Abstract
In this study, a number of leaching solutions (H2SO4, CuSO4 and NaCl) and an electrochemical method were used together for the separation of Cu from waste printed circuit boards. Secondly, the magnetic-MOF(Cu) was synthesized using the Cu recovered from waste printed circuit boards. Thereafter, TiO2/mag-MOF(Cu) composite was prepared and its photocatalytic activity was assessed in the photo degradation of two prominent organophosphorus pesticides, namely malathion (MTN) and diazinon (DZN). The catalytic structure of the MOF-based composite was fully characterized by various analyses such as XRD, SEM, EDAX, FT-IR, VSM and UV-vis. The obtained analyses confirmed the successful synthesis of TiO2/mag-MOF(Cu) composite. The synthesized composite exhibited highly efficient in the degradation of both pollutants under the following conditions: pH 7, contaminant concentration 1 mg/L, the catalyst dosage of 0.4 g/L, visible light intensity 75 mW/cm2 and reaction time of 45 min. First order kinetic model was best suited with the experimental results (R2: 0.97-0.99 for different MTN and DZN concentrations). Trapping studies revealed that superoxide radicals (O2•-) played an important role during the degradation process. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrated a superb recovery as well as high stability over five cyclic runs of reuse. In addition, the total organic carbon (TOC) analysis showed over 83% and 85% mineralization for MTN and DZN, respectively. The combined system of TiO2/mag-MOF(Cu)/Vis also exhibited a great level of efficiency and feasibility in the treatment of tap water and treated wastewater samples. It is concluded that TiO2/mag-MOF(Cu) could be used as an excellent catalyst for the photodegradation of MTN and DZN in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can be customized through modular assembly to achieve a wide range of potential applications, based on their desired functionality. However, most of the initially reported MOFs are limited to microporous systems and are not sufficiently stable, which restricts their popularization. Heterogeneity is introduced into a simple MOF framework to create MOF-based heterostructures with fascinating properties and interesting functions. Heterogeneity can be introduced into the MOFs via postsynthetic/ligand exchange. Although the ligand exchange has shown potential, it is difficult to precisely control the degree of exchange or position. Among the various synthesis strategies, hierarchical assembly is particularly attractive for constructing MOF-based heterostructures, as it can achieve precise regulation of MOF-based heterostructured nanostructures. The hierarchical assembly significantly expands the compositional diversity of MOF-based heterostructures, which has high elasticity for lattice matching during the epitaxial growth of MOFs. This review focuses on the synthetic evolution mechanism of hierarchical assemblies of MOF-based nanoarchitectures. Subsequently, the precise control of pore structure, pore size, and morphology of MOF-based nanoarchitectures by hierarchical assembly is emphasized. Finally, possible solutions to address the challenges associated with heterogeneous interfaces are presented, and potential opportunities for innovative applications are proposed.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Organic pollutants in wastewater are the biggest problem facing the world today due to population growth, rapid increase in industrialization, urbanization, and technological advancement. There have been numerous attempts to use conventional wastewater treatment techniques to address the issue of worldwide water contamination. However, conventional wastewater treatment has a number of shortcomings, including high operating costs, low efficiency, difficult preparation, fast recombination of charge carriers, generation of secondary waste, and limited light absorption. Therefore, plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts have attracted much attention as a promising method to reduce organic pollutant problems in water due to their excellent efficiency, low operating cost, ease of fabrication, and environmental friendliness. In addition, plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts contain a local surface plasmon resonance that enhances the performance of photocatalysts by improving light absorption and separation of photoexcited charge carriers. This review summarizes the major plasmonic effects in photocatalysts, including hot electron, local field effect, and photothermal effect, and explains the plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts with five junction systems for the degradation of pollutants. Recent work on the development of plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts for the degradation of various organic pollutants in wastewater is also discussed. Lastly, the conclusions and challenges are briefly described and the direction of future development of heterojunction photocatalysts with plasmonic materials is explored. This review could serve as a guide for the understanding, investigation, and construction of plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts for various organic pollutants degradation. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Herein, the plasmonic effects in photocatalysts, such as hot electrons, local field effect, and photothermal effect, as well as the plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts with five junction systems for the degradation of pollutants are explained. Recent work on plasmonic-based heterojunction photocatalysts for the degradation of various organic pollutants in wastewater such as dyes, pesticides, phenols, and antibiotics is discussed. Challenges and future developments are also described.

