The indirect emission had a negative influence on the ecosystem of enormous amounts of harmful dyes into water. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successfully fabricated to capture Gentine violet (GV)) as a model example of cationic dye from their aqueous solutions was evaluated in this search as a method to eliminate dyes from water contaminants. FTIR, XPS, BET, TGA, SEM, TEM, and XRD have all been used to study this adsorbent in order to determine its structural and chemical characteristics as well as to interpret its binding mechanisms. According to the results of the characterization, the synthesized composite had a size about 45 nm, a surface area of 856.06 m2/g, and considerable magnetic characteristics (66.2 emug-1). Consequently, we created mesoporous surfaces that had a strong ability to interface and absorb GV dye. It is possible to use the pseudo-second order rate equation to characterize the kinetic profile., while the Langmuir equation fits isotherm models. At pH 9, maximum sorption capacities can reach 1.68 mmol.g-1. Additionally, the investigations of temperature profiles indicated the endothermic process and Thermodynamic parameters were discovered as, ΔG°, ΔH° and ΔS° The synthesized adsorbent had an interestingly high reusability of > 92 percent up to the sixth cycle. These findings revealed that a mixture of electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and pore filling were involved in the GV adsorption mechanism. Fe3O4@Ag-MOF was successful in demonstrating its effectiveness as a point-of-use colour collection candidate from actual dyeing effluents.

These derivatives displayed superior binding affinities and various interaction mechanisms with the target protein, suggesting that they have great promise as lead compounds for future development into therapeutic medicines.

Synthesis, characterization and adsorption optimization of bimetallic La-Zn metal organic framework for removal of 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid

To eliminate the hazardous pesticide 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid (2,4-D) through aqueous solutions, stacked nanorods known as hetero bimetallic organic frameworks (MOFs) of 2-methyl imidazole based on lanthanum and zinc are created. The research's convincing discoveries displayed that La/Zn-MOF is an actual adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-D through aqueous solutions. The La/Zn-MOF was investigated using a variability of techniques, with scanning electron microscope (SEM), powered X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) investigation. La/Zn-MOF has a significant pore capacity of 1.04 cm³/g and a comparatively large surface area of 897.69 m2/g. Our findings, which are quite intriguing, demonstrate that adsorption behavior is pointedly wedged by variations in pH. A pH 6 dose of 0.02 g was shown to be the optimal setting for the greatest capacity for adsorption. Because adsorption is an endothermic process, temperature variations affect its capability. The adsorption method was fit both isothermally and kinetically using the Langmuir isotherm classical. It was created that the entire process made use of a chemisorption mechanism. Solution pH, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and time were all improved using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) and Response Surface Methodology (RSM). We were able to accurately calculate the values of ΔHo, ΔSo, and ΔGo for 2,4-D by following the guidelines. These results demonstrated the spontaneous and endothermic character of the adsorption procedure employing La/Zn-MOF as an adsorbent. Adsorption-desorption cycles can be carried out up to five times. With the synthesized La/Zn-MOF adsorbent due to its exceptional reusability. Many processes, such π-π interaction, pore filling, H-bonding, or electrostatic contact, were postulated to explain the connection between La/Zn-MOF and 2,4-D after extra research to appreciate well the link was conducted. This is the first study to demonstrate the effectiveness of utilizing La/Zn-MOF as an adsorbent to eliminate 2,4-D from wastewater models. The results display that a pH of 6 is required to achieve the maximal 2,4-D adsorption capability on La/Zn-MOF, which is 307.5 mg/g.

Novel Deliberately Sensitive and Selective Tetrahydrozoline Voltammetric Sensors Integrated with a Copper Oxide Nanoparticle/Zeolite Platform

The present study introduced a novel disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) modified with copper oxide/zeolite nanostructures for eco-friendly selective differential pulse voltammetric quantification of tetrahydrozoline (THZ) in eyedrop samples and biological fluids. Modification of the electrode matrix with copper oxide nanoparticles/zeolite nanostructures (CuONPs/ZY) with their effective and synergistic electrocatalytic activity enhanced the electrode performance against electrooxidation of THZ at 0.960 V in BR at pH 9.0 with a diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism. The tentative oxidation mechanism based on molecular orbital calculations postulates the oxidation of THZ molecules through oxidation of a nitrogen atom five-membered ring and the participation of two electrons/protons in the electrode reaction. Linear calibration curves were illustrated within a wide THZ concentration range from 0.24 to 57.2 μg mL-1 recording a limit of detection (LOD) value of 0.0799 μg mL-1. The CuONPs/ZY/SPEs exhibited improved performance compared with the sole reported THZ sensor-based gold film-plated carbon paste electrodes, in addition to their high reproducibility of fabrication and measurement and prolonged shelf lifetime. Tetrahydrozoline was successfully assayed in the presence of excipients, degradation products, and chloramphenicol. The presented voltammetric sensor can be considered as an eco-friendly and reliable analytical approach for monitoring THZ residues in eye drop samples and biological fluids with high recovery compared with the official pharmacopeial analytical protocol. The presented sensors were assessed according to an EcoScale tool and also compared with the reported THZ sensor.

