AB  - The interaction between charge carriers and phonons is the primary mechanism through which charge carriers exchange energy with the crystal lattice. A proper understanding of the electron-phonon interaction is of great importance. We conducted a comprehensive investigation to examine the electron-phonon interaction in semiconductor crystals of Zn1-xCdxGeAs2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1). For this objective, X-ray diffraction, far-infrared reflection, and Raman scattering studies were employed. In addition to the two primary phases, namely ZnGeAs2 and CdGeAs2, four component phases were also identified: ZnAs2, CdAs2, GeAs, and GeAs2. A spatially inhomogeneous distribution of charge carriers was detected, with the highest concentration in the vicinity of the formed GeAs. Analysis of the Far-infrared reflection spectrum of ZnGeAs2 (x = 0) revealed that plasmon-4 phonon interaction occurs, while in CdGeAs2 (x = 1), there is a plasmon-3 phonon interaction. All other samples have both of these interactions, according to their percentage in the composition. Raman measurements revealed that due to the influence of free charge carriers, there is an increase in the intensity of phonon modes, their displacement, or their splitting into two modes. The intensity and the way the electron-phonon interaction vary depending on the local concentration of free carriers, and it is the strongest in the areas around the formed GeAs.  The obtained results and performed analyses revealed the existence of different phases in the material, inhomogeneous charge distribution, and electron-phonon interaction, which are essential properties of thermoelectric materials.

AB  - In this paper, the coordination of 4-methylpyrazole (L) to Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions is studied through the reactions of Ni(OAc)2·4H2O and Zn(OAc)2·2H₂O with 4-methylpyrazole in a 1:2 metal-to-ligand molar ratio in ethanol at room temperature. From the reaction mixtures, new complex compounds of formulae: [Ni(OAc)2L4] and [Zn(OAc)2L2] were crystallized. The crystal and molecular structure of the synthesized complexes were determined by single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The coordination environment of Ni(II) in its complex is octahedral, while that of Zn(II) is tetrahedral. The compounds are characterized by IR spectra and elemental analysis. Their thermal stability, a crucial property, is analyzed by thermogravimetry. To get a better insight into the decomposition mechanism coupled TG-MS measurements were carried out, too. The tests of the antioxidative activity of the new complexes on DPPH radical showed that the Zn(II) complex is more effective than the Ni(II) complex.

AB  - In this work, Cu(II) complexes with meso‑HMPAO and d,l-HMPAO were synthesized. The structural characterisation of the isolated compounds has been done by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, FTIR, and mass spectroscopy. Redox properties of complexes and binding to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule have been analysed in detail by cyclic voltammetry and DFT calculations. The results of cyclic voltammetry fully agree with the data obtained by DFT calculations and indicate that the first electron removal takes place from the metal, while the second electron is removed from the ligand. The formation of the complex leads to the shift in oxidation peaks of the ligand from ‒0.29 V to 0,47 V and from 1.18 V to 1,24 V, indicating that ligand in the complex is much more difficult to oxidize. Electrochemical data confirmed the binding between the complex and DNA molecules through guanine. DFT calculations show that the complex is suitable not only for binding purine and pyrimidine bases through a coordination bond but also for additional hydrogen and CH-π interactions of the bases with the ligand. The fluorescence titration experiments revealed a moderate binding affinity of the [Cu-HMPAO]ClO4 complex to human serum albumin (HSA). Molecular docking revealed that this ligand preferentially binds to drug binding site 3 of HSA. Therefore, the novel compounds could be of great interest for further investigation, considering the potential anticancer activity, and as a model for the development of radiopharmaceutical with 64Cu.

