Multifunctional and Recyclable TiO2 Hybrid Sponges for Efficient Sorption, Detection, and Photocatalytic Decomposition of Organic Pollutants
摘要： Developing techniques for monitoring and removing organic pollutants such as solvents and dyes in environmental media is a very important task nowadays. To get rid of the pollutants, efficient materials that can sorb, detect, and decompose such compounds have been consistently sought after. Herein, we demonstrate a simple and inexpensive method to fabricate eco-friendly multifunctional and recyclable TiO2 hybrid sponges composed of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) network and functional nanoparticles. Water-soluble crystals were used to construct porous templates and TiO2 nanoparticles were additionally integrated into the templates where liquid PDMS was filled. After curing the PDMS, the TiO2 integrated hybrid sponges were finally obtained by dissolving the templates with water. By using the fabricated hybrid sponges, sorbed organic pollutants were qualitatively detected via molecular-specific Raman signals. Furthermore, we showed the recyclability by achieving photocatalytic decomposition of the sorbed pollutants induced by the TiO2 nanoparticles. These results are instructive for further applications and also contribute toward solving problems relating to environmental pollution.

Selective Monitoring of Oxyanion Mixtures by a Flow System with Raman Detection
摘要： Raman spectroscopy is a selective detection system scarcely applied for the flow analysis of solutions with the aim of detecting several compounds at once without a previous separation step. This work explores the potential of a portable Raman system in a flow system for the selective detection of a mixture of seven oxyanions (carbonate, sulphate, nitrate, phosphate, chlorate, perchlorate, and thiosulphate). The specific bands of these compounds (symmetric stretching Raman active vibrations of carbonate at 1068 cm?1, nitrate at 1049 cm?1, thiosulphate at 998 cm?1, phosphate at 989 cm?1, sulphate at 982 cm?1, perchlorate at 935 cm?1, and chlorate at 932 cm?1) enabled their simultaneous detection in mixtures. Although the oxyanions’ limit of detection (LOD) was rather poor (in the millimolar range), this extremely simple system is very useful for the single-measurement detection of most of the oxyanions in mixtures, without requiring a previous separation step. In addition, quantitative determination of the desired oxyanion can be performed by means of the corresponding calibration line. These are important advantages for controlling in-line processes in industries like those manufacturing fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or food, among others.

Enhanced Raman Detection System based on a Hollow-core Fiber Probe design
摘要： This paper focus on an enhanced Raman-based detection probe and its performance evaluated. The probe employs a hollow-core fiber design to allow liquid micro-sample to be analyzed. The hollow-core fiber is used both to transmit the light signal used to excite the sample and to collect the Raman scattering signal received from the micro-sample under analysis. In order to maximize the performance of the system, various parameters have been studied experimentally, including the diameter and the height of the liquid sample in the probe. The aim has been optimizing both as a means to enhance the Raman scattering signal received from the liquid sample. As a result, a Raman-based detection probe using a reflector approach was developed and evaluated. This design enabling a greater area for interaction with the sample to be formed and to concentrate the excitation light into it. This then increases the efficiency of the light-liquid interaction and improves the collection efficiently of the forward Raman scattering light signal. With the use of this design, the detected Raman scattering signal was increased by a factor of 103~104 over what otherwise would be achieved. A key feature is that with the use of a hollow-core fiber to collect the liquid sample, only a very small volume is needed, making this well suited to practical applications where limited amounts of material are available e.g. biofluids or high value liquids. The system designed and evaluated thus provides the basis of an effective all-fiber Raman-based detection system, capable of being incorporated into portable analysis equipment for rapid detection and in-the-field use.
