Abstract
The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are significant in guiding modern scientific research. In recent years, scholars have paid much attention to MOFs materials as green materials. However, piezo catalysis of MOFs materials has not been widely studied. Piezoelectric materials can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, while MOFs are effective photocatalysts for removing pollutants. Therefore, it is crucial to design MOFs with piezoelectric properties and photosensitivity. In this study, sulfur-functionalized metal-organic frameworks (S-MOFs) were prepared using organic sulfur-functionalized ligand (H2TDC) ultrasonic synthesis to enhance their piezoelectric properties and visible light absorption. The study demonstrated that the S-MOFs significantly enhanced the reduction of a 10 mg/L solution of hexavalent chromium to 99.4 % within 10 min, using only 15 mg of catalyst. The orbital energy level differences of the elements were analyzed using piezo response force microscopy (PFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that MOFs functionalized with sulfur atom ligands have a built-in electric field that facilitates charge separation and migration. This study presents a new approach to enhance the piezoelectric properties of MOFs, which broadens their potential applications in piezo catalysis and piezo-photocatalysis. Additionally, it provides a sustainable method for reducing hexavalent chromium, contributing to the achievement of sustainable development goals, specifically SDG-6, SDG-7, SDG-9, and SDG-12.

Abstract
The use of polymer gels for the removal of toxic chemicals from wastewater is an important area in terms of both academic and industrial research. This work presents a simple approach to the fabrication of chemically cross-linked cationic hydrogel adsorbents using designed ionic liquid-based cross-linkers and their successful use in the removal of organic dyes. Two different ionic liquid cross-linkers, [VIm-4VBC][Cl] (ILA)/[DMAEMA-4VBC][Cl] (ILB), are synthesized by the simple nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (4VBC) separately with 1-vinylimidazole (VIm) and 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). Cross-linked poly(acrylamide) (CPAam) and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (CPHEMA) hydrogels are then prepared from the corresponding monomers and as-synthesized cross-linkers (ILA and ILB) by free radical polymerization in the presence of a redox initiator combining ammonium persulfate (APS) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED). The dried CPAam and CPHEMA xerogels exhibit macroporous morphology and high thermal stability. The hydrogel samples exhibit high swelling behavior, and the diffusion of water molecules into the hydrogels follows pseudo-Fickian kinetics. The cationic cross-linking sites in the hydrogel networks allow preferable binding with anionic dyes, and these dye uptake capacities are determined using different model anionic dyes via UV-vis spectroscopy. The dye adsorption onto these hydrogels follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption mechanism is also analyzed by employing intraparticle diffusion and Boyd kinetic models. The relationship between the maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity (qm) of the hydrogels for eosin B (EB) dye and the equilibrium EB concentration can be better described by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, and the estimated qm using the Langmuir isotherm can reach more than 100 mg g-1. The cross-linked hydrogels can be easily regenerated and have a recycling efficiency of >80% for up to three consecutive dye adsorption-desorption cycles, which is promising for their use in wastewater treatment.

A juxtaposed review on adsorptive removal of PFAS by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with carbon-based materials, ion exchange resins, and polymer adsorbents. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 311:136933. [PMID: 36280122 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136933] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 09/23/2022] [Accepted: 10/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The removal of poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from the aquatic environment is a universal concern due to the adverse effects of these substances on both the environment and public health. Different adsorbents, including carbon-based materials, ion exchange resins, biomaterials, and polymers, have been used for the removal of short-chain (C < 6) and long-chain (C > 7) PFAS from water with varying performance. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), as a new generation of adsorbents, have also been recently used to remove PFAS from water. MOFs provide unique properties such as significantly enhanced surface area, structural tunability, and improved selectivity compared to conventional adsorbents. However, due to various types of MOFs, their complex chemistry and morphology, different PFAS compounds, lack of standard adsorption test, and different testing conditions, there are inconclusive and contradictory findings in the literature. Therefore, this review aims to provide critical analysis of the performance of different types of MOFs in the removal of long-chain (C > 7), short-chain (C < 6), and ultra-short-chain (C < 3) PFAS and comprehensively study the efficiency of MOFs for PFAS removal in comparison with other adsorbents. In addition, the adsorption mechanisms and kinetics of PFAS components on different MOFs, including Materials of Institute Lavoisier (MIL), Universiteit of Oslo (UiO), Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), and other hybrid types of MOF were discussed. The study also discussed the effect of environmental factors such as pH and ionic strength on the adsorption of PFAS on MOFs. In addition to the adsorption process, the reusability and regeneration of MOFs in the PFAS removal process are discussed. Finally, challenges and future outlooks of the utility of MOFs for PFAS removal were discussed to inspire future critical research efforts in removing PFAS.

