In this study, we synthesized an amidoximated polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane (P-Oxime). Subsequently, we grafted reactive green 19 (RG19) dye onto its surface, resulting in the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane. Further enhancement was achieved by physically attaching poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (phMB) to the P-Oxime-RG19 membrane, leading to the formation of the P-Oxime-RG19-phMB membrane. Extensive characterization of the nanofiber membranes was conducted, focusing on crucial physical and mechanical properties such as functional group content, morphology, and thermostability. The optimization of various modification conditions, including initial dye andphMB concentrations, duration, temperature, and nitrile group conversion to oxime concentrations, played a pivotal role in achieving superior antibacterial performance in P-Oxime-RG19-phMB nanofiber membranes. In-depth analyses involved the application of kinetic and equilibrium thermodynamic models to unravel the modification processes of RG19 dye andphMB in the nanofiber membranes. Under the carefully tuned optimal modification conditions, the P-Oxime-RG19-phMB nanofiber membrane exhibited remarkable antibacterial efficacy, achieving nearly 100% disinfection of E. coli . In addition to exploring its antimicrobial capabilities, we thoroughly examined the repeatability and biocompatibility of the nanofiber membranes. The results indicated not only the P-Oxime-RG19-phMB nanofiber membrane was a highly promising antibacterial material but also highlighted its potential for diverse applications, particularly in food and textile fabrication, owing to its exceptional performance and suitability.

In this study, Nickel@Copper (Ni@Cu) bimetallic electrodes were fabricated via electrodeposition to assess their efficacy in electrochemical nitrate reduction (ENR). The Ni@Cu 3 m electrodes achieved a remarkable nitrate (NO 3 − ) reduction efficiency of 96.09 % and nitrogen selectivity of 96.08 % at a current density of 1.36 mA/cm² over an 8-hour reaction period. Extensive characterization techniques, including TEM, XPS, and XRd, were employed to analyze the structural and morphological features of the electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry was used to examine electron transfer interactions between surface nitrogen (N 2 ) species and copper foam electrodes, nitrate (NO 3 − ) reduction commenced within a potential range of −0.8 V to 0.1 V. The Ni loading on copper foam was optimized to enhance catalytic performance, and the effect of different ph levels on activity was systematically studied. The Ni@Cu 3 m electrodes demonstrated excellent long-term stability over 10 cycles, maintaining high efficiency and selectivity over multiple cycles. These results highlight the strong potential of bimetallic electrodes as efficient and reliable candidates for NO 3 − reduction in wastewater treatment applications.

To develop the environmental antibacterial membrane, the physical attachments of poly (hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride (phMB) on the cellulose acetate (CA) and regenerated cellulose (RC) electrospun nanofiber membranes were employed. The immobilization of phMB increased the antibacterial efficacy ( AE , %) of nanofiber membranes from 65.67% to approximately 86.13% for CA-phMB and from 35.09% to approximately 100% for RC-phMB. The results of the chemical andphysical characteristics indicate that the degree of deacetylation of CA nanofiber, the surface charge of the nanofiber, and the density of phMB immobilized onto the nanofiber primarily affect the antibacterial efficacy. The use of mathematical models, such as the Temkin equilibrium model for phMB immobilization and the Monod-type model for the relationship between antibacterial activity and immobilization density of phMB provides a deeper understanding of the interactions and kinetics involved. The rapid achievement of ∼100% AE after only 10 min of contact with Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) is a notable finding, indicating the quick and efficient antibacterial action of RC-phMB nanofiber membranes. Furthermore, maintaining approximately 100% AE after 20 days of storage underscores the long-term stability of phMB immobilized on RC nanofiber membranes. The findings suggest that RC-phMB holds great promise as an antibacterial material for biomedical applications, food packaging industries, and filtration or treatment of water.
