“…Figure 2A–F illustrates SWCNTs as a nanotube forest, clearly showcasing the bundle structure through SEM analysis. Furthermore, the well‐defined crystallinity and absence of amorphous carbon on the tube walls in the bundle structure of SWCNTs are beneficial for interacting with cancer detection 14 . Previously, Nawaz et al 15 reported that CNTs exhibited thread‐like structures and good porosity and it was used for the breast cancer biomarker.…”

In this study, we present a novel functionalized single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) electrochemical aptasensor designed for the detection of HER2 breast cancer. The well‐organized SWCNTs were attained through a concentration‐based and single‐step ultrasonication‐directed assembly methodology, resulting in a well‐dispersed state and a thin, even coating on the transducer substrate. Well‐organized SWCNTs were systematically analyzed through X‐ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy and elemental mapping (TEM‐mapping) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) confirmed the superior quality and organization of the SWCNTs. Furthermore, the electrochemical sensor exhibited outstanding performance, showcasing the potential of the SWCNTs as an ideal material for such applications, including their anticancer activity against human breast cancer cells. The single‐step ultrasonication‐directed assembly approach not only enhances the electrochemical properties of SWCNT but holds promise as a potentially as versatile substrate for immobilizing enzymes, antibodies, and DNA. This versatility opens up opportunities for the creation of highly functional biosensors with broad medical applications. Overall, our findings highlight the scientific significance of SWCNTs in advancing electrochemical sensing technologies and their potential in combating breast cancer.

“…Sunlight effectively inhibited the deterioration of CVD in each specimen. We collected a total of 2 mL of the catalyst suspension in CVD at certain time intervals of 30 min to measure light penetration 23 . We then subjected the collected sample to centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 2 min and filtered it to separate the particles of g‐C 3 N 4 and ZnTiO 3 .…”

Photocatalysts that exhibit exceptional performance could be further enhanced for wastewater treatment, particularly in the degradation of organic pollutants and reduction of inorganic heavy metal ions concentrations. This study employed sol–gel techniques was used to create a Type II scheme g‐C3N4/ZnTiO3 (CZT‐2, CZT‐4, and CZT‐6) photocatalyst. FT‐IR, UV‐DRS, XRD, SEM, BET, HR‐TEM, and XPS analysis were conducted to investigate the physical and chemical properties of the g‐C3N4/ZnTiO3 photocatalyst's. An investigation was conducted to evaluate the photocatalytic performance of the synthesized samples. The samples exhibit remarkable efficacy in the degradation of organic contaminants. Among them, CZT‐2 showcased superior photocatalytic performance in the solar light‐induced photodegradation of crystal violet. The photocatalytic activity of g‐C3N4/ZnTiO3 has been significantly enhanced through the establishment of a Type‐II scheme at the interface. This innovative approach efficiently facilitates the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, thereby boosting the photodegradation activity. The discussion also included the chemical process between photocatalysts and crystal violet. The mechanism of the crystal violet‐photocatalyst reaction was also discussed. After undergoing five cycles of reuse, the photocatalyst that was manufactured demonstrated remarkable stability, leading to a reduction in the cost associated with wastewater treatment. The as‐synthesized g‐C3N4/ZnTiO3 composites are very safe for the environment, which suggests that the CZT‐2 composite is very good at getting rid of pollutants.

Biofouling is a significant problem in various industries, including marine, medical, and water treatment. It occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, attach to surfaces and form biofilms, which can lead to material degradation, decreased performance, and increased maintenance costs. Traditional approaches to mitigate biofouling include the use of biocides, physical cleaning, and chemical treatments. However, these methods have limitations, such as environmental concerns, short-term effectiveness, and development of resistant organisms. One alternative approach is the use of lichen-associated symbionts, which have been found to produce compounds that inhibit biofilm formation and growth. These compounds could be used to develop eco-friendly and sustainable antifouling coatings. Another promising approach is the use of nanotechnology to develop novel coatings that prevent biofouling. Nanomaterials can be engineered to have hydrophobic structures, which deter microorganisms from attaching to surfaces. They can also be designed to contain nano biocides, which can kill organisms that come into contact with the surfaces. Overall, the use of lichen-associated symbionts and nanotechnology holds great potential for developing effective and sustainable solutions to mitigate biofouling. However, further research is needed to optimize these approaches and ensure their safety and efficacy in various applications. This review offers a brief overview on the mechanisms of biofouling and evaluate the potential of using lichen-associated symbionts and nanotechnology to prevent or reduce biofouling.
