The maghemite particulate nanosheets (MPNs) are prepared in solvothermal system by connecting the nanoparticles in two-dimension. The interconnected MPNs sustain a mesopores structure with a high accessible surface area of 164 m2/g, and have a high performance for Cr6+ adsorption. The Cr6+ removal process fit with Langmuir adsorption model with an adsorption capacity of 20.41 mg/g. The purified solution could reach a residual concentration of 0.002 mg/L for MPNs, which is much less than the concentration in the solution of 0.249 mg/L when the nanoparticles are used. The synthesized MPNs with a saturation magnetization of 70.51 emu/g at room temperature can be easily collected and separated by an external magnet in liquid. Exchange coupling and shape anisotropy are the main reason for the higher Ms of MPNs. The unique structure with large surface area and high saturation magnetization make the MPNs favourable for the application of magnetic separation.

Kaolinite was subjected to advanced exfoliation processes to form separated nano-silicate sheets (EXK) with enhanced physicochemical properties as adsorbents. This involved the incorporation of different exfoliating agents, urea (U/EXK), KNO (N/EXK), and CTAB (C/EXK), highlighting their impacts on their textural and surficial properties as adsorbents for safranin dye. The applied characterization techniques confirmed the higher exfoliating degree of C/EXK, followed by N/EXK and U/EXK.

Mixed matrix membranes represent an important technology for gas separations. Nanosheets of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials of high aspect ratio and size-selective gas transport properties have the potential to promote the efficient mixing of components to form membranes for gas separation. Herein, we report a bottom-up synthesis of extended sheets of kagomé (kgm) topology, , via the linkage of [Cu(OCR)] paddlewheels with 5--butylisophthalic acid.

The conventional fabrication of bulk van der Waals (vdW) materials requires a temperature above 1,000 °C to sinter from the corresponding particulates. Here we report the near-room-temperature densification (for example, ∼45 °C for 10 min) of two-dimensional nanosheets to form strong bulk materials with a porosity of <0.1%, which are mechanically stronger than the conventionally made ones.

Particulate matters (PMs) pose significant risks to human health and the environment, necessitating research to enhance air purification filters and reduce harmful emissions. This study focuses on the preparation of carbon nanomaterials, including graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs), reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNT), for modifying filters in air particle monitoring devices. The objective is to investigate the impact of these nanomaterials on enhancing PM adsorption efficiency.

Low-pressure catalytic membranes allow efficient rejection of particulates and simultaneously removing organics pollutant in water, but the accumulation of dissolved organic matters (DOM) on membrane surface, which cover the catalytic sites and cause membrane fouling, challenges their stable operation in practical wastewater treatment. Here we propose a ferric salt-based coagulation/co-catalytic membrane integrated system that can effectively mitigate the detrimental effects of DOM. Ferric salt (Fe) serving both as a DOM coagulant to lower the membrane fouling and as a co-catalyst with the membrane-embedded MoS nanosheets to drive perxymonosulfate (PMS) activation and pollutant degradation.
