Komma R, Dillon GP. Development and Characterization of Polyethylenimine-Infiltrated Mesoporous Silica Foam Pellets for CO 2 Capture. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:32881-32892. [PMID: 39100325 PMCID: PMC11292850 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
Polyethylenimine (PEI) has been shown to be promising for direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide and has potential for commercial scale-up globally. Laboratory scale processes include multiple steps, such as mixing, solvent extraction, vacuum application, sonication, and various flushes and activation steps. It is critical to properly control these operating parameters to achieve higher capture capacity as a result of the optimized material configuration. This study adopts previously published pelletization processes for PEI-infiltrated mesoporous foam silica (mesoporous silica foam) to uncover the adsorption mechanisms and optimize the associated fabrication steps, such as sonication, to achieve higher sorbent productivity. A high capture capacity was achieved at 46 °C for 75 wt % PEI loading (2.27 mmol/g) followed by PEI_MSF 70 (1.81 mmol/g) and PEI_MSF 80 (1.44 mmol/g). As part of the optimization, sonication parameters of frequency, amplitude, and time were modified for PEI_MSF 75 sorbent, which resulted in the highest uptake capacity of 3.04 mmol/g (sonicated at 40 kHz and a wave amplitude of 50% for 30 s). These preliminary results would tend to prove that sonication energy affects carbon capture capacity, although there is still a lack of understanding regarding the exact underlying mechanism, suggesting the need for further investigation. It is important to note that the present work is focused on the adsorption mechanisms and not desorption or durability of the capture performance. Ongoing research addresses these factors. This paper is intended to establish baseline DAC behavior of a promising capture medium and begins probing the optimization spectrum by considering the effects of sonication energy on adsorption. Ongoing work intends to address potential abbreviations of the full range of process steps and furthers the understanding of kinetics by considering the desorption and resorption attributes.

Abstract
Functionalized silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) have attracted great attention due to their promising distinctive, versatile, and privileged physiochemical characteristics. These enhanced properties make this type of functionalized nanoparticles particularly appropriate for different applications. A lack of reviews that summarizes the fabrications of such nanomaterials and their different applications in the same work has been observed in the literature. Therefore, in this work, we will discuss the recent signs of progress in the fabrication of functionalized silica nanoparticles and their attractive applications that have been extensively highlighted (advanced catalysis, drug-delivery, biomedical applications, environmental remediation applications, and wastewater treatment). These applications have been selected for demonstrating the role of the surface modification step on the various properties of the silica surface. In addition, the current challenges in the applications of functionalized silica nanoparticles and corresponding strategies to discuss these issues and future perspectives for additional improvement have been addressed.

Abstract
Water pollution by organic dyes poses great challenge to the environment and living organism. Hence effective removal of organic dyes by cost effective methods have received significant attention in recent years. Herein, we report the complete removal of organic dyes (rhodamine B), methylene blue) and eosin yellow) from water via effective adsorption by MoO3 catalyst. Hydrothermally synthesised MoO2 (1) and amorphous MoSx (2) using ammonium molybdate without and with thiourea exhibited low dye adsorption. In contrast, crystalline micro/nanoplates of MoO3 (3 and 4) obtained from calcination of 1 and 2 showed highly enhanced dye adsorption. Particularly 4 showed higher dye adsorption compared to 3. UV-Visible absorption studies confirmed complete removal of organic dyes upon stirring with MoO3 catalyst. Dye removal studies further revealed that cationic dyes are adsorbed faster than anionic dye that could be attributed to the surface charge of MoO3. Interestingly, the adsorbed dyes were not released from MoO3 for more than 50 days. The exhausted MoO3 catalyst can be recovered by annealing at 400 °C. MoO3 catalyst has also been used as packing materials in dropper column and demonstrated effective removal of dyes by passing through dyes separately as well as mixture.

