Abstract
The distinctive properties of 2D MXenes have garnered significant interest across various fields, including wastewater treatment and photo/electro-catalysis. The integration of inexpensive semiconductor nanostructures with 2D MXenes offers a promising strategy for applications such as wastewater treatment and photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. In this study, we employed an in situ hydrothermal method to immobilize 1D Bi2S3 nanorods and self-reduced metallic bismuth nanoparticles (Bi NPs) onto Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets, resulting in the formation of a Bi/Bi2S3/Ti3C2Tx (0D/1D/2D) composite catalyst, which demonstrates an outstanding efficacy in both the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) and photoelectrochemical hydrogen production. Remarkably, a 4-NP reduction efficiency of 100% was achieved only in 4 min with a reduction rate of 1.14 min-1, which is outstanding, and it is ∼3.8 times faster than pristine Bi2S3 nanorods (0.3 min-1). Furthermore, the photoelectrochemical assessment reveals that the Bi/Bi2S3/Ti3C2Tx catalyst displays remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) efficiency in an alkaline electrolyte. It exhibits a significantly lower overpotential and Tafel slope of 73 mV and 84 mV/dec, respectively, compared to pristine Bi2S3 nanorods, which are found to be 129 mV and 145 mV/dec under light illumination. The superior reduction performance of 4-NP and charge transfer mechanism is further investigated through density functional theory (DFT) calculations, alongside validation using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Interestingly, the DFT analysis revealed modifications in the partial density of states of Bi2S3 within the band gap region due to the successful anchoring of Ti3C2Tx nanosheets and metallic Bi NPs, facilitating efficient charge transport and separation across the local junctions. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy provided insights into band alignment and interfacial charge transfer across the Bi/Bi2S3/Ti3C2Tx junction on a microscopic scale. This work is significant for the development of MXene-based hybrid catalysts, and it provides a deeper understanding of the reduction mechanism of organic pollutants and superior charge transport in the hybrid system for photoelectrochemical hydrogen production.

Abstract
The heterogeneous catalytic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) is an effective strategy for aqueous Cr(VI) contamination abatement, which requires the development of highly efficient, low-cost, and recyclable catalysts. Herein, Ni2P/N-doped biocarbon composites (Ni2P/N-BC) were fabricated through an anoxic pyrolysis process using NaCl and KCl as activators. A precursor of yeast biomass provided the essential C, N, and P elements for Ni2P/N-BC formation. When adopted for Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of oxalic acid as a reductant, the fabricated Ni2P/N-BC performed superior catalytic activity with a 100% Cr(VI) reduction efficiency within 10 min (Ni2P/N-BC-5 = 0.2 g L-1, oxalic acid = 0.4 g L-1, Cr(VI) = 20 mg L-1). Typical affecting parameters, e.g., catalyst dosage, oxalic acid loading, reaction temperature, initial solution pH, and water matrix, were investigated. Ni2P/N-BC exhibited good applicability in a broad pH range from 3.0 to 9.0 and in actual aquatic systems. Cr(VI) reduction efficiency remained 92.7% after five recycle runs. Such promising catalytic activity may originate from the well-crystallized Ni2P, N-doped biocarbon framework and high specific surface area of the materials. Preliminary reaction mechanism analysis indicated that the favorable charge state of Ni2P, fast hydrogen transfer, affinity of oxalic acid to Cr(VI), and inherent electron transfer in the biocarbon matrix contributed to effective Cr(VI) reduction. This work not only provides a facile and low-cost strategy to construct Ni2P/N-doped biocarbon nanosheet composite using environmentally benign biomass but also brings new insights for the remediation of Cr(VI) contamination.

Abstract
Chemical-based syntheses of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) has become a major topic of research exploration in the field of nanotechnology. The utilization of folic acid (FA) as stabilizing and capping agent has been reported as a novel route for the synthesis of bimetallic nanomaterials. The present study includes novel research and brief discussion about preparation of UV light assisted ZnO-Ag nanobars (NBs) using FA as stabilizing agent and its catalytic applications on the reduction of organic pollutants (4-NP and Cr+6) using NBs as a catalyst alongwith ascorbic acid (AA). Analytical techniques including UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD, SEM, EDX and FT-IR were used for the characterizing synthesized ZnO-Ag NBs. Hexagonal structure of ZnO-Ag NBs were found having crystallite size 5.6 nm and SEM studies revealed the nanobar width 33.2 nm and length 133.5 nm. The prepared ZnO-Ag NBs were tested for their catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and Cr+6. In the presence of ZnO-Ag NBs and AA, an effective reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and Cr+6 was achieved up to 93% and 90% in 17 and 26 min with respectively. The successful and efficient catalytic activity of NBs may be attributed to the size of NBs or the concentration of FA employed for synthesis.

