Saeed-Ul-Hassan M, Ehtisham M, Badawi AK, Khan AM, Khan RA, Ismail B. A comparative study of moisture adsorption on GO, MOF-5, and GO/MOF-5 composite for applications in atmospheric water harvesting. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2024; 6:3668-3679. [PMID: 38989524 PMCID: PMC11232537 DOI: 10.1039/d4na00150h] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Water scarcity is an alarming situation across the globe. Several methods have been reported in the literature to minimize the water shortage problem. Sorbent-based atmospheric water harvesting (SBAWH) is considered an energy-efficient, low-cost strategy, and sustainable approach. In the present study, the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) was carried out using a modified Hummers' method, while the synthesis of MOF-5 and a GO/MOF-5 composite was carried out using a solvothermal approach. The synthesized materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The phase composition and crystallinity of all synthesized samples were confirmed by XRD analysis. SEM analysis provided information about the surface morphology of all synthesized samples. The adsorption of water vapors on surfaces of GO, MOF-5, and the GO/MOF-5 composite was evaluated by FTIR analysis. The negative charge was explored by the PZC technique on the surface of all synthesized materials. The water adsorption characteristics of GO, MOF-5, and the GO/MOF-5 composite were evaluated using an atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) plant. The maximum adsorption capacity of 542 mg g-1 was achieved by the MOF at 55% RH (relative humidity), while a low adsorption capacity of the MOF was observed at higher humidity values. This problem was overcome by making a GO/MOF-5 composite. GO imparts structural stability to the MOF-5 structure at higher humidity values. The maximum adsorption capacity of 1137 mg g-1 was achieved by the GO/MOF-5 composite at 75% RH. Several isotherm models, such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin, were applied to confirm the single-site occupation by water molecules and chemisorption behavior. Several thermodynamic properties were calculated, including isosteric heat (Q st), Gibbs free energy (ΔG), and sorption entropy (ΔS). The overall thermodynamics study confirms that the adsorption process is spontaneous and exothermic. In addition, second-order kinetics confirms that all synthesized material shows chemisorption behavior.

Biochar with enhanced performance prepared based on "graphite-structure regulation" conjecture designed to effectively control water pollution. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 931:172973. [PMID: 38705294 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/07/2024]
Abstract
In this work, corn straw was used as raw material, Hummers method and activation were used to adjust the graphite structure in biochar, and preparing straw based biochar (H-BCS) with ultra-high specific surface area (3441.80 m2/g), highly total pore volume (1.9859 cm3/g), and further enhanced physicochemical properties. Compared with untreated straw biochar (BCS), the specific surface area and total pore volume of H-BCS were increased by 47.24 % and 55.85 %, respectively. H-BCS showed good removal ability in subsequent experiments by using chloramphenicol (CP), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), and crystal violet (CV) as adsorption models. In addition, the adsorption capacities of H-BCS (CP: 1396.30 mg/g, Cr6+: 218.40 mg/g, and CV: 1246.24 mg/g) are not only higher than most adsorbents, even after undergoing 5 cycles of regeneration, its adsorption capacity remains above 80 %, indicating significant potential for practical applications. In addition, we also speculated and analyzed the conjecture about the "graphite-structure regulation" during the preparation process, and finally discussed the possible mechanism during the adsorption processes. We hope this work could provide a new strategy to solve the restriction of biochar performance by further exploring the regulation of graphite structure in carbon materials.

Synthesis of multi-layer graphene oxide from HCl-treated coke and Brazilian coals by sulfuric acid thermal exfoliation and ozone oxidation. Heliyon 2024; 10:e30546. [PMID: 38726133 PMCID: PMC11079322 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e30546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study involved the synthesis and characterization of graphene oxide (GO) from mineral coke and bituminous coal. HCl treated and non-HCl treated ultrafine powder obtained from both precursors were treated with H2SO4, followed by thermal treatment, and oxidation with ozone and ultra-sonication for GO production. The synthesized materials were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential (ZP), particle size distribution (PSD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The results confirmed the exfoliation of the material primarily at the edges of its structure and the formation of multilayer graphene oxide (GO) from mineral coke and bituminous coal. Furthermore, it was found that carbonaceous materials with graphitic morphology are easier to exfoliate and oxidize, leading to the production of higher quality graphene oxide. Therefore, the GO synthesized from mineral coke exhibited the best quality in this study. The methodology used proposes an innovative approach, offering a faster, more economical, and environmentally friendly synthesis compared to the traditional Hummers' method, thereby adding value to other raw materials that can be utilized in this process, such as Brazilian coke and coal.

