Abstract
In this work, we studied new materials free of noble metals that are active in photocatalytic H2 generation from ethanol aqueous solutions (EtOHaq), which can be obtained from biomass. MoxC/g-C3N4 photocatalysts containing hexagonal (hcp) Mo2C and/or cubic (fcc) MoC nanoparticles on g-C3N4 nanosheets were prepared, characterized, and evaluated for photocatalytic hydrogen production from EtOHaq (25% v/v). Tailored MoxC/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with MoxC crystallite sizes in the 4-37 nm range were prepared by treatment with ultrasound of dispersions containing MoxC and g-C3N4 nanosheets, formerly synthesized. The characterization of the resulting nanocomposites, MoxC/g-C3N4, by different techniques, including photoelectrochemical measurements, allowed us to relate the photocatalytic performance of materials with the characteristics of the MoxC phase integrated onto g-C3N4. The samples containing smaller hcp Mo2C crystallites showed better photocatalytic performance. The most performant nanocomposite contained nanoparticles of both hcp Mo2C and fcc MoC and produced 27.9 mmol H2 g-1 Mo; this sample showed the lowest recombination of photogenerated charges, the highest photocurrent response, and the lowest electron transfer resistance, which can be related to the presence of MoC-Mo2C heterojunctions. Moreover, this material allows for easy reusability. This work provides new insights for future research on noble-metal-free g-C3N4-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Melanoma, the most aggressive and life-threatening form of skin cancer, lacks innovative therapeutic approaches and deeper bioinformation. In this study, we developed a photothermal therapy (PTT) based on Mo2C nanosheets to eliminate melanoma while utilizing integrated metabolomics to investigate the metabolic shift of metabolome combined lipidome during PTT at the molecular level. Our results demonstrated that 1 mg ml-1 Mo2C nanosheets could efficiently convert laser energy into heat with a strong and stable photothermal effect (74 ± 0.9 °C within 7 cycles). Furthermore, Mo2C-based PTT led to a rapid decrease in melanoma volume (from 3.299 to 0 cm2) on the sixth day, indicating the effective elimination of melanoma. Subsequent integrated metabolomics analysis revealed significant changes in aqueous metabolites (including organic acids, amino acids, fatty acids, and amines) and lipid classes (including phospholipids, lysophospholipids, and sphingolipids), suggesting that melanoma caused substantial fluctuations in both metabolome and lipidome, while Mo2C-based PTT helped improve amino acid metabolism-related biological events (such as tryptophan metabolism) impaired by melanoma. These findings suggest that Mo2C nanosheets hold significant potential as an effective therapeutic agent for skin tumors, such as melanoma. Moreover, through exploring multidimensional bioinformation, integrated metabolomics technology provides novel insights for studying the metabolic effects of tumors, monitoring the correction of metabolic abnormalities by Mo2C nanosheet therapy, and evaluating the therapeutic effect on tumors.

Abstract
Developing highly active and robust oxygen catalysts is of great significance for the commercialization of Zn-air batteries (ZABs) with long-life stability. Herein, heterostructured catalysts comprising molybdenum carbide and metallic Co are prepared by a simple dicyandiamide-assisted pyrolysis strategy. Importantly, the crystalline phase of molybdenum carbide in the catalysts can be carefully regulated by adjusting the CoMo-imidazole precursor and dicyandiamide ratio. The electronic configuration of Co and Mo centers as well as the phase-dependent oxygen reduction reaction performance of these heterostructures (β-Mo2C/Co, β-Mo2C/η-MoC/Co, and η-MoC/Co) was disclosed. A highly active η-MoC/Co cathode enables ZABs with outstanding long-term stability over 850 h with a low voltage decaying rate of 0.06 mV·h-1 and high peak power density of 162 mW·cm-2. This work provides a new idea for the rational design of efficient and stable cathode catalysts for ZABs.