Abstract
The ever increasing concentration of toxic and carcinogenic hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) in various environmental mediums including water-bodies due to anthropogenic activities with rapid civilization and industrialization have become the major issue throughout the globe during last few decades. Therefore, developing new strategies for the treatment of Cr(VI) contaminated wastewaters are in great demand and have become a topical issue in academia and industry. To date, various techniques have been used for the remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated wastewaters including solvent extraction, adsorption, catalytic reduction, membrane filtration, biological treatment, coagulation, ion exchange and photo-catalytic reduction. Among these methods, the transformation of highly toxic Cr(VI) to benign Cr(III) catalyzed by metallic nanoparticles (M-NPs) with reductant has gained increasing attention in the past few years, and is considered to be an effective approach due to the superior catalytic performance of M-NPs. Thus, it is a timely topic to review this emerging technique for Cr(VI) reduction. Herein, recent development in synthesis of M-NPs based non-supported, supported, mono-, bi- and ternary M-NPs catalysts, their characterization and performance for the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) are reviewed. The role of supporting host to stabilize the M-NPs and leading to enhance the reduction of Cr(VI) are discussed. The Cr(VI) reduction mechanism, kinetics, and factors affecting the kinetics are overviewed to collect the wealthy kinetics data. Finally, the challenges and perspective in Cr(VI) reduction catalyzed by M-NPs are proposed. We believe that this review will assist the researchers who are working to develop novel M-NPs catalysts for the reduction of Cr(VI).

Abstract
Biomineralization is a ubiquitous process in organisms to produce biominerals, and a wide range of metallic nanoscale minerals can be produced as a consequence of the interactions of micro-organisms with metals and minerals. Copper-bearing nanoparticles produced by biomineralization mechanisms have a variety of applications due to their remarkable catalytic efficiency, antibacterial properties and low production cost. In this study, we demonstrate the biotechnological potential of copper carbonate nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesized using a carbonate-enriched biomass-free ureolytic fungal spent culture supernatant. The efficiency of the CuNPs in pollutant remediation was investigated using a dye (methyl red) and a toxic metal oxyanion, chromate Cr(VI). The biogenic CuNPs exhibited excellent catalytic properties in a Fenton-like reaction to degrade methyl red, and efficiently removed Cr(VI) from solution due to both adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) identified the oxidation of reducing Cu species of the CuNPs during the reaction with Cr(VI). This work shows that urease-positive fungi can play an important role not only in the biorecovery of metals through the production of insoluble nanoscale carbonates, but also provides novel and simple strategies for the preparation of sustainable nanomineral products with catalytic properties applicable to the bioremediation of organic and metallic pollutants, solely and in mixtures.

Abstract
The use of metal oxides as supports for palladium and copper (Pd–Cu) nanoalloys constitutes a new horizon for improving new active catalysts in very important reactions. From the literatures, Pd-based bimetallic nanostructures have great properties and active catalytic performance. In this work, nanostructures of titanium dioxide (TiO2) were used as supports for Pd–Cu nanoparticles catalysts. Palladium and copper were deposited on these supports using the sol-immobilisation method. The composite nanoalloys were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The catalyst was evaluated for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol. The effect of the Cu–Pd ratio using sol-immobilization methods supported on TiO2 was investigated. The results show that monometallic Cu/TiO2 was observed to have a low activity. However, as soon as the catalyst contained any palladium, the activity increased with a significant increase in the selectivity towards isomerization products. The influence of support and temperature were investigated. Furthermore, the catalyst reusability was also tested for oxidation of benzyl alcohol reactions, by repeatedly performing the same reaction using the recovered catalyst. The Pd–Cu/TiO2 catalyst displayed better reusability even after several reactions

