T1 - Knowledge Infrastructure supporting image-based characterisation of 2D graphene materials N2 - As part of the European Horizon ACCORDs project, advanced methods are being developed for the image-based characterisation of 2D nanomaterials. Given the complexity of this task, robust nd wellorganised data management is critical to ensuring high-quality outcomes. To support this, we have established a knowledge infrastructure that serves as the central repository for protocols, images and experimental data which are stored in a standardised, harmonised manner and in accordance with the FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable and open science. This machine-readable framework enables the systematic and computationally automated correlation of image features with experimental descriptors, facilitating accurate material characterisation and transparent reporting which is all integrated in the ACCORDs KI.

A1 - Panne, Ulrich T1 - Tannic acid- and natural organic matter-coated magnetite as green Fenton-like catalysts for the removal of water pollutants N2 - The use of magnetic materials as heterogeneous catalysts has attracted increasing attention in the last years since they proved to be promising candidates for water treatment. In the present study, two types of surface-modified magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, coated with non-hazardous naturally occurring agents—either tannic acid (TA) or dissolved natural organic matter—were evaluated as magnetic heterogeneous catalysts. Chemical synthesis (co-precipitation) was chosen to yield the nanocatalysts due to its well-established simplicity and efficiency. Subsequently, the properties of the final products were fully assessed by various characterization techniques. The catalytic activity in heterogeneous oxidation of aqueous solutions containing a model pollutant, Bisphenol A (BPA), was comparatively studied. The effect of operational parameters (catalyst loading, H2O2 dosage, and UV light irradiation) on the Degradation performance of the oxidation process was investigated. The optimum experimental parameters were found to be 1.0 g/L of catalysts and 10 mM H2O2, under UV irradiation. The highest mineralization rates were observed for Fe3O4-TA catalyst. More than 80 % of BPA was removed after 30 min of reaction time under the specified experimental conditions. The obtained results showed that the two catalysts studied here are suitable candidates for the removal of pollutants in wastewaters by means of heterogeneous reaction using a green sustainable treatment method.

T1 - Data management for image-based characterisation of 2D nano-materials N2 - The ACCORDs project, funded through Horizon Europe, is pioneering a novel approach to investigate Graphene Family Materials (GFMs) through image analysis. Our aim is to unveil how these materials might influence health and the environment. To achieve this, we are developing a platform designed for the easy retrieval, access, sharing, and utilisation of GFM data and the coordination between biological and physico-chemical data formats. Integral to this platform is an OMERO-based library for image storage, alongside data collection forms and image analysis tools. Efforts are underway to streamline the process for researchers to upload and disseminate their findings, manage information within a database and navigate the data with ease. Adhering to REMBI guidelines, which set the standard for annotating biological images with metadata, we ensure our data collection is comprehensive and adheres to established best practices. Initially, we are employing thresholding and basic machine learning techniques for image segmentation, laying the groundwork for advanced analysis through deep learning to gain more profound insights. Upon completion, the project will deliver a comprehensive platform facilitating efficient data and image management concerning GFMs. This platform will enable the straightforward discovery and use of protocols and results, all organised in accordance with the FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. This initiative is poised to significantly impact materials science, enhancing our comprehension of the safety and environmental implications of 2D materials.

The catalysts were fully characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), electrospray ionisation–mass spectrometry (ESI–MS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms (BET). Additionally, the formation of photo-sensitized oxygen was investigated by spin-trapping using electron spin resonance (ESR). The catalytic activity in heterogeneous oxidation of the micropollutant (CBZ) was also evaluated. The effects of catalyst loading, pH, H2O2 dosage and UV light on the oxidation of the selected compound were investigated. After 15 min of UVA irradiation in the presence of 200 μM H2O2, CBZ was completely removed over both catalysts.
