Visible-light induced effective and sustainable remediation of nitro organics pollutants using Pd-doped ZnO nanocatalyst. Sci Rep 2024; 14:22430. [PMID: 39341891 PMCID: PMC11438909 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-72713-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 10/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitroaromatic compounds represent a class of highly toxic pollutants discharged into aquatic environments by various industrial activities, posing significant threats to ecological integrity and human health due to their persistent and hazardous nature. In this study, Pd-doped ZnO nanoparticles were investigated as a potential solution for the degradation of nitro organics, offering heightened photocatalytic efficacy and prolonged stability. The synthesis of Pd-doped ZnO NPs was achieved via the hydrothermal method, with subsequent analysis through XRD spectra and XPS confirming successful Pd doping within the ZnO matrix. Characterization through FESEM and HRTEM unveiled the heterogeneous morphologies of both undoped and Pd-doped ZnO nanoparticles. Additionally, UV-vis and PL spectroscopy provided insights into the optical properties, chemical bonding, and defect structures of the synthesized Pd-doped ZnO NPs. Pd doping induces a redshift in ZnO's absorption spectra, reducing the bandgap from 3.12 to 2.94 eV as Pd concentration rises from 0 to 0.2 wt.%. The photocatalytic degradation, following pseudo-first-order kinetics, achieved 90% nitrobenzene abatement (200 µg/L, pH 7) under visible light within 320 min with a catalyst loading of 16 µg/mL. The photocatalytic efficacy of 0.08 wt% Pd-doped ZnO (k = 0.058 min⁻1) exhibited a 25-fold enhancement compared to bare ZnO (k = 3.1 × 10-4 min-1). Subsequent quenching and ESR experiments identified hydroxyl radicals (OH•) as the predominant active species in the degradation mechanism. Mass spectrometry analysis unveiled potential breakdown intermediates, illuminating a plausible degradation pathway. The investigated Pd-doped ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated reusability for up to five successive treatment cycles, offering a sustainable solution to nitro organics contamination challenges.

Controlled solvothermal synthesis of self-assembled SrTiO 3 microstructures for expeditious solar-driven photocatalysis dye effluents degradation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 251:118647. [PMID: 38460666 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118647] [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: 12/16/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/11/2024]
Abstract
In this work, the self-assembled SrTiO3 (STO) microstructures were synthesized via a facile one-step solvothermal method. As the solvothermal temperature increased from 140 °C to 200 °C, the STO changed from a flower-like architecture to finally an irregularly aggregated flake-like morphology. The photocatalytic performance of as-synthesized samples was assessed through the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and malachite green (MG) under simulated solar irradiation. The results indicated that the photocatalytic performance of STO samples depended on their morphology, in which the hierarchical flower-like STO synthesized at 160 °C demonstrated the highest photoactivities. The photocatalytic enhancement of STO-160 was benefited from its large surface area and mesoporous configuration, hence facilitating the presence of more reactive species and accelerating the charge separation. Moreover, the real-world practicality of STO-160 photocatalysis was examined via the real printed ink wastewater-containing RhB and MG treatment. The phytotoxicity analyses demonstrated that the photocatalytically treated wastewater increased the germination of mung bean seeds, and the good reusability of synthesized STO-160 in photodegradation reaction also promoted its application in practical scenarios. This work highlights the promising potential of tailored STO microstructures for effective environmental remediation applications.

Salahshoori I, Yazdanbakhsh A, Baghban A. Machine learning-powered estimation of malachite green photocatalytic degradation with NML-BiFeO 3 composites. Sci Rep 2024; 14:8676.

