[PMID: 38460422 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
Semiconductor metal oxides (SMOs) nanomaterials are a category of sensing materials that are widely applied to chemiresistive NOx gas sensors. However, there is much space to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials. Therefore, how to improve the sensing performance of SMOs nanomaterials for NOx gases has always attracted the interest of researchers. Up to now, there are few reviews focus on the modification strategies of SMOs which applied to NOx gas sensors. In order to compensate for the limitation, this review summarizes the existing modification strategies of SMOs, hoping to provide researchers a view of the research progress in this filed as comprehensive as possible. This review focuses on the progress of the modification of SMOs nanomaterials for chemiresistive NOx (NO, NO2) gas sensors, including the morphology modulation of SMOs, compositing SMOs, loading noble metals, doping metal ions, compositing with carbon nanomaterials, compositing with biomass template, and compositing with MXene, MOFs, conducting polymers. The mechanism of each strategy to enhance the NOx sensing performance of SMOs-based nanomaterials is also discussed and summarized. In addition, the limitations of some of the modification strategies and ways to address them are discussed. Finally, future perspectives for SMOs-based NOx gas sensors are also discussed.

A new approach of simultaneous adsorption and regeneration of activated carbon to address the bottlenecks of pharmaceutical wastewater treatment. WATER RESEARCH 2024; 252:121180. [PMID: 38301523 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2024.121180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
This study proposes a sustainable approach for hard-to-treat wastewater using sintered activated carbon (SAC) both as an adsorption filter and as an electrode, allowing its simultaneous electrochemical regeneration. SAC improves the activated carbon (AC) particle contact and thus the conductivity, while maintaining optimal liquid flow. The process removed 87 % of total organic carbon (TOC) from real high-load (initial TOC of 1625 mg/L) pharmaceutical wastewater (PWW), generated during the manufacturing of azithromycin, in 5 h, without external input of chemicals other than catalytic amounts of Fe(II). Kinetic modelling indicated that adsorption was the dominant process, while concomitant electrochemical degradation of complex organics first converted them to short-chain acids, followed by their full mineralization. In-situ electrochemical regeneration of SAC, taking place at the same time as the treatment, is a key feature of our process, enhancing its performance and ensuring its stable operation over time, while eliminating cleaning downtimes altogether. The energy consumption of this innovative process was remarkably low at 8.0×10-3 kWh gTOC-1. This study highlights the potential of SAC for treating hard-to-treat effluents by concurrent adsorption and mineralization of organics.

Abstract
It is desirable for a sustainable society that the production and utilization of renewable materials are net-zero in terms of carbon emissions. Carbon materials with emerging applications in CO2 utilization, renewable energy storage and conversion, and biomedicine have attracted much attention both academically and industrially. However, the preparation process of some new carbon materials suffers from energy consumption and environmental pollution issues. Therefore, the development of low-cost, scalable, industrially and economically attractive, sustainable carbon material preparation methods are required. In this regard, the use of biomass and its derivatives as a precursor of carbon materials is a major feature of sustainability. Recent advances in the synthetic strategy of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications are summarized in this short review. Emphasis is made on the discussion of the original intentions and various sustainable strategies for producing sustainable carbon materials. This review provides basic insights and significant guidelines for the further design of sustainable carbon materials and their emerging applications in catalysis and the biomedical field.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization is a second-generation water desalination technology in which porous electrodes (activated carbon materials) are used to temporarily store ions. In this technology, porous carbon used as electrodes have inherent limitations, such as low electrical conductivity, low capacitance, etc., and, as such, optimization of electrode materials by rational design to obtain hybrid electrodes is key towards improvement in desalination performance. In this work, different compositions of mixture of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and activated carbon (from 5 to 20 wt% RGO) have been prepared and tested as electrodes for brackish water desalination. The physico-chemical and electrochemical properties of the activated carbon (AC), reduced graphene oxide (RGO), and as-prepared electrodes (AC/RGO-x) were characterized by low-temperature nitrogen adsorption measurement, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infra-red (FT-IR), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Among all the composite electrodes, AC/RGO-5 (RGO at 5 wt%) possessed the highest specific capacitance (74 F g-1) and the highest maximum salt adsorption capacity (mSAC) of 8.10 mg g-1 at an operating voltage ∆E = 1.4 V. This shows that this simple approach could offer a potential way of fabricating electrodes of accentuated carbon network of an improved electronic conductivity that's much coveted in CDI technology.

