Hassanzadeh S, Farhadi S, Moradifard F. Synthesis of magnetic graphene-like carbon nitride-cobalt ferrite (g-C 3N 4/CoFe 2O 4) nanocomposite for sonocatalytic remediation of toxic organic dyes. RSC Adv 2023; 13:10940-10955. [PMID: 37033431 PMCID: PMC10077340 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra00057e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023] Open
Abstract
A novel magnetic g-C3N4/CoFe2O4 nanocomposite was successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method and applied as a new graphene-like carbon nitride-based sonocatalyst for sonodegradation of pollutant dyes. The as-prepared samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), BET surface area measurements and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results indicate that the nanocomposite sample is composed of spherical CoFe2O4 nanoparticles adhered to g-C3N4 naosheets. The g-C3N4/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites were used as a new magnetically separable sonocatalyst in H2O2-assisted sonodegradation of methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) dyes in aqueous media. The results showed complete degradation (ca. 100%) of dyes within short times (30-35 min). The sonocatalytic activity of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was greatly enhanced with CoFe2O4 modification. Trapping experiments indicated that the g-C3N4/CoFe2O4 nanocomposites serves as a generator of hydroxyl radical (˙OH) via activation of H2O2 for degradation of dyes under ultrasound irradiation. Furthermore, the magnetic sonocatalyst can be separated from solution by an external magnet and reused several times without observable loss of activity. The possible mechanism of sonocatalytic activity was also proposed according to experimental results.

Construct interesting CuS/TiO 2 architectures for effective removal of Cr(VI) in simulated wastewater via the strong synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic process.

Abstract
Most of the reduction processes for Cr (VI) removal tend to be available only at the acidic condition and the capable extent of pH is limited. Here, we developed a facile strategy for constructing CuS/TiO2 architectures via a facile precipitation process. The as-prepared urchin-like CuS microspheres possessed hierarchical/large porous structure and unique electrical structure, which provided a strong ability to capture the Cr(VI) ions in water. Once CuS microspheres were combined with TiO2 crystals (P25), a surprised high removal efficiency for Cr(VI) was obtained. With optimal molar ratio of CuS:TiO2 (0.72:1), 4.4 and 1.3 times in Cr(VI) removal rate were obtained with respect to pure TiO2 and CuS. The high removal efficiency was induced by the distinct synergistic role of strong adsorption and photocatalytic reduction originated from unique electrical structure in CuS/TiO2 hetero-structure. Moreover, these novel CuS/TiO2 architectures possess promising application for Cr6+ effluents remediation in a wide range of pH and with co-existing anions and cations.

Versatile precursor-dependent copper sulfide nanoparticles as a multifunctional catalyst for the photocatalytic removal of water pollutants and the synthesis of aromatic aldehydes and NH-triazoles. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2021; 3:3954-3966. [PMID: 36133004 PMCID: PMC9417814 DOI: 10.1039/d1na00239b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
A series of copper sulfide (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized just by varying the amount of the sulfur precursor and have been explored for the first time as a three-way heterogeneous catalyst in the photocatalytic oxidation of a number of aromatic alcohols, photocatalytic degradation and the reduction of water pollutants, and the facile synthesis of pharmaceutically important moiety 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles. The green and novel protocol was successfully developed for the synthesis of covellite (CuS, Cu2+) and the covellite-villamaninite (CuS-CuS2) (copper in Cu2+, Cu1+) phases of copper sulfide, employing EDTA both as the chelating and capping agent via a simple precipitation method at room temperature using water as the solvent. A blue shift in the absorption spectra and band gap in the range of 2.02-2.07 eV prompted the investigation of the as-synthesized CS nanoparticles as the photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. In the absence of any oxidizing or reducing agent, covellite CuS nanoparticles showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and the reduction of carcinogenic and mutagenic Cr(vi) to non-toxic Cr(iii). Interestingly, the mixed phase of CS (CuS-CuS2), where Cu is present in both +1 and +2 oxidation states, was found to be the most efficient catalyst compared to CuS toward the visible light-mediated selective oxidation of various benzyl alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes. However, in the synthesis of substituted NH-1,2,3-triazoles, single-phase CS nanoparticles (i.e., CuS) provided the best catalytic result. This significant outcome certainly opens up the scope for realizing the present demand of low-cost multifunctional semiconductor nano-materials, which will have a huge impact on the economy and environment when they show more than two potential applications.

