Abstract
Photocatalytic wastewater purification is essential for environmental remediation, but rapid carrier recombination and limited oxidative capacity hinder progress. This study proposes an innovative strategy by integrating homogeneous and heterogeneous electron acceptors into a g-C3N4-based photocatalytic system, significantly enhancing the multipath utilization of photogenerated electrons. A novel Fe3O4@P-C3N4 was developed to activate an advanced peroxymonosulfate-assisted photocatalysis (PAP) system, achieving complete degradation and significant mineralization of tetracycline (TC) in real water environments, outperforming others reported in the last five years. Phytic acid, as a key precursor, modifies the hollow tubular morphology and introduces phosphorus (P) heteroatoms as electronic trapping centers, enhancing the visible light response and carrier separation, thereby promoting the Fe2+/Fe3+ cycle and the formation of reactive species. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations pinpointed TC's vulnerable sites and synergically identified reactive species, revealing almost non-toxic degradation processes. Moreover, the recyclable magnetic Fe3O4@P-C3N4/PAP system demonstrates practical application potential and leaching stability in cyclic and continuous testing. This study offers unique insights into the strategic design of photocatalysts and catalytic environments, potentially advancing practical wastewater remediation.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 678:186-200. [PMID: 39186898 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.155] [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: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 08/18/2024] [Accepted: 08/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) based on heterogeneous catalytic reaction was a promising advanced oxidation process (AOP) to remove refractory contaminants. However, the contaminant degradation efficiency was challenged by the limited number of catalytic active site and low capacity for durable electron transfer. In this study, cobalt-doped manganese-iron oxides (CoxMn1-xFe2O4) rich in oxygen vacancy (Ov) were synthesized using a microwaved hydrothermal method and applied to activate PMS for bisphenol A (BPA) degradation, which achieved the complete removal of BPA within 30 min. In all samples, Co0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4 exhibited good catalytic activity for PMS, which was approximately 21.10 times higher than that of MnFe2O4. The results of density functional theory calculations and in-situ characterization demonstrated that the enhanced performance was ascribed to the generation of Ov and the enrichment of active site, which significantly accelerated the cycling of redox pairs and improved the PMS adsorption, which was more favorable to the formation of active specie in the electron transport process. The oxidation process involved both free radical and non-radical mechanisms, with main reactive species of O2-, and 1O2 being responsible for BPA degradation. In addition, the effects of different aqueous matrices, the results of reusability experiments, and ecotoxicity assessment experiments demonstrated the viability of the Co0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4/PMS system for real sewage purification. This research revealed a structural regulation method to enhance the catalytic activity of the material and offered new perspectives on the engineering of rich Ov.

Abstract
Pollutant treatment, hazardous solid waste conversion, and biomass resource utilization are significant topics in environmental pollution control, and simultaneously achieving them is challenging. Herein, we developed a "from waste absorbent to effective photocatalyst" upcycle strategy for nontoxic conversion of Cd(II) adsorbed on thiolation@wood-aerogel (TWA) into CdS/g-C3N4 heterojunctions through the in situ chemical deposition high-temperature carbonization combined conversion method to overcome the above problems simultaneously. We used Schiff base reaction to graft l-cysteine into dialdehyde@wood-aerogel to prepare TWA with a high Cd(II) adsorption capacity (600 mg/L, 294.66 mg/g). Subsequently, the spent Cd(II)-loaded-TWA was used as a substrate for in situ construction of Cd(II) into CdS/g-C3N4 heterojunction for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under simulated sunlight [simulated solar light (SSL)], achieving efficient tetracycline (TC) degradation (20 mg/L, 95.32%). The Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models indicate single-layer chemical adsorption of Cd(II) on the TWA adsorption process. In the PMS/SSL system, CdS/g-C3N4@TWA efficiently and rapidly degraded TC via an adsorption-photocatalytic synergistic degradation mechanism. The used CdS/g-C3N4@TWA has a good biocompatibility. This study proposed design and preparation of a new type of wood aerogel absorbent and provided a novel upcycling strategy for innovative use of the spent waste adsorbent.

