Background And Purpose: Diclofenac (DCF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug possessing analgesic and antipyretic properties. It is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis pain, osteoarthritis, and acute muscle pain conditions and can be administrated orally, topically or intravenously. Because of its widespread use, hydrophilicity, stability and poor degradation (bioaccumulation in the food chain), DCF is an emerging chemical contaminant that can cause adverse effects in the ecosystems. Taking into account the consumption of DCF in pharmaceutical formulations and its negative impact on the environment, the development of new sensitive, selective, cheap, fast, and online capable analytical devices is needed for on-site applications.
Experimental Approach: This brief review attempts to cover the recent developments related to the use of nanomaterials as catalysts for electrochemical determination of DCF in pharmaceutical formulations, biological fluids and environmental samples.
Key Results: The article aims to prove how electrochemical sensors represent reliable alternatives to conventional methods for DCF analysis.
Conclusion: The manuscript highlights the progress in the development of electrochemical sensors for DCF detection. We have analyzed numerous recent papers (mainly since 2019) on sensors developed for the quantitative determination of DCF, indicating the limit of detection, linear range, stability, reproducibility, and analytical applications. Current challenges related to the sensor design and future perspectives are outlined.

Plastic waste (PW) presents a significant environmental challenge due to its persistent accumulation and harmful effects on ecosystems. According to the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), global plastic production in 2024 is estimated to reach approximately 500 million tons. Without effective intervention, most of this plastic is expected to become waste, potentially resulting in billions of tons of accumulated PW by 2060.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating and testing Cobalt-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for degrading the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (CIPF) under visible LED light.
- It was found that 10% Cobalt-doped ZnO nanoparticles were the most effective, achieving over 99% degradation of CIPF in just 90 minutes, and maintained their efficiency across three cycles of use.
- The research also optimized the conditions for maximum degradation efficiency using statistical methods and simulated data using Artificial Neural Networks, achieving a strong correlation for the model’s accuracy.

Developing durable IrO2-based electrocatalysts with high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity under acidic condition is crucial for proton exchange membrane electrolyzers. While oxygen defects are considered potentially important in OER, their direct relationship with catalytic activity has yet to be established. In this study, we introduced abundant oxygen vacancies through Re doping in 2D IrO2 (Re0.

NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) currently are the most efficient catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline environments. However, the development of high-performance low cost OER electrocatalysts using straightforward strategies remains a significant challenge. In this study, we describe an innovative microbial mineralization-based method for in situ-induced preparation of NiFe LDH nanosheets loaded on nickel foam and demonstrate that this material serves as an efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalyst.
