Assessment of the effective parameters for the enhancement of light-harvesting power in the photoelectrochemical microbial fuel cell. ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:3737-3750. [PMID: 37327312 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2227390] [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: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Photo-assisted microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) are novel bioelectrochemical systems that employ light to harvest bioelectricity and efficient contaminant reduction. In this study, the impact of different operational conditions on the electricity generation outputs in a photoelectrochemical double chamber configuration Microbial fuel cell using a highly useful photocathode are evaluated and their trends are compared with the photoreduction efficiency trends. As a photocathode, a binder-free photo electrode decorated with dispersed polyaniline nanofiber (PANI)-cadmium sulphide Quantum Dots (QDs) is prepared here to catalyse the chromium (VI) reduction reaction in a cathode chamber with an improvement in power generation performance. Bioelectricity generation is examined in various process conditions like photocathode materials, pH, initial concentration of catholyte, illumination intensity and time of illumination. Results show that, despite the harmful effect of the initial contaminant concentration on the reduction efficiency of the contaminant, this parameter exhibits a superior ability for improving the power generation efficiency in a Photo-MFC. Furthermore, the calculated power density under higher light irradiation intensity has experienced a significant increase, which is due to an increment in the number of photons produced and an increase in their chance of reaching the electrodes surface. On the other hand, additional results indicate that the power generation decreases with the rise of pH and has witnessed the same trend as the photoreduction efficiency.

Abstract
The urgent need for sustainable and efficient energy conversion technologies has propelled research into novel electrocatalysts for fuel cell applications. This study investigates a carbon paper (CP)-supported Ni2O3 catalyst for the electrocatalytic oxidation of ethanol. We utilized electrodeposition to uniformly deposit/dop Ni2O3 onto the CP, creating an effective electrocatalyst. Our approach allows the tailoring of the doping degree by adjusting the electrodeposition potential. The optimal doping degree, achieved at a medium deposition potential, results in an electrode with high intrinsic activity and a substantial electrochemically active surface area (ECSA), thereby enhancing its electrocatalytic activity. This catalyst efficiently facilitates the oxidation of ethanol to formic acid while maintaining good stability. The enhanced performance is attributed to the effective interface and interaction between Ni2O3 and CP. This work not only provides insights into the design of efficient Ni-based catalysts for ethanol oxidation but also paves the way for developing advanced materials for renewable energy conversion.

Abstract
The enhancement of carbon-supported components is a crucial factor in augmenting the interplay between carbon-supported and metal-active components in the utilization of catalysts for direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs). Here, we propose a strategy for designing a catalyst by modifying candle soot (CS) and loading nickel onto ordered carbon soot. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of the Ni nanoparticles content on the electrocatalytic performance of Ni-CS, ultimately leading to the identification of a maximum composition. The presence of an excessive quantity of nickel particles leads to a decrease in the number of active sites within the material, resulting in sluggishness of the electron transfer pathway. The electrocatalyst composed of nickel and carbon support, with a nickel content of 20 wt%, has demonstrated a noteworthy current activity of 18.43 mA/cm2, which is three times that of the electrocatalyst with a higher nickel content of 25 wt%. For example, the 20 wt% Ni-CS electrocatalytic activity was found to be good, and it was approximately four times higher than that of 20 wt% Ni-CB (nickel-carbon black). Moreover, the chronoamperometry (CA) test demonstrated a reduction in current activity of merely 65.80% for a 20 wt% Ni-CS electrocatalyst, indicating electrochemical stability. In addition, this demonstrates the great potential of candle soot with Ni nanoparticles to be used as a catalyst in practical applications.

Abstract
The presence of heavy metal ions and emerging pollutants in water poses a great risk to various biological ecosystems as a result of their high toxicity. Consequently, devising efficient and environmentally friendly methods to decontaminate these waters is of high interest to many researchers around the world. Among the varied water treatment and desalination means, adsorption and photocatalysis have been widely employed. However, the discussion and analysis of the use of zeolite-based composites as adsorbents are somehow minimal. The porous aluminosilicates (zeolites) are excellent candidates in wastewater treatment owing to various mechanisms of pollutants removal that they possess. The purpose of this review is thus to provide a synopsis of the current developments in the fabrication and application of nanocomposites based on zeolite as adsorbents and photocatalysts for the extraction of heavy metals, dyes and emerging pollutants from wastewaters. The review goes on to look into the effect of weight ratio on photocatalyst, photodegradation pathways, and various factors that influence photocatalysis and adsorption.

