In this investigation, the surface tribological behavior of YG8/TC4 contacts under microgel lubrication was explored, utilizing thermal- and pH-sensitive PNIPAM-co-PAA-(IF-MoS 2 /GO) composite microgels as lubricant additives. Through the application of a ball-on-disk reciprocating tribometer, the study demonstrated the outstanding lubrication capabilities of the composite microgels. The lubrication process involving PNIPAM-co-PAA-(IF-MoS 2 /GO) composite microgels initiated a tribo-chemical reaction, leading to the generation of a larger quantity of TiS 2 with exceptional lubricating properties on the friction surface compared to alternative lubrication conditions. The effective isolation of the friction pair by PNIPAM-co-PAA composite microgels contributed to the reduction in tribo-oxidation of the sliding surfaces , while the presence of IF-MoS 2 facilitated the formation of TiS 2 . Furthermore, the facile sliding property of GO nanosheets played a crucial role in achieving overall excellent lubrication performance. The synergistic effects arising from the components in PNIPAM-co-PAA-(IF-MoS 2 /GO) composite microgels introduce a novel and effective strategy for controlling the friction and wear of YG8/TC4 contacts.

Developing the high-efficient and robust antifouling membranes for oily emulsions to achieve the purpose of prolonging the service life of the membrane shows great demand because of the restriction of hydration anti-fouling mechanism strategy to against pollution. Herein, a hydrophilic photo-Fenton-like catalyst – GO/Fe-MOF assembled stabilized polyacrylonitrile (SPAN) nanofibrous membrane with underwater superoleophobicity, robust mechanical strength and photo-Fenton self-cleaning performance was firstly designed and fabricated via ultrasonic assistance, mussel-inspired fixation and low temperature hydrothermal synthesis methods. In this work, benefiting by the regulable amounts of GO nanosheets on the SPAN@GO/M88A membrane surface, the obtained membrane possessed sub-micrometer skin layer, which guarantees the balance of fast permeation flux (920–7083 ± 47 L m −2 h −1 ) and separation efficiency (>99.2%) for diesel/water emulsion with small emulsified oils. Moreover, introduced hydrophilic Metal-organic frame nanoparticles (MIL-88A (Fe)) into modified membrane endowed underwater anti-oil-fouling and photo-Fenton catalytic degradation performance for organic contaminants. Meanwhile, the charged GO/M88A heterostructure can assist to achieve demulsification for separation of surfactant-stabilized emulsions by strong electrostatic force. More importantly, attached and irremovable contaminants on the membrane can be quickly removed by photo-Fenton self-cleaning method, and achieved over 96% of recovery flux recovery ratio, which effectively prolonged the service life of the membrane. We believe the newly designed SPAN@GO/M88A membrane with hydration antifouling and photo-Fenton self-cleaning properties can stimulate more studies on revivable separation membranes for multifunctional applications.

This study focuses on the preparation of a highly active surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) substrate, where Ag nanoparticles synthesized by the Lee–Meisel method are loaded onto the surface of GO@PVP nanoparticles through classical electrostatic attraction. The substrate was characterized by SEM and XPS analysis. The SERS-active substrate was utilized for the detection of phenanthrene in aqueous solutions, achieving a detection limit of 10−8g/L (5.6 × 10−11mol/L). In comparison to conventional Raman spectroscopy, this method exhibits a significant reduction in the detection limit and holds promise for trace polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) monitoring in environmental samples.

Airborne formaldehyde (HCHO) in indoor environments causes serious health problems and needs to be efficiently eliminated. However, the efficient and stable catalytic oxidation of HCHO can be hardly achieved at room temperature over transition metal oxides due to the limited exposure of active sites. Herein, δ-MnO 2 @GO catalysts were originally synthesized via a facile in situ growth of δ-MnO 2 on the trace graphene oxide (GO) substrate (1%) and stably exhibited nearly 100% HCHO elimination at room temperature. δ-MnO 2 @GO showed the unique 2D coralloid structure with uniformly dispersed δ-MnO 2 nanorod on planar-structured GO, which greatly enhanced the exposure of catalytic sites and mass transfer of reactants. The abundant surface reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups were rapidly generated from the activation of O 2 and surface-adsorbed water over highly exposed catalytic sites. The ROS and -OH groups cooperated well cooperated to maintain the exceptional catalytic activity and stability towards HCHO degradation. In-situ DRIFTS results showed that catalytic HCHO oxidation predominantly follows the Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) mechanism over the δ-MnO 2 @GO. This study presents a simple yet effective strategy for maximizing exposure to catalytic active sites and rational design of efficient catalysts for indoor HCHO elimination.