Abstract
Through a two-way control of hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), the PdCu nanoalloys with branched structures are synthesized in one step by hydrothermal reduction and used as electrocatalysts for formic acid oxidation reaction (FAOR). In this two-way control strategy, the CTAB is used as a structure-oriented surfactant, while a certain amount of HCl is used to control the reaction kinetics for achieving gradual growth of multi-dendritic structures. The characterizations including scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) suggest that PdCu nanoalloys with unique multi-dendritic branches have favorable electronic structure and lattice strain for electrocatalyzing the oxidation of formic acid. In specific, among the electrocatalysts with different Pd/Cu ratios, the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys have the largest electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) and the best performance for the FAOR. The catalytic activity of the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys is 2.4 times that of commercial Pd black. After the chronoamperometry test, the Pd1Cu1 branched nanoalloys still maintain their original morphologies and higher current density than that of the commercial Pd black. In addition, in the CO-stripping tests, the initial oxidation potential and the oxidation peak potential of the PdCu branched nanoalloys for CO adsorption are lower than those of commercial Pd balck, evincing their better anti-poisoning performance.

Abstract
In the present study copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were synthesized using a hydrothermal method with ranolazine as a shape-directing agent. Ranolazine-functionalized CuO NPs were characterized by various analytical techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM pattern confirmed the morphology of ranolazine-functionalized CuO NPs with well-defined rice-like structures. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the interaction between CuO NPs and ranolazine. The XRD analysis indicated that the structure of ranolazine-functionalized CuO NPs was monoclinic crystalline and the size ranged between 9 and 18 nm with an average particle size of 12 nm. The smaller size range of CuO NPs gave a large surface area that enhanced the efficiency of these catalysts employed for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) to 4-aminophenol (4-AP) in the H
2
O system. In homogeneous catalysis, results showed that 50 μL of CuO NPs was required in the presence of NaBH4 for 99% reduction of 4-NP in 240 s. On the other hand, for heterogeneous catalysis, 0.5 mg of CuO NPs was used in the presence of NaBH4 for 99% catalytic reduction of 4-NP to 4-AP in 320 s. The rate of reaction for homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis was determined from the plots of In(Ct /C0) of 4-NP versus time (s), which showed good linearity with values of 1.3 × 10

and 8.8 × 10

. respectively. The high-quality catalytic efficiency, good reusability, nontoxic nature, and low cost are favorable properties of the synthesized CuO NPs for use as efficient catalysts for reduction of 4-AP to 4-NP in both homogeneous and heterogeneous media.

Abstract
Hexavalent Chromium [Cr(VI)] is a highly carcinogenic and toxic material. It is one of the major environmental contaminants in aquatic system. Its removal from aqueous medium is a subject of current research. Various technologies like adsorption, membrane filtration, solvent extraction, coagulation, biological treatment, ion exchange and chemical reduction for removal of Cr(VI) from waste water have been developed. But chemical reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) has attracted a lot of interest in the past few years because, the reduction product [Cr(III)] is one of the essential nutrients for organisms. Various nanoparticles based systems have been designed for conversion of Cr(VI) into Cr(III) which have not been critically reviewed in literature. This review present recent research progress of classification, designing and characterization of various inorganic nanoparticles reported as catalysts/reductants for rapid conversion of Cr(VI) into Cr(III) in aqueous medium. Kinetics and mechanism of nanoparticles enhanced/catalyzed reduction of Cr(VI) and factors affecting the reduction process have been discussed critically. Personal future insights have been also predicted for further development in this area.

Abstract
Palladium plays a pivotal role in most of the industrial heterogeneous catalysts, because of its unique properties such as well-defined structure, great intrinsic carrier, outstanding electronic, mechanical and thermal stability. The combination of palladium and various porous carbons (PCs) can widen the use of heterogeneous catalysts. This review highlights the advantages and limitations of carbon supported palladium-based heterogeneous catalyst in reduction of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). In addition, we address recent progress on synthesis routes for mono and bimetallic palladium nanoparticles supported by various carbon composites including graphene-based materials, carbon nanotubes, mesoporous carbons, and activated carbons. The related reaction mechanisms for the Cr(VI) reduction are also suggested. Finally, the challenge and perspective are proposed.

