Abstract
Materials Institute Lavoisier (MIL) metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are known for their potential to adsorb gaseous organic pollutants. This study explores the synergistic effects between the selection of central metals (e.g., titanium, iron, and aluminum) and the incorporation of -NH2 groups in terms of adsorption efficiency against gaseous formaldehyde (FA). A group of the pristine MIL MOFs is synthesized using three different metals (i.e., titanium, iron, and aluminum) and terephthalic acid along with their NH2 derivatives using 2-aminoterephthalic acid. Among the pristine forms, MIL-125(Ti) achieves the highest FA adsorption capacity (Q) of 26.96 mg g-1 and a partition coefficient (PC) of 0.0898 mol kg-1 Pa-1. Further, amination significantly improves the FA adsorption potential of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) with a Q value of 91.22 mg g-1 (PC = 0.3038 mol kg-1 Pa-1). In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy reveals that the FA adsorption of plain MILs should be governed primarily by physisorption. In contrast, FA adsorption of NH2-MILs appears to be regulated by both physisorption and chemisorption, while the latter being affected mainly through FA-NH2 interactions (Schiff base reactions). These findings provide valuable insights into the utility of aminated MIL sorbents, possibly toward the efficient management of indoor air quality.

The practical utility of ternary nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide-supported platinum catalysts for room-temperature oxidative removal of formaldehyde from the air. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:1029-1042. [PMID: 38579386 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2024] [Revised: 03/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/07/2024]
Abstract
Formaldehyde (FA), a carcinogenic oxygenated volatile organic compound, is present ubiquitously in indoor air. As such, it is generally regarded as a critical target for air quality management. The oxidative removal of FA under dark and room-temperature (RT) conditions is of practical significance. A series of ternary nickel-cobalt-manganese oxide-supported platinum catalysts (Pt/NiCoMnO4) have been synthesized for FA oxidative removal at RT in the dark. Their RT conversion values for 50 ppm FA (XFA) at 5,964 h-1 gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) decrease in the following order: 1 wt% Pt/NiCoMnO4 (100 %) > 0.5 wt% Pt/NiCoMnO4 (25 %) > 0.05 wt% Pt/NiCoMnO4 (14 %) > NiCoMnO4 (6 %). The catalytic performance of 1 wt% Pt/NiCoMnO4 has been examined further under the control of various process variables (e.g., catalyst mass, flow rate, relative humidity, FA concentration, time on stream, and molecular oxygen content). The catalytic oxidation of FA at low temperatures (e.g., RT and 60 °C) is accounted for by Langmuir-Hinshelwood mechanism (single-site competitive-adsorption), while Mars van Krevelen kinetics is prevalent at higher temperatures. In situ diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier-transform spectroscopy reveals that FA oxidation proceeds through a series of reaction intermediates such as DOM, HCOO-, and CO32-. Based on the density functional theory simulations, the unique electronic structures of the nearest surface atoms (platinum and nickel) are suggested to be responsible for the superior catalytic activity of Pt/NiCoMnO4.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful pollutants emitted from industrial processes. They pose a risk to human health and ecosystems, even at low concentrations. Controlling VOCs is crucial for good air quality. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the various methods used for controlling VOC abatement. The advancement of mono-functional treatment techniques, including recovery such as absorption, adsorption, condensation, and membrane separation, and destruction-based methods such as natural degradation methods, advanced oxidation processes, and reduction methods were discussed. Among these methods, advanced oxidation processes are considered the most effective for removing toxic VOCs, despite some drawbacks such as costly chemicals, rigorous reaction conditions, and the formation of secondary chemicals. Standalone technologies are generally not sufficient and do not perform satisfactorily for the removal of hazardous air pollutants due to the generation of innocuous end products. However, every integration technique complements superiority and overcomes the challenges of standalone technologies. For instance, by using catalytic oxidation, catalytic ozonation, non-thermal plasma, and photocatalysis pretreatments, the amount of bioaerosols released from the bioreactor can be significantly reduced, leading to effective conversion rates for non-polar compounds, and opening new perspectives towards promising techniques with countless benefits. Interestingly, the three-stage processes have shown efficient decomposition performance for polar VOCs, excellent recoverability for nonpolar VOCs, and promising potential applications in atmospheric purification. Furthermore, the review also reports on the evolution of mathematical and artificial neural network modeling for VOC removal performance. The article critically analyzes the synergistic effects and advantages of integration. The authors hope that this article will be helpful in deciding on the appropriate strategy for controlling interested VOCs.

Mild selective photochemical oxidation of an organic sulfide using OxP-polyimide porous polymers as singlet oxygen generators. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2024; 25:2322458. [PMID: 38440402 PMCID: PMC10911228 DOI: 10.1080/14686996.2024.2322458] [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: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
A series of porous organic polymers based on a singlet oxygen generating oxoporphyinogen ('OxP') has been successfully prepared from a pseudotetrahedral OxP-tetraamine precursor (OxP(4-NH2Bn)4) by its reaction with tetracarboxylic acid dianhydrides under suitable conditions. Of the compounds studied, those containing naphthalene (OxP-N) and perylene (OxP-P) spacers, respectively, have large surface areas (~530 m2 g-1). On the other hand, the derivative with a simple benzene spacer (OxP-B) exhibits the best 1O2 generating capability. Although the starting OxP-tetraamine precursor is a poor 1O2 generator, its incorporation into OxP POPs leads to a significant enhancement of 1O2 productivity, which is largely due to the transformation of NH2 groups to electron-withdrawing diimides. Overall 1O2 production efficacy of OxP-POPs under irradiation by visible light is significantly improved over the common reference material PCN-222. All the materials OxP-B, OxP-N and OxP-P promote oxidation of thioanisole involving conversion of ambient triplet state oxygen to singlet oxygen under visible light irradiation and its reaction with the sulfide. Although the reaction rate of the oxidation promoted by OxP POPs is generally lower than for conventional materials (such as PCN-222) or previously studied OxP derivatives, undesired overoxidation of the substrate to methyl phenyl sulfone is suppressed. For organic sulfides, selectivity of oxidation is especially important for detoxification of mustard gas (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide) or similarly toxic compounds since controlled oxidation leads to the low toxicity bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfoxide while overoxidation leads to intoxification (since bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfone presents greater toxicity to humans than the sulfide substrate). Therefore, OxP POPs capable of promoting selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides have excellent potential to be used as mild and selective detoxification agents.

