Sustainable chitosan-based materials as heterogeneous catalyst for application in wastewater treatment and water purification: An up-to-date review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 273:133043. [PMID: 38857728 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/12/2024]
Abstract
Water pollution is one of serious environmental issues due to the rapid development of industrial and agricultural sectors, and clean water resources have been receiving increasing attention. Recently, more and more studies have witnessed significant development of catalysts (metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal-organic frameworks, zero-valent metal, etc.) for wastewater treatment and water purification. Sustainable and clean catalysts immobilized into chitosan-based materials (Cat@CSbMs) are considered one of the most appealing subclasses of functional materials due to their high catalytic activity, high adsorption capacities, non-toxicity and relative stability. This review provides a summary of various upgrading renewable Cat@CSbMs (such as cocatalyst, photocatalyst, and Fenton-like reagent, etc.). As for engineering applications, further researches of Cat@CSbMs should focus on treating complex wastewater containing both heavy metals and organic pollutants, as well as developing continuous flow treatment methods for industrial wastewater using Cat@CSbMs. In conclusion, this review abridges the gap between different approaches for upgrading renewable and clean Cat@CSbMs and their future applications. This will contribute to the development of cleaner and sustainable Cat@CSbMs for wastewater treatment and water purification.

Leaf on a Film: Mesoporous Silica-Based Epoxy Composites with Superhydrophobic Biomimetic Surface Structure as Anti-Corrosion and Anti-Biofilm Coatings. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1673. [PMID: 38932022 PMCID: PMC11207373 DOI: 10.3390/polym16121673] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this study, a series of amine-modified mesoporous silica (AMS)-based epoxy composites with superhydrophobic biomimetic structure surface of Xanthosoma sagittifolium leaves (XSLs) were prepared and applied as anti-corrosion and anti-biofilm coatings. Initially, the AMS was synthesized by the base-catalyzed sol-gel reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and triethoxysilane (APTES) through a non-surfactant templating route. Subsequently, a series of AMS-based epoxy composites were prepared by performing the ring-opening polymerization of DGEBA with T-403 in the presence of AMS spheres, followed by characterization through FTIR, TEM, and CA. Furthermore, a nano-casting technique with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the soft template was utilized to transfer the surface pattern of natural XSLs to AMS-based epoxy composites, leading to the formation of AMS-based epoxy composites with biomimetic structure. From a hydrophilic CA of 69°, the surface of non-biomimetic epoxy significantly increased to 152° upon introducing XSL surface structure to the AMS-based epoxy composites. Based on the standard electrochemical anti-corrosion and anti-biofilm measurements, the superhydrophobic BEAMS3 composite was found to exhibit a remarkable anti-corrosion efficiency of ~99% and antimicrobial efficacy of 82% as compared to that of hydrophilic epoxy coatings.

Abstract
Transition metal compounds (TMCs) have the advantages of abundant reserves, low cost, non-toxic and pollution-free, and have attracted wide attention in recent years. With the development of two-dimensional layered materials, a new two-dimensional transition metal carbonitride (MXene) has attracted extensive attention due to its excellent physicochemical properties such as gas selectivity, photocatalytic properties, electromagnetic interference shielding and photothermal properties. They are widely used in gas sensors, oil/water separation, wastewater and waste-oil treatment, cancer treatment, seawater desalination, strain sensors, medical materials and some energy storage materials. In this view, we aim to emphatically summarize MXene with their properties, applications and their wettability regulation in different applications. In addition, the properties of transition metal oxides (TMOs) and other TMCs and their wettability regulation applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Naturally hierarchical nanostructures of leaves were successfully replicated on thermally stable polyimide (PI) films to obtain biomimetic substrates for the grafting of p-type semiconductor, cuprous oxide (Cu2O). The chemical states of Cu2O and the hydrophobicity on the photocatalytic films were tunable by altering the process time of ion-exchange or chemical reduction. The obtained photocatalytic films showed activity to photocatalytically convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon monoxide (CO) under visible light illumination. The yield of CO was initially improved with the increasing hydrophobicity on the film but then leveled off. The photocatalytic activity could be further improved by tailoring the amount or composition of copper oxides. An optimum ratio of Cu2O and moderate basicity on the surface, as well as more metallic Cu from the bulk, will achieve more efficient interfacial charge transfer, resulting in a higher CO production rate.

Abstract
The traditional methods used to synthesize graphene layers over semiconductors are chemical-based methods. In the present investigation, a novel photoelectroactive electrode was synthesized using a chitosan biopolymer without the usage of chemicals. A chitosan-biopolymer layer over the surface of TiO2 was generated by electrodeposition. Furthermore, the pyrolysis method was used for the conversion of a biopolymer into graphene layers. The catalytic activity of the fabricated electrodes was investigated by the photo-electro-Fenton (PEF) process to oxidize chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater, remove metals (scandium, neodymium, and arsenic) and degrade real municipal wastewater. The PEF operational parameters (pH, voltage, reaction time, and Fenton catalytic dose) were optimized for the overall degradation of chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater. It was observed that at the optimum process operational parameters it took 40 min to degrade chloramphenicol and nadolol pharmaceutical drugs in wastewater. It was proved that biopolymer-based photoelectroactive novel electrodes render good catalytic activity. Furthermore, the reusability study of fabricated electrodes showed excellent storage and self-healing properties.

Abstract
Room-temperature sodium/sulfur battery has raised concern due to the superiority of high theoretical capacity and low cost that promise for large-scale application. However, the sluggish electrochemical activity and "shuttle effect" limits the progress of practical application. This work designs a template method for constructing metal/carbon sulfur host, which possesses metal (Co, Ni) nanoparticles highly distributed in large amounts of porous channels in carbon sphere. The metal nanoparticles assist in sulfur immobilization, electric conductivity and catalyze reaction kinetics, meanwhile the hollow channels can buffer the volume change of sulfur. When testing as the liquid/solid-state room-temperature Na/S batteries, the S@Co/C and S@Ni/C electrodes deliver high capacities and rate capability. This template method possesses utility potential in developing high-powered RT Na/S batteries, which provides possibility to for the preparation of various electrode materials in battery technology.