AB  - Introduction  Photodynamic therapy (PDT) has gained significant attention due to its superiority over conventional treatments. In the context of skin cancers and nonmalignant skin diseases, topical application of photosensitizer formulations onto affected skin, followed by illumination, offers distinct advantages. Topical PDT simplifies therapy by providing easy access to the skin, increasing drug concentration within the target area, and confining residual photosensitivity to the treated skin. However, the effectiveness of topical PDT is often hindered by challenges such as limited skin penetration or photosensitizer instability. Additionally, the hypoxic tumor environment poses further limitations. Nanocarriers present a promising solution to address these challenges. Areas covered  The objective of this review is to comprehensively explore and highlight the role of various nanocarriers in advancing topical PDT for the treatment of skin diseases. The primary focus is to address the challenges associated with conventional topical PDT approaches and demonstrate how nanotechnology-based strategies can overcome these challenges, thereby improving the overall efficiency and efficacy of PDT. Expert opinion  Nanotechnology has revolutionized the field of PDT, offering innovative tools to combat the unfavorable features of photosensitizers and hurdles in PDT. Nanocarriers enhance skin penetration and stability of photosensitizers, provide controlled drug release, reduce needed dose, increase production of reactive oxygen species, while reducing side effects, thereby improving PDT effectiveness.

AB  - Fear-related disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and anxiety disorders are pervasive psychiatric conditions marked by persistent fear, stemming from its dysregulated acquisition and extinction. The primary treatment for these disorders, exposure therapy (ET), relies heavily on fear extinction (FE) principles. Adolescence, a vulnerable period for developing psychiatric disorders, is characterized by neurobiological changes in the fear circuitry, leading to impaired FE and increased susceptibility to relapse following ET. Ketamine, known for relieving anxiety and reducing PTSD symptoms, influences fear-related learning processes and synaptic plasticity across the fear circuitry. Our study aimed to investigate the effects of ketamine (10 mg/kg) on FE in adolescent male C57 BL/6 mice at the behavioral and molecular levels. We analyzed the protein and gene expression of synaptic plasticity markers in the hippocampus (HPC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC) and sought to identify neural correlates associated with ketamine’s effects on adolescent extinction learning. Ketamine ameliorated FE in the adolescent males, likely affecting the consolidation and/or recall of extinction memory. Ketamine also increased the Akt and mTOR activity and the GluA1 and GluN2A levels in the HPC and upregulated BDNF exon IV mRNA expression in the HPC and PFC of the fear-extinguished mice. Furthermore, ketamine increased the c-Fos expression in specific brain regions, including the ventral HPC (vHPC) and the left infralimbic ventromedial PFC (IL vmPFC). Providing a comprehensive exploration of ketamine’s mechanisms in adolescent FE, our study suggests that ketamine’s effects on FE in adolescent males are associated with the activation of hippocampal Akt-mTOR-GluA1 signaling, with the vHPC and the left IL vmPFC as the proposed neural correlates.

AB  - Ethnopharmacological relevance: Jiawei-Xiaoyao Pill (JWX), a classic formula in traditional Chinese medicine, is derived from Xiaoyao Pill by adding significant amounts of Gardeniae Fructus (GF) and Moutan Cortex (MC). It is frequently used for the treatment of depression. JWX has been demonstrated to uniquely elicit rapid antidepressant-like effects within the prescribed dosage range. To date, GF has been shown to have rapid antidepressant-like effects, but a much higher dose is required than its proportion in JWX. It is assumed that the synergism of GF with a minimum number of other herbs in JWX serves as a refined formula that exerts these rapid antidepressant-like effects. Identification of a refined formula is important for prioritizing the herbs and ingredients to optimize the quality control of JWX. However, such a refined formula for JWX has not been identified yet. Aim of the study: Here we aimed to identify a refined formula derived from JWX for optimized rapid antidepressant-like effects. Since the neuroinflammation mechanism involving in depression treatment has not been previously investigated for JWX, we tested the mechanism for both JWX and the refined formula. Materials and methods: Individual herbs (MC; ASR, Angelica Sinensis Radix; Bupleuri Radix; Paeonia Radix Alba) that show antidepressant-like responses were mixed with GF at the proportional dosage in JWX to identify the refined formula. Rapid antidepressant-like effects were assessed by using NSF (Novelty Suppressed Feeding Test) and other behavioral tests following a single administration. The identified formula was further tested in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced depressive model, and the molecular signaling mechanisms were investigated using Western blot analysis, immunofluorescence, and pharmacological inhibition of mTOR signaling. Scopolamine (Scop) was used as a positive control for induction of rapid antidepressant effects. Results: A combination of GF, MC and ASR (GMA) at their dosages proportional to JWX induced behavioral signs of rapid antidepressant-like responses in both normal and LPS-treated mice, with the antidepressant-like effects sustained for 5 d. Similar to JWX or Scop, GMA rapidly reduced the neuroinflammation signaling of Iba-1-NF-кB, enhanced neuroplasticity signaling of CaMKII-mTOR-BDNF, and attenuated the upregulated expressions of the NMDAR sub-units GluN1 and GluN2B in the hippocampus of LPS-treated mice. GMA, JWX and Scop rapidly restored the number of BDNF-positive cells reduced by LPS treatment in the CA3 region of the hippocampus

