The present study reports a facile preparation method for poly(o-phenylenediamine) [p(o-PDA)] micro-particles loaded to magnetic carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) hydrogel beads as adsorbents. The prepared products were characterized by FTIR, TGA, VSM, SEM, BET, and zeta sizer. The Fe3O4@p(o-PDA)@CMC beads were used for the removal of Reactive Blue 4 (RB-4) and Congo Red (CR) textile dyes from an aqueous medium. Different factors, such as adsorbent dose, initial pH, ionic strength, contact time, temperatures, and initial RB-4 and CR concentrations were examined. The maximum adsorption capacities of the RB-4 dye and CR at optimum pH 5 reached 398.7 and 524.6 mg/g in 120 min, respectively. The adsorption of RB-4 and CR on the hybrid magnetic beads can be due to the electrostatic, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. Moreover, the magnetic hybrid beads showed easy regeneration ability and good reusability. The adsorbent can be a very good candidate for the efficient removal of micro-pollutant from wastewater.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Functionalization of Single-Layer Tas2 and Formation of Ultrathin Janus Structures(Cambridge University Press, 2020) Kahraman, Zeynep; Yağmurcukardeş, Mehmet; Şahin, HasanAb initio calculations are performed to investigate the structural, vibrational, electronic, and piezoelectric properties of functionalized single layers of TaS2. We find that single-layer TaS2 is a suitable host material for functionalization via fluorination and hydrogenation. The one-side fluorinated (FTaS2) and hydrogenated (HTaS2) single layers display indirect gap semiconducting behavior in contrast to bare metallic TaS2. On the other hand, it is shown that as both surfaces of TaS2 are saturated anti-symmetrically, the formed Janus structure is a dynamically stable metallic single layer. In addition, it is revealed that out-of-plane piezoelectricity is created in all anti-symmetric structures. Furthermore, the Janus-type single-layer has the highest specific heat capacity to which longitudinal and transverse acoustical phonon modes have contribution at low temperatures. Our findings indicate that single-layer TaS2 is suitable for functionalization via H and F atoms that the formed, anti-symmetric structures display distinctive electronic, vibrational, and piezoelectric properties.