Abstract
Inspired by the geological processes, this study develops an innovative low-concentration-ratio H2 reduction method to reduce the stoichiometric Au-CuS nanoparticles to produce completely reduced stoichiometric Cu2S with "invisible" Au achieved for solid solution Au enhancement. A stable Au-Cu1.97S/Cu2S micro/nano-composite is then formed by spontaneous oxidation. From this composite, in combination with biomimetic technology, an omnidirectional photoabsorption and thermoregulated film (Au-Cu1.97S/Cu2S-C-T_FW) is designed and fabricated as a photothermal-assisted and temperature-autoregulated photodetector for broadband and low-angle-dependent photodetection that presents good performance with high responsivity (26.37 mA/W), detectivity (1.25×108 Jones), and good stability at low bias (0.5 V). Solid solution Au exhibits significantly enhanced photodetection (1,000 times). This study offers a new concept for improving the stability and photoelectric properties of copper chalcogenides. Moreover, it opens up a new avenue toward enhancing the performance of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices using solid solution metal atoms and thermal-assisted, anti-overheating temperature autoregulation.

Abstract
Herein, we report cost effective and body compatible CuS nanoparticles (NPs) derived from a single source precursor as photothermal agent for healing deep cancer and photocatalytic remediation of organic carcinogens. These NPs efficiently kill MCF7 cells (both in vivo and in vitro) under NIR irradiation by raising the temperature of tumor cells. Such materials can be used for the treatment of deep cancer as they can produce a heating effect using high wavelength and deeply penetrating NIR radiation. Furthermore, CuS NPs under solar light irradiation efficiently convert p-nitrophenol (PNP), an environmental carcinogen, to p-aminophenol (PAP) of pharmaceutical implication. In a nutshell, CuS can be used for the treatment of deep cancer and for the remediation of carcinogenic pollutants. There seems an intrinsic connection between the two functions of CuS NPs that need to be explored in length.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes and composites have prevailed in the high performance and mobile marketplace during recent years. Polymer-based solid electrolytes possess the benefits of low flammability, excellent flexibility, good thermal stability, as well as higher safety. Several researchers have paid attention to the optical properties of polymer electrolytes and their composites. In the present review paper, first, the characteristics, fundamentals, advantages and principles of various types of polymer electrolytes were discussed. Afterward, the characteristics and performance of various polymer hosts on the basis of specific essential and newly published works were described. New developments in various approaches to investigate the optical properties of polymer electrolytes were emphasized. The last part of the review devoted to the optical band gap study using two methods: Tauc's model and optical dielectric loss parameter. Based on recently published literature sufficient quantum mechanical backgrounds were provided to support the applicability of the optical dielectric loss parameter for the band gap study. In this review paper, it was demonstrated that both Tauc's model and optical dielectric loss should be studied to specify the type of electron transition and estimate the optical band gap accurately. Other parameters such as absorption coefficient, refractive index and optical dielectric constant were also explored.

CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 237:124547. [PMID: 31549659 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.124547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Novel ZnS-ZnFe2O4 composites were successfully synthesized via a simple and green hydrothermal route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of the synthesized composite proved the presence of both ZnS and ZnFe2O4. The other characteristics of the composites were further characterized in detail using Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The performance of ZnS-ZnFe2O4 in the presence of persulfate (PS, K2S2O8) as a co-catalyst was tested for degrading rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light illumination. ZnS-ZnFe2O4 composites could remove about 97.67% of RhB in 90 min, which was much higher removal than either ZnS or ZnFe2O4 alone. Moreover, the recovery of catalyst and its recycling performance were found to be good after testing three times. A feasible mechanism analysis of RhB degradation was validated by simple classical quenching experiments. The enhanced performance was attributed to the high-efficiency separation rate of photo induced electron-hole pairs and highly active free radicals of O2-, OH and SO4-.