A new hydrazine electrochemical sensor was fabricated based on in situ synthesis of Cu 3 (BTC) 2 /GO nanocomposite. Cu 3 (BTC) 2 /GO composite were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). Meanwhile, the electrochemical behaviors of hydrazine on the Cu 3 (BTC) 2 /GO/GCE were studied by cyclic voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry. Under the optimized conditions, Cu 3 (BTC) 2 /GO/GCE had enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward hydrazine due to synergic catalytic effect between Cu 3 (BTC) 2 and GO. The electrochemical sensor exhibited a wider linear range (1.0 µM to 5000 µM) and a lower detection limit (0.5 μM) as well as good reproducibility and stability. The proposed sensor has also been used for the determination of hydrazine in tap water with satisfactory results.

CdS, as a visible-light responsible photocatalyst , has gained considerable attentions for its relatively narrow bandgap and negative conduction band edge. However, its photocatalytic activity is hindered by challenges such as severe charge recombination, insufficient active sites and poor stability. In this work, a robust strategy is proposed to optimize the transfer channel for charge carriers and enhance the active sites by heterojunction and cocatalyst engineering. The well-designed GO/CdS/MoS 2 shows remarkable durability (20 h without significant loss of H 2 production rate) with a high photocatalytic H 2 production rate of 1.45 mmol h −1 g −1 (about 6.6-fold enhancement compared with CdS) at GO content of 0.1 wt% and MoS 2 loading amount of 5.0 wt%. The bolstered H 2 production rate is attributed to the augmented transfer channels of mass owing to the holey structure of GO , the enhanced active sites since the introduction of MoS 2 , and the unidirectional transfer of electrons from CdS to MoS 2 , which is ascribed to the built-in electric field in the CdS/MoS 2 interface. Thanks to the directional transfer of holes from CdS to GO in the GO/CdS interface, the assemblage of holes in CdS is prevented, thus contributing to the amplified stability GO/CdS/MoS 2 . Our findings offer insights for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of CdS based photocatalysts, which may inspire the development of the heterostructure photocatalysts for solar-to-fuel conversion.

The detection of bifenthrin is closely related to the adsorption of SERS substrates. In this study, superparamagnetic Fe3O4@Au MNPs coated with GO were used to detect the adsorption and enrichment of bifenthrin molecules with benzene rings. Firstly, the thermal solvent method synthesized Fe3O4magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with a particle size of ~250 nm. Next, polyethylene imide (PEI) was used as an intermediate layer to modify the surface of Fe3O4to form a positively charged ultra-thin polymer middle layer. Next, the gold shell was developed by adsorption of ~20 nm AuNPs, without affecting the magnetic properties. Then, the additional amount of colloidal gold and GO on SERS performance was systematically studied. Using crystal violet (CV) as the probe, we investigated the SERS performance of composite nanomaterials. The lowest detected concentration reached 10−8mol/L, confirming that the composite functional material had good SERS activity and magnetic properties. Finally, the substrate was used to detect bifenthrin in an acetone solution, and the lowest detection concentration was 10−8mol/L. These results showed that the prepared GO/Fe3O4@Au MNPs were efficient SERS substrates that could detect bifenthrin pesticide residue with high sensitivity.

The dangers of organic dye pollutants and environmental pollution improvement through photocatalytic degradation are important courses in applied chemistry programs in universities. Zinc oxide (ZnO)-based nanomaterials are potent catalytic agents against organic dyes, but few experiments are available for students to understand their role and mechanism in class. Herein, we designed a comprehensive experiment across 24 class hours for undergraduates to investigate the photodegradation of colored organic dyes, including methylene blue, methyl orange, methyl violet, rhodamine B, basic fuchsin, and thymolphthalein, by a nanocomposite composed of ZnO-coated graphene oxide (ZnO/GO). This nanomaterial was prepared using a facile heating reflux method within 1 h. Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were introduced to students to characterize the synthesized products. Students could observe the time- and dose-dependent degradation as well as the reusability of ZnO/GO. Additionally, the addition of t-butanol, benzoquinone, and triethanolamine, scavengers of hydroxyl radical (•OH), superoxide anion (•O2–), and hole (h+), respectively, to the degradation system allowed them to master the underlying catalytic mechanism of ZnO/GO. This experiment improves students’ understanding of the photocatalytic effect of ZnO nanomaterials and stimulates them to engage in the field of applied chemistry and thus is worth recommending to undergraduates.

