In the present work, FeZrSmB (x = 2, 4) amorphous alloys (AAs) were successfully synthesized into the shape of 40-micrometer-thick ribbons and their magnetic properties were measured. The FeZrSmB (x = 2, 4) AAs exhibited a rather high maximum magnetic entropy change (-Δ): ~3.53 J/(K × kg) near 317 K for x = 2 and ~3.79 J/(K × kg) near 348 K for x = 4 under 5 T. The effects of a Sm substitution for Zr on the Curie temperature () and -Δ were studied and compared to those of Nd and Pr substitutions, for the purpose of revealing the mechanism involved in more detail.

The synthesis of nanomaterials from PGPB is an exciting approach and it's often used in agriculture as nano-fertilizers and nano-pesticides. The present study reports a new approach to biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNP), using bacterial metabolites as agents to reduce Ag, which will remain as coating agents able to prevent microbial growth. Silver NP were biosynthesized using the bacterial metabolites produced by the beneficial strain Pseudomonas sp.

Half-metallicity, enabling 100% spin polarization, is pivotal for spintronics but remains challenging to achieve in low-dimensional materials. Using first-principles calculations, we theoretically propose an experimentally feasible two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (MOF) magnetic semiconductor, Cr(TCNB) (TCNB = 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene). This monolayer can be exfoliated from a Ag(100) substrate due to its low exfoliation energy of 0.

Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) is one of the most investigated Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) for being the strongest compound to eliminate and having adverse health concerns. In this work, we have conducted the sonochemical treatment of PFOS simulated water under high (500 kHz) and low (22 kHz) frequencies while monitoring the operational parameters via an integrated sonochemical system. The integrated advanced sonochemical system includes software to monitor treatment power, solution temperature and frequency while allowing distinctive control of the reaction conditions.

The magnetic behavior of endohedrally transition-metal-doped tetrel clusters SnTM (TM = Cr, Mn, Fe) was investigated using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Based on an improved experimental setup, the magnetic deflection was measured over a wide temperature range of = 16-240 K. From a Curie analysis of the experimentally observed single-sided shift at high nozzle temperatures, the spin multiplicities and -factors were determined.

Phenothiazine-based photosensitizers bear the intrinsic potential to substitute various expensive organometallic dyes owing to the strong electron-donating nature of the former. If coupled with a strong acceptor unit and the length of N-alkyl chain is appropriately chosen, they can easily produce high efficiency levels in dye-sensitized solar cells. Here, three novel D-A dyes containing 1H-tetrazole-5-acrylic acid as an acceptor were synthesized by varying the N-alkyl chain length at its phenothiazine core and were exploited in dye-sensitized solar cells.
