Article Abstract
Fabricating efficient materials for environmental purposes is a priority and the subject of much attention nowadays. The objectives of this study are to adopt an amino modification approach to improve the selective removal capacity of magnetic graphene oxide (MGO) for Cu(II) ions, and explore how it performs in single and binary systems by taking Cd(II) as a comparison. After grafting the amino groups, the final material exhibited promoted capacities for Cu(II) and Cd(II), and a more apparent selective adsorption process can be observed. The maximum equilibrium adsorbances of amino modified MGO were 578.1 mg g for Cu(II) and 184.7 mg g for Cd(II) under our experimental conditions, compared with 319.1 mg g and 161.2 mg g of MGO for Cu(II) and Cd(II), respectively. Characterization results and experiment data confirmed that the introduction of N species contributed to the enhancement. This may pave the way for better understanding of the underlying mechanism, and provide inspiration for synthesizing new adsorbents.

Malignant growth is expected to surpass other significant causes of death as one of the top reasons for dismalness and mortality worldwide. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) study, this illness causes approximately between 9 and 10 million instances of deaths annually. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery are the three main methods of treating cancer.

The intercalation of metal chlorides, and particularly iron chlorides, into graphitic carbon structures has recently received lots of attention, as it can not only protect this two-dimensional (2D) magnetic system from the effects of the environment but also substantially alter the magnetic, electronic, and optical properties of both the intercalant and host material. At the same time, intercalation can result in the formation of structural defects or defects can appear under external stimuli, which can affect materials performance. These aspects have received so far little attention in dedicated experiments.

Trace contaminants are toxic and their widespread presence in the environment potentially threatens human health. The levels of these pollutants are often difficult to determine directly using instruments owing to the complexities of environment matrices. Hence, pretreatment steps, such as sample purification and concentration, are key along with various processes that enhance the accuracy and sensitivity of the detection method.

In a dilute two-dimensional electron gas, Coulomb interactions can stabilize the formation of a Wigner crystal. Although Wigner crystals are topologically trivial, it has been predicted that electrons in a partially filled band can break continuous translational symmetry and time-reversal symmetry spontaneously, resulting in a type of topological electron crystal known as an anomalous Hall crystal. Here we report signatures of a generalized version of the anomalous Hall crystal in twisted bilayer-trilayer graphene, whose formation is driven by the moiré potential.

Electrons in topological flat bands can form new topological states driven by correlation effects. The pentalayer rhombohedral graphene/hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) moiré superlattice was shown to host fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) at approximately 400 mK (ref. ), triggering discussions around the underlying mechanism and role of moiré effects.
