Abstract
Development and the application of Sn-based materials have become more prevalent in recent years due to concerns regarding the energy crisis, environmental pollution, and the urgent need of constructing inexpensive and highly effective photocatalysis. The recent advancement in Sn-based materials for efficient photocatalysts, such as Sn alloys, Sn oxides, Sn sulfides, Sn selenides, Sn niobates, Sn tantalites, and Sn tungstates, is summarized in this study. Several design ideas for increasing the photoactivity of Sn-based materials in various photocatalytic applications are emphasized. In addition, we considered their present applications in energy generation (H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation) and environmental remediation (air purification and wastewater treatment). As a result, the current review will deepen the reader's understanding of the properties and potential uses of Sn-based materials in photocatalysis. Hence, this paper will serve as a guide in promoting the domain of Sn-based materials for future photocatalytic technologies.

Abstract
The sustainable synthesis of metal oxide materials provides an ecofriendly and more exciting approach in the domain of a clean environment. Besides, plant extracts to synthesize nanoparticles have been considered one of the more superior ecofriendly methods. This paper describes the biosynthetic preparation route of three different sizes of tetragonal structure SnO2 nanoparticles (SNPs) from the agro-waste cotton boll peel aqueous extract at 200, 500, and 800 °C for 3 h and represents a low-cost and alternative preparation method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Surface area and porosity size distribution were identified by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. The photocatalytic properties of the SNP samples were studied against methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO), and the degradation was evaluated with three different size nanomaterials of 3.97, 8.48, and 13.43 nm. Photocatalytic activities were carried out under a multilamp (125 W Hg lamps) photoreactor. The smallest size sample exhibited the highest MB degradation efficiency within 30 min than the most significant size sample, which lasted 80 min. Similarly, in the case of MO, the smallest sample showed a more superior degradation efficiency with a shorter period (40 min) than the large-size samples (100 min). Therefore, our studies suggested that the developed SNP nanomaterials could be potential, promising photocatalysts against the degradation of industrial effluents.

Electrochemical Analysis of Sulfisoxazole Using Glassy Carbon Electrode (GCE) and MWCNTs/Rare Earth Oxide (CeO 2 and Yb 2O 3) Modified-GCE Sensors. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27062033.

Abstract
In this work, new electrochemical sensors based on the modification of glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)-rare metal oxides (REMO) nanocomposites were fabricated by drop-to-drop method of MWCNTs-REMO dispersion in ethanol. REMO nanoparticles were synthesized by precipitation followed by hydrothermal treatment at 180 °C in absence and presence of TritonTM X-100 surfactant. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) analysis using MWCNTs-CeO2@GCE and MWCNTs-Yb2O3@GCE sensors were used for the analysis of sulfisoxazole (SFX) drug in water samples. The results of CV analysis showed that MWCNTs-REMO@GCE sensors have up to 40-fold higher sensitivity with CeO2 compared to the bare GCE sensor. The estimated values of the limit of detection (LoD) of this electrochemical sensing using MWCNTs-CeO2@GCE and MWCNTs-Yb2O3@GCE electrodes reached 0.4 and 0.7 μM SFX in phosphate buffer pH = 7, respectively. These findings indicate that MWCNTs-REMO@GCE electrodes are potential sensors for analysis of sulfonamide drugs in water and biological samples.

Abstract
The textile processing industry utilizes enormous amounts of water. After the dying process, the wastewater discharged to the environment contains carcinogens, non-biodegradable, toxic, and colored organic materials. This study aimed to develop a nanocomposite material with improved photocatalytic activity to degrade textile dyes and without a need for a post-separation process after the use. For this, nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO NPs) were synthesized by a simple method in aqueous media. Then, NiO-doped polyaniline (PANI/NiO) with efficient absorption in the visible region (optical band gap of 2.08 eV) synthesized on a stainless steel substrate with electropolymerization of aniline in the aqueous media. The photocatalytic activity of PANI/NiO film was also investigated by the degradation of model dyes. Under UV and visible light irradiation, the PANI/NiO film degraded methylene blue and rhodamine B dyes entirely in 30 min. Moreover, the PANI/NiO film was also utilized to degrade real textile wastewater (RTW) without applying any pre-process; it was entirely decomposed by the nanocomposite film in only 45 min under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic reaction rate of the pure PANI film is increased as 2.5 and 1.5 times with the addition of NiO NPs under UV and visible light irradiations for degradation RTW, respectively. The photocatalytic efficiency was attributed to reduced electron-hole pair recombination on the photocatalyst surface. Furthermore, the photocatalytic stability is discussed based on re-use experiments. The photocatalytic performance remains nearly unchanged, and the degradation of dyes is kept 94% after five cycles.