Abstract
Lithium (Li) metal, a typical alkaline metal, has been hailed as the "holy grail" anode material for next generation batteries owing to its high theoretical capacity and low redox reaction potential. However, the uncontrolled Li plating/stripping issue of Li metal anodes, associated with polymorphous Li formation, "dead Li" accumulation, poor Coulombic efficiency, inferior cyclic stability, and hazardous safety risks (such as explosion), remains as one major roadblock for their practical applications. In principle, polymorphous Li deposits on Li metal anodes includes smooth Li (film-like Li) and a group of irregularly patterned Li (e.g., whisker-like Li (Li whiskers), moss-like Li (Li mosses), tree-like Li (Li dendrites), and their combinations). The nucleation and growth of these Li polymorphs are dominantly dependent on multiphysical fields, involving the ionic concentration field, electric field, stress field, and temperature field, etc. This review provides a clear picture and in-depth discussion on the classification and initiation/growth mechanisms of polymorphous Li from the new perspective of multiphysical fields, particularly for irregular Li patterns. Specifically, we discuss the impact of multiphysical fields' distribution and intensity on Li plating behavior as well as their connection with the electrochemical and metallurgical properties of Li metal and some other factors (e.g., electrolyte composition, solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer, and initial nuclei states). Accordingly, the studies on the progress for delaying/suppressing/redirecting irregular Li evolution to enhance the stability and safety performance of Li metal batteries are reviewed, which are also categorized based on the multiphysical fields. Finally, an overview of the existing challenges and the future development directions of metal anodes are summarized and prospected.

Abstract
Antioxidants are compounds that prevent or delay the oxidation process, acting at a much smaller concentration, in comparison to that of the preserved substrate. Primary antioxidants act as scavenging or chain breaking antioxidants, delaying initiation or interrupting propagation step. Secondary antioxidants quench singlet oxygen, decompose peroxides in non-radical species, chelate prooxidative metal ions, inhibit oxidative enzymes. Based on antioxidants’ reactivity, four lines of defense have been described: Preventative antioxidants, radical scavengers, repair antioxidants, and antioxidants relying on adaptation mechanisms. Carbon-based electrodes are largely employed in electroanalysis given their special features, that encompass large surface area, high electroconductivity, chemical stability, nanostructuring possibilities, facility of manufacturing at low cost, and easiness of surface modification. Largely employed methods encompass voltammetry, amperometry, biamperometry and potentiometry. Determination of key endogenous and exogenous individual antioxidants, as well as of antioxidant activity and its main contributors relied on unmodified or modified carbon electrodes, whose analytical parameters are detailed. Recent advances based on modifications with carbon-nanotubes or the use of hybrid nanocomposite materials are described. Large effective surface area, increased mass transport, electrocatalytical effects, improved sensitivity, and low detection limits in the nanomolar range were reported, with applications validated in complex media such as foodstuffs and biological samples.

Abstract
The selection and preparation of an electrode material is the core of capacitive deionization. In order to obtain a material with a good deionization properties, we have designed an environmentally-friendly and simple way of preparing biochar. In this work, biochar was prepared by a thermal-deposition method and after chemical modification it was characterized with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The specific surface area of biochar modified by KOH is as high as 833.76 m2 g−1, but the specific surface area of the unmodified electrode material is only 126.43 m2 g−1. The electrochemical analysis (CV and EIS) of the biochar indicates that HC-800 has a lower charge transfer resistance and a higher specific capacitance, where the specific capacity of HC-800 reaches 120 F g−1. A CDI property analysis of HC-800 shows a better electrosorption capacity of 11.52 mg g−1 and better regeneration and cycling stability than CS-800. The desalination amount remains 87.23% after several cycles.

