Improper dye disposal pollutes the environment and endangers living species, underlining the need for more effective pollution detection systems. Therefore, the current study is focused on developing reliable methods for monitoring and controlling dye release in water using lead ferrite nanoparticles (PbFeO-NPs) as the most efficient iron-based material. In the current study, PbFeO-NPs were synthesized by a sol-gel method and characterized by advanced analytical techniques. The obtained finding revealed that the PbFeO-NPs possess a hexagonal structure with a negative surface charged smooth surface. They have an average particle size of 13.8 nm. The photocatalytic activity of PbFeO-NPs for the degradation of rhodamine 6G (RG) dye was evaluated under optimized conditions using UV-visible spectroscopy. The PbFeO-NPs-based developed method showed a degradation efficiency greater than 95% with LOD and LOQ of 0.0043 and 0.014 mg L, respectively. Moreover, the PbFeO-NPs as nano-catalysts showed active reusability and ease of separability due to their magnetic nature. The PbFeO-NP-based developed method was applied to real water samples and the RG degradation was found to be greater than 90% with an RSD of less than 3.0%.

Hemin was immobilized on chitosan flakes using the conventional ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide system to produce hemin-bound chitosan (HC) flakes. The HC flakes demonstrated oxidation ability in the presence of HO, similar to hemin, but with improved photostability and reusability caused by immobilization on chitosan flakes. While the HC flakes did not adsorb cationic dyes such as Methylene blue and Rhodamine B, they effectively adsorbed anionic dyes such as eosin Y and Congo red, while hemin did not adsorb either of these two dyes.

A novel adsorbent is prepared from waste cotton fiber by a simple pyrolysis-activation process, and it can efficiently adsorb many kinds of organic pollutants (cationic/anionic dyes and antibiotics etc.). The obtained cotton-based activated carbon (CAC) with large specific surface area (3709 m g) and suitable pore structure provide abundant active sites and fast channels for the adsorption of pollutant molecules.

Raman spectroscopy has demonstrated significant potential in molecular detection, analysis, and identification, particularly when it adopts single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SM-SERS) substrates. A recent SM-SERS scheme incorporates two-fold Raman enhancement mechanisms: the electromagnetic enhancement enabled by a plasmonic nanogap hotspot formed from gold sphere nanoparticles sitting on a gold mirror and the chemical enhancement enabled by a two-dimensional material, WS, inserted into the nanogap. In this work we integrate multiple advanced concepts and techniques to achieve remarkable performance improvements of SM-SERS.

We report the first observation of triplet-singlet resonance energy transfer at room temperature without involving the intersystem crossing process. Triplet (T) to singlet (S) Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been measured at room temperature with a long-wavelength direct donor's triplet-state excitation. The donor coumarin 106 (C106D) and acceptor rhodamine 101 (R101A) were embedded in thin poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films.

A novel approach for synthesizing Titanium Oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using the rotating electrode in arc discharge method was developed by focusing on enhanced photocatalytic activity. Utilizing a rotating electrode as a third electrode in the arc discharge process enables us to synthesize defective titanium oxide, which facilitates the effective decoration with Ag NPs. Silver-decorated Titanium Oxide (Ag/Titanium Oxide) NPs were synthesized via a photoreduction process, improving visible light response through surface plasmon resonance which introduces new energy levels near the conduction band.