Abstract
Transition metal phosphides have emerged as compelling alternatives to noble metal catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, owing to their high efficiency, stability, ease of preparation, and low-cost-effectiveness. This study investigates a series of binary and ternary phosphides predominantly composed of cobalt and nickel employed for photocatalytic dye-sensitized hydrogen evolution. Under the optimal dye-to-catalyst mass ratio, CoNiP exhibited the highest hydrogen evolution activity (12.96 mmol g-1 h-1), demonstrating more significant and satisfactory performance than a variety of other reported materials. This can be attributed to the high conductivity and low hydrogen evolution overpotential of phosphides, which result from their metallic characteristics and the presence of free electrons, which promote efficient electron transfer between the catalyst and sensitizer. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the cobalt incorporation into the binary phosphides causes a negative shift in the average d-band center for CoNiP, weakening the adsorption affinity of the catalyst towards H2 molecules, thus effectively improving the hydrogen evolution rate compared to the pure binary phosphides. This work provides valuable insights for the development of low-cost and high-performance ternary phosphide photocatalysts.

Abstract
Efficient utilization of infrared (IR) light, which occupies almost half of the solar energy, is an important but challenging task in solar-to-fuel transformation. Herein, we report the discovery of CuS@ZnS core@shell nanocrystals (CSNCs) with strong localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) characteristics in the IR light region showing enhanced photocatalytic activity in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A unique "plasmon-induced defect-mediated carrier transfer" (PIDCT) at the heterointerfaces of the CSNCs divulged by time-resolved transient spectroscopy enables producing a high quantum yield of 29.2%. The CuS@ZnS CSNCs exhibit high activity and stability in H2 evolution under near-IR light irradiation. The HER rate of CuS@ZnS CSNCs at 26.9 μmol h-1 g-1 is significantly higher than those of CuS NCs (0.4 μmol h-1 g-1) and CuS/ZnS core/satellite heterostructured NCs (15.6 μmol h-1 g-1). The PIDCT may provide a viable strategy for the tuning of LSPR-generated carrier kinetics through controlling the defect engineering to improve photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbides (MoC and Mo2C) are being reported for various applications, for example, catalysts for sustainable energies, nonlinear materials for laser applications, protective coatings for improving tribological performance, and so on. A one-step method for simultaneously fabricating molybdenum monocarbide (MoC) nanoparticles (NPs) and MoC surfaces with a laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) was developed by using pulsed laser ablation of a molybdenum (Mo) substrate in hexane. Spherical NPs with an average diameter of 61 nm were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The X-ray diffraction pattern and electron diffraction (ED) pattern results indicate that a face-centered cubic MoC was successfully synthesized for the NPs and on the laser-irradiated area. Notably, the ED pattern suggests that the observed NPs are nanosized single crystals, and a carbon shell was observed on the surface of MoC NPs. The X-ray diffraction pattern of both MoC NPs and LIPSS surface indicates the formation of FCC MoC, agreeing with the results of ED. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy also showed the bonding energy attributed to Mo-C, and the sp2-sp3 transition was confirmed on the LIPSS surface. The results of Raman spectroscopy have also supported the formation of MoC and amorphous carbon structures. This simple synthesis method for MoC may provide new possibilities for preparing Mo x C-based devices and nanomaterials, which may contribute to the development of catalytic, photonic, and tribological fields.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation have emerged as promising strategies to remedy the existing environmental and energy crises. However, grafting of expensive and less abundant noble-metal cocatalysts on photocatalyst materials is a mandatory practice to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance owing to the ability of the cocatalysts to extract electrons efficiently from the photocatalyst and enable rapid/enhanced catalytic reaction. Hence, developing highly efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements is considered as a noteworthy step toward considering photocatalysis as a more economical strategy. Recently, MXenes (two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have shown huge potential as alternatives for noble-metal cocatalysts. MXenes have several excellent properties, including atomically thin 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. In addition, they exhibit Gibbs free energy of intermediate H atom adsorption as close to zero and less than that of a commercial Pt-based cocatalyst, a Fermi level position above the H2 generation potential, and an excellent ability to capture and activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, there is a growing interest in MXene-based photocatalyst materials for various photocatalytic events. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the synthesis of MXenes with 2D and 0D morphologies, the stability of MXenes, and MXene-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. The existing challenges and the possible future directions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MXene-based photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
Fibromyalgia (FM), the most common cause of chronic musculoskeletal pain in the general public, lacks advanced therapeutic methodology and detailed bioinformation. However, acting as a newly developed and important transition metal carbide or carbonitride, the Mo2C nanozyme has provided a novel iatrotechnique with excellent bioactivity in a cell/animal model, which also exhibits potential prospects for future clinical applications. In addition, high-content and high-throughput integrated metabolomics (including aqueous metabolomics, lipidomics, and desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging) also specializes in qualitative and quantitative analysis of metabolic shifts at the molecular level. In this work, the FM-alleviation effect of Mo2C nanozyme was investigated through integrated metabolomics in a mouse model. An advanced platform combining gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and bioinformatics was utilized to study the variation in the mouse metabolome and lipidome. The results revealed that Mo2C treatment could effectively enhance energy metabolism-related biological events impaired by FM, leading to homeostasis of oxidative stress and energy metabolism toward the control levels. During this process, Mo2C facilitated the elimination of ROS in plasma and cells and the rehabilitation of mice from oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. It was believed that such an integrated metabolomics study on the FM-alleviation effect of Mo2C nanozyme could provide another excellent alternative to traditional Mo2C-based research with numerous pieces of bioinformation, further supporting research area innovation, material modification, and clinical application.

