Combined Structural and Plasmonic Enhancement of Nanometer-Thin Film Photocatalysis for Solar-Driven Wastewater Treatment [PDF]
Titanium dioxide (TiO$_2$) thin films are commonly used as photocatalytic materials. Here, we enhance the photocatalytic activity of devices based on TiO$_2$ by combining nanostructured glass substrates with metallic plasmonic nanostructures. We achieve a three-fold increase of the catalyst's surface area through nanoscale three-dimensional patterning ...

Removal of persistent organic contaminants from wastewater using a hybrid electrochemical-granular activated carbon (GAC) system [PDF]
A three-dimensional (3D) electrochemical flow-through reactor equipped with GAC packed bed, polarized by the electric field, was evaluated for the removal of persistent organic contaminants from real sewage effluent. The performance of the reactor was investigated for 27 consecutive runs at two anodic current densities, i.e., low current density (LCD ...

Dried Blood Spot Analysis for Simultaneous Quantification of Antiepileptic Drugs Using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rationale Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling for the therapeutic drug monitoring of antiepileptic drugs offers practical advantages, including minimal invasiveness and ease of collection. However, for precise therapeutic management, its accuracy and reliability in quantification need to be validated.