Abstract
In this study, Fe-doped copper sulfide nanoparticles (NPs) were investigated for the solar-assisted reduction of CrVI ions in raw water. The Fe-doped NPs were synthesized by decomposing copper(ii) N,N-diphenylmethylpiperazinecarbamodithioate via a facile single-step, one-pot solvothermal method in the presence of iron salt. The CrVI photoreduction data were fit to a pseudo-first-order kinetic model and a Langmuir model. The CuS/Cu2S NP reduction ability for CrVI increases with an increase in dopant percentage. The best catalyst (9% Fe-doped) was able to reduce CrVI (10-4 M K2Cr2O7) to CrIII in raw water using an initial amount of 10 mg in 6 min with a reduction efficiency of up to 100%. The photocatalytic activity was examined while varying five different parameters: sunlight, diffused light, change in pH, and changes in the concentration of the catalyst and the temperature. This new approach presents an active, simple, and cost-effective means for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A novel nanocatalyst, multi-wall carbon nanotube supported palladium/copper (PdCu@MWCNT) nanoparticles, was synthesized for the reduction of nitroarene compounds. Characterization of the nanocatalyst was achieved by XRD, XPS, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy analysis. In this study, the hydrogenation of nitroarenes to primary amine compounds was achieved in aqueous medium at room temperature. The aniline derivatives were synthesized with high yields at mild conditions via novel PdCu@MWCNT nanocatalyst. The conversion of nitroarenes to amine derivatives was accomplished at 99% efficiency. In addition to its high activity, the PdCu@MWCNT catalyst was determined to be stable and reusable after the 3rd consecutive use for the reaction and provided 99% conversion of various compounds in the reduction reaction.

Abstract
In this article, we report a facile approach for the synthesis of an inexpensive catalyst of bimetallic Hg/Pd alloys comprising nanoparticles with various structures using a unique ultrasonic reaction that is conducted without the use of any reducing agent. The nanoparticles of Hg/Pd alloys (HgPd and Hg2Pd5) were achieved for the first time by sonicating an aqueous solution of Palladium (II) nitrate with metallic liquid mercury, as evidenced by XRD. EDS further confirmed the presence of Pd and Hg elements in the alloy. The surface morphology and structure of the nanoparticles have been systematically investigated by HRSEM, HRTEM and SAED pattern. In order to explore the catalytic activity of the as-synthesized nanoalloys, the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol and a few other nitrophenol derivatives were investigated. Excellent catalytic activity was obtained for Hg/Pd (1:1) alloy, and the rate constant for the reduction of 4-NP with Hg/Pd at room temperature was found to be 58.4 × 10-3 s-1, which is possibly the highest ever reported. The catalyst exhibited superior stability and reusability when compared with those reported in the literature for other catalysts based on noble metals.

Abstract
In this study, bare CdS nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by solvothermal method using CdCl2(3-methylbenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone)2 as a single-source molecular precursor in the presence of ethylene glycol. Further, these CdS NPs were used for the preparation of binary (CdS-TiO2) and ternary (CdS-TiO2/Pd) heterogeneous nanocatalysts. Characterization of the as-prepared nanocatalysts has been carried out using different techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and photoluminescence studies. The peak observed at 2θ = 39.5° in XRD confirms the successful doping of noble metal (Pd) on the surface of CdS-TiO2 nanocatalyst, which is well supported by Raman analysis. From FESEM and TEM analyses, mixed morphology has been observed and elemental composition was confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy elemental mapping. Furthermore, the as-prepared bare CdS NPs, binary CdS-TiO2, and ternary CdS-TiO2/Pd heterogeneous nanocatalysts were used for the reductive transformation of various nitroaromatic compounds to their corresponding aromatic amines at room temperature. It has been observed that among all of the catalysts, ternary CdS-TiO2/Pd heterogeneous nanocatalyst has excellent catalytic property to reduce all nitroaromatic compounds in very short time span.

Abstract
IrM (M = Fe, Co, and Ni) alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized in a solution by employing butyllithium as a reduction agent and oleylamine as a stabilizing agent, and the alumina-supported IrM bimetallic nanoparticles were tested for selective hydrogenation of various substituted nitroaromatics. The relevant characterizations including X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectra, transmission electron microscopy, and diffuse reflectance fourier transform infrared with CO probes confirm that IrM NPs are uniform alloys. The obtained IrM/Al2O3 catalysts show significantly enhanced catalytic activity as well as selectivity relative to individual monometallic Ir catalysts, indicating a unique catalytic property of bimetallic alloy nanostructures. Among these bimetallic catalysts, IrNi/Al2O3 illustrate the highest activity and selectivity for hydrogenation of various substituted nitroaromatics. Calculations by density functional theory suggest that bimetallic structures of IrNi facilitate the reactant adsorption and product desorption, resulting in enhanced catalytic performance.

