Magnetic zeolite/iron oxide nanocomposite was prepared by mixing zeolite synthesized from coal fly ashes with magnetite nanoparticles in suspension and was used for the removal of Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) and Indigo Carmine (IC) from aqueous solutions. The effect of various experimental parameters such as contact time, pH, adsorbent dose and temperature were investigated. The experimental data...

Here, we report a new simple and fast method of cobalt copper ferrites film fabrication on the Ti/TiO2 surface. The approach is based deposition gelatin gel containing nitrates surface porous oxide-silicon coatings titanium obtained by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) followed two-stage annealing at 300 °C 800 to yield ferrite films with good adhesion PEO layer. presence Co/Cu phases was con...

Spectrometers and cameras are used in ultrafast spectroscopy to achieve high resolution in both time and frequency domains. Frequency-resolved signals from the camera pixels cannot be processed by common lock-in amplifiers, which have only a limited number of input channels. Here we demonstrate a rapid and economical method that achieves the function of a lock-in amplifier using mechanical chop...

Staying in the pocket: A cyclometalated iridium(III) biquinoline complex targets the protein-protein interface (see picture; C yellow, N blue, Ir dark green) of the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) trimer. Molecular-modeling studies confirm the nature of this interaction. Both enantiomers of the iridium complex display comparable in vitro potency to the strongest small-molecule inhibitor of TNF-α.

An electron-transporting counter-anion, OXD-7-SO3-, was developed for a blue-green-emitting cationic iridium complex, which showed superior device performance in solution-processed phosphorescent light-emitting diodes over its counterpart complex with a PF6- counter-anion, due to the facilitated electron-injection/transport and more balanced carrier recombination imparted by OXD-7-SO3-.

In the present investigation, four species of white rot fungi (Pleurotus), that is, P. flabellatus, P. florida, P. ostreatus and P. sajor-caju were used for decolorization of direct blue 14 (DB14). Among all four species of Pleurotus, P. flabellatus showed the fastest decolorization in petri plates on different concentration, that is, 200 mg/L, 400 mg/L, and 600 mg/L. All these four species wer...