Abstract
The assembled state of nanoparticles (NPs) within porous matrices plays a governing role in directing their biological, electronic, and catalytic properties. However, the effects of the spatial confinement and environmental factors, such as salinity, on the NP assemblies within the pores are poorly understood. In this study, we use adsorption isotherms, spectrophotometry, and small-angle neutron scattering to develop a better understanding of the effect of spatial confinement on the assembled state and catalytic performance of gold (Au) NPs in propylamine-functionalized SBA-15 and MCM-41 mesoporous silica materials (mSiO2). We carry out a detailed investigation of the effect of pore diameter and ionic strength on the packing and spatial distribution of AuNPs within mSiO2 to get a comprehensive insight into the structure, functioning, and activity of these NPs. We demonstrate the ability of the adsorbed AuNPs to withstand aggregation under high salinity conditions. We attribute the observed preservation of the adsorbed state of AuNPs to the strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged pore walls and AuNPs. The preservation of the structure allows the AuNPs to retain their catalytic activity for a model reaction in high salinity aqueous solution, here, the reduction of p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol, which otherwise is significantly diminished due to bulk aggregation of the AuNPs. This fundamental study demonstrates the critical role of confinement and dispersion salinity on the adsorption and catalytic performance of NPs.

Abstract
Nanotechnology, as an emerging science, has taken over all fields of life including industries, health and medicine, environmental issues, agriculture, biotechnology etc. The use of nanostructure molecules has revolutionized all sectors. Environmental pollution is a great concern now a days, in all industrial and developing as well as some developed countries. A number of remedies are in practice to overcome this problem. The application of nanotechnology in the bioremediation of environmental pollutants is a step towards revolution. The use of various types of nanoparticles (TiO2 based NPs, dendrimers, Fe based NPs, Silica and carbon nanomaterials, Graphene based NPs, nanotubes, polymers, micelles, nanomembranes etc.) is in practice to diminish environmental hazards. For this many In-situ (bioventing, bioslurping, biosparging, phytoremediation, permeable reactive barrier etc.) and Ex-situ (biopile, windrows, bioreactors, land farming etc.) methodologies are employed. Improved properties like nanoscale size, less time utilization, high adaptability for In-situ and Ex-situ use, undeniable degree of surface-region to-volume proportion for possible reactivity, and protection from ecological elements make nanoparticles ideal for natural applications. There are distinctive nanomaterials and nanotools accessible to treat the pollutants. Each of these methods and nanotools depends on the properties of foreign substances and the pollution site. The current designed review highlights the techniques used for bioremediation of environmental pollutants as well as use of various nanoparticles along with proposed In-situ and Ex-situ bioremediation techniques.

Abstract
This work reports the incorporation of mixed-metal oxides (MMOs) such as Si/Ti and Si/Zr into latex paints in the form of thin coatings for permanent trapping of indoor formaldehyde. The formaldehyde removal performance of the surface coatings was evaluated in a lab-scale indoor air chamber, and the results were compared with those of powder analogues. Due to the pore blockage by the latex, the incorporation led to 6-30% reduction in adsorption capacity and 50-70% drop in the adsorption rate for MMO-latex paints relative to their powder MMO analogues. Under the operating conditions of concentration, temperature, and relative humidity, the Si/Zr-latex paints outperformed the Si/Ti counterparts. It was also observed that performance could decrease over excessive loading, for example, Si/Zr-latex paint with 15/1 Si/Zr weight ratio showed a 20% lower adsorption capacity than that of the Si/Zr-latex paint with 25/1 Si/Zr ratio at 5 ppmv, 25 °C, and 70% RH. While high temperature greatly reduced the adsorption rate of the MMO-latex paints, high humidity slightly promoted the rate of formaldehyde capture. In 10 L, flow-through chamber tests, 25Si/Zr-latex paint reduced 5 ppmv formaldehyde by up to 60% at 25 °C and 70% RH with an adsorption rate of 0.34 ppmv/h. Overall, this study highlights the potential of MMO-latex paints with optimized formation for the efficient abatement of indoor aldehydes.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from exhaled breath (EB) are considered to be promising biomarkers for lung diseases. A convenient and sensitive point-of-care (POC) testing method for EB VOCs is essential. Here, we developed a POC test paper for the analysis of EB aldehydes, which are potential biomarkers for lung cancer. A probe molecule, 4-aminothiophenol (4-ATP), was anchored on a paper substrate to specifically capture gas-phase aldehydes through the Schiff base reaction. Meanwhile, thin-film reaction acceleration was utilized to increase capture efficiency. By directly coupling the test paper to a mass spectrometer through paper spray, high sensitivity (0.1 ppt) and a wide quantification linear range (from 10 ppt to 1 ppm) were obtained. Analysis of EB from lung cancer patients with the test paper showed a significant increase in several reported aldehyde markers compared to EB from healthy volunteers, indicating the potential of this method for sensitive, low-cost, and convenient lung cancer screening and diagnosis.

