Although the relevant direct and revers flotation mechanism has been discussed a lot in diaspore and kaolinite separation, the quantitative analysis of surface-active sites and their reaction descriptions during flotation have not been reported yet. In this study, the hydration and collector adsorption reactions of anionic sodium oleate (NaOL) and cationic hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) onto diaspore and kaolinite were quantized. Surface complexation model (SCM) was referred to obtain intrinsic reaction equilibrium constants. It can be found that for NaOL adsorption, the equilibrium constant of diaspore (10 13.55 ) was obviously bigger than that of kaolinite (10 11.76 and 10 10.35 for ≡AlOH and ≡SiOH, respectively), corresponding to direct flotation of bauxite. While the interaction (10 3.90 for ≡XNR) between the permanent negatively charged site ≡X − and CTAB was much stronger than other sites. Besides, the single adsorbed amount in mixed minerals were successfully predicted at ratios of 1:2, 1:1 and 2:1. Finally, the fitted potential curves were also acceptable to zeta potential tests. These conclusions from SCM calculation can provide strong supports for collector adsorption differences and then help for separation much more efficiently and economically through saving preliminary exploration cost.

The treatment of heavy metal pollution in aquatic environment, especially the pollution caused by multiple heavy metal ions, has been a growing global concern for decades. To address this problem, it is urgent to explore effective and low cost adsorbents which can remove multiple heavy metal ions simultaneously. Herein, Cr(VI) and Ni(II) removal from water by MoS 2 with widened interlayer spacing was systematically investigated in comparison with pure MoS 2 . A series of techniques, including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area and porosimetry analysis were applied to characterize the nanocomposites. The XRD results confirmed the enlarged interlayer spacing of MoS 2 by intercalating cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) into the interlamination. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) for MoS 2 /CTAB were 79.4 mg g −1 and 88.3 mg g −1 , respectively. Moreover, a synergistic effect in the simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) was observed. A new Cr(VI) removal mechanism involving redox reaction between Cr(VI) and Mo(IV) in MoS 2 /CTAB was verified. The removal efficiencies of Cr(VI) and Ni(II) still remained high at the end of fifth cycle, indicating that MoS 2 /CTAB has a great potential to remove heavy metals from wastewater.

Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) has attracted wide attention to researchers on all walks of life for the treatment of stubborn pollutants because of the strong oxidizing properties. However, the electrode materials currently developed have problems such as short life and low catalytic activity. In this work, the modification of PbO 2 electrode was started by introducing into blue nanotubes (Blue-TiO 2 -NTs) based on the titanium plate to enhance the conductivity of the electrode. Then the β-PbO 2 active layer was optimized by using cerium (Ce) and dodecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) through the method of electrodeposition to improve the electrocatalytic oxidation and stability. In the experiment of electrochemical oxidation, the degradation efficiency of phenol (100 mg/L) reached more than 96% after 120 min on the Blue-TiO 2 /PbO 2 -Ce-CTAB electrode. To further investigate the optimization mechanism of the Blue-TiO 2 /PbO 2 -Ce-CTAB anode in the electrocatalytic oxidation process, the surface structure, morphology, volt-ampere charge, oxygen evolution potential, and charge transfer resistance were evaluated. The result showed that the addition of CTAB reduced the crystal particles of PbO 2 , higher specific surface area of the electrode longitudinally by the Ce element, lower oxygen evolution potential, and smaller the resistance of charge transfer. Finally, the service life of the electrode was 6792 h by the accelerated life test on the current density of 25 mA cm −2 . The energy consumption after 240 min of degradation was 0.079 kWh gCOD −1 .This research proves that the Blue-TiO 2 /PbO 2 -Ce-CTAB electrode has potential application value in the degradation of phenol wastewater.

The power conversion efficiency (PCE) reported for the inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is still less than that of the regular structure, and low open circuit voltage (V oc ) is one of the crucial problems for achieving high PCE in inverted PSCs. In this study, a new modification strategy was developed by doping poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly-(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS) with the cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) to passivate the bottom of perovskite layer and enhance properties of PEDOT:PSS. The work function of PEDOT: PSS was altered from −4.18 to −4.21 eV, the Fermi level of CTAB-doped PEDOT:PSS better fitted to the valence band of perovskite layer, thereby leading to a higher build-in voltage. As a result, the V oc increased by 70 mV, up to 0.90 V and the PCE of the device increased from 10.21% to 12.53%. Furthermore, the device based on CTAB-doped PEDOT:PSS still retained over 75% of the initial PCE after exposing the device in the ambient condition (20–40% humidity, 10–30 ℃) for 30 days.