Abstract
Graphene is an extraordinary material with unique mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. Additionally, it boasts high surface area and antimicrobial properties, making it an attractive option for researchers exploring innovative materials for biomedical applications. Although there have been various studies on graphene applications in different biomedical fields, limited reviews have been conducted on its use in dentistry, and no reviews have focused on its application in the orthodontic field. This review aims to present a comprehensive overview of graphene-based materials, with an emphasis on their antibacterial mechanisms and the factors that influence these properties. Additionally, the review summarizes the dental applications of graphene, spotlighting the studies of its orthodontic application as they can be used to enhance the antibacterial and mechanical properties of orthodontic materials such as adhesives, archwires, and splints. Also, they can be utilized to enhance bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. An electronic search was carried out in Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Wiley Online Library digital database platforms using graphene and orthodontics as keywords. The search was restricted to English language publications without a time limit. This review highlights the need for further laboratory and clinical research using graphene-based materials to improve the properties of orthodontic materials to make them available for clinical use.

[PMID: 38257014 PMCID: PMC10819262 DOI: 10.3390/polym16020215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Tungsten is the most effective eco-friendly material used for radiation shielding in hospitals. However, despite its commendable density and shielding performance, tungsten faces challenges in miscibility with other materials because of its elevated melting point and strength. In this study, to protect medical personnel against scattered rays, which are indirect X-rays, a lightweight material was prepared by mixing graphite oxide material, considering its thinness and flexibility. Tungsten particles were evenly dispersed in the polymer, and nanofibers were prepared using this blended polymer solution via electrospinning. Concurrently, the process technology was explored to craft a thin film sheet and obtain a lead-like shielding effect. A spinning solution was prepared by mixing Fe3O4-rGO (FerGO) and tungsten. At 60 kVp, 0.1 mm was measured as 0.097 mmPb, at 80 kVp, 0.2 mm was measured as 0.196 mmPb, and at 100 kVp, 0.3 mm was measured as 0.279 mmPb, showing similar shielding performance to lead. As density directly affects the shielding effect, graphene oxide played an important role in increasing the density of the material from 1.941 g/cm3 to 2.302 g/cm3. Thus, this study provides an effective process for producing thin film sheets equivalent to lead.

Abstract
In this study, composite materials composed of graphene oxide (GO) synthesized by a modified Hummers' method and silver nanowires (AgNWs) synthesized by a modified polyol method were prepared. The prepared composites were subjected to sulfidation under the influence of H2S gas. Structural changes in the samples were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The binding nature of the composite was characterized using FT-IR spectroscopy. Optical properties and band gap values were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. The morphology of the composites was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A simple method using H2S gas was applied for the sulphidation process of the samples. The sulfidation process was successful under the influence of H2S gas, resulting in an increased distance between the GO layers and a decrease in the band gap value for the composite post-sulfidation. In addition, AgNWs were observed to decompose into Ag2S nanoparticles under the influence of H2S gas. It was determined that the value of the band gap of the sample changes because of sulphidation.

Abstract
There is a significant concern about the accessibility of uncontaminated and safe drinking water, a fundamental necessity for human beings. This concern is attributed to the toxic micropollutants from several emission sources, including industrial toxins, agricultural runoff, wastewater discharges, sewer overflows, landfills, algal blooms and microbiota. Emerging micropollutants (EMs) encompass a broad spectrum of compounds, including pharmaceutically active chemicals, personal care products, pesticides, industrial chemicals, steroid hormones, toxic nanomaterials, microplastics, heavy metals, and microorganisms. The pervasive and enduring nature of EMs has resulted in a detrimental impact on global urban water systems. Of late, these contaminants are receiving more attention due to their inherent potential to generate environmental toxicity and adverse health effects on humans and aquatic life. Although little progress has been made in discovering removal methodologies for EMs, a basic categorization procedure is required to identify and restrict the EMs to tackle the problem of these emerging contaminants. The present review paper provides a crude classification of EMs and their associated negative impact on aquatic life. Furthermore, it delves into various nanotechnology-based approaches as effective solutions to address the challenge of removing EMs from water, thereby ensuring potable drinking water. To conclude, this review paper addresses the challenges associated with the commercialization of nanomaterial, such as toxicity, high cost, inadequate government policies, and incompatibility with the present water purification system and recommends crucial directions for further research that should be pursued.

