[PMID: 38470747 DOI: 10.3390/nano14050416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
UV sensors hold significant promise for various applications in both military and civilian domains. However, achieving exceptional detectivity, responsivity, and rapid rise/decay times remains a notable challenge. In this study, we address this challenge by investigating the photodetection properties of CdS thin films and the influence of surface-deposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on their performance. CdS thin films were produced using the pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique on glass substrates, with CdS layers at a 100, 150, and 200 nm thickness. Extensive characterization was performed to evaluate the thin films' structural, morphological, and optical properties. Photodetector devices based on CdS and AuNPs/CdS films were fabricated, and their performance parameters were evaluated under 365 nm light illumination. Our findings demonstrated that reducing CdS layer thickness enhanced performance concerning detectivity, responsivity, external quantum efficiency (EQE), and photocurrent gain. Furthermore, AuNP deposition on the surface of CdS films exhibited a substantial influence, especially on devices with thinner CdS layers. Among the configurations, AuNPs/CdS(100 nm) demonstrated the highest values in all evaluated parameters, including detectivity (1.1×1012 Jones), responsivity (13.86 A/W), EQE (47.2%), and photocurrent gain (9.2).

Precise recognition and efficient recovery of Pd(II) from high-level liquid waste by a novel aminothiazole-functionalized silica-based adsorbent. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 350:141184. [PMID: 38215834 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141184] [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: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
Efficient recognition, separation and recovery of palladium from high-level liquid waste (HLLW) not only helps the safe, green and environmentally friendly disposal of nuclear waste, but also is an essential important supplement to overcome the growing shortage of natural palladium resources. Herein, a novel silica-based functional adsorbent named 2AT-SiAaC was prepared by a two-step method, i.e., grafting of 2-aminothiazole (2AT) via the amidated reaction after in-situ polymerization of acrylic monomers on porous silica. SEM, EDS, TG-DSC, BET and PXRD all proved the successful preparation of 2AT-SiAaC, and it exhibited ultrahigh adsorption selectivity for Pd(II) (Kd (distribution coefficient) ≥ 10,344.2 mL/g, SFPd/M (separation factor) ≥ 613.7), fast adsorption kinetics with short equilibrium time (t ≤ 1 h) and good adsorption capacity (Q ≥ 62.1 mg Pd/g). The dynamic column experiments shows that 2AT-SiAaC achieved efficiently separation of Pd(II) from simulated HLLW, and the enrichment coefficients (C/C0) of Pd(II) was as high as about 14 with the recovery rate nearly 99.9% and basically kept the same performance in three adsorption-desorption column cycle experiments. The adsorption mechanism was analyzed by FT-IR, XPS and DFT calculations, and the ultrahigh selectivity of 2AT-SiAaC was attributed to the preferred affinity of the soft N-donor atoms in 2AT for Pd(II). NO3- ions participated in the adsorption reaction to keep charge balance, and the frontier orbital electron density distribution diagram shows the charge transfer in the process of material preparation and adsorption. To sum up, 2AT-SiAaC adsorbent provided a new insight for precise recognition and efficient separation of Pd(II) from HLLW.