Abstract
This study explores the potential of photocatalytic degradation using novel NML-BiFeO3 (noble metal-incorporated bismuth ferrite) compounds for eliminating malachite green (MG) dye from wastewater. The effectiveness of various Gaussian process regression (GPR) models in predicting MG degradation is investigated. Four GPR models (Matern, Exponential, Squared Exponential, and Rational Quadratic) were employed to analyze a dataset of 1200 observations encompassing various experimental conditions. The models have considered ten input variables, including catalyst properties, solution characteristics, and operational parameters. The Exponential kernel-based GPR model achieved the best performance, with a near-perfect R2 value of 1.0, indicating exceptional accuracy in predicting MG degradation. Sensitivity analysis revealed process time as the most critical factor influencing MG degradation, followed by pore volume, catalyst loading, light intensity, catalyst type, pH, anion type, surface area, and humic acid concentration. This highlights the complex interplay between these factors in the degradation process. The reliability of the models was confirmed by outlier detection using William's plot, demonstrating a minimal number of outliers (66-71 data points depending on the model). This indicates the robustness of the data utilized for model development. This study suggests that NML-BiFeO3 composites hold promise for wastewater treatment and that GPR models, particularly Matern-GPR, offer a powerful tool for predicting MG degradation. Identifying fundamental catalyst properties can expedite the application of NML-BiFeO3, leading to optimized wastewater treatment processes. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into using NML-BiFeO3 compounds and machine learning for efficient MG removal from wastewater.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reactions with semiconductor-based photocatalysts have been investigated extensively for application to wastewater treatment, especially dye degradation, yet the interactions between different process parameters have rarely been reported due to their complicated reaction mechanisms. Hence, this study aims to discern the impact of each factor, and each interaction between multiple factors on reaction rate constant (k) using a decision tree model. The dyes selected as target pollutants were indigo and malachite green, and 5 different semiconductor-based photocatalysts with 17 different compositions were tested, which generated 34 input features and 1527 data points. The Boruta Shapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) feature selection for the 34 inputs found that 11 inputs were significantly important. The decision tree model exhibited for 11 input features with an R2 value of 0.94. The SHAP feature importance analysis suggested that photocatalytic experimental conditions, with an importance of 59%, was the most important input category, followed by atomic composition (39%) and physicochemical properties (2%). Additionally, the effects on k of the synergy between the metal cocatalysts and important experimental conditions were confirmed by two feature SHAP dependence plots, regardless of importance order. This work provides insight into the single and multiple factors that affect reaction rate and mechanism.

Abstract
Lithium niobate is a lead-free material which has attracted considerable attention due to its excellent optical, piezoelectric, and ferroelectric properties. This research is devoted to the synthesis through an innovative sol-gel/spin-coating approach of polycrystalline LiNbO3 films on Si substrates. A novel single-source hetero-bimetallic precursor containing lithium and niobium was synthesized and applied to the sol-gel synthesis. The structural, compositional, and thermal characteristics of the precursor have been tested through attenuated total reflection, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. The LiNbO3 films have been characterized from a structural point of view with combined X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to study the morphological and compositional properties of the deposited films.

Abstract
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), a perovskite-type oxide, possesses unique morphology and multiferroicity, rendering it highly versatile for various applications. Recent investigations have demonstrated that BiFeO3 exhibits enhanced Fenton-like and photocatalytic behaviors, coupled with its piezoelectric/ferroelectric properties. BiFeO3 can catalytically generate highly oxidative reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to hydrogen peroxide or light irradiation. Consequently, bismuth ferrite-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for various biomedical applications. However, the precise fabrication of BiFeO3-based materials with controllable features and applications in diverse biomedical scenarios remains a formidable challenge. In this review, we initially summarize the Fenton reaction property, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of BiFeO3. We further survey the current methodologies for synthesizing BiFeO3 nanomaterials with diverse morphologies. Subsequently, we explore the effects of element doping and heterojunction formation on enhancing the photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3, focusing on microstructural, electronic band structure, and modification approaches. Additionally, we provide an overview of the recent advancements of BiFeO3-based nanomaterials in biomedicine. Finally, we discuss the prevailing obstacles and prospects of BiFeO3 for biomedical applications, offering valuable insights and recommendations for forthcoming research endeavors.

