Microwave regeneration of adsorbents offers several advantages over conventional regeneration methods; however, its application for microwave transparent adsorbents such as polymers is challenging. In this study, hypercrosslinked polymer/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites with large surface area and enhanced microwave absorption ability were synthesized. Polymers of 4, 4´-bis ((chloromethyl)-1, 1´-biphenyl- benzyl chloride) were hypercrosslinked through the Friedel-Crafts reactions. GO sheets were synthesized through the Hummer's method. Nanocomposites with different GO contents (1-8 wt%) were synthesized by solution mixing method. Thermogravimetry analysis revealed a large enhancement in the thermal stability of GO-filled nanocomposites compared to pristine polymer. N adsorption isotherm analysis showed 7% and 10% reduction in BET surface area and total pore volume of the nanocomposite with 8 wt% GO. Compared to the pristine polymer, the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor increased from 5 to 17 and 0.05-1.6, respectively, for the nanocomposites with 8 wt% GO. Microwave-assisted desorption of toluene from samples revealed more than 160 ºC and 4 times improvement in the desorption temperature and desorption efficiency, respectively, by addition of 4 wt% GO to the polymer. This study showed the important role of GO addition for efficient microwave-assisted regeneration of polymer adsorbents.

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have recently achieved over 26% power conversion efficiency, challenging the dominance of silicon-based alternatives. This progress is significantly driven by innovations in hole transport materials (HTMs), which notably influence the efficiency and stability of PSCs. However, conventional organic HTMs like PTAA, although highly efficient, suffer from thermal degradation, moisture ingress, and high cost.

Three cases of aminobenzoic acid hybrid polyoxotungstates, Na(HO)[(HPWO) (OCCHNH)]·7HO (), K(HO)[(AsWO)(OCCHNH)]·4HO (), and [(HN(CH)]Na(HO)[(SbWO) (OCCHNH)]·7HO (), were successfully synthesized. This is the first report of the successful assembly of the hexanuclear {XW} (X = HP, As, or Sb) clusters and organic carboxylic acid (para aminobenzoic acid) ligands. All three hybrids feature a common {XW} unit composed of a six-membered {WO} octahedral ring capped by one {XO} trigonal pyramid.

This study aimed to prepare a composite film by blending cross-linked tapioca starch (CLTS) with sodium alginate (SA), silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), and ZnO nanoparticles (ZnOs). The effects of SA, AgNPs, and ZnOs at different concentrations (1-3 wt%) on the mechanical properties, optical properties, thermal stability, and antibacterial activity of cross-linked starch films were also investigated. The structures of the films were examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.
