Green Synthesis of Er-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles: An Investigation on the Methylene Blue, Eosin, and Ibuprofen Removal by Photodegradation. Molecules 2024; 29:391. [PMID: 38257303 PMCID: PMC10818354 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29020391] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024] Open
Abstract
We present a study on the green synthesis of undoped and Er-doped ZnO compounds using Mangifera indica gum (MI). A set of tests were conducted to assess the structure of the material. The tests included X-ray diffraction, Raman, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Optical properties were studied using diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence. Morphological and textural investigations were done using SEM images and N2 adsorption/desorption. Furthermore, photocatalytic tests were performed with methylene blue (MB), yellow eosin (EY), and the pharmaceutical drug ibuprofen (IBU) under UV irradiation. The study demonstrated that replacing the stabilizing agent with Mangifera indica gum is an effective method for obtaining ZnO nanoparticles. Additionally, the energy gap of the nanoparticles exhibits a slight reduction in value. Photoluminescence studies showed the presence of zinc vacancies and other defects in both samples. In the photocatalytic test, the sample containing Er3+ exhibited a degradation of 99.7% for methylene blue, 81.2% for yellow eosin, and 52.3% for ibuprofen over 120 min. In the presence of methyl alcohol, the degradation of MB and EY dyes is 16.7% and 55.7%, respectively. This suggests that hydroxyl radicals are responsible for the direct degradation of both dyes. In addition, after the second reuse, the degradation rate for MB was 94.08%, and for EY, it was 82.35%. For the third reuse, the degradation rate for MB was 97.15%, and for EY, it was 17%. These results indicate the significant potential of the new semiconductor in environmental remediation applications from an ecological synthesis.

Abstract
The synthesis of barium and strontium stannates in the process of decomposition of hydrothermally obtained precursors has been investigated. It was found that endothermic weight loss during the synthesis of barium stannate occurs in two stages, whereas during the synthesis of strontium stannate it occurs in one stage. From the summary of the results of thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, and Mössbauer spectroscopy, the composition and local structure of X-ray amorphous phases are proposed. It is shown that the improvement of the crystal structure of the perovskite phases of MSnO3 (M = Ba, Sr) and the symmetry of the local environment of 119Sn continues up to high temperatures (1250-1500 °C) and is associated with the elimination of defects in the anion sublattice. The photocatalytic activity of hydrothermal phases MSn(OH)6 and their thermolysis products has been studied and was found not to be directly related to the specific surface area of the photocatalysts. The degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) occurs during the "dark" stages of catalysis due to the interaction of the dye with reactive oxygen species (mainly singlet oxygen). At the first stage, the decomposition of the RhB photochromic system is observed, whereas at the final stage of bleaching the dye is deethylated.

Abstract
This review focuses on a reasoned search for articles to treat contaminated water using hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based compounds. In addition, the fundamentals of heterogeneous photocatalysis were considered, combined with parameters that affect the pollutants’ degradation using hydroxyapatite-based photocatalyst design and strategies of this photocatalyst, and the challenges of and perspectives on the development of these materials. Many critical applications have been analyzed to degrade dyes, drugs, and pesticides using HAp-based photocatalysts. This systematic review highlights the recent state-of-the-art advances that enable new paths and good-quality preparations of HAp-derived photocatalysts for photocatalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation is a sustainable technique for reducing the environmental hazards created by the overuse of antibiotics in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Herein, a layer of MoS2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite is introduced to zirconium oxide (ZrO2) nanoparticles to form a "particle-embedded-layered" structure. Thus, a narrow band gap (2.8 eV) starts developing, deliberated as a core photodegradation component. Under optimization, a high photocatalytic activity of 20 mg/L TC at pH 3 with ZrO2@MoS2/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was achieved with 94.8% photocatalytic degradation in 90 min. A photocatalytic degradation rate constant of 0.0230 min-1 is determined, which is 2.3 times greater than the rate constant for bare ZrO2 NPs. The superior photocatalytic activity of ZrO2@MoS2/g-C3N4 is due to the dual charge-transfer channel between the MoS2/g-C3N4 and ZrO2 nanoparticles, which promotes the formation of photogenerated e-/h+ pairs. Charge recombination produces many free electron-hole pairs, which aid photocatalyst reactions by producing superoxide and hydroxyl radicals via electron-hole pair generation. The possible mechanistic routes for TC were investigated in-depth, as pointed out by the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) investigation. Overall, this work shows that photocatalysis is a feasible sorbent approach for environmental antibiotic wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Perovskite has been widely concerned in the field of modern environmental catalysis due to its low price, high stability, excellent catalytic activity, diverse structure and strong conversion adaptability. In recent years, people have been working on the coupling of perovskite catalysts and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) on the removal of organic pollutants from wastewater. In this review, we classified perovskites of different designs and summarized the application and basic reaction mechanisms of each perovskite in different AOPs. This review helps scientists selecting and designing more effective perovskite catalysts for AOPs by summarizing the applications and reaction mechanisms of perovskite in AOPs. At the end of the review, the challenges and future directions of perovskite in removing organic pollutants from wastewater are discussed.

A Brief Photocatalytic Study of ZnO Containing Cerium towards Ibuprofen Degradation. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14195891.

