Abstract
Particulate matters (PMs) pose significant risks to human health and the environment, necessitating research to enhance air purification filters and reduce harmful emissions. This study focuses on the preparation of carbon nanomaterials, including graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (g-C3N4 NSs), reduced graphene oxide (r-GO), and carbon nanotubes (CNT), for modifying filters in air particle monitoring devices. The objective is to investigate the impact of these nanomaterials on enhancing PM adsorption efficiency. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the modified filters' adsorption efficiency towards PMs are performed using spectroscopic techniques such as Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP), and Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS). The results reveal that CNT-modified filters exhibit superior adsorption efficiency compared to the control, g-C3N4, and r-GO-modified filters. The exceptional performance of CNTs is attributed to their large specific surface area and pore volume. Additionally, LIBS demonstrates its capability to detect heavy metals like Cd, which remain undetected by EDX and ICP. The technique proves sensitive for heavy metal monitoring. This novel approach is expected to garner significant attention and contribute to the development of improved air purification technologies.

Abstract
Self-cleaning surface has attracted much attention in the field of photocatalytic degradation of NO due to its dirt pickup resistance and self-cleaning effect under the action of rainwater. In this review, the factors affecting NO degradation efficiency were analyzed in terms of photocatalyst characteristics and environmental conditions combined with the photocatalytic degradation mechanism. The feasibility of photocatalytic degradation of NO on superhydrophilic, superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic surfaces was discussed. Furthermore, the effect of special surface characteristics of self-cleaning on photocatalytic NO was highlighted and the improvement of the long-term effect using three self-cleaning surfaces on photocatalytic NO was evaluated and summarized. Finally, the conclusion and outlook were proposed related to the self-cleaning surface for photocatalytic degradation of NO. In future research, the comprehensive effects of the characteristics of photocatalytic materials, self-cleaning characteristics and environmental factors on the photocatalytic degradation of NO and the actual application effects of such self-cleaning photocatalytic surfaces should be further clarified in combination with the engineering. It is believed that this review can provide some theoretical basis and support for the development of self-cleaning surfaces in the field of photocatalytic degradation of NO.

Abstract
The design of reactors based on high performance photocatalysts is an important research in catalytic hydrogenation. In this work, modification of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) was achieved by preparation of Pt/TiO2 nanocomposites (NCs) through photo-deposition method. Both nanocatalysts were used for the photocatalytic removal of SOx from the flue gas at room temperature in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, water, and nitroacetanilide derivatives under visible light irradiation. In this approach, chemical deSOx was achieved along with protection of the nanocatalyst from sulfur poising through the interaction of the released SOx from SOx-Pt/TiO2 surface with p-nitroacetanilide derivatives to produce simultaneous aromatic sulfonic acids. Pt/TiO2 NCs have a bandgap of 2.64 eV in visible light range, which is lower than the bandgap of TiO2 NPs, whereas TiO2 NPs have a mean size of 4 nm and a high specific surface area of 226 m2/g. Pt/TiO2 NCs showed high photocatalytic sulfonation of some phenolic compounds using SO2 as a sulfonating agent along with the existence of p-nitroactanilide derivatives. The conversion of p-nitroacetanilide followed the combination processes of adsorption and catalytic oxidation-reduction reactions. Construction of an online continuous flow reactor-high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry system had been investigated, realizing real-time and automatic monitoring of completion the reaction. 4-nitroacetanilide derivatives (1a-1e) was converted to its corresponding sulfamic acid derivatives (2a-2e) in 93-99% isolated yields of within 60 s. It is expected to offer a great opportunity for ultrafast detection of pharmacophores.

Abstract
The synthesis of titania-based composite materials with anticancer potential under visible-light irradiation is the aim of this study. In specific, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) chemically modified with silver were embedded in a stimuli-responsive microgel (a crosslinked interpenetrating network (IP) network that was synthesized by poly (N-Isopropylacrylamide) and linear chains of polyacrylic acid sodium salt, forming composite particles. The ultimate goal of this research, and for our future plans, is to develop a drug-delivery system that uses optical fibers that could efficiently photoactivate NPs, targeting cancer cells. The produced Ag-TiO2 NPs, the microgel and the composite materials were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), micro-Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our results indicated that Ag-TiO2 NPs were successfully embedded within the thermoresponsive microgel. Either Ag-TiO2 NPs or the composite materials exhibited high photocatalytic degradation efficiency on the pollutant rhodamine B and significant anticancer potential under visible-light irradiation.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has emerged as a viable choice for several biological and environmental applications because of its high efficiency, cheap cost, and high photostability. In pursuit of this purpose, the research of its many forms has been influenced by these unique aspects. The development of novel TiO2-based hybrid materials with enhanced photocatalytically induced anticancer activity has gained tremendous attention. Here, we have developed a novel photocatalytic material (TiO2–Ag NPs@-CD) by decorating ultrasmall silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with per-6-thio-β-cyclodextrin (SH-β-CD) on TiO2 NPs. TiO2–Ag NPs@-CD were characterized by employing various characterization techniques and evaluated for their anticancer activity against HeLa cancer cells using an MTT assay. The biocompatibility of the designed nanoparticles was determined on two normal cell lines, namely, 3T3 and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The results show that the TiO2–Ag NPs@-CD induced superior cytotoxic effects on HeLa cancer cells at a concentration of 64 μg/ml. Live-dead staining and oxidative stress investigations demonstrated that cell membrane disintegration and ROS-induced oxidative stress generated by TiO2-Ag NPs@-CD inside HeLa cancer cells are the contributing factors to their exceptional anti-cancer performance. Moreover, TiO2-Ag NPs@-CD exhibited good biocompatibility with 3T3 and hMSCs. These results indicated that the combination of all three components—a silver core, SH-β-CD ligands, and TiO2 nanoparticles—produced a synergistic anticancer effect. Hence, the TiO2-Ag NPs@-CD is a promising material that can be employed for different biological applications.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation is an eco-friendly and sustainable method for the treatment of water pollutants especially tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). Herein, we developed F-doped H2Ti3O7-{104} nanorods with oxygen vacancies using TiOF2 as a precursor by simple alkali hydrothermal and ion-exchange methods. The phase structure, surface composition, optical properties, specific surface areas and charge separation were analysed by a series of measurements. The effects of KOH concentration on the structure and properties of H2Ti3O7 were investigated. It is confirmed that the TiOF2/H2Ti3O7 composite can be formed in low concentration KOH solution (1 mol L-1), while the H2Ti3O7 single phase can be formed in high concentration KOH solution (>3 mol L-1). The prepared F-doped H2Ti3O7-{104} nanorods provide a high specific surface area of 457 m2 g-1 and a macroporous volume of 0.69 cm3 g-1. The appropriate mesoporous structure of the photocatalyst makes TCH have a stronger affinity on its surface, which is more conducive to the subsequent photodegradation. Moreover, a synergistic mechanism of photosensitization and ligand-metal charge transfer (LMCT) in the photocatalytic degradation of TCH was proposed. In addition, the prepared F-doped H2Ti3O7-{104} nanorods showed excellent cycle stability and resistance to light corrosion. After five cycles of photodegradation, the degradation rate of TCH was only reduced from 92% to 83%. This low-cost strategy could be used for the mass production of efficient photocatalysts, which can be used for TCH clean-up in wastewater treatment.
