Adsorption of phosphate in water using one-step synthesized zirconium-loaded reduced graphene oxide.

ABSTRACT: In this account, a one-step green hydrothermal method for zirconium-loaded reduced graphene oxide (RGO-Zr) adsorbent was developed in pure water. It is based on the formation of initially strong-coupling RGO-Zr nanocomposites followed by in situ reduction of GO to RGO during the hydrothermal treatment. The phosphate adsorption performance of the as-prepared nanocomposites was investigated in aqueous environment under various conditions. The characterization results of RGO-Zr nanocomposites showed that ZrO₂ was successfully integrated onto the RGO sheets in amorphous. The data from equilibrium phosphate adsorption on RGO-Zr revealed that the adsorption kinetics followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, where the adsorption isotherm fitted the Langmuir isotherm model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 27.71 mg P/g at pH 5 and 298 K. The improved phosphate adsorption on RGO-Zr was caused by the dispersion of ZrO₂ on the RGO surface. Furthermore, the phosphate adsorption was found insensitive to the increase in pH while it was sensitive to the increase in temperature. The coexisting anions of SO₄^2-, F^-, Cl^-, NO^3- and CO₃^2- affected the phosphate adsorption in a different way. Results suggest that the present RGO-Zr adsorbent has the potential for controlling phosphorus pollution in water.

One-step generation of S and N co-doped reduced graphene oxide for high-efficiency adsorption towards methylene blue.

Project description:S and N co-doped reduced graphene (S-N-rGO) nanohybrids were prepared by a one-step oil bath heating process using glutathione (GSH) as a green and mild co-reduction agent and a S and N source. It can be applied in the field of adsorption for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions. The efficient adsorption rate of S-N-rGO hybrids for MB (50 mg L-1) was observed with the best even within 2'07'' from blue solutions into colorless (the mass ratio GO : GSH = 60 : 200). Under this mass ratio, the effects of initial solution pH, temperature, initial concentration and contact time on adsorption towards MB were explored systematically. The results indicated that the adsorption capacity at 275 K could reach up to 598.8 mg g-1, the adsorption behavior followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the equilibrium adsorption data fitted the Langmuir isotherm well. Thermodynamic and kinetic analyses revealed that adsorption is an exothermic, spontaneous and physisorption process.

One-step electrochemically synthesized graphene oxide coated on polypyrrole nanowires as anode for microbial fuel cell.

Project description:A novel polypyrrole nanowires coated by graphene oxide (PPy-NWs/GO) has been successfully synthesized by one-step electrochemical method, whose structure was different from previously reported PPy/GO composites. The microbial fuel cell equipped with PPy-NWs/GO as anode was fabricated and compared with PPy-NWs ones. The SEM images show that the synthesized PPy-NWs/GO materials possess more surface areas than PPy-NWs. The electrochemical analysis indicated that PPy-NWs/GO anode had lower charge transfer resistance, which may be attributed to synergistic effect of them. The MFC equipped with PPy-NWs/GO anode have higher circle voltages and the power density is about 22.3 mW/m2, which is great higher than that of PPy-NWs about 15.9 mW/m2. These improvements of the MFCs may be due to more bacteria on the larger biofilms based on GO nanosheets, indicating that the PPy-NWs/GO is more effective anode for improving electricity generation.

The Adsorption of Methylene Blue on Eco-Friendly Reduced Graphene Oxide.

Project description:Recently, green-prepared oxidized graphenes have attracted huge interest in water purification and wastewater treatment. Herein, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was prepared by a scalable and eco-friendly method, and its potential use for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from water systems, was explored. The present work includes the green protocol to produce rGO and respective spectroscopical and morphological characterizations, as well as several kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamic analyses to successfully demonstrate the adsorption of MB. The pseudo-second-order model was appropriated to describe the adsorption kinetics of MB onto rGO, suggesting an equilibrium time of 30 min. Otherwise, the Langmuir model was more suitable to describe the adsorption isotherms, indicating a maximum adsorption capacity of 121.95 mg g-1 at 298 K. In addition, kinetics and thermodynamic analyses demonstrated that the adsorption of MB onto rGO can be treated as a mixed physisorption-chemisorption process described by H-bonding, electrostatic, and ? - ? interactions. These results show the potential of green-prepared rGO to remove cationic dyes from wastewater systems.

Ni Nanoparticles on the Reduced Graphene Oxide Surface Synthesized in Supercritical Isopropanol.

Project description:Nanocomposites based on ferromagnetic nickel nanoparticles and graphene-related materials are actively used in various practical applications such as catalysis, sensors, sorption, etc. Therefore, maintaining their dispersity and homogeneity during deposition onto the reduced graphene oxide substrate surface is of crucial importance to provide the required product characteristics. This paper demonstrates a new, reproducible method for preparing a tailored composite based on nickel nanoparticles on the reduced graphene oxide surface using supercritical isopropanol treatment. It has been shown that when a graphene oxide film with previously incorporated Ni2+ salt is treated with isopropanol at supercritical conditions, nickel (2+) is reduced to Ni (0), with simultaneous deoxygenation of the graphene oxide substrate. The resulting composite is a solid film exhibiting magnetic properties. XRD, FTIR, Raman, TEM, and HRTEM methods were used to study all the obtained materials. It was shown that nickel nanoparticles on the surface of the reduced graphene oxide had an average diameter of 27 nm and were gradually distributed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide sheets. The data obtained allowed us to conduct a reconnaissance discussion of the mechanism of composite fabrication in supercritical isopropanol.

