organic aqueous solvent mixture (EtOH and water).

Carbon dots were synthesized from fenugreek seeds through a single step hydrothermal method. The method is simple, fast, pleasant to the environment and cheaper. The CDs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), UV-visible spectrophotometer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and fluorescence.

Article Synopsis
  • Alginates are marine polysaccharides that can bind calcium ions and form hydrogels, making them useful in the biomedical field, though their production as nanogels is difficult.
  • The study introduces a self-assembly method to create stable alginate-based nanogels by combining guluronate blocks from alginates with dextran chains, resulting in micellar structures in the presence of divalent ions.
  • Using techniques like dynamic light scattering and small-angle neutron scattering, researchers found that these micelles have a consistent size of about 8 nm and can exchange ions, demonstrating dynamic behavior even in the presence of agents that can disassemble them.

Polyoxometalates (POMs), representing anionic metal-oxo clusters, display diverse properties depending on their structures, constituent elements, and countercations. These characteristics position them as promising catalysts or catalyst precursors for electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CORR). This study synthesized various salts-TBA (tetra--butylammonium), Cs, Sr, and Ba-of a dipalladium-incorporated POM (Pd2, [γ-HSiWOPd(OAc)]) immobilized on a carbon support (Pd2/C).