Facile and green synthesis of recyclable, environmentally friendly, chemically stable, and cost-effective magnetic nanohybrid adsorbent for tetracycline adsorption. Heliyon 2024; 10:e24179. [PMID: 38293470 PMCID: PMC10825349 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e24179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Antibiotic contamination of water sources, particularly tetracycline (TC) contamination, has emerged as one of the global issues that needs action. In this research, ZnCoFe2O4@Chitosan (Ch) as a magnetic nanohybrid adsorbent was synthesized using the microwave-assisted co-precipitation method, and their efficiency for the TC adsorption process was investigated. FESEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray), Mapping and line Scan, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer), VSM (Vibrating Sample Magnetometer), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and BET (Brunauer Emmett Teller) techniques were used to check and verify its physical and chemical properties. The removal of TC via the adsorption process from synthetic and real wastewater samples was investigated. The factors determining the TC adsorption process, comprising tetracycline concentration (5-30 mg/L), adsorbent dosage (0.7-2 g/L), contact time (2-45 min), and pH (3-11), were evaluated. The removal effectiveness for the synthetic sample and the real wastewater sample was 93 % and 80 %, respectively, under the ideal TC adsorption process parameters of pH 3, adsorbent dosage 1 g/L, TC initial concentration 5 mg/L, and contact time 30 min. According to kinetic and equilibrium studies, the adsorption of TC by ZnCoFe2O4@Ch follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and the Freundlich isotherm. Additionally, it was determined through the analysis of thermodynamic data that the process of exothermic adsorption is spontaneous and is followed by a decrease in disorder (ΔH = -15.16 kJ/mol, ΔS = -28.69 kJ/mol, and ΔG = -6.62 kJ/mol). After five cycles of recovery and regeneration, the ZnCoFe2O4@Ch magnetic nanocomposite was able to remove 65 % of the TC pollutant and had good chemical stability. The results showed that the magnetic nano-adsorbent ZnCoFe2O4@Ch is a novel magnetic nano-adsorbent with high adsorption capacity that can be utilized to eliminate pharmaceutical contaminants from aqueous solutions.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:4252. [PMID: 37374436 DOI: 10.3390/ma16124252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023]
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the potential of a new lignocellulosic biosorbent material derived from mature leaves of sour cherry (Prunus cerasus L.) for removing methylene blue and crystal violet dyes from aqueous solutions. The material was first characterized using several specific techniques (SEM, FTIR, color analysis). Then, the adsorption process mechanism was investigated through studies related to adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamics. A desorption study was also performed. Results showed that the Sips isotherm provided the best fit for the adsorption process of both dyes, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 168.6 (mg g-1) for methylene blue and 524.1 (mg g-1) for crystal violet, outperforming the capacity of other similar adsorbents. The contact time needed to reach equilibrium was 40 min for both studied dyes. The Elovich equation is the most suitable model for describing the adsorption of methylene blue, while the general order model is better suited for the adsorption of crystal violet dye. Thermodynamic analyses revealed the adsorption process to be spontaneous, favorable, and exothermic, with physical adsorption involved as the primary mechanism. The obtained results suggest that sour cherry leaves powder can be a highly efficient, eco-friendly, and cost-effective adsorbent for removing methylene blue and crystal violet dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Through the electrodeposition technique, toxic metals in wastewater can be removed and deposited on a chosen substrate with excellent selectivity. In this work, we use this technique to extract lead cations from simulated wastewater by using fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate at various temperatures. In situ tracking of lead nucleation at advanced stages has been achieved by chronoamperometry. According to the experimental results, the theoretical models developed to study the kinetic growth of lead deposits in 2D and 3D are in good agreement. Nucleation rate and growth rate constants, for example, were found to be strongly influenced by temperature. Cottrell's equation is used to calculate the diffusion coefficient. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersiveX-ray techniques were used to investigate and characterize the lead deposits. The reported results could provide insight into the optimization of electrodeposition processes for heavy metal recovery from wastewater and electronic wastes.

Abstract
Increasing trends of environmental pollution and emerging contaminants from anthropogenic activities have urged researchers to develop innovative strategies in wastewater management, including those using the biocatalyst laccase (EC 1.10.3.2). Laccase works effectively against a variety of substrates ranging from phenolic to non-phenolic compounds which only require molecular oxygen to be later reduced to H2O as the final product. In this study, we performed a bibliometric analysis on the metadata of literature acquired through the Scopus database (24 October 2022) with keyword combination "Laccase" AND "Pollutant" OR "Wastewater". The included publications were filtered based on year of publication (1978-2022), types of articles (original research articles and review articles) and language (English). The metadata was then exported in a CSV (.csv) file and visualized on VosViewer software. A total of 1865 publications were identified, 90.9% of which were original research articles and the remaining 9.1% were review articles. Most of the authors were from China (n = 416; 22.3%) and India (n = 276; 14.79%). In the case of subject area, 'Environmental Science' emerged with the highest published documents (n = 1053; 56.46%). The identified papers mostly cover laccase activity in degrading pollutants, and chitosan, which can be exploited for the immobilization. We encourage more research on laccase-assisted wastewater treatment, especially in terms of collaborations among organizations.

Abstract
Pollution due to various heavy metals is increasing at an alarming rate. Removal of hexavalent chromium from the environment is a significant and challenging issue due to its toxic effects on the ecosystem. Development of a low-cost adsorbent with better adsorption efficiency is presently required. In this study, waste coconut fibers (CF) were used to prepare its composite with polyaniline (PANI) via in-situ oxidation. The obtained composites with varying loading of PANI (15, 25, 50, and 75% w/w) were characterized by FE-SEM, TGA, and FTIR spectroscopy. The prepared composites were evaluated for their adsorption performance for removal of Cr(VI). It was concluded that the composite with 50% w/w polyaniline loading on coconut fiber exhibited a maximum adsorption efficiency of 93.11% in 30 min. The effect of pH, dosage, and concentration of the aqueous solution of chromium on the Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency of the composite was also studied. From the optimization studies it was observed that the absorbents exhibited the best adsorption response for Cr(VI) removal with 0.25 mg/mL adsorbent at pH 4, in 30 min. The effect of pH, dosage, and concentration of the aqueous solution of chromium on the Cr(VI) adsorption efficiency of the composite was also studied. This study highlights the application of low-cost adsorbent as a potential candidate for the removal of hexavalent chromium. A detailed study on the adsorption kinetics and isothermal analysis was conducted for the removal of Cr(VI) from aqueous solution using coconut fiber-polyaniline composite. From the kinetic investigation, the adsorption was found to follow the pseudo second order model. The data obtained were best fitted to the Elovich model confirming the chemisorption of the Cr(VI) on coconut polymer composites. The analysis of the isothermal models indicated monolayer adsorption based on the Langmuir adsorption model.
