Abstract
The enhanced photocatalytic properties of Z-Scheme Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction materials were successfully prepared by the ultrasonic-assisted coprecipitation method. The Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY heterojunction exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation, and the degradation rate of methyl orange (MO) was about 90.6% in 180 min. This impressive efficiency is mainly due to the Z-Scheme charge transfer mechanism in Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY, resulting in the efficient separation of charge carriers and an increase in the REDOX potential of photogenerated electrons and holes. C3N4 was modified with a π-deficient conjugated pyridine ring, which caused the light absorption redshift, promoted the formation of oxidizing •O2-, and improved the photocatalytic activity. At the same time, a well-aligned heterojunction is formed at the interface between C3N4-DPY and BiOCl, facilitating the seamless transfer of light-induced electrons from the LUMO of C3N4-DPY to the CB of BiOCl. In addition, the addition of Bi introduces a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of the band states, which further promotes charge transfer and separation. It is worth noting that the introduction of metallic bismuth (Bi) brings about a unique band gap reduction effect, resulting in a change in the density of states within the band, which ultimately promotes charge transfer and separation. The Z-scheme charge migration inside Bi@BiOCl/C3N4-DPY further promotes the efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, greatly improving the overall efficiency of the material. The Z-structured photocatalyst developed in this study has great application potential in various fields of photocatalysis.

Intelligent prediction models based on machine learning for CO 2 capture performance by graphene oxide-based adsorbents. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21507. [PMID: 36513731 PMCID: PMC9747901 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-26138-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Designing a model to connect CO2 adsorption data with various adsorbents based on graphene oxide (GO) which is produced from various forms of solid biomass, can be a promising method to develop novel and efficient adsorbents for CO2 adsorption application. In this work, the information of several GO-based solid sorbents were extracted from 17 articles aimed to develop a machine learning based model for CO2 adsorption capacity prediction. The extracted data including specific surface area, pore volume, temperature, and pressure were considered as input parameter, and CO2 uptake capacity was defined as model response, alsoseven different models, including support vector machine, gradient boosting, random forest, artificial neural network (ANN) based on multilayer perceptron (MLP) and radial basis function (RBF), Extra trees regressor and extreme gradient boosting, were employed to estimate the CO2 adsorption capacity. The best performance was obtained for ANN based on MLP method (R2 > 0.99) with hyperparameters of the following: hidden layer size = [45 35 45 45], optimizer = Adam, the learning rate = 0.003, β1 = 0.9, β2 = 0.999, epochs = 1971, and batch size = 32. To investigate CO2 uptake dependency on mentioned effective parameters, three dimensional diagrams were reported based on MLP network, also the MLP network characteristics including weight and bias matrices were reported for further application of CO2 adsorption process design. The accurately predicted capability of the generated models may considerably minimize experimental efforts, such as estimating CO2 removal efficiency as the target based on adsorbent properties to pick more efficient adsorbents without increasing processing time. Current work employed statistical analysis and machine learning to support the logical design of porous GO for CO2 separation, aiding in screening adsorbents for cleaner manufacturing.

Abstract
Biohydrogen production using renewable sources has been regarded as one of the most sustainable ways to develop low-cost and green production technology. In order to achieve this objective, herein biohydrogen production has been conducted using the combination of untreated secondary sewage sludge (Sss), algal biomass hydrolyzate (Abh), graphene oxide (GO) and bacterial consortia that forms a granular system. Thus, naturally formed granular system produced cumulative H2 of 1520mL/L in 168h with the maximum production rate of 13.4mL/L/h in 96h at initial pH 7.0, and optimum temperature of 37oC. It is noticed that the combination of Abh, Sss and GO governed medium showed 42.05% higher cumulative H2 production along with 22.71% higher production rate as compared to Abh and Sss based H2 production medium. The strategy presented herein may find potential applications for the low-cost biohydrogen production using waste biomasses including Sss and Abh.

Abstract
Among the available carbon nanomaterials, graphene oxide (GO) has been widely studied because of the possibility of anchoring different chemical species for a large number of applications, including those requiring water-compatible systems. This Review summarizes the state-of-the-art of synthetic routes used to functionalize GO, such as those involving multiple covalent and non-covalent bonds to organic molecules, functionalization with nanoparticles and doping. As a recent development in this field, special focus is given to the formation of nanocomposites comprising GO and porphyrins, and their characterization through spectroscopic techniques (such as UV-Vis, fluorescence, Raman spectroscopy), among others. The potential of such hybrid systems in targeted biological applications is also discussed, namely for cancer therapies relying on photodynamic and photothermal therapies and for the inhibition of telomerase enzyme. Lastly, some promising alternative materials to GO are presented to overcome current challenges of GO-based research and to inspire future research directions in this field.

