[PMID: 37896418 PMCID: PMC10610930 DOI: 10.3390/polym15204174] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/09/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The application of photocatalysis technology in environmental pollution treatment has garnered increasing attention, and enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency and recyclability of photocatalysts represents a pivotal research focus for future endeavors. In this paper, polypyrrole titanium dioxide nanocomposite (PPy-TiO2) was prepared using in situ polymerization method and dispersed in sodium alginate/polyacrylamide (SA/PAM) hydrogel matrix to prepare SA/PAM/PPy-TiO2 nanocomposite hydrogels. The nanocomposite hydrogels were characterized by XPS, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, SEM, and TEM. The results showed that the composite materials were successfully prepared and PPy-TiO2 was uniformly dispersed in the hydrogel matrix. The incorporation of PPy in the SA/PAM/TiO2 composite hydrogel resulted in enhanced visible light absorption, reduced recombination efficiency of photoelectron-hole pairs in TiO2, and facilitated the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) under sunlight irradiation. The photocatalytic efficiency of the composite hydrogel for MB was nearly 100%, whereas for MO, it reached 91.85% after exposure to sunlight for 120 min. In comparison with nano-TiO2 and PPy-TiO2, the SA/PAM/PPy-TiO2 nanocomposite hydrogel exhibited a higher degradation rate of MB and demonstrated ease in separation and recovery from the reaction solution. Furthermore, even after undergoing five cycles of recycling, there was no significant decrease observed in photodegradation efficiency.

Hydrothermal synthesis of a photocatalyst based on Byrsonima crassifolia and TiO 2 for degradation of crystal violet by UV and visible radiation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 231:116280. [PMID: 37257742 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/24/2023] [Accepted: 05/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
This work presents a one-step synthesis methodology for preparing a hydrochar (HC) doped with TiO2 (HC-TiO2) for its application on the degradation of crystal violet (CV) using UV and visible radiation. Byrsonima crassifolia stones were used as precursors along with TiO2 particles. The HC-TiO2 sample was synthesized at 210 °C for 9 h using autogenous pressure. The photocatalyst was characterized to evaluate the TiO2 dispersion, specific surface area, graphitization degree, and band-gap value. Finally, the degradation of CV was investigated by varying the operating conditions of the system, the reuse of the catalyst, and the degradation mechanism. The physicochemical characterization of the HC-TiO2 composite showed good dispersion of TiO2 in the carbonaceous particle. The presence of TiO2 on the hydrochar surface yields a bandgap value of 1.17 eV, enhancing photocatalyst activation with visible radiation. The degradation results evidenced a synergistic effect with both types of radiation due to the hybridized π electrons in the sp2-hybridized structures in the HC surface. The degradation percentages were on average 20% higher using UV radiation than visible radiation under the following conditions: [CV] = 20 mg/L, 1 g/L of photocatalyst load, and pH = 7.0. The reusability experiments demonstrated the feasibility of reusing the HC-TiO2 material up to 5 times with a similar photodegradation percentage. Finally, the results indicated that the HC-TiO2 composite could be considered an efficient material for the photocatalytic treatment of water contaminated with CV.

[PMID: 37304786 PMCID: PMC10251399 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra01744c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of black phosphorus (BP) is a highly challenging proposition. The fabrication of electrospun composite nanofibers (NFs) through the incorporation of modified BP nanosheets (BPNs) into conductive polymeric NFs has been recently introduced as a newer strategy not only to enhance the photocatalytic activity of BPNs but also to overcome their drawbacks including ambient instability, aggregation, and hard recycling, which exist in their nanoscale powdered forms. The proposed composite NFs were prepared through the incorporation of silver (Ag)-modified BPNs, gold (Au)-modified BPNs, and graphene oxide (GO)-modified BPNs into polyaniline/polyacrylonitrile (PANi/PAN) NFs by an electrospinning process. The successful preparation of the modified BPNs and electrospun NFs was confirmed by the characterization techniques of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), and Raman spectroscopy. The pure PANi/PAN NFs exhibited high thermal stability with a main weight loss of ∼23% for the temperature range of 390-500 °C, and the thermal stability of NFs was enhanced after their incorporation with the modified BPNs. The BPNs@GO-incorporated PANi/PAN NFs indicated improved mechanical properties compared to the pure PANi/PAN NFs with tensile strength (TS) of 1.83 MPa and elongation at break (EAB) of 24.91%. The wettability of the composite NFs was measured in the range of 35-36°, which exhibited their good hydrophilicity. The photodegradation performance was found in the sequence of BPNs@GO > BPNs@Au > BPNs@Ag > bulk BP ∼BPNs > red phosphorus (RP) for methyl orange (MO) and in the sequence of BPNs@GO > BPNs@Ag > BPNs@Au > bulk BP > BPNs > RP for methylene blue (MB), accordingly. The composite NFs degraded the MO and MB dyes more efficiently relative to the modified BPNs and pure PANi/PAN NFs.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization (WHO) survey, air pollution has become the major reason of several fatal diseases, which had led to the death of 7 million peoples around the globe. The 9 people out of 10 breathe air, which exceeds WHO recommendations. Several strategies are in practice to reduce the emission of pollutants into the air, and also strict industrial, scientific, and health recommendations to use sustainable green technologies to reduce the emission of contaminants into the air. Photocatalysis technology recently has been raised as a green technology to be in practice towards the removal of air pollutants. The scientific community has passed a long pathway to develop such technology from the material, and reactor points of view. Many classes of photoactive materials have been suggested to achieve such a target. In this context, the contribution of conjugated polymers (CPs), and their modification with some common inorganic semiconductors as novel photocatalysts, has never been addressed in literature till now for said application, and is critically evaluated in this review. As we know that CPs have unique characteristics compared to inorganic semiconductors, because of their conductivity, excellent light response, good sorption ability, better redox charge generation, and separation along with a delocalized π-electrons system. The advances in photocatalytic removal/reduction of three primary air-polluting compounds such as CO2, NOX, and VOCs using CPs based photocatalysts are discussed in detail. Furthermore, the synergetic effects, obtained in CPs after combining with inorganic semiconductors are also comprehensively summarized in this review. However, such a combined system, on to better charges generation and separation, may make the Adsorb & Shuttle process into action, wherein, CPs may play the sorbing area. And, we hope that, the critical discussion on the further enhancement of photoactivity and future recommendations will open the doors for up-to-date technology transfer in modern research.

