Abstract
Water electrolysis is an important alternative technology for large-scale hydrogen production to facilitate the development of green energy technology. As such, many efforts have been devoted over the past three decades to producing novel electrocatalysis with strong electrochemical (EC) performance using inexpensive electrocatalysts. Transition metal oxyhydroxide (OxH)-based electrocatalysts have received substantial interest, and prominent results have been achieved for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions. Herein, the extensive research focusing on the discussion of OxH-based electrocatalysts is comprehensively highlighted. The general forms of the water-splitting mechanism are described to provide a profound understanding of the mechanism, and their scaling relation activities for OxH electrode materials are given. This paper summarizes the current developments on the EC performance of transition metal OxHs, rare metal OxHs, polymers, and MXene-supported OxH-based electrocatalysts. Additionally, an outline of the suggested HER, OER, and water-splitting processes on transition metal OxH-based electrocatalysts, their primary applications, existing problems, and their EC performance prospects are discussed. Furthermore, this review article discusses the production of energy sources from the proton and electron transfer processes. The highlighted electrocatalysts have received substantial interest to boost the synergetic electrochemical effects to improve the economy of the use of hydrogen, which is one of best ways to fulfill the global energy requirements and address environmental crises. This article also provides useful information regarding the development of OxH electrodes with a hierarchical nanostructure for the water-splitting reaction. Finally, the challenges with the reaction and perspectives for the future development of OxH are elaborated.

Abstract
An iron-nickel bimetallic oxide porous graphene composite material (Fe/Ni-PG) was prepared by a simple partial combustion method, which can be used to effectively remove sulfonamides (SAs) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption performance of Fe/Ni-PG, Fe-PG, and Ni-PG on six kinds of SAs was compared, and the influence of time, temperature, pH, and initial concentration of SAs on the adsorption behavior of SAs of Fe/Ni-PG in an aqueous solution was studied. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics exhibited that the Langmuir model and pseudo-second-order kinetics model can describe the adsorption isotherm and kinetics. The maximum adsorption capacities of sulfadiazine (SD), sulfamerazine (SM), sulfamethazine (SDM), sulfathiazole (STZ), sulfapyridine (SPD), and sulfisoxazole (SIZ) calculated by the Langmuir model were 26.3, 50.3, 42.2, 27.3, 34.5, and 41.7 mg/g, respectively, which exceeded those of most reported adsorbents. In the adsorption process, hydrogen bonding, π-π electron donor-acceptor, electrostatic interaction, and bimetallic synergies play a major role, and the entire adsorption process is spontaneously endothermic. In addition, the material has excellent stability, and the Fe/Ni-PG after desorption is consistent with the raw material. This work provides a favorable way for the removal of SAs in the environment.

Sustainable removal of anodized aluminum dye by groundwater treatment waste: experimental and modeling. Heliyon 2021; 7:e05993.

Abstract
Groundwater treatment waste (GWTW), as an environmentally friendly renewable nanomaterial, was implemented for the removal of anodized aluminum dye Sanodure Green (SG) from aqueous solutions. The capability of the SG metal complex dye removal was assessed by measuring solution decoloration and chromium elimination degree. GWTW was characterized using FTIR, SEM, EDX, TEM, XPS and surface area measurements. Kinetic curves were obtained by changing initial dye concentration, pH, temperature and adsorbent dose. Kinetic studies showed that up to 90 % of SG dye was removed within a contact time of 20 min. The adsorption of the dye was favourable at 293 K temperature in the acidic pH region (pH 1.5-2.0) with maximum adsorption capacity 185 mg g-1. Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm model as well as hyperbolic tangent, diffusion-chemisorption and Elovich kinetic models accurately describe the dye removal process. The calculated thermodynamic parameters confirmed that SG dye removal occurred spontaneously and exothermically. The magnitude of enthalpy change (ΔH° = -35.80 kJ mol-1) was in agreement with the electrostatic interaction. The adsorption potential of GWTW for SG dye removal was also evaluated using a real wastewater produced after dyeing of anodized aluminum.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) in water systems is a major hazard for living organisms, including humans. The most popular technology currently used to remove Cr(VI) from polluted water is sorption for its effectiveness, ease of use, low cost and environmental friendliness. The electrostatic interactions between chromium species and the sorbent matrix are the main determinants of Cr(VI) sorption. The pH plays a central role in the process by affecting chromium speciation and the net charge on sorbent surface. In most cases, Cr(VI) sorption is an endothermic process whose kinetics is satisfactorily described by the pseudo second-order model. A critical survey of the recent literature, however, reveals that the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters reported for Cr(VI) sorption are often incorrect and/or erroneously interpreted.

Abstract
Metal hydroxide nanomaterials are widely applied in the energy and environment fields. The electrochemical performance of such materials is strongly dependent on their crystal phases. However, as there are always multiple factors relating to the phase-dependent electrochemistry, it is still difficult to identify the determining one. The well-defined crystal phases of α- and β-FeOOH nanorods are characterized through the transmission electron microscopy by a series of rotation toward one rod, where the cross-section shape and the growth direction along the [001] crystalline are first verified for 1D FeOOH nanostructures. The electrosensitivity of the two materials toward Pb(II) is tested, where α-FeOOH performs an outstanding sensitivity whilst it is only modest for β-FeOOH. Experiments via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS), etc., show that α-FeOOH presents a larger Pb(II) adsorption capacity due to more surficial hydroxyl groups and weaker PbO bond strength. The reaction kinetics are simulated and the adsorption capacity is found to be the determining factor for the distinct Pb(II) sensitivities. Combining experiment with simulation, this work reveals the physical insights of the phase-dependent electrochemistry for FeOOH and provides guidelines for the functional application of metal hydroxide nanomaterials.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology make it possible to create nanomaterials based on γ-alumina with novel hierarchical structure and physicochemical properties. Hierarchical γ-alumina can be synthesized using chemical or physical methods. The nanostructures based on γ-alumina exhibit unique properties, which are utilized in the design of efficient applications. These superior properties are often due to their hierarchical organizations from the nanosize scale to the macroscopic level. The present review is devoted to the contemporary state of the studies on the methods to produce hierarchical γ-alumina. We tried to summarize herein the literature data on the methods of synthesis of hierarchical γ-AlOOH and γ-Al2O3 with controlled morphology and the application of these methods for the synthesis of hierarchical γ-AlOOH and γ-Al2O3 nanocomposites.

Abstract
The facile one-step synthesis of AlOOH–Ag nanocomposite has been performed. Bimetallic Al–Ag nanoparticles prepared by electrical explosion of Al and Ag wires were used as a precursor. AlAg nanoparticles consisted of a supersaturated Al–6 at% Ag solid solution and Ag-rich Guinier–Preston zone several nanometer in diameter that were not detected by XRD due to their extremely small size and peculiarities of their crystal structure. An environmentally friendly process of water oxidation at 60 C was used to convert Al–Ag nanoparticles into AlOOH–Ag nanocomposites. In the course of oxidation, chemical dealloying of Al–Ag solid solution took place yielding porous agglomerates with inclusions of very fine 5–30 nm Ag nanoparticles. The agglomerates consisted of 2–5 nm thick crumpled nanosheets of boehmite 200 nm in size. The synthesized AlOOH–Ag nanocomposites possessed high antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms as indicated by the time-kill assay. The presented results open up new processing possibilities of metal-oxide composite nanostructures with attractive properties that can be used in catalysis, water purification and biomedical applications. The facile one-step synthesis of AlOOH–Ag nanocomposite has been performed.![]()
