Abstract
Heterojunctions, particularly those involving BiOBr/BiOI, have attracted significant attention in the field of photocatalysis due to their remarkable properties. In this study, a unique architecture of BiOBr/BiOI was designed to facilitate the rapid transfer of electrons and holes, effectively mitigating the recombination of electron-hole pairs. Accordingly, the BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction was anchored on dendritic fibrous nanosilica (DFNS) by the immobilization of Bi2O3 nanodots in DFNS and the subsequent reaction with HBr and then HI vapors at room temperature. The 4 nm-Bi2O3 nanodots acted as a sacrificial template to form BiOX nanosheets by reaction with HX vapors (X = Br, I). The BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction with the lateral size remained in the range of 90 to 110 nm and a thickness of 15 nm formed on DFNS, where the BiOBr:BiOI ratio in the product was controlled by the exposure time to HX vapors. The reaction sequence (HBr → HI vapors) was a key for the formation of BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction with controlled composition. When the reaction of Bi2O3 nanodots with HI vapor was performed in the reverse sequence (HI→ HBr), the substitution of I- with Br- occurred to form BiOBr sheets on DFNS. The BiOBr/BiOI nanosheet heterojunction anchored on DFNS was used as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the decomposition of benzene in water under solar light, and its activity was superior to that of single BiOX nanosheets on DFNS.

Copper-doped bismuth oxychloride nanosheets assembled into sphere-like morphology for improved photocatalytic inactivation of drug-resistant bacteria. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 912:168916.

Abstract
The devastating microbiological contamination as well as emerging drug-resistant bacteria has posed severe threats to the ecosystem and public health, which propels the continuous exploitation of safe yet efficient disinfection products and technology. Here, copper doping engineered bismuth oxychloride (Cu-BiOCl) nanocomposite with a hierarchical spherical structure was successfully prepared. It was found that due to the exposure of abundant active sites for the adsorption of both bacteria cells and molecular oxygen in the structure, the obtained Cu-BiOCl with nanosheets assembled into sphere-like morphology exhibited remarkable photocatalytic antibacterial effects. In particular, compared to the pure BiOCl, composite Cu-BiOCl possessed improved antibacterial effects against Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The combination of physicochemical characterizations and theoretical calculations has revealed that copper doping significantly promoted the light absorbance, inhibited the recombination of electron-hole pairs, and enhanced molecular oxygen adsorption, which resulted in more generation of active species including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and h+ to achieve superior photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. Finally, transcriptome analysis on MRSA pinpointed photocatalytic inactivation induced by Cu-BiOCl may retard largely the development of drug-resistance. Therefore, the built spherical Cu-BiOCl nanocomposite has provided an ecofriendly, economical and robust strategy for the efficient removal of drug-resistant bacteria with promising potentials for environmental and healthcare utilizations.

Abstract
We demonstrate a new strategy of PEGylation over core-shell MOFs of HKUST-1 and Cu-MOF-2 by a solvothermal method. The novel synthesized PEGylated core-shell MOFs has synergistic enhancement in terms of physicochemical and biological properties. FTIR spectroscopy and XRD analysis described the bonding characteristics of the double-shelled-core MOFs PEG@HKUST-1@CuMOF-2 and PEG@CuMOF-2@HKUST-1. XPS and EDAX spectroscopy confirmed the structural features of the PEG@core-shell MOFs. The as-synthesized PEG-modified core-shell MOFs showed a readily identifiable morphology with a reduction in particle size. The significant observation from SEM and TEM was that agglomeration disappeared completely, and the morphology of individual core-shell MOFs was clearly revealed. BET analysis provided the surface characteristics of MOF compounds. The chemical states of frameworks were established by XPS. The designed PEG-modified copper MOFs were evaluated for their activity against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) bacterial species and activity against fungal species (Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans). This research work highlights a facile and synergistic approach to design promising biocompatible nano-dimensional core-shell MOFs for biological applications.

Abstract
Environmental pollution remains one of the most challenging problems facing society worldwide. Much of the problem has been caused by human activities and increased usage of various useful chemical agents that inadvertently find their way into the environment. Triclosan (TCS) and related phenolic compounds and derivatives belong to one class of such chemical agents. In this work, we provide a mini review of these emerging pollutants and an outlook on the state-of-the-art in nanostructured adsorbents and photocatalysts, especially nanostructured materials, that are being developed to address the problems associated with these environmental pollutants worldwide. Of note, the unique properties, structures, and compositions of mesoporous nanomaterials for the removal and decontamination of phenolic compounds and derivatives are discussed. These materials have a great ability to scavenge, adsorb, and even photocatalyze the decomposition of these compounds to mitigate/prevent their possible harmful effects on the environment. By designing and synthesizing them using silica and titania, which are easier to produce, effective adsorbents and photocatalysts that can mitigate the problems caused by TCS and its related phenolic derivatives in the environment could be fabricated. These topics, along with the authors' remarks, are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Novel MXene-based two-dimensional (2D) membranes are widely used for water purification due to their highly controllable structure and antibacterial properties. However, in the process of membrane separation, the problems of membrane fouling, especially biological fouling, limits the further application of MXene-based membranes. In this study, in order to improve the antibacterial and separation properties of membranes, three kinds of MXene-based 2D-2D composite membranes (M2~M4) were prepared using polyethersulfone (PES) as the substrate, which were GO@MXene, O-g-C3N4@MXene and BiOCl@MXene composite membranes respectively. The results showed that the antibacterial activity of M2~M4 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was further improved, especially the antibacterial ratio of M4 against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus was up to 50% and 82.4%, respectively. By comparing the surface morphology of MXene membrane and modified membrane treated bacteria through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), it was found that the cell density on modified membrane was significantly lower than that of pure MXene membrane.