Abstract
Non-free radical photocatalysis with metal oxide catalysts is an important advanced oxidation process that enables the removal of various emerging environmental pollutants, such as tetracycline. Here, four hexagonal La2O3 photocatalysts with different densities of oxygen vacancy and crystalline features are synthesized and then further treated by ball milling. Ball milling of these La2O3 photocatalysts is found to increase the amount of oxygen vacancies on their surfaces and thereby the amount of 1O2 species produced by them. The photocatalytic degradation of TC by these La2O3 photocatalysts depends on the oxygen vacancies present on them. Furthermore, the ones with a strong (101) diffraction peak remove tetracycline from water systems largely with 1O2 and •OH species, whereas those with a weak (101) diffraction peak do so mainly via 1O2 and direct electron transfer (DET) process. Their overall catalytic properties are also studied by density functional theory calculations. Moreover, the organic products produced from tetracycline by La2O3 photocatalysts containing a strong (101) diffraction peak are found to be less toxic than those produced by La2O3 photocatalysts containing a weak (101) diffraction peak. This study also provides convincing evidence that the structures of La2O3 determine the species that is produced by it and that end up mediating photocatalytic reaction pathways (i.e., free radical versus non-free radical) to degrade an emerging environment pollutant.

Abstract
In this study, a split-type photocatalytic membrane reactor (PMR), incorporating suspended graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as photocatalyst and a layered polymeric composite (using polyamide, polyethersulfone and polysulfone polymers) as a membrane was fabricated to remove tetracycline (TC) from aqueous solutions as the world's second most used and discharged antibiotic in wastewater. The photocatalyst was synthesised from melamine by ultrasonic-assisted thermal polymerisation method and, along with the membrane, was characterised using various methods, including Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The PMR process was optimised, using Design-Expert software for tetracycline removal in terms of UV irradiation time, pH, photocatalyst loading, tetracycline concentration, and membrane separation iteration. It was revealed that a membrane-integrated reactor as a sustainable system could effectively produce clean water by simultaneous removal of tetracycline and photocatalyst from aqueous solution. The maximum removal of 94.8% was obtained at the tetracycline concentration of 22.16 ppm, pH of 9.78 with 0.56 g/L of photocatalyst in the irradiation time of 113.77 min after six times of passing membrane. The PMR system showed reasonable reusability by about a 25.8% drop in TC removal efficiency after seven cycles at optimal conditions. The outcomes demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed PMR system in tetracycline removal from water and suggest that it can be scaled as an effective approach for a sustainable supply of antibiotic-free clean water.

Abstract
In this work, the heterojunctions of CuInS2 embedded in the g-C3N4 materials (xCuInS2/g-C3N4, abbreviated as xCIS/GCN) was successfully prepared for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation under visible light. The catalysts are characterized by different techniques, such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, TEM, and UV-vis. The unique heterojunction composites can suppress the recombination of photogenerated pairs. The catalytic results showed that the 3CIS/GCN exhibited excellent catalytic levofloxacin (LVF) degradation efficiency, while more than 98.9% of LVF was removed in 60 min over a wide pH range. SO4•-, O2•-, OH•, and 1O2 were verified as the main reactive species for LVF degradation via the quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance technology (EPR). The synergetic effect of xCIS/GCN, PMS, and visible light irradiation was discussed. The possible LVF degradation pathway was proposed through byproducts analysis (LC-MS). Moreover, the 3CIS/GCN/vis-PMS system has very low metal leaching. Owing to xCIS/GCN having good properties for PMS activation, it has potential applications for LVF or other hazardous pollutants degradation.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis coupled with peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is considered as an advanced water purification technology for emerging contaminates degradation. In this study, Cobalt (Co) doped nitrogen-vacancies-rich C3N5 photocatalysts (Co/Nv-C3N5) were designed to activate PMS for tetracycline removal. The photo-chemical oxidation system displayed superior advantage, in which the observed rate constant of tetracycline degradation (0.1488 min-1) was 10.86 and 1.82 times higher than that of photo-oxidation and chemical-oxidation systems. Density functional theory calculation results verified the reconstruction of local charge distribution during PMS activation, indicating Co doping and nitrogen-vacancy engineering not only promoted photoelectrons capture, but also boosted electron transfer from the C-N framework to PMS and the generation of active species. Furthermore, several unique multiple electron transfer mechanisms were found in nonradicals (h+, 1O2 and Co(IV)) pathways. Additionally, three possible tetracycline degradation pathways were proposed and the toxicity of the intermediates was evaluated. Overall, the findings from this study provided a novel strategy for developing high-efficient photocatalyst for the rapid degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
In this study, oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), named O-g-C3N4, was successfully fabricated and characterized, and its performance in activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS, HSO5-) for the removal of phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP), bisphenol A (BPA), rhodamine B (RhB), reactive brilliant blue (RBB) and acid orange 7 (AO7) was evaluated. The catalytic performance of O-g-C3N4 for AO7 removal increased by 14 times compared to g-C3N4. In the presence of 0.2 g L-1 O-g-C3N4, 3.5 mM PMS at natural pH 5.8, 96.4% of AO7 could be removed in 60 min, reduced toxicity of the treated AO7 solution was obtained, and the mineralization efficiency was 47.2% within 120 min. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that the charge distribution changed after oxygen doping, and PMS was more readily adsorbed by O-g-C3N4 with the adsorption energy (Eads) of -0.855 kcal/mol than that of the pristine g-C3N4 (Eads: -0.305 kcal/mol). Mechanism investigation implied that AO7 was primarily removed by the sulfate radicals (SO4•-) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) on the surface of O-g-C3N4, but the role of singlet oxygen (1O2) to AO7 elimination was negligible. The results of cyclic experiments and catalyst characterization after reaction confirmed the favorable catalytic activity and structural stability of O-g-C3N4 particles. Furthermore, the O-g-C3N4/PMS system was very resistant to most of the environmental impacts, and AO7 removal was still acceptable in natural water environment. This study may provide an efficient metal-free carbonaceous activator with low dosage for PMS activation to remove recalcitrant organic pollutants (ROPs).