AB  - In patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and in animal models, the increased accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) in retinal blood vessels strongly correlates with brain amyloid deposits and cognitive decline. The accumulation of Aβ in blood vessels may result from impaired transcytosis and a dysfunctional ocular glymphatic system in AD. High-dose fish oil (FO) supplementation has been shown to significantly change the expression of major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 2a (Mfsd2a), a key regulator of transcytosis, and Aquaporin 4 (Aqp4), an essential component of the glymphatic system in the retinas of WT mice. We examined the expression of Mfsd2a and Aqp4 in the retinas of 4-month-old 5xFAD female mice supplemented with high-dose FO for three weeks. There was a significant increase in Mfsd2a expression in 5xFAD retinas supplemented with FO compared to control 5xFAD mice. Additionally, the increase in Aqp4 expression observed in 4-month-old 5xFAD retinas, indicative of an impaired glymphatic system, was significantly decreased. Simultaneously, Aβ accumulation in 5xFAD retinal blood vessels was reduced following FO supplementation. These findings suggest that high-dose FO supplementation could serve as an adjunct in developing new treatments aimed at improving the regulation of transcytosis or the function of the glymphatic system in the AD retina

AB  - Securing ever-increasing energy demands while reducing resilience on fossil fuels is a major task of modern society. Fuel cells are devices in which the chemical energy of various fuels can be converted into clean electricity. Direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFC) are increasingly popular for their eco-friendliness and significantly easier liquid fuel manipulation compared to hydrogen-fed fuel cells. Carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles are considered reference catalysts for fuel oxidation in DEFCs. Several challenges hinder DEFC commercialization: high Pt-loading, Pt poisoning by CO intermediates, and the instability of the Pt and carbon supports. This work demonstrates an efficient electrocatalyst for ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) composed of Pt nanoparticles supported on electrochemically exfoliated graphene (Pt/el-rGO). Graphene was obtained through anodic electrochemical exfoliation using graphitic tape as the anode, while Pt nanoparticles were synthesized using chemical reduction with formic acid. As-obtained Pt/el-rGO with only 7.5 wt.% Pt was characterized using TEM, SEM, and XPS. Pt/el-rGO exhibited notably higher EOR catalytic activity in an alkaline electrolyte than the Pt/C benchmark. This enhancement can be linked with the functional groups present on the graphene support, which facilitate ethanol dehydrogenation as the first step in the EOR mechanism and thus enhance reaction kinetics on Pt-active sites.

