Preparation of polydopamine-coated graphene oxide/Fe₃O₄ imprinted nanoparticles for selective removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in water.

ABSTRACT: Antibiotics in water have recently caused increasing concerns for public health and ecological environments. In this work, we demonstrated polydopamine-coated graphene oxide/Fe₃O₄ (PDA@GO/Fe₃O₄) imprinted nanoparticles coupled with magnetic separation for fast and selective removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in water. The nanoparticles were prepared by the self-polymerization of dopamine using sarafloxacin as a template. The imprinted PDA film of 10~20 nm uniformly covered the surface of GO/Fe₃O₄ providing selective binding sites. The nanoparticles showed rapid binding and a large capacity (70.9 mg/g). The adsorption data fitted well the Langmuir and pseudo-second order kinetic equations. The nanoparticles could be easily separated by a magnet following the adsorption and then regenerated by simple washing for repetitive adsorptions. The nanoparticles were successfully used for the removal of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in seawater, with removal efficiencies of more than 95%. The proposed strategy has potentials for efficient removal of antibiotics in environmental water.

Specific and Sensitive Detection of Tartrazine on the Electrochemical Interface of a Molecularly Imprinted Polydopamine-Coated PtCo Nanoalloy on Graphene Oxide.

Project description:A novel electrochemical sensor designed to recognize and detect tartrazine (TZ) was constructed based on a molecularly imprinted polydopamine (MIPDA)-coated nanocomposite of platinum cobalt (PtCo) nanoalloy-functionalized graphene oxide (GO). The nanocomposites were characterized and the TZ electrochemical detection performance of the sensor and various reference electrodes was investigated. Interestingly, the synergistic effect of the strong electrocatalytic activity of the PtCo nanoalloy-decorated GO and the high TZ recognition ability of the imprinted cavities of the MIPDA coating resulted in a large and specific response to TZ. Under the optimized conditions, the sensor displayed linear response ranges of 0.003-0.180 and 0.180-3.950 µM, and its detection limit was 1.1 nM (S/N = 3). The electrochemical sensor displayed high anti-interference ability, good stability, and adequate reproducibility, and was successfully used to detect TZ in spiked food samples. Comparison of important indexes of this sensor with those of previous electrochemical sensors for TZ revealed that this sensor showed improved performance. This surface-imprinted sensor provides an ultrasensitive, highly specific, effective, and low-cost method for TZ determination in foodstuffs.

Dielectric Elastomers with Liquid Metal and Polydopamine-Coated Graphene Oxide Inclusions.

Project description:Suspending microscale droplets of liquid metals like eutectic gallium-indium (EGaIn) in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has been shown to dramatically enhance electrical permittivity without sacrificing the elasticity of the host PDMS matrix. However, increasing the dielectric constant of EGaIn-PDMS composites beyond previously reported values requires high EGaIn loading fractions (>50% by volume) that can result in substantial increases in density and loss of material integrity. In this work, we enhance permittivity without further increasing EGaIn loading by incorporating polydopamine (PDA)-coated graphene oxide (GO) and partially reduced GO. In particular, we show that the combination of EGaIn and PDA-GO within a PDMS matrix results in an elastomer composite with a high dielectric constant (∼10-57), a low dissipation factor (∼0.01), and rubber-like compliance and elasticity.

Polydopamine-coated graphene nanosheets as efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction.

Project description:Polydopamine-modified graphene (G-PDA) materials were synthesized by in situ polymerization of a dopamine monomer on the surface of graphene oxide. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) has confirmed that new N-containing functional groups are formed during the synthesis process, which result in the excellent electrocatalytic activity of the composite towards ORR in terms of onset potential, number of electron transferred and limiting current density. The electrocatalytic activity of the optimized G-PDA sample is better than N-doped graphene and comparable to the commercial 20 wt% Pt/C catalyst. Furthermore, compared with the Pt-based catalysts, the G-PDA showed superior stability and methanol resistance, which favored its practical applications in fuel cells.

Zn2+ removal from the aqueous environment using a polydopamine/hydroxyapatite/Fe3O4 magnetic composite under ultrasonic waves.