Development of photoluminescent viscose fibers integrated with polymer containing lanthanide-doped phosphor

Smart clothing refers to textiles that can sense an external stimulus by changing their physical properties such as colorimetric and fluorescent fabrics. The pad-dry-curing coloration approach was used to apply a luminous and hydrophobic composite coating onto cellulose-based materials. This novel method includes incorporating phosphor nanoparticles made from lanthanide-doped strontium aluminum oxide (LSAO) into room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber (RTV). The LSAO nano-sized particles (3-8 nm) must be mixed evenly throughout RTV without aggregation to allow for the formation of a colorless layer onto viscose surface. Pad-dry-curing the film onto viscose cloth worked well at room temperature. The contact angles of the luminous fibers enhanced from 138.6° to 158.2° as the LSAO ratio increased. The antimicrobial and ultraviolet (UV) protection of the LSAO-finished viscose were investigated. The transparent fluorescent film on viscose surface was excited at 367 nm to display an emission peak at 518 nm. According to CIE Lab coordinates and luminescence analyses, the fluorescent viscose fibers showed various colors, including white under visible light, intense green beneath UV device, and greenish-yellow under darkness. The comfort properties of the LSAO-finished viscose were assessed by measuring their bend length and permeability to air. Transmission electron microscopic analysis of LSAO nanoparticles was explored. Energy dispersive x-ray, x-ray fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to describe the spectroscopic outcomes of the treated textiles. The colorfastness of the LSAO-finished viscose fabrics was examined. The coated fabrics exhibited a non-fatigable reversible luminous photochromism in response to UV illumination. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Multifunctional LSAO@RTV nanocomposite was pad-dry-cured onto viscose textile. Photochromism to green under UV light and greenish-yellow in the dark was detected. Efficient antimicrobial, UV protective, and superhydrophobic activity were observed. The antimicrobial properties were maintained for 24 washing cycles. Pad-dry-cured viscose showed good comfortability and photostability.

Tailoring magnetic Sn-MOFs for efficient amoxicillin antibiotic removal through process optimization

This study investigated the efficacy of magnetic Sn metal-organic frameworks (MSn-MOFs) in removing the insecticide amoxicillin (AMX) from aqueous solutions. Our thorough experimental investigation showed that MSn-MOFs were an incredibly effective adsorbent for removing AMX. Several methods were used to characterize the material. BET investigation of the data displayed a significant surface area of 880 m2 g-1 and a strong magnetic force of 89.26 emu g-1. To identify the point of zero charge, surface characterization was carried out and the value was 7.5. This shows that the adsorbent carries a positive and negative charge below and above this position, respectively. Moreover, the impact of pH on adsorption equilibrium was explored. The results of kinetic models to explore the adsorption of AMX on MSn-MOFs supported the pseudo-second-order, and the adsorption complied well with the Langmuir isotherm. The results revealed that the overall adsorption mechanism may entail chemisorption via an endothermic spontaneous process with MSn-MOFs. The precise modes by which MSn-MOFs and AMX interacted may involve pore filling, H-bonding, π-π interaction, or electrostatic interaction. Determining the nature of this interaction is essential in understanding the adsorption behavior of the MOFs and optimize the adsorbent design for real-world applications. The use of the MSn-MOF adsorbent provides a straightforward yet efficient method for the filtration of water and treatment of industrial effluents. The results showed 2.75 mmol g-1 as the maximum capacity for adsorption at pH = 6. Additional tests were conducted to assess the adsorbent regeneration, and even after more than six cycles, the results demonstrated a high level of efficiency. The adsorption results were enhanced by the application of the Box-Behnken design.

Facile synthesis of new metal-organic framework/chitosan composite sponge for Hg(II) removal: Characterization, adsorption efficiency, and optimization using Box-Behnken design

The objective of this research was to develop a novel adsorbent to eliminate mercury (Hg(II)) from water. A unique citrate-crosslinked La-MOF/citrate crosslinked chitosan composite sponge (La-MOF@CSC composite sponge) was successfully synthesized in an acidic environment using a one-step technique. Modifying the composition of adsorbent materials is a commonly employed strategy to enhance adsorption capacity, particularly for materials composed of metal-organic frameworks. The study investigated the impact of the composite sponge on the adsorption and removal of Hg(II). The composite sponge exhibited a maximum adsorption capacity (qmax) for Hg(II) at 765.22 mg/g and an impressive high surface area of 1208 m2/g. Various factors influencing the adsorption capacity were taken into account in this study. The adsorption isotherm and kinetics were modeled using Langmuir and pseudo-second-order equations, respectively. Consistent with thermodynamics, the adsorption process was identified as spontaneous and endothermic. The quantities of adsorbed substances increased with rising temperature. The La-MOF@CSC composite sponge demonstrated the ability to be reused up to five times with satisfactory efficiency, retaining its chemical composition and exhibiting similar XRD and XPS data before and after each reuse. The interaction between heavy metals and the La-MOF/CSC composite sponge was examined. Optimization of the adsorption outcomes was conducted using the Box-Behnken design (BBD).

Preparation of Self-Healing Anthocyanidin-Containing Thermochromic Alginate Ink for Authentication Purposes

Thermochromic inks have proven to be a promising security encoding approach for making commercially available products less susceptible to forgery. However, thermochromic inks have been plagued with poor durability. Thus, self-healable hydrogels can be used as self-repair inks with better durability. Herein, we combined hybrid cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and sodium alginate (SA) with anthocyanidin(Cy)-based Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata extract in the existence of mordant (ferrous sulfate) to create a self-healing ink for authentication. CNFs were used as a reinforcement agent to enhance the mechanical strength of the sodium alginate hydrogel. Both durability and thermal stability were ensured using self-healing inks. Red cabbage was used to extract Cy-based chromophore as an environmentally friendly spectroscopic probe for immobilization into SA. Using varying concentrations of anthocyanidin, self-healable composite hydrogels (Cy@SA) with thermochromic properties were provided. Using the CIE Lab color coordinate system, homogeneous purple (569 nm) films were printed onto a sheet surface. Upon heating from 25 to 70 °C, the purple color changed to red (433 nm). Transmission electron microscopy was applied to study anthocyanidin/mordant (Cy/M) nanoparticles (NPs). The properties of the applied prints were analyzed using several methods. Both the hydrogel and stamped sheets were tested for their mechanical and rheological characteristics, respectively. Research on the nanocomposite ink (Cy@SA) antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity was also conducted.

