[PMID: 39104553 PMCID: PMC11298862 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2024.100449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant interest in photocatalytic technologies utilizing semiconductors and photosensitizers responsive to solar light, owing to their potential for energy and environmental applications. Current efforts are focused on enhancing existing photocatalysts and developing new ones tailored for environmental uses. Anthraquinones (AQs) serve as redox-active electron transfer mediators and photochemically active organic photosensitizers, effectively addressing common issues such as low light utilization and carrier separation efficiency found in conventional semiconductors. AQs offer advantages such as abundant raw materials, controlled preparation, excellent electron transfer capabilities, and photosensitivity, with applications spanning the energy, medical, and environmental sectors. Despite their utility, comprehensive reviews on AQs-based photocatalytic systems in environmental contexts are lacking. In this review, we thoroughly describe the photochemical properties of AQs and their potential applications in photocatalysis, particularly in addressing key environmental challenges like clean energy production, antibacterial action, and pollutant degradation. However, AQs face limitations in practical photocatalytic applications due to their low electrical conductivity and solubility-related secondary contamination. To mitigate these issues, the design and synthesis of graphene-immobilized AQs are highlighted as a solution to enhance practical photocatalytic applications. Additionally, future research directions are proposed to deepen the understanding of AQs' theoretical mechanisms and to provide practical applications for wastewater treatment. This review aims to facilitate mechanistic studies and practical applications of AQs-based photocatalytic technologies and to improve understanding of these technologies.

Abstract
Dopant engineering can be a very selective approach in designing hybrid materials. Incorporating the required functionality in a dopant effectively modulates its properties towards aimed applications. Consequently, this work through a comparative study envisaged the incorporation of chalcogenides (S, Se, and Te) in a biphenyl motif based on the analysis of major photocatalytic descriptors. Bischalcogenides as tuned dopants have been impressive in enhancing the surface area, increasing crystallinity and facilitating band gap shifts towards better light harvesting. In addition, the chalcogen effect was observed to induce preferential ion migration, leading to effective charge separation and attenuated recombination rates. Photocatalytic descriptors evaluated from electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and photoluminescence data corroborated the chalcogen effect in the observed trend (Ph)2 < (PhS)2 < (PhSe)2 < (PhTe)2. The diphenyl diselenide polypyrrole nanocomposite emerged to be better among the studied systems. (PhSe)2/PPY was characterized and comprehensively evaluated for its photocatalytic activity towards varied dye classes and the colorless isoniazid antibiotic under environmentally viable conditions. Its calculated band potential values and scavenger experiments indicate OH˙ and O2 ˙- as dominant species in its photocatalytic activity. Control experiments confirmed photocatalytic degradation over photolysis as the dye decolouration mechanism. Taken together, (PhSe)2/PPY emerges as a good propensity photocatalyst worthy of real time customization for wastewater treatment on a pilot scale.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen production and pollutant degradation using a heterogeneous photocatalyst remains an alternative route for mitigating the impending pollution and energy crisis. Hence, the development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly semiconducting materials with high solar light captivation nature is imperative. To overcome this challenge, α-MnO2 nanorod (NR)-modified MOF UiO-66-NH2 (UNH) was prepared via a facile solvothermal method, which is efficient toward H2 evolution and oxy-tetracycline hydrochloride (O-TCH) degradation. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) results of the α-MnO2@UNH (MnU) hybrid reveals its nanorod embedded in MOF matrix, and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result confirms the interaction of UNH moiety with α-MnO2 NRs. Additionally, the outstanding separation of photogenerated excitons and the charge-transfer efficacy are further validated by photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transient photocurrent analysis, which are the key causes for photoactivity augmentation in the MnU composites. The MnU-2 composite shows a superior O-TCH degradation efficiency of 93.23% and an excellent H2 production rate of about 410.6 μmol h-1 upon light irradiation. This study provides significant evidence in favor of the suggested mediator-free S-scheme-adapted charge migration path, and it effectively explains the enhanced exciton separation leading to extraordinary catalytic efficiency of the proposed composite.