AB  - Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are at the forefront of scientific research as green technologies aimed at effectively purifying polluted aquatic environments. These methods utilize electrochemical processes to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as the hydroxyl radical (•OH), either on the anode surface or within the bulk solution, which can partially degrade or completely mineralize organic pollutants. The aim of the article is to provide a bibliometric analysis of research articles specifically focused on the application and development of EAOPs in wastewater treatment over the past five years. Utilizing the most extensive database for literature searches, Web of Science Core Collection (WoS), which encompasses 95% of global publications, a total of 649 research articles were retrieved by limiting the search results to words associated with EAOPs in titles, keywords, and abstracts. The bibliometric dataset was then processed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer software. The People’s Republic of China is emerging as the country with the highest production in the field, demonstrating a strong commitment to research and a leading role in international cooperation. This leadership is evident through China’s substantial contributions to the body of literature and its extensive network of collaborations with researchers worldwide. Meanwhile, Australia, despite producing fewer publications, has achieved a high citation rate, underscoring the significant impact and influence of its research within the scientific community. One of the most promising and extensively studied topics in this field is the electro-Fenton process, which has garnered considerable attention due to its potential applications and remarkable efficiency in various contexts. The bibliometric analysis conducted in this study allowed for a detailed visualization of the currently available literature data and corresponding developing trends. By mapping out the key areas of focus, prominent researchers, influential journals, and collaborative networks, this analysis provides valuable insights. These insights can facilitate future joint research endeavors, enhance collaboration, and promote the sharing of knowledge and best practices among researchers globally.

AB  - Although low-cost air quality sensors facilitate the implementation of denser air quality monitoring networks, enabling a more realistic assessment of individual exposure to airborne pollutants, their sensitivity to multifaceted field conditions is often overlooked in laboratory testing. This gap was addressed by introducing an in-field calibration and validation of three PAQMON 1.0 mobile sensing low-cost platforms developed at the Mining and Metallurgy Institute in Bor, Republic of Serbia. A configuration tailored for monitoring PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations along with meteorological parameters was employed for outdoor measurement campaigns in Bor, spanning heating (HS) and non-heating (NHS) seasons. A statistically significant positive linear correlation between raw PM2.5 and PM10 measurements during both campaigns (R > 0.90, p ≤ 0.001) was observed. Measurements obtained from the uncalibrated NOVA SDS011 sensors integrated into the PAQMON 1.0 platforms exhibited a substantial and statistically significant correlation with the GRIMM EDM180 monitor (R > 0.60, p ≤ 0.001). The calibration models based on linear and Random Forest (RF) regression were compared. RF models provided more accurate descriptions of air quality, with average adjR2 values for air quality variables in the range of 0.70 to 0.80 and average NRMSE values between 0.35 and 0.77. RF-calibrated PAQMON 1.0 platforms displayed divergent levels of accuracy across different pollutant concentration ranges, achieving a data quality objective of 50% during both measurement campaigns.

abstract = "Although low-cost air quality sensors facilitate the implementation of denser air quality monitoring networks, enabling a more realistic assessment of individual exposure to airborne pollutants, their sensitivity to multifaceted field conditions is often overlooked in laboratory testing. This gap was addressed by introducing an in-field calibration and validation of three PAQMON 1.0 mobile sensing low-cost platforms developed at the Mining and Metallurgy Institute in Bor, Republic of Serbia. A configuration tailored for monitoring PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations along with meteorological parameters was employed for outdoor measurement campaigns in Bor, spanning heating (HS) and non-heating (NHS) seasons. A statistically significant positive linear correlation between raw PM2.5 and PM10 measurements during both campaigns (R > 0.90, p ≤ 0.001) was observed. Measurements obtained from the uncalibrated NOVA SDS011 sensors integrated into the PAQMON 1.0 platforms exhibited a substantial and statistically significant correlation with the GRIMM EDM180 monitor (R > 0.60, p ≤ 0.001). The calibration models based on linear and Random Forest (RF) regression were compared. RF models provided more accurate descriptions of air quality, with average adjR2 values for air quality variables in the range of 0.70 to 0.80 and average NRMSE values between 0.35 and 0.77. RF-calibrated PAQMON 1.0 platforms displayed divergent levels of accuracy across different pollutant concentration ranges, achieving a data quality objective of 50% during both measurement campaigns.

