Abstract: The present invention provides for an ice-nucleating particle for cloud seeding and other applications, which can initiate ice nucleation at a temperature of−8° C. Further, the ice nucleation particle number increased continuously and rapidly with the reducing of temperature. The ice nucleating particle in the present invention is a nanostructured porous composite of 3-dimensional reduced graphene oxide and silica dioxide nanoparticles (PrGO-SN). The present invention also provides for a process for synthesizing the PrGO-SN.

Abstract: The present disclosure features a Janus composite having a hydrophobic nanoparticulate component and a 2- or 3-dimensional hydrophilic framework, and materials, systems, methods of making the Janus composite and methods of using the Janus composite for separating oil from an oil-in-water emulsion. For example, Janus composites with MoS2 nanospheres on/in a hydrophilic reduced graphene oxide (rGO) or cellulose acetate framework are provided.
