Formulation of silver phosphate/graphene/silica nanocomposite for enhancing the photocatalytic degradation of trypan blue dye in aqueous solution. Sci Rep 2024; 14:15885. [PMID: 38987354 PMCID: PMC11237074 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-66054-5] [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: 12/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of several harmful organic compounds has been presented as a potential approach to detoxify water in recent decades. Trypan Blue (TB) is an acidic azo dye used to distinguish live cells from dead ones and it's classified as a carcinogenic dye. In this study, silver phosphate (Ag3PO4) nanoparticles and novel Ag3PO4/graphene/SiO2 nanocomposite have been successfully prepared via simple precipitation method. Afterward, their physical properties, chemical composition, and morphology have been characterized using SEM, EDS, TEM, SAED, BET, XRD, FTIR and UV-VIS spectroscopy. The specific surface area of Ag3PO4 and Ag3PO4/G/SiO2 nanocomposite were reported to be 1.53 and 84.97 m2/g, respectively. The band gap energy of Ag3PO4 and Ag3PO4/G/SiO2 nanocomposite was measured to be 2.4 and 2.307 eV, respectively. Photocatalytic degradation of Trypan blue (TB) was studied at different parameters such as pH, catalyst dosage, initial concentration, and contact time. The results showed that, at initial dye concentration of 20 ppm, pH = 2, and using 0.03 g of Ag3PO4/G/SiO2 as a photocatalyst, the degradation percent of TB dye in the aqueous solution was 98.7% within 10 min of light exposure. Several adsorption isotherms such as Langmuir, Freundlich, and Temkin adsorption isotherms have been tested in addition to the photocatalytic degradation kinetics. Both catalysts were found to follow the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-second-order kinetic model. Finally, the possible photocatalytic performance mechanism of Ag3PO4/G/SiO2 was proposed.

Abstract
Textile industry dye effluent contains a mixture of different kinds of dyes. Many times, photocatalysis is targeted as a solution for the treatment of dye effluent from the textile industry. Many researches have been published related to the photocatalysis of single textile dyes but in the real-world scenario, effluent is a mixture of dyes. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is used as a photocatalyst to treat a mixture (binary solution) of Methylene blue (MB) and Methylene violet (MV) along with individual MB and MV dyes in this article. MgO shows remarkable photocatalytic activity at about 93 and 88% for MB and MV dye in binary solution within 135 min. Furthermore, to study the influence of process parameters, experiments are designed with the help of the central composite design (CCD), and Response surface methodology (RSM) is used to study the interactions between parameters. For this study, five parameters are selected i.e., Photocatalyst dosage, initial concentration of both dyes, time of exposure to the light source, and pH of the binary solution. The photocatalytic process is also optimized and finally optimization of process parameters is validated with an experiment. The result of the validation experiment is very close to the predicted photocatalytic activity.

Highly reusable Bi 2O 3/electron-Cu-shuttle in-situ immobilized polyacrylonitrile fibrous mat for efficient photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue and rhodamine B dyes. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 354:120346. [PMID: 38387350 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120346] [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: 10/09/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Organic semiconductor-based photocatalysts have been alluring due to their edge over inorganic photocatalysts. In this study, a reusable copper-bismuth oxide/polyacrylonitrile (Cu-Bi2O3/PAN) fibrous mat was prepared by fast-process flame spray pyrolysis and electrospinning for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) dyes. The results confirmed a well-defined morphology of Cu-Bi2O3/PAN fibers and good coordination of flame-made Cu-Bi2O3 particles with the functional groups of PAN. The Cu-Bi2O3/PAN fibrous mat exhibits remarkable photocatalytic performance of 96.2% MB and 98.6% RhB degradation, with a reaction rate as high as about 4.5- and 10.2-times than that of flame-made Cu-Bi2O3 particles and PAN under neutral condition, even after 10 cycles. The Cu-Bi2O3/PAN exhibits complete degradation of MB and RhB in 90 and 150 min under alkaline and slightly acidic conditions, respectively. The synergistic effect of Cu-Bi2O3 and coordination bond between particles and functional groups of PAN promoted carrier migration, suppressed recombination of carriers and provided abundant radicals on the surface of the mat. Superoxide and hydroxyl radicals were the major active species involved in the degradation of RhB and MB, respectively. This work provides an insight into designing the Cu-metal-shuttle based photocatalysts to optimize fibrous mat application in water remediation.