Abstract
A novel magnetic cadmium titanate-copper ferrite (CdTiO3/CuFe2O4) nanocomposite, in which spherical CuFe2O4 nanoparticles were loaded onto the surface of CdTiO3 nanoplates, was successfully synthesized via a sol-gel hydrothermal route at 180 °C. The structure, morphology, magnetic and optical properties of the as-prepared nanocomposite were respectively characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of this novel CdTiO3-based magnetic nanocomposite was investigated for the degradation of organic dye pollutants such as methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), and methyl orange (MO) in the presence of H2O2 under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the photocatalyst completely degraded three dyes within 90-100 min. Compared with pure CdTiO3 and CuFe2O4, the heterogeneous CdTiO3/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. On the basis of the results of the OH trapping and photoluminescence (PL) experiments, the enhanced photocatalytic performance was mainly ascribed to the efficient separation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs and the formation of highly active hydroxyl radicals (OH) species in the CdTiO3/CuFe2O4 photocatalytic oxidation system. The PL measurements of the CdTiO3/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite also indicated an enhanced separation of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the nanocomposite could be easily separated and recycled from contaminant solution using a magnet without a decrease in their photocatalytic activity due to their good magnetic separation performance and excellent chemical stability. Based on these findings, CdTiO3/CuFe2O4 nanocomposite could be a promising visible-light-driven magnetic photocatalyst for converting solar energy to chemical energy for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Ag-loaded Cu0.25Zn0.75S (Ag/Cu0.25Zn0.75S) photocatalysts were synthesized for the photodegradation of organic pollutants such as rhodamine B (RhB), methyl violet (MV) and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) under visible-light irradiation. Metallic Ag facilitated the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of Cu0.25Zn0.75S nanodisks, and a Ag loading content of 11% exhibited great degradation efficiency for the degradation of RhB with the assistance of H2O2 under acidic conditions. This sample presented slight deactivation for the visible-light-driven degradation of RhB after five cycles. In addition, the excellent photocatalytic activity of Ag/Cu0.25Zn0.75S was obtained for the removal of MV and CIP. ·O2 - is mainly responsible for the efficient activity of the photocatalytic process.

Abstract
In this study, an efficient method to synthesize CuO-CuS core-shell nanowires by two-step annealing process was reported. CuO nanowires were prepared on copper foil via thermal oxidation in a three-zone horizontal tube furnace. To obtain larger surface area for photocatalytic applications, we varied four processing parameters, finding that growth at 550 °C for 3 h with 16 °C/min of the ramping rate under air condition led to CuO nanowires of appropriate aspect ratio and number density. The second step, sulfurization process, was conducted to synthesize CuO-CuS core-shell nanowires by annealing with sulfur powder at 250 °C for 30 min under lower pressure. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy studies show that a 10 nm thick CuS shell formed and the growth mechanism of the nanowire heterostructure has been proposed. With BET, the surface area was measured to be 135.24 m2·g−1. The photocatalytic properties were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. As we compared CuO-CuS core-shell nanowires with CuO nanowires, the 4-hour degradation rate was enhanced from 67% to 89%. This could be attributed to more effective separation of photoinduced electron and hole pairs in the CuO-CuS heterostructure. The results demonstrated CuO-CuS core-shell nanowires as a promising photocatalyst for dye degradation in polluted water.

Abstract
The nano-sized copper sulfides (CuS) with different morphologies were prepared by hydrothermal method without any surfactant or template. The morphology and structure of CuS were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectroscopy. FESEM results show that four morphologies of CuS (flower-like nanospheres, cross-linked nanodisks, cross-linked nanoplates and nanosheets) were prepared simply by changing the hydrothermal solvent. According to the XPS, XRD and HRTEM results the synthesized nano-sized structures are highly crystallized pure hexagonal covellite CuS. UV-vis spectra results show intense absorption peaks in the visible region, confirming that the resultant CuS has potential application in the field of solar cells. The catalytic activities of resultant CuS on model pollutant methylene blue (MB) in the dark were also investigated in detail. The small and flat crystallites show rapid degradation rate on MB, which is attributed to the numerous active sites on their large specific surface area. The as-synthesized CuS nanosheets took the shortest time (only 15 min) to degrade MB completely compared with the other nanostructural CuS in this work as well as previously reported ones. Total organic carbon removal of the samples approved mineralization of the MB pollutant. Thus, CuS is an excellent catalyst for degrading organic pollutants, which does not require light energy for its catalytic activities.

