In this study, we demonstrate a new approach to easily prepare spinel CoO nanoparticles (-CoO NPs) in the gram-scale from the cathode of spent lithium ion batteries (SLIBs) by the alkali leaching of hexaamminecobalt(III) complex ions. As-obtained intermediate and final products were characterized with powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, the synthesized -CoO NPs showed better electrocatalytic properties toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in comparison to previously reported CoO NPs and nanowires, which could be due to the more exposed electrocatalytic active sites on the -CoO NPs. Moreover, the electrocatalytic activity of the -CoO NPs was comparable to the previously reported RuO catalysts. By taking advantage of the proposed recycling route, we would expect that various valuable transition metal oxide NPs could be prepared from SLIBs.

The interactions of nanoplastics (NPs) with natural organic matter (NOM) are influenced by their surface functional groups. In this study, the effects of representative functional groups on the interactions among polystyrene nanoplastics (PS-COOH and PS-NH), hydrophilic low molecular weight (LMW) substances (salicylic acid (SA), phthalic acid (PA), and gluconic acid (GA)), and a novel AlTi-based coagulant were investigated. We found that PS-NH (83.

Currently, biopolymer-based Zn-containing nanoforms are of great interest for medical applications. However, there is lack information on optimal synthesis parameters, reagents and stabilizing agent for production of zinc carbonate nanoparticles (ZnC-NPs). In this work, synthesis of ZnC-NPs was carried out by chemical precipitation with the use of chitosan, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hyaluronic acid as stabilizing agents.

Article Synopsis
- Solution-phase epitaxy is an effective method for creating functional nanomaterials, with the choice of support significantly influencing their properties.
- The research focuses on using calcination-modified kaolinite as a support to enhance the growth of hexagonal CoO nanoparticles, achieving over 40 times higher activity in HO electrochemical activation compared to those without support.
- Findings highlight the importance of aluminum sites in kaolinite, which improve the formation and electron transfer processes of CoO nanoparticles, ultimately demonstrating the potential of nanoclays as valuable supports in nanomaterial synthesis.

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.
