Discriminating sensing of explosive molecules using graphene-boron nitride-graphene heteronanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Since the synthesis of graphene-boron nitride heterostructures, their interesting electronic properties have attracted huge attention for real-world nanodevice applications. In this work, we combined density functional theory (DFT) with a Green's function approach to examine the potential of graphene-boron nitride-graphene heteronanosheets (h-NSHs) for discriminating single molecule sensing. Our result demonstrates that the graphene-boron nitride-graphene (h-NSHs) can be used for discriminate sensing of the 2,4-dinitrotoluene (DNT), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PENT), and 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) molecules. We demonstrate that as the length of the BN region increases, the sensitivity of the heteronanosheets to the presence of these explosive substances increases.

Efficient photo-Fenton catalysis using magnetic iron nanoparticles decorated boron nitride quantum dots: theoretical and experimental investigations† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ra00234a

Project description:To achieve the efficient removal of pharmaceutical wastes, novel photo-Fenton catalysts, iron-decorated boron nitride quantum dots (Fe@BNQDs) were prepared. Fe@BNQDs were characterized using XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The decoration of Fe on the surface of BNQDs enhanced the catalytic efficiency due to the photo-Fenton process. Photo-Fenton catalytic degradation of folic acid was investigated under UV and visible light. The influence of H2O2, catalyst dose, and temperature on the degradation yield of folic acid was investigated using Response Surface Methodology. Moreover, the efficiency of the photocatalysts and kinetics was investigated. Radical trapping experiments revealed that holes were the main dominant species in the photo-Fenton degradation mechanism and BNQDs played active roles because of their hole extraction ability. Additionally, active species such as e− and O2−˙ have a medium effect. The computational simulation was utilized to provide insights into this fundamental process, and for this purpose, electronic and optical properties were calculated. Highly effecient photo-Fenton catalysts of iron decorated boron nitride quantum dots were prepared.

Durability studies of underwater superoleophobic graphene oxide coated wire mesh† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d2na00667g

Project description:Due to the increased industrial oily wastewater, developing a successful oil/water separation mechanism is a ubiquitous challenge. As oil/water separation is an interfacial phenomenon, a straightforward way is to utilize the special wettability of novel materials towards oil and water. In this work, we intend to construct a durable membrane/mesh that can have a selective response towards oil and water based on the difference in surface tension. Graphene oxide (GO) is one such material that exhibits in-air hydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity. GO-coated wire meshes can act as membranes with excellent efficiency for oil/water separation, but they lack long-term durability for repeated use under different environments. We created GO*-coated wire meshes by dip coating multiple layers of GO with intermediate air plasma treatment. While the multiple steps of coating ensured complete coverage of the mesh with GO, plasma treatment improved the binding of the GO coating to the wire mesh. After coating five GO layers, the mesh is subjected to mild plasma treatment to improve the porosity. The GO*-coated mesh is extremely hydrophilic in air, and the underwater oil contact angles (CA) are ≥125° for different oils. To test the long-term durability, the GO*-coated mesh is continuously immersed underwater in acidic and basic media, and the underwater oil CA is measured at different immersion times. The initial durability results are very promising and show that the GO*-coated mesh retains a significant level of underwater oleophobicity even after 60 days of continuous immersion in water. GO-coated brass mesh with good underwater superoleophobicity was fabricated with multiple dip coating and plasma treatment steps. A long-term immersion study in acidic, basic, and neutral media reveals the superior durability of the treated meshes.

Total synthesis of bi-magnolignan† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ra01121f

Project description:Bi-magnolignan, isolated from the leaves of Magnolia officinalis, has shown excellent physiological activity against tumor cells. An efficient strategy for the first total synthesis of bi-magnolignan is reported. The bi-dibenzofuran skeleton was constructed via functional group interconversions of commercially available materials 1,2,4-trimethoxybenzene and 4-allylanisole. Then, the dibenzofuran skeleton was afforded by subsequent Suzuki coupling and intramolecular dehydration. The total synthesis of natural product was accomplished through FeCl3 catalyzed oxidative coupling. The first total synthesis of bi-magnolignan in eight steps from commercially available starting materials has been developed.

Porous graphitic carbon nitride with high concentration of oxygen promotes photocatalytic H2 evolution† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d2ra05662c

Project description:Porous structure design and the content regulation of heteroelements have been proved to be effective strategies to boost photocatalytic H2 generation activity of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) based photocatalyst. Herein, a series of porous graphitic carbon nitride with high concentration of oxygen (g-C3N4–O) photocatalysts were synthesized via in situ polymerization process using colloidal SiO2 as oxygen source. The content of oxygen within the g-C3N4–O photocatalysts could be tuned by adjusting the amount of added colloidal SiO2 during the preparation procedure. The introduced oxygen replaced two-coordinated nitrogen atom, influencing band edge position and localized electron distribution, thereby enhancing visible light harvesting and photoelectric conversion. As a result, the g-C3N4–O photocatalyst with an optimal oxygen content (8.39 wt%) showed 10.5 fold enhancement in H2 evolution rate compared to that of bulk g-C3N4, attributed to the porous structure and high concentration of incorporated oxygen. Porous structure design and the content regulation of heteroelements have been proved to be effective strategies to boost photocatalytic H2 generation activity of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) based photocatalyst.

Boric acid catalysed hydrolysis of peroxyacids† † Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/d3ra01046e

Project description:This study shows for the first time that boric acid catalyses the hydrolysis of peroxyacids, resulting in an approximately 12-fold increase in hydrolysis rate for both peracetic acid (PAA) and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) when 0.1 M boric acid is present. The maximum rate of hydrolysis occurs at pH 9 and pH 8.4 for PAA and MCPBA respectively. In contrast, carbonate buffer does not enhance the rate of PAA hydrolysis. The reaction was followed by measuring the initial rate of hydrogen peroxide formation using a specific Ti(iv) complexation method. The study of the hydrolysis reaction requires the presence of 2 × 10−5 M each of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and ethylenediamine tetramethylene phosphonic acid (EDTMP) in all solutions in order to chelate metal ions across the full pH range (3 to 13) that would otherwise contribute to peroxyacid decomposition. Catalysis of peroxyacid hydrolysis is most likely effected by the triganol boric acid acting as a Lewis acid catalyst, associating with the peroxide leaving group in the transition state to reduce the leaving group basicity. The products of the reaction are the well characterised monoperoxoborate species and the parent carboxylic acid. Analysis of the pH and borate dependence data reveals that in addition to a catalytic pathway involving a single boric acid molecule, there is a significant pathway involving either (a) two boric acid molecules or (b) the polyborate species, B3O3(OH)4−. Knowledge about catalytic mechanisms for the loss of peroxyacids through hydrolysis is important because they are widely used in reagents in a range of oxidation, bleaching and disinfection applications. Boric acid catalyses the hydrolysis of peroxyacids, with possible pathways involving one and two molecules of boric acid as well as polyborate species.
