Background: In this article, carbon coated titanium dioxide nanotubes (TiO2-NT@C) are employed for the determination of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid in urine by LC-MS/MS.
Results: All the variables involved in the extraction have been studied and optimized in depth. The method has been analytically characterized on the basis of its linearity, accuracy, sensitivity and precision. The LOD is 155.8 μg/l while the repeatability and the reproducibility, expressed as RSD, are better than 5.42 and 5.25%, respectively. The obtained relative recovery is 115%.
Conclusion: TiO2-NT@C permit the efficient extraction of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid from complex biological samples such as urine allowing its sensitive determination by LC-MS/MS.

Transition metal-based catalysts with high efficiency and stability for overall water splitting (OWS) offer significant potential for reducing green hydrogen production costs. Utilizing sputtering deposition technology, we propose a deposition-diffusion strategy to fabricate heterojunction coatings composed of ultrafine FeCoNi-C-N transition metal interstitial solid solution (TMISS) nanocrystals and amorphous nitrided carbon (NC) on the pre-deposited NC micro column arrays. The diffusion of C and N atoms results in the formation of uniformly distributed TMISS nanocrystals, with an average diameter of ~1.

This paper describes the first use of conductive metal-organic frameworks as the active material in the electrochemical detection of nitric oxide in aqueous solution. Four hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP)-based MOFs linked with first-row transition metal nodes (M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were compared as thin-film working electrodes for promoting oxidation of NO using voltammetric and amperometric techniques. Cu- and Ni-linked MOF analogs provided signal enhancement of 5- to 7-fold over a control glassy carbon electrode (SA = 6.

Apatite nanoparticles are biocompatible nanomaterials, so their film formation on biodevices is expected to provide effective bonding with living organisms. However, the biodevice-apatite interfaces have not yet been elucidated because there is little experimental evaluation and discussion on the nanoscale interactions, as well as the apatite surface reactivities. Our group has demonstrated the biomolecular adsorption properties on a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) sensor coated with apatite nanoparticles, demonstrating the applicability of apatite nanoparticle films on devices.

Photocatalytic technology for removing organic dye pollutants has gained considerable attention because of its ability to harness abundant solar energy without requiring additional chemical reagents. In this context, YF spheres doped with Yb, Er, Tm (YF) are synthesized using a hydrothermal method and are subsequently coated with a layer of graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) with Au nanoparticles (NPs) adsorbed onto the surface to create a core-shell structure, designated as YF: Yb, Er, Tm@CN-Au (abbreviated as YF@CN-Au). The core-shell composites demonstrate remarkable stability, broadband absorption, and exceptional photocatalytic activity across the ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) spectral range.

Purpose: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as carriers for silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). In this process, MWCNTs were coated with mesoporous silica (MWCNT-Silica) for uniform and regular loading of AgNPs on the MWCNTs. In addition, astaxanthin (AST) extract was used as a reducing agent for silver ions to enhance the antioxidant, antibiofilm, and anticancer activities of AgNPs.