WATER ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH : A RESEARCH PUBLICATION OF THE WATER ENVIRONMENT FEDERATION 2023; 95:e10921. [PMID: 37669774 DOI: 10.1002/wer.10921] [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: 05/09/2023] [Revised: 08/03/2023] [Accepted: 08/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/07/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the synthesized nanocomposite was evaluated novel graphene oxide/pectin/ferrite (GOPF) adsorbent to the adsorption of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Gemifloxacin (GEM) from wastewater. Theoretical studies were carried out using quantum simulation via the Forcite module in Material Studio 2017. The simulation results demonstrated RhB and GEM adsorption over other dyes and drugs. The synthesized nanocomposite was identified by BET, TGA, FT-IR, FE-SEM, XRD, VSM, and EDS. The nanocomposite's ability to effectively take RhB and GEM from an aqueous solution was checked by performing a series of experiments based on the effect of adsorbent dose, initial condensation, contact time, pH, and temperature. The nanocomposite kinetics follow a PSO. The Freundlich isotherm model was applied for maximum adsorption capacity of GEM (124.37 mg/g) and RhB (86.60 mg/g) on GOPF nanocomposite. According to the antibacterial activity test, the synthesized nanocomposite can kill bacteria 5 mm in diameter. Also, the anti-cancer test of nanocomposite was done with 75% viability in high concentrations of nanocomposite. Thus, GOPF application results are not only suitable for dyes but only satisfying for drugs. PRACTITIONER POINTS: GOPF nanocomposite was fabricated for adsorption dye and drug and characterized. The effect of different process parameters, pH, catalyst dosage, contact time, and temperature effect was surveyed. The MD simulation were investigated to adsorb various dyes and drugs. The equilibrium isotherm and adsorption kinetic follow from Freundlich and pseudo-second-order kinetics; GOPF nanocomposite was used for about six cycles. The antibacterial activity and anticancer test of GOPF nanocomposite were investigated by satisfying results.

Abstract
Sustainable wastewater treatment is crucial to remediate the water pollutants through the development of highly efficient, low-cost and separation free photocatalyst. The aim of this study is to construct a novel CoNiO2-BiFeO3-NiS ternary nanocomposite (NCs) for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants by utilising visible light. The NCs was characterized by various physiochemical techniques, including HR-TEM, SEM, XPS, FT-IR, ESR, EIS, PL, UV-visible DRS, and N2 adsorption and desorption analysis. The photocatalyst exhibits extraordinary degradation efficiency towards MO (99.8%) and RhB (97.8%). The intermediates were determined using GC-MS analysis and the degradation pathway was elucidated. The complete mineralization was further confirmed by TOC analysis. The CoNiO2-BiFeO3-NiS ternary NCs have shown excellent photostability, structural stability and reusability even after six cycles and it is confirmed by XRD and XPS analysis. The kinetic study reveals that the photodegradation of the dyes follows first order reaction. The influence of different pH, dye concentrations and NCs dosages were investigated. The intermediate toxicity was predicted by computational stimulation using ECOSAR software. The NCs shows promising potential for ecological safety which demonstrates its practical application in the treatment of waste water pollutants in large scale.

Abstract
In this study, 3D BiOI nanoparticle (BOI NPs) modified MgCr2O4 nanoparticle (MCO NPs) was fabricated by simple sonochemical and coprecipitation method for the enhanced photocatalytic activity. The morphological structure of the MgCr2O4-BiOI nanocomposite (MCO-BOI NCs) was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), electron impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photo luminescence (PL). The lower in the PL intensity and small arc in EIS for NCs shows the effective charge separation and lower in rate of recombination of charge carriers in NCs than the pure MCO and BOI NPs. The degradation efficiency of Rhodamine B (RhB) and malachite green (MG) by MCO-BOI NCs was found to be 99.5% and 98.2% receptivity. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation of RhB and MG was studied under various environmental parameters (different pH, varying the concentration of NCs and dyes) and response surface (RSM) plot was performed. The complete mineralization of RhB and MG by MCO-BOI NCs was determined by TOC. In addition, the photocatalytic degradation pathway was elucidated based on GC-MS results and Fukui function. In addition, the toxicity of intermediate formed during the degradation of RhB and MG was predicted by ECOSAR. The present work highlights the application of MCO-BOI NCs in environmental remediation for toxic pollutant removal.

