The use of nanomaterials such as carbon dots (CDs) as rapid detection fluorescent nanoprobes is a hot topic in the field of analytical chemistry. In this paper, blue, green, and red CDs with high fluorescence quantum yields (24, 54, and 38%, respectively) were obtained from m-phenylenediamine and urea by hydrothermal synthesis and chromatographic separation. After investigating the structures and properties of the obtained CDs, three distinct and sensitive fluorescent nanoprobes with different functions were successfully constructed. The first nanoprobe derived from blue CDs could be used to detect the pH of a strong acid solution (pH 3.0); a rapid detection kit was designed based on it. The second nanoprobe based on Green CDs with ellagic acid (EA) modification allowed the sensitive determination of Fe3+ ions in aqueous solutions. The final probe derived from Red CDs could be used to test for organic acids in liquor. The test results of the commercial liquor were consistent with the standard methods. The detection mechanism of the three fluorescent probes was proposed. Using CDs to construct multifunctional fluorescent nanoprobes is beneficial for the application of CDs to rapid and specific detection and recognition.

Novel thin-film composite (TFC) membranes were elaborately designed and fabricated via the incorporation of mussel-inspired dopamine (DA) into an m-phenylendiamine (MPD) aqueous solution followed by interfacial polymerization with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on a macroporous substrate. This DA-incorporation strategy was distinct from the previous DA layer serving as a hydrophilicity–promoter or reactive intermedia. The elastic structure of the polyamide (PA) layer and the hydrophilicity of both the PA layer and substrate were in situ flexibly manipulated by regulating the DA/MPD mass ratio and solution pH. The optimized TMC/MPD–DA TFC membranes achieved a significantly enhanced water flux (50 L m−2 h−1, improved 3-fold compared to the conventional TMC/MPD membrane) and a comparable reverse salt flux of 8.19 g m−2 h−1 for forward osmosis (FO) using deionized water as the feed along with 1 M NaCl draw solution in the FO mode. It also yielded a superior water permeability (A) of 1.8 L per m2 per h per bar compared to the TMC/MPD membrane (1.0 L per m2 per h per bar) while maintaining a NaCl rejection of over 92% at 2 bar. The proposed synergistic interaction between DA and MPD in aqueous solution responding to the solution pH played a crucial role in controlling the interfacial polymerization process. Michael addition and Schiff base reaction between PDA and MPD at a proper pH (8.5) could weaken both the residual DA monomer and the PDA aggregate generation, facilitating the establishment of a defect-free and uniform PA layer with a proper cross-linking degree to enhance the water transport. This DA-incorporation strategy for the TFC membrane demonstrated here sheds light on the exploration of high water transport for highly efficient FO and other desalination processes.

A nanocomposite of poly(m-phenylenediamine)/palygorskite (PmPD–PG) is facilely synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization of m-phenylenediamine (mPD) on palygorskite (PG) and its reactive adsorbability to Cr(VI) is examined. PG in the nanocomposite plays important roles in the improvement of adsorptivity of Cr(VI). The pH value of the solution is increased after adsorption, which is quite different from Pb(II) adsorption with aromatic diamine polymers. This unusual removal behavior of Cr(VI) with PmPD–PG is due to the redox reaction between Cr(VI) and amino/imino groups on the PmPD chains.

A novel sensing system has been designed for the detection of m-phenylenediamine based on carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-improved chemiluminescence (CL) in a luminol–potassium permanganate (KMnO4) system. The CQDs were synthesized by pyrolyzing a mixture of citric acid (CA) and glycine (Gly). Under the action of CQDs and KMnO4, the luminol can be oxidized by synergy, which significantly increases the chemiluminescence intensity. In this work, it has been demonstrated that this facile methodology can offer a rapid, sensitive and reliable detection of m-phenylenediamine with a detection limit as low as 1.02 × 10−3 g L−1 and a dynamic range from 2.0 × 10−3 to 3.0 × 10−1 g L−1, which shows a promising application prospect.