Abstract
Previous bismuth-based photocatalysts usually employ a strong acid solution (e.g., HNO3 solution) to obtain an ultrathin structure toward high photocatalytic activity. In this work, the ultrathin layered BiOIO3 nanosheets are successfully synthesized using just the glucose hydrothermal solution. The high-concentration glucose solution shows the obvious acidity after the hydrothermal process, which leads to the quick decrease in thickness of BiOIO3 nanosheets from ∼45.58 to ∼5.74 nm. The ultrathin structure can greatly improve charge carriers' separation and transfer efficiency. The generation of reductive iodide ions brings about oxygen vacancies in the ultrathin nanosheets, then the defect energy level is formed, causing the decreased band gap and improving the visible light absorption. Compared to thick BiOIO3 nanosheet with little oxygen vacancies, much higher carrier separation efficiency and visible light absorption are achieved in the ultrathin nanosheets with oxygen vacancies, resulting in an excellent photocatalytic performance (0.1980 min-1 for RhB degradation), which is much higher than most other bismuth-based photocatalysts. The superoxide radicals (•O2-) and holes (h+) are the major active species responsible for high photocatalytic activity. This work affords an environmentally friendly strategy to synthesize ultrathin photocatalysts with superior photocatalytic properties.

Abstract
The mesoporous multi-shelled hollow structures are promising for trapping of non-degradable heavy metal ions in wastewater but difficult to synthesize. We successfully demonstrated a simple strategy for the construction of mesopore windows on double-shelled α-Fe2O3 hollow spheres. A step-by-step proof of concept synthesis mechanism has been revealed by using mainly electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. We proved that mesopore windows are indispensable to realize the complete surface coverage of phosphonate ligands on α-Fe2O3 double-shelled hollow spheres. The phosphonic groups inherently coordinated with Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions and formed complexes of high stability. Importantly, owing to the structural merits, the phosphorylated double-shelled hollow spheres selectively removes Ni(II) and Cu(II) at wider sample pH range with a high capacity of 380 mg g-1 and 410 mg g-1, respectively. In addition, no significant decrease in the removal efficiency was observed under high salt matrix. For electroplating industry wastewater, the novel structure performs simultaneous Ni(II) and Cu(II) removal, thus producing effluent of stable quality that meets local discharge regulations.

Abstract
A systematic evaluation of enhancing photocatalysis via aliovalent cation doping is conducted. Cation In3+, being p-type-doped, was chosen to substitute the Sn site (Sn4+) in Li2SnO3, and the photodegradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol was applied as a model reaction. Specifically, Li2Sn0.90In0.10O3 exhibited superior catalytic performance; the photodegradation efficiency reached about 100% within only 12 min. This efficiency is far greater than that of pure Li2SnO3 under identical conditions. Density functional theory calculations reveal that introducing In3+ increased the electron mobility, yet decreased the hole mobility, leading to photogenerated carrier separation. However, photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence suggest that In3+ induced nonradiative coupling in the matrix, reducing the photogenerated carrier separation ratio compared with that of Li2SnO3. The optical band gap of Li2Sn0.90In0.10O3 was almost unchanged compared with that of Li2SnO3 via ultraviolet-visible absorption. The increased photocatalytic efficiency was ascribed to the lower valence band position and enhanced hole concentrations by valence band X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical measurements. Finally, a 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation pathway, an intermediate toxicity assessment, and a photocatalytic mechanism were proposed. This work offers insights into designing and optimizing semiconductor photocatalysts with high performance.

Abstract
This study focuses on a one-pot solvothermal synthetic route for the preparation of uniformly decorated zinc oxide nanoparticles on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (rGO/ZnO-NC) by using Andrographis paniculata leaf aqueous extract as an eco-friendly reducing agent. After characterizing the samples by different physical and chemical techniques, the anticancer activity of the synthesized rGO/ZnO-NC was examined on two human cancerous cell lines (HCT116 and A549) and one normal cell line (hMSCs). The MTT assays revealed that rGO/ZnO-NC exhibited dose-dependent cytotoxicity at a maximum concentration range of 10 ppm and the viability of the cells was drastically decreased to 95-96%. Measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and Annexin V-FTIC staining assay revealed that rGO/ZnO-NC induced apoptosis in HCT116 and A549 cell lines. Thus, this study shows that the green-synthesized rGO/ZnO-NC has great potential in developing an efficacious novel therapeutic agent for cancers.