Surface-initiated polymerization of PVDF membrane using amine and bismuth tungstate (BWO) modified MIL-100(Fe) nanofillers for pesticide photodegradation. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 304:135286.

Abstract
Pirimicarb as a pesticide is used to control the aphids in the agriculture field; however, it affects the groundwater ecosystem by leaching through the soil profile. The post-synthetic amine and BWO modified MIL-100 (Fe) nanofillers were synthesized. The photocatalytic property of amine-functionalized and BWO@MIL-100(Fe) nanofillers was confirmed by the lesser bandgap energy than the unmodified MIL-100 (Fe) nanofiller. Herein, we constructed a nanofillers grafted PVDF membrane via in-situ polymerization technique for the pirimicarb reduction and photodegradation. Furthermore, the nanofiller's grafted membranes were characterized by FESEM, XRD, FTIR, and contact angle analysis. The carboxylic acid peak was observed on the FTIR which demonstrated the PAA grafted on the membrane surface and similar crystalline peaks evident that the nanofillers were grafted on the membrane surface. Furthermore, surface morphology studies have exhibited the dispersion of nanofillers and enhanced microvoids in the cross-section of the membrane. The decrease in the water contact angle of the membrane depicted the improved antifouling properties and surface energy. The nanofiller's grafted membranes have shown higher hydrophilicity correlated well with the enhanced pure water flux in the order M4 > M5 > M2 > M3 > M6 > M7 compared to the neat membrane (M1). In BWO@MIL-100(Fe) membrane has shown a higher permeate flux (25.99 L m-2.h-1) than the neat PVDF membrane. The BWO@MIL-100(Fe) grafted PVDF membrane has also shown excellent pirimicarb photodegradation of 81% at pH 5. The proposed MIL-100 (Fe) and bismuth tungsten nanocomposite will pave the way for the different MOF-based photocatalytic materials for membrane-based pesticide degradation.

Abstract
In this study, tin oxide‑cobalt oxide nanocatalyst was prepared by a simple method, which grew in spherical particles with an average diameter of 30 nm. Tin oxide-cobalt oxide was further wrapped in alginate polymer hydrogel (Alg@tin oxide-cobalt oxide), and both materials were utilized as nanocatalysts for the catalytic transformation of different pollutants. Tin oxide-cobalt oxide and Alg@tin oxide-cobalt oxide nanocatalysts were tested for the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol, congo red, methyl orange, methylene blue (MB) and potassium ferricyanide in which sodium borohydride was used as a reducing agent. Tin oxide-cobalt oxide and Alg@tin oxide-cobalt oxide nanocatalysts synergistically reduced MB in shorter time (2.0 and 4.0 min) compared to other dyes. The reduction conditions were optimized by changing different parameters. The rate constants for MB reduction were calculated and found to be 1.5714 min-1 and 0.6033 min-1 using tin oxide-cobalt oxide and Alg@tin oxide-cobalt oxide nanocatalysts, respectively. Implementing Alg@tin oxide-cobalt oxide nanocatalyst toward MB reduction in real samples proved its efficacy in sea and well water samples. The catalyst could be easily recovered, recycled and revealed a minimal loss of nanoparticles, which offering a competition and replacement with reputable commercial catalysts.