Abstract
A special type of two-dimensional (2D) material based conducting polymer was constructed by green synthesis and in-situ polymerization techniques. The 2D Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) were first synthesized with the combination of, ammonium tetrathiomolybdate dissolved in 20 mL algae extract under stirring. After stirring for about 2 h, and then finally sulfurization was initiated using sulfur powder in 20 mL of sulfuric solution and stirred for 8 h. The resulting black precipitates of MoS2 were collected by centrifugation at 5000 rpm. Moreover, the prepared MoS2 was functionalized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and form the MoS2@PGMA. Further, the MoS2@PGMA is combined with polyaniline (PANI) to form conducting polymer grafted thin film nanosheets named MoS2@PGMA/PANI with a thickness in micrometer size through grafting method. The prepared materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS and EDX techniques. To check the performance of materials the adsorption study was performed. Moreover, the adsorption study toward Cu2+ and Cd2+ showed a tremendous results and the maximum adsorption was 307.7 mg/g and 214.7 mg/g respectively. In addition, the pseudo-first and second order models as well as the adsorption isotherm were investigated using the Langmuir and Freundlich model. The results were best fitted with the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models. The regeneration study was also conducted and MoS2@PGMA/PANI nanosheets can be easily recycled and restored after five successful recycling. The established methodology for preparing the 2D materials and conducting polymer based MoS2@PGMA/PANI nanosheets is expected to be applicable for other multiple applications.

Abstract
This study aimed to guide future sensor studies against other pharmaceutical drugs by synthesizing Fe3O4NPs@MWCNT metallic nanoparticles (NPs). Side damage caused by excessive accumulation of tuberculosis drugs in the body can cause clots in the organs, and cause serious damage such as heart attack and respiratory failure, and threaten human life. Therefore, the development of sensors sensitive to various antibiotics in this study is important for human health. In this study, the sensitivity of Fe3O4 NPs to tuberculosis drug (rifampicin) was evaluated by catalytic reaction using bare/GCE, MWCNT/GCE, and Fe3O4NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrodes. First of all, Fe3O4 NPs were successfully synthesized for the study and MWCNT/GCE and Fe3O4 NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrodes were formed with the modification of the MWCNT support material. It was observed that the Fe3O4 NPs@MWCNT/GCE electrode gave the highest signal against the other electrodes. The morphological structure of Fe3O4 NPs was determined by various characterization techniques such as Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), and X-ray differential (XRD) and the obtained NPs were used for sensor studies, and it was observed that the current intensity increased as the scanning speed of each electrode increased in CV and DPV measurements. The average size of Fe3O4 NPs was found to be 7.32 ± 3.2 nm. Anodic current peaks occurred in the linear range of 2-25 μM. According to the results obtained from the measurements, the limit of detection (LOD) value was calculated as 0.64 μM limit of quantification (LOQ) 1.92 μM.

Abstract
Azo dyes are the most used type of dye in the textile industry. Some of these dyes have the potential to be extremely toxic to both human health and the environment. The purpose of this study was to develope an electrochemical sensor for detection of amaranth. The electrochemical sensor based on the modification of a screen-printed electrode via polypyrrole nanotubes (PPy NTs/SPE) for detection of amaranth was developed. The preparation of PPy NTs was performed through the pyrrole monomer oxidation with iron (III) chloride in exposure to methyl orange as structure-guiding agent. Findings exhibited an excellent electrocatalytic activity of as-fabricated sensor for amaranth detection. Our sensor under the optimized circumstances also had a broad linear dynamic range (between 0.03 μM and 290.0 μM) and a narrow limit of detection (0.01 μM) towards the amaranth detection. Moreover, the proposed sensor could practically and successfully determine the amaranth content present in the real food specimens, with acceptable recovery rates.

Abstract
The novel synthetic Sol‒EPD process of a thin film including of well decorated g‒C3N4 nanotubes on plate‒like hydroxyapatite (HAp) were applied. Using Sol‒EPD designable method anisotropic growth of HAp nanocrystals on the substrate were achieved. It has provided the orientation of the different crystal facets resulted in the photogenerated O‒vacancy from phosphate groups. Based on the studied XRD pattern, EPD deposited film of HAp was oriented along c‒plane that can improve the photocatalytic activity of the designed composited film. Systematic designing was applied for decoration of g‒C3N4 nanotubes on the HAp under thermal condensation of melamine coincide with calcination of HAp. This new designed HAp/g‒C3N4 nanofilm was shown high photocatalytic efficiency and completely degradation of persistent pollutant of 4‒nitrophenol in the aqueous solution. According to the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and current density studies, the higher charge separation/low charge recombination results were obtained for composited g‒C3N4/HAp nano‒film comparing with the single films of HAp and urchin like g‒C3N4. This high separation of charge pairs should be also assigned to the special designed morphology. In addition, wrapped like structure of g‒C3N4 nanotubes with C‒vacancy around HAp nanoplates play key role in separation of photo‒induced charge pairs, light diffusion, and high light harvesting within hollow nanotube. It can be highlighted that the composite degraded more than 95% of 4‒nitrophenol during 90 min that after 5 runs the photocatalytic activity was not significantly changed.