AB  - Air kerma length product and air kerma area product are special quantities used in diagnostic radiology. They are measured using special measurement devices – CT-chambers and KAP-meters, in order to calculate quantities related to patient exposure. Appropriate calibration of all measurement devices is of vital importance, and comparisons between calibration laboratories are necessary to prove competence.  It is usually considered adequate to participate in air kerma comparisons to prove capabilities for special quantities, but the literature shows that some problems in calibration procedure can remain unknown. The comparisons directly in terms of special quantities provide additional burden to laboratories, and require special transfer instruments, but they allow checking the whole calibration procedures.  This paper describes a comparison between two calibration laboratories in terms of both air kerma length product and air kerma area product. Both laboratories achieved good results for all radiation qualities, considering the measurement uncertainty. Transfer instruments’ linearity, field size dependence and energy dependence were investigated. Even though the metrological properties of the transfer instruments are worse than the ionization chambers, they can be taken into account by introducing additional measurement uncertainty, performing appropriate corrections or choosing calibration points for the comparison for the values of influence quantities where the transfer instrument response is relatively flat. These comparisons provide additional value to calibration laboratories, but there are still several challenges related to their organization and execution.

AB  - In the rapid development of microelectronics, energy, and automotive sectors, as well as Radio-Frequency (RF) telecommunications, the pollution from Electromagnetic Waves (EWs) is perpetual. Electromagnetic interferences (EMI) cause destruction and disruptive impacts on equipment and systems, affecting both ordinary use and specialized, expensive instruments utilized in research facilities. The EMI may lead to unreliable signals and radio frequency (RF) interference. Materials capable of neutralizing EMI effects are essential to minimize deterioration caused by undesired currents and voltages, instrument blockage, incorrect results, and to minimize measuring time. The GrInShield project aims to solve the aforesaid issues by creating innovative shieldinqg graphene-based nanomaterials that are resistant against EMI.

AB  - Nickel thin films were deposited to the different thicknesses onto glass substrates using electron-beam glancing angle deposition. The changes in the structural, chemical, and magnetic properties of the films have been investigated. The obtained morphological and microstructural results revealed that the deposited samples consisted of vertical columns with a thickness in the range of 50 nm to 140 nm and a diameter of 15 nm to 29 nm. With the increase in film thickness, the surface roughness increases as well. Chemical analysis showed that the main phase in the samples is metallic Ni, with a certain amount of NiO. In addition, magnetic measurements exhibit that all Ni films show typical hysteresis loops with a uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. The coercivity was found to increase with the thickness up to 110 nm followed by its further decrease, probably due to the differences in the structure of the columns themselves as well as the combined contributions of two different antiferromagnetic (NiO) and ferromagnetic (Ni) phases created in the deposited nanostructures.

AB  - The healing of infected bone fractures represents a significant clinical challenge in orthopedic surgery. Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are attractive materials, highly applicable in bone healing due to their satisfactory biological properties and chemical similarity to bone minerals. However, manual mixing is often required before localized application of conventional CPCs, increasing the risk of infection. Moreover, their antibacterial properties are often insufficient for treating infected fractures. In this study, antimicrobial two-paste premixed CPCs loaded with carvacrol were developed. The influence of the carvacrol on the setting properties and mechanical strength of the cement was studied. In vitro studies demonstrated the biocompatibility, osteogenic potential, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial efficacy of the premixed bone cements, including effectiveness against gram-positive, gram-negative, and drug-resistant bacteria. Notably, in vivo studies revealed exceptional antimicrobial and osteogenic properties of the carvacrol-loaded cements, confirming the promising potential of the premixed cements for the healing of infected bone defects.