In this work, the influence of oxygen-containing surface groups of activated carbon electrodes on the charge efficiency of electro-assisted adsorption of As(V) was investigated. It was distinguished between activated carbons modified through acidic (oxidation) and thermal (reduction) treatments, starting with a granular pristine commercial activated carbon of bituminous origin. The textural characterization of the three materials showed that the treatments did not produce significant changes in the surface area and in the distribution of pores. The three carbon samples were used to fabricate packed electrodes with stainless-steel mesh as electric current collector. This work report that the application of anodic potentials (1.01 and 1.41 V vs. NHE) increased the adsorption capacity and rate of arsenate uptake in solutions containing only this contaminant (2.5 mg L-1) at pH 7. The oxidized carbon electrode presented the lowest capacitance and adsorption capacity during electroadsorption (0.33 mg g-1), compared to pristine material (1.77 mg g-1). On the other hand, the reduced electrode displayed the highest adsorption capacity of arsenate (3.14 mg g-1) when applying a potential of 1.01 V. The results were correlated with the potential of zero charge values. In addition, for this material, the rate of kinetics increased 26.7 % compared to experiments without applied potential.

Enhancing the Desalination Performance of Capacitive Deionization Using a Layered Double Hydroxide Coated Activated Carbon Electrode. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising desalination technology because of its simple, high energy efficient, and eco-friendly process. Among several factors that can affect the desalination capacitance of CDI, wettability of the electrode is considered one of the important parameters. However, various carbon materials commonly have a hydrophobic behavior that disturbs the ion transfer between the bulk solution and the surface of the electrode. In this study, we fabricated a layered double hydroxide (LDH) coated activated carbon electrode using an in-situ growth method to enhance the wettability of the surface of the carbon electrode. The well-oriented and porous LDH layer resulted in a better wettability of the activated carbon electrode, attributing to an enhanced capacitance compared with that of the uncoated activated carbon electrode. Furthermore, from the desalination tests of the CDI system, the LDH coated carbon electrode showed a higher salt adsorption capacity (13.9 mg/g) than the uncoated carbon electrode (11.7 mg/g). Thus, this enhanced desalination performance suggests that the improvement in the wettability of the carbon electrode by the LDH coating provides facile ion transfer between the electrode and electrolyte.

Abstract
The physicochemical modification of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) is a current challenge in the search to improve their performance in different technological applications. In this work we analyze the post-synthetic modification of ZIF-8 crystals and films through a simple and clean treatment that involves the exposure to a UV lamp under environmental conditions. It is demonstrated that a short treatment alters the MOF structure and chemistry, providing a modified ZIF-8 due to partial disconnections of its structure which increase the amount of terminal surface species such as Zn-OH and -C=N-H, but without compromising the overall MOF structure, specific surface area or thermal stability. Additionally, it leads to changes in several properties of the ZIF-8, such as its capacity to accumulate charge through pseudocapacitive processes, its interaction with nitric oxide and its light absorption behavior. This strategy of modifying ZIF-8 without the use of chemicals through a gentle disconnection of its own structure could open new perspectives of post-functionalization of crystals and films of ZIF-8 to be used in a wide range of applications.

Abstract
As a consequence of their unique characteristics, the use of Engineered Nanomaterials (ENMs) is rapidly increasing in industrial, agricultural products, as well as in environmental technology. However, this fast expansion and use make likely their release into the environment with particular concerns for the aquatic ecosystems, which tend to be the ultimate sink for this type of contaminants. Considering the settling behaviour of particulates, benthic organisms are more likely to be exposed to these compounds. In this way, the present review aims to summarise the most recent data available from the literature on ENMs behaviour and fate in aquatic ecosystems, focusing on their ecotoxicological impacts towards marine and estuarine bivalves. The selection of ENMs presented here was based on the OECD's Working Party on Manufactured Nanomaterials (WPMN), which involves the safety testing and risk assessment of ENMs. Physical-chemical characteristics and properties, applications, environmental relevant concentrations and behaviour in aquatic environment, as well as their toxic impacts towards marine bivalves are discussed. Moreover, it is also identified the impacts derived from the simultaneous exposure of marine organisms to ENMs and climate changes as an ecologically relevant scenario.

