High-yield, rapid and facile synthesis of elongated pure anatase titania nanoparticles has been achieved through a nonaqueous microwave-based approach. The residual organics onto nanoparticles surfaces were completely removed through a new treatment under ozone flow, at room temperature in air. Such an ozone cleaning method revealed an effective inexpensive dry process of removing organic contaminants from nanoparticles surfaces. The TiO2 elongated nanoparticles having a length of 13.8 ± 5.5 nm and a diameter of 9.0 ±1.2 nm were characterized by powder X-Ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected area diffraction, BET surface area analyzer and FT-IR spectroscopy. Photocatalytic evaluation demonstrated that the as-synthesized ozone-cleaned TiO2 nanoparticles and TiO2 nanoparticles loaded with platinum possess excellent Rhodamine B performance with respect to both commercial spherical nanotitania P25 and P25 loaded with platinum. This could be attributed to the anatase phase purity, small size, large specific surface area and clean surfaces of the prepared nanoparticles.

Gloria MazzoneThis review focuses on the ability of some natural antioxidant molecules (i.e., hydroxycinnamic acids, coumarin-3-carboxylic acid, quercetin, luteolin and curcumin) to form Al(III)- and Fe(III)-complexes with the aim of evaluating the coordination properties from a combined experimental and theoretical point of view. Despite the contributions of previous studies on the chemical properties and biological activity of these metal complexes involving such natural antioxidants, further detailed relationships between the structure and properties are still required. In this context, the investigation on the coordination properties of Al(III) and Fe(III) toward these natural antioxidant molecules might deserve high interest to design water soluble molecule-based metal carriers that can improve the metal’s intake and/or its removal in living organisms.

Mercury pollution poses a global health threat due to its high toxicity, especially in seafood where it accumulates through various pathways. Developing effective and affordable technologies for mercury removal from water is crucial. Adsorption stands out as a promising method, but creating low-cost materials with high selectivity and capacity for mercury adsorption is challenging. Here we show a sustainable method to synthesize low-cost sulfhydrylated cellulose with ethylene sulfide functionalities bonded glucose units. Thiol-functionalized cellulose exhibits exceptional adsorption capacity (1325 mg g-1) and selectivity for Hg(II) over other heavy metals (Co, Cu, Zn, Pb) and common cations (Ca++, Mg++) found in natural waters. It performs efficiently across a wide pH range and different aqueous matrices, including wastewater, and can be regenerated and reused multiple times without significant loss of performance. This approach offers a promising solution for addressing mercury contamination in water sources.
About Me
Dr Corrente obtained her graduate degree in Chemistry at the University of Calabria in 2012. In 2014, at the same University she took her University II Level Master in “Servizi di Prototipazione e Ricerca per le Nuove Tecnologie e i nuovi materiali (SPRINT)” with the title of “Technical expert in the use of complex instrumentation for the study and analysis of new technologies and new materials.” She earned her Ph.D. in “Ingegneria dei materiali e delle strutture e nanotecnologie” at the University of Salento (Italy) in 2018, working on energy conversion and energy saving by multifunctional dibenzofulvene-based organic materials.
Dr Corrente research interest concern the studies of multifunctional organic materials and devices for applications in optoelectronics. Her skills in the chemical-physical characterization concern NMR spectroscopy, UV-vis, spectrofluorimetry, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, Vis-NIR spectrelectrochemistry and optical microscopy. In recent years, she focused her research activity on the study, realization and characterization of single-layer devices to be applied in electrochromism and electro-fluorochromism.