Abstract
Water pollution engendered from textile dyes and antibiotics is a globally identified precarious concern that is causing dreadful risks to human health as well as aquatic lives. This predicament is escalating the quest to develop competent photocatalysts that can degrade these water pollutants under solar light irradiation. Herein, we report an efficient photocatalyst comprising a hierarchical structure by integrating the layered graphitic carbon nitride (gC3N4) with nanoflakes of exfoliated BiFeO3. The coexistence of these two semiconducting nanomaterials leads to the formation of an S-scheme heterojunction. This nanocomposite demonstrated its excellent photocatalytic activity toward the degradation of several textile dyes (Yel CL2R, Levasol Yellow-CE, Levasol Red-GN, Navy Sol-R, Terq-CL5B) and various antibiotics (such as tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), ciprofloxacin (CPX), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and amoxicillin (AMX)) under the simulated solar light irradiation. As this photocatalyst exhibits its versatile activity toward the degradation of several commercial dyes as well as antibiotics, this work paves the path to develop a reasonable, eco-benign, and highly efficient photocatalyst that can be used in the practical approach to remediate environmental pollution.

Abstract
Compound semiconductor photocatalysis technology is considered to be a promising treatment for solving water problems efficiently. The point of designing high-efficiency catalysts is to optimize the band gap structure and facilitate the separation of charge carriers by establishing new electron migration pathways. Recently, 3D porous CaIn2S4 was found to have good photocatalytic ability. However, the quick recombination and agglomeration of carriers still limit its application. Herein, we prepared a heterostructure by introducing 2D Sr-doped SnS2 to 3D CaIn2S4 by a hydrothermal synthesis method. The optimal dosage of Sr-SnS2 is 3%, and the photocatalytic Cr(VI) removal efficiency of 3% Sr-SnS2/CaIn2S4 (SSCS-3) is 5.82 and 10.83 times those of pure CaIn2S4 and SnS2, respectively. According to the results of characterization tests and calculation verification, we inferred that the enhanced photocatalytic removal of Cr(VI) is due to the introduction of Sr-SnS2 that can promote the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons to the surface of CaIn2S4, and the heterostructure formed between 2D Sr-SnS2 and 3D CaIn2S4 can also provide abundant reaction sites. The promotion of carrier separation is mainly due to the formation of a built-in electric field of the Sr-SnS2/CaIn2S4 heterostructure. This work provides new ideas and technologies for the treatment of Cr(VI) in wastewater.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is closely related to the pathogenesis of certain diseases, so the detection of trace ATP is of great significance to disease diagnosis and drug development. Graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs) have been proven to be a promising platform for the rapid and accurate detection of small molecules, while the Debye shielding limits the sensitive detection in real samples. Here, a three-dimensional wrinkled graphene field-effect transistor (3D WG-FET) biosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of ATP is demonstrated. The lowest detection limit of 3D WG-FET for analyzing ATP is down to 3.01 aM, which is much lower than the reported results. In addition, the 3D WG-FET biosensor shows a good linear electrical response to ATP concentrations in a broad range of detection from 10 aM to 10 pM. Meanwhile, we achieved ultra-sensitive (LOD: 10 aM) and quantitative (range from 10 aM to 100 fM) measurements of ATP in human serum. The 3D WG-FET also exhibits high specificity. This work may provide a novel approach to improve the sensitivity for the detection of ATP in complex biological matrix, showing a broad application value for early clinical diagnosis and food health monitoring.

Abstract
This study aimed to construct an alginate aerogel doped with carbon quantum dots and investigate the fluorescence properties of the composites. The carbon quantum dots with the highest fluorescence intensity were obtained using a methanol-water ratio of 1 : 1, a reaction time of 90 minutes, and a reaction temperature of 160 °C. The fluorescent carbon quantum dot sodium alginate-based aerogel (FCSA) obtained by compounding alginate and carbon quantum dots exhibited excellent fluorescence properties when the concentration of nano-carbon quantum dot solution was 10.0 vol%. By incorporating nano-carbon quantum dots, the fluorescence properties of the lamellar alginate aerogel can be easily and efficiently adjusted. The alginate aerogel decorated with nano-carbon quantum dots exhibits promising potential in biomedical applications due to its biodegradable, biocompatible, and sustainable properties.