Abstract
More than 60% of India's population relies on agriculture as their primary source of income, making it the nation's most important economic sector. Rice husk (often abbreviated as RH) is one of the most typical by-products of agricultural production. Every five tonnes of rice that is harvested results in the production of one tonne of husk. The concept of recycling and reusing waste from agricultural production has received interest from a variety of environmental and industrial perspectives. A wide variety of nanomaterials, including nano-zeolite, nanocarbon, and nano-silica, have been discovered in agro-waste. From rice cultivation to the finished product, there was a by-product consisting of husk that comprised 20% of the overall weight, or RH. The percentage of silica in RH ash ranges from 60 to 40%, with the remaining percentage consisting of various minerals. As a direct consequence of this, several distinct approaches to generating and extracting nanomaterial from rice husk have been developed. Because it contains a significant amount of cellulose and lignin, RH is an excellent and economical source of carbon precursor. The goal of this chapter is to produce carbon-based nanomaterials from RH.

Abstract
The development of two-dimensional (2D) materials for biomedical applications has accelerated exponentially. Contrary to their bulk counterparts, the exceptional properties of 2D materials make them highly prospective for contrast agents for bioimage, drug, and heat delivery in biomedical treatment. Nevertheless, empty space in the integration and utilisation of 2D materials in living biological systems, potential toxicity, as well as required complicated synthesis and high-cost production limit the real application of 2D materials in those advance medical treatments. On the other hand, green technology appears to be one of strategy to shed a light on the blurred employment of 2D in medical applications, thus, with the increasing reports of green technology that promote advanced technologies, here, we compile, summarise, and synthesise information on the biomedical technology of 2D materials through green technology point of view. Beginning with a fundamental understanding, of crystal structures, the working mechanism, and novel properties, this article examines the recent development of 2D materials. As well as 2D materials made from natural and biogenic resources, a recent development in green-related synthesis was also discussed. The biotechnology and biomedical-related application constraints are also discussed. The challenges, solutions, and prospects of the so-called green 2D materials are outlined.

Abstract
The presence of organic contaminants (OCs) in aquatic systems is a threat to ecological and human health. Adsorption by graphene-based adsorbent is a promising technique for OC removal and we previously fabricated crumpled graphene balls (CGBs), via a novel nano-spray drying technique, which show robust adsorptive performance. Yet, since CGBs contain non-accessible surface area due to 2D graphene stacking, the goal of this research was to investigate the efficacy of maximizing the accessible CGB surface by synthesizing a nanocomposite composed of metal oxide nanoparticles encapsulated by crumpled graphene oxide (MGC). The metal oxides reduce graphene oxide stacking, expand the internal adsorptive surface area, and boost the adsorptive capacity of the MGC. MGC (fumed SiO2 or SiO2) exhibit an enhanced Langmuir adsorption capacity (qm, normalized by the % carbon) for an OC model, methylene blue (MB), achieving improvements of 60-86% compared to CGB, 3-4 fold compared to powder activated carbon (PAC) and 6-7 fold compared to granular activated carbon (GAC). MGCs display rapid adsorption reaching equilibrium after 9-12 min of contact and remaining stable in wastewater effluent /surface water. A cost-efficiency comparison reveals MGCs achieve one ton of MB removal at similar or lower material costs than that of PAC/GAC.

Advances in the Physico-Chemical, Antimicrobial and Angiogenic Properties of Graphene-Oxide/Cellulose Nanocomposites for Wound Healing. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020338. [PMID: 36839660 PMCID: PMC9961167 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/21/2023] Open
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and its reduced form (rGO) have recently attracted a fascinating interest due to their physico-chemical properties, which have opened up new and interesting opportunities in a wide range of biomedical applications, such as wound healing. It is worth noting that GO and rGO may offer a convenient access to its ready dispersion within various polymeric matrices (such as cellulose and its derivative forms), owing to their large surface area, based on a carbon skeleton with many functional groups (i.e., hydroxyl, carboxyl, epoxy bridge, and carbonyl moieties). This results in new synergic properties due to the presence of both components (GO or rGO and polymers), acting at different length-scales. Furthermore, they have shown efficient antimicrobial and angiogenic properties, mostly related to the intracellular formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are advantageous in wound care management. For this reason, GO or rGO integration in cellulose-based matrixes have allowed for designing highly advanced multifunctional hybrid nanocomposites with tailored properties. The current review aims to discuss a potential relationship between structural and physico-chemical properties (i.e., size, edge density, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity) of the nanocomposites with antimicrobials and angiogenic mechanisms that synergically influence the wound healing phenomenon, by paying particular attention to recent findings of GO or rGO/cellulose nanocomposites. Accordingly, after providing a general overview of cellulose and its derivatives, the production methods used for GO and rGO synthesis, the mechanisms that guide antimicrobial and angiogenic processes of tissue repair, as well as the most recent and remarkable outcomes on GO/cellulose scaffolds in wound healing applications, will be presented.