Abstract
Today, a major concern associated with the environment is the water pollution occurred due to the introduction of variety of persistent organic pollutants and residual dyes from different sources (e.g., dye and dye intermediates industries, paper and pulp industries, textile industries, tannery and craft bleaching industries, pharmaceutical industries, etc.) into our natural water resources. Recently, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) by photocatalyst have garnered great attention as a new frontier promising eco-friendly and sustainable wastewater treatment technology. Utilization of the photocatalytic technology efficiently is significant for cleaner environment. Bismuth based photocatalyst have aroused widespread attention as a visible light responsive photocatalyst for waste water treatment due to their non-toxicity, low cost, modifiable morphology, and outstanding optical and chemical properties. In this review, we have dealt with the research progress on bismuth-based photocatalysts for waste water treatment. However, it seems to give limitation over pristine photocatalysts such as slow migration of charge carriers, charge carrier recombination, low visible light absorption, etc., Various bismuth based photocatalyst and its modifications via doping, heterojunction, Z-scheme etc., are discussed in detail. Further, the strategies adopted to improve the photocatalytic activity of bismuth based photocatalyst to improve the waste water treatment (mostly drugs and dyes) are critically reviewed. Also, we have discussed the bacterial inactivation by bismuth based photocatalyst. Finally, the challenges and future aspects against bismuth based photocatalyst are explored for further research.

Abstract
Herein, photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin hydrochloride (LVF) by a simple surface hydroxyl strategy on BiOBr photocatalyst was studied under simulated visible light irradiation. Interestingly, the BiOBr contained abundant hydroxyl groups following its modification with glucose, which enhanced the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin hydrochloride (LVF). The degradation efficiency of LVF over the optimized composite of BiOBr-5 could reach 91.67% in 20 min, which was much higher than that of pristine BiOBr (59.26%). Following, the biotoxicity of antibiotics to Escherichia coli DH5a could be eliminated after LVF photocatalytic degradation. This strategy proposed in this work can provide new ideas for tuning the surface structures of photocatalysts via specific functional groups for the highly efficient degradation and efficient removal of antibiotics in wastewater.

