Summary: The magnetic architecture incorporating graphene-chitosan has shown promising potential in wastewater purification. In this study, a Fe3O4-graphene oxide-chitosan (MGOCS) ternary hybrid was fabricated and used as an adsorbent for the removal of aqueous Zn(II) ions. The adsorption mechanism was investigated based on the hard and soft acid base (HSAB) theory, and the results showed that MGOCS was able to remove 96.73% of Zn(II) ions within 38 minutes, with an adsorption quantity of 386.92 mg•g(-1). Spectroscopic analyses supported the proposed adsorption mechanism, suggesting the potential for the development of efficient adsorbents based on magnetic graphene-chitosan for wastewater remediation.

Summary: An innovative chitosan/graphene oxide composite containing phytic acid (PCG) was synthesized for the removal of uranium (VI) from aqueous solutions. PCG possessed flaky surface porous structure, good thermal stability, and strong chelating ability to uranium (VI). The adsorption process of PCG followed the Langmuir isothermal and pseudo-second-order kinetic models, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 325.56 mg/g at pH 5.0. PCG exhibited higher adsorption selectivity due to the strong chelating of its hydroxyl and phosphate groups with uranium (VI). With its easy synthesis, solid-liquid separation, biocompatibility, and negligible toxicity, PCG can effectively recover uranium (VI) from wastewater.

Summary: In this study, chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) were combined to synthesize CS/GO composites with different GO contents. The combination of CS and GO not only improved the surface area by reducing agglomeration of GO sheets, but also significantly enhanced the adsorption capacity of cationic dye on CS. The Langmuir adsorption capacity of methylene blue (MB) reached 259.5 mg/g at pH 8 and 30 degrees C for the CS/GO12 material. The composite showed good adsorption-regeneration performance.

Summary: In this study, a novel method called direct electrostatic deposition was used to prepare a proton exchange membrane (PEM). This method allows precise control over the thickness and size of the PEM. By directly spraying a Nafion solution containing amino modified SiO2 nanoparticles onto a metal collector, a hybrid membrane with a thickness of 30 μm was fabricated. The direct electrostatic deposition method showed potential benefits for the preparation of ultrathin PEMs, as evidenced by the higher power density achieved by the DMFC assembled with the prepared ultrathin membrane.
