Abstract
In this study, a Fe3O4@SiO2@Cyt-Ni/Cu nanocomposite as a novel heterogeneous bimetallic catalyst was synthesized which exhibits efficient performance for the Sonogashira and C-N cross-coupling reactions. The characterization of the catalyst was studied by FT-IR, PXRD, VSM, EDX, TEM, FE-SEM and TGA analyses. The geometry optimization and relative energies of the designed bimetallic complexes were theoretically determined using density functional theory (DFT) calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G**/LANL2DZ level. The catalyst showed good activity in the coupling of various aryl halides with alkynes (Sonogashira reaction) as well as aryl halide with N-heterocycles and achieved coupling products with good to high yields for all of them in a short time. The high catalytic performance could be due to the synergistic effect between Ni and Cu, which causes the reaction to proceed more efficiently. This heterogeneous nanocatalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture with an external magnet and reused for 7 consecutive runs with minimal loss of catalytic activity.

Abstract
In this work, facile fabrication of lignin nanoparticles (LNP)-based three-dimensional reduced graphene oxide hydrogel (rGO@LNP) has been demonstrated as a novel strategy for environmental applications. Herein, LNP were facilely synthesized from walnut shell waste through a direct chemical route. These LNP were incorporated into the continuous porous network of rGO network to fabricate rGO@LNP hydrogel. Characterization studies were carried out using various analytical techniques viz. scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The efficiency of rGO@LNP hydrogel as adsorptive platform was evaluated by employing methylene blue and Pb2+ as model pollutants, whilst the effect of various experimental parameters was ascertained for optimal performance. Furthermore, Agar well diffusion method was used to check the antibacterial activities of the hydrogel using two bacterial pathogenic strains, i.e. Klebsiella pneumoniae (gram negative) and Enterococcus faecalis (gram positive). Results showed that after the inclusion of LNP into rGO hydrogel, there was a marked improvement in pollutant's uptake ability and compared to bare LNP and rGO, the composite hydrogel showed enhanced bactericidal effect. Overall, this approach is outstanding because of the synergy of functional properties of nano-lignin and rGO due to multi-interaction sites in the resulting hydrogel. The results presented herein support the application of rGO@LNP as innovative water filter material for scavenging broad spectrum pollutants and bactericidal properties.

Abstract
The evolution and development of solid-matrix are considered a backbone for supporting and stabilizing of metal nanoparticles (NPs) and are the soul of the catalytic system. In the current study, the alginate-starch microsphere (Alg-St) was cross-linked using CaCl2 as a cross-linker. In addition, the Alg-St microsphere was blended with different percentages of activated carbon (AC). The microspheres adsorbed Cu+2 was reduced to zero-valent copper NPs through NaBH4 and used as a dip-catalyst. The supported Cu NPs cum NaBH4 system was used as dip-catalyst for the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4NP), 2-nitroanilline (2NA), and degradation of methylene blue (MB) and Congo red (CR) dyes. Among the different kinetics models, the experimental data were well-fitted in the zero-order kinetic model. Moreover pH, and recyclability were studied for 4NP, where the best activity was achieved at pH 7.0 for 4NP. No leaching was observed after 3rd cycle in the catalyst.

Abstract
Water pollution has increased with the growth of human population and its industrial activities. Textile effluents constitute a particular threat due to the presence of heavy metals and dyes. Adsorption is one of the most applied technologies in contaminant removal owing to its high efficiency, low cost, practical implementation and possibility to operate in several experimental conditions. However, this process implies the generation of spent materials, representing a limitation to scale-up. Although the applications of exhausted solids in effluent treatments have not been extensively reviewed before, their reutilization appears to be an environmentally and economically attainable alternative. This work summarizes the potential value of solids post-use. The open literature reports that spent adsorbents based on polysaccharides with iron oxides may adsorb up to 1 g g-1 of organic pollutants and up to near 100% of metallic ions from wastewater (Cu2+, Cd2+, Zn2+, Pb2+). The studied conditions vary from 30 to 60 °C, 0,05 to 6 g L-1 of adsorbent, 10 mg L-1 to 250 mg L-1 of organic pollutants (dyes) and pH between 2 and 8. Spent adsorbents in dye removal have proven to have near 95% efficiency in metallic ion adsorption. Otherwise, the spent solids could be applied to remove Ca2+ and Mg2+ to decrease the hardness of water. Furthermore, at the end-of-life, these materials could be used in cement and ceramic production. To achieve these aims, it is necessary to design the bioadsorbents and biocatalysts considering not only their primary uses (as adsorbent of organic pollutants), but also secondary applications (as toxic metal or hardness removal) and even their final destination (as additive in ceramic or cement production). Finally, further studies are required on the composition, properties, stability at long-term and the life-cycle cost of these materials when they are applied in the construction industry.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, cross-linked, and supramolecular networks that can absorb significant volumes of water. Hydrogels are one of the most promising biomaterials in the biological and biomedical fields, thanks to their hydrophilic properties, biocompatibility, and wide therapeutic potential. Owing to their nontoxic nature and safe use, they are widely accepted for various biomedical applications such as wound dressing, controlled drug delivery, bone regeneration, tissue engineering, biosensors, and artificial contact lenses. Herein, this review comprises different synthetic strategies for hydrogels and their chemical/physical characteristics, and various analytical, optical, and spectroscopic tools for their characterization are discussed. A range of synthetic approaches is also covered for the synthesis and design of hydrogels. It will also cover biomedical applications such as bone regeneration, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. This review addressed the fundamental, general, and applied features of hydrogels in order to facilitate undergraduates, graduates, biomedical students, and researchers in a variety of domains.

