Composition-Tunable Optical Properties of Zn x Cd(1 − x)S Quantum Dot–Carboxymethylcellulose Conjugates: Towards One-Pot Green Synthesis of Multifunctional Nanoplatforms for Biomed... by Alexandra A. P. Mansur, Herman S. Mansur, Anderson J. Caires, Rafael L. Mansur, Luiz C. Oliveira

“…Moreover, these conjugates presented photocatalytic activity for photodegradation of methylene blue used as model organic industrial pollutant in water. Hence, composition-tunable optical properties of ternary Zn x Cd1 − x S (x = 0–1) fluorescent alloyed QDs was achieved using a facile eco-friendly aqueous processing route, which can offer promising alternatives for developing innovative nanomaterials for applications in nanomedicine and environmental science and technology.…”

Electrochemical Characterization and Detection of Lead in Water Using SPCE Modified with BiONPs/PANI by Enyioma C. Okpara, Samuel Che Nde, Omolola E. Fayemi, Eno E. Ebenso

“…The need for constant assessment of river water qualities for both aquatic and other biological survival has emerged a top priority, due to increasing exposure to industrial pollutants. A disposable screen print carbon electrode was modified with a conductive polymer (PANI) and Zn and/or Cu oxides NPs, obtained through bioreduction in citrus peel extracts (lemon and orange), for ultra-sensitive detection of PB²⁺, in the Crocodile River water sample. …”