Abstract
The study of the physicochemical process of volatile organic compound (VOC) adsorption on porous materials is significant for design and screening of adsorbent materials and treatment of VOCs. Traditional measurement methods for studying the adsorption process require lots of adsorbates and adsorbents and are time-consuming. We proposed a facile strategy to study the adsorption process of trace gaseous aldehydes on layered double hydroxide (LDH) using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). We prepared a composite of Ag nanocubes@hollow Co-Ni LDH (AgNCs@Co-Ni LDH) with a strong adsorption capability and high SERS sensitivity. The adsorption properties of LDH for benzaldehyde in terms of general kinetics and isotherms were investigated. The kinetic adsorption process could be fitted better by the pseudo-first-order kinetics with a higher correlation coefficient than by the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption rate of 0.0308 min-1 was obtained from the fitting curve. The isotherm adsorption fits the Langmuir isotherm model, and its adsorption constant is 6.25 × 106 L/mol. Taking advantage of the excellent adsorptive performance and SERS activity, the AgNCs@Co-Ni LDH composite can be used as an effective SERS probe to detect gaseous aldehydes, and it shows a linear dynamic range (5-100 ppb) with a limit of detection reaching 1.83 ppb for benzaldehyde, better than that achieved by previous studies. Therefore, this work has not only established a new measurement method for probing the adsorption process with extremely low consumption of both adsorbates and adsorbents, but also may lay the groundwork for the construction of rapid and ultra-sensitive SERS sensors for probing VOCs in the future.

Abstract
Unraveling the interaction mechanisms of type I collagen with various inorganic nanoparticles is of pivotal importance to construct collagen-based bionanocomposites with hierarchical structures for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and other industrial applications. In this study, synthetic two-dimensional Laponite nanoplatelets (LAP NPs) are surface-functionalized with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS) for reinforcing their incorporation with type I collagen matrix by focusing on the influences of the interactions on the hierarchical structures of the collagen. Our results indicate that the LAP NPs can be successfully surface-functionalized with THPS via covalent bonds between the amine-functionalized NPs and the hydroxymethyl groups of THPS. Moreover, the resulting NPs can be well dispersed into the collagen matrix and evenly bound onto the collagen fiber strands and between the collagen fibrils, preserving the native D-periodic banding patterns of the collagen fibrils. The formation of covalent and hydrogen bonds between the collagen and the functionalized NPs can stabilize the intrinsic triple-helical conformation of the collagen, conferring the resulting collagen-based nanocomposites with improved thermal stability and enhanced mechanical properties. We anticipate that a fundamental understanding of the interactions between the collagen and functionalized inorganic nanoparticles would contribute to the design, fabrication, and further application of hierarchical collagen-based bionanocomposites with multifunctions.