Abstract
Various photocatalytic nanomaterials for environmental remediation have been promoted due to the pollution caused by different organic pollutants. In this study, Nb2O5 nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning technique, presenting controlled crystallinity and high specific surface area to improve the photoactivity response. The structural characterization indicated Nb2O5 nanofibers with orthorhombic phase formation. The photoluminescence measurements showed different energy levels contributing to the electronic transition events. The nanofibers with a bandgap up to 3.6 eV were applied to photocatalysis of dyes (rhodamine B (RhB) or methylene blue (MB)) and fluoxetine (FLX), listed as an emergent pollutant. In the optimized condition (pH = 9), the RhB and MB photocatalysis was 59% and 93% more efficient than photolysis due to ζ = - 50 mV ± 5 for EtOH_550 sample increased interaction with MB (cationic) compared to RhB unprotonated (pKa = 3.7). Therefore, FLX (pKa = 10.7) was selected due to protonated form at pH = 9 and showed 68% ± 1 adsorption in 30 min for EtOH_550. The FLX photocatalytic degradation under UV light irradiation was up to 17% higher than the photolytic degradation. The formation of hydroxyl radicals in the photocatalytic system (EtOH_550) was proven by the Coumarine probe assay, corroborating with the greater amount of α-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]benzylalcohol (MAEB), a by-product obtained after FLX oxidation. Additionally, the material achieved specific catalytic activity for the different organic compounds (RhB, MB, or FLX). Therefore, Nb2O5 nanofibers were efficient for degrading three different pollutants under UV light, proving a viable alternative for environmental remediation.

Abstract
This work was carried out to devise a feasible alternative to remove cationic dyes from industrial wastewater. A nanomixture of (TiO2-SnO2-Al2O3) cooperating with Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorods was synthesized in this regard as a catalyst to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) dye from aqueous medium. The physicochemical properties of the hydrothermally prepared Hydroxyapatite Nano Mixture (HNM) were revealed through XRD, FESEM, TEM, XPS, FTIR, BET-BHJ, UV-Vis, and Raman spectroscopy techniques. The synthesized material which was found to be nanorods of average crystallite size 12.53 nm and BET Specific Surface area 60.81 m2 g-1 proved to be very effective for the removal of RhB at various pH conditions (acid, basic, and neutral). Maximum removal of 97% was achieved within 30 min of UV irradiation using 5 ppm RhB in acidic medium while at a higher concentration (20 ppm), it takes just 90 min to achieve 98% degradation of RhB under the same reaction conditions. A further catalytic potential of the prepared nanomixture for hydrogen (H2) evolution via water splitting was explored where 129.45 μmol g-1 of H2 was evolved within 60 min. Our findings suggest that the prepared nanomixture could be used as an efficient catalyst for removing spent dyes used in industrial processes and also as a catalyst for hydrogen gas production.

Highly efficient In-Mo(O,S) 2 oxy-sulfide for degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation: An example of photocatalyst on its dye selectivity. CHEMOSPHERE 2020; 254:126823.

Abstract
Environmentally toxic organic pollutants, namely methylene blue (MB), neutral red (NR), Rhodamine B (RhB), and methyl orange (MO) dyes contain highly toxic, carcinogenic, non-biodegradable, and colored pigments which cause harm for humans and aquatic organisms even at low concentrations. To detoxify these toxic organic pollutants from the wastewater, the bimetallic solid solution-typed In-Mo(O,S)2 catalyst with various indium (In) contents were synthesized at low temperature through a simple precipitation method. The morphological, structural, chemical compositions, electrochemical and optical properties of the catalysts were thoroughly characterized. The photodegradation performance of the In-Mo(O,S)2 catalysts over the cationic, anionic and neutral dyes were studied under visible light irradiation. It has been observed that the photocatalytic activity was enhanced as In was added to the Mo(O,S)2 catalyst, and In-Mo(O,S)2-20 was found to be the best composition to completely degrade four organic dyes. The dye degradation had rate constant values of 9.5 × 10-2 min-1, 6.3 × 10-2 min-1, 4.4 × 10-2 min-1, and 15.7 × 10-1 min-1 for MB (20 ppm), NR (20 ppm), RhB (10 ppm), and MO (10 ppm) dyes, respectively. The active species for degradation of MB is different from those for RhB and MO. Single phase In-Mo(O,S)2-20 capable to degrade four kinds of dyes at a fast rate is a good photocatalyst.

Abstract
Effective visible-light-driven Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 Z-scheme magnetic composites were successfully fabricated by a simple ion-exchange deposition method. The Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (degradation efficiency was ∼96% within 15 min and kinetic constant reached 0.1956 min-1) and stability when compared to Ag3PO4, NiFe2O4, and Ag3PO4/NiFe2O4 for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Furthermore, by electrochemical and fluorescence measurements, the Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) material also showed larger transient photocurrent, lower impedance, and longer fluorescence lifetime (7.82 ns). Comparing the activity result dependence with characterization results, it was indicated that photocatalytic activity depended on fast charge transfer from Ag3PO4 to NiFe2O4 through GO sheet. The h+ and ·O2 - species played important roles in RhB degradation under visible-light. A possible Z-scheme mechanism is proposed over the Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) composite. This study might provide a promising visible light responsive photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in wastewater.