Abstract
Carbon black (CB), a material consisting of finely divided particles, can be obtained by the partial combustion of heavy petroleum feedstock. The commercial preparation of CB nanoparticles require sophisticated equipment, chemical pre-treatment, and combination of complex separation and purification techniques. CB nanoparticles can also be recovered from scrubbed rubber, but yields are modest and the process is technically complex. Here, we report the development of a simple and inexpensive method for the preparation of CB nanoparticles from waste tires. Under optimal conditions, the yield of recovered CB nanoparticles (∼22 nm) was of approximately 81%; the nanomaterial presents good thermal stability and conductivity, and forms chain-like agglomerates; chemical composition analysis and solubility tests indicates that it is partly oxidized (C, 84.9%; S, 10.21%; O, 4.9%). The product was fully characterized by FTIR, Raman, TGA, BET, SEM and TEM. This preparation method could become a viable alternative to reduce the large amount of waste tires and decreasing their negative environmental impact, producing good quality CB nanoparticles useful for batteries, sensors, electronic devices, catalysis, pigments, concrete, and plastics, among many other applications.

Abstract
Technologies for the effective and energy efficient removal of salt from saline media for advanced water remediation are in high demand. Capacitive deionization using carbon electrodes is limited to highly diluted salt water. Our work demonstrates the high desalination performance of the silver/silver chloride conversion reaction by a chloride ion rocking-chair desalination mechanism. Silver nanoparticles are used as positive electrodes while their chlorination into AgCl particles produces the negative electrode in such a combination that enables a very low cell voltage of only Δ200 mV. We used a chloride-ion desalination cell with two flow channels separated by a polymeric cation exchange membrane. The optimized electrode paring between Ag and AgCl achieves a low energy consumption of 2.5 kT per ion when performing treatment with highly saline feed (600 mM NaCl). The cell affords a stable desalination capacity of 115 mg g−1 at a charge efficiency of 98%. This performance aligns with a charge capacity of 110 mA h g−1. The silver/silver chloride conversion reaction allows for a high desalination capacity of saline media with high molar strength.![]()

Abstract
We report a directional flow-aided sonochemistry exfoliation technique that allows for unparalleled control of graphene structural order and chemical uniformity. Depending on the orientation of the shockwave relative to the flow-aligned graphite flakes, the resultant bilayer and trilayer graphene is nearly defect free (at-edge sonication graphene "AES-G") or is highly defective (in-plane sonication graphene "IPS-G"). AES-G has a Raman G/D band intensity ratio of 14.3 and an XPS-derived O content of 1.3 at. %, while IPS-G has an IG/D of 1.6 and 6.2 at. % O. AES-G and IPS-G are then employed to understand the role of carbon support structure and chemistry in Na metal plating/stripping for sodium metal battery anodes. The presence of graphene defects and oxygen groups is highly deleterious: In a standard carbonate solution (1 M NaClO4, 1:1 EC-DEC, 5 vol % FEC), AES-G gives stable cycling at 2 mA/cm2 with 100% Coulombic efficiency (CE) (within instrument accuracy) and an area capacity of 1 mAh/cm2. Meanwhile IPS-G performs on-par with the baseline Cu support in terms of poor CE, severe mossy metal dendrites, and periodic electrical shorts. We argue that solid electrolyte interface (SEI) stability is the key for stable cycling, with defects of IPS-G being catalytic toward SEI formation. For IPS-G, the SEI layer also shows F-rich "hot spots" due to accelerated decomposition of FEC additive in localized regions.

