In the present work, a series of nanohybrids based on UiO-66 as a physicochemical stable metal-organic framework (MOF) and different amounts of thermally oxidized nanodiamond (OND) (0.5–10 wt%) were synthesized and used as adsorbents for anionic (methyl red, MR, and methyl orange, MO) and cationic (malachite green, MG, and methylene blue, MB) dyes from contaminated water in single and binary dye solutions. The single adsorbents and their nanohybrids were characterized by FESEM, FTIR, XRD,TGA, BET, and zeta potential measurements. The experimental adsorption results displayed that the synthesized nanohybrids presented higher adsorption capacity for anionic dyes compared to cationic dyes in... 

In this study, nano-sized diamond particles (ND) were functionalized in two consecutive stages. First, dry thermal oxidation was employed to obtain carboxylated ND. In the next step, carboxylated ND was properly surface modified through wet chemistry to acquire aminated-ND (ND-NH2). Then, polyaniline (PANI) was synthesized in the presence of aminated-ND particles at a broad concentration from 1 wt% to 70 wt% to obtain PANI/ND hybrid nanostructures. The chemical structure, morphology, and thermal stability of nanoparticles were comprehensively characterized by different techniques such as FT-IR, UV–visible, TGA, XRD, FESEM, and TEM. It was observed that the morphology of PANI/ND...