Abstract
N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) derived from the Rumex crispus L. plant were incorporated into TiO2 via a facile hydrothermal method. As-prepared materials were characterized and used in the photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) degradation under UVA light irradiation by examining several operational parameters involving the N-CQDs amount, initial TC concentration, pH, and photocatalytic reaction time. XRD analysis revealed the conversion of the rutile phase to the anatase phase after the incorporation of N-CQDs into the TiO2 structure. The results revealed that the N-CQDs/TiO2 photocatalysts demonstrated the highest efficiency in TC degradation compared to other processes of adsorption, photolysis (UVA), and photocatalysis with TiO2 (TiO2/UVA). Under optimized conditions, 10 mg/L TC at pH 5.15 with 0.2 g/L N-CQDs/TiO2 catalyst showed 97.7% photocatalytic degradation for 120 min under UVA irradiation. The formation of an S-scheme heterojunction between N-CQDs and TiO2 provided enhanced charge separation and strong redox capability, causing significant improvement in the photocatalytic performance of N-CQDs/TiO2. Trapping experiments showed that O2•- and h+ are the predominant reactive species for the TC elimination in an aqueous solution.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 330:117168. [PMID: 36603258 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.117168] [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: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 12/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
A novel particle combined electrode named TiO2/g-C3N4@AC (TGCN-AC) was prepared by loading TiO2 and g-C3N4 on activated carbon through gel method, which was used to degrade levofloxacin (LEF) in pharmaceutical wastewater by photoelectric process. The remarkable physicochemical features of particle electrodes were verified by using diverse characterization techniques including SEM-EDS, XRD, FT-IR, BET and pHZPC. EIS-CV and photocurrent showed excellent electrocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis performance of particle electrodes. The photocatalytic characteristics and fluorescence properties of the particle electrode were proved by UV-vis DRS and PL spectra measurements. Combined with Tauc's plot and Mott-Schottky plots curves, the ECB and EVB of particle electrodes were determined. The experiments on different influence factors such as pH, ultrasonic, aeration, current density and the concentration of LEF were carried out in the photoelectric reactor. Under the conditions of pH values 3.0, 200 W ultrasonic, 8 L/min aeration, the mass ratio of g-C3N4 and TiO2 is 8%, after 4.0 h of photoelectric process, about 94.76% of LEF (20 mg/L) in water was degraded. TGCN-AC also has excellent reusability. The degradation rate of LEF can still reach 71.17% after repeated use for 6 times. Scavenger studies showed that h+ and O2- were the main active species. By observing the colony size of E. coli, it was proved that the LEF in the effluent had no antibacterial activity. The degradation pathways of LEF was analyzed and drawn by HPLC-MS spectra.

