Summary: Pathogenic bacteria contamination on high-contact surfaces in hospitals is a major threat to public health, causing severe nosocomial infections and increased hospital mortality. Nanostructured surfaces with mechano-bactericidal properties show potential for fighting against pathogenic microorganisms. However, bacterial attachment and inanimate pollutants weaken their antibacterial capabilities. In this study, we discovered a nonwetting Amorpha fruticosa leaf surface with mechano-bactericidal capacity and developed an artificial superhydrophobic surface with similar nanofeatures and superior antibacterial abilities, along with antifouling performances. This bioinspired anti-fouling nanoflakes surface holds promise for reducing the transmission of nosocomial infections.

Summary: By tuning the concentration of the chemical bath solution, a transition from ZnO nanowalls to nanoflakes was achieved. The changes in particle size and crystallite size of the nanostructures affect the threshold and emission wavelength of random lasing. Ultimately, the nanoflakes structure showed the lowest threshold for random lasing, making it the best structure for ZnO random lasers.

Summary: Due to the excessive use of antibiotics in agriculture, bacteria have developed resistance, leading to the global spread of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths. This paper proposes the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles synthesized by a sol-gel technique as a potential solution against various types of bacteria, including Gram-negative, Gram-positive, and multidrug-resistant strains. The study determined the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and found that the zinc oxide nanoparticles were effective against several bacteria strains, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus.

Summary: Li-CO2 batteries have gained significant importance due to their higher gravimetric energy density compared to conventional Li-ion batteries and their ability to utilize CO2 for energy storage. However, challenges such as slow CO2 reduction/evolution, interface blockage, high overpotential, and electrolyte instability hinder their progress. Efforts have been made to develop catalysts, improve electrolyte stability, and protect the anodes. Lack of understanding of the reaction mechanisms slows down the development of Li-CO2 batteries. In situ characterization techniques can help bridge this gap by monitoring the processes during reactions.

Summary: Gymnemic acid, a glycoside of triterpene, has valuable applications for chronic diseases, particularly for diabetes. However, its limited solubility and bioavailability necessitate the use of a delivery system. In this study, Gymnemic acid mediated gold nanoparticles (Gym@AuNPs) were synthesized using an eco-friendly approach. The synthesized Gym@AuNPs exhibited a deep ruby red color, a narrow peak at 530 nm on UV-visible spectroscopy, and a spherical shape with an average size of 48.52 +/- 5.53 nm on FESEM and HR-TEM studies. The in vivo antidiabetic activity of Gym@AuNPs was validated in diabetic rats, showing regulation of glucose and lipid levels as well as restoration of pancreatic islet cells.

Summary: Transition metal sulfides (TMS) are promising electrode materials for supercapacitor applications. To overcome the deficiency of individual metal sulfides, the combination of pseudocapacitive transition metals with conductive carbon material can be a plausible solution. In this work, flower-like Ni3S2/CoS2/MoS2 (NCMS) and Ni3S2/CoS2/MoS2-GQDs (NCMS-G) structures were fabricated directly on Ni foam using a hydrothermal synthesis method. The NCMS-G-2.5 electrode showed high specific capacitance, excellent rate capability, and good cycling stability. Furthermore, an assembled NCMS-G-2.5//rGO asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device exhibited excellent energy density and superior cycling performance. The interactions between Ni3S2/CoS2/MoS2 and carbon based nanostructure GQDs were investigated using Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations, revealing enhanced electronic states near Fermi level and improved conductivity for the hybrid structure. The fabricated 3D flower NCMS-G-2.5 has potential prospects for developing advanced and high-performance energy storage devices.