[PMID: 32659563 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.140761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2020] [Revised: 07/03/2020] [Accepted: 07/03/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
In an effort to develop a cost-effective mitigation tool for volatile organic compounds, particularly formaldehyde (FA), microporous activated carbon (AC) was modified into three different forms of AC-1, AC-2, and AC-3 using a raw commercial AC product (AC-0). First, AC-1 and AC-2 were produced by the modification of AC-0 with N/S heteroatoms using identical mixture of dicyandiamide and thiourea precursors through either solvothermal (AC-1) or microwave-assisted calcination (AC-2) synthesis. Second, aminosilane-functionalized AC (AC-3) was prepared solvothermally using N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]ethylenediamine reagent. The relative adsorption performances for gaseous FA (1 ppm) in terms of 10% breakthrough volume (BTV10: L atm g-1) at near-ambient conditions (25 °C and 1 atm) were AC-3 (132) > AC-2 (66.5) > AC-1 (14.2) > AC-0 (10.4). In a comparison based on partition coefficients (mole kg-1 Pa-1) at BTV10, AC-3 outperformed AC-0 by a factor of 214, while the adsorption performance of AC-2 was 36-times higher than AC-1. The enhanced performance of AC-2 over AC-1 reflected the effect of the microwave synthesis protocol on the improvement of surface chemistry (e.g., N/S doping) and texture (e.g., surface area and pore volume) of AC-based adsorbents as compared to conventional solvothermal method. Further, the prominent role of surface chemistry (e.g., relative to textural properties), as observed with the increases in the amount of doped functional elements (including N:C and silicon:C ratios), is supported by the apparent dependence of performance on the selected modification procedures. Based on kinetic and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses, the superiority of aminosilylated AC-3 can be attributed to a synergistic effect between physisorption (e.g., pore diffusion) and chemical interactions of the FA carbonyl (C=O) group with amine and silica functionalities (via Mannich coupling [Schiff base] and cycloaddition reaction mechanisms, respectively). This confirms the significance of surface chemistry, relative to pore diffusion, in achieving maximum adsorption of gaseous FA molecules.

Abstract
The formation, fate, and toxicology of oxy-, hydroxy-, and carboxy- substituted PAH (OPAH, OHPAH, COOHPAH, respectively) alongside PAH in contaminated soils have received increasing attention over the past two decades; however, there are still to date no standardized methods available for their identification and quantitation in soil. Here we investigated and developed the first method using aminopropylsilica solid phase extraction (SPE) for these compounds. We further investigated the efficacy of the developed method for three soils representing a range of contamination levels and soil textural characteristics and evaluated the impact of different sample preparation steps on the recovery of targeted compounds. Average recovery of PAH, OPAH, and OHPAH standards were 99%, 84%, and 86%, respectively for the SPE method. In contrast, COOHPAH exhibited the lowest recovery (0-82%) and poor inter-batch reproducibility. Soil texture and contamination levels influenced full method efficiency. Specifically, soils with higher proportion of clay contributed to the loss of the higher molecular weight OHPAH prior to SPE. Soil with the highest contamination showed enhanced recovery of some lower-concentration mid weight PAH and OPAH, while the least contaminated soil showed greater sensitivity to evaporative losses during sample preparation. Recommendations for reducing matrix effects as well as the practice of using deuterated PAH surrogate standards for OPAH analysis are further discussed. Quantitation of recovered PAH and oxygenated PAH across the three soils showed high reproducibility (<10% relative standard deviation for a majority of compounds), supporting the use of this method for PAH, OPAH, and OHPAH at contaminated sites.

Abstract
Indoor air cleaning systems that incorporate CO2 sorbent materials enable HVAC load shifting and efficiency improvements. This study developed a bench-scale experimental system to evaluate the performance of a sorbent under controlled operation conditions. A thermostatic holder containing 3.15 g sorbent was connected to a manifold that delivered CO2 -enriched air at a known temperature and relative humidity (RH). The air stream was also enriched with 0.8-2.1 ppm formaldehyde. The CO2 concentration was monitored in real-time upstream and downstream of the sorbent, and integrated formaldehyde samples were collected at different times using DNPH-coated silica cartridges. Sorbent regeneration was carried out by circulating clean air in countercurrent. Almost 200 loading/regeneration cycles were performed in the span of 17 months, from which 104 were carried out at reference test conditions defined by loading with air at 25°C, 38% RH, and 1000 ppm CO2 , and regenerating with air at 80°C, 3% RH and 400 ppm CO2 . The working capacity decreased slightly from 43-44 mg CO2 per g sorbent to 39-40 mg per g over the 17 months. The capacity increased with lower loading temperature (in the range 15-35°C) and higher regeneration temperature, between 40 and 80°C. The CO2 capacity was not sensitive to the moisture content in the range 6-9 g/m3 , and decreased slightly when dry air was used. Loading isothermal breakthrough curves were fitted to three simple adsorption models, verifying that pseudo-first-order kinetics appropriately describes the adsorption process. The model predicted that equilibrium capacities decreased with increasing temperature from 15 to 35°C, while adsorption rate constants slightly increased. The formaldehyde adsorption efficiency was 80%-99% in different cycles, corresponding to an average capacity of 86 ± 36 µg/g. Formaldehyde was not quantitatively released during regeneration, but its accumulation on the sorbent did not affect CO2 adsorption.