Abstract
Functional nanocomposites demonstrate excellent comprehensive properties and outstanding characteristics for numerous applications. Magnetic nanocomposites are an important type of composite materials, due to their applications in optics, medicine and catalysis. In this report, a new Fe3O4-loaded silver (Fe3O4–Ag) nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized via a simple solvothermal method and in situ growth of silver nanowires. The silver nanowires were prepared via the reduction of silver vanadate with the addition of uniformly dispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Structural and morphological characterizations of the obtained Fe3O4–Ag nanocomposite were carried out using many characterization methods. As a new composite catalyst, the synthesized magnetic Fe3O4–Ag nanocomposite displayed a high utilization rate of catalytically active sites in catalytic reaction medium and showed good separation and recovery using an external magnetic field. The facile preparation and good catalytic performance of this Fe3O4–Ag nanocomposite material demonstrate its potential applications in catalytic treatment and composite materials. A new Fe3O4–Ag nanocomposite was prepared via solvothermal method, demonstrating potential application in catalytic degradation of wastewater treatment and composite materials.![]()

Abstract
This work describes the preparation of bimetallic Cu-Pd nanoparticles (NPs) on supports like reduced graphene oxide (rGO), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) and MoS2 sheets with a size of <10 nm. rGO is found to be the best support for synthesizing Cu-Pd NPs with controlled shape, size and oxidation state. The Cu-Pd/rGO nanocomposite also demonstrated the best peroxidase and oxidase mimicking activity compared to Cu-Pd/g-C3N4 and Cu-Pd/MoS2 nanocomposites. The peroxidase mimicking activity of Cu-Pd/rGO was investigated in more detail, and a glucose oxidase (GOx) based glucose sensor was constructed that is based on the enzymatic formation of H2O2 and the Cu-Pd NPs-assisted oxidation of tetramethylbenzidine by H2O2 to give a blue-green coloration with absorption maxima at 652 nm. The assay has a 0.29 μM detection limit and a detection range that extends from 0.2 to 50 μM. The method was applied to the determination of glucose in diluted serum samples, and results compared well to those acquired with a clinical analyzer. The method also was applied in a colorimetric paper-based test stripe that can detect glucose within 10 min. Graphical abstract Schematic representation of a sensitive colorimetric glucose assay based on bimetallic Cu-Pd nanoparticles supported on 2D nanosheets, and construction of a paper based device for rapid glucose detection.

Abstract
A series of PdxCu100-x (x = 20, 40, 60, 80) particles with the sizes of 7-9 nm were fabricated by a two-step polyol reduction process, which differentiated the nucleation and growth steps of the nanoparticles. The primary reduction of Pd2+ by ethylene glycol at 393 K formed appreciable amounts of Pd0 nuclei, while the subsequent reduction at 473 K fully reduced the Pd2+ and Cu2+ species with the aid of the initially formed Pd nuclei seeds. Meanwhile, the releasing oleylamine, previously coordinated with metal cations, acted as the capping agent to segregate the nanoparticles. Both parameters simultaneously controlled the assembly kinetics of the bimetallic nanoparticles and resulted in uniform sizes and designed chemical compositions. Among them, the Pd80Cu20 nanoparticles showed quite promising activity and selectivity for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene under mild conditions.

Abstract
Reducing Cr(vi) to Cr(iii) with formic acid is desirable for environmental protection, but the sluggish kinetics limits its practical application, which currently motivates the intensive study of efficient catalysts for this redox reaction. Here bimetallic PdCu nanoalloy (∼5 nm in size) supported by N-doped graphene was synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal process. The catalytic activity of PdCu nanoalloy highly depends on the Pd/Cu atomic ratio and N-doped graphene support. The obtained Pd6Cu4/NG shows superior catalysis towards the Cr(vi) reduction by formic acid with a high kinetic constant (kn = 23.2 min-1 mg-1) and a low activation energy (Ea = 34.9 kJ mol-1). Active H atoms were found to be the exact reductant for the Cr(vi) reduction, quite different from the reported H2-reduction route. The enhanced catalysis originates from the electronic and geometric modification of active Pd after formation of PdCu alloy. Electron transfer from Cu to Pd enhances the electron density of Pd atoms, which favors the adsorption of the bridging formate intermediate and subsequent generation of active H atoms over PdCu/NG. The catalyst can be recycled five times without obvious loss of activity. Our work provides an example to explore the alloying effect on the catalytic behavior of PdCu alloy, which may shed light on developing other advanced nanoalloys for Cr(vi) reduction.
