To overcome the limits of low adsorption capacity and the separation difficulty of solid from liquid phase for graphene oxide (GO), a novel nanocomposite graphene oxide-manganese oxide (GOMO) was facilely fabricated under ultrasonic radiation. The structures and micro-morphology of the products were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, raman shift spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of solution pH, adsorbent dose, contact time, initial uranium concentration, ionic strength and temperature on uranium removal efficiency was studied by batch adsorption experiments. The product GOMO was used to examine the feasibility of the removal of high salt content in uranium-containing wastewater. The adsorption results were fitted using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models. The kinetic parameters in the adsorption process were measured and fitted. Five adsorption/desorption cycles were performed using 3 M HNO as the regenerant in order to evaluate the reuse of GOMO.

Background: Given the importance of achieving optimal therapeutical concentration in patients treated with antidepressants, this study investigates a novel technique for the simultaneous determination of trazodone (TRZ) and doxepin (DOX) in human plasma and serum samples for the first time.
Results: To achieve simultaneous determination of two antidepressants, TRZ and DOX, a novel detection system was designed: a non-enzymatic voltammetric biosensor based on boron-reduced graphene oxide/manganese oxide nanoparticles (GCE/B-rGO/MnO NPs). The detection was accomplished after pre-concentration and extraction trace amounts of the analytes using the thin film-solid phase microextraction (TF-SPME) technique, which employed polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinyl acetate/copper oxide nanoparticles (PVA/PVAc/CuO NPs) electrospun nanofibers.

Wearable smart textile sensors for monitoring vital signs are fast, noninvasive, and highly desirable for personalized health management to diagnose health anomalies such as cardiovascular diseases and respiratory dysfunction. Traditional biosignal sensors, with power consumption issues, constrain the use of wearable medical devices. This study introduces an autonomous triboelectric smart textile sensor (AUTS) made of reduced graphene oxide/manganese dioxide/polydimethylsiloxane (RGO-M-PDMS) and polytetrafluoroethylene (TEFLON)-knitted silver electrode, offering promise for vital sign monitoring with self-powering, flexibility, and wearability.

An innovative electrochemical sensing method is introduced for dihydroxy benzene (DHB) isomers, specifically hydroquinone (HQ) and pyrocatechol (PCC), employing a zinc-oxide/manganese-oxide/reduced-graphene-oxide (ZnO/MnO/rGO) nanocomposite (NC) as an electrode modifier material. Comprehensive characterization confirmed well-dispersed ZnO/MnO nanoparticles on rGO sheets. Electrochemical analysis revealed the ZnO/MnO/rGO-NC-based modified electrode possesses low electrical resistance (126.

Three-dimensional asymmetric supercapacitors (3D ASC) have garnered significant attention due to their high operating window, theoretical energy density, and circularity. However, the practical application of 3D electrode materials is limited by brittleness and excessive dead volume. Therefore, we propose a controlled contraction strategy that regulates the pore structure of 3D electrode materials, eliminates dead volume in the 3D skeleton structure, and enhances mechanical strength.