Abstract
One of the main objectives in wastewater treatment and sustainable energy production is to find photocatalysts that are favorably efficient and cost-effective. Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are promising photocatalytic materials; out of all, MoS2 is extensively studied as a cocatalyst in the TMD library due to its exceptional photocatalytic activity for the degradation of organic dyes due to its distinctive morphology, adequate optical absorption, and rich active sites. However, sulfur ions on the active edges facilitate the catalytic activity of MoS2. On the basal planes, sulfur ions are catalytically inactive. Injecting metal atoms into the MoS2 lattice is a handy approach for triggering the surface of the basal planes and enriching catalytically active sites. Effective band gap engineering, sulfur edges, and improved optical absorption of Mn-doped MoS2 nanostructures are promising for improving their charge separation and photostimulated dye degradation activity. The percentage of dye degradation of MB under visible-light irradiations was found to be 89.87 and 100% for pristine and 20% Mn-doped MoS2 in 150 and 90 min, respectively. However, the degradation of MB dye was increased when the doping concentration in MoS2 increased from 5 to 20%. The kinetic study showed that the first-order kinetic model described the photodegradation mechanism well. After four cycles, the 20% Mn-doped MoS2 catalysts maintained comparable catalytic efficacy, indicating its excellent stability. The results demonstrated that the Mn-doped MoS2 nanostructures exhibit exceptional visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity and could perform well as a catalyst for industrial wastewater treatment.

Abstract
To fabricate a photocatalytic acrylic paint, TiO2 nanoparticles were surface modified by a bi-functional amino silane (i.e. bis-3-(aminopropyltriethoxysilane)) at different concentrations and applied at 1, 3 and 5 wt% to an acrylic latex. It was found that the surface modification of nano TiO2 enhanced its specific surface area about 42%. The tensile properties of the pristine and nanocomposite acrylic films were assessed. The photocatalytic degradation of aqueous solution and stain of methylene blue (MB) were evaluated (under solar, visible, and UV illuminations) by nanoparticles and nanocomposites, respectively. Results showed that incorporating 3 wt% of the pure and modified nano TiO2 to arylic film caused 62 and 144% increment in the tensile strength. The modified nanoparticles showed higher MB degradation contents under UV, visible and solar irradiation (82, 70, 48%, respectively). The addition of pure and modified nanoparticles to the acrylic film caused decrement in the water contact angle from 84 to 70 and 46°, respectively. It also caused considerable enhancement in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of acrylic film compared to the pristine and pure nanocomposite films (i.e. about 17 and 9 °C, respectively). Furthermore, it was found that the modified nanocomposite caused more color change of MB stain (65%).

Abstract
Nanoparticles can be used as inhibitory agents against various microorganisms, including bacteria, algae, archaea, fungi, and a huge class of viruses. The mechanism of action includes inhibiting the function of the cell membrane/stopping the synthesis of the cell membrane, disturbing the transduction of energy, producing toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), and inhibiting or reducing RNA and DNA production. Various nanomaterials, including different metallic, silicon, and carbon-based nanomaterials and nanoarchitectures, have been successfully used against different viruses. Recent research strongly agrees that these nanoarchitecture-based virucidal materials (nano-antivirals) have shown activity in the solid state. Therefore, they are very useful in the development of several products, such as fabric and high-touch surfaces. This review thoroughly and critically identifies recently developed nano-antivirals and their products, nano-antiviral deposition methods on various substrates, and possible mechanisms of action. By considering the commercial viability of nano-antivirals, recommendations are made to develop scalable and sustainable nano-antiviral products with contact-killing properties.