Abstract
Considerable efforts have been undertaken in the domain of air quality management for the removal of hazardous volatile organic compounds, particularly carbonyl compounds (CCs). In this study, the competitive sorptive removal of six CCs (namely, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, and valeraldehyde) was assessed using selected metal-organic frameworks (MOFs: MOF-5, MOF-199, UiO-66, and UiO-66-NH2) and inexpensive commercial activated carbon as a reference sorbent. The sorption experiments were conducted using a mixture of the six CCs (formaldehyde and acetaldehyde at ∼1 Pa and propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, and valeraldehyde at ∼0.2 Pa) together with 15 Pa water and 2.6 Pa methanol in 1 bar nitrogen. For all of the carbonyl compounds other than formaldehyde, MOF-199 showed the best 10% breakthrough performance ranging from 34 L g-1 and 0.14 mol kg-1 Pa-1 for acetaldehyde to 1870 L g-1 and 7.6 mol kg-1 Pa-1 for isovaleraldehyde. Among all the sorbents tested, UiO-66-NH2 exhibited the best 10% breakthrough performance metrics towards the lightest formaldehyde which remains to be one of the most difficult targets for sorptive removal (breakthrough volume: 285 L g-1 and partition coefficient: 1.1 mol kg-1 Pa-1). Theoretical density functional theory (DFT)-based computations were also conducted to provide better insights into the adsorbate-adsorbent interactions. Accordingly, the magnitude of adsorption energy increased with an increase in the CC molar mass due to an enhancement in the synergetic interaction between C[double bond, length as m-dash]O groups (in adsorbate molecules) and the MOF active centers (open metallic centers and/or NH2 functionality) as the adsorbent. Such interactions were observed to result in strong distortion of MOF structures. In contrast, weak van der Waals attraction between the hydrocarbon "tail" of CC molecules and MOF linkers were seen to play a stabilizing role for the sorbent structure. The presence of the NH2 group in the MOF structure was suspected to play a key role in capturing lighter CCs, while such an effect was less prominent for heavier CCs. Overall, the results of this study provided a basis for the establishment of an effective strategy to enhance the sorption capacity of MOFs against diverse carbonyl species.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is a ubiquitous carcinogenic indoor pollutant. The treatment of formaldehyde has attracted increasing social attention. Over the past few decades, an increasing number of publications have reported approaches for removing indoor formaldehyde. These potential strategies include physical adsorption, chemical catalysis, and biodegradation. Although physical adsorption is widely used, it does not really remove pollution. Chemical catalysis is very efficient but adds the risk of introducing secondary pollutants. Biological removal strategies have attracted more research attention than the first two methods, because it is more efficient, clean, and economical. Plants and bacteria are the common organisms used in formaldehyde removal. However, both have limitations and shortcomings when used alone. This review discusses the mechanisms, applications, and improvements of existing biological methods for the removal of indoor gaseous formaldehyde. A combination strategy relying on plants, bacteria, and physical adsorbents exhibits best ability to remove formaldehyde efficiently, economically, and safely. When this combination system is integrated with a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and cooling (HVAC) system, a practical combined system can be established in formaldehyde removal. Multivariate interactions of biological and non-biological factors are needed for the future development of indoor formaldehyde removal. KEY POINTS: • Indoor gaseous formaldehyde removal is necessary especially for new residence. • Biological removal strategies have attracted increasing research attentions. • Combined system of plants, bacteria, and physical adsorbents exhibits best efficiency. • Integrated device of biological and non-biological factors will be potential practical.

