This paper investigates new alternative spinel materials as transparent conducting oxides (TCOs). The physical properties of spinel-type materials make them well suited for many industrial applications. Besides, it opens the door for new technological applications including the possibility of transparent flexible electronics. The structural p...

 Sustainable solutions for environmental restoration are crucial due to the increasing release of toxic substances in the ecosystem. The adsorption capacity to remove acridine red from an aqueous solution was investigated using the hydrochar of the spent mushroom substrate, which was obtained by the process of hydrothermal carbonization at a m...

 The modern trends in nutrition suggest the limitation of synthetic food additives or the subtitution with natural ones. Therefore, a huge interest for the application of various natural agents exists in order to protect food from a microbiological damage and extend product sustainability. The aim of this study was to determine antifungal acti...

 Preserving the balance of the aquatic ecosystem requires minimizing the impact of invasive species, such as the spiny-cheek crayfish Faxonius limosus from the Danube River. Valorizing the meat of spiny-cheek crayfish through the concept of zero waste not only helps in reducing its negative impact on biodiversity but also presents an opportuni...

 The toxicity of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is well recognized, and its use is highly regulated in EU countries, including restrictions under frameworks like the REACH regulation in the EU. In Republika Srpska, the use of Cr(VI) is also limited by current legal regulations, ensuring strict control over its use and discharge. Under REACH, hex...

 This study aims to dope silver (Ag) and fluorine (F) in zinc oxide (ZnO) for the improvement of photoresponse properties in ZnO since previous reports confirmed improvement of these properties using individual doping of F and Ag. The F-doped ZnO (FZO) and F and Ag co-doped ZnO (FAZO) nanorods were synthesized using a modified hydrothermal met...
