Abstract
Quinoline is high toxicity and difficult biodegradation in oil washing wastewater. Therefore, efficient removal of quinoline contaminant from water bodies poses a major challenge. Hence, Co quantum dot loaded N-doped porous carbon (CoNC) nanosheets grown in situ on carbon cloth were fabricated as cathode for the degradation of quinoline in electro-Fenton system. Under optimal conditions (c(Fe2+) = 0.5 mM, U = -0.3 V, pH = 3), quinoline was completely degraded within 15 min with superior apparent rate constant of 0.385 min-1, which was 19.6 times higher than that of the ZIF-L precursor, due to the abundance of Co QDs active sites and hydrophilicity and electrical conductivity of N-doped porous carbon. In addition, three reaction pathways for quinoline were deduced by combining Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculation and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). More importantly, in situ FTIR and free energy calculations were analyzed to reveal that pathway Ⅰ as spontaneous reaction was the main reaction pathway. Finally, the toxicity of the intermediates was assessed with ECOSAR software and E. coli experiments, and the overall toxicity decreased during the degradation reactions. This work provides novel perspectives on environmental protection by designing in-situ grown cathodes through self-assembly method, thereby effectively purifying pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
Innovative and efficient strategies are urgently needed for wastewater treatment and environmental remediation. The photocatalytic degradation properties of photo-responsive nanomaterials (NMs) have become a prime candidate due to their low negative impact and photo-adjustability. Photocatalytic NMs vary in their degradation of different pollutants depending on the type of synthetic material, excitation light source, and physicochemical properties. Essentially, photocatalytic NMs excited by light produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) or metal ions that can degrade complex structure pollutants. Therefore, this review summarises the recent advances of photocatalytic NMs in the environmental application within the last 3 years, focusing on the development schemes, structural analyses, photocatalytic mechanisms, and the degradation effects of dyes, antibiotics, pesticides, phenolic compounds, metals, hormones, and other contaminants. The limitations and future directions are also explained. This review hopes to provide a possible pathway for the subsequent development of novel and efficient photocatalytic NMs to cope with complex and variable polluted environments.

Abstract
Although nanozymes have drawn great attention over the past decade, the activities of peroxidase-like, oxidase-like, and catalase-like nanozymes are often pH dependent with elusive mechanism, which largely restricts their application. Therefore, a systematical discussion on the pH-related catalytic mechanisms of nanozymes together with the methods to overcome this limitation is in need. In this review, various nanozymes exhibiting pH-dependent catalytic activities are collected and the root causes for their pH dependence are comprehensively analyzed. Subsequently, regulatory concepts including catalytic environment reconstruction and direct catalytic activity improvement to break this pH restriction are summarized. Moreover, applications of pH-independent nanozymes in sensing, disease therapy, and pollutant degradation are overviewed. Finally, current challenges and future opportunities on the development of pH-independent nanozymes are suggested. It is anticipated that this review will promote the further design of pH-independent nanozymes and broaden their application range with higher efficiency.

Abstract
Quinoline inevitably remains in the effluent of coking wastewater treatment plants due to its bio-refractory nature, which might cause unfavorable effects on human and ecological environments. In this study, MnCexOy was consciously synthesized by α-MnO2 doped with Ce3+ (Ce:Mn = 1:10) and employed as the ozonation catalyst for quinoline degradation. After that, the removal efficiency and mechanism of quinoline were systematically analyzed by characterizing the physicochemical properties of MnCexOy, investigating free radicals and monitoring the solution pH. Results indicated that the removal rate of quinoline was greatly improved by the prepared MnCexOy catalyst. Specifically, the removal efficiencies of quinoline could be 93.73, 62.57 and 43.76%, corresponding to MnCexOy, α-MnO2 and single ozonation systems, respectively. The radical scavenging tests demonstrated that •OH and •O2- were the dominant reactive oxygen species in the MnCexOy ozonation system. Meanwhile, the contribution levels of •OH and •O2- to quinoline degradation were about 42 and 35%, respectively. The abundant surface hydroxyl groups and oxygen vacancies of the MnCexOy catalyst were two important factors for decomposing molecular O3 into more •OH and •O2-. This study could provide scientific support for the application of the MnCexOy/O3 system in degrading quinoline in bio-treated coking wastewater.

Abstract
Sustainable functionalization of renewable aromatics is a key step to supply our present needs for specialty chemicals and pursuing the transition to a circular, fossil-free economy. In the present work, three typically stable aromatic compounds, representative of products abundantly obtainable from biomass or recycling processes, were functionalized in one-pot oxidation reactions at room temperature, using H2O2 as a green oxidant and ethanol as a green solvent in the presence of a highly electron withdrawing iron porphyrin catalyst. The results show unusual initial epoxidation of the aromatic ring by the green catalytic system. The epoxides were isolated or evolved through rearrangement, ring opening by nucleophiles, and oxidation. Acridine was oxidized to mono- and di-oxides in the peripheral ring: 1:2-epoxy-1,2-dihydroacridine and anti-1:2,3:4-diepoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine, with TON of 285. o-Xylene was oxidized to 4-hydroxy-3,4-dimethylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone, an attractive building block for synthesis, and 3,4-dimethylphenol as an intermediate, with TON of 237. Quinoline was directly functionalized to 4-quinolone or 3-substituted-4-quinolones (3-ethoxy-4-quinolone or 3-hydroxy-4-quinolone) and corresponding hydroxy-tautomers, with TON of 61.

Abstract
In this work, the fabrication of the CuO on ZnCdS as a heterojunction nanocomposites were conducted by hydrothermal method and the synthesis method was confirmed by the XRD, XPS, EDS, UV-vis spectrum analysis. The CuO/ZnCdS was used as a photocathode in the bio-photoelectrochemical system (BPES) for tetracycline (TC) degradation under solar irradiation. The CuO/ZnCdS photocathode indicated substantial photocatalytic efficiency for TC degradation, due to the fast separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers. The ESR test evaluates the mechanism of degradation, and shows that ·OH, and ·O2- were contributed to TC degradation. The TC degradation was 1.59 times higher than the unilluminated process (98.72% vs 61.71). The photocatalysis test shows that the TC was degraded about 90.5% in 1.5 h. Then, the synthesized CuO/ZnCdS nanocomposites were studied for the biological application such as antifungal activities. CuO/ZnCdS nanocomposites depicted substantial antimicrobial activity versus Candida-albicans by in vitro process. Therefore, this study suggests the novel system for the antibiotics degradation, and as antifungal application.

Abstract
Heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes are a promising approach for cost-efficient removal of pollutants using semiconductors. Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is an auspicious material for photocatalytic activity owning to its suitable bandgap, stability, and low cost. However, ZrO2 suffers from fast recombination rate, and poor light harvesting ability. Nonetheless, extra modification has also shown improvements and therefore is worth investigating. The endeavour of this paper initially discusses the fundamentals with respect to reactive species, classification, and synthesis methods for ZrO2. Furthermore, with particular consideration to stability and reusability, several additional modification approaches for ZrO2-based photocatalysts such as doping and noble metals loading. Furthermore, the formation of heterojunctions has also been shown to boost photocatalytic activity while inhibiting charge carrier recombination. Finally, photocatalyst separation via magnetic-based photocatalysts are elucidated. As a result, ZrO2-based photocatalysts are regarded as a promising emerging technology that warrants further development and research.
