Abstract
The most vital issues of the modern world for a sustainable future are "health" and "the environment." Scientific endeavors to tackle these two major concerns for mankind need serious attention. The photocatalytic activity toward curbing environmental pollution and antibacterial performance toward a healthy society are two directions that have been emphasized for decades. Recently, materials engineering, in their nanodimension, has shown tremendous possibilities to integrate these functionalities within the same materials. In particular, hybrid nanostructures have shown magnificent prospects to combat both crucial challenges. Many researchers are separately engaged in this important field of research but the collective knowledge on this domain which can facilitate them to excel is badly missing. The present article integrates the development of different hybrid nanostructures which exhibit both photocatalytic degradations of environmental pollutants and antibacterial efficiency. Various synthesis techniques of those hybrid nanomaterials have been discussed. Hybrid nanosystems based on several successful materials have been categorically discussed for better insight into the research advancement in this direction. In particular, Ag-based, metal oxides-based, layered carbon material-based, and Mexene- and self-cleaning-based materials have been chosen for detailing their performance as anti-pollutant and antibacterial materials. Those hybrid systems along with some miscellaneous booming nanostructured materials have been discussed comprehensively with their success and limitations toward their bifunctionality as antipollutant and antibacterial agents.

Abstract
With the development of science and technology, photocatalytic technology is of great interest. Nanosized photocatalysts are easy to agglomerate in an aqueous solution, which is unfavorable for recycling. Therefore, hydrogel-based photocatalytic composites were born. Compared with other photocatalytic carriers, hydrogels have a three-dimensional network structure, high water absorption, and a controllable shape. Meanwhile, the high permeability of these composites is an effective way to promote photocatalysis technology by inhibiting nanoparticle photo corrosion, while significantly ensuring the catalytic activity of the photocatalysts. With the growing energy crisis and limited reserves of traditional energy sources such as oil, the attention of researchers was drawn to natural polymers. Like almost all abundant natural polymer compounds in the world, cellulose has the advantages of non-toxicity, degradability, and biocompatibility. It is used as a class of reproducible crude material for the preparation of hydrogel photocatalytic composites. The network structure and high hydroxyl active sites of cellulose-based hydrogels improve the adsorption performance of catalysts and avoid nanoparticle collisions, indirectly enhancing their photocatalytic performance. In this paper, we sum up the current research progress of cellulose-based hydrogels. After briefly discussing the properties and preparation methods of cellulose and its descendant hydrogels, we explore the effects of hydrogels on photocatalytic properties. Next, the cellulose-based hydrogel photocatalytic composites are classified according to the type of catalyst, and the research progress in different fields is reviewed. Finally, the challenges they will face are summarized, and the development trends are prospected.

Abstract
The efficiency and reusability of photocatalysts are the dominant factors for their pragmatic use. The visible light induced semiconductor silver phosphate is a superior photocatalyst effective under visible light but its stability is still an undiscussed issue. To overcome this stability issue in this present manuscript, eco-friendly agro-waste extracted cellulose supported silver phosphate nanostructures have been designed for the first time through a simple chemical process. At first, silver phosphate nanostructures were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. Then, different weights of cellulose were added to the silver nitrate solution to form cellulose supported silver phosphate nanostructures. The photodegradation efficiency for each weight ratio was examined in which the photocatalyst Ag-8 nanostructures showed a high rate (0.024 min-1) for degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) using a low intensity tungsten bulb. Real sample analysis has also been carried out using this photocatalyst for the degradation of industrial fertilizer effluents. The degradation rate of all the nanostructures was found to be high in comparison to pristine silver phosphate as well as the extracted bare cellulose. The photocatalytic activity is enhanced because of the participation of cellulose as a support which makes an interface for silver phosphate and assists it in delaying the charge recombination period under visible light. To understand the photochemical reaction of electrons and holes, scavenger studies were also performed.

Porous Layered Double Hydroxide/TiO2 Photocatalysts for the Photocatalytic Degradation of Orange II. CHEMENGINEERING 2020.

