MoO3NPs/ZIF-8 composite material prepared via RCVD for photodegradation of dyes.

ABSTRACT: Toxic wastewaters from the textile industry have made its way into rivers and other waterways, posing a serious health treat on both human and wildlife. Herein, this data set presents the potential use of MoO3 nanoparticles supported on ZIF-8 in the photodegradation of a cationic dye molecule. The data presented in this article report a concise description of experimental conditions for the spray-dried ZIF-8 synthesis and subsequent deposition of MoO3 nanoparticles via rotary chemical vapor deposition (RCVD). The photodegradation and analysis data reviled that the MoO3-NPs@ZIF-8 3?wt% displayed the ability of degrading methylene blue up to 82% and 95% after 180 and 300?min, respectively.

ZnO-Layered Double Hydroxide@Graphitic Carbon Nitride Composite for Consecutive Adsorption and Photodegradation of Dyes under UV and Visible Lights.

Project description:In this work, a ZnO-layered double hydroxide@graphitic carbon nitride composite (ZnO-LDH@C?N?) was synthesized via co-precipitation method with solvothermal treatment. The structure and morphology of ZnO-LDH@C?N? composite were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopes/transmission electron microscopes (SEM/TEM), N? adsorption/desorption, ultraviolet visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis-DRS), photoluminescence spectrometer (PL) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The adsorption and photocatalytic properties of ZnO-LDH@C?N? composite towards the organic dyes: Orange II sodium salt (OrgII, an anionic azo dye) and methylene blue (MB, a cationic azo dye) were investigated. Compared to ZnO-LDH and g-C?N?, the ZnO-LDH@C?N? composite displayed an excellent performance in both adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of the organic dyes. Moreover, a combination of ZnO-LDH and g-C?N? significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of ZnO-LDH and g-C?N? under visible-light irradiation. The adsorption and photocatalytic mechanism were also investigated.

Degradable Controlled Release Fertilizer Composite Prepared via Extrusion: Fabrication, Characterization, and Release Mechanisms.

Project description:In this work, biodegradable polymers were melt compounded with urea phosphate to fabricate "smart fertilizers" for sustainable agriculture. Urea phosphate (UP) is typically applied as a water-soluble fertilizer to treat phosphorus deficiency in high pH soils. Due to the low diffusion rate of phosphate through slow-release fertilizer coatings, phosphate supply has been considered the "bottleneck" for nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium (NPK) nutrients supply. We study the influence of polymer matrix structure on release kinetics in deionized water using novel polyesters including poly (hexamethylene succinate) (PHS), poly (30% butylene succinate-co-70% hexamethylene succinate) (PBHS 30/70), and PBHS 70/30. Melt processed composites of UP and polyester were analyzed to determine UP loading efficiency and dispersion and distribution of the salt in the polymer matrix. A combined empirical model involving diffusion and erosion mechanisms was found have a good agreement with the experimental release curve. This work provides a solution for environmentally friendly controlled release phosphate fertilizer with good release performance using bio-based and biodegradable polymers.

Biodegradable PCL-b-PLA Microspheres with Nanopores Prepared via RAFT Polymerization and UV Photodegradation of Poly(Methyl Vinyl Ketone) Blocks.

Project description:Biodegradable triblock copolymers based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide followed by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization of poly(methyl vinyl ketone) (PMVK) as a photodegradable block, and characterized by FT-IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy for structural analyses, and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for their thermal properties. Porous, biodegradable PCL-b-PLA microspheres were fabricated via the oil/water (O/W) emulsion evaporation method, followed by photodegradation of PMVK blocks by UV irradiation. The macro-chain transfer agent (CTA) synthesized by reacting a carboxylic-acid-terminated CTA-S-1-dodecyl-S'-(a,a'-dimethyl-a''-acetic acid)trithiocarbonate (DDMAT)-with a hydroxyl-terminated PCL-b-PLA block copolymer was used to synthesize well-defined triblock copolymers with methyl vinyl ketone via RAFT polymerization with controlled molecular weights and narrow polydispersity. Gel permeation chromatography traces indicated that the molecular weight of the triblock copolymer decreased with UV irradiation time because of the photodegradation of the PMVK blocks. The morphology of the microspheres before and after UV irradiation was investigated using SEM and videos of three-dimensional confocal laser microscopy, showing a change in their surface texture from smooth to rough, with high porosity owing to the photodegradation of the PMVK blocks to become porous templates.

