A one-pot solvothermal synthesis method was developed to prepare reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported ferrite hybrids using graphite oxide and metal ions (Fe(3+)) as starting materials. The as-prepared composites were characterized by transmission electron microscopy(TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction pattern(XRD) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was shown that Fe3O4 nanoparticles with a uniform size of ∼35nm were anchored on RGO nanosheets. Importantly, the obtained nanocomposites are effective adsorbents for the determination of three sulfonamides in wastewater. Several parameters affecting the extraction efficiency were optimized, including amount of adsorbent, extraction time, pH and desorption conditions. Compared with other adsorbents, the as-prepared RGO-Fe3O4 showed the better extraction efficiencies for the SAS due to the large surface area of RGO. A linear range from 1 to 200ng/mL was obtained with a high correlation coefficient (R(2)>0.9987), and the limits of detection for three SAs ranged from 0.43 to 0.57ng/mL. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of SAs in environmental wastewater samples, the recoveries in different sample matrices were in the range from 89.1 and 101.7% with relative standard deviations less than 8.6%. It is believed that such composites will find wide applications in the water pretreatment area.

Chemotherapy is a crucial cancer treatment, but its effectiveness requires precise monitoring of drug concentrations in patients. This study introduces an innovative electrochemical strip sensor design to detect and continuously monitor methotrexate (MTX), a key chemotherapeutic drug. The sensor is crafted through an eco-friendly synthesis process that produces porous reduced graphene oxide (PrGO), which is then integrated with gold nanocomposites and polypyrrole (PPy) to boost the performance of a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE).

Thermally driven membrane desalination processes have garnered significant interest for their potential in the treatment of hypersaline wastewater. However, achieving high rejection rates for volatiles while maintaining a high water flux remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we propose a thermo-osmosis-evaporation (TOE) system that utilizes molecular intercalation-regulated graphene oxide (GO) as the thermo-osmotic selective permeation layer, positioned on a hydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) fibrous membrane serving as the thermo-evaporation layer.

The structural alterations in the constituent materials of nanocomposites such as graphene nanocomposites typically induce changes in their properties including mechanical, electrical, and optical properties. Therefore, by altering the preparation conditions of nanocomposites and investigating their responsiveness to basic biomolecules (such as proteins), it is possible to explore the application potentials of the composites and guide development of new nanocomposite preparation. In this study, different composites of graphene oxide and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs/GO) were obtained by varying the volumes of reducing agents used in the one-pot hydrothermal method.

Electrochemical water splitting is a promising method for the generation of "green hydrogen", a renewable and sustainable energy source. However, the complex, multistep synthesis processes, often involving hazardous or expensive chemicals, limit its broader adoption. Herein, a nitrate (NO) anion-intercalated nickel-iron-cerium mixed-metal (oxy)hydroxide heterostructure electrocatalyst is fabricated on nickel foam (NiFeCeOH@NF) via a simple electrodeposition method followed by cyclic voltammetry activation to enhance its surface properties.

Silicon-based anode materials experience significant volume changes and low conductivity during the lithiation process, which severely hinders their successful application in lithium-ion batteries. Reducing the size of silicon particles and effectively combining them with carbon-based materials are considered the main strategies to enhance the lithium-ion storage performance of silicon-based anodes. In this study, we employed a "bottom-up" strategy to synthesize Si@C anode materials by cross-linking octa-aminopropyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (NH-POSS) with terephthalaldehyde and subsequent high-temperature treatment and low-temperature liquid reduction.