Abstract
Enhancing the solar-physical conversion efficacy ability of the nanomaterials is an essential for real-time implementation. We report the enhanced solar-physical efficiency of the BiFeO3 nanospheres via Gd3+ doping and Au nanoparticles decoration. Initially, we have obtained the Bi1-xGdxFeO3 nanospheres were attained via a simple solvothermal technique and then citrate reduction of Au was conducted. Obtained perovskite BiFeO systems were studied for the Gd3+ doping, crystalline phase and elemental purity using the XRD and XPS techniques. Transmission electron microscope had revealed the ∼400 nm sized BiFeO3 nanospheres. Optical absorption spectrum revealed the enhanced visible photon absorption occurring in BiFeO3 for both Gd3+ doping and Au decoration. The bandgap values of pristine, 1%, 3% and 5% Gd3+ doped in BiFeO3 are 2.2 eV, 2.19 eV, 2.17 eV and 2.12 eV, respectively. Conducted photoluminescence revealed the dual electron trapping occurring in BiFeO3 via Gd3+ ions and Au nanoparticles. LED light assisted 72% of piezo-photocatalytic degradation efficiency of Tetracycline is achieved with Bi0 95Fe0 05O3/Au, whereas the photo catalytic is only 65% and piezo catalytic efficiency is 58%. In recyclable studies the Bi0.95Gd0.05FeO3/Au had shown the consistent piezo-photocatalytic efficiency for 3 reaction cycles. Further, fabricated DSSC studies revealed that near 30 % enhanced solar photovoltaic efficiency for Bi0 95Fe0 05O3/Au (η = 6.5%) solar cells on par to the pristine BiFeO3 (η = 5.02%).

Abstract
The continually expanding global population has necessitated increased food supply production. Thus, agricultural intensification has been required to keep up with food supply demand, resulting in a sharp rise in pesticide use. The pesticide aids in the prevention of potential losses caused by pests, plant pathogens, and weeds, but excessive use over time has accumulated its occurrence in the environment and subsequently rendered it one of the emerging contaminants of concern. This review highlights the sources and classification of herbicides and their fate in the environment, with a special focus on the effects on human health and methods to remove herbicides. The human health impacts discussion was in relation to toxic effects, cell disruption, carcinogenic impacts, negative fertility effects, and neurological impacts. The removal treatments described herein include physicochemical, biological, and chemical treatment approaches, and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Also, alternative, green, and sustainable treatment options were discussed to shed insight into effective treatment technologies for herbicides. To conclude, this review serves as a stepping stone to a better environment with herbicides.

Abstract
The levels of pesticides in air, water, and soil are gradually increasing due to its inappropriate management. In particular, agricultural runoff inflicts the damages on the ecosystem and human health at massive scale. Present study summarizes 70 studies in which investigations on removal or treatment of pesticides/insecticides/herbicides are reported. A bibliometric analysis was also done to understand the recent research trends through the analysis of 2218 publications. The specific objectives of this study are as follows: i) to inventorize the characteristics details of agriculture runoff and analyzing the occurrence and impacts of pesticides, ii) analyzing the role and interaction of pesticides in different environmental segments, iii) investigating the fate of pesticides in agriculture runoff treatment systems, iv) summarizing the experiences and findings of most commonly technology deployed for pesticides remediation in agriculture runoff including target pesticide(s), specifications, configuration of technological intervention. Among the reported technologies for pesticide treatment in agriculture runoff, constructed wetland was at the top followed by algal or photobioreactor. Among various advanced oxidation processes, photo Fenton method is mainly used for pesticides remediation such as triazine, methyl parathion, fenuron and diuron. Algal bioreactors are extensively used for a wide range of pesticides treatment including 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, alachlor, diuron, chlorpyrifos, endosulfan, and imidacloprid; especially at lower hydraulic retention time of 2-6 h. This study highlights that hybrid approaches can offers potential opportunities for effective removal of pesticides in a more viable manner.

