Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis is the most efficient advanced oxidation processes for wastewater treatment. A new carbon-based photocatalyst bismuth oxide/multi-walled carbon nanotube (Bi2O3/MWCNT) nanocomposite has a considerable impact on improving photocatalytic performance. Bi2O3/MWCNTs (BMC) nanocomposite was prepared through the hydrothermal processing with 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 wt% of MWCNTs. The prepared photocatalysts have been thoroughly examined by various techniques. The X-ray diffraction confirmed the prepared photocatalyst as α-Bi2O3 with high crystallinity. The band gap of Bi2O3 and BMC 7.5 nanocomposite was found to be 2.41 and 1.94 eV. The prepared photocatalyst revealed smooth and porous merged flower-like structure with respect to the addition of MWCNTs. The model pollutant chromium(VI) (Cr(VI)) has been used to check the reduction efficiency of the prepared photocatalyst under solar irradiation. It was found that BMC 7.5 nanocomposite showed enhanced photocatalytic metal ion reduction (87.48%) compared to pristine Bi2O3 (69.29%). The preliminary photocatalytic Cr(VI) ion reduction experiments were carried to determine the photoreduction efficiency of pristine bismuth oxide and bismuth MWCNT nanocomposite. The kinetic study on Cr(VI) ion reduction obeyed pseudo-first-order rate kinetics for both the prepared photocatalysts. The efficiency of the photocatalysts was further analysed by reusing the same up to 3 cycles without loss of the efficacy.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2021; 294:102486. [PMID: 34274724 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2021.102486] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Revised: 07/03/2021] [Accepted: 07/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
To develop efficient catalysts is one of the major ways to solve the energy and environmental problems. Spinel ferrites, with the general chemical formula of MFe2O4 (where M = Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, etc.), have attracted considerable attention in catalytic research. The flexible position and valence variability of metal cations endow spinel ferrites with diverse physicochemical properties, such as abundant surface active sites, high catalytic activity and easy to be modified. Meanwhile, their unique advantages in regenerating and recycling on account of the magnetic performances facilitate their practical application potential. Herein, the conventional as well as green chemistry synthesis of spinel ferrites is reviewed. Most importantly, the critical pathways to improve the catalytic performance are discussed in detail, mainly covering selective doping, site substitution, structure reversal, defect introduction and coupled composites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of spinel ferrites and their derivative composites are exclusively reviewed, including Fenton-type catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and photoelectro-chemical catalysis. In addition, some vital remarks, including toxicity, recovery and reuse, are also covered. Future applications of spinel ferrites are envisioned focusing on environmental and energy issues, which will be pushed by the development of precise synthesis, skilled modification and advanced characterization along with emerging theoretical calculation.

Abstract
This work reports a novel, highly sensitive and cost-effective electrochemical sensor for the detection of bisphenol A in environmental water samples. Attractive non-noble transition metal oxide CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a sol–gel combustion method and further characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Under optimal conditions, the CoFe2O4 nanoparticle modified glassy carbon electrode exhibits high electrochemical activity and good catalytic performance for the detection of bisphenol A. The linear calibration curves are obtained within a wide concentration range from 0.05 μmol L−1 to 10 μmol L−1, and the limit of detection is 3.6 nmol L−1 for bisphenol A. Moreover, this sensor also demonstrates excellent reproducibility, stability, and good anti-interference ability. The sensor was successfully applied to determine bisphenol A in practical samples, and the satisfactory recovery rate was between 95.5% and 102.0%. Based on the great electrochemical properties and practical application results, this electrochemical sensor has broad application prospects in the sensing of bisphenol A. A new electrochemical sensor for bisphenol A is reported. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a sol–gel combustion method. A nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode exhibited outstanding electrochemical performance for the detection of bisphenol A.![]()

Abstract
Rechargeable zinc-air batteries are considered to be more sustainable and efficient candidates for safe, low-cost energy storage because of their higher energy density and the abundance of zinc resources. Recently Zn-air batteries have aroused significant research attention, however, because an unresolved impediment due to the notorious instability of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics of the cathode catalyst limit their practical application. Herein, we report the synthesis of non-precious MnCo2O4 nanospheres synergized with a graphene sheet as a bi-functional cathode catalyst for rechargeable Zn-air battery application using a one-pot probe sonochemical method. Structural characterization confirms that the MnCo2O4 nanospheres successfully anchored on graphene sheet. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the Mn and Co in the MnCo2O4 are in mixed valence states on the graphene sheet surface and the MnCo2O4-graphene sheet (MCO-GS) hybrid catalyst exhibits excellent OER and ORR activity compared with their individual counterparts. A rechargeable Zn-air battery using an MCO-GS catalyst reveals unique small charge-discharge overpotential, cycling stability and higher rate capability than a bare MnCo2O4 (MCO) catalyst. This superiority in electrocatalytic activity combined with simplicity of material synthesis, turn the MCO-GS hybrid into a promising catalyst for a rechargeable Zn-air battery.

