In the realm of electrochemical sensor application, the development and fabrication of semiconducting metal oxides with the integration of conducting polymers for the trace-level detection of pharmaceutical medicines garnered considerable interest. Herein, we reported facile cadmium oxide decorated with polypyrrole nanotubes fabricated on a glassy carbon electrode (CdO@PPy/GCE) for efficient determination of antihistamine drug promethazine hydrochloride (PMH). The as-synthesized CdO@PPy composite was characterized by various analytical tools like X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic activity of the modified electrode for PMH detection was examined by voltammetry and amperometric methods, and the modified electrode exhibited lower charge transfer resistance compared to the bare GCE. Under the optimized condition, the fabricated electrode shows a wide linear range (50−550 μM), better sensitivity (0.13 μAμM −1 cm −2 ), low detection limit (10.83 nM) (S/N = 3), and excellent selectivity and reproducibility toward PMH detection. Moreover, the modified GCE depicted eminent practical ability for PMH detection in lake water and pharmaceutical tablets.

This works presents a study on anti friction properties, of fully formulated SAE 20W 40 grade motor oil dispersed with surface modified WS2and MoS2nanoparticles. WS2and MoS2particles of 0.05 wt. % and 0.1 wt. % have been dispersed in SAE 20W 40 motor oil by Sonication and tested for tribological behavior on pin on disc apparatus as per ASTM G99 standards. The friction coefficient values for base oil and oil dispersed with WS2and MoS2nanoparticles have been evaluated and compared to obtain the performance analysis. Performance graphs have plotted for the base oil and oil dispersed with nanoparticles for comparison. The oils with dispersed nanoparticles have shown enhanced performance in comparison to the base oils in terms of anti friction properties.
