Abstract This study aims to explore the photocatalytic potential of graphene-oxide-based metal ferrites for the degradation of acetamiprid (an odorless neonicotinoid pesticide). Metal (Mn and Ni) ferrites (along with their graphene oxide composites) were prepared by the hydrothermal method while graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized using a modified Hummer's method. The composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The photocatalysts were studied for their Fenton-like advanced oxidation process to degrade acetamiprid. The composites showed excellent activity against acetamiprid degradation (>90%) in 60 min under UV irradiation. The detailed optimization study was carried out to investigate the influential variables (such as pH, catalyst dose, pollutant concentration, irradiation time, oxidant dose, etc.) to achieve enhanced degradation efficiency. Moreover, the findings were endorsed by central composite design (CCD). It was concluded that degradation was enhanced in an appropriate combination of photocatalyst and hydrogen peroxide. The magnetic character of the metal ferrites and their composites played an important role in the easy separation and reusability of these materials. The present findings result in highly effective, easy to handle and stable heterogeneous photo-Fenton materials for wastewater remediation.

In this work, ZnO–Cu2O/graphene oxide (GO) composites have been synthesized by using simple hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the crystal structure and composite elements. The photocatalytic activity of the composites has been conducted by measuring the degradation of indigo carmine under UV irradiation. When the atom ratio of Zn/Cu is 5/2, 120 °C of hydrothermal synthesis temperature and 20 h of synthesis time, the ZnO/Cu2O/GO composite exhibits good photocatalytic activity with 96.5% degradation rate of indigo carmine aqueous solution under 500 W high pressure Hg lamp irradiation for 240 min.

Reduced graphene oxide–epoxy grafted poly(styrene-co-acrylate) composites (GESA) were prepared by anchoring different amount of epoxy modified poly(styrene-co-acrylate) (EPSA) onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets through π–π electrostatic attraction. The GESA composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The anti-corrosion properties of rGO/EPSA composites were evaluated by electro-chemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in hydroxyl-polyacrylate coating, and the results revealed that the corrosion rate was decreased from 3.509 × 10−1 to 1.394 × 10−6 mm/a.

Cadmium selenide(CdSe) nanoparticles were prepared in the aqueous solution containing isopropyl alcohol by the ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature. The cadmium chloride (CdCl2) and sodium selenosulfate (Na2SeSO3) were used as the cadmium and selenium source, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis absorption spectra and PL spectra were used to characterize the CdSe nanoparticles. XRD analysis revealed the formation of cubic structure CdSe. TEM images showed aggregated CdSe nanoparticles with the size of nanometer scale. Average size of CdSe nanoparticles were about 3.9, 5.0 and 5.1nm with sonication time of 6, 30 and 40 minutes, respectively. The surface emission became less intensive and shifted to red with increasing irradiation time. This paper presents the effects of ultrasonic on the formation of CdSe nanoparticles and its characteristics.

Abstract Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by the Hummers method and was grafted by an amino-terminated vinyl polydimethylsiloxane (AP). The AP-modified GO (GO-AP) was incorporated in poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) to prepare nanocomposites. Raman microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to characterize the particles. The mechanical properties, thermal stability, thermal conductivity, and dispersing status of the PMMA-based nanocomposites were also investigated. The results indicated that AP was grafted on the surface of GO via the amidation reaction, and the quantity of the grafted AP was approximately 20 wt% that of GO-AP. With the addition of GO-AP, the three-point bending strength of GO-AP/PMMA increased to approximately 58 MPa, and the dispersion of the particles was also enhanced. GO wrapped by AP could not form thermal conducting networks at the percolation thresholds. The increasing amount of AP prevented the formation of thermal conduction network and decreased the thermal conductivity of the composites. The thermal stability of the composites was affected by three main reasons, and the total effect of the three reasons on thermal stability illustrated a negative trend.

Chitosan Composite

Chitosan, a semi-crystalline biomolecule, has attracted wide attention due to its high synthesis flexibility. In this study, to improve the mechanical properties of chitosan aerogels (CSAs), graphene oxide (GO) was extracted and introduced into chitosan aerogels as fillers. The porous CSAs/GO composite aerogels were fabricated by an environmentally friendly freeze-drying process with different GO contents (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, wt.%). The characteristics of the CSAs/GO were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical measurements and mercury porosimeter. The crystallinity of samples was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The mechanism of the effect of graphene oxide on chitosan was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the microstructure of the samples is developed in the network structure. The porosity of CSAs/GO aerogels is as high as 87.6%, and the tensile strength of the films increased from 6.60 MPa to 10.56 MPa with the recombination of graphene oxide. The crystallinity (CrI) of composite aerogels increased from 27% to 81%, which indicates that graphene oxide improves the mechanical properties of chitosan by chemical crosslinking.
