TERS has gained a lot of attention from many nanoscience fields, since this technique can provide chemical and structural information of surfaces and interfaces with nanometric spatial resolution. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are very versatile nanostructures that can be dispersed in organic solvents or polymeric matrices, giving rise to new nanocomposite materials, showing improved mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Moreover, MWCNTs can be easily functionalized with polymers in order to be employed as specific chemical sensors. In this context, TERS is strategic, since it can provide useful information on the cooperation of the two components at the nanoscale for the optimization of the macroscopic properties of the hybrid material. Nevertheless, efficient TERS characterization relies on the geometrical features and material composition of the plasmonic tip used. In this work, after comparing the TERS performance of commercial Ag coated nanotips and home-made bulk Au tips on bare MWCNTs, we show how TERS can be exploited for characterizing MWCNTs mixed with conjugated fluorene copolymers, thus contributing to the understanding of the polymer/CNT interaction process at the local scale. 820881

The existing technologies need to be modified, or new innovative treatment techniques need to be developed to ensure environmental protection and secure sustainability in the future. Emphasis is mainly on nutrient recovery, energy‐efficient systems, zero waste generation, and environmentally friendly techniques. Constructed wetlands (CWs) have evolved as natural, eco‐friendly, economical, and low‐maintenance alternatives for wastewater remediation. These wetlands employ several materials as adsorbents for the treatment, commonly known as media/substrate. This review paper presents an assessment of various materials that can be used as substrates in CWs for the efficient removal of organic and non‐biodegradable pollutants in different types of wastewaters. The effect of pH, mineral composition, specific surface area, and porosity of various natural materials and agricultural and industrial wastes used as media in CWs for wastewater remediation was discussed. The study showed that different substrates like alum sludge, limestone, coal slags, rice husk, and sand had removal efficiency for chemical oxygen demand (COD): 71.8%–82%, total phosphorous (TP): 77%–80%, and total nitrogen (TN): 52%–82% for different types of wastewaters. It also highlights the challenges related to the long‐term sustainability of these materials.Practitioner points Physicochemical characteristics influence the removal efficiency of the materials Life of media is also important along with removal efficiency and cost The sustainability of materials is very crucial for the overall performance of the system 821410

publications-1939 Peer reviewed articles 2023 Gookbin Cho,Eva Grinenval,Jean-Christophe P. Gabriel and BĂ©rengĂšre Lebental Intense pH Sensitivity Modulation in Carbon Nanotube-Based Field-Effect Transistor by Non-Covalent Polyfluorene Functionalization Nanomaterials 2023 10.3390/nano13071157 Control Systems Natural Water Bodies We compare the pH sensing performance of non-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNT) field-effect transistors (p-CNTFET) and CNTFET functionalized with a conjugated polyfluorene polymer (labeled FF-UR) bearing urea-based moieties (f-CNTFET). The devices are electrolyte-gated, PMMA-passivated, 5 ”m-channel FETs with unsorted, inkjet-printed single-walled CNT. In phosphate (PBS) and borate (BBS) buffer solutions, the p-CNTFETs exhibit a p-type operation while f-CNTFETs exhibit p-type behavior in BBS and ambipolarity in PBS. The sensitivity to pH is evaluated by measuring the drain current at a gate and drain voltage of −0.8 V. In PBS, p-CNTFETs show a linear, reversible pH response between pH 3 and pH 9 with a sensitivity of 26 ± 2.2%/pH unit; while f-CNTFETs have a much stronger, reversible pH response (373%/pH unit), but only over the range of pH 7 to pH 9. In BBS, both p-CNTFET and f-CNTFET show a linear pH response between pH 5 and 9, with sensitivities of 56%/pH and 96%/pH, respectively. Analysis of the I–V curves as a function of pH suggests that the increased pH sensitivity of f-CNTFET is consistent with interactions of FF-UR with phosphate ions in PBS and boric acid in BBS, with the ratio and charge of the complexed species depending on pH. The complexation affects the efficiency of electrolyte gating and the surface charge around the CNT, both of which modify the I–V response of the CNTFET, leading to the observed current sensitivity as a function of pH. The performances of p-CNTFET in PBS are comparable to the best results in the literature, while the performances of the f-CNTFET far exceed the current state-of-the-art by a factor of four in BBS and more than 10 over a limited range of pH in BBS. This is the first time that a functionalization other than carboxylate moieties has significantly improved the state-of-the-art of pH sensing with CNTFET or CNT chemistors. On the other hand, this study also highlights the challenge of transferring this performance to a real water matrix, where many different species may compete for interactions with FF-UR. 820881