Abstract
Developing efficient technologies to treat recalcitrant organic dye wastewater has long been of great research and practical interest. In this study, a small molecule, formic acid (FA), was applied as a process enhancer for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) dye as a model recalcitrant organic pollutant in aqueous solutions under the condition of UV-Vis light irradiation and air aeration at the ambient temperature of 25 °C. It was found that the decolouration of the dye solutions can be rapidly achieved, reducing the time, for example, from around 17.6 h without FA to mostly about less than 2 h with the presence of FA. The mineralization rate of MO dye reached as high as 81.8% in 1.5 h in the case of initial MO dye concentration at 25 mg L(-1), which is in contrast to nearly no mineralization of the MO dye for a similar system without the FA added. The study revealed that the generation of the H2O2 species in the system was enhanced and the produced OH radicals effectively contributed to the degradation of the MO dye. Process parameters such as the initial concentration of MO dye, FA dosage and solution pH were all found to have some effect on the degradation efficiency under the same condition of UV-Vis light irradiation and air aeration. The MO dye degradation performance was found to follow a first-order reaction rate to the MO dye concentration in most cases and there existed a positive correlation between the reaction rate constant and the initial FA concentration. Compared to the traditional H2O2/UV-Vis oxidation system, the use of FA as a process-enhancing agent can have the advantages of low cost, easy availability, and safe to use. The study hence demonstrates a promising approach to use a readily available small molecule of FA to enhance the degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants, such as MO dye, especially for their pre-treatment.

Abstract
A facile, environmental-friendly Ag3PO4-PN photocatalyst was synthesized by a simple precipitation method at room temperature in the presence of ammonia and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP). As-synthesized samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS). The enhancement of photocatalytic efficiency of Ag3PO4-PN is strongly dependent on the excellent photo-absorption capacity, sharp edges and corners, and synergistic effect of PVP and NH3·H2O. The effects of catalyst dosage, TC concentration and solution pH were explored with tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) as target contamination. The mineralization was evaluated by total organic carbon (TOC) analysis and determination of the concentration of inorganic ions such as NO3 (-) and Cl(-). Radical detection experiment indicated the h(+) and ·O(2-) are major active species in the degradation of TC by Ag3PO4-PN. Moreover, photocatalyst stability and regeneration experiments exhibited the favorable stability and rejuvenation ability, suggesting a promising prospect of practical application of Ag3PO4 in the wastewater treatment.

Abstract
It is still a big challenge for Ag3PO4 to be applied in practice mainly because of its low stability resistant to photo corrosion, although it is an efficient photocatalyst. Herein, we have mainly investigated its activity and stability under indoor weak light for the degradation of dye pollutants. It is amazing that under indoor weak light irradiation, rhodamine B (RhB) can be completely degraded by Ag3PO4 polypods after 36 h, but only 18% of RhB by N-doped TiO2 after 120 h. It is found that under indoor weak light irradiation, the degradation rate (0.08099 h(-1)) of RhB over Ag3PO4 polypods are 46 times higher than that (0.00173 h(-1)) of N-doped TiO2. The high activity of Ag3PO4 polypods are mainly attributed to the three-dimensional branched nanostructure and high-energy {110} facets exposed. After three cycles, surprisingly, Ag3PO4 polypods show a high stability under indoor weak light irradiation, whereas Ag3PO4 have been decomposed into Ag under visible light irradiation with an artificial Xe light source. This natural weak light irradiation strategy could be a promising method for the other unstable photocatalysts in the degradation of environmental pollutants.

Abstract
How to develop a new, efficient photo catalyst is still a big challenge to us. A suitable band gap is the key for light absorption of semiconductor. Herein, an innovative anion intercalation strategy is, for the first time, developed to regulate the energy band of semiconductor. Typically, we introduce a layered sulfate compound (Bi2O(OH)2SO4) as a new photo catalyst, which has not been known before. Both partial density of states (PDOS) and total density of states (TDOS) have demonstrated that compared with Bi2O3 (2.85 eV), the band gap of Bi2O(OH)2SO4 has been widened to 4.18 eV by the intercalation of sulfate anion. Moreover, the band gap width of oxyacid salt compound is mainly predominated by the number of the outmost electrons (NOE) of central atom of anion. This study suggests that new photo catalysts can be developed by grouping anions with the existing oxides or sulfides.