Project description:In this study, an easily magnetically recoverable polydopamine (PDA)-modified hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Fe3O4 magnetic composite (HAp/Fe3O4/PDA) was suitably synthesized to exploit its adsorption capacity to remove Zn2+ from aqueous solution, and its structural properties were thoroughly examined using different analytical techniques. The effect of multiple parameters like pH, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, adsorbent dose, and initial Zn2+ concentration on the adsorption efficiency was assessed using RSM-CCD. According to the acquired results, by increasing the adsorbent quantity, ultrasonic power, ultrasonic time, and pH, the Zn2+ adsorption efficiency increased and the interaction between the variables of ultrasonic power/Zn2+ concentration, pH/Zn2+ concentration, pH/absorbent dose, and ultrasonic time/adsorbent dose has a vital role in the Zn2+ adsorption. The uptake process of Zn2+ onto PDA/HAp/Fe3O4 followed Freundlich and pseudo-second order kinetic models. The maximum capacity of Zn2+ adsorption (q m) obtained by PDA/HAp/Fe3O4, HAp/Fe3O4, and HAp was determined as 46.37 mg g-1, 40.07 mg g-1, and 37.57 mg g-1, respectively. Due to its good performance and recoverability (ten times), the HAp/Fe3O4/PDA magnetic composite can be proposed as a good candidate to eliminate Zn2+ ions from a water solution.

Polydopamine-Coated Manganese Complex/Graphene Nanocomposite for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity Towards Oxygen Reduction.

Project description:Platinum electrodes are commonly used electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reactions (ORR) in fuel cells. However, this material is not economical due to its high cost and scarcity. We prepared an Mn(III) catalyst supported on graphene and further coated with polydopamine, resulting in superior ORR activity compared to the uncoated PDA structures. During ORR, a peak potential at 0.433 V was recorded, which is a significant shift compared to the uncoated material's -0.303 V (both versus SHE). All the materials reduced oxygen in a wide pH range via a four-electron pathway. Rotating disk electrode and rotating ring disk electrode studies of the polydopamine-coated material revealed ORR occurring via 4.14 and 4.00 electrons, respectively. A rate constant of 6.33 × 10(6) mol(-1)s(-1) was observed for the polydopamine-coated material-over 4.5 times greater than the uncoated nanocomposite and superior to those reported for similar carbon-supported metal catalysts. Simply integrating an inexpensive bioinspired polymer coating onto the Mn-graphene nanocomposite increased ORR performance significantly, with a peak potential shift of over +730 mV. This indicates that the material can reduce oxygen at a higher rate but with lower energy usage, revealing its excellent potential as an ORR electrocatalyst in fuel cells.

Preparation of porous Fe2O3 nanorods-reduced graphene oxide nanohybrids and their excellent microwave absorption properties.

Project description:In this paper, α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs)-reduced graphene oxide (RGO), α-FeOOH nanorods (NRs)-RGO and porous α-Fe2O3 NRs-RGO could be selectively synthesized by hydrothermal method. The investigations indicated that the obtained α-Fe2O3 NPs, α-FeOOH NRs and porous α-Fe2O3 NRs were either attached on the surface of RGO sheets or coated uniformly by the RGO sheets. And the as-prepared nanohybrids exhibited excellent microwave absorption performance, which was proved to be ascribed to the quarter-wavelength matching model. The optimum reflection loss (RL) values for α-Fe2O3 NPs-RGO, α-FeOOH NRs-RGO and porous α-Fe2O3 NRs-RGO were ca. -32.3, -37.4 and -71.4 dB, respectively. Moreover, compared to the obtained α-Fe2O3 NPs-RGO and α-FeOOH NRs-RGO, the as-prepared porous α-Fe2O3 NRs-RGO nanohybrids exhibited enhanced microwave absorption properties because of their special structure and synergetic effect. The possible enhanced microwave absorption mechanisms were discussed in details. Our results confirmed that the geometrical morphology had a great influence on their microwave absorption properties, which provided a promising approach to exploit high performance microwave absorbing materials.

Excellent microwave absorption property of Graphene-coated Fe nanocomposites.

Project description:Graphene has evoked extensive interests for its abundant physical properties and potential applications. It is reported that the interfacial electronic interaction between metal and graphene would give rise to charge transfer and change the electronic properties of graphene, leading to some novel electrical and magnetic properties in metal-graphene heterostructure. In addition, large specific surface area, low density and high chemical stability make graphene act as an ideal coating material. Taking full advantage of the aforementioned features of graphene, we synthesized graphene-coated Fe nanocomposites for the first time and investigated their microwave absorption properties. Due to the charge transfer at Fe-graphene interface in Fe/G, the nanocomposites show distinct dielectric properties, which result in excellent microwave absorption performance in a wide frequency range. This work provides a novel approach for exploring high-performance microwave absorption material as well as expands the application field of graphene-based materials.