Nitrite ions originate from various natural and anthropogenic sources and can cause health issues including methemoglobinemia and potential carcinogenic effects. As the nitrite in water has become an increasing threat to human health, the accurate evaluation of nitrite is urgently needed for environmental quality and safety management. In this paper, we designed a CTAB/SF5/GCE sensor, which exhibited an obvious enhancement compared to the pristine glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The morphology characterization confirmed the hexagonal nanosheets of SnS 2 and the even distribution of Fe element. The energy band, Tafel plots, and EIS spectroscopy were employed to investigate the enhancement mechanism, demonstrating that improving charge transfer on the sensing interface is crucial in enhanced signals. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was adopted as the electrochemical method to measure the nitrite in water and a sensitivity of 0.129 μA·μM −1 was exhibited in the range of 30–500 μM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was calculated to be 6.51 μM. The reliability including the repeatability, reproducibility, and stability of this sensor were estimated and showed satisfactory results. The test in real samples and the assessment of interfering substances showed the CTAB/SF5/GCE possesses a large potential in the practical application of electrochemical sensing of nitrite.

Micropillar array electrodes represent a promising avenue for enhancing detection sensitivity and response current. However, existing methods for depositing electrode materials on micropillar arrays often result in uneven distribution, with the thin sidewall layer being less conductive and prone to corrosion. In addressing this issue, this study introduces electroplating to enhance the copper layer on the sidewall of micropillar array electrodes. These electrodes, fabricated through standard microelectronics processes and electroplating, are proposed for non-enzymatic glucose detection, with the copper layer deposited via electroplating significantly enhancing sensitivity. Initially, the impact of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration as an inhibitor on the surface morphology and sensitivity of the plated layer was investigated. It was discovered that CTAB could decrease surface roughness, hinder the development of large and coarse grains, generate small particles, and boost sensitivity. Compared to the uncoated electrode and plating without CTAB, sensitivity was elevated by a factor of 1.66 and 1.62, respectively. Subsequently, the alterations in plating morphology and detection performance within a range of 0.3 ASD to 3 ASD were examined. Sensitivity demonstrated a tendency to increase initially and then decrease. The electrode plated at 0.75 ASD achieved a maximum sensitivity of 3314 μA·mM−1·cm−2and a detection limit of 15.9 μM. Furthermore, a potential mechanism explaining the impact of different morphology on detection performance due to CTAB and current density was discussed. It was believed that the presented effective strategy to enhance the sensitivity of micropillar array electrodes for glucose detection would promote the related biomedical detection applications.

Chromium-contaminated water is regarded as one of the biggest threats to human health. In this study, a novel magnetic mesoporous MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composite was prepared by a facile one-step modification method and applied to remove Cr(VI). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , specific surface area, and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to characterize MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composites. The morphology analysis showed that the composites displayed a core-shell structure. The outer shell was mesoporous silica with CTAB and the core was MnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles , which ensured the easy separation by an external magnetic field. The performance of MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composites in Cr(VI) removal was far better than that of bare MnFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles. There were two reasons for the effective removal of Cr(VI) by MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composites: (1) mesoporous silica shell with abundant CTA + significantly enhanced the Cr(VI) adsorption capacity of the composites; (2) a portion of Cr(VI) was reduced to less toxic Cr(III) by MnFe 2 O 4 , followed by Cr(III) immobilized on MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composites, which had been demonstrated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results. The adsorption of Cr(VI) onto MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB followed the Freundlich isotherm model and pseudo-second-order model. Tests on the regeneration and reuse of the composites were performed. The removal efficiency of Cr(VI) still retained 92.4% in the sixth cycle. MnFe 2 O 4 @SiO 2 −CTAB composites exhibited a great potential for the removal of Cr(VI) from water.

A structure of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) micelle-assisted reduced graphene oxide–Ag nanoparticle (rGO–AgNP) hybrids is designed and fabricated for SERS detection of nonpolar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), in which CTAB micelles act as the host material to capture PAH molecules. This method provides stable aqueous suspensions of functionalized graphene with an alkyl chain, since the rGO–AgNP hybrids do not need to be pre-modified by CTAB. The result shows that the CTAB-assisted rGO–AgNP substrate has excellent SERS performance toward PAHs and ideal stability under continuous laser radiation. With further optimization, the detection limits of pyrene and perylene were 10−6 M and 10−7 M, respectively. Two different PAH molecules could be detected simultaneously by their characteristic peaks.