Enhanced and Sustainable Removal of Indoor Formaldehyde by Naturally Porous Bamboo Activated Carbon Supported with MnO x: Synergistic Effect of Adsorption and Oxidation. Molecules 2024; 29:663. [PMID: 38338407 PMCID: PMC10856013 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29030663] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2024] [Revised: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Novel bamboo activated carbon (BAC) catalysts decorated with manganese oxides (MnOx) were prepared with varying MnOx contents through a facile one-step redox reaction. Due to the physical anchoring effect of the natural macropore structure for catalyst active components, homogeneous MnOx nanoparticles (NPs), and high specific surface area over catalyst surface, the BAC@MnOx-N (N = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) catalyst shows encouraging adsorption and catalytic oxidation for indoor formaldehyde (HCHO) removal at room temperature. Dynamic adsorption and catalytic activity experiments were conducted. The higher Smicro (733 m2/g) and Vmicro/Vt (82.6%) of the BAC@MnOx-4 catalyst could facilitate its excellent saturated and breakthrough adsorption capacity (5.24 ± 0.42 mg/g, 2.43 ± 0.22 mg/g). The best performer against 2 ppm HCHO is BAC@MnOx-4 catalyst, exhibiting a maximum HCHO removal efficiency of 97% for 17 h without any deactivation as RH = 0, which is higher than those of other MnOx-based catalysts. The average oxidation state and in situ DRIFTS analysis reveal that abundant oxygen vacancies on the BAC@MnOx-4 catalyst could be identified as surface-active sites of decomposing HCHO into the intermediate species (dioxymethylene and formate). This study provides a potential approach to deposit MnOx nanoparticles onto the BAC surface, and this hybrid BAC@MnOx material is promising for indoor HCHO removal at room temperature.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:594-605. [PMID: 37738932 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.09.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
The surfaces of phosphoric acid activated carbon, referred to as CG, and steam activated one, referred to as SX, were modified through an introduction of S- and N- groups originated from thiourea. The prepared samples were used for formaldehyde removal at room temperature. Heating at 450, 600 and 950 °C altered both surface chemistry and porosity. The extents of these modifications depended on the type of carbon. Using thiourea as the modifier resulted in an incorporation of significant amounts of nitrogen and sulfur to the carbon matrices. Their speciation depended on the heat treatment conditions. The activity of samples heated at 450 °C was governed by amine groups of thiourea retained on the surface. A further heat treatment converted gradually amine nitrogen into pyridines/pyrroles and quaternary nitrogen, shifting the adsorption mechanism to rather specific interactions than a direct chemical reactivity. Carbons with few times less nitrogen than in their amine-modified counterparts, but in quaternary form and with the small amount of sulfur in thiophenic configurations, regardless the origin, worked as very efficient adsorbents of HCHO. Due to the modification of the carbon matrix electronic structure, resulting in a positive charge on carbon atoms in the vicinity of the heteroatoms incorporated to carbon rings, the density of specific adsorption centers on the surface in larger pores was significantly higher than that in ultramicropores. This markedly contributed to efficient utilization of pores/surface, where heteroatom can exist and where otherwise the dispersive adsorptions forces would be weak, for HCHO removal at ambient conditions.

Abstract
To develop a green and facile adsorbent for removing indoor polluted formaldehyde (HCHO) gas, the biomass porous nanofibrous membranes (BPNMs) derived from microcrystalline cellulose/chitosan were fabricated by electrospinning. The enhanced chemical adsorption sites with diverse oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N)-containing functional groups were introduced on the surface of BPNMs by non-thermal plasma modification under carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen (N2) atmospheres. The average nanofiber diameters of nanofibrous membranes and their nanomechanical elastic modulus and hardness values decreased from 341 nm to 175-317 nm and from 2.00 GPa and 0.25 GPa to 1.70 GPa and 0.21 GPa, respectively, after plasma activation. The plasma-activated nanofibers showed superior hydrophilicity (WCA = 0°) and higher crystallinity than that of the control. The optimal HCHO adsorption capacity (134.16 mg g-1) of BPNMs was achieved under a N2 atmosphere at a plasma power of 30 W and for 3 min, which was 62.42 % higher compared with the control. Pyrrolic N, pyridinic N, CO and O-C=O were the most significant O and N-containing functional groups for the improved chemical adsorption of the BPNMs. The adsorption mechanism involved a synergistic combination of physical and chemical adsorption. This study provides a novel strategy that combines clean plasma activation with electrospinning to efficiently remove gaseous HCHO.

Abstract
To adsorb and remove formaldehyde, which is a harmful volatile organic chemical (VOC) detected indoors, an alkylamine was introduced into the substrate as a formaldehyde adsorbent. In this study, Tetraethylenepentaamine (TEPA) was introduced into the mesoporous silica using the amine impregnation method. Since the impregnated alkylamine can block the pores of the silica substrate, the pore size and pore volume are very important factors for its use as a substrate for an adsorbent. Focusing on the substrate's pore properties, Santa Barbara Amorphous-15 (SBA-15) was chosen as a conventional one-dimensional pore-structured mesoporous silica, and dendritic mesoporous silica (DMS) as a three-dimensional pore-structured mesoporous silica. To 1 g each of silica substrate DMS and SBA-15, 0, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 g of TEPA were introduced. A fixed concentration and amount of formaldehyde gas was flowed through the adsorbent and then the adsorbent was changed to the 2,4-Dinitrophenylhydrazine (2,4-DNPH) cartridge to adsorb the remaining formaldehyde. According to the methods recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health (NIOSH), the formaldehyde captured by 2,4-DNPH was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A comparison of DMS and SBA-15 in the amine impregnation method shows that not only surface area, but also large pore size and high pore volume, contribute to the formaldehyde adsorption ability.

