Recent studies have advocated the potential scope of nanoparticles and nanohybrids in pesticide sensing and removal from environmental samples. Metal oxide nanoparticles, metallic and bimetallic nanoparticles, halloysite, and carbon nanotubes have shown their efficacy in pesticide remediation. These materials can be coupled with conventional colorimetric, Surface Plasmon Resonance, fluorescence-based, aptameric, and enzyme-based approaches to detect pesticides belonging to organophosphate, organochlorine, carbamate, neonicotinoid, and atrazine groups. Degradation mechanisms like hydrolysis, photocatalysis, oxidation, and ozonation are employed by nanotechnology to remove pesticides from water and soil samples. However, certain issues like scalability, unavailability of rigorous testing protocols, and lack of uniform regulatory frameworks for nanomaterial synthesis limit its usage. Moreover, toxicity profiles of the majority of nanomaterials are lacking. Studies indicate that nanomaterials can be cytotoxic. Therefore, safety is another major concern. Hence, the present review aims to discuss the recent advances in nanoparticle and nanohybrid-mediated sensing and the removal of pesticides from real samples. Moreover, the chemistry behind pesticide sensing and removal will also be delineated. Finally, the review sheds light on existing limitations associated with nanomaterial-based pesticide sensing and remediation at the global scale.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100614,"journal":{"name":"Hybrid Advances","volume":"10 ","pages":"Article 100485"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143851944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because of the complex thermal history of L-DED AM, post processing heat-treatments are often required for stress relief and microstructure homogenization. This work investigates the mechanical performance of Inconel 625 specimens manufactured by laser directed energy deposition (L-DED) in the as-built and heat-treated conditions (900 °C for 2 h). Microstructure was characterized by optical and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy. Mechanical properties were assessed by Vickers hardness, tensile, and Charpy impact tests. The effects of build orientation and heat-treatment were discussed, and results were benchmarked to those of commercial Inconel 625 reported in the literature. Results show that the as-built samples developed a columnar dendritic microstructure with epitaxial grain growth, and the presence of Mo, Nb, and Si-rich interdendritic Laves phase. The post processing heat-treatment led to partial recrystallization and formation of Laves phase and carbides at grain boundaries, which caused a Charpy energy absorption reduction of about 40 % compared with the as-built condition. This behavior was similar to that observed for the wrought Inconel 625. Under tensile solicitations, the grain boundary embrittlement decreased the total elongation but did not compromise yield strength and ultimate tensile strength, which remained superior to those expected from Ni–Cr–Mo–Nb alloys, as reported by ASTM <span><span>B446-24</span><svg><path></path></svg></span>.
