Summary: A novel amplified sensor based on the synergic catalytic effect of CdO/SWCNTs nanocomposite and 1,3-dipropylimidazolium bromide (1,3-DPBr) was developed for the sensing of promazine in real samples. The sensor exhibited a wide linear range of 3.0 nM-220 μM and a low detection limit of 0.9 nM, achieved using the differential pulse voltammetry technique. The modified sensor showed approximately a 5.0-fold increase in the oxidation current of promazine compared to the unmodified sensor. The recovery data (98.25-102.86%) indicated the excellent performance of the sensor for sensing promazine in injection and water samples.

Summary: In this study, an analytical approach based on electrode surface modification by Pt/SWCNTs as a sensor was proposed to monitor the concentration of carbidopa in an aqueous solution. Pt/SWCNTs nanocomposite was synthesized using a polyol strategy and characterized by TEM. The carbon paste electrode modified with Pt/SWCNTs showed enhanced oxidation signal and decreased oxidation potential for carbidopa, with a linear dynamic range of 1.0 nM-120 M and a detection limit of 0.5 nM at pH = 7.0. The CPEM/Pt/SWCNTs sensor can detect carbidopa in water and dextrose saline with an acceptable recovery range.

Summary: The presence of heavy metal ions and emerging pollutants in water poses a great risk to various biological ecosystems due to their high toxicity. Researchers worldwide are interested in developing efficient and environmentally friendly methods to decontaminate these waters. Adsorption and photocatalysis have been widely used for water treatment, but the discussion and analysis of zeolite-based composites as adsorbents are limited. Zeolites, as porous aluminosilicates, are excellent candidates for wastewater treatment due to their various pollutant removal mechanisms. This review provides an overview of the current developments in fabricating and applying zeolite-based nanocomposites as adsorbents and photocatalysts for extracting heavy metals, dyes, and emerging pollutants from wastewaters. The review also examines the effect of weight ratio on photocatalyst, photodegradation pathways, and various factors influencing photocatalysis and adsorption.

Summary: The effects of long-term natural aging on the artificial aging responses of Al-5Mg-3Zn-1Cu alloy at various temperatures were investigated. It was found that the hardenability of the alloy deteriorates at high artificial aging temperatures, primarily due to the presence of larger and sparser intragranular precipitates and a wide precipitation-free zone. However, long-term natural pre-aging improves nucleation conditions during subsequent artificial aging, preventing unfavorable microstructures and mitigating the decay of hardening potential.
