A novel indium doped bismuth hybrid nanofilm was prepared on a glassy carbon electrode (Bi@In/GCE) and successfully used for the simultaneous measurements of aqueous zinc (Zn(II)), cadmium (Cd(II)) and lead (Pb(II)). The Bi@In hybrid nanofilm was greatly improved in the ability of electron transfer, surface morphology as well as hydrophilicity over single Bi or In film, and exhibited well-defined and separate peaks for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) by square wave stripping voltammetry. Analytical characteristics of the developed Bi@In/GCE were explored by comparing with single Bi and In film modified electrodes with calibration curves, which exhibited the most preferable electrochemical behaviors toward three metals as predicted. The synergistic effect of Bi and In mainly contributed to the enhanced electrochemical activity of the new electrode. In the concentration range of 0-120 µg L -1 , a good linear relationship was achieved between the peak current and the metal concentration with correlation coefficient higher than 0.995. The detection limits were calculated to be 0.52, 0.15 and 0.67 µg L -1 for Zn(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) (S/N=3), respectively. The analysis of river sample with Bi@In/GCE was performed with satisfactory recoveries higher than 98%, suggesting that the new method is promising as a simple, sensitive and efficient approach to detect the heavy metals in water samples.

This paper reports the synthesis of waterborne epoxy phosphate emulsion (WEP) through the reaction between epoxy resin E44 and phosphoric acid and ammonia neutralization. Synthesized WEP was characterized by FTIR for the confirmation of reaction between epoxy groups and phosphoric acid and SEM for morphology. WEP acted as a modifier in two-component epoxy anticorrosion coating on rusty steel substrate. The anticorrosion properties of the coating on rusty steel were investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Tafel polarization curve. Tafel polarization curve revealed that waterborne epoxy coating containing WEP had better protection ability which is clearly reflected by the protection efficiency (96.6%). EIS study also showed the higher impedance value for WEP containing coating as compared to pure waterborne epoxy coating.

A ternary phase diagram of the system of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([ Bmim ]BF4), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and water using ocular estimate and turbidity method was drawn based on experimental data at 298.2 K. We got a narrow aqueous two-phase region near the side of water-ionic liquid (IL). A series of samples with different compositions around the phase diagram were chosen. The enthalpy change of these systems after injecting triply distilled water into these samples has been studied by using isothermal titration microcalorimetry (ITC). It is found that with increasing the water content there are weak endothermic and exothermic processes appearing, separately, which matches perfectly with the location of the formation and disappearance of the aqueous two-phase in the ternary phase diagram. This suggests the ITC is a feasible and effective method for the thermodynamic study of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) and was first reported. The experimental results show that the formation of the ATPS is endothermic (Δ H > 0), but the process of disappearing is exothermic (Δ H < 0). Due to the formation of aqueous two-phase is a thermodynamic spontaneous process under the isothermal constant pressure, we can judge that the formation of this ATPS is an entropy driven course and the vanishing is a synergy driven process by entropy and enthalpy.

Compared with solvent-based resins, waterborne resins still have defects such as insufficient anti-corrosion efficiency. In this paper, the sulfonated graphene/zinc phosphate composites were prepared as an anti-corrosion filler and doped into waterborne polyurethane resin. The morphology of composites is different from pure zinc phosphate. The optimal corrosion resistance can be obtained by adding 0.5 wt% sulfonated graphene/zinc phosphate fillers characterized by Potentiodynamic polarization curves and EIS analysis The corrosion current density ( i corr ) was 0.4252 μA/cm 2 and the charged transfer resistance (R ct ) was up to 10.937 × 10 3 Ω cm 2 , which show a good potential as anti-corrosive fillers in waterborne coatings system.

