In this study, adsorption is an attractive for the removal of industrial dyes from aqueous simulated wastewaters is reported. The ternary graphene oxide-TiO₂-SiO₂ (GTS) nanocomposite was synthesized by sol-gel method. The as-synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by XRD, BET, FT-IR, SEM-EDAX and TEM analysis. It was found that the synthesised nanocomposite has excellent adsorption and photocatalytic degradation abilities for the removal of cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) owing to its homogeneous mesoporosity with a BET surface area of 583.15 m²/g. Furthermore, the adsorption mechanism of these cationic dyes follows pseudosecond-order kinetic model. In addition, the GTS nanocomposite showed maximum adsorption efficiency over MB and CV around 384.62 mg/g and 188.68 mg/g respectively. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS°) calculated from the temperature dependent isotherms suggested that the adsorption was spontaneous and endothermic in nature. The study on the reusability of the GTS nanocomposite showed that, even after five succeeding cycles, the capacity of the adsorbent was almost identical.

Water conductivity sensing relies universally on electrical measurements, which are subject to corrosion of the electrodes and subsequent signal drift in prolonged in situ uses. Furthermore, they cannot provide contactless sensing or remote readout. To this end, a novel device for water conductivity monitoring has been developed by employing a microenvironment-sensitive ruthenium complex, [Ru(2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-disulfonato)], embedded into a quaternary ammonium functionalized cross-linked polymer support.

Cellulose is a homopolymer composed of β-glucose units linked by 1,4-beta linkages in a linear arrangement, providing its structure with intermolecular H-bonding networking and crystallinity. The participation of hydroxy groups in the H-bonding network results in a low-to-average nucleophilicity of cellulose, which is insufficient for executing a nucleophilic reaction. Importantly, as a polyhydroxy biopolymer, cellulose has a high proportion of hydroxy groups in secondary and primary forms, providing it with limited aqueous solubility, highly dependent on its form, size, and other materialistic properties.

The ion binding to the lipid/water interface can substantially influence the structural, functional, and dynamic properties of the cell membrane. Despite extensive research on ion-lipid interactions, the specific effects of ion binding on the polarity and hydration at the lipid/water interface remain poorly understood. This study explores the influence of three biologically relevant divalent cations─Mg, Ca, and Zn─on the depth-dependent interfacial polarity and hydration of zwitterionic DPPC lipid in its gel phase at room temperature.

Background: The unregulated use of pesticides by farmers, for crop productivity results in widespread contamination of organophosphates in real environmental samples, which is a growing societal concern about their potential health effects. The conventional approaches for the monitoring these organophosphate-based pesticides which include immunoassays, electrochemical methods, immunosensors, various chromatography techniques, along with some spectroscopic methods, are either costly, sophisticated, or involves the use of different metal complexes. Therefore, there is an urgent need for sensitive, quick, and easy-to-use detection techniques for the screening of widely used organophosphate-based pesticides.

Basic dyes are highly toxic and have adverse effects on humans such as accelerated heart rate, shock, cyanosis, and tissue necrosis upon ingestion or skin contact. Efficient removal of basic dye pollutants from wastewater is therefore essential for the protection of the environment and human health. Biomolecules exhibit excellent dye removal performance in terms of removal capacity, selectivity, and rate.
