The authors report the preparation of the nanocomposite comprising of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and selenium (Se) nanoparticles and functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs). Since Se NPs possesses extraordinary physicochemical properties including larger surface area with higher adsorption capacity, V2O5 NPs were adsorbed onto Se NPs surface through physisorption process (designated as V2O5@Se NPs). The nanocomposite synthesized hydrothermally was evaluated for its antimicrobial activity. The morphology and microstructure of the nanocomposite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-Visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) were employed to analyze the spectral properties of nanocomposite. The microbicidal efficacy of nanocomposite was tested against Gram-negative (G-)ZGram-positive (G+) bacteria and fungus. This is the first report on the synthesis of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs nanocomposites by chemical method that showed microbicidal effect on micro-organisms. The thiol (-SH) units facilitates the enrichment of V2O5@Se NPs onto MWCNTs surface. Ultimately, it reflects on the significant antimicrobial activity of V2O5@Se NPs/MWCNTs.

Storage Materials

AbstractHere in this study timing saving, easy and cost effective methods has been applied for fabricating the dielectric energy storage materials. Ceramic nanoparticles (FLZC’s) have been successfully synthesized by Sol-Gel method and its nanocomposites with non-conducting polymers (PVP, PVA, PEG, PEO) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT’s) by one-pot blending technique. Energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDX), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTA), AC impedance analyzer and dielectric properties were determined for all the samples. Dielectric properties showed good agreement with that of energy storage substances for electronic device fabrication. High dielectric constant was achieved when 0.5 wt% MWCNT’s was added to FLZC’s/MWCNT’s/Polymer nanocomposites. The stability and performance of the nanocomposites were dependent on the type of polymer used. These preparation materials can be employed in functional materials, such as high charge-storage capacitors, electrostriction for artificial muscles and smart skins etc.

Reduced Graphene

A facile synthesis method of three dimensional reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) hydrogel was introduced. Hydrogel samples which were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) have been used as the electrode of supercapacitor. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) were used to investigate the Supercapacitors which we have fabricated. Because MWCNTs inserting into layers of RGO homogeneously prevent the layers of RGO from stacking and enlarge the specific surface area of graphene, the specific capacitance of RGO/MWCNTs material has been greatly improved. At the current density of 0.2A/g, the specific capacitance of RGO/MWCNTs electrode is about 176F/g, which means a 52% increasement compared to which of pure RGO material electrode. And the specific capacitance of RGO/MWCNTs also achieves a good rate property.

Platinum Particles

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as an excellent supporter covered with a thick layer of cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) were prepared by in-situ synthesis. Platinum particles were adopted to enhance the conductivity of CoPc-MWCNTs. The final nanocomposite Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Strong aromatic π-π stacking between MWCNTs and CoPc made CoPc in-situ forming on MWCNTs. With homogeneous thickness of CoPc covered on the MWCNTs and Pt particles equally distributed, the nanocomposite was used as electrocatalyst. The electrochemical properties of the composite got researched by casting the dispersion of Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs on the glassy carbon electrode. Compared with other modified electrodes, Pt-CoPc-MWCNTs/GC electrode exhibited excellent electrochemical activity towards dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA). Linear responses for DA and UA were obtained in the ranges of 5 to 170 μM and 5 to 100 μM, and limits of detection were 2.6 and 1.4 μM (S/N= 3), respectively. Simultaneous detection of DA and UA in the presence of ascorbic acid (AA) also displayed selective property, with no interference to each other.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/iron oxide magnetic composites (named as MCs) were prepared by co-precipitation method, and were characterised by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in detail. The prepared MCs were employed as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions from wastewater in heavy metal ion pollution cleanup. The results demonstrated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions was strongly dependent on pH and temperature. The experimental data were well described by Langmuir model, and the monolayer sorption capacity of MCs was found to vary from 10.02 to 31.25 mg/g for Pb(II) and from 3.11 to 8.92 mg/g for Cu(II) at temperature increasing from 293.15 to 353.15 K at pH 5.50. The sorption capacity of Pb(II) on MCs was higher than that of Cu(II), which was attributed to their ionic radius, hydration energies and hydrolysis of their hydroxides. The thermodynamic parameters (i.e., ΔH0, ΔS0 and ΔG0) were calculated from temperature dependent sorption isotherms, and the results indicated that the sorption of Pb(II) and Cu(II) ions on MCs were spontaneous and endothermic processes.

And Performance

The Dopamine-modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-Dopa) were synthesized by chemical reaction between dopamine (Dopa) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes which oxidazed by mixed-acid (MWNT-COOH). The structure of MWNT-Dopa were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric (TG), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and the dispersity of MWNT-Dopa were studied by Dispersion stability analyzer. The results show that dopamine has been grafted on multiwalled carbon nanotubes successfully, and a dopamine layer which wraps on the surface of multiwalled nanotubes make multiwalled nanotubes have outstanding dispersity in water.