Abstract
In order to overcome the problems of poor corrosion resistance and low hydrophobicity of water-based coatings. Two corrosion-inhibiting materials, graphene oxide (GO) and modified chitosan (MCS), were added to the coatings to obtain a new type of coating with comprehensive properties. The composite material formed by PVA cross-linked waterborne epoxy resin was named "substrate". The density functional theory (DFT) calculation was used to explore the binding ability of MCS and GO-grafted MCS to the substrate, respectively. The results showed that the complex cross-linked network structure formed by the grafting of GO and MCS not only improved the intermolecular interaction force but also improved the binding ability to the substrate, and the coating is denser, effectively delaying the erosion to the coating by the corrosive medium. The composite coating exhibited excellent dual functional properties of hydrophobicity and corrosion resistance at the coating-metal interface, and a stronger protective effect was formed upon the steel plate. Studies showed that this composite coating has good hydrophobic properties. (The contact angle of the composite waterborne coating reaches 87°.) It also has low self-corrosion current (0.28/cm-2) and high corrosion voltage (-0.45 V). The maximum inhibition efficiency of the coating is 99.97%.

Abstract
Hydrogels have blossomed as superstars in various fields, owing to their prospective applications in tissue engineering, soft electronics and sensors, flexible energy storage, and biomedicines. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, especially 2D mono-elemental nanosheets (Xenes) exhibit high aspect ratio morphology, good biocompatibility, metallic conductivity, and tunable electrochemical properties. These fascinating characteristics endow numerous tunable application-specific properties for the construction of Xene-based hydrogels. Hierarchical multifunctional hydrogels can be prepared according to the application requirements and can be effectively tuned by different stimulation to complete specific tasks in a spatiotemporal sequence. In this review, the synthesis mechanism, properties, and emerging applications of Xene hydrogels are summarized, followed by a discussion on expanding the performance and application range of both hydrogels and Xenes.

Abstract
In recent years, carbon quantum dots (CQDs) have received widespread attention owing to their non-toxicity, sustainability, excellent photostability, and intrinsic photoluminescence properties. In particular, CQDs have attracted considerable interest for visible-light-driven photocatalysis because of their excellent electron transfer characteristics and high light capture efficiency. Many studies have reported CQDs/photocatalyst composite systems constructed to make full use of the solar spectrum, improving the ability of photocatalytic materials to degrade organic pollutants. Here, we review the recent research on CQDs-based photocatalysts, and their ability to remove environmental pollutants, with a special emphasis on degradation mechanisms. Several improvements in the catalytic response of CQDs to visible light are also included. In addition, we discuss the aspects that should be considered to construct composite materials based on CQD characteristics and the potential applications of CQD-based photocatalysts for efficient utilization of visible light.

Abstract
In recent times, access to clean water has become increasingly difficult and one of the most important problems for the sustainability of life due to environmental pollution. Based on this thought, in this study, a multifunctional hydrogel nanocomposite (nanoclay@TiO2@PNVP) containing linear poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PNVP), nanoclay, and TiO2 nanoparticles was synthesized and used as an adsorbent and photocatalyst for the adsorption-based and photocatalytic degradation-based removal of organic and pharmaceutical pollutants such as methylene blue (MB) and sildenafil citrate (SLD). The modification of the hydrogel with TiO2 nanoparticles and nanoclay aimed to increase the adsorption capacity of the PNVP hydrogel as well as to gain photocatalytic properties for the effective removal of organic contaminants. This hybrid material, which can be cleaned in two different ways, can be reused and recycled at least 10 times. Characterization studies were carried out using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential thermogravimetry, and viscosimetry techniques. Optimization studies for the adsorption-based removal of organic contaminants were carried out on MB and SLD as model organic compounds. The optimum parameters for MB were found at pH 10 of the sample solution when 50 mg of the nanoclay@TiO2@PNVP hydrogel nanocomposite was used for 420 min of contact time. It was observed that 99% of the MB was photocatalytically degraded within 150 min at pH 10. Our material had multifunctional applicability properties, showing high adsorption and photocatalytic performances over 99% for at least 10 times of use. For the removal of organic and pharmaceutical contaminants from wastewater, the synthesized material can be used in two treatment processes separately or in combination in one step, providing an important advantage for its usability in environmental applications.

