Nanomaterials MDPI

🌟 Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! 🌟   This year marks the 15th anniversary of our journal—a journey shaped by collaboration and commitment to advancing research.   📽️ Take a moment to watch our video, featuring an introduction to our journal, our Section Editors-in-Chief, key achievements, and highlights from last year, including webinars, scholar visits, and conference booths. Full video available at https://lnkd.in/ex2vNu5d   Here’s to another year of meaningful contributions to the research community.

Check out our recent publication on #biosensor  👉 mdpi.com/3142086 A Low-Cost Electrochemical Cell Sensor Based on MWCNT-COOH/α-Fe₂O₃ for Toxicity Detection of Drinking Water Disinfection Byproducts by Ying Liu, Zhipeng Zhang, Yuling Wu, Huan Yang, Jiao Qu and Xiaolin Zhu In this study, the authors developed a low-cost and simple cellular electrochemical sensor utilizing a pencil graphite electrode (PGE) modified with carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) and nano-iron (III) oxide (α-Fe₂O₃). This sensor demonstrated efficacy in the sensitive toxicity detection of disinfection byproducts commonly found in drinking water. The half inhibitory concentration (IC50) values for 2-chlorophenylacetonitrile (2-CPAN), 3-chlorophenylacetonitrile (3-CPAN), and 4-chlorophenylacetonitrile (4-CPAN) against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells were measured at 660.69, 831.76, and 812.83 µM, respectively. This research offers novel technical approaches and scientific insights for toxicity detection and the safety assessment of emerging contaminants.

Check out our recent publication on #photocatalysis  👉 mdpi.com/3117634 Tin(IV)Porphyrin-Based Porous Coordination Polymers as Efficient Visible Light Photocatalyst for Wastewater Remediation by Nirmal Kumar Shee and Hee-Joon Kim 📌 Sn(IV)porphyrin; carboxylic acid ligand; porous coordination polymers; photocatalyst; water remediation In this paper, the authors reported Sn(IV)porphyrin-based two-dimensional porous coordination polymers and their application to the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants in water under visible light irradiation. Incorporating the carboxylate linkage into Sn(IV)porphyrin induced a rigid structural transformation, yielding permanent porosity, thermodynamic stability, interesting morphology, and excellent photocatalytic degradation activity against amaranth and tetracycline antibiotics under visible light. The high degradation rate and low catalyst loading make these porous coordination polymers more efficient than other reported catalysts. This study holds great promise for treating dyeing wastewater using porphyrin-based photocatalysts.