Abstract
There is an urgent need for cleaner production processes for chemicals. An efficient and promising alternative for such reactions is heterogeneous photocatalysis, which works on the principle of converting (visible) light, including solar energy, into chemical energy. To that end, properly designed semiconductor based photocatalysts are necessary to trigger the photocatalytic reactions. Many commonly used photocatalysts have too large bandgaps (3-3.4 eV) to use visible light and a too low surface area for efficient production. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as an encouraging class of materials for photocatalytic applications due to their (i) large surface area and porosity that facilitate adsorption towards chemicals, (ii) tunable crystallinity and optical and electronic properties for efficient light absorption in the visible region, (iii) tunable composition and functionality that make them versatile photocatalysts for a wide range of reactions, and (iv) facile development of composites with other semiconductors to produce Z-scheme heterojunctions that can effectively suppress the recombination of photogenerated charges. Ongoing research has started focusing on the judicious construction of Z-scheme heterojunctions in MOFs, to mimic natural photosynthesis, such that the MOF photocatalysts have higher light harvesting capacity, spatially separated reductive and oxidative active sites, and well-preserved redox ability. This review provides a concise compilation of the recent progress in the development and applications of MOF-based Z-scheme photocatalysts, their advanced characterization, and future perspectives for further advancements.

Abstract
Diazinon is a widely used pesticide that can be effectively degraded in aqueous solutions via photocatalytic oxidation. This quantitative systematic review was conducted to shed light on the various aspects of photocatalytic diazinon removal based on evidence. A systematic search was performed in Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Ovid databases with keywords including diazinon, photocatalysis, and their equivalents. The search was limited to original articles in English published between January 1, 2010, and March 25, 2021. The results were expressed by descriptive statistics including mean, SD, median, and percentiles, among others. The initial electronic and manual search retrieved 777 articles, among which 41 studies comprising 49 trials were qualified for data synthesis. The reported diazinon degradation rate ranged from 2 to 100%, with a mean ± SD of 59.17 ± 28.03%. Besides, ZnO/UV, WO3/UV, TiO2/UV, and TiO2/Vis, in sequence, were the most widely used processes with the highest efficacies. Solution pH in the range of 5-8, catalyst dose below 600 mg/L, diazinon initial concentration below 40 mg/L, and contact time of 20-140 min could be the optimum conditions. Diazinon degradation obeyed the first-order kinetic model with kobs between 0.0042 and 1.86 min-1 and consumed energy of 38.93-350.36 kWh/m3. Diazoxon and IMP were the most detected by-products of diazinon degradation although bioassay data were scarce. Based on the results, photocatalytic processes are very efficient in removing diazinon from aqueous solutions although more elaborate studies are needed to assess the mineralization rate and effluent toxicity.

Abstract
In this world, water is considered as the Elixir for all living creatures. Human life rolls with water, and every activity depends upon water. Worldwide water resources are being contaminated due to the elevation in the population count, industrialization and urbanization. Ejection of chemicals by industries and domestic sewages remains the major reason in the destruction of natural water resources. Contaminated water with harmful microbes, chemical dyes, pesticides, and carcinogens are the root cause of many diseases and deaths of living species. In this scenario, researchers engaged in producing ultra components to remove the contaminants. Metal organic frameworks (MOF) are the desired combination of organic and inorganic materials to achieve the required target. MOFs possess unique characteristics like tunable internal structure, porosity, crystallinity and high surface area which enable them for energy and environmental application. For the past years, MOFs are concentrated more as a photocatalyst in the treatment of polluted water. These research studies discuss the improvement of photocatalytic performance of MOF by the incorporation of metals, metal coupled with nanoparticles like polymers, graphene, etc., into it to achieve the enhanced photocatalytic activity by scavenging entire chemicals and harmful microbes to retain the quality of water. The target of this review article is to focus on the state of the art research work on MOFs in photocatalytic water treatment technique.

