Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been widely applied to treat textile wastewater, in which synthetic dyes are among the main pollutants. Some of these processes, such as the Fenton reaction, exhibit enhanced efficiency when coupled with radia...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) represent a promising low-cost photovoltaic technology with relatively high conversion efficiency and a simple fabrication process. Natural dyes have drawn growing interest compared to ruthenium-based dyes since the...
Water pollution from industrial dyes is a critical challenge due to the resistance of these types of compounds to degradation and potentially harmful effects on living organisms and human health. In this study, the electrochemical degradation of meth...
Heritage materials science techniques, including pXRF, FTIR-ATR, XRD, microphotography, and microsampling, have peeled back concealed layers of polychromy on a Roman Mithraic altar near Hadrian’s Wall. The results break new ground by exposing t...
The trend toward developing sustainable nanotechnology has driven researchers to explore environmentally friendly techniques for nanomaterial fabrication. This review examines the utilisation of Commelina benghalensis plant extracts as an effective b...
Hair dyes are widely used across all socioeconomic groups and regions worldwide. However, some studies indicate that these products contain substances known to be toxic to a wide variety of organisms. Moreover, dyeing practices generate effluents tha...
Water polluted by dye colorants has been on the rise in the last decade. This is due to the over reliance on the textile industry, and it is holding a high economic value in most countries. This industry is the highest consumer of fresh water whilst...
The correct identification of historical artists’ earth pigments is mandatory for cultural, scholarly, and historical applications. This paper focuses on the definition of the distinctive mineralogical, geological, and geochemical properties an...
This Perspective sets out to raise awareness about the chemical and photophysical properties of an assortment of blue colorants; it is generally regarded that blue is the most popular color worldwide and is recognized for its serenity and calming eff...