Abstract
The cyclohexane is the common toxic volatiles emitted from the various industry in worldwide leading to environmental degradation and human illnesses. Hence, there is a requirement for an efficient and stable adsorbent for adsorbing these toxic molecules to safeguard human health and the air atmosphere. Hollow carbon spheres (HCS) are a new type of carbon nanomaterial with large specific surface area, low density, and good chemical and thermal stability. In this study, DFT simulations and static-dynamic adsorption studies of cyclohexane were carried out using HCS as the adsorbent material. Among them, static adsorption focuses on adsorption/desorption isotherm, adsorption isotherm model fitting and isosteric heat of adsorption. Dynamic adsorption was mainly studied the effect of initial concentrations, gas flow rate, and ambient temperature on adsorption performance. The results showed that HCS exhibited very good performance in cyclohexane adsorption.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 231:116149. [PMID: 37209982 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116149] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2023] [Indexed: 05/22/2023]
Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based materials are attracting attention for their unique properties, such as low-cost, chemical stability, facile synthesis, adjustable electronic structure, and optical properties. These facilitate the use of g-C3N4 to design better photocatalytic and sensing materials. Environmental pollution by hazardous gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be monitored and controlled using eco-friendly g-C3N4- photocatalysts. Firstly, this review introduces the structure, optical and electronic properties of C3N4 and C3N4 assisted materials, followed by various synthesis strategies. In continuation, binary and ternary nanocomposites of C3N4 with metal oxides, sulfides, noble metals, and graphene are elaborated. g-C3N4/metal oxide composites exhibited better charge separation that leads to enhancement in photocatalytic properties. g-C3N4/noble metal composites possess higher photocatalytic activities due to the surface plasmon effects of metals. Ternary composites by the presence of dual heterojunctions improve properties of g-C3N4 for enhanced photocatalytic application. In the later part, we have summarised the application of g-C3N4 and its assisted materials for sensing toxic gases and VOCs and decontaminating NOx and VOCs by photocatalysis. Composites of g-C3N4 with metal and metal oxide give comparatively better results. This review is expected to bring a new sketch for developing g-C3N4-based photocatalysts and sensors with practical applications.

[PMID: 36958182 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.131203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
The potential utility of titanium oxynitride doped with 5% zinc (ZnTON) has been investigated as an adsorbent for the treatment of gaseous formaldehyde (FA) using a fixed-bed adsorption system. The adsorption capacity of ZnTON, when estimated at 10%/100% breakthrough (BT) levels from a dry feed gas consisting of 10 Pa FA, was far superior to two reference materials (i.e., commercial P25-TiO2 and activated carbon (AC)) by factors of 1.7/1.3 and 10/2.5, respectively. The adsorption capacity of ZnTON increased with the increase in the initial feeding concentration of FA (5-12.5 Pa), while decreasing with the rising temperature (25-100 oC). An increase in moisture level (0-100% relative humidity) also led to 5.4- and 2.5-fold reductions in adsorption capacity of ZnTON at 10% and 100% BT levels, respectively. Thermodynamically, the adsorption of FA onto ZnTON is an exothermic (ΔHo = - 9.69 kJ.mol-1) to be feasible in nature based on physisorption mechanism. Further, the adsorption of FA onto ZnTON was governed by surface interactions and monolayer surface coverage (Van der Waal's force/electrostatic attraction), as it obeyed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic models. Regeneration tests indicated a positive effect of moisture on FA desorption and durability of ZnTON (i.e., over three adsorption-desorption cycles). This study offers valuable mechanistic insights into the synthesis of an advanced adsorbent for the efficient removal of hazardous volatile organic compounds under near-ambient conditions.

Abstract
Simultaneously achieving exceptional mechanical strength and resilience of graphene aerogel (GA) remains a challenge, while GA is an ideal candidate for formaldehyde removal. Herein, flexible polyethyleneimine (PEI) is grafted chemically onto carbon nanotube (CNT) surface, and CNT-PEI@reduced GA (rGA) is fabricated via hydrothermal self-assembly, pre-frozen, and hydrazine reduction process. Introducing CNT-PEI contributes to well-interconnected/robust 3D network construction by connecting reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets through enhancing cross-linking, while entangled CNT-PEI is intercalated into rGO layers to avoid serious restacking of sheets, producing larger surface area and more formaldehyde adsorption sites. Ultralight CNT-PEI@rGA exhibits extreme high strength (276.37 kPa), reversible compressibility at 90% strain, and structural stability, while FA adsorption capacity reached 568.41 mg g-1 , ≈3.28 times of rGA, derivable from synergistic chemical-physical adsorption effect. Furthermore, CNT-PEI@rGA is ground into powder for first preparing polyoxymethylene (POM)/CNT-PEI@rGA composite, while formaldehyde emission amount is 69.63%/73.96% lower than that of POM at 60/230 °C. Moreover, CNT-PEI@rGA presents outstanding piezoresistive-sensing and thermal insulation properties, exhibiting high strain sensitivity, wide strain detection range, and long-term durability.

Abstract
The influence of different pore size and oxygen groups for porous carbons on acetone adsorption at different pressure was studied by using experimental data and theoretical calculation, and the results were applied to prepare carbon-based adsorbents with superior adsorption capacity. First, we successfully prepared five types of porous carbons with different gradient pore structure but similar oxygen contents (4.9 ± 0.25 at.%). We found that the acetone uptake at different pressure depends on the different pore sizes. Besides, we demonstrate how to accurately decompose the acetone adsorption isotherm into multiple sub-isotherms based on different pore sizes. Based on the isotherm decomposition method, the acetone adsorption at 18 kPa is mainly in the form of pore-filling adsorption in the pore size range of 0.6-2.0 nm. When the pore size is greater than 2 nm, the acetone uptake mainly depends on the surface area. Second, porous carbons with different oxygen content, similar surface area and pore structure were prepared to study the influence of oxygen groups on acetone adsorption. The results show that the acetone adsorption capacity is determined by the pore structure at relatively high pressure, and the oxygen groups only slightly increase the adsorption capacity. However, the oxygen groups can provide more active sites, thereby enhancing acetone adsorption at low pressure.

