Published: September 2018

Dimercaprol as the chelating agent of Au(III) was loaded on chitosan aerogel. Dimercaprol supported on chitosan aerogel efficiently was complexed with Au(III). The new organometallic compound showed good catalytic activity in the oxidation reaction of some aliphatic alcohols, benzyl alcohol, and ethylbenzene. High conversions and excellent selectivities were obtained in the solvent-free oxidation reactions under mild reaction conditions. Also, turnover numbers were calculated for the oxidation reactions with 203, 134, 308, 282, 392, and 153 for 1-pentanol, 1-octanol, 2-propanol, 2-butanol, benzyl alcohol, and ethylbenzene, respectively. The organometallic compound is applicable as a heterogeneous Au(III) catalyst with high chemical stabilityand recyclability up to 6 times.

Article Synopsis
  • A new water-soluble silsesquioxane precursor called DEA-GSQ was created by reacting diethanolamine with a glycidyloxypropyl silsesquioxane.
  • The resulting hybrid aerogels, formed by crosslinking DEA-GSQ with chitosan, were thoroughly characterized through various analytical techniques.
  • These hybrid aerogels exhibit a high capacity for adsorbing Au(III) ions, efficiently reducing them to Au(0), and have potential for practical applications in metal adsorption devices.

Carbon aerogels, characterized by their high porosity and superior electrical performance, present significant potential for the development of highly sensitive pressure sensors. However, facile and cost-effective fabrication of biomass-based carbon aerogels that concurrently possess high sensitivity, high elasticity, and excellent fatigue resistance remains a formidable challenge. Herein, a piezoresistive sensor with a layered network microstructure (BCNF-rGO-CS) was successfully fabricated using bamboo nanocellulose fiber (BCNF), chitosan (CS), and graphene oxide (GO) as raw materials.

Wearable pressure sensors capable of adhering comfortably to the skin hold great promise in sound detection. However, current intelligent speech assistants based on pressure sensors can only recognize standard languages, which hampers effective communication for non-standard language people. Here, we prepare an ultralight TiCT MXene/chitosan/polyvinylidene difluoride composite aerogel with a detection range of 6.

The rational use of solar energy to achieve photothermal conversion is an attractive strategy to promote the efficient removal of radioactive Cs and Sr from nuclear wastewater. Herein, a photothermal adsorbent of composite aerogel with three-dimensional porous structure is fabricated by integrating prussian blue analogues (PBAs) and straw biochar into the chitosan (CS) and waste leather scrap hydrolysate (WLSH) aerogel matrix (CS/WLSH/C/PBAs). The local heating effect generated by CS/WLSH/C/PBAs aerogel induce to generate steam, accelerating the enrichment of Cs and Sr in the solution, which increase their interaction with the CS/WLSH/C/PBAs and improves their adsorption rates and capacities.
