© 2020 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC Developing photocatalysts with superior efficiency and selectivity is an important issue for photocatalytic converting CO2. Hierarchically heterostructured one-dimensional nanomaterials represent a kind of promising catalysts for photocatalytic CO2 reduction on account of the high surface area and synthetic effect between different components. Herein, we synthesized UIO-66-NH2/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) heterostructures via a hydrothermal method, and investigated their photocatalytic performance. The element mapping, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy collectively confirmed that the UIO-66-NH2 was successfully loaded on the surface of the CNTs. The specific surface area of the UIO-66-NH2/CNTs is 1.5 times higher than that …


Fabrication Of Aligned Biomimetic Gellan Gum-Chitosan Microstructures Through 3d Printed Microfluidic Channels And Multiple In Situ Cross-Linking Mechanisms, Thomas Robinson, Sepehr Talebian, Javad Foroughi, Zhilian Yue, Cormac Fay, Gordon G. Wallace Jan 2020

In this study we use a combination of ionic- and photo-cross-linking to develop a fabrication method for producing biocompatible microstructures using a methacrylated gellan gum (a polyanion) and chitosan (a polycation) in addition to lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) as the photoinitiator. This work involves the development of a low-cost, portable 3D bioprinter and a customized extrusion mechanism for controlled introduction of the materials through a 3D printed microfluidic nozzle, before being cross-linked in situ to form robust microstructure bundles. The formed microstructures yielded a diameter of less than 1 μm and a tensile strength range of ∼1 MPa. This study is …