Abstract
The rapid population growth and industrial expansion worldwide have created serious water contamination concerns. To curb the pollution issue, it has become imperative to use a versatile material for the treatment. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been recognized as the most-studied nanoparticle in various fields of science and engineering due to its availability, low cost, efficiency, and other fascinating properties with a wide range of applications in modern technology. Recent studies revealed the photocatalytic activity of the material for the treatment of industrial effluents to promote environmental sustainability. With the wide band gap energy of 3.2 eV, TiO2 can be activated under UV light; thus, many strategies have been proposed to extend its photoabsorption to the visible light region. In what follows, this has generated increasing attention to study its characteristics and structural modifications in different forms for photocatalytic applications. The present review provides an insight into the understanding of the synthesis methods of TiO2, the current progress in the treatment techniques for the degradation of wide environmental pollutants employing modified TiO2 nanoparticles, and the factors affecting its photocatalytic activities. Further, recent developments in using titania for practical applications, the approach for designing novel nanomaterials, and the prospects and opportunities in this exciting area have been discussed.

Abstract
Cation disorder in hydroxide-based perovskites remains relatively under-researched. In this work, novel hydroxide-based perovskite Sn1/3Na2/3Sn(OH)6 was first fabricated by a direct hydrothermal method, and its ability to photodegrade 2,4-dichlorophenol was evaluated. The synthesized photocatalyst is isostructural with MSn(OH)6 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, or Zn), where the M site is occupied by disordered Sn4+/Na+. Sn1/3Na2/3Sn(OH)6 exhibits outstanding photocatalytic activity under ultraviolet light. Specifically, 99% of 2,4-DCP is photodegraded in 40 min, with approximately 94% of its total chlorine content converted to Cl- anions. Radical trapping experiments indicated that superoxide radical anions (·O2-) play a critical role during the photocatalytic process. Finally, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was conducted to monitor the photocatalytic intermediates. Overall, our findings demonstrate that hydroxide-based perovskites with cation disorder show promise for application in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Peroxydisulfate (PDS)-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been demonstrated to be an effective technology for the removal of refractory organic contaminants from the aquatic environment. Herein, a photothermal synergistic strategy is developed to realize the green activation of PDS under solar light irradiation. An innovative solar photothermal reaction system and its corresponding evaluation method are established. The results show that there is a synergistic effect between light and light-generated thermal effects on the activation of PDS for effectively removing fulvic acid (FA). The maximum degradation percentage of FA increases from 42.6% to 90.8% after introducing ZrC nanoparticles as photothermal materials. The maximum temperature of the whole system is up to 66.4 ℃ after 120 min irradiation at 0.007 wt% solid content of ZrC, which is higher by 26.9% compared with that in the absence of ZrC nanoparticles. Furthermore, the underlying mechanism and PDS activation efficiency are deeply investigated. This work provides a viable strategy for directly using solar radiation to activate PDS for degrading refractory organic compounds, which creates a new avenue toward the utilization of solar energy for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
The materials showing multiple applications are appealing for their practical use and industrial production. To realize the suitable property for various applications, we have produced ZnS (sf-ZnS) and metal-doped ZnS nanoflakes (sf-m-ZnS; where m = Cu, Ni, Cd, Bi, or Mn) and correlated their activity with bandgap variation. We obtained all these materials via hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)-assisted synthetic method without using any surfactants, polymers, or template molecules and characterized them thoroughly using various techniques. Photocatalytic, as well as antibacterial, activities of these materials showed their bifunctional utility. We have demonstrated the effect of doping and consequent extension of absorption band to the visible region and resultant improved photocatalytic activity under sunlight. Thus, the change in bandgap influenced their performance as photocatalysts. Among all materials produced, sf-Cd-ZnS provided superior results as a photocatalyst while degrading two organic pollutants-rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) in water. The antibacterial activity of sf-ZnS and sf-m-ZnS against Gram-positive bacteria, i.e., Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), was examined by the zone of inhibition method, wherein sf-Ni-ZnS showed maximum activity. The enhanced activity of these ZnS materials can be attributed to the free surface of nanoparticles without any capping by organic molecules, which provided an intimate interaction of inorganic semiconductor material with organic and biomolecules. Thus, we have demonstrated modification of properties both by bandgap tuning of materials and providing the opportunity for intimate interaction of materials with substrates. The photocatalytic activity and antibacterial action of metal-doped ZnS produced by our method exhibited their potential for environmental remediation, specifically water purification.