Removal of silver nanoparticles by mussel-inspired Fe3O4@ polydopamine core-shell microspheres and its use as efficient catalyst for methylene blue reduction.

Project description:The removal of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from water is highly needed because of their increasing use and potential risk to the environment due to their toxic effects. Catalysis over AgNPs has received significant attention because of their highly catalytic performance. However, their use in practical applications is limited due to high cost and limited resources. Here, we present for the first time that the mussel-inspired Fe3O4@polydopamine (Fe3O4@PDA) nanocomposite can be used for efficient removal and recovery of AgNPs. Adsorption of AgNPs over Fe3O4@PDA was confirmed by TEM, FT-IR, XRD, TGA and magnetic property. The adsorption efficiency of AgNPs by Fe3O4@PDA was investigated as a function of pH, contact time, ionic strength and concentration of AgNPs. The kinetic data were well fitted to a pseudo-second order kinetic model. The isotherm data were well described by Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 169.5 mg/g, which was higher than those by other adsorbents. Notably, the obtained AgNPs-Fe3O4@PDA exhibited highly catalytic activity for methylene blue reduction by NaBH4 with a rate constant of 1.44 × 10-3/s, which was much higher than those by other AgNPs catalysts. The AgNPs-Fe3O4@PDA promised good recyclability for at least 8 cycles and acid resistant with good stability.

Facile fabrication of superparamagnetic graphene/polyaniline/Fe3O4 nanocomposites for fast magnetic separation and efficient removal of dye.

Project description:Using graphene as adsorbent for removal of pollutants from polluted water is commonly recognized to be costly because the graphene is usually produced by a very complex process. Herein, a simple and eco-friendly method was employed to fabricate efficient superparamagnetic graphene/polyaniline/Fe3O4 nanocomposites for removal of dyes. The exfoliation of graphite as nanosheets and the functionalization of nanosheets with polyaniline and Fe3O4 nanoparticles were simultaneously achieved via a one-pot reaction process combining the intercalation polymerization of aniline and the co-precipitation of the residual Fe3+ and the generated Fe2+. The obtained graphene/polyaniline/Fe3O4 nanocomposites exhibited excellent adsorption performance for Congo red, even in the presence of Brilliant green. The adsorption kinetics and adsorption isotherms were well fitted with pseudo second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. In a word, this method is simple and industrially feasible, which provides a new approach to fabricate highly efficient graphene-based adsorbents on large scale for removal of dyes. In addition, it also can be used to exfoliate other two-dimensional materials, such as boron nitride, carbon nitride and MoS2 for a range of possible applications.

Promoting the stability and adsorptive capacity of Fe3O4-embedded expanded graphite with an aminopropyltriethoxysilane-polydopamine coating for the removal of copper(ii) from water.

Project description:In this study, three magnetic graphites, namely, EGF, GAF, and GFA + KH550, were prepared, which were loaded either with Fe3O4 or with Fe3O4 and PDA or with Fe3O4, PDA, and KH550 onto expanded graphite. ATR-FTIR, XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and TGA characterization results showed that EGF, GAF, and GFA + KH550 were successfully prepared. Under the same initial copper concentration, the removal rates of copper ions by EGF, GFA, and GFA + KH550 were 86.2%, 96.9%, and 97.0%, respectively and the hazard index reductions of the three adsorbents were 2191 ± 71 (EGF), 1843 ± 68 (GFA), and 1664 ± 102 (GFA + KH550), respectively. Therefore GFA + KH550 exhibited better removal of Cu(ii) than EGF and GFA, for PDA and KH550 provided more adsorption-active sites like -OH and -NH. Here, the adsorption of GFA + KH550 fitted the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models well within the testing range, which means that adsorption occurs on a monolayer surface between Cu(ii) and the adsorption sites. The intraparticle diffusion model and various thermodynamic parameters demonstrated that Cu(ii) was adsorbed on GFA + KH550 mainly via external surface diffusion and that the process was both endothermic and spontaneous. Recycling experiments show that GFA + KH550 has a satisfactory recyclability, and the way of direct recovery by magnets exhibits good magnetic induction. GFA + KH550 was applied in lake water and artificial seawater samples, and exhibited better removal of copper than that in DI water under the same environmental conditions for the existence of macromolecular organic matter. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of copper ions was not relative to the salinity of water. The application of GFA + KH550 demonstrated the potential for application in water treatment procedures.