Electrospun glass nanofibers to strengthen polycarbonate plastic glass toward photoluminescent smart materials

Electrospun glass nanofibers (GNFs) were used to strengthen polycarbonate (PC) to create long-persistent photoluminescent and fluorescent smart materials such as afterglow concrete and smart window. Physical integration of lanthanide-activated aluminate (LA) nanoparticles (NPs) yielded transparent GNFs@PC smart sheets. Spectral investigations utilizing photoluminescence and CIE Lab parameters were performed to confirm that the translucent appearance of GNFs@PC changed to green when exposed to UV light. This fluorescence activity was quickly reversible for the GNFs@PC hybrids with low concentrations of LANPs, which indicate fluorescence emission. Higher phosphor concentrations in GNFs@PC led to longer-lasting afterglow photoluminescence and slower reversibility. The GNFs@PC hybrids showed an emission band detected at 518 nm upon excitation at 368 nm. The morphological characteristics of LANPs and GNFs were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which revealed sizes of 11-26 nm and 250-300 nm, respectively. GNFs were prepared using electrospinning technology and then used as a roughening agent into PC sheets. Morphological characteristics of GNFs and GNFs@PC smart sheets were examined using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXA), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The GNFs@PC smart sheets were shown to have enhanced scratch resistance in comparison to LANPs-free PC control sample. Increases in LANPs concentration enhanced both hydrophobicity and UV protection.

Efficient Removal of Deltamethrin from Aqueous Solutions Using a Novel Lanthanum Metal-Organic Framework: Adsorption Models and Optimization via Box-Behnken Design

Eliminating pesticides is essential for lowering the dangers to our environment. To do this effectively, it is crucial to find adsorbents with remarkable adsorption capacities, easy retrieval, and separation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been extensively recognized for their exceptional ability to absorb pollutants. Therefore, we used novel lanthanum metal-organic frameworks (La-MOFs) to eliminate deltamethrin (DEL) from aqueous solutions. We proved through experimentation that the La-MOF is an efficient adsorbent for DEL from water. A study of the material revealed that the adsorbent had a surface area of 952.96 m2 per gram and a pore volume of 1.038 cm3/g. These outcomes show how this substance can absorb particles. Utilizing kinetic models and conforming to the pseudo-second-order model, a thorough analysis of the efficiency of DEL adsorption onto La-MOF was conducted. To create a perfectly tailored approach, we utilized many parameters. The synthetic La-MOF adsorbent may undergo up to five steps of adsorption-desorption and has exceptional cyclability and reusability. To confirm purifying wastewater samples in the laboratory, the presentation of the established adsorbent was evaluated. For the management of industrial effluent and water filtration, the La-MOF adsorbent offered a simple and effective solution. Our investigation suggests that the method we describe for removing DEL from wastewater samples using the La-MOF adsorbent is unique.

Application of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Efficient Removal of Doxorubicin Hydrochloride: Removal Process Optimization and Biological Activity

This study looked at the doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) anticancer drug's adsorption characteristics on a silver-based metal-organic framework (Ag-MOF). X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used for the characterization of Ag-MOF. The pore volume and surface area of Ag-MOF were determined through Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) testing at 77 K to be 0.509 cm3/g and 676.059 m2/g, respectively. Adsorption at pH 6 was established to be the best for DOX compared to alkaline solution. Ag-MOF has a good capacity for eliminating DOX (1.85 mmol/g), according to adsorption experiments. From the adsorption results, we can find that Langmuir is the most fitted adsorption isotherm model and the pseudo-second order model best fitted the adsorption kinetics. The energy of activation for adsorption, which was determined to be 15.23 kJ/mol, also supported a chemisorption process. The mechanism of adsorption was evaluated, and details of all possible interactions between DOX and Ag-MOF were illustrated. On the other hand, while examining the impact of temperature, we identified the thermodynamic constraints as ΔG°, ΔH°, and ΔS° and confirmed that the reaction was an endothermic one and spontaneous. Even after numerous reuse cycles, the efficiency remained constant. The synthetic adsorbent was remarkably recyclable at a rate of more than 91.6%. By using the MTT assay, the cytotoxicity of the tested Ag-MOF and DOX@Ag-MOF against human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) was evaluated in vitro. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Ag-MOF and DOX@Ag-MOF was also tested.

Novel Iron Oxide Nanoparticle-Fortified Carbon Paste Electrode for the Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Atomoxetine

Herein, the fabrication and full characterization of a novel atomoxetine (ATX) voltammetric carbon paste electrode (CPE) fortified with iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) is demonstrated. Modification of the carbon paste matrix with the metallic oxide nanostructure provides proper electrocatalytic activity against the oxidation of ATX molecules at the carbon paste surface, resulting in a noticeable improvement in the performance of the sensor. At the recommended pH value, ATX recorded an irreversible anodic peak at 1.17 V, following a diffusion-controlled reaction mechanism. Differential pulse voltammograms exhibited peak heights linearly correlated to the ATX content within a wide concentration range from 45 to 8680 ng mL^-1, with the limit of detection reaching 11.55 ng mL^-1. The electrooxidation mechanism of the ATX molecule was proposed to be the oxidation of the terminal amino group accompanied by the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The fabricated FeONPs/CPE sensors exhibited enhanced selectivity and sensitivity and therefore can be introduced for voltammetric assaying of atomoxetine-indifferent pharmaceutical and biological samples in the presence of its degradation products and metabolites.