Abstract
The problem of global water pollution and scarcity of water resources is becoming increasingly serious. Multifunctional perovskites can well drive adsorption and photocatalytic reactions to remove water pollutants. There are many advantages of perovskites, such as abundant oxygen vacancies, easily tunable structural morphology, stable crystal state, highly active metal sites, and a wide photo response range. However, there are few reviews on the simultaneous application of perovskite to adsorption and photocatalytic removal of water pollutants. Thus, this paper discusses the preparation methods of perovskite, the factors affecting the adsorption of water environmental pollutants by perovskite, and the factors affecting perovskite photocatalytic water pollutants. The particle size, specific surface area, oxygen vacancies, electron-hole trapping agents, potentials of the valence band, and conduction band in perovskites are significant influencing factors for adsorption and photocatalysis. Strategies for improving the performance of perovskites in the fields of adsorption and photocatalysis are discussed. The adsorption behaviors and catalytic mechanisms are also investigated, including adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics, electrostatic interaction, ion exchange, chemical bonding, and photocatalytic mechanism. It summarizes the removal of water pollutants by using perovskites. It provides the design of perovskites as high-efficiency adsorbents and catalysts for developing new technologies.

Machine learning approaches to predict the photocatalytic performance of bismuth ferrite-based materials in the removal of malachite green. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 442:130031.

Abstract
This study focuses on the potential capability of numerous machine learning models, namely CatBoost, GradientBoosting, HistGradientBoosting, ExtraTrees, XGBoost, DecisionTree, Bagging, light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), GaussianProcess, artificial neural network (ANN), and light long short-term memory (LightLSTM). These models were investigated to predict the photocatalytic degradation of malachite green from wastewater using various NM-BiFeO3 composites. A comprehensive databank of 1200 data points was generated under various experimental conditions. The ten input variables selected were the catalyst type, reaction time, light intensity, initial concentration, catalyst loading, solution pH, humic acid concentration, anions, surface area, and pore volume of various photocatalysts. The MG dye degradation efficiency was selected as the output variable. An evaluation of the performance metrics suggested that the CatBoost model, with the highest test coefficient of determination (0.99) and lowest mean absolute error (0.64) and root-mean-square error (1.34), outperformed all other models. The CatBoost model showed that the photocatalytic reaction conditions were more important than the material properties. The modeling results suggested that the optimized process conditions were a light intensity of 105 W, catalyst loading of 1.5 g/L, initial MG dye concentration of 5 mg/L and solution pH of 7. Finally, the implications and drawbacks of the current study were stated in detail.

Abstract
Photodegradation is a new approach for the removal of pentachlorophenol (PCP). Photooxidation degradation (using hydroxyl radicals) exhibits better performance to remove PCP than photoreduction degradation, but the former will lead to an increase in the production of toxic by-products such as tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ). Thus, a new strategy is required to enhance PCP photodegradation and simultaneously inhibit toxic intermediates production. Herein, TiO2 (P25)/polydopamine (PDA)/BiOBr was synthesized and used to photodegrade PCP. Based on the relative position of the CB and VB of P25 and BiOBr, and PDA as an electron transfer mediator, a high number of holes, electrons, and superoxide anions were produced instead of hydroxyl radicals. The photocatalytic activity of P25/PDA/BiOBr exhibited the best performance among as-prepared samples, reaching a k(pcp) value of 0.4 min-1 (20 μM PCP) under UV light irradiation within 10 min. According to chemiluminescence and acute toxicity assays, relative to P25, the toxic intermediates of TCBQ and trichlorohydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (OH-TrCBQ) generation was greatly reduced over P25/PDA/BiOBr, with a lack of toxic product generation during PCP photodegradation process. These findings provide an alternative strategy to achieve greener and more efficient organic pollutant photodegradation.

Abstract
Herbicides are one of the most recurring pollutants in the aquatic system due to their widespread usage in the agriculture sector for weed control. Semiconductor-based photocatalysts have gained recognition due to their ability to degrade and mineralize pollutants into harmless by-products completely. Lately, many studies have been done to design photocatalysts with efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers and enhanced light absorption. Photocatalyst engineering through doping with metal and non-metal elements and the formation of heterojunction are proven effective for minimizing the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enlarging the absorption in the visible light region. This review focuses on discussing and evaluating the recent progress in the types of photocatalysts and their performance in the remediation of herbicides in wastewater. The development of innovative hybrid technologies is also highlighted. The limitations and challenges of photocatalysis technology in the present literature have been identified, and future studies are recommended.