Abstract
Nanofiltration processes for the removal of emerging contaminants such as nitrate are a focus of attention of research works as an efficient technique for providing drinking water for people. Polysulfone (PSF) nanofiltration membranes containing graphene oxide (GO)/Pt (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 wt%) nanoparticles were generated with the phase inversion pathway. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by FTIR, SEM, AFM, and contact angle tests to study the effect of GO/Pt on hydrophilicity and antibacterial characteristics. The results conveyed that insertion of GO/Pt dramatically improved the biofouling resistance of the membranes. Permeation experiments indicated that PSF membrane embracing 0.75 wt% GO/Pt nanoparticles had the highest nitrate flux and rejection ability. The membrane's configuration was simulated using OPEN-MX simulating software indicating membranes maintaining 0.75 wt% of GO/Pt nanoparticles revealed the highest stability, which is well in accordance with experimental outcomes.

Abstract
Green synthesis of high-quality reduced graphene oxide (rGO) from agro-industrial waste resources remains attractive owing to its outstanding environmental benefits. The remarkable properties of rGO include excellent morphology, uniform particle size, good optical properties, high conductivity, nontoxicity, and extraordinary chemical stability. Traditional methods for the synthesis of rGO nanomaterials involve several chemical reactions including oxidation, carbonization, toxic solvent, and pyrolysis which produce harmful byproducts. Green preparation of rGO is an emerging area of research in graphene technology which is cost-effective and sustainable in the procedure. Owing to the uniform particle rGO particle size, these smart nanomaterials have wide applicability, including in metal ions and pollutant sensing and adsorption, photocatalysis, optoelectrical devices, medical diagnosis, and drug delivery. Here we review the physicochemical properties of rGO, the biowaste sources and green methods of rGO synthesis, and the diverse applications of rGO, including in water purification and the biomedical fields. With this review, covering more than 200 research articles published on rGO in the last eight years ending in 2022, we aim to provide a quick guide for researchers seeking up-to-date information on the properties, production, and applicability of rGO, with special attention to rGO applications in water purification and the biomedical fields.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to describe the performance of the aluminum oxide nanoparticle and metal aluminate spinel nanoparticle as photo-anodes in quantum dot photovoltaic. By using a sol–gel auto combustion method, Al2O3 NPs, CoAl2O4, CuAl2O4, NiAl2O4, and ZnAl2O4 were successfully synthesized. The formation of Al2O3 NPs and MAl2O4 (M=Co, Cu, Ni, Zn) nanocomposite was confirmed by using several characteristics such as XRD, UV–Vis, FTIR, FE-SEM, and EDX spectra. The XRD shows that the CoAl2O4 has a smaller crystallite size (12.37 nm) than CuAl2O4, NiAl2O4, and ZnAl2O4. The formation of a single-phase spinel structure of the calcined samples at 1100 °C was confirmed by FTIR. Our studies showed that the pure Al2O3 NPs have a lower energy gap (1.37 eV) than synthesized MAl2O4 under UV–Vis irradiation. Due to the well separation between the light-generated electrons and the formed holes, the cell containing ZnAl2O4 nanocomposite with CdS QDs has the highest efficiency of 8.22% and the current density of 22.86 mA cm−2, while the cell based on NiAl2O4 as a photoelectrode, six cycles of CdS/ZnS QDs, and P-rGO as a counter electrode achieved the best (PCE) power conversion efficiency of 15.14% and the current density of 28.22 mA cm−2. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy shows that ZnAl2O4 and NiAl2O4 nanocomposites have the highest life times of the photogenerated electrons (τn) of 11*10−2 and 96*10−3 ms, respectively, and the lowest diffusion rates (Keff) of 9.09 and 10.42 ms−1, respectively.

