General description

Copper sulfide shows metal-like electrical conductivity, chemical-sensing capability and suitable characteristics for absorption of solar energy. Cu63 NMR, X ray photoelectron spectroscopy,2 copper sulfide CuS was studied in detail. Copper sulfide is a monovalent and oxidation state was determined to be 2.2

Application


  • Pharmacological Study on Ocfentanil: Research on the pharmacological properties of Ocfentanil, including its biochemistry and potent analgesic effects, was explored in a study where toxicology and behavioral impacts on zebrafish larvae and mice were assessed, confirming its potential for pain management applications (Bilel et al., 2023).

  • Ocfentanil in Surgical Procedures: Ocfentanil′s role in surgical applications was highlighted in a study where new analytical methods were developed for its detection in biological samples, emphasizing its significance in pharmacological studies and surgical pain management (Jung et al., 2020).

  • Ocfentanil Solution for Pharmacological Studies: The development and validation of a method for detecting Ocfentanil in hair samples indicate its critical role in forensic and pharmacological research, aiding in studies focused on its stability and effects within clinical settings (Allibe et al., 2021).

A heterostructure formed by a conjugated polymer and semiconducting nanoparticles was produced. The conjugated polymer was synthesized by oxidative copolymerization of 3-thiopheneacetic acid and 3-hexylthiophene, thus obtaining an amphiphilic polythiophene that allows the formation of a stable polymer layer at