Abstract
The position of Ce doping has a significant effect on ambient HCHO storage and catalytic oxidation on layered MnO2. By associating structure and performance, it is unveiled that doping Ce into the in-layered lattice of MnO2 is favorable to the generation of high-valence Mn cations, enhancing the oxidizing ability and capacity, but an opposite influence is displayed by interlayered Ce doping. From the aspect of energy minimization calculated by DFT, in-layered Ce doping is also recommended due to the decreased energies for molecule adsorption and oxygen vacancy formation. As a result, in-layered Ce-doped MnO2 displays exceptional activity in catalyzing the deep oxidation of HCHO and a fourfold higher capacity of ambient HCHO storage than pristine MnO2. The optimal oxide is combined with electromagnetic induction heating to complete the "storage-oxidation" cycle as a promising approach absolutely depending on non-noble oxides and household appliances to realize the long-acting removal of indoor HCHO at room temperature.

Abstract
Designing efficient and stable non-precious metal catalysts remains a significant challenge for formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation, which is an expected way to replace the employment of noble-metal catalysts. Herein, a series of atomically dispersed Co catalysts are optimized by evaporating nitrogen atoms and exploring their HCHO oxidation catalytic performance. The results show that the prepared temperature can effectively control the coordination regulation of the Co atomic site, which in turn affects the catalytic oxidation activity. Our best catalyst, the Co-N/C prepared at 1000 °C, exhibits superior activity with 92.8% of conversion at room temperature at a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 72,000 mL·g-1·h-1. Extensive characterizations combined with theoretical calculations reveal that the high catalytic activity is attributed to the low-coordinated center, which can be tailored by pyrolysis temperature. This work provides an innovative strategy for catalyst design in the catalytic oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Pt catalysts with nitrogen-doped graphene oxide (GO) as support and CeO2 as promoter were prepared by impregnation method, and their catalytic oxidation of formaldehyde (HCHO) at room temperature was tested. The Pt-CeO2/N-rGO (reduced GO) with a mass fraction of 0.7% Pt and 0.8% CeO2 exhibited an excellent catalytic performance with the 100% conversion of HCHO at room temperature. Physicochemical characterization demonstrated that nitrogen-doping greatly increased the defect degree and the specific surface area of GO, enhanced the dispersion of Pt and promoted more zero-valent Pt. The synergistic effect between CeO2 and Pt was also beneficial to the dispersion of Pt. Nitrogen-doping promoted the production of more Ce3+ ions, generating more oxygen vacancies, which was conducive to O2 adsorption. As a result, the catalyst exhibited enhanced redox properties, leading to the best catalytic activity. Finally, an attempt to propose the reaction mechanism of HCHO oxidation has been made.

Abstract
The emission of polar volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a major worldwide concern of air quality and equally impacts the preservation of cultural heritage (CH). The challenge is to design highly efficient adsorbents able to selectively capture traces of VOCs such as acetic acid (AA) in the presence of relative humidity (RH) normally found at storage in museums (40-80%). Although the selective capture of VOCs over water is still challenging, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess highly tunable features (Lewis, Bronsted, or redox metal sites, functional groups, hydrophobicity, etc.) suitable to selectively capture a large variety of VOCs. In this context, we have explored the adsorption efficiency of a series of MOFs thin films (ZIF-8(Zn), MIL-101(Cr), and UiO-66(Zr)-2CF3) for the selective capture of AA based on a UV/vis and FT-IR spectroscopic ellipsometry in operando study (2-6% of relative pressure of AA under 40% of RH), namely conditions close to the realistic environmental storage conditions of cultural artifacts. For that purpose, optical quality thin films of MOFs were prepared by dip-coating, and their AA adsorption capacity and selectivity were evaluated under humid conditions by measuring the variation of the refractive index as a function of the vapor pressures while the chemical nature of the coadsorbed analytes (water and AA) was identified by FT-IR ellipsometry. While thin films of ZIF-8(Zn) strongly degraded upon exposure to AA/water vapors, films of MIL-101(Cr) and UiO-66(Zr)-2CF3 present a high chemical stability under those conditions. It was shown that MIL-101(Cr) presents a high AA adsorption capacity due to its high pore volume but exhibits a poor AA adsorption selectivity under humid conditions. In contrast, UiO-66(Zr)-2CF3 was shown to overpass MIL-101(Cr) in terms of AA/H2O adsorption selectivity and AA adsorption/desorption cycling stability because of its high hydrophobic character, suitable pore size for adequate confinement, and specific interactions.

Abstract
A distinct platinum oxide nanocluster (PtOx ) was developed, consisting of only Pt-O bond by a defect-engineered Al metal-organic framework (MOF) (BIT-72) with superior formaldehyde (HCHO) degradation activity and stability. With only 0.015 wt % Pt loading, PtOx @BIT-72-DE could degrade HCHO with 100 % conversion continuously for at least 200 h under HCHO concentration of 25 ppm and gas hourly space velocity of 60000 mL g-1 h-1 at room temperature. Furthermore, its specific rate (446 mmolHCHO gPt -1 h-1 ) was higher than for traditional Pt-based catalysts and single-atom Pt catalysts. Moreover, the cost of PtOx @BIT-72-DE was lowered to 0.0769 $ g-1 , which could significantly facilitate its commercial application. This study demonstrates the promising potential of MOFs in the design of HCHO degradation catalysts.

Shen Y, Xu Y, Zhan Y. Assembled Organoruthenium(II) for Formaldehyde Decomposition and Hydrogen Production. Chemphyschem 2022; 24:e202200695.