Lignocellulosic biomass derived N-doped and CoO-loaded carbocatalyst used as highly efficient peroxymonosulfate activator for ciprofloxacin degradation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 610:221-233. [PMID: 34922078 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2021.11.196] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/30/2021] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
Burning lignocellulosic biomass wastes in an outdoor atmosphere has placed heavy burden on ecological environment and increased risk on human health. Converting solid agricultural wastes into functional materials is a research hotspot. In this study, N-doped and CoO-loaded carbocatalyst (CoO-N/BC) was successfully synthesized from the cotton stalk biomass via a simple synthesis process of impregnation and carbonization. Compared with cotton stalk biomass derived pristine biochar, the CoO-N/BC possessed a higher specific surface area (466.631 m2 g-1vs 286.684 m2 g-1) as well as a better catalytic performance in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for CIP degradation. The superior catalytic efficiency was ascribed to the directional flow of electrons on the well-organized carbon network of CoO-N/BC, which accelerated electron migration and improved electron conduction ability. Based on the results of radical quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), both radical and non-radical process conjointly led to the stepwise decomposition of CIP, and singlet oxygen (1O2) mediated non-radical pathway was discovered to play a dominant role. Besides, the carbon-bridge mediated non-radical pathway was proved to accelerate this degradation process through the experiments of prolong the time of adding CIP at different time intervals. Nitrogen doped sites and CoO active sites as well as defects formed in sp2-hybridized carbon network were supposed to be the active sites for PMS. Furthermore, EIS and LSV were employed to confirm the electron transfer mediated non-radical process of reaction system. This work provides a modified strategy for the disposition of lignocellulosic biomass wastes and illuminates the underlying mechanism of heterogeneous catalysis by CoO-N/BC.

Abstract
Photocatalytic solar energy transformation is the most encouraging solution to alleviate the environmental crisis and energy scarcity. Bismuth oxyhalide (BiOX) is an emerging class of materials that exhibits photocatalytic properties, such as resilient response to light, which causes enhanced energy conversion (solar energy) owing to their exceptional layered structure and attractive band structure. The present review presents a summary of results from the recent developments on the tuning and design of BiOX-based materials to improve the energy conversion. In particular, the preparation and tuning approaches that have the potential to enhance the photocatalytic behavior of BiOX and some other techniques, such as elemental doping, are addressed, which prevent the rapid recombination of charges, and formation of oxygen vacancies, facilitating an improvement in the photocatalytic reaction. Various frameworks are also presented, displaying the significance of BiOX-based nanocomposites. Finally, the main challenges and opportunities associated with the future progress of BiOX-based materials are presented. This review will provide an extended understanding and offer a preferred direction for the innovative design of BiOX-based materials for environmental and especially energy-based applications.

Abstract
Transition metal carbides are attracting growing attention as robust and affordable alternative heterogeneous catalysts to platinum group metals, for a host of contemporary and established hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and isomerisation reactions. In particular, the metastable α-MoC1-x phase has been shown to exhibit interesting catalytic properties for low temperature processes reliant on O-H and C-H bond activation. While demonstrating exciting catalytic properties, a significant challenge exists in the application of metastable carbides, namely the challenging procedure for their preparation. In this review we will briefly discuss the properties and catalytic applications of α-MoC1-x, followed by a more detailed discussion on available synthesis methods and important parameters that influence carbide properties. Techniques are contrasted with properties of phase, surface area, morphology and Mo:C being considered. Further, we briefly relate these observations to experimental and theoretical studies of α-MoC1-x in catalytic applications. Synthetic strategies discussed are, the original temperature programmed ammonolysis followed by carburisation, alternative oxycarbide or hydrogen bronze precursor phases, heat treatment of moybdate-amide compounds and other low temperature synthetic routes. The importance of carbon removal and catalyst passivation in relation to surface and bulk properties are also discussed. Novel techniques that by-pass the apparent bottle neck of ammonolysis are reported, however a clear understanding of intermediate phases is required to be able to fully apply these techniques. Pragmatically, the scaled application of these techniques requires the pre-pyrolysis wet chemistry to be simple and scalable. Further, there is a clear opportunity to correlate observed morphologies/phases and catalytic properties with findings from computational theoretical studies. Detailed characterisation throughout the synthetic process is essential and will undoubtedly provide fundamental insights that can be used for the controllable and scalable synthesis of metastable α-MoC1-x.