Abstract
The fabrication of novel and efficient transition metal-based catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is of great significance for environmental remediation. Concerning energy consumption, the Co3O4@N-doped carbon (Co3O4@NC-350) was constructed via a half-pyrolysis strategy. The relatively low calcination temperature (350 °C) caused Co3O4@NC-350 to exhibit ultra-small Co3O4 nanoparticles, rich functional groups, uniform morphology, and a large surface area. For PMS activation, Co3O4@NC-350 could degrade 97% of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in 5 min with a high k value of 0.73364 min-1, which was superior to the ZIF-9 precursor and other derived materials. Besides, Co3O4@NC-350 could be re-used over 5 times without obvious performance and structure change. The investigation of the influencing factors containing co-existing ions and organic matter demonstrated the Co3O4@NC-350/PMS system has satisfactory resistance. The quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests showed ˙OH, SO4˙-, ˙O2 - and 1O2 participated in the degradation process. Moreover, the structure and toxicity of intermediates during the SMX decomposing process have been evaluated. Overall, this research provides new prospects for exploring efficient and recycled MOF-based catalysts for PMS activation.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient catalysts for peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is an important issue in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) technology. In this work, cobalt and nitrogen-doped ultrathin oxygen-rich carbon nanosheets derived from 2D metal-organic framework (MOF) were successfully fabricated. The as-prepared catalyst can effectively degrade tetracycline (TC) with a high reaction constant (0.088 min-1). Quenching test, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technology, and the electrochemical test indicate that the radical pathway plays a minor role in the degradation process, the 1O2 based nonradical pathway dominates the reaction. Experimental and density functional theory (DFT) studies revealed that the Co-N sites on the carbon structure serve as the dominant active sites, and the oxygen functional groups in close vicinity to Co-N sites can dramatically influence local electronic structure and its interaction with PMS molecule, a high correlation between the reaction constant and hydroxy groups content could be due to the Co-N sites close to hydroxyl groups has a moderate PMS adsorption energy. This work provides new insight into the design of highly efficient Fenton-like catalysts.

Abstract
Understanding the fundamental relationship between the structural information of electrocatalysts and their catalytic activities plays a key role in controlling many important electrochemical processes. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) with the so-called MN4 structure, consisting of a central transition metal quadruply bound to four pyridine nitrogen atoms all situated in an extended carbon-based matrix, have attracted intensive scientific attention owing to their exceptional catalytic performance. In this work, we perform the first-principles density functional theory (DFT) calculations to explore the curvature effects of the carbon matrix surfaces on the catalytic activities for two fundamental electrochemical processes, namely, the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Our DFT results suggest that the curved surface structure can weaken the interaction between the metal atom and the N-doped carbon matrix, modify the electronic structure of the metal atom, and thus increase the adsorption strength of the reaction intermediates, resulting in enhanced OER and ORR catalytic activities of MN4 catalysts. More importantly, a prediction model is developed to evaluate the bifunctional catalytic activities of such catalysts based on their directly obtained parameters including the surface curvature of the catalysts, the number of d electrons of the metal element, and the electronegativity of the metal atom and its coordination atoms in MN4 catalysts. This prediction model not only provides some candidates, for example, FeN4, CoN4 and OsN4 for the ORR; CoN4, NiN4, RuN4, RhN4 and IrN4 for the OER; and CoN4, RuN4, IrN4 and OsN4 for the bifunctional ORR and OER, but also reasonably links the structure of catalysts with their catalytic performance, providing new possibilities for the quick design of high-performance catalysts.

Abstract
MIL-101(Fe)-based catalysts have been widely used for degradation of organic pollutants based on peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. Hence, a facile calcination and hydrothermal method was used in this study to prepare a MIL-101(Fe)/g-C3N4 composite catalyst with high activity and high stability for PMS activation to degrade tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) under visible-light irradiation. We clearly elucidated the mechanism involved in the MIL-101(Fe)/g-C3N4 photo Fenton-catalyzed PMS activation process by separating the PMS activation and pollutant oxidation processes. The synergetic effects of MIL-101(Fe) and g-C3N4 involved MIL-101(Fe) acting as an electron shuttle mediating electron transfer from the organic substrate to PMS, accompanied by redox cycling of the surface Fe(II)/Fe(III). Multiple experimental results indicated that PMS was bound to the surface of MIL-101(Fe)/g-C3N4 during visible irradiation and generation of sulfate radicals (SO4•-), hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide anion free radicals (•O2-) for the radical pathway and singlet oxygen (1O2) and holes (h+) for the nonradical pathway. The major degradation pathways for TC can be described as demethylation, deamination, deamidation and carbonylation. This work provides valuable information and advances the fundamental understanding needed for design and syntheses of metal-free conjugated polymers modified by metal-organic frameworks for heterogeneous photo-Fenton reactions.

