Abstract
The removal of pollutants from water bodies is crucial for the well-being of humanity and is a topic of global research. Researchers have turned their attention to green synthesized nanoparticles for wastewater treatment due to their eco-friendly nature, biocompatibility, and cost-effectiveness. This work demonstrates the efficient removal of organic dye and both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria from water bodies using copper-doped cerium oxide nanoparticles synthesized withMurraya Koenigiiextract. Characterized via various methods, the 15% copper doped cerium oxide nanoparticles (Cu 15% NPs) exhibited maximum Congo red dye adsorption (98% degradation in 35 min). Kinetic analysis favoured a pseudo-second-order model, indicating the chemical nature of adsorption. Equilibrium adsorption isotherms aligned with the Langmuir model, indicating homogenous monolayer dye adsorption on the doped adsorbent. The maximum uptake of adsorbate,Qmobtained from Langmuir model for Cu 15% NPs was 193 mg g-1. The study also showed enhanced antibacterial activity againstBacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coliandPseudomonas aeruginosafor Cu-doped ceria, attributed to generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by the redox cycling between Ce3+and Ce4+. This substantiated that the green synthesized copper doped cerium oxide nanoparticles are potential candidates for adsorptive removal of Congo red dye and as antibacterial agents.

Ultrasmall nitrogen-doped Cu 0·92Co 2·08O 4 nanocrystal-decorated cerium dioxide nanoparticles for fast and complete degradation of ranitidine via permonosulfate activation. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 327:138527. [PMID: 37003436 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.138527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 03/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
A simple and efficient coagulation method was used for the rapid preparation of nitrogen-doped copper-cobalt oxide (N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4) supported on cerium dioxide (CeO2), that is, N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2. A low concentration of N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 (0.15 g L-1) was shown to rapidly activate permonosulfate (PMS) (0.15 g L-1) to achieve 100% degradation of ranitidine within 10 min. A 100% degradation of ranitidine enabled by the catalyst was achieved over a wide range of pH (5.5-9.0), which could be completed within 8 min in the presence of anionic H2PO4-. Moreover, the N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 catalyst enabled more than 90% degradation of various typical antibiotics within 30 min, including tetracycline, sulfaixoxazole, and chloramphenicol, with degradation rates of 100%, 93.51%, and 90.01%, respectively. Even after four catalytic cycles, N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 could be regenerated to achieve 100% degradation of ranitidine. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated that the combination of N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 and PMS immediately produced a strong current density, thereby rapidly producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with high performance for the degradation of the target pollutant. Combined ion quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses indicated that the main ROS was the non-free radical 1O2. Finally, a plausible ranitidine degradation pathway was deduced based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, wherein the toxic substance N-nitrosodimethylamine was not produced during the degradation process. In short, this study provides a new perspective for preparing ternary metal catalysts for advanced oxidation processes with practical application significance.

Abstract
Catalysis is an indispensable part of our society, massively involved in numerous energy and environmental applications. Although, noble metals (NMs)-based catalysts are routinely employed in catalysis, their limited resources and high cost hinder the widespread practical application. In this regard, the development of NMs-free metal oxides (MOs) with improved catalytic activity, selectivity and durability is currently one of the main research pillars in the area of heterogeneous catalysis. The present review, involving our recent efforts in the field, aims to provide the latest advances—mainly in the last 10 years—on the rational design of MOs, i.e., the general optimization framework followed to fine-tune non-precious metal oxide sites and their surrounding environment by means of appropriate synthetic and promotional/modification routes, exemplified by CuOx/CeO2 binary system. The fine-tuning of size, shape and electronic/chemical state (e.g., through advanced synthetic routes, special pretreatment protocols, alkali promotion, chemical/structural modification by reduced graphene oxide (rGO)) can exert a profound influence not only to the reactivity of metal sites in its own right, but also to metal-support interfacial activity, offering highly active and stable materials for real-life energy and environmental applications. The main implications of size-, shape- and electronic/chemical-adjustment on the catalytic performance of CuOx/CeO2 binary system during some of the most relevant applications in heterogeneous catalysis, such as CO oxidation, N2O decomposition, preferential oxidation of CO (CO-PROX), water gas shift reaction (WGSR), and CO2 hydrogenation to value-added products, are thoroughly discussed. It is clearly revealed that the rational design and tailoring of NMs-free metal oxides can lead to extremely active composites, with comparable or even superior reactivity than that of NMs-based catalysts. The obtained conclusions could provide rationales and design principles towards the development of cost-effective, highly active NMs-free MOs, paving also the way for the decrease of noble metals content in NMs-based catalysts.