Abstract
Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH)/TiO2 nanocomposites with photocatalytic properties were synthesized by both impregnation and the direct coprecipitation of LDH matrices using a colloidal suspension of TiO2 nanoparticles. While the two methods led to an efficient TiO2 nanoparticle immobilization, the direct coprecipitation allowed us to tune the amount of immobilized TiO2 within the materials. The LDH/TiO2 nanocomposites obtained were deeply characterized by chemical analysis (ICP-AES), Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transformed Infra-Red (FTIR), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM). Clearly, the immobilization of TiO2 by direct coprecipitation promoted a modification of the textural properties and a net increase in the surface area. The crystallized TiO2 nanoparticles can be distinctly visualized by HRTEM at the surface of the layered material. Several parameters, such as the nature of the chemical composition of LDH (ZnAl and MgAl), the method of immobilization and the amount of TiO2, were shown to play a crucial role in the physicochemical and photocatalytic properties of the nanocomposites. The photocatalytic efficiency of the different LDH/TiO2 nanocomposites was investigated using the photodegradation of a model pollutant, the Orange II (OII), and was compared to a pure TiO2 colloidal solution. The degradation tests revealed that the nanocomposite obtained from MgAl LDH at a low MgAl LDH/TiO2 ratio was the most efficient for the photodegradation of OII leading to complete mineralization in 48 h.

Abstract
A cellulose-cadmium (Cd)-tellurium (TE) quantum dots (QDs) composite film was successfully synthesized by incorporating CdTe QDs onto a cellulose matrix derived from waste cotton linters. Cellulose-CdTe QDs composite film was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antibacterial activity of the prepared composite film was investigated using the multidrug-resistance (MTR) Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. In vitro antibacterial assays demonstrated that CdTe QDs composite film can efficiently inhibit biofilm formation. Our results showed that the cellulose-CdTe QDs composite film is a promising candidate for biomedical applications including wound dressing, medical instruments, burn treatments, implants, and other biotechnology fields.

Abstract
Cellulose is a natural polymer that is widely used in daily life, but it is susceptible to microorganism growth. In this study, a simple sol⁻gel technique was utilized to incorporate the cellulose scaffold with Ag/TiO₂ nanoparticles. The morphology and crystal structure of the as-prepared Ag/TiO₂/cellulose composite film were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Antibacterial tests involving the use of Escherichia coli (E. coli) were carried out under dark and UV-light conditions to evaluate the efficiency of the Ag/TiO₂/cellulose composite film in comparison with pristine cellulose paper and TiO₂/cellulose composite film. The results indicated that the antibacterial activity of the Ag/TiO₂/cellulose composite film outperformed all other samples, where the Ag content of 0.030 wt% could inhibit more than 99% of E. coli. This study suggests that finely dispersed nanocale Ag/TiO₂ particles in the cellulose scaffold were effective at slowing down bacterial growth, and the mechanisms of this are also discussed.

Abstract
Biomass is known to efficiently adsorb pollutants from wastewater. In this paper, we demonstrated that a new antistatic oil-cleaning material can be prepared and assembled by using two surfactants, alkyl polyglucosides (APG) and dimethyl octadecyl hydroxy ethyl ammonium nitrate (SN), to modify calcined mussel shell powder (CMSP) through a two-step hydrotherm-assisted adsorption. The pore size and structure of CMSP was measured by BET and a contact angle meter was used to characterize the surface wetting ability. XRD, FTIR, XPS, SEM, TEM, and HRTEM were employed to determine the surface structure of CMSP modified by surfactants APG and SN (MMO). In order to further characterize properties of the surface morphology and crystal structure, the HRTEM was employed to show that the MMO surface had a single crystal structure: calcite, with a crystal plane spacing of 0.2467 nm. The surface of MMO appeared to be fluffy and disperse. The antistatic and degreasing ability of as-prepared samples (MMO) was evaluated by a ZC-36 high resistance meter and BD-457 whiteness meter. The results showed that when the calcination temperature of CMSP reached 1000 °C, and the addition amount of APG and SN was 0.8 g and 0.16 g, it had an optimum antistatic effect with a surface resistivity (Rs) of 1.35 × 10⁸ Ω, and a detergency rate to oil of 17.35%. This study aims to embrace a green solution to reduce environmental pressure and make use of waste, which is of great significance to environmental protection.