Abstract
As an environmentally benign disinfection strategy, photocatalytic bacterial inactivation using nanoparticles involves photogenerated reactive species that cause cellular oxidative stress. Rationalising the structural performance of photocatalysts for the practical uses such as wastewater treatment has attracted significant attention; however, the contribution of reactive species to their photocatalytic antibacterial activities at the molecular and transcriptomic levels remains unclear. In this study, nontoxic bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) photocatalysts with different nanoscale thicknesses, including nanosheets (Ns, ∼5.4 nm), nanoplates (Np, ∼1.8 nm), and ultra-nanosheets (Uns, ∼1.1 nm), were synthesised under hydrothermal conditions. Among the three samples, BiOCl Uns exhibited the most effective photocatalytic degradation efficiency with the calculated apparent rate constant of 0.0294 min-1, ∼4 times faster than that of Ns, whereas BiOCl Ns possessed the most pronounced bactericidal effect (5.4 log inactivation). Such findings indicate the distinct role of the photoactive species responsible for photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. Moreover, transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli after photocatalytic treatment revealed that the underlying photocatalytic antibacterial mechanism at the genetic expression level involves cellular component biosynthesis, energy metabolism, and material transportation. Notably, the differences between BiOCl Ns and BiOCl Uns were significantly enriched in purine metabolism. Therefore, the cost-effective preparation of BiOCl nanosheets with nanoscale thickness-modulated photocatalytic antibacterial activity has remarkable potential for sustainable environmental and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Environmental pollution and various diseases seriously affect the health of human beings. Photocatalytic nanomaterials (NMs) have been used for degrading pollution for a long time. However, the biomedical applications of photocatalytic NMs have only recently been investigated. As a typical photocatalytic NM, bismuth oxychloride (BiOCl) exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance due to its unique layered structure, electronic properties, optical properties, good photocatalytic activity, and stability. Some environmental pollutants, such as volatile organic compounds, antibiotics and their derivatives, heavy metal ions, pesticides, and microorganisms, could not only be detected but also be degraded by BiOCl-based NMs due to their excellent photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties. In particular, BiOCl-based NMs have been used as theranostic platforms because of their CT and photoacoustic imaging abilities, as well as photodynamic and photothermal performances. However, some reviews have only profiled the applications of dye degradation, hydrogen or oxygen production, carbon dioxide reduction, or nitrogen fixation of BiOCl NMs. There is a notable knowledge gap regarding the systematic study of the relationship between BiOCl NMs and human health, especially the biomedical applications of BiOCl-based NMs. As a result, in this review, the recent progress of BiOCl-based photocatalytic degradation and biomedical applications are summarized, and the improvement of BiOCl-based NMs in environmental and healthcare fields are also discussed. Finally, a few insights into the current status and future perspectives of BiOCl-based NMs are given.

Abstract
In this work, a porous multi-functional biomass carbon was prepared by acid-base modification method, which realized the reuse of waste cotton material. Then, the modified biochar was combined with the acrylic-based hydrogel by radical polymerization, and the biochar acrylic-based hydrogel (CS/EDTA/CBC) composite with chitosan and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid was successfully prepared. This not only increases the adsorption performance of the adsorbent but also improves the stability of hydrogel. These characteristics provide high-efficiency adsorption capacity for pollutants (1105.78 mg g-1 for Pb2+, 678.04 mg g-1 for Cu2+, and 590.72 mg g-1 for methylene blue (MB)), which is far superior to most reported adsorbents. Meanwhile, the adsorbent would have a strong chemical interaction with Pb2+ and Cu2+, can form a stable chelating structure, and showed stronger selective adsorption. The adsorption process is more suitable for the Langmuir isotherm and follows a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, which indicates that the adsorption is a single-layer adsorption, and the rate-limiting step is a chemical chelation reaction. XPS results confirmed that surface complexation and electrostatic attraction are the main mechanisms of the adsorption reaction. After five cycles, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent and the recovery of heavy metal ions remained at a high level.