Abstract
The co-existence of organic contaminants and heavy metals including 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and Cr(VI) in aquatic system have become a challenging task in the wastewater treatment. Herein, the synchronous photocatalytic decomposition of 4-CP and Cr(VI) over new Z-scheme CoFe2O4/P-BiOBr heterojunction nanocomposites were revealed. In this work, the nanocomposites were successfully developed via a surfactant-free hydrothermal method. The heterojunction interface was created by decorating magnetic CoFe2O4 nanoparticles onto P-BiOBr nanosheets. The as-fabricated CoFe2O4/P-BiOBr nanocomposites substantially improved the synchronous decomposition of 4-CP and Cr(VI) compared to the single-phase component samples under visible light irradiation. Particularly, the 30-CoFe2O4/P-BiOBr nanocomposite displayed the best photocatalytic performance, which decomposed 95.6% 4-CP and 100% Cr(VI) within 75 min. The photocatalytic improvement was assigned to the Z-scheme heterojunction assisted charge migration between CoFe2O4 and P-BiOBr, and the acceleration of charge carrier separation was validated by the findings of charge dynamics measurements. The harmful 4-CP was photodegraded into smaller organics whereas the Cr(VI) was photoreduced into Cr(III) after 30-CoFe2O4/P-BiOBr photocatalysis, and the good recyclability of fabricated nanocomposite in photocatalytic reaction also showed promising potential for practical applications in environmental remediation. Finally, the radical quenching tests confirmed that there existed the Z-scheme path of charge migration in CoFe2O4/P-BiOBr nanocomposite, which was the mechanism responsible for its high photoactivity.

Abstract
In the recent years, perovskite oxides are gaining an increasing amount of attention owing to their unique traits such as tunable electronic structures, flexible composition, and eco-friendly properties. In contrast, their catalytic performance is not satisfactory, which hinders real wastewater remediation. To overcome this shortcoming, various strategies are developed to design new perovskite oxide-based materials to enhance their catalytic activities in advanced oxidation process (AOPs). This review article is to provide overview of basic principle and different methods of AOPs, while the strategies to design novel perovskite oxide-based composites for enhancing the catalytic activities in AOPs have been highlighted. Moreover, the recent progress of their synthesis and applications in wastewater remediation (pertaining to the period 2016-2022) was described, and the related mechanisms were thoroughly discussed. This review article helps scientists to have a clear outlook on the selection and design of new effective perovskite oxide-based materials for the application of AOPs. At the end of the review, perspective on the challenges and future research directions are discussed.

Abstract
Reducing the recombination efficiency of photo-induced carriers has been found as an effective means to improve the degradation of antiviral agents. Given that the Lorentz forces can cause the abnormal charge to move in the opposite direction, external magnetic field improved α-Fe2O3/Zn1-xFexO heterojunctions (FZHx) were developed to remove increasing antiviral agents that were attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic under visible light. The characterization of the mentioned FZHx in the external magnetic field indicated that FZHx had perfect photocatalytic activity for degrading antiviral agents. In the external magnetic field, the quantities of photo-generated carriers and free radicals (•OH and •O2 -) derived from FZHx increased significantly, which improved antiviral agent removal by 30.0%. Though the band structure (α-Fe2O3) is unlikely to change due to some orders of magnitude weaker of Zeeman energy in magnetic fields, which insignificantly impacts photocatalytic performance. However, this study proposed a strategy of negative magnetoresistance effects and heterojunctions to facilitate the separation and transfer of photo-induced carriers in magnetic fields. Based on the proposed strategy, spin oriented electrons were selected and accumulated on the conduction band, which contributed to the degradation of antiviral agents. Overall, this study presented novel insights into the improved degradation performance of antiviral agents by applying Fe-based heterojunctions in an external magnetic field.
