We herein present a simple, fast, efficient and environmentally friendly technique to prepare graphene oxide (GO) from graphite rods of recycled batteries by using solution plasma exfoliated techniques at atmospheric pressure. The prepared GO with an average 3 nm-thickness and 1.5 μm-length, having large surface area and high porosity, has been used to remove Pb(ii) ions from the water. The obtained results indicated that the adsorption of Pb(ii) onto GO depends on pH, contact time, temperature and initial concentration of Pb(ii). The maximum adsorption capacity of Pb(ii) onto GO determined from the Langmuir model (with a high value of 0.9913) was 180.1 mg g at room temperature. A removal efficiency of ∼96.6% was obtained after 40 min. Calculations of thermodynamic parameters (Δ°, Δ° Δ°) show the adsorption of Pb(ii) ions on the GO surface is spontaneous and intrinsically heat-absorbing. The potential mechanism can be suggested here to be the interaction of the π-π* bonding electrons and Pb(ii) as well as the electrostatic attraction between Pb(ii) and the oxygen-containing functional groups on GO.

Understanding the behavior and fate of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environment is crucial for assessing their potential risks. This study investigated the heteroaggregation behaviors of MPs with representative 2D nanosheets, MoS and graphene oxide (GO), under various conditions, focusing on the transport behavior of the resulting aggregates. It was found that the destabilization capabilities of 2D nanosheets are notably stronger than those of well-reported nanoparticles.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in electrophysiological and behavioral dysfunction. Electrical stimulation (ES) is considered to be an effective treatment for mild SCI; however, ES is not applicable to severe SCI due to the disruption of electrical conduction caused by tissue defects. Therefore, the use of conductive materials to fill the defects and restore electrical conduction in the spinal cord is a promising therapeutic strategy.

Flexible Passive Wireless Sensing Platform with Frequency Mapping and Multimodal Fusion.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Key Laboratory of MEMS of the Ministry of Education, Southeast University, Nanjing 210096, China.

As one of the core parts of the Internet-of-things (IOTs), multimodal sensors have exhibited great advantages in fields such as human-machine interaction, electronic skin, and environmental monitoring. However, current multimodal sensors substantially introduce a bloated equipment architecture and a complicated decoupling mechanism. In this work we propose a multimodal fusion sensing platform based on a power-dependent piecewise linear decoupling mechanism, allowing four parameters to be perceived and decoded from the passive wireless single component, which greatly broadens the configurable freedom of a sensor in the IOT.