Abstract
Formaldehyde decomposition is not only an attractive method for hydrogen production, but also a potential approach for gaseous formaldehyde removal. In this research, we prepare some assembled organoruthenium through coordination reaction between Ru(p-Cymene)Cl2 and bridge-linking ligands. It is a creative approach for Ru(p-Cymene)Cl2 conversion into heterogeneous particles. The rigidity of bridge-linking ligand enables assembled organoruthenium to have highly ordered crystalline structure, even show clear crystal lattice with spacing of 0.19 nm. XPS shows the N-Ru bond are formed between bridge-linking ligand and Ru(p-Cymene)Cl2 . The assembled organoruthenium has high abundant active sites for formaldehyde decomposition at low temperature. The reaction rate could increase linearly with temperature and formaldehyde concentration, with a TOF of 2420 h-1 at 90 °C. It is promising for gaseous formaldehyde decomposition in wet air or nitrogen. Formaldehyde conversion is up to 95 % over Ru-DAPM is 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane at 90 °C in air. Gaseous formaldehyde decomposition is a two-steps process under oxygen-free condition. Firstly, formaldehyde dissolve in water, and be converted into hydrogen and formic acid through formaldehyde-water shift reaction. Then intermediate formic acid will further decompose into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. We also find formaldehyde decomposition is a synergetic catalysis process of oxygen and water in moist air. Oxygen is conducive to formic acid desorption and decomposition on the active sites, so assembled organoruthenium exhibit slightly higher conversion for formaldehyde decomposition in moist air. This work proposes a distinctive method for gaseous formaldehyde decomposition in the air, which is entirely different from formaldehyde photocatalysis or thermocatalysis oxidation.

Abstract
Novel visible-light-driven Ag3PO4/AgBr/AgI photocatalysts were prepared via a simple self-assembly strategy combined with in-situ anion-exchanging process. The photocatalytic activity of Ag3PO4 was significantly improved by constructing double-Z system. Specifically, the obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), the Ag3PO4/AgBr/AgI photocatalysts showed much higher photocatalytic activity than bulk Ag3PO4 for the degradation of formaldehyde (HCHO), and 100% HCHO degradation could be obtained within 28 min. The degradation efficiency could be maintained in five cycles. Further electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) tests demonstrated that both •OH and •O2- generated in the system. This study provides new insights into the fabrication of highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts and facilitates their practical application in emerging environment issues.

Abstract
Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, NU-1000(Zr) and Fe(III)-doped NU-1000(Zr), were prepared through the hydrothermal method and used to remove methylbenzene in this work. The pore structure, crystal structure, adsorption capacity, adsorption heat, and adsorption density of Fe(III)-doped NU-1000(Zr) were analyzed based on the experimental and Giant Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulation methods. The results show that Fe3+ has a uniform distribution and a stable structure after NU-1000(Zr) was modified with Fe3+. The adsorption-penetration experiments of NU-1000 doped with different concentrations of Fe3+ have shown that the adsorption capacity of methylbenzene on the material surface is up to 231 mg g-1 at Fe/Zr = 0.1, which is due to the less doping of Fe elements and more defective sites in the structure. The GCMC simulation shows that NU-1000(Zr) and Fe(III)-NU-1000(Zr) adsorbed methylbenzene through π-π interaction, and the adsorption effect is good and close to the experimental result. The conclusions of this paper provide important support for the modification of MOF materials and the removal of methylbenzene.

Abstract
The development of highly efficient catalysts for room-temperature formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation is of great interest for indoor air purification. In this work, it was found that the single-atom Pt1/CeO2 catalyst exhibits a remarkable activity with complete removal of HCHO even at 288 K. Combining density functional theory calculations and in situ DRIFTS experiments, it was revealed that the active OlatticeH site generated on CeO2 in the vicinity of Pt2+ via steam treatment plays a key role in the oxidation of HCHO to formate and its further oxidation to CO2. Such involvement of hydroxyls is fundamentally different from that of cofeeding water which dissociates on metal oxide and catalyzes the acid-base-related chemistry. This study provides an important implication for the design and synthesis of supported Pt catalysts with atom efficiency for a very important practical application-room-temperature HCHO oxidation.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a ubiquitous indoor pollutant that seriously endangers human health. The removal of formaldehyde effectively at room temperature has always been a challenging problem. Here, a kind of amino-fullerene derivative (C60-EDA)-modified titanium dioxide (C60-EDA/TiO2) was prepared by one-step hydrothermal method, which could degrade the formaldehyde under solar light irradiation at room temperature with high efficiency and stability. Importantly, the introduction of C60-EDA not only increases the adsorption of the free formaldehyde molecules but also improves the utilization of sunlight and suppresses photoelectron-hole recombination. The experimental results indicated that the C60-EDA/TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit much higher formaldehyde removal efficiency than carboxyl-fullerene-modified TiO2, pristine TiO2 nanoparticles, and almost all other reported formaldehyde catalysts especially in the aspect of the quality of formaldehyde that is treated by catalyst with unit mass (mHCHO/mcatalyst = 40.85 mg/g), and the removal efficiency has kept more than 96% after 12 cycles. Finally, a potential formaldehyde degradation pathway was deduced based on the situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (DRIFTS) and reaction intermediates. This work provides some indications into the design and fabrication of the catalysts with excellent catalytic performances for HCHO removal at room temperature.

Abstract
It is urgent to control the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) due to their harmful effects on the environment and human health. A hybrid system integrating non-thermal-plasma and catalysis is regarded as one of the most promising technologies for VOCs removal due to their high VOCs removal efficiency, product selectivity and energy efficiency. This review systematically documents the main findings and improvements of VOCs removal using plasma-catalysis technology in recent 10 years. To better understand the fundamental relation between different aspects of this research field, this review mainly addresses the catalyst development, key influential factors, generation of by-products and reaction mechanism of VOCs decomposition in the plasma-catalysis process. Also, a comparison of the performance in various VOCs removal processes is provided. Particular emphasis is given to the importance of the selected catalyst and the synergy of plasma and catalyst in the VOCs removal in the hybrid system, which can be used as a reference point for future studies in this field.

Abstract
In this work, SnO2 nanoflowers were prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal process. The morphology and structure of SnO2 nanoflowers were characterized by SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD, which demonstrated the good crystallinity of the SnO2 tetrahedron structure of the as-synthesized materials. In addition, the sensing properties of SnO2 nanoflowers were studied in detail. It was found that the SnO2 nanoflower-based gas sensor exhibits excellent gas response (9.2 to 120 ppm), fast response and recovery (2/15 s to 6 ppm), good linearity of correlation between response (S) vs. concentration (C) (lgS = 0.505 lgC − 0.147, R2 = 0.9863), superb repeatability, and selectivity at 300 °C. The outstanding performance can also be attributed to the high specific surface area ratio and size of SnO2 nanoflowers close to the thickness of the electron depletion layer that can provide abundant active sites, promote the rate of interaction, and make it easier for gas molecules to diffuse into the interior of the material. Therefore, SnO2 nanoflowers can be an ideal sensing material for real-time monitoring of low-concentration HCHO.