Abstract
Energy storage and modern electronics industries are in essential need of high dielectric and highly flexible materials. In this study, polyacrylonitrile and reduced graphene oxide (PAN/GO) were prepared by electrospinning. The composite morphology produced a homogeneous, smooth, and flexible surface with high tensile strength and durability. The diameter of the fibers in the composite mats ranged from 232 to 592 nm. The X-ray diffraction pattern recording displayed a sharp peak characteristic centered between 20 and 30° angles with a maximum degree of crystallinity of 86.23%. The evaluation of the Fourier-transform infrared spectrum indicated the interaction between GO and PAN through hydrogen bonds. The differential scanning calorimetry measurements confirmed that GO acted as a nucleating agent that improves the thermal stability of the composite. The dielectric properties exhibited the relative permittivity of the composite of 86.4 with a dielectric loss (tan δ) of 4.97 at 102 Hz, and the maximum conductivity was achieved at 34.9 × 10-6 Sm-1 at high frequencies.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate a microwave-assisted chemical reduction technique to exfoliate a few layers of graphene from the natural waste material, 'coconut shell'. The microwave irradiation coconut shell is subjected to structural, morphological and functional groups characterization methods including SEM, Raman, FTIR and XPS spectroscopic analyses. The formation of biomass reduced graphene (BRG) has been confirmed through Raman and FTIR spectroscopic analyzes with the presence of D, G and 2D and other functional spectral bands, respectively. The surface topography of the BRG exhibits two-dimensional mat structures with wrinkle topography, imaged by electron microscopic techniques. The metallic behaviour of the BRG is evaluated by band structure calculation using density functional theory. The synthesized nanostructure has been evaluated for exhaled diabetic breath sensing application by fabricating sensor device on the paper-based substrate by roll-to-roll coating technique. The BRG sensor exhibited enhanced sensing response at a very lower concentration of diabetic biomarker with long term stability and rapid response/recovery time of 1.11 s/41.25 s, respectively. Based on our findings, the microwave-assisted BRG is a potential candidate for fabricating highly scalable, inherently safe, economically viable and excellent sensing performance to detect exhaled diabetic breath at room temperature.

Abstract
Carbon nanodots, a class of carbon nano-allotropes, have been synthesized through different routes and methods from a wide range of precursors. The selected precursor, synthetic method, and conditions can strongly alter the physicochemical properties of the resulting material and their intended applications. Herein, carbon nanodots (CNDs) have been synthesized from d-glucose by combining pyrolysis and chemical oxidation methods. The effect of the pyrolysis temperature, equivalents of oxidizing agent, and refluxing time were studied on the product and quantum yield. In the optimum conditions (pyrolysis temperature of 300 °C, 4.41 equiv of H2O2, 90 min of reflux) CNDs were obtained with 40% and 3.6% of product and quantum yields, respectively. The obtained CNDs are negatively charged (ζ-potential = -32 mV), excellently dispersed in water, with average diameter of 2.2 nm. Furthermore, ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) was introduced as dehydrating and/or passivation agent during CNDs synthesis resulting in significant improvement of both product and quantum yields of about 1.5 and 3.76-fold, respectively. The synthesized CNDs showed a broad spectrum of antibacterial activities toward different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria strains. Both synthesized CNDs caused highly colony forming unit reduction (CFU), ranging from 98% to 99.99% for most of the tested bacterial strains. However, CNDs synthesized in the absence of NH4OH, due to a negatively charged surface enriched in oxygenated groups, performed better in zone inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentration. The elevated antibacterial activity of high-oxygen-containing carbon nanodots is directly correlated to their ROS formation ability.

Abstract
Grown only in humid tropical conditions, the palm tree provides high-quality oil essential for cooking and personal care or biofuel in the energy sector. After the refining process, this demand could cause numerous oil palm biomass waste management problems. However, the emergence of carbon nanomaterials or CNMs could be a great way to put this waste to a good cause. The composition of the palm waste can be used as a green precursor or starting materials for synthesizing CNMs. Hence, this review paper summarizes the recent progress for the CNMs production for the past 10 years. This review paper extensively discusses the method for processing CNMs, chemical vapor deposition, pyrolysis, and microwave by the current synthesis method. The parameters and conditions of the synthesis are also analyzed. The application of the CNMs from palm oil and future recommendations are also highlighted. Generally, this paper could be a handy guide in assisting the researchers in exploring economic yet simple procedures in synthesizing carbon-based nanostructured materials derived from palm oil that can fulfill the required applications.
