Graphene oxide (GO) has recently captured tremendous attention, but only few functionalized graphene derivatives were used as fillers, and insightful studies dealing with the thermal, mechanical, biological effects of surface functionalization are currently missing in literature. Herein, reduced (rGO), phosphorylated (PGO), trimethylsilylated (SiMe3GO) prepared by post-modification GO. The electrostatic interactions these fillers chitosan afforded colloidal solutions that provide, after...
Synthetic materials commonly used in the packaging industry generate a considerable amount of waste each year. Chitosan is promising feedstock for production functional biomaterials. From biological point view, chitosan very attractive food packaging. The purposes this study were to evaluate antibacterial activity set chitosan-metal oxide films and different chitosan-modified graphene (oxide) against two foodborne pathogens: Campylobacter jejuni ATCC 33560 Listeria monocytogenes 19115....
Abstract This study aims at elucidating the role of polysaccharide skeleton (alginate versus chitosan) during growth and shaping HKUST‐1 as porous beads. Although two biopolymers afford an open hydrogel network, freeze‐drying step was crucial with water medium being inappropriate to preserve crystalline framework HKUST‐1. Alternatively, drying in ethanol circumvented this drawback by keeping intact structure However, a contrasting behavior observed resulting polysaccharide@HKUST‐1 beads,...
Pyrolysis of filmogenic natural polymers gives rise to the formation films few-layers defective, undoped, and doped graphenes with low electrical conductivity (3000 5000 Ω/sq). For sake valorization biomass wastes, it would be interest decrease density structural defects in order increase resulting graphene samples. In present study, analytical spectroscopic evidence is provided showing that by performing pyrolysis at optimal temperature (1100 °C), under a percentage H2, significant related...
Adsorption of Pd(NH3)42+ in preformed chitosan-graphene oxide (CS-GO) beads and their subsequent reduction with NaBH4 afford well-dispersed, high dispersion (~21%) uniformly sized Pd nanoparticles (~1.7 nm). The resulting Pd/CS-GO exhibits interesting catalytic activity for hydrogen generation by ammonium formate decomposition. optimal GO proportion 7 wt% allows reaching, at 60 °C, a turnover frequency above 2200 h-1-being outstanding among the highest values reported this process to date....
Phosphorylation imparts graphene oxide with great thermal stability, good chelating ability and enhanced interfacial properties.
Abstract In the context of diminishing atmospheric CO 2 emissions, there is an urgent need to develop processes that can be carried out at a scale commensurate with appropriate volumes. One possible reaction transformation methane (Sabatier reaction). Due its chemical stability, catalytic hydrogenation temperatures 450 °C or higher and pressures above 5 bars, thus, requiring significant energy input. alternative possibility conventional thermal catalysis use solar light as primary energy,...
A stand-alone renewable wind-photovoltaic energy system can be used to meet the requirements of off-grid remote area applications.

Phosphorylated graphene sheets covalently bind, grow and stabilize biphasic anatase–rutile clusters through strong P–O–Ti bridges. The resulting nanocomposites stands as efficient visible-light photocatalysts for the degradation of dyes from water.
Metal phosphides have recently emerged as promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report the synthesis of ruthenium diphosphide embedded on a dual-doped graphitic carbon by pyrolyzing chitosan beads impregnated with chloride and phosphorus pentoxide. The as-synthesized RuP2@N-P-C displays good electrocatalytic activity in acidic, neutral alkaline media. We show that HER electrocatalyst can be tuned varying concentration Li+ cations. Co-diffusion effects...