Abstract
In this study, ordered mesoporous In2O3-CeO2/TiO2 aerogel composite material is fabricated via a sol-gel method. According to the preparation process of the aerogel, different weight percentages Ce(NO3)3 and In(NO3)3 are dissolved in the solvent, which would be completely dispersed in the porous gel when the system completely becomes gel. The prepared materials are used to degrade the Rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation. 0.2 wt% In2O3-0.2 wt% CeO2/TiO2 (In0.2-Ce0.2/TiO2) sample has the highest degradation rate which reaches to 96.20%. When degradation time is continuously increased to 110 min, the degradation efficiency of In0.2-Ce0.2/TiO2 sample is basically retained. The prepared In0.2-Ce0.2/TiO2 sample has much better stability and reproducibility under visible light irradiation, the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of In0.2-Ce0.2/TiO2 sample is still stable at more than 90% after the five times cycle.

Abstract
Flexible organic fabrics coated with titania find wide applications in pollutant degradations and antibiosis. Because of the enhanced charge separations, TiO2 with one-dimensional nanostructures exhibits photocatalytic activity superior to that of nanoparticulate films; however, only the later has been achieved on organic substrates through commonly sol-gel techniques till now. In this study, radially aligned TiO2 nanowires were precipitated on polyester fabrics through multi-steps of surface roughening, sol-gel TiO2 seeding, hydrogen titanate nanobelts precipitation, and finally sulfuric acid treatment. Both mesoporous anatase TiO2 nanowires and single-crystalline rutile TiO2 nanorods have been achieved, which, together with some unchanged titanate nanobelts, exhibited an overall narrowed band gap of ca. 2.50eV. The TiO2 nanowires on flexible PET fabrics showed higher photocatalytic activity towards degradations of not only rhodamine B in water but also toluene gas in air under UV light illumination, when compared with either TiO2 nanotube array or commercial Degussa P25 nanoparticulate films on metallic Ti substrates. Remarkable sterilization of E. coli and S. epidermidis under visible light irradiation was also achieved. The excellent photocatalytic and antibacterial performances were attributed to the unique mixed 1D nanostructures, phase junctions, abundant surface hydroxyl groups, and the narrowed band gap.

Abstract
Surface self-assembly of functional molecules or nanoscale building blocks is an effective strategy for the syntheses of advanced materials. Natural cellulose-rich substances have unique macro-to-nano hierarchical structural features. The fabrication of nanoarchitectures, employing specific guest species on the surfaces of the fine structures of such substances, results in corresponding artificial nanomaterials that possess the chemical functionalities and physical properties of both sides. Metal oxide thin film coatings with nanometer precision on the nanofibers of bulk cellulose-rich substances not only yield replicas of nanostructured materials, but also make it possible for further assemblies of functional units on the surfaces. Hence, nanostructured metal oxides and further composites, as well as surface-functionalized cellulose-based composites are fabricated by employing cellulose-rich substances as templates or scaffolds. The three-dimensional cross-linked porous structures, with the high surface area of the resultant nanomaterials or composites, lead to superior performance when employed as photocatalysts, electrode materials, and sensing matrices, on which this report is focused.

Abstract
Taking advantage of the self-assembly between the components, novel stable antibacterial nanoparticles were efficiently fabricated via a facile one-step co-polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) on a mixed aqueous solution of poly(hexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride) (PHMG) and hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). The z-average hydrodynamic diameters of the nanoparticles ranged from 220 nm to 450 nm. The inner layer of the nanoparticles is composed of water-insoluble interpolymer complexes of PHMG and PAA networks, while the outer layer is composed of PHMG and HEC. The nanoparticles are stabilized by electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding interactions, and the chemical bonds. The nanoparticle solution remained stable in a wide pH range of 2.0-12.0 and at salt concentrations below 0.25 mol/L. The nanoparticles were incorporated into handsheets using a dipping treatment. The resulted handsheets exhibited excellent antimicrobial activities even after multiple water washing treatments. The nanoparticles are promising in fabricating paper, water-based coatings and textiles with permanent antibacterial activity.
