Investigation of Oil-Water Separation on an F-SiO/TiO-Based Superhydrophobic/Superoleophilic Surface: Experiment Evaluation and MD Simulation.

Experiment evaluation and mechanism analysis of separation performance are crucial for oily wastewater treatment. In this work, a fluorinated superhydrophobic/superoleophilic (F-SHPB/SOPL) surface was fabricated on a steel mesh substrate by double depositions of SiO-TiO nanoparticles for high-roughness improvement and composite modification of fluorine-alkyl groups for low-energy achievement. Measurements of SEM, XPS, FTIR, laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM), and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) were carried out for surface property characterization.

Insight into Organic Pollutant Adsorption Characteristics on a g-CN Surface by Attenuated Total Reflection Spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics Simulation.

Herein the adsorption characteristics of zwitterionic dye pollutant Rhodamine B (RhB) on a g-CN surface were investigated by both an attenuated total reflection spectroscopy (ATRS) experiment and a molecular dynamics simulation (MDS). For experimental investigation, g-CN was coated on a silica optical fiber (SOF) surface to fabricate an adsorption film. According to the ATRS response, adsorption thermodynamics and thermodynamics results were in situ obtained and evaluated.

Preparation, self-assembly, and mechanistic study of highly monodispersed nanocubes.

In this paper, we describe the synthesis and growth mechanism of highly monodispersed platinum nanocubes. The platinum nanocubes are synthesized by the decomposition of a platinum precursor in a hydrogen atmosphere. The morphology and size distribution of the platinum particles formed has been studied with HRTEM.
