Remediation of engineered-nanomaterials is an up-coming major environmental concern. This study demonstrates adsorptive-remediation of cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO NPs) from the water. The α-cellulose-fibers were extracted from waste-paper biomass (WP-αCFs) and magnetized with FeO NPs (M-WP-αCFs). The XRD, FT-IR, and TGA were performed for detailed characterization of the newly developed bioadsorbent. The M-WP-αCFs was then applied for adsorptive remediation of CoO NPs. The adsorptive kinetics of CoO NPs adsorption onto the M-WP-αCFs reveals the pseudo-second-order model. The various adsorption isotherm studies revealed Langmuir is a best-fit isotherm. A prominently high adsorption capacity q (1567 mg/g) corroborated extraordinary adsorptive potential of M-WP-αCFs. Furthermore, CoO NPs were adsorbed onto M-WP-αCFs were analyzed by the XPS, VSM, and TEM. Therefore, this study gave rise WP biomass extracted and rapidly-separable nano-biocomposite of 'M-WP-αCFs' with a high-capacity for CoO NPs remediation and can be further applied in remediation of several other engineered-nanomaterials.

Solution-phase epitaxy is a versatile method to synthesize functional nanomaterials with customized properties, where supports play a central role as they not only serve as nucleation templates but also greatly affect the local electronic structures. However, developing functional supports remains a great challenge. Herein, inspired by the commonly observed epitaxy of minerals in the natural environment, we report using calcination-modified kaolinite as the support for the epitaxial growth of hexagonal CoO nanoparticles (-CoO NPs), which enables over 40 times higher mass-specific activity toward HO electrochemical activation than the counterpart without the support.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoO-NPs), which exhibit unique catalytic and magnetic properties, making them valuable for applications like catalysts, drug delivery, and sensors.
- - Researchers explored the synthesis and local characterization of CoO-NPs in two crystal structures—rock-salt cubic (fcc-CoO) and Wurtzite (hcp-CoO)—using different ligands (oleylamine and oleic acid) to control their properties.
- - Techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy confirmed the successful synthesis of both phases, with the better morphological control observed in nanoparticles produced using a combination of the ligands.
