Cu-based catalysts have emerged as critical components in photoand electrocatalysis, offering sustainable solutions for renewable energy and environmental applications. The variable oxidation states of Cu enable diverse catalytic pathways, and its abundance, low cost, and tunable properties have positioned...

Designing smart carrier materials for inoculants used in agriculture is essential to ensuring proper shelf life and cell survival in soil. Herein, we propose to encapsulate Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and elemental sulfur (ES) particles in a single fertilizer material based on biodegradable...

ABSTRACT: Eco-friendly supercapacitor (SC) and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) devices were assembled using laser-induced graphene (LIG) electrodes fabricated by direct laser writing of chitosan-lignin-boric acid films. A simple one-step laser irradiation was used to convert the chitosan-based films into...

The transition to net-zero emissions by 2050 necessitates the development of sustainable and efficient energy storage systems to complement the rise in renewable energy generation. Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) are pivotal in this energy transformation, yet challenges remain in developing sustainable,&...

This study explores the development of cotton fabrics with enhanced color durability and controlled fragrance release through the microencapsulation of lavender oil using chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) in combination with anthocyanin-based dyeing. The innovation of this work lies in t...

Wireless communication technologies, particularly radio frequency (RF), have been widely explored for wearable electronics with secure and userfriendly information transmission. By exploiting the operational principle of chemically actuated resonant devices (CARDs) and the electrical response observed in chemir...

3D-printed microneedles (MNs) have revolutionized the biomedical sector, enabling applications in aesthetic treatments, vaccine delivery, diagnostics, and real-time biomarker analysis. These minimally invasive structures advance the development of sensors and biosensors for diverse applications, including human, vet...

This study compared the physicochemical characteristics and biological effects of two 3D-printed biosilica (BS) scaffolds (grid and gyroid). The methods included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), porosity, mass loss, pH assessment, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and energy dispersive X-r...

The growing concern about nutrient-rich diets and health monitoring has motivated the search for simple, fast, and effective methods for detecting important nutrients in foodstuffs. In this scenario, colorimetric detection using nanostructures presenting enzymatic properties (nanozymes) has gained prominen...
