Abstract This study examined the effect of polyphosphate on removal of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) such as nonylphenol and bisphenol-A by activated carbons. It was found that polyphosphate aided in the removal of nonylphenol and bisphenol- A. Polyphosphate reacted with nonylphenol, likely through dipole-dipole interaction, which then improved the nonylphenol removal. Calcium interfered with this reaction by causing competition. It was found that polyphosphate could accumulate on carbon while treating a river. The accumulated polyphosphate then aided nonylphenol removal. The extent of accumulation was dependent on the type of carbon. The accumulation occurred more extensively with the wood-based used carbon than with the coal-based used carbon due to the surface charge of the carbon. The negatively charged wood-based carbon attracted the positively charged calcium-polyphosphate complex more strongly than the uncharged coal-based carbon. The polyphosphate-coated activated carbon was also effective in nonylphenol removal. The effect was different depending on the type of carbon. Polyphosphate readily attached onto the wood-based carbon due to its high affinity for polyphosphate. The attached polyphosphate then improved the nonylphenol removal. However, the coating failed to attach polyphosphate onto the coal-based carbon. The nonylphenol removal performance of the coal-based carbon remained unchanged after the polyphosphate coating.

ABSTRACTFirst-principles calculations were employed to investigate the adsorption-induced surface stress of self-assembled alkanethiolate monolayers on a Au(111) surface as a function of the alkyl chain length. A recently developed fully nonlocal van der Waals density functional was used to accurately account for the chain-chain interactions. We found that surface charge redistribution produces compressive surface stress, while chain-chain interactions produce tensile surface stress. The stress induced by surface charge redistribution is about one order of magnitude greater than that of chain-chain interactions. We observed that the chain-chain interactions play an important role in determining the molecular configuration during adsorptions, and also contribute significantly to the induced anisotropic tensile (positive) surface stress. As the chain length increases the tensile stress increases at a rate of ∼ 0.32 (∼ 0.18) N/m for the direction perpendicular (parallel) to the chain tilt direction.

Abstract Gallium oxide β-Ga2O3 is an important wide-band gap semiconductor. In this study, we have calculated the formation energy and transition levels of oxygen vacancies in β-Ga2O3 crystal using the B3LYP hybrid exchange-correlation functional within the LCAO-DFT approach. The obtained electronic charge redistribution in perfect Ga2O3 shows notable covalency of the Ga-O bonds. The formation of the neutral oxygen vacancy in β-Ga2O3 leads to the presence of deep donor defects with quite low concentration. This is a clear reason why oxygen vacancies can be hardly responsible for n-type conductivity in β-Ga2O3.

We review the way to fabricate large-scale, high-quality and single crystalline graphene epitaxially grown on Ru(0001) substrate. A moiré pattern of the graphene/Ru(0001) is formed due to the lattice mismatch between graphene and Ru(0001). This superstructure gives rise to surface charge redistribution and could behave as an ordered quantum dot array, which results in a perfect template to guide the assembly of organic molecular structures. Molecules, for example iron phthalocyanine and C 60 , on this template show how the molecule–substrate interaction makes different superstructures. These results show the possibility of constructing ordered molecular structures on graphene/Ru(0001), which is helpful for practical applications in the future.
