[PMID: 38311081 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.170530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
Chalcopyrite, renowned for its distinctive mixed redox-couple characteristics, exhibits excellent electron transfer properties both on its surface and within its crystal structure. This unique characteristic has attracted significant attention in various fields, including optics, electronics, and magnetism, as well as demonstrated remarkable catalytic efficacy in the environmental field. The rapid and effective electron transfer capability of a catalyst is crucial for advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). However, the performance of CuFeS2 in AOPs is hindered by its low electron transfer efficacy. This review aims to summarize the key steps and mechanisms of chalcopyrite-induced AOPs and provide strategies for enhancing effective electron transfer efficacies by controlling the structure and function of synthetic/natural chalcopyrite. These strategies include enhancing the catalytic performance of chalcopyrite and constructing composites to enhance catalytic activity (e.g., chelating agents, heterojunctions). Additionally, the factors influencing the generation of reactive oxygen species in chalcopyrite-induced AOPs are investigated, such as the types and properties of oxidants (e.g., H2O2, peroxymonocarbonate), the microstructure of catalysts, and reaction conditions in catalytic systems (e.g., pH values, dosage, temperature). Future perspectives on the applications of chalcopyrite are presented at the end of this paper. Overall, this review assists in narrowing the scope of chalcopyrite studies in AOPs and aids researchers in optimizing synthetic/natural catalysts for contaminant treatment.

Abstract
I-III-VI2 group quantum dots (QDs) have attracted high attention in photoelectronic conversion applications, especially for QD-sensitized solar cells (QDSSCs). This group of QDs has become the mainstream light-harvesting material in QDSSCs due to the ability to tune their electronic properties through size, shape, and composition and the ability to assemble the nanocrystals on the surface of TiO2. Moreover, these nanocrystals can be produced relatively easily via cost-effective solution-based synthetic methods and are composed of low-toxicity elements, which favors their integration into the market. This review describes the methods developed to prepare I-III-VI2 QDs (AgInS2 and CuInS2 were excluded) and control their optoelectronic properties to favor their integration into QDSSCs. Strategies developed to broaden the optoelectronic response and decrease the surface-defect states of QDs in order to promote the fast electron injection from QDs into TiO2 and achieve highly efficient QDSSCs will be described. Results show that heterostructures obtained after the sensitization of TiO2 with I-III-VI2 QDs could outperform those of other QDSSCs. The highest power-conversion efficiency (15.2%) was obtained for quinary Cu-In-Zn-Se-S QDs, along with a short-circuit density (JSC) of 26.30 mA·cm-2, an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 802 mV and a fill factor (FF) of 71%.

Abstract
Photocatalysis driven by solar energy is a feasible strategy to alleviate energy crises and environmental problems. In recent years, significant progress has been made in developing advanced photocatalysts for efficient solar-to-chemical energy conversion. Single-atom catalysts have the advantages of highly dispersed active sites, maximum atomic utilization, unique coordination environment, and electronic structure, which have become a research hotspot in heterogeneous photocatalysis. This paper introduces the potential supports, preparation, and characterization methods of single-atom photocatalysts in detail. Subsequently, the fascinating effects of single-atom photocatalysts on three critical steps of photocatalysis (the absorption of incident light to produce electron-hole pairs, carrier separation and migration, and interface reactions) are analyzed. At the same time, the applications of single-atom photocatalysts in energy conversion and environmental protection (CO2 reduction, water splitting, N2 fixation, organic macromolecule reforming, air pollutant removal, and water pollutant degradation) are systematically summarized. Finally, the opportunities and challenges of single-atom catalysts in heterogeneous photocatalysis are discussed. It is hoped that this work can provide insights into the design, synthesis, and application of single-atom photocatalysts and promote the development of high-performance photocatalytic systems.

Abstract
Aqueous hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) treatment and chromium resource recovery toward Cr-containing wastes are of significant importance and necessity to both wastewater remediation and resource recovery. Herein, via mild photoreaction conditions with isopropanol (IPA) as an electron donor, a catalyst-free strategy for aqueous Cr(VI) extraction to form an insoluble polyhydroxy Cr(V) complex is developed for the first time. Aqueous Cr(VI) with concentration from 5 to 150 ppm can be efficiently extracted with high selectivity even in the presence of coexisting ions, and the total Cr concentration in residue solution can be as low as 0.5 ppm. The Cr resource could be efficiently recovered as pure Cr2O3 by calcinating the resulting Cr(V) precipitate. Outstanding extraction efficiency could be realized with various IPA concentrations (1.3-12.0 mol/L) by coordinately tuning the pH value to promote the formation of Cr(VI)-IPA ester. The formed ester undergoes intramolecular electron transition under visible light irradiation, resulting in a polyhydroxy solid-state Cr(V) intermediate complex. The controlled pH value blocks further reduction of Cr(V) to soluble Cr(III); thus the insoluble Cr(V) intermediate complex is stabilized thermodynamically under ambient conditions. Because of its electric neutrality property and the strong intermolecule interaction via hydrogen bonds, a dioxo-bridged di-nuclear Cr(V) complex {Cr2(μ-O)2(OH)4[OCH(CH3)2]2} is finally precipitated as the main product. Satisfactory extraction and recovery of Cr from chromium-plating wastewater and discarded stainless steel verify that this approach is ideal for both one-step purification of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater and selective resource recovery from Cr-containing solid wastes in practical application.

Abstract
Developing a low-cost and efficient photocatalysts activated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for organic pollutants degradation are recognized as an importance way for dealing with environmental pollution. In this work, Fe-rectorite catalyst was synthesized by a simple impregnation-calcine method to synergetic photo activate PMS for antibiotics degradation. As expected, the Fe-rectorite/PMS/Light system exhibits superior catalytic performance for tetracycline (TC) removal, which achieving 96.4% removal rate of TC (30 mg/L) under light within 60 min. Fe-retorite has better degradation performance for TC than rectorite under photo-mediation. The enhancement of the degradation performance of TC by Fe-retorite can be attributed to the improvement of the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes in the rectorite by the loading of Fe2O3, and the accelerated active Fe(Ⅱ)/Fe(Ⅲ) cycle on the surface under photo-mediation. The large specific surface area and abundant hydroxyl groups of rectorite can also provide active sites for PMS activation. The quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test were indicated that the h+, SO4•-, •OH, and O2-• all contributed to TC degradation. And the possible degradation pathway was proposed by LC-MS. This work helps induced a novel direction that design green, efficient, and recyclable heterogeneous catalysts to synergetic photoinduced PMS activation for enhanced degradation of TC.
