The solubility of humic substances (HS) increases with pH. However, when in the presence of appropriate concentrations of transition metals in solution, soluble HS flocculate as a consequence of the aggregation processes promoted by the metallic ions. This is of great environmental interest as HS can retain large amounts of metallic ions at low pH. They can also form soluble complexes with thes...

The CO preferential oxidation (PrOx) is one of the critical steps in hydrogen production and purification for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). This reaction was investigated in the presence of excess hydrogen over Cu/CeO2, Pt/CeO2 and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalysts. The ceria supports was prepared via precipitation method and Cu-Pt/CeO2 catalyst was synthesized by sequential impregnation o...

Co2Nx/nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (Co2Nx/NG) is synthesized by electrostatic co-precipitation of Co and rGO followed by high-temperature nitridation, which can serve as an efficient catalyst for sensitive glucose detection due to the unique electrocatalytic property of Co2Nx and synergistic effect between Co2Nx and N-doped rGO.

A new route to highly active hopcalite catalysts via flame spray pyrolysis of an inverse microemulsion precursor is reported. The nitrate derived nanoparticles are around 15 nm in diameter and show excellent conversion of CO under ambient conditions, outperforming commercial reference hopcalite materials produced by co-precipitation.

With 10 million deaths in 2020 cancer remains one of the most challenging diseases contemporary medicine. Chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy are commonly used to treat tumors. These treatments harm healthy tissues succeed rarely advance stages cancer. Recent studies indicate that magnetic hyperthermia, which involves targeted delivery nanoparticles tumor cells followed by localized re...