Multifunctional Lipophobic Polymer Dots from Cyclodextrin: Antimicrobial/Anticancer Laborers and Silver Ions Chemo-Sensor

β-Cyclodextrin (CD) is currently exploited for the implantation of lipophobic polymer dots (PDs) for antimicrobial and anticancer laborers. Moreover, the PDs were investigated to act as a chemo-sensor for metal detection. The data revealed that under basic conditions, photoluminescent PDs (5.1 nm) were successively clustered with a controllable size at 190 °C, whereas under acidic conditions, smaller-sized non-photoluminescent carbon nanoparticles (2.9 nm) were obtained. The fluorescence intensity of synthesized PDs under basic conditions was affected by pH, and such an intensity was significantly higher compared to that prepared under acidic conditions. The PDs were exploited as florescent detectors in estimation of Ag⁺ ions in aquatic streams. Treatment of Ag⁺ ion colloids with PDs resulted in fluorescence quenching attributing to the production of AgNPs that approved by spectral studies. The cell viability percent was estimated for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans after incubation with PDs implanted under basic conditions for 24 h. The cell mortality percent was estimated for breast cancer (MCF-7) after incubation with different concentrations of PDs that were implanted under acidic versus basic conditions to show that treatment of the tested cells with 1000 μg/mL PDs prepared under basic (IC50 232.5 μg/mL) and acidic (IC₅₀ 88.6 μg/mL) conditions resulted in cell mortality percentages of 70 and 90%, respectively.

Green preparation of electrically conductive solution blow spun nanofibers from recycled polyethylene terephthalate via plasma-assisted oxidation-reduction

Simple and green strategy was described for the development of multifunctional polyester nanofibers (PNFs). Solution blow spinning (SBS) technology was applied to in situ immobilize nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANi) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into plasma-treated polyester nanoscaled fibers prepared. The polyester nanofibers were prepared from recycled polyethylene terephthalate waste, which was exposed plasma-curing and a REDOX reaction in the presence of AgNO₃, aniline, and CH₃COONH₄. Plasma-catalyzed oxidative polymerization of aniline to polyaniline together with a reductive process of Ag⁺ to silver nanoparticles led to their enduring insoluble dispersion into the surface of polyester nanofibers. By taking the advantage of the PANi oxidation, AgNPs were precipitated from an aqueous medium of AgNPs. The morphological properties were investigated by various analytical techniques. The polyester fiber diameter was determined in the range of 450-650 nm. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to examine AgNPs, demonstrating diameters of 4-20 nm. The plasma-uncured AgNPs/PANi immobilized nanofibrous film displayed weak absorption bands at 399 nm and 403 nm upon increasing the concentration of AgNPs. On the other hand, the plasma-cured AgNPs/PANi immobilized nanofibers displayed strong absorption bands at 526 nm and 568 nm upon increasing the concentration of AgNPs. The AgNP-induced antimicrobial performance and the PANi-induced electrically conductivity were explored. The prepared PNFs showed high UV protection.

Cu(I)-catalyzed Synthesis of Symmetrical Perfluoroterphenyl Analogues; Fluorescence, Antioxidant and Molecular Docking studies

Pentafluoroaryl analogues have been found to exhibit para specific nucleophilic aromatic substitution (S_N Ar). Herein, we describe the use of S_N Ar chemistry to create luminous perfluorinated symmetrical terphenyls. Both of S_N Ar chemistry and Cu(I)-catalyzed decarboxylative cross-coupling were applied for the synthesis of those perfluorinated symmetrical terphenyls in high yields from the corresponding derivatives of aryl iodide and potassium salt of fluorobenzoate. A series of perfluorinated symmetrical terphenyls with different para alkoxy chains were synthesized. The synthesized perfluorinated terphenyl adducts were confirmed via elemental analysis, FT-IR, ¹ H/¹³ C NMR, and ¹⁹ F NMR spectra. The absorbance and fluorescence spectra showed solvatochromic activities. The new synthesized fluoroterphenyl hybrids were screened against antioxidant inspection over DPPH performance, in assessment to Vitamin C and BHT as standard drugs exposed that fluoroterphenyl hybrid covering decyl hydrocarbons exhibited highest effectiveness through IC₅₀ values 21.74 μg/mL. Additionally, molecular docking procedures of the synthesized fluoro-terphenyl hybrids were employed by using (PDB ID: 5IKQ) protein. The docking simulation was displayed convenient and recognized findings with the antioxidant examination.

Preparation of green colorimetric pH sensor using Humulus lupulus L. (common hop) biomolecular extract for sweat monitoring

Novel smart cotton diagnostic assay was developed toward onsite sensing of sweat pH variations for possible medical applications such as drug test and healthcare purposes. Humulus lupulus L. extract was obtained according to previously reported procedure. As reported by HPLC, the extract demonstrated the presence of hop acids, prenylchalcones, and prenylflavanones, which is responsible for the colorimetric changes. The extract was applied to cellulose fibers employing potassium aluminum sulfate as mordant. This was observed by the formation of mordant/xanthohumol nanoparticles onto cotton surface. The absorption spectra and CIE Lab (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage) screening of the prepared cotton assay showed colorimetric changes in association with hypsochromic shift from 600 nm to 433 nm upon exposure to sweat simulant fluid (pH < 7). The biochromic activity of the xanthohumol-finished cotton depends mainly on the halochromic performance of the xanthohumol chromophore to show a colorimetric switch from yellow to white owing to intramolecular charge transfer in the xanthohumol molecule. No substantial defects were detected in gas-permeability and stiffness of the treated fabrics. Satisfactory fastness was approved for the xanthohumol-dyed diagnostic cotton assay.

