The development of advanced electrode materials with superior electrochemical performance is imperative to meet the growing demands of modern energy storage technologies. In this study, we report a novel MnPO-polyaniline (PMP) nanohybrid synthesized oxidative polymerization of aniline onto hydrothermally prepared MnPO (MP) nanoclusters. The resulting materials were thoroughly characterized using structural, morphological, chemical, and elemental analysis techniques.

In the present work, we demonstrate the fabrication of a hybrid nanostructure comprising graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) integrated with Cu-ZnS, strategically engineered for dual functionality in photocatalytic and supercapacitor domains. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful formation of the Cu-ZnS/g-CN composite, revealing a synergistic coexistence of hexagonal and cubic ZnS crystal phases.

Metastable and rarely reported GO warped tetragonal phase t-lanthanum vanadate nanocomposites (GO@LaVO-NCs) are reported for the sensitive electrochemical determination of antifungal drug Clioquinol (CQ). The hydrothermal method was adopted for synthesis of GO@LaVO-NCs. The electrochemical performance of CQ was examined using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential plus voltammetry (DPV) at GO@LaVO-NCs modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE).