Abstract
Cationic and anionic heavy metal contamination sometimes co-exists in soil systems, such as mining areas and shooting ranges, seriously threatens human health and ecological stability. In this study, iron-modified rice husk hydrochar showed commendable ability to immobilize both heavy metal cation (Pb) and anion (Sb) simultaneously in soils. Iron-modified rice husk hydrochar (HC12.5-180) (5%) amendment reduced the bioavailability (EX- and CB-fraction) of Pb and Sb by 25 and 40%, respectively, which were 8 and 5 times higher than that of pristine rice husk hydrochar (HC0-180) (5%) amendment. The cation (Pb) immobilization mainly depends on cation exchange with mineral components (K+, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+), precipitation with nonmetallic anions (Cl- and SO42-), and complexation. Meanwhile, the iron oxides (FeO, Fe2O3, Fe3O4), formed during hydrothermal process, can be easily combined with anion (Sb) to form geochemically stable minerals. In conclusion, this work offered a practical and cost-effective technology based on the iron modification rice husk hydrochar for the immobilization of both anionic and cationic heavy metal contaminants in soils.

Abstract
MOF-5 has been criticized for its poor water stability, which results in complete damage of its traditional functionality. Therefore, there are very few researches about the further application of hydrolyzed MOF-5 (h-M). However, in this work, the h-M can function as both superior support and semiconductor for photocatalytic reaction after a water-based process. Herein, a rational design of Zn0.2Cd0.8S@h-MOF-5 (ZCS@h-M) heterojunction photocatalyst has been synthesized via a hydrothermal method with different mass ratio of ZCS. As demonstrated in the results of SEM and TEM, during the hydrothermal process, MOF-5 exfoliated into two-dimensional small sheets and ZCS nanoparticles embedded into h-M frameworks, which is in favor for the dispersion of ZCS and better interface connection, thus further boosts the migration of photogenerated charge carriers and protect the photocorrosion of ZCS, ultimately improves the photocatalytic hydrogen production. Optimal ZCS content of 10 wt% exhibited a significantly enhanced visible light photocatalytic hydrogen production efficiency of 15.08 mmol h-1 g-1, which far surpassed bare ZCS at 7.62 times. Furthermore, the ZCS@h-M showed outstanding stability during photocatalytic hydrogen production over a number of cycles.

Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis is a promising technology to tackle refractory antibiotics contamination in water. Herein, a facile in situ growth strategy is developed to implant single-atom cobalt in polymeric carbon nitride (pCN) via the bidentate ligand for efficient photocatalytic degradation of oxytetracycline (OTC). The atomic characterizations indicate that single-atom cobalt is successfully anchored on pCN by covalently forming the CoO bond and CoN bond, which will strengthen the interaction between single-atom cobalt and pCN. This single-atom cobalt can efficiently expand optical absorption, increase electron density, facilitate charge separation and transfer, and promote OTC degradation. As the optimal sample, Co(1.28%)pCN presents an outstanding apparent rate constant for OTC degradation (0.038 min-1 ) under visible light irradiation, which is about 3.7 times than that of the pristine pCN. The electron spin resonance (ESR) tests and reactive species trapping experiments demonstrate that the 1 O2 , h+ , •O2- , and •OH are responsible for OTC degradation. This work develops a new way to construct single-atom-modified pCN and provides a green and highly efficient strategy for refractory antibiotics removal.
