摘要: A composition for dry reagent colorimetric sensing of nanoparticles in aqueous media, including sodium borohydride (NaBH4), methylene blue (MB), and 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) in the form of a powdered mixture. The composition may be formed by combining MB, HEBES, and water to yield an aqueous mixture, removing water from the aqueous mixture to yield a solid mixture, and combining NaBH4 powder with the solid mixture to yield the composition. The composition may be used to detect metallic nanoparticles an aqueous solution by combining the composition with an aqueous solution to yield a test solution, and assessing a concentration of the metallic nanoparticles in the test solution based on absorbance of light by the test solution. The composition may be provided in an assay kit for sensing nanoparticles in aqueous media.

摘要: An electrode includes an electrically conductive substrate with a coating containing boron-doped diamond (BDD) nanoparticles. Fabricating the electrode can include dispersing BDD nanoparticles in a solvent to yield a suspension, coating a conductive substrate with the suspension, and drying the suspension to yield the electrode. In some cases, fabricating the electrode includes combining BDD nanoparticles with a polymeric resin precursor to yield a mixture including a metal oxide, coating a conductive substrate with the mixture to yield a coated substrate, and calcining the coated substrate to yield a metal oxide coating including BDD nanoparticles. In certain cases, fabricating the electrode includes combining powdered activated carbon with polymeric linkers to yield a polymeric precursor solution, combining BDD nanoparticles with the polymeric precursor solution to yield a mixture, coating a conductive substrate with the mixture to yield a coated substrate, and crosslinking the polymeric linkers to yield the electrode.

摘要: Compositions for bromide removal include a two-dimensional material impregnated with silver. The silver may be impregnated in the two-dimensional material by contacting the two-dimensional material with silver ions in an aqueous solution, allowing the silver ions to adsorb on the two-dimensional material, and drying the two-dimensional material. Removing bromide from an aqueous composition including bromide may include contacting the aqueous composition with a two-dimensional material impregnated with silver, and allowing the bromide to react with the silver to yield silver bromide.

摘要: A photoreactor including a reservoir configured to hold water, the reservoir defining an inlet and an outlet, and a multiplicity of optical fiber assemblies positioned in the reservoir. Each optical fiber assembly includes one or more optical fibers coated with a composition comprising a photoresponsive polymer and a light source optically coupled to the one or more optical fibers. The photoresponsive polymer undergoes a change from an initial state to an irradiated state when irradiated with light from the light source, and photoresponsive polymer in the irradiated state is adapted to bind an ion from the water.