Chromoionophoric Probe-anchored Mesoporous Silica Nanospheres for Rapid and Reliable Naked-eye Detection of Ni(II) Ions in Petroleum Products and Removal from Electroplating Wastewater

This paper presents the expansion of an optical, chemical sensor that can rapidly and reliably detect, quantify, and remove Ni(II) ions in oil products and electroplating wastewater sources. The sensor is based on mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) that have an extraordinary surface area, uniform surface morphology, and capacious porosity, making them an excellent substrate for the anchoring of the chromoionophoic probe,3'-{(1E,1'E)-[(4-chloro-1,2 phenylene)bis (azaneylylidene)]-bis(methaneylylidene)}bis(2-hydroxybenzoic acid) (CPAMHP). The CPAMHP probe is highly selective and sensitive to Ni(II), enabling it to be used in naked-eye colorimetric recognition of Ni(II) ions. The MSNs provide several accessible exhibited sites for uniform anchoring of CPAMHP probe molecules, making it a viable chemical sensor even with the use of naked-eye sensing. The surface characters and structural analysis of the MSNs and CPAMHP sensor samples were examined using various techniques. The CPAMHP probe-anchored MSNs exhibit a clear and vivid color shift from pale yellow to green upon exposure to various concentrations of Ni(II) ions, with a reaction time down to approximately one minute. Furthermore, the MSNs can serve as a base to retrieve extremely trace amounts of Ni(II) ions, making the CPAMHP sensor a dual-functional device. The calculated limit of recognition for Ni(II) ions using the fabricated CPAMHP sensor samples is 0.318 ppb (5.43 x 10^-9 M). The results suggest that the proposed sensor is a promising tool for the sensitive and reliable detection of Ni(II) ions in petroleum products and for removing Ni(II) ions in electroplating wastewater; the data indicate an excellent removal of Ni (II) up to 96.8%, highlighting the high accuracy and precision of our CPAMHP sensor.

Superficial and Inkjet Scalable Printed Sensors Integrated with Iron Oxide and Reduced Graphene Oxide for Sensitive Voltammetric Determination of Lurasidone

The present work demonstrated the fabrication and the electrochemical characterization of novel printed electrochemical sensors integrated with an innovative nanosensing platform based on the synergic electrocatalytic effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for precise voltammetric determination of the antipsychotic drug lurasidone hydrochloride (LUH). The features of the electrode surface fabricated using the ordinary inkjet printer were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Among different ink formulations, integration of the printing ink with the ratio 15 mg FeONPs and 20 mg rGO was found to be the most appropriate for sensitive quantification of LUH in biological fluids and pharmaceutical formulations in the presence of LUH degradation products. Under the optimized experimental and electroanalytical parameters, the recorded square-wave voltammograms were correlated to LUH within the linear concentration ranging from 50 to 2150 ng mL^-1 with detection limit and limit of quantification values of 15.64 and 47.39 ng mL^-1, respectively. Based on the cyclic voltammograms recorded for LUH at different scan rates, the electrode reaction was assumed to be a diffusion reaction mechanism accompanied by the transfer of two electrons/protons through the oxidation of the five-membered ring nitrogen atom as assumed by the molecular orbital calculations carried out on the LUH molecule. The C _max of LUH and the efficiency of the fabricated sensors enabled their clinical application for monitoring LUH in human biological fluids and pharmaceutical formulations in the presence of degradants for diverse quality control applications and green chemistry analysis.

Preparation of novel authentication film by screen-printing of anthocyanin biomolecular extract: Thermochromism and vapochromism

Novel thermochromic and vapochromic paper substrates were prepared via screen-printing with anthocyanin extract in the presence of ferrous sulphate mordant, resulting in multi-stimuli responsive colorimetric paper sheets. Environmentally-friendly anthocyanin extract was obtained from red-cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) to function as spectroscopic probe in coordination with ferrous sulphate mordant. Pink anthocyanin/resin nanocomposite films immobilized onto paper surface were developed by well-dispersion of anthocyanin extract as a colorimetric probe in a binding agent without agglomeration. As demonstrated by CIE colorimetric studies, the pink (λ_max = 418 nm) film deposited onto paper surface turns greenish-yellow (λ_max = 552 nm) upon heating from 25 °C to 75 °C, demonstrating new thermochromic film for anticounterfeiting applications. The thermochromic effects were investigated at different concentrations of the anthocyanin extract. Upon exposure to NH_3(g) , the color of the anthocyanin-printed sheets changes rapidly from pink to greenish-yellow, and then immediately returns to pink after taking the gaseous ammonia stimulus away, demonstrating vapochromic effect. The current sensor strip showed a detection limit for NH_3(aq) in the range of 50-300 ppm. Both thermochromism and vapochromism showed high reversibility without fatigue. In addition to studying the rheological properties of the prepared composites, the morphological and mechanical properties of the printed cellulose substrates were also studied.

Preparation of carbon dots-embedded fluorescent carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel for anticounterfeiting applications

