Mahich S, Saini YK, Devra V, Aggarwal K, Kumar A, Kumar D, Singh A, Arya Y. Metal-free adsorption and photodegradation methods for methylene blue dye removal using different reduction grades of graphene oxide. Heliyon 2024; 10:e31702. [PMID: 38867945 PMCID: PMC11167305 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e31702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/01/2023] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
The release of organic pollutants and dyes into the environment by industries has had profound and harmful effects on both humans and ecosystems. Graphene oxide (GO) and its reduced form have been investigated for their effectiveness in removing pollutant dyes. GO nano-powder was synthesized using an improved version of Hummer's method and subsequently thermally reduced at various temperatures, including 125, 150, 175, and 200 °C, under vacuum conditions. In the X-ray diffraction spectra, an intense (001) diffraction peak was initially observed at 9.136° (2θ) for pristine GO. This peak gradually shifted towards higher angles as the reduction process took place and eventually disappeared when the GO was reduced at 200 °C. The intensity ratio of the D and G bands (ID/IG ratio) for GO nano-powder in the Raman spectra decreased from 0.94 to 0.76 due to the reduction process. The FTIR spectra of GO and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) also illustrated the reduction process. The bandgap of pristine GO significantly decreased from 2.31 to 0.73 eV, as determined by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectrophotometry during the reduction process. The surface area and pore volume of both pristine GO and rGO-150 were determined using the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and BJH (Barrett-Joyner-Halenda) methods. The results indicated an increase in the BET surface area from 6.61 to 7.86 m2/g and a corresponding enhancement in pore volume from 0.118 to 0.128 cc/g after reduction. The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation behavior of pristine GO and reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) were examined using methylene blue dye. The pristine GO demonstrated impressive adsorption capability, effectively removing the dye by 85.78 % within just 15 min and achieving nearly 97 % removal after 4 h. In contrast, the highest photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue, about 47.58 %, was attained for the rGO sample reduced at 150 °C under the illumination of visible light.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA), a widely recognized endocrine disrupting compound, has been discovered in drinking water sources/finished water and domestic wastewater influent/effluent. Numerous studies have shown photocatalytic and electrocatalytic oxidation to be very effective for the removal of BPA, particularly in the addition of graphene/graphene oxide (GO)-based nanocatalysts. Nevertheless, the photocatalytic and electrocatalytic degradation of BPA in aqueous solutions has not been reviewed. Therefore, this review gives a comprehensive understanding of BPA degradation during photo-/electro-catalytic activity in the presence of graphene/GO-based nanocatalysts. Herein, this review evaluated the main photo-/electro-catalytic degradation mechanisms and pathways for BPA removal under various water quality/chemistry conditions (pH, background ions, natural organic matter, promotors, and scavengers), the physicochemical characteristics of various graphene/GO-based nanocatalysts, and various operating conditions (voltage and current). Additionally, the reusability/stability of graphene/GO-based nanocatalysts, hybrid systems combined with ozone/ultrasonic/Fenton oxidation, and prospective research areas are briefly described.

Abstract
The engineering of nanoscale materials has broadened the scope of nanotechnology in a restricted functional system. Today, significant priority is given to immediate health diagnosis and monitoring tools for point-of-care testing and patient care. Graphene, as a one-atom carbon compound, has the potential to detect cancer biomarkers and its derivatives. The atom-wide graphene layer specialises in physicochemical characteristics, such as improved electrical and thermal conductivity, optical transparency, and increased chemical and mechanical strength, thus making it the best material for cancer biomarker detection. The outstanding mechanical, electrical, electrochemical, and optical properties of two-dimensional graphene can fulfil the scientific goal of any biosensor development, which is to develop a more compact and portable point-of-care device for quick and early cancer diagnosis. The bio-functionalisation of recognised biomarkers can be improved by oxygenated graphene layers and their composites. The significance of graphene that gleans its missing data for its high expertise to be evaluated, including the variety in surface modification and analytical reports. This review provides critical insights into graphene to inspire research that would address the current and remaining hurdles in cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
A noncovalent integration of nanosheets of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and the zinc porphyrin complex Zn(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine (ZnTCPP) through coordination bonding with metal clusters of zinc acetate (Zn[OAc]2) was applied for synthesis of stable hybrid nanomaterial avoiding surface prefunctionalization. The X-ray powder diffraction in combination with the BET nitrogen adsorption method confirms formation of a ZnTCPP-based surface-attached metal-organic framework (SURMOF) with micropores of 1.63 nm on the MoS2 nanosheets. Fluorescence spectroscopy confirmed Forster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between MoS2 and ZnTCPP without contact quenching. Fluorescent trapping with terephthalic acid for hydroxyl radicals and Sensor Green for singlet oxygen was applied for studying the pathways of photodegradation of model organic pollutant 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) in the presence of SURMOF/MoS2. Visible light initiates sensitization through the excitation of ZnTCPP generating singlet oxygen, whereas UV-light promotes either aerobic FRET-mediated "Z scheme" or anaerobic "Type II heterojunction" mechanisms. Owing to its multimodal photochemistry, the SURMOF/MoS2 hybrid showed comparatively high photocatalytic activity in UV-assisted degradation of DHN (keffUV = 4.0 × 10-2 min-1) as well as the antibacterial activity confirmed by E. coli survival test under visible light. Noncovalent self-assembly utilizing coordination bonding in SURMOFs as supramolecular adhesive to avoid surface premodification provides a basis for new types of multicomponent nanosystems with switchable functionalities by combining different 2D materials and chromophores in one hybrid structure.