Abstract
To date, remarkable progress has been achieved in the development of photocatalysts owing to their high activity, selectivity, and tunable light absorption in the visible light range. Recently, heterogeneous photocatalytic systems have emerged as potential candidates due to their beneficial attributes (e.g., high surface area, ease of functionalization and facile separation). Herein, we provide a concise overview of the rational design of heterogeneous photocatalysts by grafting photoactive complexes on heterogeneous support matrices via covalent grafting and their detailed characterization techniques, which have been followed by the landmark examples of their applications. Also, major challenges and opportunities in the forthcoming progress of these appealing areas are emphasised.

Abstract
Food poisoning caused by eating contaminated food remains a threat to global public health. Making the situation even worse is the aggravated global environmental pollution, which poses a major threat to the safety of agricultural resources. Food adulteration has been rampant owing to negligent national food safety regulations. The speed at which contaminated food is detected and disposed of determines the extent to which consumers' lives are safeguarded and agricultural economic losses are prevented. Micro/nanomotors offer a high-speed mobile loading platform that substantially increases the chemical reaction rates and, accordingly, exhibit great potential as alternatives to conventional detection and degradation techniques. This review summarizes the propulsion modes applicable to micro/nanomotors in food systems and the advantages of using micro/nanomotors, highlighting examples of their potential use in recent years for the detection and removal of food contaminants. Micro/nanomotors are an emerging technology for food applications that is moving toward mass production, simple preparation, and important functions.

Abstract
Aqueous contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, dyes, personal care products, etc., are the common water contaminants that show adverse health effects. Photocatalysis is one of the well-known techniques to treat these water contaminants. Currently, most inorganic photocatalysts show a poor balance between adsorption and photocatalytic activity. In addition, heavy metal pollution and low biosafety are significant concerns in photocatalysis. Thus, environmentally friendly photocatalysts are required to avoid the secondary pollution caused by some inorganic semiconductor-photocatalysts. Organic polymer-based photocatalysts are low-cost, stable, non-toxic, and can utilize visible and NIR light for photocatalysis. In this review, we have discussed polypyrrole as a photocatalyst. Polypyrrole is a conducting organic polymer photocatalyst that is highly stable with high charge mobility and strong binding sites for photocatalytic reactions. Besides these advantages, polypyrrole has limitations, such as high charge recombination due to a small bandgap and poor dispersity. So we have explored the modifications to polypyrrole photocatalysts, such as doping and heterojunctions. Further, we have explained the applications of polypyrrole in photocatalysis as an adsorbent, sensitizer, degradation of pollutants, and energy production. Finally, the future aspects of polypyrrole photocatalysis are also explored to improve the path of future research.

Abstract
Enormous research studies on the abatement of anthropogenic aquatic pollutants including organic dyes, pesticides, cosmetics, antibiotics and inorganic species by using varieties of semiconductor photocatalysts have been reported in recent decades. Besides, many of these photocatalysts suffer in real applications owing to their high production cost and low stability. In many cases, the photocatalysts themselves are being considered as secondary pollutants. To eliminate these drawbacks, the green synthesized photocatalysts and the use of biopolymers as photocatalyst supports are considered in recent years. In this context, recent developments in green synthesized metals, metal oxides, other metal compounds, and carbon based photocatalysts in water purification are critically reviewed. Furthermore, the pivotal role of biopolymers including chitin, chitosan, cellulose, natural gum, hydroxyapatite, alginate in photocatalytic removal of aquatic pollutants is comprehensively reviewed. The presence of functional groups, electron trapping ability, biocompatibility, natural occurrence, and low production cost are the major reasons for using biopolymers in photocatalysis. Finally, the summary and conclusion are presented along with existing challenges in this research area.
