On-line selective solid-phase extraction of 4-nitrophenol with β-cyclodextrin bonded silica

The selective analysis of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) from water samples using on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) coupled to HPLC system was studied. The β-cyclodextrin bonded silica (CDS) was utilized as the selective sorbent. Using 100 ml of sample solution spiked with 4-nitrophenol and other six phenols (Ph) in double distilled water, the sorbent showed strong capacity in adsorbing 4-nitrophenol and the recovery was 104% with the detection limit of 0.017 μg/l. The selectivity was investigated by utilizing a washing step with acetonitrile after preconcentration and only 4-nitrophenol was detected with the recovery of 99%. Donghu lake (Wuhan, China) water sample was used to test the on-line SPE-HPLC system and 4-nitrophenol was selectively extracted with the recovery obtained as 90%.

The functional hierarchical microspheres with gold nanoparticles exhibit good catalytic activity in the reaction of reducing 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol.     

Novel Ag2S nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide sheets as a super-efficient catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol

Here,Ag_2S nanoparticles on reduced graphene oxide(Ag_2S NPs/RGO) nanocomposites with relatively good distribution are synthesized for the first time by conversing Ag NPs/RGO to Ag_2S NPs/RGO via a facile hydrothermal sulfurization method.As an noval catalyst for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol(4-NP),it only takes 5 min for Ag_2S NPs/RGO to reduce 98% of 4-NP,and the rate constant of the composites is almost 13 times higher than that of Ag NPs/RGO composites.The high catalytic activity of Ag_2S NPs/RGO can be attributed to the following three reasons:(1) Like metal complex catalysts,the Ag_2S NPs is also rich with metal center Ag(δ~+),with pendant base S(δ) close to it,and thus the Ag and basic S function as the electron-acceptor and proton-acceptor centers,respectively,which facilitates the catalyst reaction;(2)RGO features the high adsorption ability toward 4-NP which provides a high concentration of 4-NP near the Ag_2S NPs;and(3) electron transfer from RGO to Ag_2S NPs,facilitating the uptake of electrons by 4-NP molecules.

Microwave-induced synthesis of highly dispersed gold nanoparticles within the pore channels of mesoporous silica

Highly dispersed gold nanoparticles have been incorporated into the pore channels of SBA-15 mesoporous silica through a newly developed strategy assisted by microwave radiation (MR). The sizes of gold are effectively controlled attributed to the rapid and homogeneous nucleation, simultaneous propagation and termination of gold precursor by MR. Diol moieties with high dielectric and dielectric loss constants, and hence a high microwave activation, were firstly introduced to the pore channels of SBA-15 by a simple addition reaction between amino group and glycidiol and subsequently served as the reduction centers for gold nanoparticles. Extraction of the entrapped gold from the nanocomposite resulted in milligram quantities of gold nanoparticles with low dispersity. The successful assembly process of diol groups and formation of gold nanoparticles were monitored and tracked by solid-state NMR and UV-vis measurements. Characterization by small angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that the incorporation of gold nanoparticles would not breakup the structural integrity and long-range periodicity of SBA-15. The gold nanoparticles had a narrow size distribution with diameters in the size range of 5-10 nm through TEM observation. The average particles size is 7.9 nm via calculation by the Scherrer formula and TEM measurements. Nitrogen adsorption and desorption isotherms gave further evidence that the employed method was efficient and gold nanoparticles were successfully incorporated into the pore channels of SBA-15.     

Oxygen vacancy rich tungsten oxide with nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon as matrix for overall water splitting and 4-nitrophenol reductive removal

A nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon matrix supported oxygen vacancies rich tungsten oxide composite material, WO_3-x@NC (1 > x > 0), has been fabricated successfully with chitosan and H₃PW₁₂O₄₀ as precursors through calcination. In this composite material, WO_3-x particles with the size about 10–15 nm disperse evenly in nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon matrix. WO_3-x@NC presents low overpotentials (η₁₀) of 61 and 306 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA/cm² for HER and OER in 1.0 M KOH, respectively. With WO_3-x@NC as both cathode and anode at the same time, an electrolyzer, WO_3-x@NC//WO_3-x@NC was constructed for overall water splitting, which only needs a cell voltage of 1.60 V to achieve a current of 10 mA/cm². During this process, WO_3-x@NC//WO_3-x@NC exhibits remarkable stability in 48 h. Moreover, besides HER and OER, WO_3-x@NC also shows striking catalytic activity for reductive conversion of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol. Oxygen vacancies from WO_3-x and good electron transportation property of nitrogen doped carbon matrix play important roles in overall water electrocatalytic splitting and 4-nitrophenol reductive removal. We expect WO_3-x@NC will find its way as a new resource for hydrogen energy as well as a promising material in 4-nitrophenol removal from water.     

Characterization of gold nanoparticles electrochemically deposited on amine-functioned mesoporous silica films and electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose

This study reports the preparation and characterization of gold nanoparticles deposited on amine-functioned hexagonal mesoporous silica (NH₂–HSM) films and the electrocatalytic oxidation of glucose. Gold nanoparticles are fabricated by electrochemically reducing chloroauric acid on the surface of NH₂–HSM film, using potential step technology. The gold nanoparticles deposited have an average diameter of 80 nm and show high electroactivity. Prussian blue film can form easily on them while cycling the potential between −0.2 and 0.6 V (vs saturated calomel electrode) in single ferricyanide solution. The gold nanoparticles loading NH₂–HSM-film-coated glassy carbon electrode (Au–NH₂–HSM/GCE) shows strong catalysis to the oxidation of glucose, and according to the cathodic oxidation peak at about 0.16 V, the catalytic current is about 2.5 μA mM⁻¹. Under optimized conditions, the peak current of the cathodic oxidation peak is linear to the concentration of glucose in the range of 0.2 to 70 mM. The detection limit is estimated to be 0.1 mM. In addition, some electrochemical parameters about glucose oxidation are estimated.     

Green preparation of hollow mesoporous silica nanosphere inside-loaded gold nanoparticles and the catalytic activity

In this work, an active nano-catalyst with gold nanoparticles loaded in hollow mesoporous silica nanospheres (HMSNs/Au) was prepared by a one-pot sol-gel method, in which gold ions were loaded in hollow mesoporous silica spheres followed by sodium alginate reduction. The characterization of the HMSNs/Au were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET). The high catalytic activity of HMSNs/Au, denoted as apparent turn-over frequency (TOF), was detected by UV-Vis spectrophotometer for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (74.5 h^?1) and 2-nitrophenol (108.7 h^?1) in the presence of sodium borohydride solution due to the small gold nanoparticles size and overall exposure of active sites. It is expected that this ecofriendly approach to prepare inorganic composited nanoparticles as high active catalysts based on hollow mesoporous materials was a promising platform for loading noble metal nanoparticles.     

Single-walled carbon nanohorn as new solid-phase extraction adsorbent for determination of 4-nitrophenol in water sample

Single-walled carbon nanohorn (SWCNH) was developed as new adsorbent for solid-phase extraction using 4-nitrophenol as representative. The unique exoteric structures and high surface area of SWCNH allow extracting a large amount of 4-nitrophenol over a short time.

The proposed method was successfully employed to determine 4-nitrophenol in lake water samples, and the recoveries of the spiked 4-nitrophenol were excellent (92-106%).
