The work reports the development of a novel adsorbent material based on modified chitosan for removal of Cu (II) and Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solution. Heterocyclic modification of chitosan has been achieved by the reaction of chitosan with 5-chloro-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbaldehyde resulting in a Schiff base. This was further modified by incorporation of graphene oxide at the C6 position through ester linkage. This modification results in increase in the number of binding sites like donor nitrogens, OH and COOH groups. The modified polymer was characterized using FTIR, TGA, SEM, EDS and XRD techniques. The adsorption capacity exhibited by the modified chitosan towards Cu (II) and Cr (VI) were 111.11 and 76.92 mg/g respectively which is a significant improvement compared to chitosan. The adsorption data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo second order kinetic model. The thermodynamic analysis of adsorption data indicated endothermic and spontaneous nature of adsorption. A high desorption of over 80% was achieved for Cu (II) in acidic solution and for Cr (VI) in basic solution indicating efficient recovery of adsorbate species.

The adoption of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is increasingly prevalent, driven by the global initiative to conserve energy and reduce emissions. Nevertheless, CCUS has the potential to induce corrosion in equipment, particularly in high-pressure environments containing carbon dioxide (CO). Therefore, anti-corrosion protection is necessary for the metal utilized for CO production and storage equipment.

Background: Permethrin is a pesticide used to kill insects, and once used in excess, it poses a great threat to the environment and human health, therefore, it is necessary to realize the rapid and accurate detection of permethrin. Fiber optic surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes have the advantages of small volume and can be used for remote monitoring, which have great potential for application in achieving in-situ detection of pesticide residues.
Results: Fiber taper waist (FTW) SERS probes modified by silver nanocubes-graphene oxide (Ag NCs-GO) composite structures were prepared for in situ detection of permethrin in lake water.

Flexible sweat sensors play a crucial role in health monitoring and disease prevention by enabling real-time, non-invasive assessment of human physiological conditions. Sweat contains a variety of biomarkers, offering valuable insights into an individual's health status. In this study, we developed an advanced flexible electrochemical sensor featuring reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based electrodes, modified with a composite material comprising nitrogen and sulfur co-doped holey graphene (HG) and MXene, with in-situ-grown TiO nanoparticles on the MXene.

In this study, we designed a molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on the reduced graphene oxide/polydopamine@Mxene (RPM) and FeCu-MOF for the detection of antiviral drug ribavirin (RBV). The RPM composite enhances the active surface area and electron transport capacity of the sensor, and the incorporation of FeCu-MOF can not only further improve the catalytic performance of the material, but also enables the sensor to harness the electrical reduction signal of HO. Furthermore, we developed an optimized molecularly imprinted polymer via density functional theory (DFT) to enhance the sensor's specificity and sensitivity for RBV detection.

The broader use of botanical pesticides has been limited by shorter residual activity on plants, slower onset of action, and higher costs compared with conventional pesticides. These challenges could be overcome by the development of simple, cost-effective, and long-lasting preventive nanocomposites for botanical pesticides. In this study, we successfully developed a low-cost ethyl cellulose (EC)-based delivery system for the botanical pesticide osthole (OST), designed to provide extended preventive protection against infestations.