Abstract
The synergism of CuS and tartaric acid (TA) in the reduction of Cr(VI) with an irradiation of simulated solar light was investigated through observing the effects of solution pH, temperature, CuS loading and TA concentration on the removal efficiency of Cr(VI). Approximately 32% and 54% of the initial Cr(VI) (100 µmol/L) were reduced within 180 min by TA and CuS with light, respectively. Under the same condition, however, almost a complete removal of the initial Cr(VI) was achieved within 130 min in the coexistence of CuS and TA. In the case, it is considered that Cr(VI) was rapidly reduced in two main pathways. One is that H2S produced from the dissolution of CuS in weak acidic solution directly reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The other is that Cu(II) released from CuS reacted with TA to form complexes with photochemical activity, producing Cu(I) through ligand-to-metal electron transfer, and then the reduction of Cr(VI) was coupled with a conversion of Cu(I) to Cu(II). Thus, a cycle catalytic system was established for the reduction of Cr(VI). Moreover, it is observed that the reaction could be divided into two stages: the initial chemical reduction of Cr(VI) by H2S and the later photochemical reduction of Cr(VI) by Cu(II)-TA complexes.

Abstract
: In this work the influence of carbon nano-dots (CNDs) on absorption of ultra violet (UV) spectra in hybrid PVA based composites was studied. The FTIR results reveal the complex formation between PVA and CNDs. The shifting was observed in XRD spectrum of PVA:CNDs composites compared to pure PVA. The Debye-Scherrer formula was used to calculate the crystallite size of CNDs and crystalline phases of pure PVA and PVA:CNDs composites. The FESEM images emphasized the presence and dispersion of C-dots on the surface of the composite samples. From the images, a strong and clear absorption was noticed in the spectra. The strong absorption that appeared peaks at 280 nm and 430 nm can be ascribed to the n-π* and π-π* transitions, respectively. The absorption edge shifted to lower photon energy sides with increasing CNDs. The luminescence behavior of PVA:CNDs composite was confirmed using digital and photo luminescence (PL) measurements. The optical dielectric constant which is related to the density of states was studied and the optical band gap was characterized accurately using optical dielectric loss parameter. The Taucs model was used to determine the type of electronic transition in the samples.

“Flowering branch”-like PAN-CuS hierarchical heterostructures were in situ synthesized through a facile hydrothermal sulfuration growth process on PAN-based fibers prepared by electrospinning. The PAN fibers can serve as a stable flexible support, while CuS flowers assembled from nanosheets can act as reactive materials, showing high performance in the degradation of dyes. Moreover, these heterostructures can be recovered easily without a decrease in their photocatalytic activity, thus showing favorable recycling capability. “Flowering branch”-like PAN-CuS hierarchical heterostructures were in situ synthesized through a facile hydrothermal sulfuration growth process on PAN-based fibers prepared by electrospinning.![]()

Abstract
The selective adsorption by suitable substrate materials is considered one of the most economical methods. In this work, an all-inorganic bimetallic Mo-Fe-S cluster is facilely achieved through in situ chemical fixation of tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) on Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) at room temperature (donated as FeMoS NPs). The bimetallic building blocks on the obtained FeMoS NPs possess a monovacancy species of sulfur, endowing FeMoS NPs with a selectivity order of Zn2+, Mn2+, Ni2+ < Cd2+ ≪ Cu2+ < Pb2+ for metal-ion adsorption, a novel application for the Mo-Fe-S clusters. Particularly, with the highest selectivity for Pb2+ (Kd ≈ 107), which is about 3 × 103-1 × 106 times higher than those for other ions and has exceeded that of a series of outstanding sorbents reported for Pb2+, FeMoS NPs can efficiently reduce the concentration of Pb2+ from ∼10 ppm to an extremely low level of ∼1 ppb. This facile and rational fabrication of the Mo-Fe-S cluster with Fe3O4 represents a feasible approach to cheaply develop novel and efficient materials for the selective removal of lead(II).

