This invention introduces a novel catalyst for decontamination of aqueous environments, providing a continuous and highly efficient solution for treating polluted water. The key technical solution is a perovskite material, specifically (where x is between 0.15 and 0.2), synthesized via a solid-state method to create inherent oxygen defects. The key inventive feature is its unique ability to generate reactive oxygen species (RoS), including hydroxyl and superoxide radicals, both in the presence of light (UV) and, crucially, in complete darkness, eliminating the need for external light sources or additional chemical agents.
This invention details an innovative and eco-friendly process for synthesizing Cm ZnO/NiO nanocomposites using Cucumis maderaspatanus L. (CmL.) leaf extract as a sustainable stabilizing agent, thereby significantly reducing the use of hazardous chemicals in nanoparticle synthesis. The method involves preparing a concentrated CmL leaf extract, combining it with zinc and nickel precursor solutions, followed by controlled heating, purification, and calcination to optimize the nanocomposite's properties.
This invention presents a groundbreaking, highly stable, and corrosion-free ceramic catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), addressing critical limitations of existing metal-based catalysts in terms of activity, cost, and durability in harsh electrochemical environments. The lead-free, perovskite ABC? type catalyst, specifically a carbon-doped barium zirconium titanium oxide, is precisely composed (0.2 Ba, 0.001 C, 0.6 O, 0.004 Zr, 0.196 Ti) and synthesized via an energy-efficient 2.45 GHz microwave sintering method, which drastically reduces processing time and energy consumption while ensuring homogeneous gra
This invention presents a novel, plant-based wound healing formulation and its preparation method, offering a safe, effective, and affordable alternative to conventional therapies that may cause side effects or prove ineffective. The formulation is an ointment containing Ipomoea staphylina stem extract (0.5% to 10% by weight, optimally 1% to 5%) combined with a base of hard paraffin, soft paraffin, and wool fat. The preparation method involves heating the paraffin and wool fat mixture to 40 50°C, then adding
This invention introduces novel PROTAC (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera) compounds designed for the selective and irreversible degradation of the PARP1 protein, a crucial DNA repair enzyme overexpressed in various cancers. The key technical solution involves bifunctional molecules that hijack the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to eliminate PARP1, a significant advancement over traditional, reversible PARP inhibitors. The key inventive feature lies in the rational design of these PROTACs, integrating a novel PARP1 binding ligand, an E3 ligase recruiter (e.g., pomalidomide), and an optimized chemical linker to form a stable ternary complex.
This invention presents a groundbreaking approach to energy storage: Sustainable Aqueous Zinc-Ion Batteries (AZIBs) that utilize reject water from water purification systems as a primary electrolyte. The key technical solution involves repurposing this waste stream, rich in salts and minerals, into a functional, low-cost battery component. A key inventive feature is the electrochemical preparation method for a stable zinc-intercalated nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) cathode, where the reject water itself is employed during the deposition and cycling processes.
This invention introduces a novel Antimicrobial Varnish Composition designed to protect wooden surfaces, particularly high-value doors, from biological damage and environmental factors. The key technical solution involves a natural, eco-friendly formulation comprising myrrh resin, linseed oil, turpentine, boric acid, and a powerful blend of antimicrobial plant extracts (neem, lemon, cinnamon, clove, jatropha, mango, acacia). A key inventive feature is the incorporation of green synthesized zinc oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles, which provide superior UV protection, oxidative resistance, and enhanced antimicrobial activity while maintaining transparency or offering optional tinting.
This invention introduces Monochloro Benalaxyl, a novel fungicide and an efficient synthesis method for its production. The key technical solution addresses the slow pace of traditional pesticide discovery by utilizing an intermediate derivatization approach, modifying the known fungicide benalaxyl. The key inventive feature is the new compound itself, Methyl 2-(3-chloro-2,6-dimethyl-N-(2-phenylacetyl)anilino) propanoate, synthesized through a controlled chlorination process using hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid.
This invention introduces a novel Zn-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) infused microporous polyurethane foam for efficient textile effluent treatment. The key technical solution involves a specific composite material where Zn-Al LDH nanostructures (0.1-0.5 wt%) are uniformly blended into a polyol composition (containing polyether polyol, surfactant, catalyst, and water as a blowing agent), which is then reacted with an isocyanate (45-60 wt%) to form the microporous foam. The key inventive feature is the successful integration of Zn-Al LDH within the polyurethane foam matrix, enabling a dual mechanism of adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of textile dyes.