Abstract
The efficient biohybrid photocatalysts were prepared with different weight ratios of Fe2O3 and treated rape pollen (TRP). The synthesized samples were characterized by different analytical techniques. The results showed that carbonized rape pollen had a three-dimensional skeleton and granular Fe2O3 uniformly covered the surface of TRP. The Fe2O3/TRP samples were used for degradation of Methylene Blue (MB) and Escherichia Coli (E. coli) disinfection in water under visible light. The degradation of MB and inactivation of E. coli was achieved to 93.7% in 300 min and 99.14% in 100 min, respectively. We also explored the mechanism during the reaction process, where reactive oxygen species (ROS) including hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals play a major role throughout the reaction process. This work provides new ideas for the preparation of high-performance photocatalysts by combining semiconductors with earth-abundant biomaterials.

Abstract
Environmental contamination and scarcity of energy have been deepening over the last few decades. Heterogeneous photocatalysis plays a prominent role in environmental remediation. The failure of earlier metal oxide systems like pure TiO2 and ZnO as stable visible-light photocatalysts demanded more stable catalysts with high photodegradation efficiency. Silver-based semiconductor materials gained popularity as visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with a narrow bandgap. But their large-scale usage in natural water bodies for organic contaminant removal is minimal. The factors like self-photocorrosion and their slight solubility in water have prevented the commercial use. Various efforts have been made to improve their photocatalytic activity. This review focuses on those studies in which silver-based semiconductor materials are integrated with carbonaceous graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). The decoration of Ag-based semiconductor components on graphene oxide having high-surface area results in binary composites with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity and stability. It is found that the introduction of new efficient materials further increases the effectiveness of the system. So binary and ternary composites of GO and Ag-based materials are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Graphene oxide is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial and has gained huge popularity over the last decade. Because, the graphene oxide can be dispersed in water easily and it is one of the most researched two-dimensional materials in the current time. The extraordinary properties shown by graphene oxide (GO) are due to its unique chemical structure; includes various hydrophilic functional groups containing oxygen such as carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl and tiny sp2 carbon domains surrounded by sp3 domains. These groups are very peculiar for various applications as they allow covalent functionalisation with a plethora of compounds. Large surface area, intrinsic fluorescence, excellent surface functionality, amphiphilicity, improved conductivity, high adsorption capacity and superior biocompatibility are some of the chemical properties have drawn research from various fields. Graphene oxide has various interactions such as coordination, chelation, hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, hydrophobic effects, π-π interaction, acid base interaction etc., with various metal ions. This review is focused on the removal of metals and metal ions due to their interactions mentioned above. Further, potential of composites of graphene oxide in the removal of metal and metal ions is also discussed. Further, the current challenges in this field at industrial-scale are also discussed.

Abstract
The presence of an increasing number of organic pollutants in water now poses serious risks to both human health and ecological systems. Many of these pollutants are persistent and non-biodegradable. The contamination of fresh water by harmful substances has compelled researchers to develop innovative, efficient, and cost-effective water remediation techniques and materials. Thus, photocatalysis has long been recognized as a promising approach to tackle both environmental remediation and the energy crisis. However, semiconductor photocatalysts frequently suffer from defects such as photo-generated charge carrier recombination, poor visible light response, and slow surface reaction kinetics, which can be remedied by modifications with appropriate co-catalysts. Therefore, graphene and its derivatives have widely been used as supports for semiconductors and photocatalysts due to their distinctive optical, physicochemical, and electrical features. This critical review addresses the current progress in the design and synthesis of graphene/semiconductor photocatalysts, as well as their use in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants and hydrogen production. Several influencing parameters are addressed, including pH, photocatalyst loading, initial pollutant concentration, light wavelength, and oxidizing species, all of which could have a significant impact on the rate of organic pollutant's degradation. Furthermore, the recyclability of the catalyst and its photocatalytic activity mechanisms are thoroughly discussed. Numerous case studies are systematically presented. Moreover, future prospects and major challenges are highlighted.

