In this study, the kinetic mechanism of adsorption and desorption, as well as the equilibrium isotherms, of four metallic ions (Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) mono and multicomponent were investigated. The biosorbent used was produced from Jerivá (Syagrus romanzoffiana-commonly known as queen palm) coconut. A kinetic model that considers macropore diffusion as a control step was solved. The finite volume method was used in the discretization of the equations, and the algorithm was implemented in the Fortran programming language. The equilibrium time for monocomponent adsorption was 5 min; for the multicomponent tests, equilibrium occurred instantly (less than 2 min of adsorption). The pseudo-second-order model presented the lowest mean of the sum of normalized errors (SNE) and represented the experimental data of mono and multicomponent adsorption and desorption. Single and multicomponent Langmuir model represented the adsorption isotherms. The maximum capacity of adsorption of metallic ions, both mono and multicomponent, was higher for copper, and the multicomponent adsorption proved to be antagonistic; the presence of co-ions in the solution reduced the removal of metals due to competition between these contaminants. The capture preference order was justified by the physicochemical properties of the ions, such as electron incompatibility and electronegativity. All these situations justified the maximum adsorption of Cu, followed by Zn, Cd, and Ni in the mixture.

In the present study, we prepared Gum Acacia-cl-Acrylic acid-co-itaconic acid (GA-cl-AA-co-IA) hydrogels by free radical crosslink polymerization method for the efficient removal of Rhodamine-B (RhB) dye. The hydrogels were further characterized by different characterization techniques: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Brunuer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) to confirm synthesis. The synthesis parameters were optimized by swelling studies, which were performed by gravimetric analysis method.

Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO) to fuel provides an ideal pathway to achieving carbon neutrality. One significant hindrance in achieving the reduction of CO to higher energy density multicarbon products (C) was the difficulty in coupling C-C bonds efficiently. Copper (Cu) is considered the most suitable metal catalyst for C-C coupling to form C products in the CO reduction reaction (CORR), but it encounters challenges such as low product selectivity and slow catalytic efficiency.

The selective hydrogenation of nitrile compounds represents a pivotal area of research within both industrial and academic catalysis. In this study, we prepared Ni-Cu bimetallic catalysts through a co-deposition-crystallization sequence, aimed at the efficient production of primary and secondary amines. The enhanced selectivity for primary amines is attributed to the downshift of the d-band center of NiCu, which weakens the adsorption of key imine intermediates.

Although MoSe-based photodetectors have achieved excellent performance, the ultrafast photoresponse has limited their application as an optoelectronic synapse. In this paper, the enhancement of the rhodamine 6G molecule on the memory time of MoSe is reported. It is found that the memory time of monolayer MoSe can be obviously enhanced after assembly with rhodamine 6G exhibiting synaptic characteristics in comparison to pristine MoSe.
