Article Abstract
In an effort to rationally design economic electrocatalysts, zinc-substituted cobalt phosphate and pyrophosphate were prepared using facile template-free combustion synthesis. They act as efficient stable bifunctional electrocatalysts due to the tuning of oxygen affinity by zinc substitution and catalytically active cobalt sites. Exploiting their bifunctional activity, these cobalt (pyro)phosphates were incorporated into a zinc-air battery in an alkaline electrolyte.

Colorectal cancer (CC) is one of the most predominant malignancies in the world, with the current treatment regimen consisting of surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Chemotherapeutic drugs, such as 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), have gained popularity as first-line antineoplastic agents against CC but have several drawbacks, including variable absorption through the gastrointestinal tract, inconsistent liver metabolism, short half-life, toxicological reactions in several organ systems, and others. Therefore, herein, we develop chitosan-coated zinc-substituted cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CZCFNPs) for the pH-sensitive (triggered by chitosan degradation within acidic organelles of cells) and sustained delivery of 5-FU in CC cells in vitro.

Development of highly efficient, earth-abundant, and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts is pivotal for designing viable next-generation metal-air batteries. Cobalt-based phosphates provide a treasure house to design electrocatalysts, with a wide range of cation substitutions to further enhance their electrocatalytic activity. In particular, phosphates with distorted geometry show favorable binding efficiency toward water molecules with low overpotential.

To eliminate the increasing adverse effects of electromagnetic pollution in everyday life, the shielding abilities of ferrite nanoparticles, multiwalled carbon nanotubes, and graphene oxide based hybrid composites have been investigated. The conceivable applications of the best investigated shielding composite samples on wearable and construction materials were investigated. Zinc substituted nickel and cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using a sol-gel method with average crystallite size of 15-20 nm and incorporated with MWCNT and MWCNT-GO in a 1 : 1 weight ratio.

The use of magnetic nanoparticles as theranostic agents for the detection and treatment of cancer diseases has been extensively analyzed in the last few years. In this work, cubic-shaped cobalt and zinc-doped iron oxide nanoparticles with edge lengths in the range from 28 to 94 nm are proposed as negative contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging and to generate localized heat by magnetic hyperthermia, obtaining high values of transverse relaxation coefficients and specific adsorption rates. The applied magnetic fields presented suitable characteristics for the potential validation of the results into the clinical practice in all cases.