Abstract
Due to the environmental pollution issues and the supply of drinking/clean water, removal of both inorganic and organic (particularly dyes, nitroarenes, and heavy metals) to non-dangerous products and useful compounds are very important transformations. The deployment of sustainable and eco-friendly nanomaterials with exceptional structural and unique features such as high efficiency and stability/recyclability, high surface/volume ratio, low-cost production routes has become a priority; nonetheless, numerous significant challenges/restrictions still remained unresolved. The immobilization of green synthesized metal nanoparticles (NPs) on the natural materials and biowaste generated templates have been analyzed widely as a greener approach due to their environmentally friendly preparation methods, earth-abundance, cost-effectiveness with low energy consumption, biocompatibility, as well as adjustability in various cases of biomolecules as bioreducing agents. Natural and biowaste materials are widely considered as important sources to fabricate greener and biosynthesized types of metal, metal oxide, and metal sulfide nanomaterials using plant extracts. Integrating green synthesized nanoparticles with various biotemplates offers new practical composites for mitigating environmental challenges. In this review, degradation of dyes, reduction of toxic nitrophenols, absorption of heavy metals, and other hazardous/toxic environmental pollutants from contaminated water bodies using biowaste- and nature-derived nanomaterials are highlighted.

Abstract
MnO2 and MnO2 blended with 1 and 2 weight percent of activated carbon (AC), MnO2/AC1 and MnO2/AC2 were synthesized through the sol–gel method. The pure chitosan (CS) films were cast in the form of films. Similarly, 5 weight% of each MnO2, AC, MnO2/AC1 and MnO2/AC2 was intermingled with the CS to produce different films, such as CS-AC, CS-MnO2, CS-MnO2/AC1 and CS-MnO2/AC2. Zero-valent Co NPs were then supported on these films through the chemical reduction method and expressed as CS@Co, CS-AC@Co, CS-MnO2@Co, CS-MnO2/AC1@Co and CS-MnO2/AC2@Co NPs. All the catalysts were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The synthesized catalysts were used as a dip catalyst against the hydrogenation of 4-nitrophenol (4NP), and for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and Congo red (CR) dyes. The kapp and R2 values were deduced from pseudo-first-order kinetics for 4NP and MO and zero-order kinetics for CR dye. The kapp values of CS-AC@Co and CS-MnO2/AC1@Co NPs for 4NP hydrogenation were higher than those for any other member of the series, at 1.14 × 10−1 and 1.56 × 10−1 min−1 respectively. Similarly, the rate of CR degradation was highest with CS-AC@Co. The R2 values for 4NP, MO and CR dyes were above 0.9, which indicated that the application of pseudo-first- and zero-order models were appropriate for this study. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of all the catalysts was evaluated against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The CS-AC@Co NPs exhibited the highest zone of inhibition compared to other catalysts against P. aeruginosa, while all the catalysts were inactive against E. coli. This study reveals that the catalyst can be used for the degradation of other pollutants and for microbial inhibition.

Abstract
The development of a solid substrate for the support and stabilization of zero-valent metal nanoparticles (NPs) is the heart of the catalyst system. In the current embodiment, we have prepared solid support comprise of alginate-coated cellulose filter paper (Alg/FP) for the synthesis and stabilization of Co nanoparticles (NPs) named as Alg/FP@Co NPs. Furthermore, Alginate polymer was blended with 1 and 2 weight percent of CoNi NPs to make Alg-CoNi1/FP and Alg-CoNi2/FP, respectively. All these stabilizing matrixes were used as dip-catalyst for the degradation of azo dyes and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4NP). The effect of initial dye concentration, amount of NaBH4, and catalyst dosage was assessed for the degradation of Congo red (CR) dye by using Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs. Results indicated that the highest kapp value (3.63 × 10-1 min-1) was exhibited by Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs and lowest by Alg/FP@Co NPs against the discoloration of CR dye. Furthermore, it was concluded that Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs exhibited strong catalyst activity against CR, and methyl orange dye (MO) degradation as well as 4NP reduction. Antibacterial activity of the prepared composites was also investigated and the highest l activity was shown by Alg-CoNi2/FP@Co NPs, which inhibit 2.5 cm zone of bacteria compared to other catalysts.