Degradable, flame retardant, and flexible nanocomposite films with low dielectric constant were prepared with poly (lactic acid) (PLA), nano ZIF-8@GO, and degradable flame-retardant resorcinol di(phenyl phosphate) (RDP). The SEM results of the fractured surfaces indicated that ZIF-8@GO and RDP were dispersed uniformly in the PLA matrix. The prepared films had good mechanical properties and the tensile strength of the film with 1.5 wt% of ZIF-8@GO was increased to 48.2 MPa, compared with 38.5 MPa of pure PLA. Meanwhile, the nanocomposite films were flexible due to the toughing effect of RDP. Moreover, above 27.0% of limited oxygen index (LOI) and a VTM-0 rating were achieved for the nanocomposite films. The effects of nano ZIF-8@GO hybrids and RDP on the dielectric properties were investigated, and the results showed that ZIF-8@GO and RDP were beneficial in reducing the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the nanocomposites.

Developing highly efficient, low-cost and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is momentous to achieve the conversion and storage of sustainable energy. Herein, the CoFe(OH) x / GO composites with accordion-like CoFe(OH) x nanosheets clusters dispersed on graphene oxide (GO) sheets are prepared via a template-assisted route. It is found that the OER performance of the CoFe(OH) x / GO composites strongly depends on the content of GO and the mole ratio of Co/Fe. The optimized CoFe(OH) x / GO composites exhibit remarkably enhanced OER electrocatalytic activity in 1 M KOH with a low overpotential of 294 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a small Tafel slope of 63.4 mV dec −1 , which are far superior to the corresponding Co(OH) 2 / GO and bare CoFe(OH) x . The enhanced electrocatalytic activity can be ascribed to the regulated electronic structure surrounding the active metal sites by introducing Fe, the improved conductivity by GO for faster charge transfer, and the accordion-like hierarchical structure with increased accessible active sites. This work demonstrates a comprehensive strategy to improve the electrocatalytic performance of transition metal hydroxide based OER catalysts.

Non-fluorinated chitosan-based proton exchange membranes (PEMs) have been attracting considerable interest due to their environmental friendliness and relatively low cost. However, low proton conductivity and poor physicochemical properties have limited their application in fuel cells. In this work, a reinforced nanofiller (sulfonated CS/GO, S-CS/GO) is accomplished, for the first time, via a facile amidation and sulfonation reaction. Novel chitosan-based composite PEMs are successfully constructed by the incorporation of the nanofiller into the chitosan matrix. Additionally, the effects of the type and amount of the nanofillers on physicochemical and electrochemical properties are further investigated. It is demonstrated that the chitosan-based composite PEMs incorporating an appropriate amount of the nanofillers (9 wt.%) exhibit good membrane-forming ability, physicochemical properties, improved proton conductivity, and low methanol permeability even under a high temperature and low humidity environment. When the incorporated amounts of S-CS/GO are 9 wt.%, the proton conductivity of the composite PEMs was up to 0.032 S/cm but methanol permeability was decreased to 1.42 × 10 −7 cm 2 /s. Compared to a pristine CS membrane, the tensile strength of the composite membrane is improved by 98% and the methanol permeability is reduced by 51%.

Marine biological fouling is the undesirable accumulation on the surfaces of submerged objects and causes environmental and economic consequence to ships and marine facilities. However, traditional coatings achieve antifouling by releasing toxic heavy metal antifouling agents, causing ecological problems. And the static antifouling performance of self-polishing antifouling coating is not good. To overcome the shortcoming, a novel antifouling strategy to build a self-renewing multi-level microstructure on the coating surface was developed by dispersing GO-based quaternary polymer brushes in a self-polishing fluoro/silyl acrylate copolymer . Quaternized GO exhibits excellent dispersibility in the silyl-based acrylate copolymer. A dynamic self-renewing surface is realized for the coating via a self-polishing effect that exposes the filler inside the coating at the surface. The multi-level microstructure of the sharp edge of GO and quaternized “spear” structure destroys the cell wall of organisms. And a “water-shield” on amphoteric ion surface on quaternized GO inhibits adhesion of organisms. The antibacterial and anti-algae tests demonstrated the excellent antifouling effect of the coating at only 0.1% (mass) filler content , with anti-algae ratio against Nitzschia closterium ( N. closterium ), Phaeodactylum tricornutum ( P. tricornutum ) and Halamphora sp. of 83.7%, 52.4%, and 65.8%, respectively. The proposed preparation method is simple and potentially applicable to large-scale production for antifouling application.