Abstract
CdS decorated CuS structures have been controllably synthesized through a one-pot hydrothermal method. The morphologies and compositions of the as-prepared samples could be concurrently well controlled by simply tuning the amount of CdCl2 and thiourea. Using this strategy, the morphology of the products experienced from messy to flower-like morphologies with multiple porous densities, together with the phase evolution from pure CuS to the CdS/CuS composites. Serving as a photocatalyst, the samples synthesized with the addition of 1 mmol cadmium chloride and 3 mmol thiourea during synthetic process, showed the best photocatalytic activity, which could reach a maximum photocatalytic efficiency of 93% for methyl orange (MO) photodegradation after 150 min. The possible mechanism for the high photocatalytic efficiency of the sample was proposed by investigating the composition, surface area, structure, and morphology before and after photocatalytic reaction.

Abstract
This review captures the synthesis, assembly, properties, and applications of copper chalcogenide NCs, which have achieved significant research interest in the last decade due to their compositional and structural versatility. The outstanding functional properties of these materials stems from the relationship between their band structure and defect concentration, including charge carrier concentration and electronic conductivity character, which consequently affects their optoelectronic, optical, and plasmonic properties. This, combined with several metastable crystal phases and stoichiometries and the low energy of formation of defects, makes the reproducible synthesis of these materials, with tunable parameters, remarkable. Further to this, the review captures the progress of the hierarchical assembly of these NCs, which bridges the link between their discrete and collective properties. Their ubiquitous application set has cross-cut energy conversion (photovoltaics, photocatalysis, thermoelectrics), energy storage (lithium-ion batteries, hydrogen generation), emissive materials (plasmonics, LEDs, biolabelling), sensors (electrochemical, biochemical), biomedical devices (magnetic resonance imaging, X-ray computer tomography), and medical therapies (photochemothermal therapies, immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and drug delivery). The confluence of advances in the synthesis, assembly, and application of these NCs in the past decade has the potential to significantly impact society, both economically and environmentally.

Abstract
A novel folic acid conjugated core-shell hybrid iron oxide-zinc oxide nanoparticle was developed for applications as a photosensitier (PS) in photodynamic therapy. Photodegradation studies on methylene blue demonstrated significantly enhanced photophysical properties of the produced nano-PSs, due to the charge recombination via electron trapping by dissolved Fe3+. A time and dose dependant toxicity associated with the nano-PSs was observed upon exposure to human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells in the dark. UV irradiation of the synthesised nano-PSs resulted in a significant photo-killing effect with drastic reduction in Caco-2 cell viability to as low as 6%. Reduction in viability upon exposure was due fundamentally to cellular interactions with light irradiated PSs as the influence of radiation alone was subtracted. FA conjugation further enhanced the photo-killing effect.

Abstract
High piezo-photocatalytic efficiency of degrading organic pollutants has been realized from CuS/ZnO nanowires using both solar and mechanical energy. CuS/ZnO heterostructured nanowire arrays are compactly/vertically aligned on stainless steel mesh by a simple two-step wet-chemical method. The mesh-supported nanocomposites can facilitate an efficient light harvesting due to the large surface area and can also be easily removed from the treated solution. Under both solar and ultrasonic irradiation, CuS/ZnO nanowires can rapidly degrade methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution, and the recyclability is investigated. In this process, the ultrasonic assistance can greatly enhance the photocatalytic activity. Such a performance can be attributed to the coupling of the built-in electric field of heterostructures and the piezoelectric field of ZnO nanowires. The built-in electric field of the heterostructure can effectively separate the photogenerated electrons/holes and facilitate the carrier transportation. The CuS component can improve the visible light utilization. The piezoelectric field created by ZnO nanowires can further separate the photogenerated electrons/holes through driving them to migrate along opposite directions. The present results demonstrate a new water-pollution solution in green technologies for the environmental remediation at the industrial level.