Label-Free and Highly-Sensitive Detection of Ochratoxin A Using One-Pot Synthesized Reduced Graphene Oxide/Gold Nanoparticles-Based Impedimetric Aptasensor.

Project description:Ochratoxin A (OTA) primarily obtained by the genera aspergillus and penicillium, is one of the toxic substances for different organs and systems of the human body such as the kidney, liver, neurons and the immune system. Moreover, it is considered to cause tumors and fetal malformation even at a very low concentration. Fast and sensitive assay for detection of OTA at ultralow levels in foods and agricultural products has been an increasing demand. In this study, a new label-free electrochemical biosensor based on three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide/gold nanoparticles/aptamer for OTA detection was constructed. The 3D-rGO/Au NPs nanocomposites were firstly synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal process under optimized experimental conditions. The 3D-rGO/Au NPs with considerable particular surface area and outstanding electrical conductivity was then coated on a glass carbon electrode to provide tremendous binding sites for -SH modified aptamer via the distinctive Au-S linkage. The presence of OTA was specifically captured by aptamer and resulted in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) signal response accordingly. The constructed impedimetric aptasensor obtained a broad linear response from 1 pg/mL to 10 ng/mL with an LOD of 0.34 pg/mL toward OTA detection, highlighting the excellent sensitivity. Satisfactory reproducibility was also achieved with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 1.393%. Moreover, the proposed aptasensor obtained a good recovery of OTA detection in red wine samples within the range of 93.14 to 112.75% along with a low LOD of 0.023 ng/mL, indicating its applicability for OTA detection in real samples along with economical, specific, susceptible, fast, easy, and transportable merits.

One-step assembly of 2H-1T MoS<sub>2</sub>:Cu/reduced graphene oxide nanosheets for highly efficient hydrogen evolution.

Project description:The transition metal dichagenides and their metallic 1T structure are attracting contemporary attentions for applications in high-performance devices because their peculiar optical and electrical properties. The single and few layers 1T structure is generally obtained by mechanical or chemical exfoliation. This work presents facile one-step synthesis of 2H-1T MoS2:Cu/reduced graphene oxide nanosheets. The experiment results indicated that the MoS2 and MoS2:Cu prepared by simple chemical solution reaction possessed 2H-1T structures. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) incorporation further induced the phase transition from 2H-MoS2 to 1T-MoS2 and morphology transition from granular/nanosheet to more nanosheet. The 2H-1T structure and 2H → 1T phase transition, together with the Cu doping and interface effect between the MoS2 and rGO, remarkably enhanced the conduction and photoconduction of the nanostructures. Thus, Cu doping and rGO incorporation obviously enhanced the catalytic activity and its stability, making the MoS2:Cu/rGO nanosheet a most active and stable catalyst for hydrogen evolution. This work clearly indicates that the 1T-MoS2 nanosheets with high catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution can be easily obtained by the facile low temperature chemical method and induction of rGO.

One-Step Laser Patterned Highly Uniform Reduced Graphene Oxide Thin Films for Circuit-Enabled Tattoo and Flexible Humidity Sensor Application.

Project description:The conversion of graphene oxide (GO) into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is imperative for the electronic device applications of graphene-based materials. Efficient and cost-effective fabrication of highly uniform GO films and the successive reduction into rGO on a large area is still a cumbersome task through conventional protocols. Improved film casting of GO sheets on a polymeric substrate with quick and green reduction processes has a potential that may establish a path to the practical flexible electronics. Herein, we report a facile deposition process of GO on flexible polymer substrates to create highly uniform thin films over a large area by a flow-enabled self-assembly approach. The self-assembly of GO sheets was successfully performed by dragging the trapped solution of GO in confined geometry, which consisted of an upper stationary blade and a lower moving substrate on a motorized translational stage. The prepared GO thin films could be selectively reduced and facilitated from the simple laser direct writing process for programmable circuit printing with the desired configuration and less sample damage due to the non-contact mode operation without the use of photolithography, toxic chemistry, or high-temperature reduction methods. Furthermore, two different modes of the laser operating system for the reduction of GO films turned out to be valuable for the construction of novel graphene-based high-throughput electrical circuit boards compatible with integrating electronic module chips and flexible humidity sensors.

Reduced graphene oxide-loaded nanocomposite scaffolds for enhancing angiogenesis in tissue engineering applications.

Project description:Tissue engineering combines cells, scaffolds and signalling molecules to synthesize tissues in vitro. However, the lack of a functioning vascular network severely limits the effective size of a tissue-engineered construct. In this work, we have assessed the potential of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), a non-protein pro-angiogenic moiety, for enhancing angiogenesis in tissue engineering applications. Polyvinyl alcohol/carboxymethyl cellulose (PVA/CMC) scaffolds loaded with different concentrations of rGO nanoparticles were synthesized via lyophilization. Characterization of these scaffolds showed that the rGO-loaded scaffolds retained the thermal and physical properties (swelling, porosity and in vitro biodegradation) of pure PVA/CMC scaffolds. In vitro cytotoxicity studies, using three different cell lines, confirmed that the scaffolds are biocompatible. The scaffolds containing 0.005 and 0.0075% rGO enhanced the proliferation of endothelial cells (EA.hy926) in vitro. In vivo studies using the chick chorioallantoic membrane model showed that the presence of rGO in the PVA/CMC scaffolds significantly enhanced angiogenesis and arteriogenesis.