Abstract
In this work, cellulose acetate polymer (CA) sheet and 2% ZnAl grafted on activated carbon grown in the form of layered double hydroxide (ZnAl/C-LDH) incorporated into CA polymer (CA-ZA2) 5 wt% (CA-ZA5) and 10 wt% of ZnAl/C-LDH (CA-ZA10) sheets were synthesized by simple casting method. All the stated sheets were fabricated with zero-valent Ni nanoparticles by adsorption of Ni+2 ions followed by subsequent reduction with NaBH4 and named as CA@Ni, CA-ZA2@Ni, CA-ZA5@Ni, and CA-ZA10@Ni NPs. The synthesized Ni NPs were investigated through FESEM, FTIR, XRD and EDS techniques. These supported and stabilized Ni NPs were largely used for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (PNP), and 2-nitrophenol (ONP) in the presence of NaBH4 which act as a reducing agent. Similarly, the catalytic efficiency was also assessed against the removal of dyes. The linear relationship and Kapp were obtained from pseudo-first-order kinetics. The rate constant Kapp of CA@Ni NPs for the reduction of PNP is 1.5 × 10-1 and CA-ZA2@Ni (Kapp = 2.6 × 10-1), CA-ZA5@Ni (Kapp = 3.2 × 10-1), and CA-ZA10@Ni is 5.7 × 10-1 min-1. The highest rate constant for PNP reduction was observed with CA-ZA10@Ni NPs. The rate of CR removal with ZA10@Ni NPs is 2.05 × 10-1 while the adjacent R2 is 0.9013. Similarly, the rate constant and adjacent R2 values were calculated for the degradation of other dyes and nitrophenols.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass waste is a cheap, eco-friendly, and sustainable raw material for a wide array of applications. In the present study, an easy, fast, and economically feasible route has been proposed for the preparation of different zero-valent metal nanoparticles (ZV-MNPs) based on Cu, Co, Ag, and Ni NPs using empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass residue as support material. The catalytic efficiency of ZV-MNPs/EFB catalyst was investigated against five model pollutants, such as methyl orange (MO), congo red (CR), methylene blue (MB), acridine orange (AO), and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) using NaBH4 as a source of hydrogen and electron. Comparative study revealed that among as-prepared ZV-MNPs/EFB catalysts, Cu-NPs immobilized onto EFB (Cu/EFB) exhibited maximum catalytic efficiency towards pollutant abasement. Degradation reactions were highly efficient, and were completed within a short time (4 min) in case of MO, CR, and MB, whilst AO and 4-NP were reduced in less than 15 min. Kinetic investigation revealed that the degradation rate of model pollutants accorded with pseudo-first order model. Furthermore, supported catalysts were easily recovered after the completion of experiment by simply pulling the catalyst from reaction system. Recyclability tests performed on Cu/EFB revealed that more than 97% of the reduction was achieved in case of MO dye for four successive cycles of reuse. The as-prepared heterostructure showed multifunctional properties, such as enhanced uptake of contaminants, high catalytic efficiency, and easy recovery, hence, offers great prospects in wastewater purification.

Abstract
Abstract
Plant based materials are considered to have broad applications in the remediation of toxic materials. In this report, we present an environmental friendly and economic Cicer arietinum, named as (CP) supported for the synthesis of Ni nanoparticles (NPs) designated as Ni@CP. The in situ Ni@CP NPs were obtained using aqueous medium in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a reducing agent. The prepared catalysts were applied for the hydrogenation/degradation of p-nitrophenol (PNP), o-nitrophenol (ONP), and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP), as well as congo red (CR), methyl orange (MO), methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RB) dyes. The amount of total metal ions adsorbed onto the CP was evaluated by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy. The Ni@CP catalyst was characterized through PXRD, FTIR, FESEM and EDX analyses.

Abstract
TiO2 photocatalysis is an advanced process, employed worldwide for the oxidation of organic compounds, that leads to significant technological applications in the fields of health and environment. The use of the photocatalytic approach in reduction reactions seems very promising and can open new horizons for green chemistry synthesis. For this purpose, titanium dioxide nanotubes (TNTs) were developed in autoclave conditions using TiO2 P25 as a precursor material. Based on these nanotubular substrates, TiO2/CoFe2O4 (TCF) nanocomposites were further obtained by wet impregnation method. The materials were thoroughly characterized and their structural, textural, vibrational, optoelectronic and magnetic properties were determined. The composite materials combine absorbance in the visible optical range and high BET surface area values (˜100 m2/g), showing extremely high yield in the photocatalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), exceeding 94% within short illumination time (only 35 min). The developed nanocomposites were successfully reused in consecutive photocatalytic experiments and were easily removed from the reaction medium using magnets. Both remarkable recycling ability and high-performance stability in the photocatalytic reduction of nitrophenol were observed, thus justifying the significant economic potential and industrial perspectives for this advanced reduction process.
