Abstract
The uncontrolled release of nitrophenol and dye pollutants into water systems is an increasingly serious worldwide concern, and thus efficient wastewater treatment technologies are urgently needed. Herein we report a novel two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and/or nitrides (Ti3C2Tx MXene) membrane modified with silver nanowires (AgNWs) by vacuum assisted filtration technology for the ultrafast nitrophenol catalysis and water purification applications. Regular and controllable membrane transport channels were constructed by stacking Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets. Furthermore, the intercalation of AgNWs into the Ti3C2Tx MXene interlayer greatly enlarged the interlayer spacing, resulting in more gaps for fast and selective molecular transport. The optimized Ti3C2Tx MXene@AgNWs (M@A) membrane exhibited a water flux up to ∼191.9 L/(m2 h) while maintaining a high bovine serum albumin (BSA) rejection of ∼95.4%. We emphatically used M@A membranes as efficient catalysts for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and the results indicated that M@A-12% membrane exhibited the greatest catalytic reduction ability, and recycling utilization. M@A-12% membrane also had an antibacterial rate of more than 99% against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). This work provides a possibility to expand the application of 2D multifunctional M@A membranes in wastewater treatment and pollutant catalytic degradation.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:785. [PMID: 36839153 PMCID: PMC9960385 DOI: 10.3390/nano13040785] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
p-nitrophenol (pNP) is a highly toxic organic compound and is considered carcinogenic and mutagenic. It is a very stable compound with high resistance to chemical or biological degradation. As a result, the elimination of this pollutant has been very challenging for many researchers. Catalytic reduction is one of the most promising techniques, if a suitable catalyst is developed. Thus, this work aims to prepare an eco-friendly catalyst via a simple and low-cost route and apply it for the conversion of the toxic p-nitrophenol (pNP) into a non-toxic p-aminophenol (pAP) that is widely used in industry. Manganese oxide was prepared in an environmentally friendly manner with the aid of Lawsonia inermis (henna) extract as a stabilizing and capping agent and loaded on the surface of 13X molecular sieve zeolite. The UV-Vis spectrum, EDS, and XRD patterns confirmed the formation of the pure MnO2 loaded on the zeolite crystalline network. The TGA analysis showed that the samples prepared by loading MnO2 on zeolite (Mn2Z, Mn3Z, and Mn4Z) lost more mass than pure MnO2 (Mn) or zeolite (Z), which is mainly moisture adsorbed on the surface. This indicates a better dispersion of MnO2 on the surface of zeolite compared to pure MnO2, and thus a higher number of active adsorption sites. SEM images and EDS confirmed the dispersion of the MnO2 on the surface of the zeolite. Results showed a very fast reduction rate, following the order Mn2Z > Mn3Z > Mn4Z > Mn > Z. With sample Mn2Z, 96% reduction of pNP was achieved in 9 min and 100% in 30 min. For Mn3Z, Mn4Z, and Mn, 98% reduction was achieved in 20 min and 100% in 30 min. Zeolite was the slowest, with only a 40% reduction in 30 min. Increasing the amount of zeolite in the synthesis mixture resulted in lower reduction efficiency. The kinetic study indicated that the reduction of p-nitrophenol on the surface of the prepared nanocomposite follows the pseudo-first-order model. The results show that the proposed nanocomposite is very effective and very promising to be commercially applied in water treatment, due to its low cost, simple synthesis procedure, and reusability.

Abstract
Uniformly dispersed Pd nanoparticles on certain supports exhibit exceptional catalytic performance toward various environmental applications. In this work, ultrafine Pd nanoparticles anchored on CeO2 nanorods were synthesized via an absorption-in situ reduction method. The activity of the CeO2/Pd nanocomposites was systematically investigated toward reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and organic dyes including methyl blue, rhodamine B, methyl orange, and Congo red. The results indicated that the CeO2/Pd nanocomposites with different weight ratios of Pd nanoparticles (10.23 wt%, 11.01 wt%, and 14.27 wt%) can almost completely reduce 4-NP with a rate constant of 3.31×10-1, 3.22×10-1, and 2.23×10-1 min-1. Besides, the 10.23 wt% CeO2/Pd nanocomposites exhibit remarkable enhanced catalytic activity toward reduction of organic dyes. The catalysts display ideal stability after being used for three times for the reduction of 4-NP. We believe that our strategy demonstrated here offers insights into the design and fabrication of novel Pd-based nanocomposites for various heterogeneous catalysis applications.