Abstract
AbstractAlthough present in concentrations in microgrammes per litre level, aldehydes, in particular those derived from Strecker degradation, are known to majorly contribute to the undesired wort flavour of alcohol-free beers. In order to improve currently available products, one needs to understand the underlying cause for the over-prevalence and identify leverage points and methods to selectively reduce the aldehydes in alcohol-free beers. This work gives a short overview on relevant flavour-active wort flavours identified in alcohol-free beer and on their involved chemical formation pathways. Consequently, aldehyde removal technologies in general and in brewing industry are presented. Adsorptive removal of off-flavours by aldehyde-scavenging groups is already widely exploited in the packaging industry and may achieve reduction of these components to near depletion, depending on the process conditions. Its principles are adaptable to recovering off-flavours before filling. Also, supercritical CO2 extraction has been successfully applied to separate flavours from food matrices. In brewing, the focus has been set to biologic conversion by restricted fermentation steps, but the reduction of key components of more than 70% is not achieved. Newer developments focus on thermal separation techniques that not only include non-specific physical dealcoholisation but also more selective technologies such as pervaporation, where aldehydes are reduced to near depletion. However, for most unit operations, selectivity and capacity are not yet investigated. Future research should explore the shortcomings of current techniques and overcome bottlenecks either by developing more specific methods for aldehyde removal and/or a clever combination of unit operations to optimise the separation and process integration.

Abstract
Interfacial chemistry provides an opportunity to control dynamic materials. By harnessing the dynamic covalent nature of imine bonds, emulsions are generated in situ, predictably manipulated, and ultimately destroyed along liquid-liquid and emulsion-solid interfaces through simple perturbation of the imine equilibria. We report the rapid production of surfactants and double emulsions through spontaneous in situ imine formation at the liquid-liquid interface of oil/water. Complex double emulsions with imine surfactants are stable to neutral and basic conditions and display dynamic behavior with acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and imine exchange. We demonstrate the potential of in situ imine surfactant formation to generate complex surfactants with biomolecules (i.e., antibodies) for biosensing applications. Furthermore, imine formation at the emulsion-solid interface offers a triggered payload release mechanism. Our results illustrate how simple, dynamic interfacial imine formation can translate changes in bonding to macroscopic outputs.

Abstract
Intense efforts have been made to eliminate toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in indoor environments, especially formaldehyde (FA). In this study, the removal performances of gaseous FA using two metal-organic frameworks, MOF-5 and UiO-66-NH2, and two covalent-organic polymers, CBAP-1 (EDA) and CBAP-1 (DETA), along with activated carbon as a conventional reference material, were evaluated. To assess the removal capacity of FA under near-ambient conditions, a series of adsorption experiments were conducted at its concentrations/partial pressures of both low (0.1-0.5 ppm/0.01-0.05 Pa) and high ranges (5-25 ppm/0.5-2.5 Pa). Among all tested materials at the high-pressure region ㅐ (e.g., at 2.5 ppm FA), a maximum adsorption capacity of 69.7 mg g-1 was recorded by UiO-66-NH2. Moreover, UiO-66-NH2 also displayed the best 10% breakthrough volume (BTV10) of 534 L g-1 (0.5 ppm FA) to 2963 L g-1 (0.1 ppm FA). In contrast, at the high concentration test (at 5, 10, and 25 ppm FA), the maximum BTV10 values were observed as: 137 (UiO-66-NH2), 144 (CBAP-1 (DETA)), and 36.8 L g-1 (CBAP-1 (EDA)), respectively. The Langmuir isotherm model was observed to be a better fit of the adsorption data than the Freundlich model under most of the tested conditions. The superiority of UiO-66-NH2 was attributed to the van der Waals interactions between the linkers (framework) and the hydrocarbon "tail" (FA) coupled with interactions between its open metal sites and the FA carbonyl groups. This study demonstrated the good potential of these advanced functional materials toward the practical removal of gaseous FA in indoor environments.