In this work, nanofiltration membrane with an asymmetric selective separation layer and improved surface negative charge was designed and fabricated to efficient remove anionic dyes from aqueous solution. Firstly, loose polyester selective separation layer was formed through interfacial polymerization of triethanolamine and trimesoyl chloride. Surface carboxylation was then implemented via esterification using poly(acrylic acid) to generate a dense skin. Membrane characterizations verified the asymmetric structure and enrichment of surface carboxyl group, which endowed the carboxylated membrane with improved perm-selectivity and anti-dye-deposition property to anionic dye aqueous solutions. The desired surface carboxylated membrane exhibited 99.6% methyl blue removal, 8.05 l/m 2 h bar steady-state water permeability and 14.3% relative flux decline ratio under 5.0 bar. The water permeability of carboxylated membrane to methyl blue aqueous solution was higher than those of most reported membranes and even at least two times higher than that of the polyester-based membrane having nearly the same dye removal ability. The attractive results indicate that surface carboxylated polyester based thin-film composite membrane is a promising material for high-efficiency nanofiltration of anionic dye aqueous solution. This study provides valuable insights into the construction and fabrication of high performance nanofiltration membrane for efficient treatment of anionic dye aqueous solution.

In this work, a novel epoxy monomer denoted as 3,5′-di-t-butyl-5,3′-dimethyl biphenyl diglycidyl ether (t-BuMBPDGE) was synthesized and applied into in situ composites with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-4,4′-biphenyl diglycidyl ether (TMBPDGE), accompanied with curing agent aromatic amines. The liquid crystalline phase structure and the crosslink density of substituted biphenyl epoxies were determined by polarized optical microscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements and dynamic storage moduli data. The samples showed good mechanical properties and could recover quickly from a second state to their initial states with a shape fixity ratio higher than 98% and shape recovery ratio higher than 99%, owing to the oriented structure and increased crosslink network density caused by the orientation of biphenyl mesogenic. The high glass transition temperatures ranging from 160 to 178 °C and good water resistance could contribute to a stable fixed shape. The water resistance is analyzed by contact angles test. The samples exhibited contact angles of 92–98 degrees, which indicated that the water resistance was apparently better than that of conventional epoxy systems.

The water-soluble protein was extracted from Moringa oleifera seed press cake and tested its performance as a natural coagulant for removing humic acid (HA) from water solution when comparing to polyaluminum chloride (PAC), a commercial coagulant. Influencing factors including pH, coagulant dosage, temperature and suspended solid were investigated in this study. The results indicated that the coagulating efficiencies of HA using the Moringa oleifera seed protein (MOSP) were better than those by PAC under all the experimental conditions at the same dosage. MOSP could increase the zeta potential more efficiently than PAC. The Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed that no new compounds were generated during the coagulation process. Hence, adsorption and charge neutralization could be the main mechanism contributing to the HA removal using MOSP as coagulant. MOSP is an ideal natural coagulant for HA removal.

Carbon nanofibers served as nanoreactors for the design and construction of PtCo alloy carbon core-shell nanostructures with nitrogen doping (PtCo/NCNF) through a combination of electrospinning and nitrogen doping treatments. The PtCo/NCNF hybrid consists of PtCo alloy nanoparticles surrounded by a few of N-doped carbon layers , demonstrating a typical core-shell structures. The PtCo/NCNF hybrid can both served as electrode materials for electrocatalytic water splitting including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). For the HER performance, the PtCo/NCNF exhibits very small onset potential of 20 mV, an overpotential of 50 mV at a j (vs RHE) = 10 mA cm − 2 and Tafel slope of 30 mV dec − 1 . The PtCo/NCNF hybrid also exhibits high OER activity with an onset potential of 310 mV, an overpotential of 400 mV at a j of 10 mA cm − 2 and a small Tafel slope of 76 mV dec − 1 . The high catalytic activities of PtCo alloy for HER and OER originate from the 3D hierarchical structures, well-dispersed PtCo alloy, high conductivity of NCNF, protection from the carbon-encapsulated structure, and the introduction of nitrogen.

Proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (H-SOECs) are attracting attentions of researchers due to their unique advantages. The proton-conducting material BaCe 0·7 Zr 0·1 Y 0.1 Yb 0.1 O 3-δ (BZCYYb) has both the advantages of barium ceria-based and barium zirconate-based materials. BZCYYb material usually is synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) method, hence the densification of this electrolyte material is the key to restrict the application of H-SOECs. In this paper, effects of adding 1 wt% of different sintering aids (NiO, CuO, ZnO) to BZCYYb on the grain size and the conductivity are investigated. After adding 1 wt% of NiO and CuO sintering aids, BZCYYb electrolyte achieves ideal density. The electrical conductivity of four samples (BZCYYb without adding sintering aid, BZCYYb with 1 wt% NiO, CuO, ZnO, respectively) is tested under different steam concentrations of air, nitrogen, hydrogen, and nitrogen-hydrogen mixture. The conductivity increased after the sintering aid is added. With the increase of steam concentration, the conductivity decreased slightly and then increased due to electron holes under oxygen atmosphere with steam at high temperature. In other atmospheres, the conductivity increases with the steam concentration. In the atmosphere of 20 vol% H 2 O-Air and H 2 , the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% CuO is about 1.087 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 9.02 × 10 −3 S cm −1 at 650 °C, and the conductivity of the BZCYYb samples with 1 wt% NiO is 1.277 × 10 −2 S cm −1 and 8.24 × 10 −3 S cm −1 , respectively. However, compared with NiO, CuO has advantages in promoting hydration reaction and proton conduction of BZCYYb electrolyte.

Boron nitride (BN) aerogels is a class of three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical network structure assembled from BN micro/nanostructures. The construction of BN/BN composite aerogel by introducing of BN micro/nano-structural units into the 3D BN aerogel scaffold provides an effective strategy for obtaining BN aerogel with improved all-round properties. Here, a novel kind of BN/BN composite aerogels has been developed by vacuum impregnation of ammonia borane (AB) into fiber-based BN aerogels, followed by high-temperature pyrolysis . The introducing of AB into BN aerogels makes the formation of unique AB/BN composite aerogels, and the high-temperature decomposition of AB results in the obtaining of a series of multifunctional composites, i.e. BN/BN composite aerogels. As compared with the porous BN microfibers in original BN aerogel, the self-assembled fibers in BN/BN composite aerogel are densely covered with high crystalline BN nanoflakes, which are generated by the AB decomposition. The obtained BN/BN composite aerogels have shown excellent thermal stability, significantly improved hydrophobic effect and heat transfer capability. This work provides a new idea for the future research and development of BN composite aerogels.

In this paper, graphene oxide (GO) was functionalized with a hyperbranched cyclotriphosphazene polymer, which was synthesized by the repeated reactions of hexachlorotriphosphazene with hexamethylenediamine. Subsequently, the resultant functionalized GO was incorporated into dicyclopentadiene bisphenol dicyanate ester (DCPDCE) to prepare composites. Fourier-transform infrared spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron spectroscopy were employed to examine the surface functionalization of GO. The effects of functionalized GO on the curing reactivity, mechanical, dielectric, thermal and water resistent properties of DCPDCE resin were investigated systematically. Results show that the addition of modified GO can facilitate the curing reaction of DCPDCE. Meanwhile, the appropriate content of modified GO can enhance the mechanical properties including impact and flexural strengths of DCPDCE resin. When modified GO content is 0.6 wt%, the corresponding composite exhibits slightly higher dielectric constant but lower dielectric loss than pure DCPDCE resin over the testing frequency from 10 to 60 MHz. In addition, the thermal stability and moisture resistance of modified GO/DCPDCE nanocomposties are also superior to that of pure DCPDCE resin.

A novel silver nanoparticle-modified magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotube composite (Ag-FMWCNTs) was synthesized by embedding Fe3O4 and assembling Ag nanoparticles in one-step. The properties of the Ag-FMWCNTs composites and magnetic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (FMWCNTs) were studied by scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The adsorption isotherms, adsorption kinetics and the effects of solution pH and ionic strength to adsorb emerging contaminant sulfamethoxazole (SMX) from aqueous solution on different multi-walled carbon nanotubes-based adsorbents were determined. The results showed that the adsorption kinetics could be explained well by means of the pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models. The pH experiments showed that maximum adsorption occurred at pH 4. Additionally, all adsorbents had a strong adsorption ability to SMX and the Langmuir maximum capacity followed the order: 5% Ag-FMWCNTs (118.58 mg g−1) > 3% Ag-FMWCNTs (86.41 mg g−1) > MWCNTs (73.69 mg g−1) > 1% Ag-FMWCNTs (70.26 mg g−1) > FMWCNTs (45.13 mg g−1). The spent adsorbents were regenerated in methanol. It was also found that after regenerating four times, multi-walled carbon composites retained up to 80% of their original adsorption performance. Therefore, the Ag-FMWCNTs composite could be used as a potential adsorbent for removing sulfamethoxazole from water.