Abstract
Bi-based photocatalysts have been considered suitable materials for water disinfection under natural solar light due to their outstanding optical and electronic properties. However, until now, there are not extensive reviews about the development of Bi-based materials and their application in bacterial inactivation in aqueous solutions. For this reason, this work has focused on summarizing the state of the art related to the inactivation of Gram- and Gram + pathogenic bacteria under visible light irradiation using different Bi-based micro and nano structures. In this sense, the photocatalytic bacterial inactivation mechanisms are analyzed, considering several modifications. The factors that can affect the photocatalytic performance of these materials in real conditions and at a large scale (e.g., water characteristics, pH, light intensity, photocatalyst dosage, and bacteria level) have been studied. Furthermore, current alternatives for improving the photocatalytic antibacterial activity and reuse of Bi-based materials (e.g., surface engineering, crystal facet engineering, doping, noble metal coupling, heterojunctions, Z-scheme junctions, coupling with graphene derivatives, magnetic composites, immobilization) have been explored. According to several reports, inactivation rate values higher than 90% can be achieved by using the modified Bi-based micro/nano structures, which become them excellent candidates for photocatalytic water disinfection. However, these innovative photocatalytic materials bring a variety of future difficulties and opportunities in water disinfection.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease-2019 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been one of the most challenging worldwide epidemics of recent times. Semiconducting materials (photocatalysts) could prove effectual solar-light-driven technology on account of variant reactive oxidative species (ROS), including superoxide (•O2 - ) and hydroxyl (•OH) radicals either by degradation of proteins, DNA, RNA, or preventing cell development by terminating cellular membrane. Graphene-based materials have been exquisitely explored for antiviral applications due to their extraordinary physicochemical features including large specific surface area, robust mechanical strength, tunable structural features, and high electrical conductivity. Considering that, the present study highlights a perspective on the potentials of graphene based materials for photocatalytic antiviral activity. The interaction of virus with the surface of graphene based nanomaterials and the consequent physical, as well as ROS induced inactivation process, has been highlighted and discussed. It is highly anticipated that the present review article emphasizing mechanistic antiviral insights could accelerate further research in this field.

Abstract
A simple temperature-assisted solution interaction technique was used to functionalize and reduce graphene oxide (GO) using tetraethylenepentamine (TEPA) with less chemicals, low temperature, and without using other reducing agents. GO nanosheets, produced using a modified Hummers’ method, were functionalized using two different GO:TEPA ratios (1:5 and 1:10). The reduction of GO was evaluated and confirmed by different spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The FTIR and XPS spectra revealed that most of the oxygenated groups of GO were reduced. The emergence of amide groups in the XPS survey of the rGO-TEPA samples confirmed the successful reaction of TEPA with the carboxyl groups on the edges of GO. The replacement of the oxygenated groups increased the carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio of GO by approximately 60%, suggesting a good reduction degree. It was found that the I2D/ID+D′ ratio and the relative intensity of the D″ band clearly increased after the reduction reaction, suggesting that these bands are good estimators for the reduction degree of GO. The morphological structure of GO was also affected by the reaction with TEPA, which was confirmed by SEM and TEM images. The TEM images showed that the transparent GO sheets became denser and opaque after functionalization with TEPA, indicating an increase in the stacking level of the GO sheets. This was further confirmed by the XRD analysis, which showed a clear decrease in the d-spacing, caused by the removal of oxygenated groups during the reduction reaction.

