Saltpeter negatively affects the human body, it contributes to the formation of a dangerous substance in the blood – methemoglobin, which leads to oxygen starvation. An increase in methemoglobin up to 60% leads to a fatal outcome. Also, the excess of saltpeter in water causes poisoning, disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, excretory and endocrine systems, the destruction of tooth enamel and the appearance of caries. Saltpeter can be determined in water by chemical analysis of the liquid, as well as using nanomaterials. These structures have a sufficiently highly developed adsorption surface, this property helps to detect the presence of saltpeter in water, and at the same time to clean it. The results of the studies made it possible to establish that after passing water with an admixture of saltpeter, the concentration of the latter decreased. Thus, the theoretical calculations showing the possibility of saltpeter adsorption by carbon nanotubes were confirmed. The obtained results and the applied methods can be used in conducting complex high-performance water examinations.

AbstractSoft electronic devices that are bendable and stretchable require stretchable electric or electronic components. Nanostructured conducting materials or soft conducting polymers are one of the most promising fillers to achieve high performance and durability. Here, we report silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) embedded with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) synthesized in aqueous solutions at room temperature, using NaBH4 as a reducing agent in the presence of highly oxidized SWCNTs as efficient nucleation agents. Elastic composite films composed of the AgNPs-embedded SWCNTs, Ag flake, and polydimethylsiloxane are irradiated with radiation from a Xenon flash lamp within a time interval of one second for efficient sintering of conductive fillers. Under high irradiation energy, the stretchable electrodes are created with a maximum conductivity of 4,907 S cm−1 and a highly stretchable stability of over 10,000 cycles under a 20% strain. Moreover, under a low irradiation energy, strain sensors with a gauge factor of 76 under a 20% strain and 5.4 under a 5% strain are fabricated. For practical demonstration, the fabricated stretchable electrode and strain sensor are attached to a human finger for detecting the motions of the finger.
