Summary: This study describes a new potentiometric carbon paste sensor for the measurement of propranolol, which has the advantages of fast, easy and selective detection. The sensor utilizes the propranolol-tungstosilicate ion association as an excellent ionophore in the carbon paste matrix. It exhibits a high sensitivity and selectivity for propranolol over a wide concentration range, along with a fast response time, good reproducibility, and long lifetime. The sensor is also successfully applied to the analysis of propranolol in biological and pharmaceutical samples, and the formation constant of the inclusion complex between propranolol and β-cyclodextrin is determined.

Summary: 2D polymers are promising organic photocatalysts for solar fuel production due to their tunability, charge-transport properties, and robustness. However, their difficult processing limits the study of heterojunction materials incorporating these components. In this work, a novel templating approach is used to combine an imine-based donor polymer and an acceptor polymer formed through Knoevenagel condensation. The templated heterojunction exhibits significantly improved photocatalytic activity due to faster charge separation and more efficient charge extraction.

Summary: Nitrogen and carbon-codoped titanium dioxide nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning and demonstrated improved performance in supercapacitors without the need for additional carbon dopants. The specific capacitance of N,C-TiNF was four times higher than that of C-TiNF, with nitrogen doping improving pseudocapacitance properties. These findings suggest that N, C-TiNFs are excellent candidates for supercapacitor applications.
