Adsorption is an effective method for treating wastewater containing nickel due to its minimal equipment requirements and flexible operation. Therefore, an environmental friendly, inexpensive, efficient and recyclable adsorbent is needed. In this work, a reusable dual-functional super-paramagnetic adsorbent was prepared by combining APTES (3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane) and EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium) with magnetic diatomite for the removal of Ni. It is named diatomite/CoFeO@APTES-EDTA (DECFASEs). The synthetic material was characterized and studied by XRD (X-ray Powder Diffractometer), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), EDS (Energy Dispersive Spectrometer), VSM (Vibrating-Sample Magnetometer), BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method, Zeta potential analyzer and XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), respectively. The performance of adsorption Ni by DECFASEs was studied on effect of pH, reaction time and initial concentrations. The adsorption and desorption capacity and recyclability of the adsorbent material were estimated. A adsorption kinetic data had a significant correlation with the pseudo second-order kinetic and also adsorption isotherm data corresponded well with Freundlich adsorption isotherm. The maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent material was 19.22 mg/g. The Ni adsorption capacity of DECFASEs decreased slightly from 9.11 to 8.25 mg/g after 4 recycles. The XPS results of DECFASEs before and after Ni uptake showed N and O participated in the complexation of Ni in the adsorption process, which verified the chemical interaction between Ni and DECFASEs. Modified-diatomite is a promising adsorbent for aqueous Ni removal.

Superhydrophobic surfaces find applications in numerous biomedical scenarios, requiring the repellence of biofluids and biomolecules. Plastron, the trapped air between a superhydrophobic surface and a wetting liquid, plays a pivotal role in biofluid repellency. A key challenge, however, is the often short-lived plastron stability in biofluids and the lack of knowledge surrounding it.

Poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials have been widely researched and applied as fouling-release coatings. Incorporation of silicone oils into PDMS has been shown to improve the antifouling properties of PDMS materials. In this research, we applied sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy to study PDMS materials incorporated with various silicone oils containing phenyl groups in air, water, and protein solutions.

Photochemical weathering and eco-corona formation through natural organic matter (NOM) adsorption play vital roles in the aggregation tendencies of nanoplastics (NPs) in aquatic environments. However, it remains unclear how photochemical weathering alters the adsorption patterns of NOM and the conformation of the eco-corona, subsequently affecting the aggregation tendencies of NPs. This study examined the effect of Suwannee River NOM adsorption on the aggregation kinetics of pristine and photoaged polystyrene (PS) NPs in monovalent electrolyte solutions.

In this study, we demonstrate a novel and efficient fabrication methodology for nonclose-packed, two-dimensional (2D) colloidal crystals exhibiting square lattice structures. In our recent work, we detailed the formation of 2D colloidal crystals via the electrostatic adsorption of three-dimensional (3D) charged colloidal crystals onto oppositely charged substrates. These 3D colloidal crystals possessed a face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice structure with their (111) planes aligned parallel to the substrate, facilitating the formation of 2D crystals with triangular lattice arrangements upon adsorption.

A AuNSs@PB@Ag-Apt surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe has been developed by embedding Prussian blue (PB) between Au core and Ag shell. The PB SERS probe illustrates strong SERS activity in the Raman silent region of 2070 cm, and has a zero background signal, ensuring high sensitivity for the detection of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