Abstract
High levels of indoor air CO2 in commercial buildings can lead to various health effects, commonly known as sick building syndrome. Passive control of indoor air CO2 through solid adsorbents incorporated into the paint offers a high potential to handle CO2 without utilizing much energy. This study focuses on incorporating silica-supported aminopolymers into a polyacrylic-based latex that could be used as a buffer material for the passive control of CO2 in enclosed environments. To maximize the effect of the pigment (adsorbent), paints were all prepared at critical pigment volume concentration (CPVC) levels. CO2 at 800 and 3000 ppm were used to asses both low and high level contaminations. The removal efficiency of the surface coatings was evaluated within typical time frames (10 h for adsorption and desorption). Our laboratory-scale chamber results indicated that the silica-tetraethylenepentamine-based paint with 70 wt % loading exhibits the best adsorption performance, comparable to that of the powder-based sorbent, with only a ∼20% decrease in the adsorption efficiency. Our results also revealed that the optimization of paint formulation is critical in passively controlling indoor air CO2. The findings of this study highlight the potential of amine-based adsorbents as pigments in high PVC paints for indoor CO2 control in commercial buildings.

Abstract
Porous materials have been identified as efficient sorbent media to remove volatile organic compounds. To evaluate their potential as adsorbents, the adsorptive removal of formaldehyde (FA) in aqueous environments was investigated using four materials, two water-stable metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) of UiO-66 (U6) and U6-NH2 (U6N) and two covalent organic polymers (COPs) with amine-functionality, CBAP-1-EDA (CE) and CBAP-1-DETA (CD). U6N exhibited the highest removal capacity of 93% (0.56 mg g-1) of the tested materials [e.g., CE (81.1%, 0.53 mg g-1) > CD (67.2%, 0.43 mg g-1) > U6 (66.9%, 0.42 mg g-1)], which was 2 times higher than that of the reference sorbent, activated carbon (AC: 50%, 0.30 mg g-1). The results of Fourier transform infrared and powder X-ray diffraction analyses confirmed the interactions between FA molecules and the amine components of the materials (U6N, CD, and CE). According to density functional theory calculations, the formation of hydrogen bonds between FA molecules and amine components was apparent and was further verified by FA/amine distance (CD: 2.83, CE: 2.88, and U6N: 2.66 Å) along with enthalpy values (CD: -32.4, CE: -45.5, and U6N: -272 kJ mol-1). In case of U6, the major interactions occurred in the metal-clusters (-19.3 kJ mol-1) via electrostatic interactions (distance: 5.49 Å). Furthermore, the sorption by amine-functionalized materials such as U6N is suggested to be dominated by hydrogen bonding which ultimately led to the formation of imine. If the performance of the tested materials is evaluated in terms of partition coefficient, U6N (1153 mg g-1 mM-1) is found as the outperformer in all tested subjects. Regeneration of spent MOFs/COPs was also plausible in the presence of ethanol to maintain their structural integrity even after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles. Overall, the selected MOFs/COPs were seen to have very high removal capacity for hazardous FA molecules in aqueous phase.

Abstract
Environmental remediation relies mainly on using various technologies (e.g., adsorption, absorption, chemical reactions, photocatalysis, and filtration) for the removal of contaminants from different environmental media (e.g., soil, water, and air). The enhanced properties and effectiveness of nanotechnology-based materials makes them particularly suitable for such processes given that they have a high surface area-to-volume ratio, which often results in higher reactivity. This review provides an overview of three main categories of nanomaterials (inorganic, carbon-based, and polymeric-based materials) used for environmental remediation. The use of these nanomaterials for the remediation of different environmental contaminants-such as heavy metals, dyes, chlorinated organic compounds, organophosphorus compounds, volatile organic compounds, and halogenated herbicides-is reviewed. Various recent examples are extensively highlighted focusing on the materials and their applications.