Fully aromatic polyamide (PA) membranes have been studied as nanofiltration (NF) membranes for decades because of their good chemical stability, but most of the membranes suffered from poor permeability and high rejection for monovalent ions. In this paper, an m-phenylenediamine (MPD)-based NF membrane was prepared by alkali activation on a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane. Characterization revealed the different etching paths on RO membranes fabricated by different concentrations of monomers of interfacial polymerization. The looser PA layer of RO membrane fabricated by lower-concentration monomers was easily invaded by NaOH molecules because of the higher molecular weight cutoff of 254 Da, which resulted in the transformation of separation grade from RO to NF. At the same time, the MPD-based NF membrane exhibited superior water permeability and pH resistance compared with a PIP-based membrane, which showed a potential to realize large-scale application in practical industry settings. It also provided a facile method for the preparation of a high-performance NF membrane with good chemical stability.

The design and fabricate new metal-free photocatalysts is one of the topics in current chemistry. In this paper, we demonstrate the ultrahigh photocatalytic performance of visible light-driven metal-free photocatalyst for selective catalytic reduction of nitro-compounds. The synthesis of 1.5–4.5-nm m-phenylenediamine-Rhodamine B copolymer dots (PmRDs) via simple hydrothermal reaction of Rhodamine B and m-phenylenediamine mixed solution. The obtained PmRDs can be used as visible light-driven metal-free photocatalyst with ultrahigh photocatalytic performance for elective catalytic reduction of nitro-compounds. Due to the hydrogen-bond and specific C–N–N bonding model between the m-phenylenediamine-Rhodamine B copolymer dots (PmRDs) and nitro-compounds, the PmRDs show high photocatalytic activity and selectivity for catalytic reduction of nitro-compounds. Under the irradiation of xenon lamp, 40 ml of 1 mM 4-nitrophenol (4-PN) could be catalyzed by 12 mg catalyst within 5 min, by calculating the rate constants up to 0.766 min −1 (25 °C). In the same way, the PmRDs are also excellent photocatalytic activity and selectivity for different nitro-compounds. Meanwhile, the efficient fast photoinduced electron transfer between the m-phenylenediamine and the Rhodamine B progress significantly improved the photocatalytic performance of PmRDs which is much higher than metal-based (such as: Ag, Ni and Cu) or metallic composite photocatalysts.

In this study, a foam fractionation technique was developed for the separation and enrichment of the trace m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and o-phenylenediamine (OPD) in solution. Firstly, a self-designed foam fractionation device was assembled and built, followed by a comprehensive characterization on gas types, foam fractionation column parameters, and porous sieve plate material used in the apparatus. Subsequently, the most crucial parameters for the separation and enrichment, such as surfactant species, solution pH, electrolyte categories, and gas flow rate, were identified and optimized. The mechanisms of key processes during foam fractionation under the influence of these parameters were thoroughly discussed. Other influencing factors, such as surfactant concentration, foam collection time, and solution volume in the fractionation column, were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). Under these optimal conditions, maximal enrichment ratios of 138.2 and 85.5 were achieved for MPD and OPD, respectively. Finally, foam fractionation coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to detect MPD and OPD in the solution. The results demonstrated limits of detection (LOD) of 1.5 × 10 −2 μg/L and 1.5 μg/L for MPD and OPD, with relative standard deviation (RSD) values of 4.1 % and 3.9 %. When testing various actual samples, the recoveries were in the range from 92.0 % or greater in all cases. The method exhibited advantages of high sensitivity, precision, and accuracy, attributed to the high enrichment efficiency of foam fractionation. In conclusion, the foam fractionation method established in this study offers simplicity in apparatus, operational convenience, environmental friendliness (minimized use of organic solvents), and high enrichment efficiency. It proves valuable for the quantitative analysis of trace amounts of MPD and OPD in solution, presenting a novel approach for the detection of trace organic compounds in solutions.

In this paper, a simple, one-step chemical synthesis of Au@poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PMPD) core-shell nanoparticles by direct dropping aqueous chloroauric acid aqueous solution to m-phenylenediamine aqueous solution was reported, which is a facile and green method. We further evaluate the use of the obtained Au@PMPD to modify glassy carbon electrode and for H2O2 electrocatalytic biosensing. The results indicate that the aggregated small Au nanoparticles in the inner part of PMPD could be an ideal sensing platform for H2O2 detection.

