The synthesized undoped and nitrogen doped iron titanate films treated at 450 and 500 °C were crystallized forming pseudobrookite and landauite phase as shown by XRD patterns. The presence of urea in the synthesis procedure promoted the crystallization rate. XPS data indicated that iron ions existed in divalent and trivalent forms, and their ratio was changed for nitrogen-doped sample. The formation of the complexes between iron and urea during sol aging with the following reduction of Fe to Fe within calcination can be a reason not only for accumulation of iron onto the surface as shown by EDS but also for twice increase of divalent iron as registered by XPS. The iron titanate films extended the visible light absorption. Two band gap energy values for all iron-contained films were calculated. The photocatalytic response of all iron titanate films treated at 450 °C compared to pure titania films was spectacularly enhanced under UV and visible light. The slight enhance in photocatalytic activity of nitrogen-doped iron titanate films can be explained by the interstitial nitrogen incorporation rather than substitutional.

Infectious bone defects pose significant clinical challenges due to persistent infection and impaired bone healing. Icam1 macrophages were identified as crucial and previously unrecognized regulators in the repair of bone defects, where impaired oxidative phosphorylation within this macrophage subset represents a significant barrier to effective bone regeneration. To address this challenge, dual-responsive iron-doped barium titanate (BFTO) nanoparticles were synthesized with magnetic and ultrasonic properties.

Article Synopsis
- Split-mode aptasensing in photoelectrochemistry provides high sensitivity and selectivity but faces challenges with low photocurrent generation under current strategies.
- Ferrocyanide mediated metal-to-particle charge transition (MPCT) on strontium titanate (SrTiO) offers a novel signal transduction method, improving performance in aptasensing.
- Using 17β-Estradiol (E2) as a model analyte, the developed method demonstrated a wide detection range (1.0 pM-100 nM) and a low detection limit (0.3 pM), showcasing its potential for high-throughput applications.

A nanocomposite of iron barium titanate/NiFeO (FBT/NF) was synthesized using sol-gel techniques to form organized hexagonal structures. The effects of NiFeO nanostructures on FBT's phase purity, morphology, and dielectric properties were systematically explored and intensively discussed. TEM imaging confirmed the hexagonal structure, and electrical measurements revealed that para-electric NF influenced the conductivity and impedance of ferroelectric FBT, with a shift in Curie temperature to lower values.

Polyimides (PIs) have been extensively used in thin film and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) processes based on their excellent thermal and mechanical stability and high glass transition temperature. This research explores the development of a novel multilayer and multifunctional polymer composite electro-piezomagnetic device that can function as an energy harvester or sensor for current-carrying wires or magnetic field sensing. The devices consist of four layers of composite materials with a polyimide matrix.

Despite efforts to reduce the risk of toxic chemicals, colors, and dyes being released into the environment from urban and industrial areas, there is still cause for concern. Colored water must be filtered and sterilized before it can be used for irrigation. The utilization of metal oxide and nanocomposite materials in wastewater treatment procedures appears to be a viable option for the future.