Abstract
Herein we report superior dye-adsorption performance for flower-like nanostructure composed of two dimensional (2D) MoS2 nanosheets by a facile hydrothermal method, more prominent adsorption of cationic dye compared with anodic dye indicates the dye adsorption performance strongly depends on surface charge of MoS2 nanosheets. The adsorption mechanism of dye is analyzed, the kinetic data of dye adsorption fit well with the pseudo-second-order model, meanwhile adsorption capability at different equilibrium concentrations follows Langmuir model, indicating the favorability and feasibility of dye adsorption. The regenerable property for MoS2 with full adsorption of dye molecules by using alkaline solution were demonstrated, showing the feasibility of reuse for the MoS2, which is promising in its practical water treatment application.

Abstract
Graphene has attracted much attention for sensing applications in recent years. Its largest surface-to-volume ratio makes graphene sensors able to potentially detect a single molecule and its extremely high carrier mobility ensures low electrical noise and energy consumption. However, pristine graphene is chemically inert and weakly adsorbs gas molecules, while defective and/or doped graphene has stronger adsorption ability (high sensitivity). The high sensitivity is related to the increased number of defects or traps in graphene where the gas molecules can be readily grafted, changing the sensor resistance. Nonetheless, similar resistance changes could be induced under exposure to different gases, resulting in a lack of selectivity. Functional groups differ drastically from defects or traps since the former selectively anchor specific molecules. Here, we comparatively investigate three functionalization routes and optimize a defect-free one (2,3,5,6,-Tetrafluorohydroquinone, TFQ molecules) for the fabrication of graphene gas sensors. We use TFQ organic molecules as chemical recognition links between graphene and formaldehyde, the most common indoor pollutant gas. The sensor demonstrates a high response and a good selectivity for formaldehyde compared with interfering organic vapours. Particularly, the sensor has a strong immunity to humidity. Our results highlight that defect-free functionalization based on organic molecules not only increases the sensor's response but also its selectivity, paving the way to the design of efficient graphene-based sensors.

Abstract
Oxide supports functionalized with amine moieties have been used for decades as catalysts and chromatographic media. Owing to the recognized impact of atmospheric CO2 on global climate change, the study of the use of amine-oxide hybrid materials as CO2 sorbents has exploded in the past decade. While the majority of the work has concerned separation of CO2 from dilute mixtures such as flue gas from coal-fired power plants, it has been recognized by us and others that such supported amine materials are also perhaps uniquely suited to extract CO2 from ultradilute gas mixtures, such as ambient air. As unique, low temperature chemisorbents, they can operate under ambient conditions, spontaneously extracting CO2 from ambient air, while being regenerated under mild conditions using heat or the combination of heat and vacuum. This Account describes the evolution of our activities on the design of amine-functionalized silica materials for catalysis to the design, characterization, and utilization of these materials in CO2 separations. New materials developed in our laboratory, such as hyperbranched aminosilica materials, and previously known amine-oxide hybrid compositions, have been extensively studied for CO2 extraction from simulated ambient air (400 ppm of CO2). The role of amine type and structure (molecular, polymeric), support type and structure, the stability of the various compositions under simulated operating conditions, and the nature of the adsorbed CO2 have been investigated in detail. The requirements for an effective, practical air capture process have been outlined and the ability of amine-oxide hybrid materials to meet these needs has been discussed. Ultimately, the practicality of such a "direct air capture" process is predicated not only on the physicochemical properties of the sorbent, but also how the sorbent operates in a practical process that offers a scalable gas-solid contacting strategy. In this regard, the utility of low pressure drop monolith contactors is suggested to offer a practical mode of amine sorbent/air contacting for direct air capture.

Abstract
In the current work, graphene oxides (GO) and Amine-Functionalized Silica Nanoparticles ( NH 2-SNs) were used as sensing layer on quart crystal microbalance (QCM) for detection of HCHO gas. The GO and NH 2-SNs functionalized QCM resonators all had a significant response to HCHO gas. The sensitivity of GO functionalized QCM resonator is 0.04 Hz/(μg⋅ppm), which is four times as high as that of NH 2-SNs functionalized QCM resonator (0.01 Hz/(μg⋅ppm)). The GO functionalized QCM resonators would be of benefit in area of environmental applications.