AB  - Ligands with multiple coordination sites are often used in the synthesis of the extended metallo-organic structures. Both pyrazolyl and acetato ligands can have a role of a ''bridge'' between the metallo-organic fragments. As a part of the study of the coordination capabilities of pyrazole-based ligands we are reporting the molecular and crystal structure of the tetrakis(4-methyl-1H-pyrazole)-bis(acetato)Nickel(II). The asymmetric unit contains two halves of the title molecule with nickel (II) ions sitting on inversion centers. Four 4-methyl-pyrazole and two acetato ligands are coordinated to Ni (II) in a distorted octahedral geometry. Deviations from ideal octahedral geometry are associated with acetato ligands involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

AB  - The use of vanadium complexes for potential applications in medicine largely depends on the structural properties of the complex itself, as well as on the electronic configuration of the metal and its oxidation state. When the vanadium complex binds to biomolecules or by binding solvent molecules to the complex, there is a change in the structure but also a change in the redox properties of the complex. Using theoretical methods, especially Density Functional theory (DFT), it is possible to determine which factors influence changes in the redox properties of the complex. Furthermore, by calculating the Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) constants of hyperfine coupling, it is possible to obtain not only data on the electronic configuration, but also to predict changes in redox properties upon changes in the structure of the complex. DFT results show that the binding of pyridine or imidazole to the VO(acac)2 complex leads to a lowering of the redox potential. The largest changes in the redox potential were observed in the case when the incoming ligand binds in a cis position relative to the V==O bond.

AB  - In the present work, a nanocomposite, based on embedding Co-doped CeO2 nanoparticles into graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), was applied to functionalize commercial glassy carbon paste. This is the first application of the electrochemical sensor, developed through the proposed procedure, in electrochemical sensing. The sensor was utilized for the electrochemical determination of organophosphate pesticide fenitrothion (FNT). Cyclic voltammetry identified reversible oxidation of FNT (oxidation at 0.18 V and reduction at 0.13 V) and additional reduction at 0.62 V vs. Ag/AgCl in HCl solution (pH =1). Theoretical calculations were carried out to model and elucidate experimentally observed redox processes. Special attention was devoted to modeling experimental conditions, and based on the obtained results, a detailed redox mechanism of the investigated analyte was proposed. This represents the first complete and unambiguous elucidation of the FNT redox mechanism, supported by joined experimental and theoretical data. Square wave voltammetry (SWV) was utilized for quantification, whereby the FNT oxidation peak was chosen for monitoring the analyte concentration. The developed sensor provided a nanomolar detection limit (3.2 nmol L 1), a wide linear concentration range (from 0.01 to 13.7 μmol L 1), and good precision, repeatability, and selectivity towards FNT. Practical application possibility was explored by testing the sensor performance for examining tap water and apple samples. Recovery tests, conducted during the FNT-spiked sample assays, showed a great application capability of the developed sensor for real-time monitoring of FNT traces in environmental samples.

AB  - In this study, we propose an eco-friendly method for synthesizing cerium tungstate nanoparticles using hydrothermal techniques. We used scanning, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction to analyze the morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles. The results showed that the synthesized nanoparticles were uniform and highly crystalline, with a particle size of about 50 nm. The electrocatalytic properties of the nanoparticles were then investigated using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. We further used the synthesized nanoparticles to develop an electrochemical sensor based on a carbon paste electrode that can detect hydroquinone. By optimizing the differential pulse voltammetric method, a wide linearity range of 0.4 to 45 µM and a low detection limit of 0.06 µM were obtained. The developed sensor also expressed excellent repeatability (RSD up to 3.8%) and reproducibility (RSD below 5%). Interferences had an insignificant impact on the determination of analytes, making it possible to use this method for monitoring hydroquinone concentrations in tap water. This study introduces a new approach to the chemistry of materials and the environment and demonstrates that a careful selection of components can lead to new horizons in analytical chemistry.

Our study focuses on detecting mesotrione (MST) using an unmodified boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. This was the first application of cathodically pretreated BDD electrode for the detection of MST, based on its oxidation at a high potential value of +1.4 V. We theoretically examined the oxidation mechanism of MST trough the utilization of density functional theory (DFT) methodology. The utilized DPV method achieved a detection limit of 0.45 μM and showed satisfactory selectivity. The practical application of this method was demonstrated by examining corn-based food products. To ensure practical application of the method, MST was deliberately added to the samples to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the method was confirmed by using HPLC method. This environmentally-friendly approach can establish a solid foundation for future use in food analysis.

