This study introduces a novel PdAuBi alloy nanowires synthesized via a simple wet chemical route. The Au atoms doping enhances catalytic activity by reducing hydroxyl binding energy while Bi atoms increase hydroxyl coverage, promoting efficient ethylene oxidation and EG production. Remarkably, the PdAuBi nanowires exhibit Faraday efficiency exceeding 72% with liquid products selectivity of 87%, surpassing commercial Pd/C catalysts.

In this work, we present a unique one-step approach that simultaneously oxidizes and functionalizes graphite using <em>Calotropis gigantea</em> latex as a natural reagent. The latex functions as an oxidizing and functionalizing agent, introducing bioactive compounds and oxygen- and nitrogen-rich functional groups onto the GO surface under ambient conditions (Bio@HGO). This method minimizes the use of hazardous reagents and introduces a high density of surface functional groups on GO sheets suitable for metal ion interactions. The synthesized material was characterized using PXRD, FE-SEM, XPS, Raman, FTIR, and BET analyses to confirm the successful functionalization by using natural latex. The introduction of oxygenated and nitrogen-containing groups from <em>Calotropis gigantea</em> latex is found to improve dispersion stability and enhance the affinity for Ti<small>⁴⁺</small> metal ion detection. Electrochemical investigations have confirmed that the material exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity towards Ti<small>⁴⁺</small> ions, with a distinguishable and measurable response in the given experimental concentration range. This work highlights the potential of <em>Calotropis gigantea</em> latex-derived materials for the development of graphene-based sensors, offering a sustainable route for environmental monitoring of toxic metals such as Ti<small>⁴⁺</small>.

Herein, we report the controllable synthesis of novel 2D/1D graphene/silver–silver sulphide (Ag–Ag<small>₂</small>S) hybrid nanocomposites, wherein 1D Ag–Ag<small>₂</small>S nanowires (NWs) are uniformly anchored onto conductive graphene sheets, affording a hierarchical hybrid structure with tailored optoelectronic properties. Structural characterization <em>via</em> X-ray Diffraction (XRD) confirmed the coexistence of crystalline Ag, Ag<small>₂</small>S, and Ag<small>₂</small>O phases, evidencing both hybridization and partial oxidation during growth. Complementary Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) imaging revealed a homogeneous distribution of NWs across the graphene scaffold, ensuring maximized interfacial contact. Optical investigations demonstrated distinct band gap features (2.5 eV for Ag<small>₂</small>S, 3.8 eV for Ag NWs, and 4.6 eV for Ag<small>₂</small>O). In comparison, the composite exhibited dual transitions at 3.28 eV and 4.72 eV, attributed to interfacial charge transfer between Ag<small>₂</small>S and graphene, alongside enhanced plasmonic carrier dynamics. FTIR analyses further corroborated the hybrid composition, highlighting O–H and C<img alt=\"[double bond, length as m-dash]\" border=\"0\" src=\"https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif\"/>C stretching vibrations of graphene, C<img alt=\"[double bond, length as m-dash]\" border=\"0\" src=\"https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif\"/>O bands from surface PVP ligands, and Ag–S/Ag–O vibrational modes consistent with XRD assignments. Harnessing these tailored structural and electronic attributes, the graphene/Ag–Ag<small>₂</small>S heterostructures exhibited markedly superior photocatalytic activity toward methylene blue (MB) degradation, achieving a maximum efficiency of 89.55% under acidic conditions (pH 3) after 300 min of irradiation. Kinetic analysis revealed the highest rate constant (0.386 min<small>⁻¹</small>) for the graphene/Ag–Ag<small>₂</small>S nanocatalyst in acidic medium, surpassing both pristine Ag NWs and Ag–Ag<small>₂</small>S.

However, achieving such dispersion while preserving their intrinsic characteristics remains a challenge. This difficulty often arises because conventional methods can alter the characteristics of the Au itself. This study addresses this issue using silica, a support material known for its weak interaction with active metal species. Specifically, we developed a novel nanoporous silica support functionalised with hydrosilyl groups using a cage-siloxane as a building block. These groups enable on-site reduction of Au<small>³⁺</small> ions, allowing highly dispersed Au loading without introducing strongly interacting ligands. Importantly, the dispersion was retained even after calcination, indicating a confinement effect within the porous structure.

Driven by the success of cisplatin and other Pt-based drugs, transition metal complexes such as Pt(II/IV), Ru(II/III), Au(I/III), Cu(I/II), and Pd(II) have been widely investigated for their ability to interact with biomolecular targets, including DNA, proteins, and enzymes. However, the development of effective anticancer metallodrugs requires rigorous mechanistic validation, as this field is often hindered by overinterpretation and poorly designed studies. This review emphasizes the necessity of multi-assay strategies, integrating classical cytotoxicity and apoptosis assays with advanced methods such as CETSA and TPP, to clarify mechanisms of action. By correlating assay outcomes with molecular mechanisms, including redox modulation, apoptosis, proteasome inhibition, and non-apoptotic pathways such as ferroptosis and necroptosis, researchers can design more selective and multitargeted agents.
