Summary: The study evaluated the effects of FetO content and basicity on MgO solubility in calcium aluminate slag. It was found that the dependence of MgO solubility on basicity reversed within the equilibrium region. Meanwhile, a dense layer of solid solution formed at the interface between MgAl2O4 and FetO-containing MgO-saturated slag, with the solubility of ferric ions dominated by redox equilibria in the slag.

Summary: This research investigates the synthesis, structure, and physical properties of Co1 - xCuxFe2O4 [x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.00] spinel ferrites. The samples were synthesized using a solid-state method and their crystal structure was confirmed through X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. The magnetic properties of these spinel ferrites were found to exhibit super-paramagnetic behavior, supported by Mossbauer spectral analysis. Additionally, the materials showed good dielectric properties with high dielectric constants and low dielectric loss values.

Summary: The aim of this work was to investigate low temperature fast synthesis of cobalt spinel ferrite poly-crystalline ceramics. The combination of high temperature and high pressures was used to lower the threshold for activation of chemical interaction and increase the rate of diffusion kinetics, resulting in a sharp decrease in synthesis time. The study successfully synthesized test samples with significantly reduced duration and sintering temperature compared to conventional methods, and investigated the effects of thermobaric conditions on the properties of CoFe2O4 spinels.

Summary: The effect of Co content on the magnetic properties of Ni-Zn ferrites is mainly reflected in the decrease of Curie temperature and the increase of Ms, Mr, and Hc. These changes are primarily due to the larger magnetic moment of the Co2+ ion, as well as the influence of the difference in ionic radii. The non-linear concentration dependence of magnetic characteristics is discussed in terms of Co2+ spin states.

Summary: This paper presents a chemiluminescence (CL) probe comprising CsPbBr3 quantum dots (QDs) in organic phase, Fe(II), and K2S2O8 in aqueous medium for the highly selective and sensitive determination of the antibiotic, cefazolin (CFZ). The CsPbBr3 perovskite QDs prepared using the ligand assisted reprecipitation method exhibit a narrow fluorescence peak at 533 nm under 460 nm excitation with a high quantum yield (42%). Fe(II) S2O82-, as an ultra-weak CL system, is converted into a strong CL sensing platform in the presence of organic phase CsPbBr3 QDs. The designed probe shows an enhanced CL signal in the presence of CFZ in the linear range of 25-300 nM, with a low limit of detection (9.6 nM). The introduced sensor has broad applicability in biosensing, food detection, and other fields, with recovery ranging from 94% to 106%.

Summary: In recent years, the development of highly sensitive sensors has gained popularity. Functional nanomaterials play an important role in sensing due to their unique structures and catalytic properties, but they still face challenges of low sensitivity and poor specificity. Single-atom nanomaterials (SANs) offer advantages in amplifying sensing signals and improving interference resistance. They are expected to achieve high sensitivity and high specificity monitoring by modulating active sites. This review summarizes the recent progress on SANs for electrochemical sensing applications, including the features and advantages of single-atom catalysts, regulation of reaction sites, and applications in constructing sensors for biochemical and environmental analysis.

Summary: In this study, vanadium carbide (V(2C)Tx) MXene was successfully synthesized and treated with an ammonia solution under different pressures using a hydrothermal process. The results show that the morphology of V(2)CTx MXene changed from uneven multilayered micrometre-size sheets to uniform few-layered nanometer-size sheets as the pressure increased. The optical and electronic properties were influenced by nitrogen-related defects, quantum confinement, and induced lattice strain due to the post-ammonia treatment.

Summary: Two Schiff base complexes, [CuL2] (Cu-Sal) and [CoL3] (Co-Sal), were synthesized and characterized. Crystal structure analysis showed a square planar geometry around Cu(ii) and various intermolecular non-covalent interactions in Cu-Sal. Both complexes were used as sensitizers in TiO2 based dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), and Co-Sal exhibited better photovoltaic performance than Cu-Sal due to improved light absorption and dye loading.

Summary: UV/O-3 treatment enhances the field electron emission properties of hydrothermally synthesized spinel NiCo2O4 by altering its electronic structure, creating oxygen vacancies that improve electron emission. The introduction of oxygen vacancy leads to an enhancement of electronic states near the Fermi level, resulting in a reduction of the work function and improved field electron emission characteristics. UV/O-3 treatment can be effectively utilized in field electron emission investigations for practical applications.