Abstract
Recently, MnO2-coated polymeric filters have shown promising performance in room-temperature formaldehyde abatement. However, a commonly known concern of MnO2/polymer composites is either MnO2 crystal encapsulation or weak adhesion. This work reports a low-cost high-throughput and green strategy to produce binder-free MnO2-nonwoven composite air filters. The production approach is energy saving and environmentally friendly, which combines MnO2 crystal coating on bicomponent polyolefin spunbond nonwovens and subsequent heat immobilizing of crystals, followed by the removal of weakly bonded MnO2. The binder-free MnO2-nonwoven composites show firm catalyst-fiber adhesion, a gradient porous structure, and excellent formaldehyde removal capability (94.5% ± 0.4%) at room temperature, and the reaction rate constant is 0.040 min−1. In contrast to the MnO2-nonwoven composites containing organic binders, the HCHO removal of binder-free filters increased by over 4%. This study proposes an alternative solution in producing catalyst/fabric composite filters for formaldehyde removal.

Abstract
The implementation of sustainable industrial development based on energy/cost-effective techniques with zero/low rate of pollutant emission is an ideal strategy for the proper management of a natural environment. Gaseous ammonia released from a variety of anthropogenic sources (e.g., agriculture, pharmaceuticals, commercial cleaning products, and refrigerant) is estimated to be as high as 150 million tons∙year-1. To reduce the negative effects of atmospheric ammonia, the great utility of advanced functional nanomaterials (e.g., metal organic frameworks, covalent organic polymers, metal/metal oxide nanoparticles, and carbon nanostructures) has been recognized. To gain a better understanding of the sorptive removal potential of diverse materials, their performance has been evaluated based on the key performance merits (e.g., initial concentration, sorption capacity, and partition coefficient). Generally, the PC values can be applied to significantly estimate the contaminant adsorption potential of NMs via balancing the biased influences of operating parameters (e.g., initial concentration of pollutants) as perceived for the partitioning of compounds between aqueous phases at equilibrium (e.g., Henry's Law). Therefore, in this work, we have proposed the PC as a prosperous performance merit (in terms of heterogeneity of surface and strength of adsorption process) for the selection of high performance nano-adsorbents for gaseous ammonia. Moreover, the water stability, recyclability, economic aspects, and future perspectives have also been discussed for real-world applications of advanced nanomaterial against gaseous ammonia adsorption. The outcome of this evaluation will be expedient for the classification/selection of the most effectual and cost-effective options for mitigation of environmental pollutants like gaseous ammonia.

A Brief Review of Formaldehyde Removal through Activated Carbon Adsorption. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12105025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Formaldehyde is a highly toxic indoor pollutant that can adversely impact human health. Various technologies have been intensively evaluated to remove formaldehyde from an indoor atmospheres. Activated carbon (AC) has been used to adsorb formaldehyde from the indoor atmosphere, which has been commercially viable owing to its low operational costs. AC has a high adsorption affinity due to its high surface area. In addition, applications of AC may be diversified by the surface modification. Among the different surface modifications for AC, amination treatments of AC have been reported and evaluated. Specifically, the amine functional groups of the amine-treated AC have been found to play an important role in the adsorption of formaldehyde. Surface modifications of AC by impregnating and/or grafting the amine functional groups onto the AC surface have been reported in the literature. The impregnation of the amine-containing species on AC is mainly achieved by physical interaction or H-bond of the amines to the AC surface. Meanwhile, the grafting of the amine functional groups is mainly conducted through chemical reactions occurring between the amines and the AC surface. Herein, the carboxyl group, as a representative functional group for grafting on the surface of AC, plays a key role in the amination reactions. A qualitative comparison of amination chemicals for the surface modification of AC has also been discussed. Thermodynamics and kinetics for adsorption of formaldehyde on AC are firstly reviewed in this paper, and then the major factors affecting the adsorptive removal of formaldehyde over AC are highlighted and discussed in terms of humidity and temperature. In addition, new strategies for amination, as well as the physical modification option for AC application, are proposed and discussed in terms of safety and processability.

Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) oxidation to improve indoor air quality has attracted extensive attention. Designing efficient catalysts for HCHO removal at room temperature still remains challenging. Herein, we report a novel strategy to boost HCHO oxidation by the synergistic effect of Pt nanoparticles and C3N4. The pyridine nitrogen of C3N4 can create Lewis base sites, which function in adsorbing and activating O2 molecules. As the preparation temperature increased, the pyridine nitrogen content increased on the C3N4 surface, leading to a more significant synergistic effect. The mechanism study by in situ DRIFTS indicated that the adsorbed O2 molecules were activated by Pt/C3N4. As a result, the Pt/C3N4-650 has the most outstanding performance for HCHO oxidation at room temperature. HCHO can be completely eliminated with a concentration of 80 ppm at room temperature at a GHSV of 50 000 ml g-1 h-1. This study will provide a new perspective to design efficient HCHO oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
The effective control on environmental pollutants is crucial for the proper management of diverse environmental systems (e.g., soil, water, and air). In this respect, the utility of various functional materials such as hyperbranched polymers (HPs) has been recognized due to their great potentil as adsorbent for the mitigation of numerous environmental pollutants. Here, we highlight the latest progress achieved in the design and construction of HPs with high adsorption potentials. We focus on adsorption mechanisms, functionalization methods, the role of functional groups in adsorption capacity, and the choice of HPs in adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes. Recent published reports are reviewed to quantify and qualify the removal efficiency of pollutants through adsorption. We also evaluate the adsorbing efficiency of the constructed HPs and compared their performance with other such systems. The utilization potential of new materials (magnetic, polar, and biological) is highlighted along with the methods needed for their preparation and/or modification (surface, end-group, and zwitterionic) for the construction of efficient adsorbing systems. Finally, the advantages and limitations of adsorbing systems are described along with the existing challenges to help establish guidelines for future research. This article is thus expected to offer new path and guidance for developing advanced HP-based adsorbents.