Abstract
The large amount of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) wastewater produced by the chemical industry has received increased concern over the growing risk of environmental pollution. The ability to catalyze the reduction of highly concentrated 4-NP wastewater is highly desirable for the practical treatment of industrial wastewater, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report Pd nanoparticle-decorated 3D-printed hierarchically porous TiO2 scaffolds (Pd/TiO2 scaffolds) for the efficient reduction of highly concentrated 4-NP wastewater (2 g·L-1, ∼14.38 mM). The millimeter-sized interconnected channels in the scaffolds are conducive to rapid mass and ion transportation; meanwhile, the abundant micrometer- and nanometer-sized pores on the surface of the scaffolds offer adequate anchoring sites for Pd nanoparticles. The turnover frequency of the hierarchically porous Pd/TiO2 scaffold (16 layers) is up to 2.69 min-1, which is 1063 times higher than that of the Pd/TiO2-bulk material with the same size (0.00253 min-1). Importantly, no obvious deactivation of the catalytic activity is observed even after 20 cycles of catalytic reduction of 4-NP, showing excellent catalytic stability and reusability. Our strategy of loading the nanostructured catalyst on 3D-printable hierarchically porous structures put forward a flexible and versatile approach for boosting the catalytic performance of the catalysts, including catalytic activity, stability, and reusability, which can help promote their practical application in industry.

Abstract
In this work, we report on the preparation of silver nanoparticles modified bismuth/bismuth vanadate (Bi°-BiVO4) catalyst with multi-active sites toward efficient reduction of aromatic nitrobenzene, aiming to tailor the synergistic effects of multi-active sites and specify the underlying catalytic mechanism. The as-prepared catalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is observed that Ag nanoparticles with diameter of ˜30 nm were anchored evenly on the surface of rod-shaped BiVO4, which offered multi-active sites to contact with the reactants effectively and transfer interfacial electron to 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) rapidly. The activity factor k of Ag/Bi°-BiVO4 for 4-NP reduction is estimated to ˜3933.4 min-1 g-1, which is much higher than that obtained from pristine BiVO4 catalyst, Bi° and noble metal Ag nanoparticles. According to the experimental results, the reaction mechanism and reaction path of 4-NP reduction for BiVO4, Bi and Ag were studied through the density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculation, which suggested that they exhibit synergistic catalytic effect in the reaction process. This work may provide a feasible foundation for the mechanism research of semiconductor reduction to 4-nitrophenol.

Abstract
The utilisation of sunlight as an abundant and renewable resource has motivated the development of sustainable photocatalysts that can collectively harvest visible light. However, the bottleneck in utilising the low energy photons has led to the discovery of plasmonic photocatalysts. The presence of noble metal on the plasmonic photocatalyst enables the harvesting of visible light through the unique characteristic features of the noble metal nanomaterials. Moreover, the formation of interfaces between noble metal particles and semiconductor materials further results in the formation of a Schottky junction. Thereby, the plasmonic characteristics have opened up a new direction in promoting an alternative path that can be of value to the society through sustainable development derived through energy available for all for diverse applications. We have comprehensively prepared this review to specifically focus on fundamental insights into plasmonic photocatalysts, various synthesis routes, together with their strengths and weaknesses, and the interaction of the plasmonic photocatalyst with pollutants as well as the role of active radical generation and identification. The review ends with a pinnacle insight into future perspectives regarding realistic applications of plasmonic photocatalysts.
