Multilayer graphene oxide (mGO) was synthesized and functionalized via co-precipitation method to produce magnetic FeO-functionalized multilayer graphene oxide nanocomposite (MmGO). Photocatalytic properties of MmGO were investigated in the photodegradation of raw textile wastewater samples. Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy revealed Fe-O vibrations, characterized by the band shift from 636.27 to 587.25 cm on MmGO. X-ray diffraction confirmed the successful oxidation of graphite by the (002) peak at 10° and indicated the presence of FeO on MmGO surface by the peaks at 2θ 35.8° (311), 42.71° (400), 54.09° (511), and 62.8° (440). There was no detection of coercivity field and remnant magnetization, evidencing a material with superparamagnetic properties. Then, the textile effluent was treated by heterogeneous photo-Fenton (HPF) reaction. A 2 factorial design was conducted to evaluate the effects of MmGO dosage and HO concentration on HPF, with color and turbidity removal as response variables. The kinetic behavior of the adsorption and HPF processes was investigated separately, in which, the equilibrium was reached within 60 and 120 min, for adsorption and HPF, respectively. Pseudo-second-order model exhibited the best fit, with COD uptake capacity at equilibrium of 4094.94 mg g, for chemical oxygen demand. The modeling of kinetics data showed that the Chan and Chu model was the most representative for HPF, with initial removal rate of 95.52 min. The removal of organic matter was 76.36% greater than that reached by conventional treatment at textile mills. The presence of FeO nanoparticles attached to MmGO surface was responsible for the increase of electron mobility and the enhancement of its photocatalytic properties. Finally, MmGO presented low phytotoxic to Cucumis sativus L. with a RGI of 0.53. These results bring satisfactory perspectives regarding further employment, on large scale, of MmGO as nanocatalyst of textile pollutants.

The nonlinear optical response in graphene is finding increasing applications in nanophotonic devices. The activation and enhancement of second harmonic generation (SHG) in graphene, which is generally forbidden in monolayer and AB-stacked bilayer graphene due to their centrosymmetry, is of urgent need for nanophotonic applications. Here, we present a comprehensive study of SHG performance of twisted multilayer graphene structures based on stacking engineering.

In order to identify carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum samples, an innovative smartphone-based, label-free electrochemical immunosensor was created without the need for additional labels or markers. This technology presents a viable method for on-site cancer diagnostics. The novel smartphone-integrated, label-free immunosensing platform was constructed by nanostructured materials that utilize the layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly technique, allowing for meticulous control over the interface.

The development of quasi-solid-state lithium metal batteries (QSSLMBs) is hindered by inadequate interfacial contact, poor wettability between electrodes and quasi-solid-state electrolytes, and significant volume changes during long-term cycling, leading to safety risks and cataclysmic failures. Here, we report an innovative approach to enhance interfacial properties through the construction of QSSLMBs. A multilayer design integrates a microwave-synthesized LiAlTi(PO) (LATP) ceramic electrolyte, which is surface-coated with a lithiophilic conductive ink comprising VS and disulfonated functionalized graphene nanosheets (VS-DSGNS) using a low-cost nail-polish binder.

Graphene's exceptional physical properties, such as high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, have attracted significant interest for its integration in transistors and thermal interface materials. While achieving various conformations of graphene is desirable for such applications, synthesizing graphene with target conformations remains a challenge. In this work, we present a method for synthesizing multilayer graphene with ridged conformations, using a microscale ridge-patterned copper (Cu) layer that was epitaxially deposited on a sapphire substrate.

An accurate assessment of the electrodeposition mechanism is essential for evaluating the electrochemical stability and reversibility of the metal anodes. Multiple strategies aimed at uniform Zn deposition have been extensively reported, yet it is challenging to clarify the Zn crystal growth regularity and activity due to the obscured physicochemical properties of as-deposited Zn. Herein, we present a protocol for elucidating the controlled epitaxial growth process of Zn crystals and quantifying their surface electrochemical activity using scanning electrochemical microscopy.