Fluorescent inks have been emerged as a desirable encoding technique to enhance anticounterfeiting printing of commercial goods. However, significant drawbacks with fluorescent inks, such as poor durability, low efficiency, and high cost. Herein, we describe the preparation of a self-healing authentication ink based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel immobilized with nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCD) nanoparticles (NPs) for cutting-edge anticounterfeiting applications. Security inks that self-heal are very durable. Under ambient conditions, the prepared NCD@CMC hydrogel could self-heal with a high healing efficiency. It might stick to diverse surfaces such as plastic, glass and paper sheets. The self-healing composite ink demonstrated outstanding photostability under UV light. Straightforward and environmentally friendly method was applied on the agricultural waste of rice straw toward the production of NCD using hydrothermal carbonization in an aqueous medium, and in the presence of NH₄OH as an inexpensive passivating agent. The quantum yield (QY) for NCD reached 24.09 %. Various concentrations of NCD NPs were employed to produce self-healable nanocomposite inks with a variety of emission properties. Stamping homogeneous films onto paper surfaces produced a transparent layer. The CIE Lab and emission spectra of prints independently verified the capability of NCD nanocomposite inks to vary their color to blue under UV illumination. To measure the particle diameter of the prepared NCD, their morphological characteristics were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to indicate diameters of 10-25 nm. Utilizing various analytical techniques, the morphology and chemical composition of the fluorescent prints were examined. We examined the mechanical qualities of the stamped papers as well as the rheological characteristics of the ink hydrogel. Due to their colorless appearance, the excitation band of the printed films was peaked at 364 nm, while their emission was peaked at 465 nm. The current smart ink holds high potential for numerous applications like smart packaging and authentication, and shows great promise as a practical and mass production approach for easily creating anticounterfeiting stamps.

Magnetic sodium alginate grafted with waste carbonaceous material for diclofenac sodium removal: optimization of operational parameters and process mechanism

As their manufacturing and consumption have increased, pharmaceutical chemicals have increasingly been found in wastewater. It is necessary to look into more effective methods, including adsorption, because current therapies can't completely eliminate these micro contaminants. This investigation aims to assess the diclofenac sodium (DS) adsorption onto an Fe3O4@TAC@SA polymer in a static system. Through Box-Behnken design (BBD), system optimization was carried out, and the ideal conditions - adsorbent mass of 0.01 g and agitation speed of 200 rpm - were chosen. The adsorbent was created utilizing X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), allowing us to gain a comprehensive understanding of its properties. The analysis of the adsorption process revealed that the external mass transference was the primary rate-controlling step, and the Pseudo-Second-Order model demonstrated the best correlation to kinetic experimental results. An endothermic, spontaneous adsorption process took place. The removal capacity was 858 mg g-1, which is a respectable result when compared to other adsorbents that have been utilized in the past to remove DS. Ion exchange, π-π interactions, electrostatic pore filling and hydrogen bonding all play a role in the adsorption of DS on the Fe3O4@TAC@SA polymer. After careful examination of the adsorbent towards a true sample, it was determined to be highly efficient after three regenerative cycles.

Novel Copper Oxide-Integrated Carbon Paste Tirofiban Voltammetric Sensor

The present study introduced the construction and electroanalytical characterization of novel tirofiban (TIR) carbon paste voltammetric sensors integrated with copper oxide nanoparticles. The copper oxide nanostructure remarkably enhanced the oxidation of TIR molecules on the electrode surface with an irreversible anodic oxidation peak at about 1.18 V. The peak current values of the recorded differential pulse voltammograms were correlated to the TIR concentrations within a defined linear range from 0.060 to 7.41 μg mL^-1 with an LOD value of 20.7 ng mL^-1. Based on the electrochemical behavior of TIR at different scan rates and with the aid of the molecular orbital calculations performed on the TIR molecule, the electro-oxidation reaction was postulated to undergo through the oxidation of the five-membered-ring nitrogen atom with the transfer of one electron and one proton. Based on the reported selectivity and sensitivity of the proposed method, TIR was successfully determined in Aggrastat intravenous infusion and biological samples with mean average recoveries agreeable with the UV spectrophotometric method.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Mixed-Ligand Complexes; Density Functional Theory, Hirshfeld, and In Silico Assays Strengthen the Bioactivity Performed In Vitro

N'-Acetyl-2-cyanoacetohydrazide (H₂L¹) and 2-cyano-N-(6-ethoxybenzo thiazol-2-yl) acetamide (HL²) ligands were used to synthesize [Cr(OAc)(H₂L¹)(HL²)]·2(OAc) and [Mn(H₂L¹)(HL²)]·Cl₂·2H₂O as mixed ligand complexes. All new compounds were analyzed by analytical, spectral, and computational techniques to elucidate their chemical formulae. The bidentate nature was suggested for each coordinating ligand via ON donors. The electronic transitions recorded are attributing to ⁴A₂g(F) → ⁴T₂g(F)(υ₂) and ⁴A₂g(F) → ⁴T₁g(F)(υ₃) types in the octahedral Cr(III) complex, while ⁶A₁ → ⁴T₂(G) and ⁶A₁ → ⁴T₁(G) transitions are attributing to the tetrahedral Mn(II) complex. These complexes were optimized by the density functional theory method to verify the bonding mode which was suggested via N(3), O(8), N(9), and N(10) donors from the mixed-ligands. Hirshfeld crystal models were demonstrated for the two ligands to indicate the distance between the functional groups within the two ligands and supporting the exclusion of self-interaction in between. Finally, the biological activity of the two mixed ligand complexes was tested by in silico ways as well as in vitro ways for confirmation. Three advanced programs were applied to measure the magnitude of biological efficiency of the two complexes toward kinase enzyme (3nzs) and breast cancer proliferation (3hy3). All in silico data suggest the superiority of the Mn(II) complex. Moreover, the in vitro assays for the two complexes that measure their antioxidant and cytotoxic activity support the distinguished activity of the Mn(II) complex.

