Abstract
The ever-growing demand of human society for clean and reliable energy sources spurred a substantial academic interest in exploring the potential of biological resources for developing energy generation and storage systems. As a result, alternative energy sources are needed in populous developing countries to compensate for energy deficits in an environmentally sustainable manner. This review aims to evaluate and summarize the recent progress in bio-based polymer composites (PCs) for energy generation and storage. The articulated review provides an overview of energy storage systems, e. g., supercapacitors and batteries, and discusses the future possibilities of various solar cells (SCs), using both past research progress and possible future developments as a basis for discussion. These studies examine systematic and sequential advances in different generations of SCs. Developing novel PCs that are efficient, stable, and cost-effective is of utmost importance. In addition, the current state of high-performance equipment for each of the technologies is evaluated in detail. We also discuss the prospects, future trends, and opportunities regarding using bioresources for energy generation and storage, as well as the development of low-cost and efficient PCs for SCs.

Abstract
Heavy metal removal from polluted environments is one of the vital research areas for better and healthier living. In this research, C8 and B4N4 nanocage-like quantum dots are investigated for heavy metal (Cr) removal applications via density functional theory calculations. The adsorption of up to two Cr atoms has been studied in both air and a water medium. The adsorption of Cr atoms results in significant structural deformation of the adsorbents with a high adsorption energy of -8.74 and -5.77 eV for C8 and B4N4 nanostructures, respectively, which is further increased with an increasing number of Cr atoms. All adsorbents and complex structures showed real vibrational frequencies. Mulliken charge and electrostatic potential analysis reveal a significant charge transfer between adsorbate-adsorbent. The adsorption process causes a decrease in the energy gap of the adsorbents. All the reactions in this study were spontaneous and thermodynamically ordered. QTAIM analysis verifies that the interactions of the adsorbents with Cr atoms are strong partial covalent. The study's findings make C8 and B4N4 nanostructures potential candidates for Cr-detection and removal applications.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new class of porous crystalline materials composed of metal and organic material. MOFs have fascinating properties, such as fine tunability, large specific surface area, and high porosity. MOFs are widely used for environmental protection, biosensors, regenerative medicine, medical engineering, cell therapy, catalysts, and drug delivery. Recent studies have reported various significant properties of MOFs for biomedical applications, such as drug detection and delivery. In contrast, MOFs have limitations such as low stability and low specificity in binding to the target. MOF-based membranes improve the stability and specificity of conventional MOFs by increasing the surface area and developing the possibility of MOF-ligand binding, while conjugated membranes dramatically increase the area of active functional groups. This special property makes them attractive for drug and biosensor fabrication, as both the spreading and solubility components of the porosity can be changed. Asymmetric membranes are a structure with high potential in the biomedical field, due to the different characteristics on its two surfaces, the possibility of adjusting various properties such as the size of porosity, transfer rate and selectivity, and surface properties such as hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. MOF assisted asymmetric membranes can provide a platform with different properties and characteristics in the biomedical field. The latest version of MOF materials/membranes has several potential applications, especially in medical engineering, cell therapy, drug delivery, and regenerative medicine, which will be discussed in this review, along with their advantages, disadvantages, and challenges.

Abstract
The undesirable side effects of conventional chemotherapy are one of the major problems associated with cancer treatment. Recently, with the development of novel nanomaterials, tumor-targeted therapies have been invented in order to achieve more specific cancer treatment with reduced unfavorable side effects of chemotherapic agents on human cells. However, the clinical application of nanomedicines has some shortages, such as the reduced ability to cross biological barriers and undesirable side effects in normal cells. In this order, bioinspired materials are developed to minimize the related side effects due to their excellent biocompatibility and higher accumulation therapies. As bioinspired and biomimetic materials are mainly composed of a nanometric functional agent and a biologic component, they can possess both the physicochemical properties of nanomaterials and the advantages of biologic agents, such as prolonged circulation time, enhanced biocompatibility, immune modulation, and specific targeting for cancerous cells. Among the nanomaterials, asymmetric nanomaterials have gained attention as they provide a larger surface area with more active functional sites compared to symmetric nanomaterials. Additionally, the asymmetric nanomaterials are able to function as two or more distinct components due to their asymmetric structure. The mentioned properties result in unique physiochemical properties of asymmetric nanomaterials, which makes them desirable materials for anti-cancer drug delivery systems or cancer bio-imaging systems. In this review, we discuss the use of bioinspired and biomimetic materials in the treatment of cancer, with a special focus on asymmetric nanoparticle anti-cancer agents.

Abstract
The present study employs density functional theory-based first principle calculation to investigate the electron transport properties of polyaniline following exposure to acidic and alkaline pH. In-situ deposited polyaniline-based paper device maintains emeraldine salt form while it is exposed to acidic pH and converts to emeraldine base when it is subjected to alkaline pH solutions. These structural changes at acidic and alkaline pH are validated experimentally by Raman spectra. Furthermore, the Raman spectra computed from density functional theory are validated with the experimental spectra. The changes in the theoretical energy band gap of polyaniline obtained from first principle calculations were correlated with the changes in the experimental impedimetric response of the sensor after exposure to acidic and alkaline solutions. Finally, the impedimetric responses were used to predict urine pH through a machine learning based smart and interactive web application. Different machine learning based regression models were implemented to acquire the best possible outcome. Gradient Boosting Regressor with least square loss model was selected as it showed lowest mean square, mean absolute, and root mean square error than other models. The smart sensing platform successfully predicts the unknown pH of urine samples with an average accuracy of more than 98%. The locally deployed smart web app can be accessed within a local area network by the end-user, which holds promise towards effective detection of urinary pH.

