The effect of alkali metal (Li, Na, K) incorporation on the morphology and water vapor uptake properties of mesoporous Al2O3 has been studied. The modification of the raw material, pseudoboehmite, represented a mixture of low-temperature phases (γ + η + χ)-Al2O3, and has been done at low-temperature that does not change the phase ratio. A decrease in specific surface values and an average pores size increase were observed as a result of the introduction of metal cations by impregnation and subsequent thermal treatment. The influence of the content of the modifying metal on the adsorption ability of the obtained samples in relation to water vapours has been studied. It has been established that alkaline modification Al2O3 with the lithium cations did not result in adsorption ability improvement, whereas samples that were modified with sodium or potassium in the amount of 1.2 weight % and 2.6 weight %, respectively, possess a higher equilibrium capacity (by ~40%), as compared to that of the initial sample (Al2O3), and a sufficiently high adsorption rate.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles was synthesized by microwave decomposition of zinc acetate precursor. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized on nano-ZnO. The catalytic activity, physical, and chemical properties of immobilized HRP as well as the interaction between HRP and nano-ZnO was studied. The Nano-ZnO immobilized HRP showed a better property in the thermostability, active pH stability. The Nano-ZnO is more effective than free HRP in the removal of many phenolic compounds. The results show that nano-ZnO is strong functional materials for envrionment protection.

Metal-oxide nanoparticles with high surface area, controllable functionality and thermal and mechanical stability provide high affinity for enzymes when the next generation of biosensor applications are being considered. We report on the synthesis of metal-oxide-based nanoparticles (with different physical and chemical properties) using hydrothermal processing, photo-deposition and silane functionalization. Physical and chemical properties of the user-synthesized nanoparticles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Raman scattering, respectively. Thus, characterized metal-oxide-based nanoparticles served as nanosupports for the immobilization of soybean peroxidase enzyme (a model enzyme) through physical binding. The enzyme–nanosupport interface was evaluated to assess the optimum nanosupport characteristics that preserve enzyme functionality and its catalytic behavior. Our results showed that both the nanosupport geometry and its charge influence the functionality and catalytic behavior of the bio-metal-oxide hybrid system.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.