Abstract
Over the last few years, various industries have released wastewater containing high concentrations of dyes straight into the ecological system, which has become a major environmental problem (i.e., soil, groundwater, surface water pollution, etc.). The rapid growth of textile industries has created an alarming situation in which further deterioration to the environment has been caused due to substances being left in treated wastewater, including dyes. The application of activated carbon has recently been demonstrated to be a highly efficient technology in terms of removing methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. Agricultural waste, as well as animal-based and wood products, are excellent sources of bio-waste for MB remediation since they are extremely efficient, have high sorption capacities, and are renewable sources. Despite the fact that commercial activated carbon is a favored adsorbent for dye elimination, its extensive application is restricted because of its comparatively high cost, which has prompted researchers to investigate alternative sources of adsorbents that are non-conventional and more economical. The goal of this review article was to critically evaluate the accessible information on the characteristics of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for MB's removal, as well as related parameters influencing the performance of this process. The review also highlighted the processing methods developed in previous studies. Regeneration processes, economic challenges, and the valorization of post-sorption materials were also discussed. This review is beneficial in terms of understanding recent advances in the status of biowaste-derived adsorbents, highlighting the accelerating need for the development of low-cost adsorbents and functioning as a precursor for large-scale system optimization.

Abstract
In this research, the adsorption behavior of formaldehyde (FA) onto two types of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs: MOF-199 [M199] and UiO-66-NH2 [U6N]) is investigated against changes in the key process variables (e.g., FA partial pressure (0.5-10 Pa), temperature (30-120 °C), and relative humidity (RH: 0%, 50%, and 100%)). The results revealed that the FA adsorption behavior onto both MOFs is exothermic in nature. Besides, their relative dominance for FA uptake varies interactively with the changes in RH and FA partial pressure levels. As the FA levels increase in dry conditions, their breakthrough volumes (BTV (100% BT)) exhibit contrasting trends: The values of U6N decreased noticeably from 5232 and 3792 L·atm·g-1, while those of M199 increased from 4152 to 5772 L·atm·g-1. The superiority of U6N over M199 in the lower FA level (at<5 Pa) is supported by the Lewis acid-base interactions with amine groups (U6N) in line with kinetic/isotherm studies. Such superiority is also persistent at higher (10 Pa) FA level under all humid conditions in line with its higher moisture stability. However, in dry conditions, the reversal of relative dominance in which M199 exhibits enhanced efficacy for 10 Pa FA uptake (relative to U6N) should reflect its breathing effects with the potent role of pore-diffusion mechanism. This study offers valuable insights into the construction of tunable adsorbents with enhanced adsorptivity toward key targets.

Abstract
The hazardous indoor air pollutants of formaldehyde (HCHO) are harmful for human health. Nowadays, it is important to design and fabricate green and efficient HCHO removal materials for HCHO removal from polluted indoor air. In this manuscript, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as green nanomaterials were successfully surface-initiated by 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl acetoacetate (MEAA) as functional monomer via surface-initiated Activator Generated by Electron Transfer Atom Transfer Radical Polymerization (SI-AGET ATRP) for the application in removal of HCHO. The employment of CNCs/Poly(2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl acetoacetate) (CNCs@PMEAA) as nanocomposites were further implanted self-healing waterborne coating for an effective way to remove HCHO. From the result, the HCHO removal efficiency reached 97.5% of CNCs@PMEAA-type coating within 300 min at room temperature, which was much higher than that of the conventional coating (82.8%). This study provides some promising green methods for designing nanocomposite's waterborne coating to remove HCHO at room temperature.

Abstract
In this work, a simple but effective method based on Gamma-ray initiated polymerization was reported for the first time through direct irradiation of CNCs and ionic liquid monomer to obtain poly (ionic liquids) functionalized CNCs (IL@CNCs). The adsorptive removal of Congo red (CR) from aqueous solution by IL@CNCs was also examined and the influence of contact time, pH values, initial concentrations and temperature on adsorption behavior was investigated in detail. Under the same adsorption conditions, the adsorption capacity was increased from 59.72 mg/g (CNCs) to 195.83 mg/g (IL@CNCs). The results of the adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics showed that the experimental data were more suitable to be described by the Freundlich isotherm adsorption model and the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process of CR on the surface of the adsorbent was endothermic and spontaneous. When the aqueous solution was acidic, it was more conducive to the adsorption of CR. At 100% breakthrough, the value of adsorption capacity is 199.95 mg/g and the value of partition coefficient is 9.64. Moreover, the adsorption capacity is expected to be further improved through adjustment of polymerization parameters and this method can also be used for preparation other poly (ionic liquids) modified composites.

