On account of its Young's Modulus of 1 TPa and ultimate strength of 130 GPa, isolated graphene sheet is considered to be among the strongest materials ever measured. Comparable with the single-walled carbon nanotube bundle,graphene has a thermal conductivity of 5000 W/(m·K), which suggests a potential application of graphene in polymer matrix for improving thermal properties of the graphene/polymer composite. Furthermore, graphene exhibits a very high surface area, up to a value of 2630 m^2/g. All of these outstanding properties suggest a wide application for this nanometer-thick, two-dimensional carbon material. This review article presents an overview of the significant advancement in graphene research: preparation, functionalization as well as the properties of graphene will be discussed. In addition, the feasibility and potential applications of graphene in areas, such as sensors, nanoelectronics and nanocomposites materials, will also be reviewed.展开更多

In this paper, we study the thermal stability of nanocomposites consisting of nanoparticles metal incorporated into the pores of a porous silicon by a very simple method. The nickel element is chemically deposited whereas the nanoparticles are precipitated on the pore surfaces. The (nPS) and (nPS/Ni) nano-materials are thermally measured under nitrogen at temperatures of 40℃ - 1000℃, noticeable, demonstrating better thermal stability of (nPS/Ni) until 900℃ than in the case of (nPS) at 600℃. Then, the improving of the thermal stability of the nPS powder is facilitated using it in many applications of the thermal insulation process.展开更多

In this study, we validated the applicability of a new commercially available nanocomposite adsorbent, i.e., a polymer-based hydrated ferric oxide nanocomposite （HFO-201）, for the further removal of phosphorous from the bioefftuent discharged from a municipal wastewater treatment plant, and the operating parameters such as the flow rate, temperature and composition of the regenerants were optimized. Labora- tory-scale results indicate that phosphorous in real bioeffluent can be effectively removed from 0.92 mg· L^-1 to 〈 0.5 mg· L^-1 （or even 〈 0.1 mg·L^-1 as desired） by the new adsorbent at a flow rate of 50 bed volume （BV） per hour and treatable volume of 3500-4000BV per run. Phosphorous removal is independent of the ambient temperature in the range of 15℃-40℃. Moreover, the exhausted HFO-201 can be regenerated by a 2% NaOH ＋ 5% NaC1 binary solution for repeated use without significant capacity loss. A scaled-up study further indicated that even though the initial total phosphorus （TP） was as high as 2 mg·L^-1, it could be reduced to 〈 0.5 mg·L^-1, with a working capacity of 4.4-4.8 g·L^-1 HFO- 201. In general, HFO-201 adsorption is a choice method for the efficient removal of phosphate from biotreated waste effluent.展开更多

The RGO-Au composite membrane was obtained via direct one-step electrodeposition technique of graphene oxide （GO） and chloroauric acid （HAuCl4） on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode （GCE） by means of cyclic voltammetry （CV） in the potential range be- tween -1.5 and 0.6 V in phosphate buffer solution （PBS） of pH 9.18, which is capable of effectively utilizing its superior electrical conductivity, larger specific surface area due to its synergistic effect between RGO and Au. The molecularly imprinted polymers （MIPs） were synthesized on the RGO-Au modified glassy carbon electrode surface with VCR as the template molecular, methyl acrylic acid （MAA） as the functional monomer, and ethylene glycol maleic rosinate acrylate （EGMRA） as a cross-linker. The performance of the sensor was investigated by cyclic voltammetry （CV）, differential pulse voltammetry （DPV） and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy （EIS） in de- tail. Under the optimum conditions, the fabricated sensor exhibited a linear relationship between oxidation peak current and VCR concentration over the range of 5.0×10 8 5.0×10^-6 mol.L l with a correlation coefficient of 0.9952 and a detection limit （S/N=3） of 2.6×10 8 mol.L^-1. The results indicated that the imprinted polymer films exhibited an excellent selectivity for VCR. The imprinted sensor was successfully used to determine VCR in real samples with recoveries of 90%-- 120% by using the standard addition method.展开更多
