Bi-MOFs are promising photocatalysts due to their large surface area, tunable porosity, and unique electronic properties that are favorable for visible light absorption. In this study, Bi-MOFs were synthesized using a solvothermal method, with the incorporation of silver (Ag⁺) and ammonium (NH₄ ⁺) ions to enhance their photocatalytic performance. The photocatalytic activity of Bi-MOF, Ag/Bi-MOF, and NH₄ ⁺/Ag⁺/Bi-MOF was evaluated by measuring the degradation rates of TC and SMX in aqueous solutions under visible light. The experiments demonstrated that Bi-MOFs effectively degraded both antibiotics, with the Ag/Bi-MOF derivative showing superior performance due to improved charge separation and light absorption. NH₄ ⁺/Ag⁺/Bi-MOF also exhibited significant photocatalytic activity, influenced by the presence of ammonium ions, which altered the surface chemistry of the catalyst and affected the adsorption and degradation processes.

Human blood serum is a reservoir of high molecular weight fraction (HMWF) and low molecular weight fraction (LMWF) proteins. The LMWF proteins are considered disease marker proteins and are often suppressed by HMWF proteins during analysis. This issue is addressed by using a filtration device to isolate the filtrate portion from blood serum samples having biomarker proteins up to the size of the cutoff value of the filtration device. In this research, 100 kDa filter devices are employed to obtain the filtrate portions from blood serum samples of type II diabetes mellitus patients and healthy volunteers, followed by characterization using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) as the SERS substrate. By using this approach, the collected filtrate is expected to contain marker proteins at a size of <100 kDa, which are associated with type II diabetes. These marker proteins are in a narrow size range (cutoff value of 100 kDa). Hence, they may be more easily identified by their characteristic SERS spectral features as compared to their analysis in the respective whole blood serum samples due to the exclusion of larger size proteins. These proteins that are present in the filtrate portions of type II diabetes may include adiponectin, C-reactive protein, insulin, leptin, RBP4, IL-6, TNF-α, Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21), albumin, transthyretin, alpha-antitrypsin, transferrin, apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) and fetuin-A.

Moreover, the SERS spectral data sets of various samples are classified using two chemometric approaches: principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA).

However, the simultaneous activation and cleavage of C-H, C-C, and C-O bonds on Pt/CeO₂-based catalysts may substantially impede the selective activation of C-H bonds during the CO₂-ODP process.

The Palm Islands Natural Reserve in Lebanon is a UNESCO-designated marine protected area and home to endangered species. However, the reserve faces significant threats from pollution, including heavy metals and microplastics, exacerbated by nearby Tripoli's escalating contamination.