Abstract
Degradation of norfloxacin (NFX) by zinc oxide (ZnO)/g-C3N4, a magnetic sheet ZnO with g-C3N4 on its surface was studied. Through a new preparation system method, hydrothermal reaction provides a solid-layered magnetic ZnO material basis, and the simple thermal condensation method was used to transform the urea into g-C3N4 on the magnetic sheet ZnO in a uniform and orderly manner to increase the stability and photocatalytic performance of the material. Compared with previous studies, the pore volume and photocatalytic performance of the material are improved, and became more stable. By studying the degradation effect of basic and photocatalytic materials prepared in different proportions, the kinetic constant of ZGF is 0.01446 (min-1). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to study the optimization and effect of solution pH (4-12), photocatalyst concentration (0.2-1.8 g/L), and NFX concentration (3-15 mg/L) on the degradation rate of NFX during photocatalytic degradation. The R2 value of the RSM model was 0.9656. The NFX removal rate is higher than 90% when the amount of catalyst is 1.43 g/L, the solution pH is 7.12, and the NFX concentration is less than 8.61 mg/L. After 5 cycles, the degradation rate of magnetic materials decreased to 92.8% of the first time. The capture experiment showed that the photocatalytic machine Toxicities was mainly hole action. The TOC removal rate within 2 h was 30%, a special intermediate toxicity analysis method was adopted according to the characteristics of NFX's inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli community. The toxicity of degraded NFX solution disappeared, and the possibility of non-toxic harm of by-products was verified. LC-Q-TOF method was used to detect and analyze various intermediate products converted from NFX after photocatalytic degradation, and the photocatalytic degradation pathway of NFX was proposed.

Abstract
The Z-scheme heterojunction is a photocatalyst with narrow band gap and sufficiently high oxidization and reduction powers for degradation of pollutants in waters. This review firstly summarizes the fundamentals of photocatalysis, and explains the need to develop Z-scheme heterojunctions to harvest energy from sunlight effectively. Secondly, contemporary reports of degradation wastewater pollutants, including organic dyes, antibiotics, and other chemicals are reviewed and discussed. A challenge in the selection of an appropriate Z-scheme for removing a specific pollutant is the lack of available energy levels that are offered by the catalyst and the lack of redox energy levels that are required to break down essential chemical bonds of the pollutants. With reference to the redox energy levels offered by the active photocatalytic species, the redox energy levels of specific pollutants studied in literature are estimated. Challenges and prospects concerning the use of the Z-scheme to degrade recalcitrant pollutants under irradiation by sunlight are outlined at the end of this review.

Abstract
For survival and quality of life, human society has sought more productive, precise, and sustainable agriculture. Agrochemistry, which solves farming issues in a chemical manner, is the core engine that drives the evolution of modern agriculture. To date, agrochemistry has utilized chemical technologies in the form of pesticides, fertilizers, veterinary drugs and various functional materials to meet fundamental demands from human society, while increasing the socio-ecological consequences due to inefficient use. Thus, more useful, precise, and designable scaffolding materials are required to support sustainable agrochemistry. Reticular chemistry, which weaves molecular units into frameworks, has been applied in many fields based on two cutting-edge porous framework materials, namely metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent-organic frameworks (COFs). With flexibility in composition, structure, and pore chemistry, MOFs and COFs have shown increasing functionalities associated with agrochemistry in the last decade, potentially introducing reticular chemistry as a highly accessible chemical toolbox into agrochemical technologies. In this critical review, we will demonstrate how reticular chemistry shapes the future of agrochemistry in the fields of farm sensing, agro-ecological preservation and reutilization, agrochemical formulations, smart indoor farming, agrobiotechnology, and beyond.
