Summary: The sensitivity of substrate-supported nano-graphitic micro-sensors in response to dopamine was found to increase linearly with the inverse of the upper potential limit (UPL) in voltammetry experiments. This unexpected dependence was attributed to the UPL-induced electrostatic force that influences the steady-state number of dopamine molecules on the sensor surface, providing a new strategy for enhancing the performance of planar electrochemical micro-sensors.

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has gained significant interest in power transformation and retention due to its unique properties and potential applications. However, the limited illumination and recombination of photoexcitation radicals hinder its photocatalytic performance. Varying dimensions of g-C3N4 show distinct features, making it suitable for a range of fascinating uses. This evaluation discusses the physicochemical characteristics, modifications, and interfaces design development of g-C3N4, with a focus on its applications in energy conversion and storage, such as hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, and battery technologies. The challenges and potential of g-C3N4 for fuel transformation and retention activities are also explored.

Summary: The study assessed the potential of nanocomposite membranes (NCMs) made of sodium alginate and embedded with synthesized zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) as fillers for separating gaseous mixtures generated by methane reforming. ZIF-8 crystals were synthesized through hydrothermal synthesis, with sizes ranging from 50 to 70 nm. NCMs with 15% filler loading (synthesized ZIF-8) outperformed neat polymer membranes in terms of H-2 permeability and selectivity, achieving a purity of up to 95%. However, NCMs did not perform better than neat polymer membranes in separating gas mixtures. The combination of ZIF-8 and sodium alginate as fillers is a new and worth investigating.

Summary: Potentiometric sensing of oxyanions such as arsenate was achieved using a self-assembly engineered and chemically responsive molybdenum dioxide grafted polyaniline (PANI/MoO3) plated ITO glass electrode. Characterization techniques were used to determine the impact of molecular architecture on the structure, morphology, and physical characteristics of PANI/MoO3, confirming enhanced crystallinity, adsorption capacity, and responsiveness. The LOD for As(V) ion detection using the PANI/MoO3 composite/ITO electrode was found to be 0.15 ppb, and the sensing mechanism, charge transfer, and shifting characteristics were elucidated through the interaction between arsenate and molybdate oxyanions. The electrode's analytical performance in detecting residual arsenate in diverse environmental samples was also investigated.

Summary: A bio-sorbent derived from green algae biomass, Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina), showed promise as an economically viable option for water decontamination. The inclusion of microalgae cellulose, poly(lactic acid) (PLA), Dabai activated carbon (AC), and montmorillonite (MMT) in the biosorbent played distinctive roles in removing methylene blue (MB) dye. The biosorbent effectively eliminated 86.8% of MB dye from an initial concentration of 50 mg/L after 60 min of Vis-light irradiation using Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.
