Degradation of carbamazepine by MWCNTs-promoted generation of high-valent iron-oxo species in a mild system with O-bridged iron perfluorophthalocyanine dimers.

Metal phthalocyanine has been extensively studied as a catalyst for degradation of carbamazepine (CBZ). However, metal phthalocyanine tends to undergo their own dimerization or polymerization, thereby reducing their activity points and affecting their catalytic properties. In this study, a catalytic system consisting of O-bridged iron perfluorophthalocyanine dimers (FePcF-O-FePcF), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and HO was proposed.

Graphene-Modified ZnO Nanostructures for Low-Temperature NO Sensing.

This paper develops a novel ultrasonic spray-assisted solvothermal (USS) method to synthesize wrapped ZnO/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposites with a Schottky junction for gas-sensing applications. The as-obtained ZnO/rGO- samples with different graphene oxide (GO) contents ( = 0-1.5 wt %) are characterized by various techniques, and their gas-sensing properties for NO and other VOC gases are also evaluated.
