Abstract
MXene-based photocatalytic membranes provide significant benefits for wastewater treatment by effectively combining membrane separation and photocatalytic degradation processes. MXene represents a pioneering 2D photocatalyst with a variable elemental composition, substantial surface area, abundant surface terminations, and exceptional photoelectric performance, offering significant advantages in producing high-performance photocatalytic membranes. In this review, an in-depth overview of the latest scientific progress in MXene-based photocatalytic membranes is provided. Initially, a brief introduction to the structure and photocatalytic capabilities of MXene is provided, highlighting their pivotal role in promoting the photocatalytic process. Subsequently, in pursuit of the optimal MXene-based photocatalytic membrane, critical factors such as the morphology, hydrophilicity, and stability of MXenes are meticulously taken into account. Various preparation strategies for MXene-based photocatalytic membranes, including blending, vacuum filtration, and dip coating, are also discussed. Furthermore, the application and mechanism of MXene-based photocatalytic membranes in micropollutant removal, oil-water separation, and antibacterial are examined. Lastly, the challenges in the development and practical application of MXene-based photocatalytic membranes, as well as their future research direction are delineated.

Simultaneous naphthalene degradation and electricity production in a biowaste-powered microbial fuel cell. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 340:139985. [PMID: 37640217 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139985] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 07/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
Naphthalene is a very common and hazardous environmental pollutant, and its biodegradation has received serious attention. As demonstrated in this study, naphthalene-contaminated wastewater can be biodegraded using a microbial fuel cell (MFC). Furthermore, the potential of MFC for electricity generation appears to be a promising technology to meet energy demands other than those produced from fossil fuels. Nowadays, efforts are being made to improve the overall performance of MFC by integrating biowaste materials for anode fabrication. In this study, palm kernel shell waste was used to produce palm kernel shell-derived graphene oxide (PKS-GO) and palm kernel shell-derived reduced graphene oxide (PKS-rGO), which were then fabricated into anode electrodes to improve the system's electron mobilization and transport. The MFC configuration with the PKS-rGO anode demonstrated greater energy production potential, with a maximum power density of 35.11 mW/m2 and a current density of 101.76 mA/m2, compared to the PKS-GO anode, which achieved a maximum power density of 17.85 mW/m2 and a current density of 72.56 mA/m2. Furthermore, there is simultaneous naphthalene biodegradation with energy production, where the biodegradation efficiency of naphthalene with PKS-rGO and PKS-GO is 85.5%, and 79.7%, respectively. In addition, the specific capacitance determined from the cyclic voltammetry curve revealed a value for PKS-rGO of 2.23 × 10-4 F/g, which is also higher than the value for PKS-GO (1.57 × 10-4 F/g) on the last day of operation. Anodic microbial analysis shows that electrogens thrive in the MFC process. Finally, a comparison with previous literature and the future prospects of the study are also presented.

Abstract
Developing high-performance biocathodes remain one of the most challenging aspects of the microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system and the primary factor limiting its output. Herein, a hollow porous carbon (PC) fabricated with MXenes coated over an electrode was developed for MES systems to facilitate the direct delivery of CO2 to microorganisms colonized. The result highlighted that MXene@PC (Ti3C2Tx@PC) has a surface area of 434 m2/g. The Ti3C2Tx@PC MES cycle shows that in cycle 4 and cycle 5, the values are -309.2 and -352.3. Cyclic voltammetry showed that the coated electrode current response (mA) increased from -4.5 to -20.2. The substantial redox peaks of Ti3C2Tx@PC biofilms are displayed at -741, -516, and -427 mV vs Ag/AgCl, suggesting an enhanced electron transfer owing to the Ti3C2Tx@PC complex coating. Additionally, more active sites enhanced mass transfer and microbial development, resulting in a 46% rise in butyrate compared to the uncoated control. These findings demonstrate the value of PC modification as a method for MES-based product selection.

Polydopamine/polypyrrole-modified graphite felt enhances biocompatibility for electroactive bacteria and power density of microbial fuel cell. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 313:137388.

Abstract
The interactions between the microbes and the surface of an anode play an important role in capturing the respiratory electrons from bacteria in a microbial fuel cell (MFC). The chemical and electrochemical characteristics of the carbon material affect biofilm growth and direct electron transfer in MFCs. This study examined the electrodeposition of polydopamine (PDA) and polypyrrole (PPY) on graphite felt electrode (GF). The MFC with the modified PDA/PPY-GF reached 920 mW/m2, which was 1.5, 1.17, and 1.18 times higher than those of the GF, PDA-GF, and PPY-GF, respectively. PDA has superior hydrophilicity and adhesive force biofilm formation, while PPY provides electrochemically active sites for microbial electron transfer. Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements, and contact angle analysis revealed the enhanced physicochemical properties of the carbon electrode. These results show that co-doped PDA/PPY provides a strategy for electroactive biofilm development and improves the bioelectrochemical performance in realistic MFC reactors.

Abstract
In this study, covalent/metal organic framework and two-dimensional material (COF-300/ZIF-8@Ti3AlC2) were composited by a three-step distributed feed method for cathode catalyst in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). The growth of irregular cube-like COF-300/ZIF-8 on the Ti3AlC2 substrate was observed. Al, Zn, Ti, N, C and O elements were observed uniformly and more active sites were offered through it. The external output voltage of COF-300/ZIF-8@Ti3AlC2-MFC was 576 mV and this could be almost unchanged for 9 days. The external output power density was 587.01 mW/m2, and that was 1.25 times of COF-300@Ti3AlC2-MFC (469.30 mW/m2) and 1.67 times of COF-300/ZIF-8-MFC (352.09 mW/m2). Ti3AlC2 enhanced the electrical conductivity of the composite by its rich surface functional groups and much more surface active sites. COF-300/ZIF-8 mixture improved the instability and disorder of the monomer. This study would supply technical support for the expanded request of composite materials in microbial electrochemistry.

Abstract
In this study, Ti3C2 MXene nanofragments with a size distribution of about 20 nm were laden on the well-characterized bacteriophages via electrostatic bonding, introducing a new antibacterial agent as a modified virus vector to be used in high-risk bacterial environment. At > MIC of MXene, the MXene-functionalized bacteriophage would be much more active in attacking the bacteria because of the high specificity for host receptors' recognition and targeting ability of bacteriophage and bacterial surface negative charge when comparing to the phage alone. Also, the induced positive surface moieties drive MXene nanofragments toward the negative surface charge of bacteria. The main mechanisms are the specific targeting capacity of bacteriophages, often by lysing the host and bursting out, and the physical interaction of MXene nanofragments with the bacterial cell membrane, which may rupture the cell wall in microbial death. The results described that the Ti3C2 MXene significantly enhanced the bacteriophage adsorption rate and stability over long-standing cultivation in aquatic environments providing superior antibacterial efficacy against the bacterial cells target. The Ti3C2 MXene-laden bacteriophage demonstrated a fast, efficient attaching to bacterial host cells, high antibacterial potential, and reduced 99.99% of the artificial contamination in water samples. Interestingly, no re-growth of target bacteria was observed in the samples during the experiment period, and the count of bacteria constantly remained below the detection threshold. This research raises attention in proposing a novel antibacterial agent to be synthesized through a simple one-step technique devoid of shortcomings of post-treatments in conventional antibacterial treatments.
