Emerging aspects of metal ions-doped zinc oxide photocatalysts in degradation of organic dyes and pharmaceutical pollutants - A review. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 344:118614. [PMID: 37454449 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.118614] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023]
Abstract
In recent periods, a broad assortment of continual organic contaminants has been released into our natural water resources. Indeed, it is exceedingly poisonous and perilous to living things; thus, the elimination of these organic pollutants before release into the water bodies is vital. A variety of techniques have been utilized to remove these organic pollutants with advanced oxidation photocatalytic methods with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles being commonly used as a capable catalyst for contaminated water treatment. Nevertheless, its broad energy gap, which can be only stimulated under an ultraviolet (UV) light source, and high recombination pairs of electrons and holes limit their photocatalytic behaviors. However, numerous methods have been suggested to decrease its energy gap for visible regions. Including, the doping ZnO with metal ions (dopant) can be considered as an effectual route not only the reason for a movement of the absorption edges toward the higher (visible light) region but also to lower the electron-hole pair (e--h+) recombination. This review concentrated on the impact of dissimilar types of metal ions (dopants) on the advancement in the degradation performance of ZnO. So, this work demonstrates a vital review of contemporary attainments in the alteration of ZnO nanoparticles for organic pollutants eliminations. Besides, the effect of doping ions including transition metals, rare earth metals, and metal ions (substitutional and interstitial) concerning numerous types of altered ZnO are summarized. The photodegradation mechanisms for pristine and metal-modified ZnO nanoparticles are also conferred.

Impact of alternate Mn doping in ternary nanocomposites on their structural, optical and antimicrobial properties: Comparative analysis of photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 337:117706. [PMID: 36933533 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.117706] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The present study was done to investigate and compare the photocatalytic and antibacterial activity of two in situ Manganese doped ternary nanocomposites. The dual ternary hybrid systems comprised Mn-doped Ag2WO4 coupled with MoS2-GO and Mn-doped MoS2 coupled with Ag2WO4-GO. Both hierarchical alternate Mn-doped ternary heterojunctions formed efficient plasmonic catalysts for wastewater treatment. The novel nanocomposites were well-characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDS, HR-TEM, XPS, UV-VIS DRS, and PL techniques confirming the successful insertion of Mn+2 ions in respective host substrates. The bandgap of the ternary nanocomposites evaluated by the tauc plot showed them visible light-active nanocomposites. The photocatalytic ability of both Mn-doped coupled nanocomposites was investigated against the dye methylene blue. Both ternary nanocomposites showed excellent sunlight harvesting ability for dye degradation in 60 min. The maximum catalytic efficiency of both photocatalysts was obtained at a solution pH value of 8, photocatalyst dose and oxidant dose of 30 mg/100 mL and 1 mM for Mn-Ag2WO4/MoS2-GO, 50 mg/100 mL, 3 mM for Mn-MoS2/Ag2WO4-GO keeping IDC of 10 ppm for all photocatalysts. The nanocomposites showed excellent photocatalytic stability after five successive cycles. The response surface methodology was used as a statistical tool for the evaluation of the photocatalytic response of several interacting parameters for dye degradation by ternary composites. The antibacterial activity was determined by the inactivation of gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria by support-based doped ternary hybrids.

Abstract
Worldwide environmental issues have been escalating with the growth of the global economy and become a vital problem. To solve the problems, we require an eco-friendly and sustainable binary catalyst for the degradation of Azo dye pollutants. In this work, magnetically reusable, multifunctional novel Mn-doped CdAl2O4 nanoparticles were effectively fabricated by the co-precipitation approach. It was utilized for the degradation of two Azo dyes, exhibiting 96 and 98% Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl2O4 removal rates under visible light illumination, and presenting improved photocatalytic capability than that of pure and other dopants. More notably, the Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl2O4 catalyst was recycled using centrifuges without major loss and displays almost similar photodegradation behaviors for six successive runs. According to the ESR measurements, outcome and quenching tests affirmed that .OH- and h+ radicals were better reactive species responsible for Azo dyes removal. A possible photodegradation reaction mechanism underlying the elimination of Azo dyes by Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl2O4 catalyst is also proposed. Elaborated analyzes by variable reaction parameters such as the role of reactive species and catalyst dosage, pH, COD and irradiation time in the degradation route was also discussed. We assume that our outcomes will provide novel insights into using a highly effectual Mn (0.050 M)-doped CdAl2O4 catalyst, with possible applications in the treatment of both industrial and domestic wastewater.