In this study, we synthesized a bayberry-like Ni–Co–Mn ternary hydroxide with a secondary nanoneedle structure using a modified and cost-effective hydrothermal process assisted by the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The incorporation of CTAB and graphene in the preparation process significantly enhances the electrochemical performance of NiCoMn–OH. The achieved results are truly impressive, with a high specific capacity of 1450 F g −1 and an outstanding capacity retention of 52.57% over 5000 cycles. The superior performance could be attributed to the specific bayberry-like microstructure with high effective specific surface area, which allowed for facile and rapid transport of ions and electrons. Moreover, the synergistic effect of CTAB and graphene proved to be crucial in stabilizing the Co 2+ and Mn 2+ ions within the ternary hydroxide structure. We developed a hybrid capacitor using a NiCoMn–OH-CTAB/Graphene composite electrode and an active electrode, which delivered a superior energy density of 50.79 Wh kg −1 at a power density of 400 W kg −1 and a cycling stability of 60.37% after 10000 cycles. These results indicate that the NiCoMn–OH-CTAB/Graphene composite electrode has great potential as an electrode material for energy storage devices.

In this paper, the growth mechanism of prismatic carbon nitride at different temperatures was studied by using the mixed solution of CTAB and NaOH by thermal polycondensation-hydrothermal method, and a series of characterization methods were used to analyze and verify. The pollutant model MO solution was degraded and its photocatalytic activity was investigated under light. The results show that at a relatively low temperature, g-C 3 N 4 is a rod-like structure, and NaOH plays a major role. With the increase of temperature, CTAB plays a major role and can transport the primitives to form a rod, but also forms an ordered hydrophobic film on the crystal plane, which inhibits the growth of the rod-like structure on the (100) crystal plane and controls the extension on the (002) crystal plane. Its degradation rate is about 2.64 times that of pure g-C 3 N 4 . This significantly improves the separation rate of photogenerated electrons and the photocatalytic degradation efficiency.

A series of CTAB-templated Ni/Ce catalysts were synthesized by adding CTAB during the hydrothermal synthesis of ceria to improve the pore structure of catalysts. Their catalytic performance was evaluated in the steam reforming of acetic acid and the effects of CTAB concentration on the porous structures , reducibilities , morphology, and activity of catalysts were studied. The catalysts were characterized by BET, XRD , H 2 -TPR, XPS , HRTEM , in-situ DRIFTS , DTG , FTIR , and temperature-programmed reaction to elucidate the structure-activity relationship of the catalyst. The results showed that owing to the CTAB assistance, a high surface area of ceria could be achieved, which induced a better Ni dispersion with a smaller Ni size, strengthened the interaction between Ni and CeO 2 , and promoted the reducibility of Ni, obtaining higher activity and lower methane yield than Ni/Ce. Among these prepared samples, Ni/Ce–C6 showed the highest surface area and the best catalytic performance with a hydrogen yield of up to 82.5% even at a low temperature (550 °C). Owing to the stronger Ni-ceria interaction of Ni/Ce–C6, the lattice oxygen in ceria migrates easily to the Ni surface , interacts with the reaction intermediates, and thus improves the CO 2 /CO ratio in the products. Much more CO and CO 2 and less CH 4 were observed over Ni/Ce–C6 during the temperature-programmed reaction, indicating its high activity. In-situ DRFITS characterization demonstrated that the two types of catalysts had similar reaction intermediates but various adsorption and conversion abilities toward the acetic acid. More reaction intermediates were adsorbed at low temperatures and a higher conversion was obtained over Ni/Ce–C6 owing to its better Ni dispersion. The CTAB assistance inhibited the formation of amorphous carbon but facilitated the formation of graphitic carbon at ∼637 °C which did not induce catalyst deactivation .

An electrochemical sensing platform based on TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X nanohybrid, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been developed for the detection of nitrite. The TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X nanohybrid was synthesized by a two-step calcination process. The nanohybrid and its preparation process were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical methods were used to characterize and investigate the electrochemical behavior and nitrite response of TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X /CTAB/CS/GCE. Under optimized conditions, the prepared TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X /CTAB/CS/GCE electrode displayed two linear ranges from 0.003 to 0.25 mM and 0.25 to 1.25 mM with a detection limit of 0.85 μM. Furthermore, the practical applicability of the electrochemical sensor was validated by the detection of nitrite in water and milk samples with good recovery.