Abstract
The innovation of a highly efficient and inexpensive graphene oxide-based photocatalyst is a challenging task for selective solar chemical regeneration/coenzyme such as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). Herein, we have designed lemon-juice derived highly efficient S-GQD/GO composite as a photocatalyst for regeneration of NADH under solar light. The rational design of a highly efficient photocatalytic system through the orientation of S-GQD on graphene oxide as solar light harvesting photocatalyst is explored for the first time for NADH regeneration. This highly solar light active S-GQD/GO composite photocatalyst upon integration with the NAD + is used for highly regioselective regeneration of coenzyme (76.36%). The present work provides the benchmark instances of graphene oxide-based material as a photocatalyst for selective regeneration of NADH under solar light and opens a new door for green synthesis.

Abstract
Water is the lifeblood of all living things; we often overlook the fact that the water cycle and the life cycle are inextricably linked. However, it has become contaminated as a result of industrialization, which has impacted the ecosystem by emitting numerous dyes, organic solvents, petroleum products, heavy metals, chemicals, diseases, and solid wastes. The absence of treatment in reusing wastewater is the root of the issues. Hence it is essential to treat the water to preserve the ecosystem and also for human health. In recent years, graphene-based photocatalysts are attracted much in the waste water treatment process due to their outstanding physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. Since in the graphene-based photocatalyst, graphene has exceptional electron conductivity, a broad range of light absorption, a large surface area, and a high adsorption capacity. When it is integrated into metals, metal-containing nanocomposites, semiconductor nanocomposites, polymers, MXene, and other compounds, it can greatly boost the photocatalytic activity towards the photo destruction of contaminants. Hence in this review, water pollution, methods of waste water treatment, fundamental principles of photocatalysis, the photocatalytic activity of other materials in wastewater treatment, and how the photocatalytic efficiency against the removal of organic dyes can be enhanced when coalesced with graphene are detailed.

Abstract
The discovery of the 2D nanostructure of graphene was in fact the beginning of a new generation of materials. Graphene itself, its oxidized form graphene oxide (GO), the reduced form of GO (RGO) and their numerous composites are associates of this generation. Out of this spectrum of materials, the development of GO and related hybrid materials has been reviewed in the present article. GO can be functionalized with metals (Ag and Mg) and metal oxides (CuO, MgO, Fe2O3, Ag2O, etc.) nanoparticles (NPs), organic ligands (chitosan and EDTA) and can also be dispersed in different polymeric matrices (PVA, PMMA, PPy, and PAn). All these combinations give rise to nanohybrid materials with improved functionality. An updated report on the chronological development of such nanohybrid materials of diverse nature has been delivered in the present context. Modifications in synthesis methodologies as well as performances and applications of individual materials are addressed accordingly. The functional properties of GO were synergistically modified by photoactive semiconductor NPs; as a result, the GO–MO hybrids acquired excellent photocatalytic ability and were able to degrade a large variety of organic dyes (MB, RhB, MO, MR, etc.) and pathogens. The large surface area of GO was successfully complemented by the NPs so that high and selective adsorption capacity towards metal ions and organic molecules as well as improved charge separation properties could be achieved. As a result, GO–MO hybrids have been considered effective materials in water purification, energy storage and antibacterial applications. GO–MO hybrids with magnetic particles have exhibited selective destruction of cancerous cells and controlled drug release properties, extremely important in the pharmaceutical field. Chitosan and EDTA-modified GO could form 3D network-like structures with strong efficiency in removing heavy metal ions and organic pollutants. GO as a filler enhanced the strength, flexibility and functional properties of common polymers, such as PVA and PVC, to a large extent while, GO–CP composites with polyaniline and polypyrrole are considered suitable for the fabrication of biosensors, supercapacitors, and MEMS as well as efficient photothermal therapy agents. In summary, GO-based hybrids with inorganic and organic counterparts have been designed, the unique properties of which are exploited in versatile fields of applications. GO undergoes synergistic interaction with MO nanoparticles and the hybrid can be used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes.![]()
