In this study, lead(II) sulfide (PbS) nanocrystals were modified on nickel(II)oxide nanosheets (NiO NSs) via the chemical bath method. Afterwards, Au nanoparticles (NPs) were also modified successfully. A photoelectrochemical (PEC) self-powered platform for detecting sarcosine with high PEC activity was constructed. The capacity of NiO NSs to be loaded with other sensitizing materials was mainly attributed to its porous structure and large specific surface area. Under optimum conditions, the constructed PEC self-powered cathodic sensor for detecting sarcosine exhibited a linear range in 5.0 × 10-5.0 × 10 mol/L with a detection limit (LOD) of 1.7 × 10 mol/L. The biosensor demonstrated good reproducibility, acceptable stability and high specificity, thus confirming its potential application in the detection of other similar substances.

Bacterial infection has always been a serious public health problem worldwide. Real-time microbial monitoring in the trauma resuscitation unit is crucial for infection control and plays an essential role in all aspects of wound treatment clinical practice, such as identification and evaluation of wound infection, diagnosis of wound infection, and topical antimicrobial treatment. Herein, gold-loaded nickel oxide nanosheets (Au-NiO NSs) prepared by hydrothermal and laser-assisted synthesis methods are used as fluorescent nanoprobes to rapidly detect and target bacteria at an early stage, and then achieve combined PTT and PDT to inactivate bacteria under sunlight.

Aerosols are potential supplier of nutrients to the surface water of oceans and can impact biogeochemical processes particularly in the remote locations. The nutrient data from atmospheric supply is poorly reported from the Indian Ocean region. In this study, we present atmospheric nutrients such as reactive nitrogen species (Nitrate, Ammonium, Organic nitrogen), micro-nutrients (e.

Vanadium oxide (VO) and carbon spheres (Cs)-doped NiO nanostructures (NSs) were prepared using the co-precipitation approach. Several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis, FTIR, TEM, and HR-TEM investigations, were used to describe the as-synthesized NSs. The XRD pattern exhibited the hexagonal structure, and the crystallite size of pristine and doped NSs was calculated as 29.

Metal oxide nanomaterials directly grown on conductive substrates are optimal electrode materials because their structures allow for rapid ion and electron transport and thereby reduce internal resistance in the electrode. The development of such binder-free, self-supporting electrodes is of great significance for applications in electrocatalysis. In this work, a simple hydrothermal in situ self-assembly reaction and annealing process was developed to prepare three kinds of nickel oxide @ carbon felt (NiO@CF) nanocomposites with different morphologies.

The isotopic composition of stable carbon (δC) and nitrogen (δN) in marine aerosols influenced by the continental outflows are useful proxies for understanding the aging and secondary formation processes. Every winter, the haze pollutants transported from South Asia significantly affect the chemical composition of marine atmospheric boundary layer of the Arabian Sea. Here, we assessed the δC of total carbon (TC) and δN of total nitrogen (TN) in marine aerosols collected over the Arabian Sea during a winter cruise (6-24 December 2018).