Abstract
The growing prevalence of new toxins in the environment continues to cause widespread concerns. Pharmaceuticals, organic pollutants, heavy metal ions, endocrine-disrupting substances, microorganisms, and others are examples of persistent organic chemicals whose effects are unknown because they have recently entered the environment and are displaying up in wastewater treatment facilities. Pharmaceutical pollutants in discharged wastewater have become a danger to animals, marine species, humans, and the environment. Although their presence in drinking water has generated significant concerns, little is known about their destiny and environmental effects. As a result, there is a rising need for selective, sensitive, quick, easy-to-handle, and low-cost early monitoring detection systems. This study aims to deliver an overview of a low-cost carbon-based composite to detect and remove pharmaceutical components from wastewater using the literature reviews and bibliometric analysis technique from 1970 to 2021 based on the web of science (WoS) database. Various pollutants in water and soil were reviewed, and different methods were introduced to detect pharmaceutical pollutants. The advantages and drawbacks of varying carbon-based materials for sensing and removing pharmaceutical wastes were also introduced. Finally, the available techniques for wastewater treatment, challenges and future perspectives on the recent progress were highlighted. The suggestions in this article will facilitate the development of novel on-site methods for removing emerging pollutants from pharmaceutical effluents and commercial enterprises.

Abstract
The interest in the removal of emerging contaminants has increased in the last decade. Photocatalytic degradation using p-n heterojunctions could effectively provide the degradation of these type of substances that are persistent in the environment. In this work, the synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic evaluation of TiO2-F as well as CuO/TiO2-F and NiO/TiO2-F composite materials were studied in the photo-assisted degradation of caffeine using UV radiation. The fluorination of titanium dioxide induced changes in some physicochemical properties of the materials, which contributed to a decrease in surface area and bandgap energy as well as an increase in crystallite size as compared to pristine TiO2. ≡Ti-F species were evidenced to be formed, which could favor charge separation processes. A highest segregation of CuO species in comparison with NiO on the surface of TiO2-F could be formed, which could increase defect sites and decrease the band gap. The formation of a heterojunction between the semiconductors was evidenced, responsible for the observed improvements in photocatalytic properties of the composite materials. The photocatalytic tests evidenced an important degradation of caffeine; however, mineralization was incomplete. The stability of the composite materials and their potential use in the photocatalytic treatment of caffeine was evaluated by reuse tests.

Abstract
Alkali metals have been known for their intercalation properties and can be employed for the separation of stacking in sheet-like materials. In this work, alkali metals (Na, K, Rb and Cs) have been systematically incorporated in varying concentrations in g-C3N4 sheets and their effect on resulting optical, surface and photocatalytic properties have been explored in detail. It was observed that the optical, electronic and surface properties of g-C3N4 were altered upon the incorporation of different alkali metal ions. The band gap and specific surface area of resulting materials were decreased as compared to the pristine g-C3N4. In addition, the alkali metal incorporation in g-C3N4 sheets showed the formation of cyanide groups and nitrogen vacancies in the resulted materials. Further, the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 and alkali metal incorporated g-C3N4 was calculated by studying the degradation of acid red 94 dye under visible light irradiation. It was observed that the photocatalytic activity of pristine g-C3N4 sheets was decreased with an increase in the concentration of alkali salt used during the synthesis of alkali metal incorporated g-C3N4. This decrease in the activity could arise due to the decreased surface area, detrimental amount of nitrogen vacancies and high concentration of alkali metal ions incorporated in the structural framework of g-C3N4 sheets. This work provides a unique example of the adverse effect of alkali metal ions on photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 and paves future directions for the improvement of the performance of g-C3N4 based materials.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based local delivery systems provide a good delivery platform for cancer immunotherapy. Injectable hydrogels can directly deliver antitumor drugs to the tumor site to reduce systemic toxicity and achieve low-dose amplification immunotherapy. Therefore, it may overcome the problems of low drug utilization rate and the systemic side effects in cancer immunotherapy through systemic immune drugs, and it provides simple operation and little invasion at the same time. This study aimed to review the research progress of injectable hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy in recent years. Moreover, the local delivery of multiple drugs using injectable hydrogels in tumors is introduced to achieve single immunotherapy, combined chemo-immunotherapy, combined radio-immunotherapy, and photo-immunotherapy. Finally, the application of hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy is summarized, and the challenges and prospects for injectable hydrogels in tumor immunotherapy are proposed.
