In the present era of science and technology, cadmium poisoning in humans is reported from several parts of the world and now it is a global health problem. Accumulation of cadmium in human organs and tissues, such as the liver, kidney, etc., leads to carcinogenic effects and toxicity to the organ system. Therefore, several efforts are being made to develop a monitoring system for cadmium metal ions in the environmen Read More

Introduction Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) constitutes a major portion of solid waste and presents a significant environmental challenge. This study aims to evaluate the transformation of CDW into a Recycled Aggregate (RA) as a sustainable strategy to mitigate environmental pollution. Method The research assesses the mechanical properties and economic benefits of RA concrete, which is mad Read More

Background Fossil fuels have been used extensively as primary energy sources, which has resulted in nearly depleted reserves, a contaminated environment, and a variety of negative health effects globally. Hydrogen has been proposed by researchers as an effective “carbon neutral” fuel. Large-scale hydrogen production through electrochemical water splitting necessitates the use of inexpensive, extremely effective, and e Read More

Background In this study, we reported on developing a susceptible, accurate, simple, and economical electrochemical sensor for gabapentin determination in capsules. Methods The ITO electrode was modified with a layer of Prussian blue nanoparticles and then used as the working electrode. Gabapentin was extracted from commercial capsules, and a series of concentrations of gabapentin were prepared for studyi Read More

Background Chalcone-type molecules are significant compounds due to their biocompatible properties. This study aimed to examine the electrochemical properties of vanillin chalcone monomer (VC) and its polymer (PANI-VC), as well as to investigate the antioxidant properties of the vanillin chalcone monomer. Methods VC and PANI-VC were synthesized and characterized using FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The elect Read More

Electrochemical biosensors a subclass of biosensors, consisting of a biosensing element and an electrochemical transducer, have been widely used in various fields due to their excellent performance and portable device. However, in complex actual samples, non-specific adsorption of proteins and solid particles, and adhesion of cells and bacteria will lead to problems such as reduced sensor sensitivity, prolonged response time, Read More