Abstract
Ibuprofen (IBU) is one of the most-sold anti-inflammatory drugs in the world, and its residues can reach aquatic systems, causing serious health and environmental problems. Strategies are used to improve the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide (ZnO), and thosethat involvethe inclusion of metalhave received special attention. The aim of this work was to investigate the influence of the parameters and toxicity of a photoproduct using zinc oxide that contains cerium (ZnO-Ce) for the photodegradation of ibuprofen. The parameters include the influence of the photocatalyst concentration (0.5, 0.5, and 1.5 g L−1) as well as the effects of pH (3, 7, and 10), the effect of H2O2, and radical scavengers. The photocatalyst was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy, Raman, X-Ray Diffraction, surface area, and diffuse reflectance. The photocatalytic activity of ibuprofen was evaluated in an aqueous solution under UV light for 120 min. The structural characterization by XRD and SEM elucidated the fact that the nanoparticle ZnO contained cerium. The band gap value was 3.31 eV. The best experimental conditions for the photodegradation of IBU were 60% obtained in an acidic condition using 0.50 g L−1 of ZnO-Ce in a solution of 20 ppm of IBU. The presence of hydrogen peroxide favored the photocatalysis process. ZnO-Ce exhibited good IBU degradation activity even after three photocatalytic cycles under UV light. The hole plays akey role in the degradation process of ibuprofen. The toxicity of photolyzed products was monitored against Artemia salina (bioindicator) and did not generate toxic metabolites. Therefore, this work provides a strategic design to improve ZnO-Ce photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Apart from perovskites, the development of different types of pyrochlore oxides is highly focused on various electrochemical applications in recent times. Based on this, we have synthesized pyrochlore-type praseodymium stannate nanoparticles (Pr2Sn2O7 NPs) by using a coprecipitation method and further investigated by different analytical and spectroscopic techniques such as X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy, high resolution-transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Followed by this, we have designed a unique and novel electrochemical sensor for nitrofurazone detection, by modifying the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) with the prepared Pr2Sn2O7 NPs. For that, the electrochemical experiments were performed by using cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry techniques. The Pr2Sn2O7 NPs modified GCE exhibits high sensitivity (2.11 μA μM-1 cm-2), selectivity, dynamic linear ranges (0.01-24 μM and 32-332 μM), and lower detection limit (4 nM). Furthermore, the Pr2Sn2O7 NPs demonstrated promising real sample analysis with good recovery results in biological samples (human urine and blood serum) which showed better results than the noble metal catalysts. Based on these results, the present work gives clear evidence that the pyrochlore oxides are highly suitable electrode materials for performing outstanding catalytic activity toward electrochemical sensors.

Abstract
CaSnO3: Pr3+ phosphor for new application in temperature sensing was investigated. CaSnO3: 0.3%Pr3+ had distorted orthorhombic perovskite structure and Pr3+ occupied Ca2+ sites due to their similar ionic radii. CaSnO3: 0.3%Pr3+ had spherical particles with mean size of 0.816 μm. The electric dipole-dipole interaction could explain the concentration quenching mechanism. The chromaticity coordinates were (0.1324, 0.3847), located in greenish-blue region and the average afterglow decay time was 60.2 s for CaSnO3: 0.15%Pr3+, which had potential applications for LED and emergency lighting. CaSnO3: 0.3%Pr3+ had the activated energy of 0.380 eV. The maximum relative temperature sensitivity for CaSnO3: 0.3%Pr3+ was 7.57% K-1 at 298 K and relative sensitivity was as high as 6722.76/T2 K-1, which was better than that of most Pr3+ doped phosphors and had potential application in temperature sensing. Moreover, the possible luminescence and long afterglow mechanisms and thermal quenching process of 3P0 level through IVCT state were proposed.

Abstract
Novel green photocatalysts based on ZnO in the presence of arabic gum (AGZ) or karaya gum (KGZ) were synthesized by a sol-gel method for photocatalytic performance. The materials were characterized by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, SEM, nitrogen adsorption/desorption, and PL and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Photocatalytic test was performed using methylene blue (MB) dye as the target pollutant under visible light. The reuse of photocatalysts and Artemia saline bioassays were investigated. The ZnO nanoparticles showed a hexagonal structure and the values of the band gaps were 2.95 (AGZ) and 2.98 eV (KGZ). The PL results demonstrated emission bands at 440, 473 or 478 and 549 nm. The textural properties indicated the presence of typically mesoporous materials. The MB discoloration efficiency was 81.5% and 91.0% for AGZ and KGZ, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of AGZ and KGZ was maintained after the third run. The ˙OH radicals are the main species involved in the MB discoloration. The MB discoloration from the photocatalysts showed no toxicity; therefore, they are considered to be promising materials for the degradation of the dye in the photocatalytic process.

Abstract
Flowers-like ZnO structures were synthesized using Arabic Gum (AGZnO) or Karaya Gum (KGZnO). The AGZnO and KGZnO were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Fourier Transformed Infrared, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Photoluminescence, nitrogen adsorption/desorption and diffuse reflectance techniques. The materials were tested in the discoloration of Methylene Blue (MB) dye under visible light and scavenger studies were also performed. The toxicity of the MB irradiated was investigated in bioassays with Artemia salina. The structural characterization demonstrated the formation of hexagonal ZnO. All samples presented flower-like morphology with presence of mesopores identified by BET method. The optical properties indicated band gap of 2.99 (AGZnO) and 2.76 eV (KGZnO), and emission in violet, blue and green emissions also were observed. The KGZnO demonstrated better photocatalytic performance than the AGZnO, and scavenger studies indicated that OH radicals are the main species involved in the degradation of the pollutant model. The photodiscoloration of MB solution did not demonstrate toxicity. Therefore, KGZnO is a promising material for photocatalysis application.