AB  - In this study, we successfully prepared a modified nickel oxide (NiO) carbon paste electrode to detect gallic acid (GA). NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by the simple, organic solvent-free chemical coprecipitation method, and the electrochemical properties of the electrode and GA were thoroughly investigated using CV, SWV, and EIS, while morphological properties were examined using ICP-OES, TEM, SEM, and XRD. Excellent catalytic characteristics are displayed by the developed material which facilitates the interaction of the target with the electrode surface. The obtained electrochemical information showed that the incorporation of NiO nanoparticles to the carbon paste electrode effectively facilitates electron transfer processes and enriches the catalytic response of the carbon paste electrode. The fabricated NiO/CPE sensor showed a satisfactory linear relationship between peak current and GA concentration in the broad range of 0.2–100 μM and 100–200 μM with a low detection limit of 0.04 μM and limit of quantification of 0.12 μM at pH 3 of BRBS as supporting electrolyte. The selectivity of the proposed method was satisfactory, with acceptable stability, considerable repeatability, and accurate reproducibility. Moreover, the good practicability performance could be effectuated at the NiO/CPE sensor for the quantitative analysis of GA in bourtree, walnut, primrose, and chamomile tea samples. The results were compared with the standard DPPH test and statistical processing of the results was performed, which confirmed the excellent agreement between the two methods. The developed method can provide a cost-effective, rapid, selective, and sensitive means for GA monitoring. When compared to other works, the developed technique has a wider linear range and lower LOD and LOQ, which makes this work a very important reference for the highly sensitive analysis of GA in the field of food safety.

abstract = "In this study, we successfully prepared a modified nickel oxide (NiO) carbon paste electrode to detect gallic acid (GA). NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by the simple, organic solvent-free chemical coprecipitation method, and the electrochemical properties of the electrode and GA were thoroughly investigated using CV, SWV, and EIS, while morphological properties were examined using ICP-OES, TEM, SEM, and XRD. Excellent catalytic characteristics are displayed by the developed material which facilitates the interaction of the target with the electrode surface. The obtained electrochemical information showed that the incorporation of NiO nanoparticles to the carbon paste electrode effectively facilitates electron transfer processes and enriches the catalytic response of the carbon paste electrode. The fabricated NiO/CPE sensor showed a satisfactory linear relationship between peak current and GA concentration in the broad range of 0.2–100 μM and 100–200 μM with a low detection limit of 0.04 μM and limit of quantification of 0.12 μM at pH 3 of BRBS as supporting electrolyte. The selectivity of the proposed method was satisfactory, with acceptable stability, considerable repeatability, and accurate reproducibility.

AB  - In this work, we successfully prepared a modified cobalt oxide (Co3O4) carbon paste electrode to detect Levofloxacin (LEV). By synthesizing Co3O4 nanoparticles through the chemical coprecipitation method, the electrochemical properties of the electrode and LEV were thoroughly investigated using CV, SWV, and EIS, while material properties were scrutinized using ICP-OES, TEM, SEM, and XRD. The results showed that the prepared electrode displayed a better electrocatalytic response than the bare carbon paste electrode. After optimizing SWV, the electrode exhibited a wide linear working range from 1 to 85 μM at pH 5 of BRBS as the supporting electrolyte. The selectivity of the proposed method was satisfactory, with good repeatability and reproducibility, strongly suggesting a potential application for determining LEV in real samples, particularly in pharmaceutical formulations. The practicality of the approach was demonstrated through good recoveries, and the morphology of the materials was found to be closely related to other parameters, indicating that the developed method can provide a cost-effective, rapid, selective, and sensitive means for LEV monitoring. Overall, this project has made significant progress towards developing a reliable method for detecting LEV and has opened up new opportunities for future research in this field.
