Yahya NAA, Samir OM, Al-Ariki S, Ahmed AAM, Swillam MA. Synthesis of novel antibacterial nanocomposite CuO/Ag-modified zeolite for removal of MB dye. Sci Rep 2023; 13:14948.

Abstract
Novel CuO/Ag nanocomposites added zeolite (CAZ) were successfully fabricated, and their effectiveness as an antibacterial on S. aureus and MB removal was evaluated. EDX, XRD, and FTIR confirm the presence of the elemental compositions of CAZ. Friable CuO nanorods (10-70 nm in diameter) existed on the surface of the zeolite. Pure zeolite had a higher band gap (5.433 eV) and lower MB removal efficiency than CAZ. The adsorption method by CAZ was more effective at removing MB than photodegradation. 0.10 CAZ had the highest removal effectiveness (~ 99%) and adsorption capacity (~ 70.4 mg g-1) of MB. The inhibitory zone diameter for 0.005 CAZ against S. aureus was 20 mm, while 0.01 CAZ had a diameter of 17 mm. Azithromycin, ceftriaxone, and erythromycin antibiotics demonstrated lower or no efficacy against S. aureus than CAZ. Significant antibacterial activities and wastewater treatment were achieved by CAZ. The combination of photodegradation and adsorption enhanced pollutant removal. It will be interesting to study further the optimal molar ratio for MB removal (0.10 CAZ) in future investigations.

Abstract
The cost-effective, robust, and efficient electrocatalysts for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water-splitting has been extensively studied over the past decade to address a solution for the energy crisis. The interesting physicochemical properties of CuO have introduced this promising photocathodic material among the few photocatalysts with a narrow bandgap. This photocatalyst has a high activity for the PEC hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under simulated sunlight irradiation. Here, the recent advancements of CuO-based photoelectrodes, including undoped CuO, doped CuO, and CuO composites, in the PEC water-splitting field, are comprehensively studied. Moreover, the synthesis methods, characterization, and fundamental factors of each classification are discussed in detail. Apart from the exclusive characteristics of CuO-based photoelectrodes, the PEC properties of CuO/2D materials, as groups of the growing nanocomposites in photocurrent-generating devices, are discussed in separate sections. Regarding the particular attention paid to the CuO heterostructure photocathodes, the PEC water splitting application is reviewed and the properties of each group such as electronic structures, defects, bandgap, and hierarchical structures are critically assessed.

Abstract
In terms of energy acquisition, research on the photocatalytic cracking of water to produce hydrogen has become a hub for us to make a transition from theoretical research to practical applications. Charge separations and surface redox reactions of semiconductors are key factors that affect hydrogen production activity. In this study, we used an n-type semiconductor WP as a cocatalyst to modify the solid solution of ZnxCd1-xS and found it to have excellent photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. Ultraviolet diffuse reflectance spectroscopy showed the red shift of the absorption band of the composite catalyst and the strong absorption of visible light. Under the action of the matching energy band structure, the fluorescence lifetime of the composite catalyst is shortened (2.33 ns) and the electron injection rate is accelerated (Ket = 0.58 × 109 s-1). Under these favorable conditions, the increased hydrogen production activity of the composite catalyst is finally reflected in the enhanced hydrogen production rate, which reached up to 15 028.6 μmol g-1 h-1. In addition, the yield of hydrogen produced by adding a fresh lactic acid catalyst in the fifth cycle after four cycles of testing was greatly improved. Obviously, the addition of WP turns the composite catalyst into a photocatalyst with high efficiency, stability and is a non-noble metal cocatalyst. Finally, through a series of characterization experiments (SEM, TEM, XPS, BET, Mott-Schottky et al.), we proposed the possible mechanism of WP/ZnxCd1-xS that efficiently promotes hydrogen production. This provides new understanding for designing an effective cocatalyst modified semiconductor to improve photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
As photocatalysis technology could transform renewable and clean solar energy into green hydrogen (H2 ) energy through solar water splitting, it is regarded as the "Holy Grail" in chemistry field in the 21st century. Unfortunately, the bottleneck of this technique still lies in the exploration of highly active, cost-effective, and robust photocatalysts. This work reports the design and synthesis of a novel zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF) coupled Zn0.8 Cd0.2 S hetero-structured photocatalyst for high-performance visible-light-induced H2 production. State-of-the-art characterizations and theoretical computations disclose that the interfacial electronic interaction between ZIF and Zn0.8 Cd0.2 S, the high distribution of Zn0.8 Cd0.2 S on ZIF, and the atomically dispersed coordinately unsaturated Co sites in ZIF synergistically arouse the significantly improved visible-light photocatalytic H2 production performance.