At present, the mechanical properties of para aramid paper (PPTA paper) are still severely challenged since interface bonding defects. In this work, a novel method for improving the interface bonding of PPTA paper was proposed by introducing m-phenylenediamine (MPD) into PPTA molecular chain by copolymerization. Result showed that the addition of MPD could monitor the rigidity and glass transition temperature (Tg) of PPTA. The Tg generated by the copolymerized modified PPTA precipitated fibers (MAPFs) realized micro-melting bonding with adjacent fibers during hot-pressing process. Further optimization of MAPFs precipitation and hot-pressing process improved the tensile strength of paper. Results indicated that the tensile strength of paper made of MAPFs with 60% MPD far beyond PPTA paper (PAP), and was 1.07 times of Nomex paper. The method provides a reference value for the application of high performance PAP in lightweight and high strength fields, broadening the application field of PAP as well.

Supramolecular self-assembly is an effective method to assemble organic and inorganic units into various hierarchical structures with excellent properties and is widely used in material and life science. In this article, the self-assembled hollow-sphere and core-in-hollow-shell nanostructures composed of m -phenylenediamine and a novel Preyssler-type polyoxometalates (POM, K 12.5 Na 1.5 [NaP 5 W 30 O 110 ]·15H 2 O (abbreviated as P 5 W 30 )) without template were successfully realized by adjusting the non-covalent interactions. For comparison, we also selected o -phenylenediamine and p -phenylenediamine to investigate whether isomerides have different effects on the self-assembly behavior with P 5 W 30 . The results indicated that only m -phenylenediamine/P 5 W 30 can form hollow spheres and core-in-hollow-shell structure while o -phenylenediamine/P 5 W 30 and p -phenylenediamine/P 5 W 30 cannot which revealed that the self-assembly process can be regulated via isomer effects. Moreover, the detailed analysis of the formation of hollow spheres and core-in-hollow-shell structure are studied and the mechanism is mainly due to the Ostwald ripening . In addition, m -phenylenediamine/P 5 W 30 composite has a good adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB) dyes, even in the presence of other dyes such as rhodamine B (RB) and amaranth (AR). Our findings further confirmed that supramolecular self-assembly between organic molecules and POM can unique a distinctive “bottom-up” strategy to construct diversiform structures with functional properties.

E-waste contains a variety of non-renewable precious metal resources, and the amount is significantly higher than the abundance of precious metals in the corresponding ores. Therefore, it is of great significance to recover and reuse precious metals in e-waste. In this study, we successively used a simple one-step oxidation method and physical cross-linking to prepare a poly-m-phenylenediamine composite membrane material (CMC–PmPD composite membrane) containing a large number of recycling groups. The prepared CMC–PmPD composite membrane has high adsorption capacity and adsorption efficiency for Au(III), and the maximum adsorption capacity for Au(III) reaches 421.1 mg g−1. The adsorption follows a second-order kinetic process and a Langmuir isotherm model, indicating that the adsorption mechanism is a monolayer chemisorption. The regeneration of the composite membrane material can be realized after a simple thiourea solution immersion, and 89.5% adsorption efficiency is maintained after five regeneration cycles. In addition, when the CMC–PmPD composite membrane was applied to the treatment of mixed heavy metal ion solutions with different concentrations and compositions, the CMC–PmPD composite membrane was always able to selectively adsorb more than 95% of Au(III) from the simulated solution or e-waste leachate, which was highly selective and applicable. The CMC–PmPD composite membrane has a broad application prospect in metallurgy and fine chemical industry.

Magnetic chitosan particles (MCS) were chemically grafted by m-phenylenediamine (mPD) forming a distinctive shell layer with abundant nitrogenous functional groups and used as an adsorbent for the effective removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. By interaction among functional groups in the facile oxidative polymerization process, the grafting of mPD and its polymers on MCS surface was innovatively realized. Through Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectrometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, etc., the chemical properties of MCS before and after modification were characterized and the concurrent reduction-adsorption mechanism in Cr(VI) adsorption by mPD-MCS was carefully analyzed. The maximal Cr(VI) removal performance of mPD-MCS reached 227.27 mg/g, which was significantly better than that of the original MCS. The analysis indicated that Cr(VI) could be efficiently reduced to Cr(III) and the removal of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) was through adsorption and chelation simultaneously by mPD-MCS. Results also indicated that the concurrent reduction-adsorption was enhanced by protonation of nitrogenous functional groups under low pH. The obtained results suggest that mPD-MCS has a good potential in removal and detoxication of Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions.