Abstract
Recently, lithium oxygen battery has become a promising candidate to satisfy the current large-energy-storage devices demand because of its amazing theoretical energy density. However, it still faces problems such as poor reversibility and short cycle life. Here, citrus maxima peel (CMP) was used as a precursor to prepare activated and Fe-loading carbon (CMPACs and CMPACs-Fe, respectively) via pyrolysis in nitrogen atmosphere at 900 °C, in which KOH was added as an activator. Electrochemical measurements show that CMPAC-based Li-O2 battery possesses high specific capacity of 7800 mA h/g, steady cycling performance of 466 cycles with a corresponding Coulombic efficiency of 92.5%, good rate capability, and reversibility. Besides, CMPACs-Fe-based O2 electrode delivers even lower overpotential in both charge and discharge processes. We conclude that these excellent electrochemical performances of CMPACs and CMPACs-Fe-based O2 electrode benefit from their cellular porous structure, plenty of active sites, and large specific surface area (900 and 768 m2/g), which suggest that these biomass-derived porous carbons might become promising candidates to achieve efficient lithium oxygen battery.

Abstract
The silica-water interface is critical to many modern technologies in chemical engineering and biosensing. One technology used commonly in biosensors, the potentiometric sensor, operates by measuring the changes in electric potential due to changes in the interfacial electric field. Predictive modelling of this response caused by surface binding of biomolecules remains highly challenging. In this work, through the most extensive molecular dynamics simulation of the silica-water interfacial potential and electric field to date, we report a novel prediction and explanation of the effects of nano-morphology on sensor response. Amorphous silica demonstrated a larger potentiometric response than an equivalent crystalline silica model due to increased sodium adsorption, in agreement with experiments showing improved sensor response with nano-texturing. We provide proof-of-concept that molecular dynamics can be used as a complementary tool for potentiometric biosensor response prediction. Effects that are conventionally neglected, such as surface morphology, water polarisation, biomolecule dynamics and finite-size effects, are explicitly modelled.

Abstract
Capacitive deionization (CDI) is a promising salt removal technology with high energy efficiency when applied to low molar concentration aqueous electrolytes. As an interfacial process, ion electrosorption during CDI operation is sensitive to the pore structure and the total pore volume of carbon electrodes limits the maximum salt adsorption capacity (SAC). Thus, activation of carbons as a widely used method to enhance the porosity of a material should also be highly attractive for improving SAC values. In our study, we use easy-to-scale and facile-to-apply CO2-activation at temperatures between 950 °C and 1020 °C to increase the porosity of commercially available activated carbon. While the pore volume and surface area can be significantly increased up to 1.51 cm(3) g(-1) and 2113 m(2) g(-1), this comes at the expense of making the carbon more hydrophobic. We present a novel strategy to capitalize on the improved pore structure by admixing as received (more hydrophilic) carbon with CO2-treated (more hydrophobic) carbon for CDI electrodes without using membranes. This translates into an enhanced charge storage ability in high and low molar concentrations (1 M and 5 mM NaCl) and significantly improved CDI performance (at 5 mM NaCl). In particular, we obtain stable CDI performance at 0.86 charge efficiency with 13.1 mg g(-1) SAC for an optimized 2:1 mixture (by mass).

Abstract
We report a new electrochemical capacitor with an aqueous KI-KOH electrolyte that exhibits a higher specific energy and power than the state-of-the-art nonaqueous electrochemical capacitors. In addition to electrical double layer capacitance, redox reactions in this device contribute to charge storage at both positive and negative electrodes via a catholyte of IOx-/I- couple and a redox couple of H2O/Had, respectively. Here, we, for the first time, report utilizing IOx-/I- redox couple for the positive electrode, which pins the positive electrode potential to be 0.4-0.5 V vs Ag/AgCl. With the positive electrode potential pinned, we can polarize the cell to 1.6 V without breaking down the aqueous electrolyte so that the negative electrode potential could reach -1.1 V vs Ag/AgCl in the basic electrolyte, greatly enhancing energy storage. Both mass spectroscopy and Raman spectrometry confirm the formation of IO3- ions (+5) from I- (-1) after charging. Based on the total mass of electrodes and electrolyte in a practically relevant cell configuration, the device exhibits a maximum specific energy of 7.1 Wh/kg, operates between -20 and 50 °C, provides a maximum specific power of 6222 W/kg, and has a stable cycling life with 93% retention of the peak specific energy after 14,000 cycles.