Abstract
To achieve carbon neutrality, it is necessary to control carbon-based gas emissions to the atmosphere. Among the various carbon-based gas removal technologies reported to date, adsorption is considered one of the most promising because of its economic efficiency, reusability, and low energy consumption. Activated carbon is widely used to treat different types of carbon-based gases owing to its large specific surface area, abundant functional groups, and strong adsorption capacity. This paper reviews the recent research progress into activated carbon as an adsorbent for carbon-based gases. The key factors (i.e., specific surface area, pore structure, and surface functional groups) affecting the adsorption of carbon-based gases by activated carbon were analyzed. The main methods employed to modify activated carbon (i.e., surface oxidation, surface reduction, loading materials, and plasma modification methods) to improve its adsorption capacity are also discussed herein, along with the targeted applications of such material in the adsorption of different types of carbon-based gases (such as aldehydes, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, and carbon-based greenhouse gases). Finally, the future development directions and challenges of activated carbon are discussed. Our work will be expected to benefit the development of activated carbon exhibiting selective adsorption properties, and reduce the production costs of adsorbents.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:69059-69073. [PMID: 34286429 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-15294-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 06/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
CuxO/Bi2O3 oxides grown on nickel foam were synthesized via an electrodeposition method to degrade indoor HCHO under visible light irradiation and fully characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR, and UV-Vis technologies. The characterization results showed that the CuxO/Bi2O3 oxides were successfully loaded on nickel foam and the visible light response spectrum was expanded to 740 nm. Plackett-Burman design combined with central composite design has been used to optimize factors that affect HCHO removal performance. The results demonstrated that bismuth nitrate content, polyethylene glycol 600 content, sintering time, and lactic acid concentration were the four most important factors affecting the HCHO removal performance over CuxO/Bi2O3 sample. The optimum CuxO/Bi2O3 sample could degrade 88.796% of HCHO in 300 min at the conditions of 4.28 mol/L lactic acid, 4.86% polyethylene glycol 600, 194.03 min sintering time, and 45.83 g bismuth nitrate, and the HCHO removal rate remained 82.3% after five cycles. A plausible mechanism for the degradation of HCHO under visible light irradiation was proposed. This work provides a feasible solution for removing indoor formaldehyde in the field of photocatalysis.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 298:113468. [PMID: 34392094 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.113468] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 07/26/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
A novel metal-biochar (Biochar/AMDS) composite were fabricated by co-pyrolysis of spent coffee waste (SCW)/acid mine drainage sludge (AMDS), and their effective application in adsorptive removal of air pollutants such as formaldehyde in indoor environments was evaluated. The physicochemical characteristics of Biochar/AMDS were analyzed using SEM/EDS, XRF, XRD, BET, and FTIR. The characterization results illustrated that Biochar/AMDS had the highly porous structure, carbonaceous layers, and heterogeneous Fe phases (hematite, metallic Fe, and magnetite). The fixed-bed column test showed that the removal of formaldehyde by Biochar/AMDS was 18.4-fold higher than that by metal-free biochar (i.e., SCW-derived biochar). Changing the ratio of AMDS from 1:6 to 1:1 significantly increased the adsorption capacity for formaldehyde from 1008 to 1811 mg/g. In addition, thermal treatment of used adsorbent at 100 °C effectively restored the adsorptive function exhausted during the column test. These results provide new insights into the fabrication of practical, low-cost and ecofriendly sorbent for formaldehyde.

Construction of BiOCl/Clinoptilolite Composite Photocatalyst for Boosting Formaldehyde Removal. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14216469. [PMID: 34771992 PMCID: PMC8585134 DOI: 10.3390/ma14216469] [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: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 10/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Binary composite was synthesized via coupling BiOCl with alkali leached natural clinoptilolite (40B0/CN), which showed retarded recombination of photo-generated carriers. The clinoptilolite was pretreated with alkali leaching, resulting in a larger pore size and high cation exchange capacity. The modified clinoptilolite was more feasible for the growth of BiOCl and to promote the adsorption ability for formaldehyde (HCHO). In addition, the cation exchange capacity was conducive to anchor Bi3+, further leading to the reduction of the particle size of BiOCl. The carrier effect of alkali leached natural clinoptilolite promoted the amorphous transformation of BiOCl at low temperature, which simultaneously produced more distortions and defects in the BiOCl lattice. The 40B0/CN composite exhibited the superior light absorption ability with a narrower band gap. The photocatalytic degradation rate for HCHO of 40B0/CN under solar light reached 87.7%, and the reaction rate constant was 0.0166 min−1, which was 1.6 times higher than that of BiOCl. This paper gave a deep insight into photocatalytic technology to efficiently degrade formaldehyde.

Abstract
Formaldehyde as significant environmental hazard in air seriously harm the environment and human health. Although photocatalysis has demonstrated the possibility for HCHO degradation, it has long been limited by unsatisfied degradation efficiency and the unclear reaction mechanism. Here, we confirm that surface atomic arrangement of BiPO4 plays a critical role in photooxidation of HCHO via modulating the reaction pathway, offering 2.63 times enhancement of HCHO degradation efficiency. We dissect the processes in the photocatalytic reaction by DFT calculation, ROS monitoring, and in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectra (DRIFTS) investigation. Specifically, we reveal that the controlling surface atomic arrangement could modulate adsorption model from single-point to bridging, and promote activation of small molecules. Concurrently, the active surface dependent on crystal structure facilitates the efficient transformation of intermediates (HCOOH*) (reducing energy barrier from 0.41 to -0.35 eV), producing final-product (H2CO3, ∆G = -0.35 eV) while suppressing toxic by-product (CO, ∆G = 0.32 eV), which contributes to the sustained deep mineralization of HCHO with enhancement by 61.4%. The findings are crucial as they provide crystal-structure related insights into the design of efficient catalysts for photocatalytic HCHO degradation. Ultimately, current molecular understanding should unlock the solar-driven catalytic pathways for other oxidation reactions.

Front Chem 2021; 9:742488.

Abstract
As formaldehyde is an extremely toxic volatile organic pollutant, a highly sensitive and selective gas sensor for low-concentration formaldehyde monitoring is of great importance. Herein, metal-organic framework (MOF) derived Pd/PdO@ZnO porous nanostructures were synthesized through hydrothermal method followed by calcination processes. Specifically, porous Pd/PdO@ZnO nanomaterials with large surfaces were synthesized using MOFs as sacrificial templates. During the calcination procedure, an optimized temperature of 500°C was used to form a stable structure. More importantly, intensive PdO@ZnO inside the material and composite interface provides lots of p-n heterojunction to efficiently manipulate room temperature sensing performance. As the height of the energy barrier at the junction of PdO@ZnO exponentially influences the sensor resistance, the Pd/PdO@ZnO nanomaterials exhibit high sensitivity (38.57% for 100 ppm) at room temperature for 1-ppm formaldehyde with satisfactory selectivity towards (ammonia, acetone, methanol, and IPA). Besides, due to the catalytic effect of Pd and PdO, the adsorption and desorption of the gas molecules are accelerated, and the response and recovery time is as small as 256 and 264 s, respectively. Therefore, this MOF-driven strategy can prepare metal oxide composites with high surface area, well-defined morphology, and satisfactory room-temperature formaldehyde gas sensing performance for indoor air quality control.

Abstract
Porous materials have attracted significant attention because of their rising applications in many fields. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are suitable building units in the fabrication of porous materials owing to their intrinsic nanoporous structure, easy modification, and biocompatibility, which may result in the formation of CD-based organic frameworks (including cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) and cyclodextrin covalent organic frameworks (CD-COFs)), and CD-based polymer hybrid porous materials. This review focuses on the recent progress in the fabrication and applications of CD-based porous materials with novel structures and functionalities.
