AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores a new way to create a titanium dioxide (TiO) electrode on graphene foam (GF) at low temperatures, which avoids the need for complicated heating processes.
- The titanium dioxide films created through a quick 10-minute electrodeposition show significantly higher photocurrent (170 μA cm) compared to traditional carbon electrode methods (82 μA cm).
- This increased photocurrent density makes the TiO-10/GF setup particularly suitable for portable, low-power photoelectrochemical biosensors.
Article Abstract
We discuss the photoelectroanalytical performance of a brookite-phase titanium dioxide (TiO) platform electrodeposited onto graphene foam (GF) at low temperatures. The scalable electrosynthesis process eliminates the need for thermal annealing, which is impractical for carbon-based electrodes. Films resulting from a 10 min electrodeposition (TiO-10/GF) exhibit enhanced photocurrents, reaching 170 μA cm -twice the value for TiO films on traditional screen-printed carbon electrodes (82 μA cm ). The increased photocurrent density makes TiO-10/GF ideal for on-site photoelectrochemical biosensors as it allows for the use of compact systems with low-power LEDs.

Effective wound management and treatment are crucial in clinical practice, yet existing strategies often fall short in fully addressing the complexities of skin wound healing. Recent advancements in tissue engineering have introduced innovative approaches, particularly through the use of nanobiomaterials, to enhance the healing process. In this context, titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) have garnered attention due to their excellent biological properties, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

The separation of oil from microalgae aqueous emulsions is a critical step in producing algal-derived biofuels and nutraceuticals. This study presents the development of super hydrophilic and super oleophobic composite membranes to efficiently separate algal oil from oil/water emulsions. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were functionalized with polydopamine (PDA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and titanium dioxide (TiO) nanoparticles and coated onto a mixed cellulose ester (MCE) substrate to fabricate the composite membranes.

The aggregation state of nano-TiO in the environment is altered under marine heatwaves (MHWs), thus affecting its bioavailability and toxicity to the marine organisms. Here, we investigated the toxic mechanisms and effects of nano-TiO on gut-hepatopancreas axis health of Mytilus coruscus exposed to 25 and 250 μg/L of nano-TiO under laboratory-simulated MHW. Compared with the control conditions or post-MHW cooling phase, prolonged MHW exposure significantly inhibited digestive function, decreased immune-related enzymes activities, and caused neurotoxicity in the mussels.
