Low-temperature deposition and crystallization of RuO2/TiO2 on cotton fabric for efficient solar photocatalytic degradation of o-toluidine

Mouheb Sboui et al.

Summary: A green low-temperature deposition and crystallization method was developed to uniformly coat RuO2/TiO2 nanocomposite onto cotton fabrics for efficient solar photocatalysis. The RuO2/TiO2/Cotton exhibited better visible light absorption and higher charge mobility, leading to a remarkable improvement in photocatalytic activity compared to TiO2/Cotton. The successful formation of a robust heterogeneous interface between TiO2 and RuO2 suppressed charge carrier recombination effectively, contributing to long-term stability in photocatalytic activity and high mechanical durability.

Impact of a new functionalization of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on antifouling and permeability of PVDF nanocomposite membranes for dye wastewater treatment

Sina Gholami et al.

Summary: In this study, novel hydroxyl and carboxyl functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (AHF-MWCNT and ACFMWCNT) were successfully synthesized and used to modify and improve the antifouling properties of PVDF membranes. The blending of AHF-MWCNT and ACF-MWCNT in the PVDF membrane resulted in a more hydrophilic and smoother membrane surface with increased negative charge. The overall porosity and mean pore radius of the membrane were also increased by embedding MWCNTs. The addition of AHF-MWCNT and ACF-MWCNT in the PVDF membrane matrix improved the filtration performance, antifouling, and dye separation. Carboxylic modification showed better performance than hydroxyl functionalization. The 0.1 wt% ACF-MWCNT blended membrane exhibited the best performance with high permeability, high fouling resistance, and high dye rejection.
