Food safety is the primary goal for food and drink manufacturers. Cleaning and disinfection
practices applied to the processing environment are vital to maintain this safety; yet, current …

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are zero-dimensional (0D) materials having unique
luminescence properties due to quantum confinement and edge effect. Coupled with their …

The present study focused on pulse dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma activated
persulfate (PS) for sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) degradation in water. The results showed that …

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are a zero-dimensional (0D) carbon-based nanomaterial
with a unique quantum confinement effect that have captured the eyes of many researchers …

Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is an antibiotic and widely present in aquatic environments, so it
presents a serious threat to human health and sustainable development. A dielectric barrier …

Here we numerically demonstrate that photolytic processes induced by external ultraviolet
(UV) sources considerably affect the chemical properties of plasma–water systems. When …

Cold plasma (CP) is an ionised gas containing excited molecules and ions, radicals, and
free electrons, and which emits electric fields and UV radiation. CP is potently antimicrobial …

Deadly diseases are caused by pathogenic bacteria and viruses that spread, among other
means, through air circulating systems; hence, it is important to focus on pathogen removal …

Cold plasma generated in air at atmospheric pressure is an extremely effective antimicrobial
agent, with proven efficacy against clinically relevant bacterial biofilms. The specific mode of …

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance have led to a dire need for
innovative, alternative intervention strategies for infectious diseases, such as cold plasma …
