Article Abstract

In order to improve the dispersion of molybdenum disulfide (MoS) and enhance the performance of MoS, two alginate-derived biomass carbon-MoS (BC-MoS) composites: CMB/CMS, were prepared by introducing BC during the synthesis of MoS by hydrothermal. The effects of different gels, times and temperatures of the synthesized BC-MoS were investigated, and the adsorption capacity for methylene blue (MB), basic fuchsin (BF) and copper ions (Cu) was tested. The results indicated that the vertical growth of MoS on the BC surface could be realized when using xero-gel, while the BC and MoS were mixed uniformly when using wet-gel. Compared with MoS, the hydrophilicity and water dispersibility of BC-MoS were greatly improved, and BC-MoS had better adsorption capacity for MB/BF/Cu (99.61/86.83/60 mg/g). The adsorption mechanism exhibits that the adsorption force of BC-MoS on MB/BF is mainly based on the electrostatic force, and the adsorption on Cu comes from the electrostatic force and the Lewis soft-soft interaction. This study dramatically enriches the application of transition metal chalcogenides and provides a meaningful reference for wastewater treatment.

CQDs-Cross-Linked Conductive Collagen/PAA-Based Nanocomposite Organohydrogel Coupling Flexibility with Multifunctionality for Dual-Modal Sensing of Human Motions.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Key Laboratory of Leather Chemistry and Engineering of Ministry of Education, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, Sichuan, China.

Conductive hydrogels are ideal materials for intelligent medical devices, human-machine interfaces, and flexible bioelectrodes due to their adjustable mechanical properties and electrical responsiveness, whereas it is still a great challenge to achieve the integration of excellent flexibility and biocompatibility into one hydrogel sensor while also incorporating self-healing, self-adhesion, environmental tolerance, and antimicrobial properties. Here, a nanocomposite conductive organohydrogel was constructed by using collagen (Col), alginate-derived carbon quantum dots (OSA-CQDs), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), ethylene glycol reduced AgNPs, and Fe ions. Depending on OSA-CQDs with multiple chemical binding sites and high specific surface area as cross-linkers, while coupling highly biologically active Col chains and PAA chains are serving as an energy dissipation module, the resulting organohydrogel exhibited excellent flexibility (795% of strain, 193 kPa of strength), high cell compatibility (>95% survival rate), self-healing efficiency (HE = 79.

Preserving stable tooth-periodontal tissue integration is vital for maintaining alveolar bone stability under physiological conditions. However, tooth extraction compromises this integration and impedes socket healing. Therefore, it becomes crucial to provide early stage coverage of the socket to promote optimal healing.

Biomass Alginate Derived Oxygen-Enriched Carbonaceous Materials with Partially Graphitic Nanolayers for High Performance Anodes in Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries with high reversible capacity, high-rate capability, and extended cycle life are vital for future consumer electronics and renewable energy storage. There is a great deal of interest in developing novel types of carbonaceous materials to boost lithium storage properties due to the inadequate properties of conventional graphite anodes. In this study, we describe a facile and low-cost approach for the synthesis of oxygen-doped hierarchically porous carbons with partially graphitic nanolayers (Alg-C) from pyrolyzed Na-alginate biopolymers without resorting to any kind of activation step.