Abstract
Owing to the rapid development of modern industry, a greater number of organic pollutants are discharged into the water matrices. In recent decades, research efforts have focused on developing more effective technologies for the remediation of water containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Recently, sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been extensively used due to their high oxidizing potential, and effectiveness compared with other AOPs in PPCPs remediation. The present review provides a comprehensive assessment of the different methods such as heat, ultraviolet (UV) light, photo-generated electrons, ultrasound (US), electrochemical, carbon nanomaterials, homogeneous, and heterogeneous catalysts for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS). In addition, possible activation mechanisms from the point of radical and non-radical pathways are discussed. Then, biodegradability enhancement and toxicity reduction are highlighted. Comparison with other AOPs and treatment of PPCPs by the integrated process are evaluated as well. Lastly, conclusions and future perspectives on this research topic are elaborated.

Abstract
In this study, A- and B-site doped perovskite La0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Ni0.2O3 (LSCN) was prepared by sol-gel method. On this basis, ZrO2 supported LSCN used to maintain high catalytic activity while inhibit the leaching of toxic Co ions. Compared with the non-doped LaCoO3, the ZrO2@La0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Ni0.2O3 (Z@LSCN82)/PMS system could almost completely degrade SMX in 30 min. In addition, the leaching amount of Co ions was only 0.303 mg L-1. Free radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance experiments proved that active species SO4•-, •OH and 1O2 existed in the Z@LSCN82/PMS system, and SO4•- played a major role. Besides, the catalyst had high efficiency for SMX degradation in a wide pH range. In addition, co-existing anions in water such as HPO4- and Cl- also showed slight inhibition of the system. It was indicated that the Z@LSCN82/PMS system had huge potential applications for practical wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, Co3O4/g-C3N4 catalyst with highly efficient adsorption and degradation of antibiotics was developed based on the combination of three-dimensional (3D) porous morphological controls of g-C3N4 and the loading of Co3O4 quantum dots (Co3O4 QDs). It was discovered that the catalyst can effectively activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) through a non-photochemical path, and a high tetracycline elimination rate of 99.7% can be achieved within 18 min. The characterization and density functional theory calculation results demonstrated that the porous 3D structure can not only promote the substrate adsorption reaction but also provide large surface area and countless exposed active sites for catalytic reaction. The introduction of Co3O4 QDs lowered activation energy barrier and lead to high energy of PMS adsorption. More efficient charge migration between the catalyst and PMS further accelerated PMS activation. Thus, leading to the excellent catalytic performance. In addition, non-free radical mediated degradation mechanism of catalytic activity was also proposed. This work provides a scheme for designing novel and efficient PMS activators for the removal of abusive antibiotics from aqueous environments.

Abstract
The combination of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation by hetero-catalysis and electrolysis (EC) attracted incremental concerns as an efficient antibiotics degradation method. In this work, carbon embedding iron (C@Fe) catalysts growing on nickel foam (NF) composite cathode (C@Fe/NF) was prepared via in-situsolvothermal growth and carbonization method and used to activate PMS toward sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The EC-[C@Fe/NF(II)]-PMS system exhibited an excellent PMS activation, with 100% SMX removal efficiency achieving within 30 min. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and their roles in SMX degradation were confirmed by quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance. It was found that singlet oxygen (1O2) and surface-bound radicals were responsible for SMX degradation, and 1O2 contributed the most. Furthermore, the possible SMX degradation pathways were proposed on the base of the detected degradation intermediates and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. Toxicity changes were also assessed by the Ecological Structure Activity Relationships (ESAR). This work provides a practicable strategy for synergistically enhancing PMS activation efficiency and promoting antibiotics removal.
