Electrotreated Carbon Nanotube Membranes for Facile Oil–Water Separations

Oil-contaminated effluents are widespread, yet purifying them of finely dispersed residual oil presents a significant challenge. Here we report on reactively spun carbon nanotube (CNT) mats, whose high electric conductivity is employed to irreversibly render them highly hydrophilic through electrooxidation (EO), while retaining the morphology, mesh size, conductivity, and mechanical strength of the pristine CNT material. EO treatment converts natively hydrophobic CNT mats to efficient filtration membranes, whose 30 nm mesh size favorably compromises between the hydraulic permeability and oil breakthrough pressure and allows complete and robust removal of dispersed oil (including surfactant-stabilized) down to its solubility in water

Ambipolar blend-based organic electrochemical transistors and inverters

CMOS-like circuits in bioelectronics translate biological to electronic signals using organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) based on organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors (OMIECs). Ambipolar OECTs can reduce the complexity of circuit fabrication, and in bioelectronics have the major advantage of detecting both cations and anions in one device, which further expands the prospects for diagnosis and sensing. Ambipolar OMIECs however, are scarce, limited by intricate materials design and complex synthesis. Here we demonstrate that judicious selection of p- and n-type materials for blend based OMIECs offers a simple and tunable approach for the fabrication of ambipolar OECTs and corresponding circuits. These OECTs show high transconductance and excellent stability over multiple alternating polarity cycles, with ON/OFF ratios exceeding 103 and high gains in corresponding inverters. This work presents a simple and versatile new paradigm for the fabrication of ambipolar OMIECs and circuits with little constraints on materials design and synthesis and numerous possibilities for tunability and optimization towards higher performing bioelectronic applications