Solar-Powered Photodegradation of Pollutant Dyes Using Silver-Embedded Porous TiO2 Nanofibers.

Project description:Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanomaterials have been ubiquitously investigated as a photocatalyst for organic contaminant treatment in wastewater due to their exemplary semiconductor properties. However, their huge band gap remains a barrier for visible light absorption, limiting their utility in practical applications. The incorporation of noble metals in the TiO2 scaffold would help mitigate the problem via plasmonic resonance enhancements. Silver (Ag) is the chosen noble metal as it is relatively cheap and has great plasmonic effects. In this study, the use of electrospun Ag-embedded TiO2 nanofibers as a photocatalyst is shown to be effective in decomposing rhodamine B and methyl orange dyes under a solar simulator in 3 h, which is more efficacious as opposed to pristine TiO2 nanofibers. This showcases the potential of a simple and economic wastewater treatment system for the removal of organic pollutants.

High Performance of PIM-1/ZIF-8 Composite Membranes for O2/N2 Separation.

Project description:This work reports the preparation, characterization, and O2/N2 separation properties of composite membranes based on the polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-1) and the zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-8). Especially, the composite membranes were prepared by growing ZIF-8 nanoparticles on one side of the PIM-1 membrane in methanol. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermo-gravimetric analysis indicated that there is no strong chemical interaction between ZIF-8 nanoparticles and PIM-1 chains. Scanning electron microscopy images showed that ZIF-8 nanoparticles adhere well to the PIM-1 membrane surface. The pure-gas permeation results confirmed that growth of ZIF-8 on the PIM-1 membrane can enhance the performance of O2/N2 separation. Particularly, the O2/N2 separation performance of the PIM-1/ZIF-8-7 composite membrane exceeds the Robeson upper bound line.

Cellular Membranes, a Versatile Adaptive Composite Material.

Project description:Cellular membranes belong to the most vital yet least understood biomaterials of live matter. For instance, its biomechanical requirements substantially vary across species and subcellular sites, raising the question how membranes manage to adjust to such dramatic changes. Central to its adaptability at the cell surface is the interplay between the plasma membrane and the adjacent cell cortex, forming an adaptive composite material that dynamically adjusts its mechanical properties. Using a hypothetical composite material, we identify core challenges, and discuss how cellular membranes solved these tasks. We further muse how pathological changes in material properties affect membrane mechanics and cell function, before closing with open questions and future challenges arising when studying cellular membranes.

Drilling Damage in Composite Material.

Project description:The characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced laminates have widened their use from aerospace to domestic appliances, and new possibilities for their usage emerge almost daily. In many of the possible applications, the laminates need to be drilled for assembly purposes. It is known that a drilling process that reduces the drill thrust force can decrease the risk of delamination. In this work, damage assessment methods based on data extracted from radiographic images are compared and correlated with mechanical test results-bearing test and delamination onset test-and analytical models. The results demonstrate the importance of an adequate selection of drilling tools and machining parameters to extend the life cycle of these laminates as a consequence of enhanced reliability.

In Situ Construction of CNT/CuS Hybrids and Their Application in Photodegradation for Removing Organic Dyes.