Preparation of Lighting in the Dark and Photochromic Electrospun Glass Nanofiber-Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites Immobilized with Alkaline Earth Aluminates

Alkaline earth aluminates (AEAs) as photoluminescent agents and silicon dioxide-based electrospun glass nanofibers with an average diameter of 150-450 nm as a roughening agent were prepared and applied to reinforce an epoxy resin toward the development of long-persistent photoluminescent and photochromic smart materials, such as smart windows and anticounterfeiting barcodes. With the physical immobilization of lanthanide-doped aluminate nanoparticles (NPs), a light-induced luminescent transparent glass@epoxy film was developed. The glass@epoxy samples were able to alter their color to green beneath ultraviolet rays and greenish-yellow in the dark, as explored by CIE Lab and luminescence spectral analyses. The morphology of the lanthanide-doped aluminate nanoparticles (43-98 nm) was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The morphologies and chemical composition of the luminescent glass@epoxy substrates were determined by different analytical techniques. The mechanical properties of the developed photoluminescent glass@epoxy substrates were inspected to show improved scratch resistance as compared to the AEA-free substrate. The photoluminescence spectra were measured to indicate the detection of two emission bands at 494 and 525 nm when excited at 365 nm. The photoluminescent glass@epoxy hybrids with lower AEA contents have showed fast reversibility of photochromism. On the other hand, the glass@epoxy substrates with higher phosphor contents underwent persistent luminescence. Results showed that the luminescent colorless glass@epoxy hybrids have enhanced superhydrophobicity and ultraviolet blocking.

Temperature-driven colorful switching inks have been an interesting security encoding method to improve the anticounterfeiting properties of commercially available merchandise. Recently, thermochromic inks have faced many disadvantages, such as low efficiency, high cost, and low durability. In the current study, we developed self-healable ink from poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA) integrated with the anthocyanidin(ACY)-based red-cabbage extract in the presence of ferrous sulfate for authentication purposes. Self-healable inks have been able to guarantee durability and thermal stability. Environmentally friendly, ACY-based chromophore was extracted from Brassica oleracea L. var. Capitata (red-cabbage) to serve as a spectroscopic probe immobilized into PAMPSA. The prepared self-healable nanocomposite ink (PAMPSA-ACY) displayed temperature-induced chromism with high reversibility and thermal stability. Different self-healable nanocomposite inks of thermochromic features were prepared employing different ratios of the ACY-based red-cabbage extract. As described by Commission Internationale de L'éclairage Lab coordinates, homogeneous films were stamped on the paper surface to show a purple color (631 nm) able to switch color into red (458 nm) with the increase in temperature from 25 to 65 °C, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray, and scanning electron microscopy were utilized to inspect the morphological behavior and chemical compositions of thermochromic prints. Both mechanical and rheological properties of ink-printed paper substrates and ink solution were also investigated. Both of antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity study of the nanocomposite ink (PAMPSA-ACY) were also evaluated. Various industries can take the advantage of the current ink as a competent approach for anticounterfeiting purposes.

Fabricating of Fe3O4@Ag-MOF nanocomposite and evaluating its adsorption activity for removal of doxorubicin

The purpose of this research was to investigate the doxorubicin (DOX) adsorption behavior on Fe3O4@Ag-Metal Organic Framework (Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF). This adsorbent was effectively prepared using a simple synthetic process. Many instruments, including FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, and XPS, were used to characterized the new Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF. Additionally, the presented Fe₃O₄@Ag-surface MOF's area was shown to be 586.06 m2/g with a size of around 43 nm. The composite that was made has magnetic properties that were quite strong (63.3 emu/g). The produced Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF was discovered to have a fantastic ability to adsorb the anti-cancer drug DOX, with a 1.72 mmol/g (934.85 mg/g) adsorption capacity. On the basis of changes in temperature, pH, and DOX concentration, the DOX adsorption behavior mechanism was investigated. The adsorption capacity of Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF for DOX was greater at pH 7.0, according to experimental data. The adsorption equilibrium also demonstrated that the Langmuir adsorption was regulated the best fit to the extracted data compared with the other models. Additionally, the activation energy of adsorption for DOX onto Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF was determined, indicating the chemisorption process. The adsorption kinetics was shown in the well-known kinetic model of the pseudo-second-order. The adsorption thermodynamic measurements were documented according to according to the enthalpy (ΔH°), entropy(ΔS°), and Gibbs free energy (ΔG°) parameters demonstrated that the reaction was endothermic and spontaneous thermodynamic. The adsorption of DOX onto Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF from real water samples (tap water, effluent wastewater, and influence wastewater) were investigated. It's interesting that the synthetic adsorbent had great recyclability 72.6 percent in the fifth cycle indicating that it was highly recyclable. After adsorption, the typical Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF XRD peak intensities and locations were mostly unchanged throughout adsorption indicates the crystalline phase remained steady. The results indicated that Fe₃O₄@Ag-MOF were a good candidate for adsorbing the DOX and treating wastewater.

Simple and efficient detection and mapping method based on a strong turn-on fluorescent pigment was developed for fingerprint analysis. We present a phosphor powder characterized by strong emission which is useful to achieve better fingerprint detection on multicolored or photoluminescent surfaces, such as currency notes characterized by optically changeable inks and highly fluorescent positions, because it offers better contrast and reduce the difficulty of background interference. Novel photochromic ink was prepared to establish a fingerprinted colorless film onto cellulose documents with green emission for anticounterfeiting applications as illustrated by photoluminescence spectra. Inorganic/organic nanoscale composite ink was prepared from rare-earth doped aluminate phosphor nanoparticles (PNPs; 27-49 nm) dispersed in a polyacrylic acid binding agent. PNPs were dispersed efficiently in polyacrylic acid to generate a colorless mark. The produced photochromic inks were spray-coated onto off-white paper sheets enclosing invisible fingermarks, and then exposed to thermofixation. Photochromic film was detected on paper surface presenting a transparent appearance under visible daylight and switchable to green under UV light. The CIE Lab parameters and photoluminescence spectra were studied under visible light and ultraviolet irradiation. The fingerprinted sheets showed fluorescence band at 517 nm upon excitation at 366 nm, showing a bathochromic shift and reversible photochromism without fatigue. The morphologies of pigment phosphor particles and fingerprinted sheets were inspected. The rheological properties of ink and mechanical behavior of the fingerprinted paper samples were explored. HIGHLIGHTS: Novel smart ink with alkaline-earth aluminate and polyacrylic acid was developed. Dual-mode fluorescent photochromism was presented for latent fingerprint analysis. Off-white fingerprinted films under daylight showed color change to green under UV. Fluorescence band monitored at 517 nm upon excitation at 366 nm. Fluorescent fingermark on paper sheets demonstrated good photostability.