Abstract
Due to their numerous effects on human health and the natural environment, water contamination with heavy metals and metalloids, caused by their extensive use in various technologies and industrial applications, continues to be a huge ecological issue that needs to be urgently tackled. Additionally, within the circular economy management framework, the recovery and recycling of metals-based waste as high value-added products (VAPs) is of great interest, owing to their high cost and the continuous depletion of their reserves and natural sources. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art technologies developed for the removal and recovery of metal pollutants from wastewater by providing an in-depth understanding of their remediation mechanisms, while analyzing and critically discussing the recent key advances regarding these treatment methods, their practical implementation and integration, as well as evaluating their advantages and remaining limitations. Herein, various treatment techniques are covered, including adsorption, reduction/oxidation, ion exchange, membrane separation technologies, solvents extraction, chemical precipitation/co-precipitation, coagulation-flocculation, flotation, and bioremediation. A particular emphasis is placed on full recovery of the captured metal pollutants in various reusable forms as metal-based VAPs, mainly as solid precipitates, which is a powerful tool that offers substantial enhancement of the remediation processes' sustainability and cost-effectiveness. At the end, we have identified some prospective research directions for future work on this topic, while presenting some recommendations that can promote sustainability and economic feasibility of the existing treatment technologies.

Abstract
As a consequence of industrial activities, one of the most prevalent components in wastewater is Water-soluble dyes needed to be removed. In this research, eco-friendly adsorbents based on poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS), including PGS-graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO), PGS-graft-chitosan(CS), and PGS-CS-GO nanocomposites, have been proposed as efficient dye adsorbents for the wastewater treatment procedure. FESEM images showed that a smooth and uniform structure was created over incorporating CS into PGS. Besides, the presence of CS within PGS/GO nanocomposites had a positive impact on the exfoliation of GO. Moreover, it was found that the incorporation of both CS and GO into PGS reduced the glass transition of PGS. Besides, their coexistence can probably increase the chain regularity in the polymer matrix and cause a relatively larger crystal size of PGS. In this regard, the ternary nanocomposite saw a Tg value of -29.4 °C. A high adsorption capacity of 178 mg g-1, as well as 99 removal% efficiency, were observed in the case of the PGS-CS-GO sample after 300 min at a dye concentration of 100 mg L-1 and pH 7. Additionally, the adsorption capacity value of the adsorbent was preserved around 129 mg g-1 after 7 cycles of adsorption-desorption. The findings revealed that innovatively synthesized PGS-g-CS/GO nanocomposites could efficiently remove methylene blue from water solutions. Hence, they can be used as a powerful and influential dye adsorbent to purify water solutions.

Abstract
Eco-friendly nanocomposite aerogels were prepared as adsorbents for the removal of a model pollutant (methylene blue, MB) from water. These aerogels were comprised of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles embedded within a polymer matrix consisting of a semi-interpenetrating network of xanthan gum (XG) and polyacrylic acid (PAA). Microscopy and BET analysis showed that the aerogels formed had a nanofibrous porous microstructure with a surface area of 89 m2/g. Rheological analysis showed that the aerogels were viscoelastic materials whose elasticity increased with increasing HA concentration (up to 5 w/w%). The aerogels were effective at removing MB from water, exhibiting an adsorption capacity of 130 mg/g after 200 min. The binding of the MB to the aerogels was mainly attributed to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic attraction. A reusability test showed that the MB removal efficiency of over 86% was preserved after 10 cycles of adsorption-desorption. These results suggest that our nanocomposite aerogels may be useful for the efficient removal of anionic pollutants from wastewater and water supplies due to their ease of synthesis, cost-effectiveness, good mechanical properties, high thermal stability, and good adsorption performance.

Abstract
In this study, β-CD@mesoporous SiO2 nanospheres (β-CD@mSi) were prepared by loading β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) onto mesoporous silica nanospheres through an in situ synthesis. This not only solved the defect of β-CD being easily soluble in water, but also changed the physical structure of the mesoporous silica nanospheres. FTIR and XPS results showed that β-CD was successfully loaded onto mesoporous silica nanospheres (mSi), while enhancing the adsorption effect. β-CD@mSi with a monomer diameter of about 150 nm were prepared. At a temperature of 298k, the removal efficiency of a 100 mg/L solution of rifampicin can reach 90% in 4 h and the adsorption capacity was 275.42 mg g-1 at high concentration. Through the calculation and analysis of adsorption kinetics, adsorption isotherms and adsorption thermodynamics based on the experimental data, the reaction is a spontaneous endothermic reaction dominated by chemical adsorption. The electron transfer pathway, structure-activity relationship and energy between β-CD@mSi and rifampicin were investigated by quantum chemical calculations. The accuracy of the characterization test results to judge the adsorption mechanism was verified, to show the process of rifampicin removal by β-CD@mSi more clearly and convincingly. The simulation results show that π-π interaction plays a major interaction in the reaction process, followed by intermolecular hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.