A synergistic consequence of catalyst dosage, pH solution and reactive species of Fe-doped CdAl 2O 4 nanoparticles on the degradation of toxic environmental pollutants. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 318:137919.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater treatment techniques are one of the biggest challenges of the scientific community that necessitate an increased consciousness to address water scarcity worldwide. Herein, an eco-friendly and cost-effective process was demonstrated to cope with tannery, textile and pharmaceutical dye wastes through the co-precipitation of highly reusable Fe-doped CdAl2O4 samples. The XRD studies exposed the space group R 3‾ with no secondary phase step being found for all samples. The outcomes of optical absorbance spectra demonstrate that Fe doping diminished the energy gap from 3.66 to 1.67 eV. HR-TEM images of existing spherical particles and some of the particles' rod-like structures with little agglomeration were found for Fe (0.075 M) doped CdAl2O4 nanoparticles. The PL emission outcomes show that Fe doping effectively prevented the charge carrier's recombination in CdAl2O4 during photocatalysis. All Fe-doped CdAl2O4 samples demonstrated higher photodegradation behaviors towards the effectual degradation of both dye solutions as compared to pure CdAl2O4 samples. Particularly, Fe (0.075 M)-doped CdAl2O4 samples exhibited improved photodegradation performance of 93 and 95% for both dye solutions. The amount of photodegradation was noticed to rely on dye pH, irradiation time, catalyst dosage, initial dye amount, and reactive species. The recyclability of the Fe (0.075 M) doped CdAl2O4 nanoparticles denotes that 78 and 82% of BB and BG were removed up to the 6th run of usage. The outcomes of trapping tests,.OH- and h+ radicals were the major Scavenging in the photodegradation reaction. COD studies affirmed the whole mineralization of BB and BG dye molecules. It is expected that our present examination could offer to improve various spinal oxide materials for the photodegradation activity of pharmaceutical contaminants and environmental issues and can also resolve energy storage applications.

Abstract
In this work, MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 ternary hybrid photocatalyst was synthesized by sonicated precursor mixture to the hydrothermal procedure to generate a highly efficient solar light-induced and simply recyclable photocatalyst. The obtained hybrid was confirmed by the characteristic peaks of MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 observed in X-ray diffraction (14.31°/18.62°/28.18°), infrared spectra (465/445/679 cm-1), ultraviolet-visible spectra (636/683/639 nm) studies, and the band-gap narrowing (2.62/2.44/2.25 eV). The morphological structure of MoS2 (rod), Mg(OH)2 (particles), and BiVO4 (random aggregates) were turned into MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 hierarchical nanosheets that coexisted with particles. The photodegradation experiments of the photocatalysts were assessed by using Congo Red (CR), Malachite Green (MG) and Textile Industry Effluent (TIE) as the model pollutant under direct sunlight. The photocatalytic efficiency of the hybrids was noticeably 2.1 to 2.3 times higher than that of the individual components. Photocurrent response test indicate that MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4 ternary hybrid nanocomposites photocatalysts had a more effective electron/hole pair separation than individual and binary composite photocatalysts. The mechanism of photodegradation of MoS2/Mg(OH)2/BiVO4ternary hybrid photocatalysts was investigated and discussed.

Abstract
Water is obligatory for sustaining life on Earth. About 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. However, only one percent of the total water is drinkable. The presence of contaminants in wastewater, surface water, groundwater, and drinking water is a serious threat to human and environmental health. Their toxic effects and resistance towards conventional water treatment methods have compelled the scientific community to search for an environmentally friendly method that could efficiently degrade toxic contaminants. In this regard, visible light active photocatalysts have proved to be efficient in eliminating a wide variety of water toxins. A plethora of research activities have been carried out and significant amounts of funds are spent on the monitoring and removal of water contaminants, but relatively little attention has been paid to the degradation of persistent water pollutants. In this regard, nanoparticles of doped ZnO are preferred options owing to their low recombination rate and excellent photocatalytic and antimicrobial activity under irradiation of solar light. The current article presents the roles of these nanomaterials for wastewater treatment from pollutants of emerging concern.