Abstract
Rapid growth in the world's economy depends on a significant increase in energy consumption. As is known, most of the present energy supply comes from coal, oil, and natural gas. The overreliance on fossil energy brings serious environmental problems in addition to the scarcity of energy. One of the most concerning environmental problems is the large contribution to global warming because of the massive discharge of CO2 in the burning of fossil fuels. Therefore, many efforts have been made to resolve such issues. Among them, the preparation of valuable fuels or chemicals from greenhouse gas (CO2) has attracted great attention because it has made a promising step toward simultaneously resolving the environment and energy problems. This article reviews the current progress in CO2 conversion via different strategies, including thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, and photoelectrocatalysis. Inspired by natural photosynthesis, light-capturing agents including macrocycles with conjugated structures similar to chlorophyll have attracted increasing attention. Using such macrocycles as photosensitizers, photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, or coupling with enzymatic reactions were conducted to fulfill the conversion of CO2 with high efficiency and specificity. Recent progress in enzyme coupled to photocatalysis and enzyme coupled to photoelectrocatalysis were specially reviewed in this review. Additionally, the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of different conversion methods were also presented. We wish to provide certain constructive ideas for new investigators and deep insights into the research of CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Selective photocatalytic reduction of CO2 has been regarded as one of the most amazing ways for re-using CO2. However, its application is still limited by the low CO2 conversion efficiency. This work developed a novel Pt/In2O3/g-C3N4 multifunctional catalyst, which exhibited high activity and selectivity to HCOOH during photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light irradiation owing to the synergistic effect between photocatalyst, thermocatalyst, and heterojunctions. Both In2O3 and g-C3N4 acted as visible photocatalysts, in which porous g-C3N4 facilitated H2 production from water splitting while the In2O3 nanosheets embedded in g-C3N4 pores favored CO2 fixation and H adsorption onto the Lewis acid sites. Besides, the In2O3/g-C3N4 heterojunctions could efficiently inhibit the photoelectron–hole recombination, leading to enhanced quantum efficiency. The Pt could act as a co-catalyst in H2 production from photocatalytic water splitting and also accelerated electron transfer to inhibit electron–hole recombination and generated a plasma effect. More importantly, the Pt could activate H atoms and CO2 molecules toward the formation of HCOOH. At normal pressure and room temperature, the TON of HCOOH in CO2 conversion was 63.1 μmol g−1 h−1 and could reach up to 736.3 μmol g−1 h−1 at 40 atm. A multifunctional Pt/In2O3/g-C3N4 catalyst exhibited high activity and selectivity to HCOOH during CO2 reduction owing to the synergy between visible-light harvesting, CO2 activation, HER, and photoelectron–hole separation via heterojunctions.![]()

Chitosan grafted graphene oxide aerogel: Synthesis, characterization and carbon dioxide capture study. Int J Biol Macromol 2018; 125:300-306.

Abstract
We have demonstrated a superficial, environmentally friendly and sustainable development of chitosan (CS) grafted graphene oxide aerogels for adsorption of CO2 gas. The CS is grafted into the carbonaceous materials like graphene oxide, multi-walled carbon nanotubes etc. to provide the large surface area, high porosity and a large number of amine group which facilitates the adsorption of CO2 gas. CS and carbonaceous materials undergo crosslinking by using cross-linker reagents, and freeze-drying technique to yield CS based aerogels with ordered porous structures. Crosslinking between CS and carbonaceous materials was confirmed by FT-IR. Physical properties of the CS-based aerogels were studied using SEM, TGA, XRD, BET isotherm analysis. The adsorption capacity of CO2 gas by CS grafted graphene oxide aerogels is around 0.257 mmol g-1 at 1 bar, that is significantly higher in comparison to the adsorption capacity of pure CS. We believe that this study helps to reduce the cost of adsorbents due to the large availability of marine waste (CS) and thus aims to reduce the anthropogenic CO2 gas at low cost, favourable temperature and pressure as compared to previously reported.
