A new high-capacity reversible hydrogen-storage material synthesized by the encapsulation of NaBH4 nanoparticles in graphene is reported. This approach effectively prevents phase agglomeration or separation during successive H2 discharge/recharge processes and enables rapid H2 uptake and release in NaBH4 under mild conditions. The strategy advanced here paves a new way for application in energy generation and storage.

The present work is first aimed at recovering graphite from carbon rods of waste zinc-carbon (Zn-C) batteries for applications such as wastewater treatment, in order to contribute to the development of a sustainable environment. Then, a composite material, cobalt-iron layered double hydroxide combination with reduced graphene oxide, and with subsequent Ag nanoparticles deposition via NaBH reduction method (Ag/CoFe-LDH/rGO) was prepared for the catalytic activity of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Safranine-O (SO) as model contaminants from aquatic media. The catalytic activity of RhB and SO by Ag/CoFe-LDH/rGO in the presence of NaBH was studied to model and optimize the process parameters (NaBH amount, reaction time, initial dye concentration (), and catalyst dosage) via central composite design (CCD)-response surface methodology (RSM).

Due to the rising human population and industrialization, harmful chemical compounds such as 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and various dyes are increasingly released into the environment, resulting in water pollution. It is essential to convert these harmful chemicals into harmless compounds to mitigate this pollution. This research focuses on synthesizing a novel heterogeneous catalyst using modified canvas fabric (CF) decorated with silver metal nanoparticles on graphene oxide nanosheets (Ag-GO/CF).

Nitrogen-doped carbon materials, characterized by abundant microporous and nitrogen functionalities, exhibit significant potential for carbon dioxide capture and supercapacitors. In this study, a class of porous organic polymer (POP) were successfully synthesized by linking Cr-TPA-4BZ-Br and tetraethynylpyrene (Py-T). The model benzoxazine monomers of Cr-TPA-4BZ and Cr-TPA-4BZ-Br were synthesized using the traditional three-step method [involving CH═N formation, reduction by NaBH, and Mannich condensation].

In this study, ethylene diamine-coated reduced graphene oxide-supported silver composite (Ag/rGO-ED) was synthesized and used as an efficient catalyst for the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) in the presence of NaBH. The morphology of the obtained material was elucidated using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The influences of four parameters (MB concentration (mg/L), NaBH amount (mM), catalyst amount (g/L), and contact time (s)) on the decolorization process were appraised and optimized via response surface methodology (RSM).

A combination of multiple materials effectively improves and enhances the performance of the materials. Thus, a gold-silver@cuprous oxide (Au-Ag@CuO)-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) structure was designed and fabricated. We decorated the Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the Ag@CuO-rGO composite surface by a redox reaction to form a Au-Ag@CuO-rGO structure with two noble metals attached to a CuO semiconductor.