Solution blowing spinning of polylactate/polyvinyl alcohol/ZnO nanocomposite toward green and sustainable preparation of wound dressing nanofibrous films

The outstanding biodegradability, biocompatibility, affordability, and renewability of polylactic acid have made it a prominent biomaterial. Herein, an innovative, easy, and eco-friendly technique is used to prepare sodium polylactate (SP)-based nanofibers. Solution blowing spinning (SBS) was used to create fibrous mats of SP and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). SBS's SP nanfibers were crosslinked using an aqueous solution of calcium chloride to produce moisture-resistant calcium polylactate nanofibrous spun mats. Both of UV-visible absorption spectra and transmission electron microscopy were utilized to study the produced zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) to indicate a diameter of around 15-23 nm with a high intensity absorption intensity at 370 nm. New polylactate copolymer was synthesized and characterized by infrared and NMR spectroscopic techniques. In order to prepare SP/PVA/ZnO nanocomposite nanofibers, various ZnO ratios were used. The morphologies of the composite nanofibers were investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray analyzer, and scanning electron microscopy. The cytotoxicity tests of the prepared mat were studied by conducting experiments with L-929 cells at various time intervals. The prepared composite SP/PVA/ZnO nanofibers were subjected to cytotoxicity tests to determine their cytocompatibility. Results showed that those with ZnO concentrations between 0.5% and 2% were found to be less harmful than those with higher concentrations. A variety of bacterial species, including Bacillus pumilus and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as Klebseilla pneumoniae and Escherichia coli, were used to test the antibacterial properties of SP/PVA/ZnO spun mats. The ZnO NPs integrated in the SP/PVA fibrous mats were responsible for their antibacterial properties. After finding the appropriate concentration of ZnO that is least harmful while yet giving a satisfactory antibacterial activity, this biomaterial might be perfect for wound dressing applications. HIGHLIGHTS: New eco-friendly biodegradable sodium polylactate (SP) copolymer was synthesized. Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with a diameter of 15-23 nm were prepared. High antibacterial SP/PVA/ZnO fibers were prepared by solution blowing spinning. SP/PVA/ZnO nanofibers (180-220 nm) with various ratios of ZnO were presented. Cytotoxicity results showed that the cell viability decreases with increasing ZnO.

In this study, novel fluorescent low molecular-weight organogelators are derived from diphenyl ethers and substituted with para-alkoxy groups of different aliphatic chain lengths. The present research promotes the preparation of innovative nanofeather-like assemblies from the synthesized diphenyl ether-derived organogelators. The gelation performance of the prepared alkoxy-substituted diphenyl ethers was reported. The synthesis procedure was achieved by using a base-catalyzed reaction of hydroxyl-substituted diphenyl with various alcohols of different aliphatic chain lengths. The chemical structures of the synthesized diphenyl ether derivatives were studied by ¹H/¹³C NMR and infrared spectroscopy. Fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectral analyses showed solvatochromism. The diphenyl ether derivatives with longer alkoxy terminal substituents showed enhanced thermoreversible gelation activity as compared to the diphenyl ether derivatives with shorter alkoxy terminal substituents. The morphological properties of the self-assembled diphenyl ethers were studied by transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy, which showed supramolecular architectures of highly ordered nanofeathers, enforced by van der Waals interactions and π-stacks. Depending on the length of the aliphatic tail, different morphologies were detected, including nanofeathers, nanofibers, and nanosheets. The antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties of the prepared diphenyl ether-derived organogelators were examined to confirm their possible use in various fields like drug delivery systems.

Preparation of photoluminescent and anticorrosive epoxy paints immobilized with nanoscale graphene from sugarcane bagasse agricultural waste

Sugarcane bagasse agricultural waste has been one of the most common solid pollutants worldwide. Thus, introducing a simple method to convert sugarcane bagasse into value-added materials has been highly significant. Herein, we develop a simple and green strategy to reprocess sugarcane bagasse as a starting material for the preparation of graphene oxide nanosheets toward the preparation of novel photoluminescent, hydrophobic, and anticorrosive epoxy nanocomposite coatings integrated with lanthanide-doped aluminate nanoparticles. Environmentally friendly graphene oxide (GO) nanostructures were provided by a single-step preparation procedure from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) agricultural waste using ferrocene-based oxidation under muffled conditions. The oxidized SCB nanostructures were applied as a drier, anticorrosion, and crosslinking agent for epoxy coatings. Different concentrations of pigment phosphor were applied onto the epoxy coating. The generated epoxy-graphene-aluminate (EGA) paints were then coated onto mild steel. The hydrophobic properties and hardness as well as resistance to scratch of the EGA paints were examined. The transparency and colorimetric screening of the EGA nanocomposite paints were determined by the absorption spectral analysis and CIE Lab parameters. The luminescent translucent paints demonstrated a bright green emission at 520 nm when excited at 372 nm. The anticorrosion properties of the painted steel submerged in NaCl_(aq) were inspected by the electrochemical impedance spectral (EIS) method. The EGA paints with phosphor (11% w/w) exhibited the most distinct anti-corrosion properties and long-persistent luminescence. The produced paints displayed high durability and photostability.
