Dicaesium octaiodide is composed of layers of zigzag polyiodide units (I8 2−) intercalated with caesium cations. Each I8 2− unit is built of two triiodides bridged with one diiodine molecules. This system was subjected to compression up to 5.9 GPa under hydrostatic conditions. Pressure alters the supramolecular architecture around I8 2−, leading to bending of the triiodide units away from their energetically preferred geometry (D ∞h). Short I2...I3 − contacts compress significantly, reaching lengths typical for the covalently bonded polyiodides. Unlike in reported structures at ambient conditions, pressure-induced catenation proceeds without symmetrization of the polyiodides, pointing to a different electron-transfer mechanism. The structure is shown to be half as compressible [B0 = 12.9 (4) GPa] than the similar CsI3 structure. The high bulk modulus is associated with higher I—I connectivity and a more compact cationic net, than in CsI3. The small discontinuity in the compressibility trend around 3 GPa suggests formation of more covalent I—I bonds. The potential sources of this discontinuity and its implication on the electronic properties of Cs2I8 are discussed.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based filters have a prospective advantage compared to the commercial filters due to their lightweight and ability to work without electricity or heat. The manganese (Mn) removal from aqueous solutions by oxidized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (O-MWCNTs) was investigated. The filtration performance was studied under ambient conditions: the solution pH, the initial manganese concentration, and the MWCNT-filter mass. The samples of MWCNT-filters were investigated using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and rutherford backscatter spectrometry (RBS) to account for the manganese content within the MWCNT-filter. These techniques were conducted to study the oxidation effect on the morphology of MWCNTs and evaluate the oxygen functional groups and the average diameter distribution. Based on these examinations, the competence of Mn removal may exceed 91% for 50 ppm initial concentration of Mn, proposing that functionalized MWCNTs is a promising filter. The Mn removal was achieved at low pH with removal enhancement at the pH of 2. Functionalized MWCNTs based filters are promising candidate for heavy metal ions removal from industrial wastewater.

In the present study, a glucose oxidase (GluOx) direct electron transfer was realized on an aminated polyethylene glycol (mPEG), carboxylic acid functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (fMWCNTs), and ionic liquid (IL) composite functional polymer modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE). The amino groups in PEG, carboxyl groups in multi-walled carbon nanotubes, and IL may have a better synergistic effect, thus more effectively adjust the hydrophobicity, stability, conductivity, and biocompatibility of the composite functional polymer film. The composite polymer membranes were characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer, fluorescence spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. In 50 mM, pH 7.0 phosphate buffer solution, the formal potential and heterogeneous electron transfer constant (ks) of GluOx on the composite functional polymer modified GCE were −0.27 V and 6.5 s−1, respectively. The modified electrode could recognize and detect glucose linearly in the range of 20 to 950 μM with a detection limit of 0.2 μM. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (Kmapp) of the modified electrode was 143 μM. The IL/mPEG-fMWCNTs functional polymer could preserve the conformational structure and catalytic activity of GluOx and lead to high sensitivity, stability, and selectivity of the biosensors for glucose recognition and detection.