Abstract
A series of CoxNi1−xFe2O4/multi-walled carbon nanotube (CoxNi1−xFe2O4/MWCNTs) nanocomposites as photocatalysts were successfully synthesized, where CoxNi1−xFe2O4 was synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal approach. Simultaneously, methylene blue (MB) was used as the research object to investigate the catalytic effect of the catalyst in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The results showed that all the photocatalysts exhibited enhanced catalytic activity compared to pure ferrite. In addition, compared with the other photocatalysts, the reaction time was greatly shortened a significantly higher removal rate was achieved using 3-CNF/MWCNTs. There was no significant decrease in photodegradation efficiency after three catalytic cycles, suggesting that CoxNi1−xFe2O4/MWCNTs are recyclable photocatalysts for wastewater treatment. Our results indicate that the CoxNi1−xFe2O4/MWCNT composite can be effectively applied for the removal of organic pollutants as a novel photocatalyst. A series of CoxNi1−xFe2O4/multi-walled carbon nanotube (CoxNi1−xFe2O4/MWCNTs) nanocomposites as photocatalysts were successfully synthesized.

Abstract
Highly active, stable electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is sincerely required for the practical application of water splitting to get rid from the sluggish reaction kinetics and the stability issue. Here, Co3O4 is studied as OER catalyst and to improve the electrocatalytic activity, carbon is chosen as the conducting support. A simple and cost-effective synthetic route is developed for the synthesis of Co3O4 on carbon support following hydrothermal route using various hydrolyzing agents. The heterostructure 'Co3O4/C' perform well in OER as a non-precious metal catalyst. The best Co3O4/C electrocatalyst can generate 10 and 30 mA/cm2 current densities upon application of 1.623 V and 1.678 V vs. RHE whereas, bare Co3O4 can generate current density of 10 and 30 mA/cm2 upon application of 1.677 and 1.754 V vs. RHE. Carbon in the heterostructure helps to improve the conductivity and at the same time enhances the charge transfer ability which further leads to increase current density and stability to the catalyst. Co3O4/C can generate unaltered current density up to 1000 cycles.

Abstract
The fast development of nanoscience and nanotechnology has significantly advanced the fabrication of nanocatalysts and the in-depth study of the structural-activity characteristics of materials at the atomic level. Vacancies, as typical atomic defects or imperfections that widely exist in solid materials, are demonstrated to effectively modulate the physicochemical, electronic, and catalytic properties of nanomaterials, which is a key concept and hot research topic in nanochemistry and nanocatalysis. The recent experimental and theoretical progresses achieved in the preparation and application of vacancy-rich nanocatalysts for electrochemical water splitting are explored. Engineering of vacancies has shown to open up a new avenue beyond the traditional morphology, size, and composition modifications for the development of nonprecious electrocatalysts toward efficient energy conversion. First, an introduction followed by discussions of different types of vacancies, the approaches to create vacancies, and the advanced techniques widely used to characterize these vacancies are presented. Importantly, the correlations between the vacancies and activities of the vacancy-rich electrocatalysts via tuning the electronic states, active sites, and kinetic energy barriers are reviewed. Finally, perspectives on the existing challenges along with some opportunities for the further development of vacancy-rich noble metal-free electrocatalysts with high performance are discussed.

Abstract
The development of efficient, cost-effective and long-lived electro-catalyst is necessary for the realization of practically viable water-splitting systems. A trifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting (hydrogen evolution, oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction, HER/ORR/OER) was designed via eco-friendly and facial way. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded in nitrogen doped mesoporous carbon were prepared using chicken egg white/albumin after pyrolysis at different temperatures, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 °C. The specific surface area, pore size and the interaction between CoFe2O4 nanoparticles and carbon matrix were tuned via pyrolysis temperature. The catalyst prepared at 900 °C, (N/CF-EC-900) exhibit superior catalytic activity as well as the superior stability than that other nanocomposites prepared and other commercial catalyst (Pt/C, RuO2) for water splitting. Our findings emphasize the importance of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles embedded in the carbon and suggest the catalytic activities with low onset potential, high current densities, small Tafel slope in basic medium.
