For this purpose, electrospun nanofibers were produced as control (PVA), black carrot extract-incorporated (PVAB), and extract+SnO₂ incorporated (PVASN), and their properties were compared. Morphological results showed the formation of regular ultrafine nanostructures, and differences between nanofiber samples were evaluated by measuring fiber diameters. Nanofiber sizes increased with the addition of black carrot and SnO₂. Elemental analysis was performed to obtain information about the concentration in the nanofibers. Different O and Sn concentrations indicated that important constituents of anthocyanins and SnO₂ were attached to the samples. The location of C, O, Sn atoms was determined by Energy Spectrum Analysis (EDS) color mapping, which confirmed the attachment of Sn in the PVASN sample. To elucidate the relationship between spoilage and the absorption of volatiles from smoked salmon fillets, nanofibers and fillets were kept together in a petri dish at room temperature. After being stored with salmon meat, the PVASN sample showed fewer entanglements without any defects. Upon exposure to volatiles, molecular structures changed, and water contact angle values decreased. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results indicated the state of the polymer matrix and SnO₂. Chemical bond interactions with released volatiles effected the peak parameters of nanofibers. 3D and 2D surface topographical images of PVASN were also compared before and after storage using a profilometer.

The first involves recycling the spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and the second involves the degradation of the antibiotics found in water. It has been possible to synthesize reduced graphene oxide (RGO) from used LIBs that have also been doped with boron (BRGO). A nanocomposite (BWO/BR) is formed when BRGO and a visible active Bi₂WO₆ (BWO) are mixed together. The structural, morphological, and spectroscopic characterizations confirm the formation of BRGO, BWO, and BWO/BR nanocomposite. The antibiotics tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) have been tested for photocatalytic degradation with all three of the newly made materials. It is found to decrease the bandgap of BWO (2.73 eV) to 2.22 eV upon combining with BRGO. Under visible light, BWO/BR exhibits elevated TCH degradation (93 %), which is found to increase in the presence of sunlight (95 %). In the presence of BWO/BR, the degradation of CIP was reported to be 72, 95, and 97.5 % in UV, visible, and sunlight, respectively. The effect of reaction conditions like pH, amount of catalyst and initial concentration were examined towards degradation of TCH and CIP in presence of BWO/BR. It has been discovered that pH 6 and 8 are ideal for TCH and CIP, respectively. Studies on TCH and CIP degradation in pharmaceutical effluent were also conducted; in the presence of BWO/BR and visible light, the degradation efficiencies were determined to be 69 and 72 %, respectively. All of the zone of inhibition of <em>E. Coli,</em> L. <em>monocytogenes, S. typhimurium,</em> and <em>S. aureus</em> were examined in presence of BWO/BR before and after exposure to visible light for 90 min, during which time a near-zero zone of inhibition was seen.