Abstract
The photocatalytic activity of photocatalysts is severely hampered by limited visible light harvesting and unwanted fast recombination of photogenerated e- and h+. In the current study, the photocatalytic efficiency of Cu-ZnO/S-g-C3N4 (CZS) nanocomposites was investigated against MB dye. The composite materials were designed via chemical co-precipitation method and characterised by important analytical techniques. Distinctive heterojunctions developed between S-g-C3N4 and Cu-ZnO in the CZS composite were revealed by TEM. The synthesized composites exhibit a huge number of active sites, a large surface area, a smaller size and better visible light absorption. The considerable enhancement in the photocatalytic activity of CZS nanocomposites might be accredited to the decay in the e-h pair recombination rate and a red shift in the visible region, as observed by PL and optical analysis, respectively. Furthermore, the metal (Cu) doping into the S-g-C3N4/ZnO matrix created exemplary interfaces between ZnO and S-g-C3N4, and maximized the photocatalytic activity of CZS nanocomposites. In particular, CZS nanocomposites synthesized by integrating 25% S-g-C3N4 with 4% Cu-ZnO (CZS-25 NCs) exhibited the 100% photocatalytic degradation of MB in 60 minutes under sunlight irradiation. After six cycles, the photocatalytic stability of CZS-25 NCs was excellent. Likewise, a plausible MB degradation mechanism is proposed over CZS-25 NCs based on photoluminescence and reactive species scavenger test observation. The current research supports the design of novel composites for the photocatalytic disintegration of organic contaminants.

Abstract
In the present study, novel ZnO/Au/graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanocomposites were fabricated via a facile and eco-friendly liquid phase pulsed laser process followed by calcination. Notably, the approach did not necessitate the use of any capping agents or surfactants. The as-prepared photocatalysts were evaluated by various electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. The obtained results confirmed good dispersion of the Au nanoparticles (NPs) on the surface of spherical ZnO particles deposited on the g-C3N4 nanosheets. The ZnO/Au/g-C3N4 nanocomposite exhibited substantially enhanced catalytic activity toward the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under simulated solar light irradiation. In particular, the ZnO/Au15/g-C3N4 composite containing 15 wt% Au displayed a rate constant, which was approximately 3 and 5 times greater than those of pristine g-C3N4 and ZnO, respectively. This improved photocatalytic activity of ZnO/Au15/g-C3N4 was attributed to the surface plasmon resonance of Au NPs and the synergistic effects between ZnO and g-C3N4. The boundary between ZnO/Au and g-C3N4 enabled direct migration of the photogenerated electrons from g-C3N4 to ZnO/Au, which hindered the recombination of electron-hole pairs and enhanced the carrier separation efficiency. Additionally, a plausible MB degradation mechanism over the ZnO/Au/g-C3N4 photocatalyst is proposed based on the results of the conducted scavenger study.

Abstract
Transition metal sulfide semiconductors have achieved significant attention in the field of photocatalysis and degradation of pollutants. MoS2 with a two dimensional (2D) layered structure, a narrow bandgap and the ability of getting excited while being exposed to visible light, has demonstrated great potential in visible-light-driven photocatalysts. However, it possesses fast-paced recombination of charges. In this study, the coupled MoS2 nanosheets were synthesized with ZnO nanorods to develop the heterojunctions photocatalyst in order to obtain superior photoactivity. The charge transfer in this composite is not adequate to achieve desirable activity. Therefore, heterojunction was modified by reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to develop the RGO/ZnO/MoS2 and CNTs/ZnO/MoS2 ternary nanocomposites. The structure, morphology, composition, optical and photocatalytic properties of the as-fabricated samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDX), elemental mapping, Photoluminescence (PL), Ultraviolet-Visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. The photo-catalytic performance of all samples was evaluated through photodegradation of aniline in aqueous solution. The combination of RGO or CNTs into the ZnO/MoS2 greatly promoted the catalytic activity. However, the resulting RGO/ZnO/MoS2 ternary nanocomposites showed appreciably increased catalytic performance, faster than that of CNTs/ZnO/MoS2. Charge carrier transfer studies, the BET surface area analysis, and the optical studies confirmed this superiority. The role of operational variables namely, solution pH, catalyst dosage amount, and initial concentration of aniline was then investigated for obtaining maximum degradation. Complete degradation was observed, in the case of pH = 4, catalyst dosage of 0.7 g/L and aniline concentration of 80 ppm, and light intensity of 100 W. According to the results of trapping experiments, hydroxyl radical was found to be the main active species in the photocatalytic reaction. Meanwhile, a plausible mechanism was proposed for describing the degradation of aniline upon ternary composite. Moreover, the catalyst showed excellent reusability and stability after five consecutive cycles due to the synergistic effect between its components. Total-Organic-Carbon concentration (TOC) results suggested that complete mineralization of aniline occurred after 210 min of irradiation. Finally, a real petrochemical wastewater sample was evaluated for testing the catalytic ability of the as-fabricated composites in real case studies and it was observed that the process successfully quenched 100% and 93% of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and TOC in the wastewater, respectively.