Project description:Herein, a coprecipitation method used to synthesize CuS nanostructures is reported. By varying the reaction time and temperature, the evolution of the CuS morphology between nanoparticles and nanoflakes was investigated. It was found that CuS easily crystallizes into sphere-/ellipsoid-like nanoparticles within a short reaction time (0.5 h) or at a high reaction temperature (120 °C), whereas CuS nanoflakes are readily formed at a low reaction temperature (20 °C) for a long time (12 h). Photodegradation experiments demonstrate that CuS nanoflakes exhibit a higher photodegradation performance than CuS nanoparticles for removing rhodamine B (RhB) from aqueous solution under simulated sunlight irradiation. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were further used to modify the photodegradation performance of a CuS photocatalyst. To achieve this aim, CNTs and CuS were integrated to form CNT/CuS hybrid composites via an in situ coprecipitation method. In the in situ constructed CNT/CuS composites, CuS is preferably formed as nanoparticles, but cannot be crystallized into nanoflakes. Compared to bare CuS, the CNT/CuS composites manifest an obviously enhanced photodegradation of RhB; notably, the 3% CNT/CuS composite with CNT content of 3% showed the highest photodegradation performance (? = 89.4% for 120 min reaction, kapp = 0.01782 min-1). To make a comparison, CuS nanoflakes and CNTs were mechanically mixed in absolute alcohol and then dried to obtain the 3% CNT/CuS-MD composite. It was observed that the 3% CNT/CuS-MD composite exhibited a slightly higher photodegradation performance (? = 92.4%, kapp = 0.0208 min-1) than the 3% CNT/CuS composite, which may be attributed to the fact that CuS maintains the morphology of nanoflakes in the 3% CNT/CuS-MD composite. The underlying enhanced photocatalytic mechanism of the CNT/CuS composites was systematically investigated and discussed.

Photodegradation Process of Organic Dyes in the Presence of a Manganese-Doped Zinc Sulfide Nanowire Photocatalyst.

Project description:Zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanowires represent a promising candidate in many fields, including optoelectronics and photocatalysis because of their advantages such as excellent optical properties, chemical stability and an easy-scalable simple synthesis method. In this study, an energy-friendly microwave radiation process was used to develop the single-step, solvothermal process for the growth of manganese-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS) and undoped nanocrystals (NCs) in the forms of nanowires using two short amines as a stabilizer, e.g. ethylenediamine and hydrazine, respectively. ZnS nanowires doped with Mn atoms show absorbance in UV and in the visible region of the spectrum. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B in the presence of Mn-doped and undoped ZnS nanocrystals illuminated with only a 6-W UV lamp has been comprehensively studied. The effect of Mn doping and the presence of a nanocrystal stabilizer on the degradation process was determined. It was found that the efficiency of a photocatalytic degradation process was strongly affected by both factors: the doping process of nanowires with Mn2+ atoms and the attachment of ligands to the nanocrystal surface.

Core-Shell Heterostructured and Visible-Light-Driven Titanoniobate/TiO2 Composite for Boosting Photodegradation Performance.

Project description:Herein, we report a one-dimensional (1D) S-doped K3Ti5NbO14@TiO2 (STNT) core-shell heterostructured composite with an enhanced photocatalytic degradation activity under visible light, which was prepared by a simple reassembly-calcination method using thiourea as the S source. The anisotropically shaped rods are favorable for the rapid transport of photogenerated charge carriers. The substitution of Ti4+ by S6+ is primarily incorporated into the lattice of the TiO2 shell so as to create an intra-band-gap state below the conduction band (CB) position, giving rise to Ti-O-S bonds and thus the visible light response. The presence of electron-deficient S atoms is of benefit to the decreased recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes by capturing electrons (e-). Meanwhile, a tight close interface between K3Ti5NbO14 and TiO2 was formed to achieve a nano-heterojunction structure, leading to the fostered separation of its interfacial photogenerated electrons and holes. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) by STNT composites is higher than that by pure K3Ti5NbO14, owing to the synergistic effects of S doping and heterojunction. A possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed with a reasonable discussion. This work may provide an insight into constructing highly efficient core-shell photocatalysts used toward sustainable environmental remediation and resource shortages.
