The functional gas sensor device plays a pivotal role in intelligent medical treatment, among which metal oxide semiconductors are widely studied because of their inexpensiveness and ease of fabrication. However, the metal oxide sensors present a significant challenge in detecting NH at ppm levels within complex exhaled gases. Herein, the ZnO/PdO- series were prepared by in situ loading palladium particles and calcining using nano-ZIF-8 as a precursor, which not only provided more transport path for ammonia adsorption but also achieved homogeneous nanoheterojunction accumulation structure. The tailor-made ZnO/PdO-2 sensor exhibits the optimum gas sensitivity, with a response value of 5.56 for 100 ppm of NH at 160 °C and a lower detection limit of 0.75 ppm. Particularly, it has a clear quantitative response to the actual exhaled gas of liver and kidney patients. By elucidating the intrinsic link between the in situ loading of MOF templates and the sensing mechanism, it is expected to broaden the rational design of metal-oxide sensors and thus provide an effective method for clinical detection.

Point of Care (POC) diagnosis provides an effective approach for controlling and managing Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). Electrochemical biosensors are well-suited for molecular diagnostics due to their high sensitivity, cost-effectiveness, and ease of integration into POC devices. Schistosomiasis is a prominent NTD highly prevalent in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with significant socioeconomic implications such as discrimination, reduced work capacity, or mortality, perpetuating the cycle of poverty in affected regions worldwide.

Purpose Of Review: The exposome refers to the total environmental exposures a person encounters throughout life, and its relationship with human health is increasingly studied. This non-systematic review focuses on recent research investigating the effects of environmental factors-such as air pollution, noise, greenspace, neighborhood walkability, and metallic pollutants-on atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular disease.
Recent Findings: Studies show that long-term exposure to airborne particulate matter can impair endothelial function and elevate adhesion molecule levels, leading to vascular damage.

In this study, an efficient membrane composed of polysulfone and graphene oxide was developed and evaluated for its efficacy in chromium adsorption. Characterization of the synthesized membrane involved comprehensive analyses including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to assess its structural properties. Subsequently, the membrane's performance in removing chromium from aqueous solutions was scrutinized, considering key operational parameters.

The side reactions accompanying the charging and discharging process, as well as the difficulty in decomposing the discharge product lithium peroxide, have been important issues in the research field of lithium-oxygen batteries for a long time. Here, single atom Ta supported by CoO hollow sphere was designed and synthesized as a cathode catalyst. The single atom Ta forms an electron transport channel through the Ta-O-Co structure to stabilize octahedral Co sites, forming strong adsorption with reaction intermediates and ultimately forming a film-like lithium peroxide that is highly dispersed.

A novel class of bis-8-aryl-isoquinoline () bis-alkylamine iron complexes, Fe()(OTf) and Fe()(OTf) ( = dipyrrolidinyl or = ,'-dimethylcyclohexyl-diamine), for asymmetric oxidation reactions is reported. The scalable divergent synthesis of 8-aryl-3-formylisoquinolines (), the key intermediates in preparing these ligands, enables precise structural and electronic tuning around the metal center. The enantioselective epoxidation and hydroxy carbonylation of conjugated alkenes, mediated by the Fe() catalyst with HO as the oxidant, demonstrates the potential of these redox Fe[N] catalysts in inducing face selection in oxygen transfer transformations.