Abstract
In the present work, boron nitride (BN) nanosheets were prepared through bulk BN liquid phase exfoliation while various wt. ratios (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10) of bismuth (Bi) were incorporated as dopant using hydrothermal technique. Our findings exhibit that the optical investigation showed absorption spectra in near UV region. Density functional theory calculations indicate that Bi doping has led to various modifications in the electronic structures of BN nanosheet by inducing new localized gap states around the Fermi level. It was found that bandgap energy decrease with the increase of Bi dopant concentrations. Therefore, in analysis of the calculated absorption spectra, a redshift has been observed in the absorption edges, which is consistent with the experimental observation. Additionally, host and Bi-doped BN nanosheets were assessed for their catalytic and antibacterial potential. Catalytic activity of doped free and doped BN nanosheets was evaluated by assessing their performance in dye reduction/degradation process. Bactericidal activity of Bi-doped BN nanosheets resulted in enhanced efficiency measured at 0-33.8% and 43.4-60% against S. aureus and 0-38.8% and 50.5-85.8% against E. coli, respectively. Furthermore, In silico molecular docking predictions were in good agreement with in-vitro bactericidal activity. Bi-doped BN nanosheets showed good binding score against DHFR of E. coli (- 11.971 kcal/mol) and S. aureus (- 8.526 kcal/mol) while binding score for DNA gyrase from E. coli (- 6.782 kcal/mol) and S. aureus (- 7.819 kcal/mol) suggested these selected enzymes as possible target.

Abstract
The devastating occurrence of drug resistance such as antimicrobial resistance has aroused global concerns for public health, which has propelled a continuous pursuit of safe and effective therapeutic agents. In this study, silver nanoparticles were decorated in mesoporous silica of SBA-15 coated with melanin-like polydopamine (PDA) as nanocarriers. Meanwhile, the constructed mesopore was loaded with phytochemical curcumin (CCM) through its noncovalent interactions with PDA coatings. The obtained CCM@SBA-15/PDA/Ag composites were characterized by physicochemical methods and exhibited desirable biocompatibility and low hemolytic activity. The dual-stimuli-responsive (pH and ROS) release of curcumin and/or silver nanoparticles from the CCM@SBA-15/PDA/Ag composites was achieved to reduce the side effects of noncontrolled drug leakage under physiological conditions. Additionally, compared with that of SBA-15/PDA/Ag and CCM@SBA-15/PDA, CCM@SBA-15/PDA/Ag combination showed a prolonged inhibitory effect on bacterial growth of G- E. coli (72 h) and G+ S. aureus (24 h), attributing to the enhanced effect of the bactericide of silver nanoparticles and curcumin. Furthermore, through the utilization of the nanoformulation of curcumin, improved chemotherapeutic efficiency against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa) and Taxol-resistant nonsmall cell lung cells (A549/TAX) was identified in comparison with that of free curcumin. Thus, our study rationalized the combinational design of the natural compound and silver nanoparticles as an integrated dual-responsive nanoplatform in dealing with infectious bacteria and drug resistance in cancers for enhanced therapy.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater has brought great disaster to water bodies and soils and seriously affected the growth of crops. It is necessary to prepare a stable, effective, and sustainable treatment agent to control water pollution to obtain clean water. The adsorption effect of a lignosulfonate-lysine hydrogel (CLS-Lys adsorbent) on heavy metal ions (Cu2+ and Co2+) in water is studied. In the synthesis experiment, a response surface method is used to optimize the content of sodium lignosulfonate, lysine, initiator, and cross-linker. The CLS-Lys adsorbent is characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, and zeta potential analysis. The performance of the CLS-Lys adsorbent under different influencing factors is studied. The kinetic and isothermal models of the CLS-Lys adsorbent are established. The results show that the main adsorption model of the CLS-Lys adsorbent is chemical adsorption, accompanied by electrostatic adsorption. These two ions have a competitive adsorption relationship, and when the two ions are present at the same time, they inhibit each other. In addition, the CLS-Lys adsorbent has good adsorption and analytical regeneration performance. It is an economic and effective adsorbent and has a broad application prospect.

Abstract
Bacterial infections are the main cause of chronic infections and even mortality. In fact, due to extensive use of antibiotics and, then, emergence of antibiotic resistance, treatment of such infections by conventional antibiotics has become a major concern worldwide. One of the promising strategies to treat infection diseases is the use of nanomaterials. Among them, mesoporous silica materials (MSMs) have attracted burgeoning attention due to high surface area, tunable pore/particle size, and easy surface functionalization. This review discusses how one can exploit capacities of MSMs to design and fabricate multifunctional/controllable drug delivery systems (DDSs) to combat bacterial infections. At first, the emergency of bacterial and biofilm resistance toward conventional antimicrobials is described and then how nanoparticles exert their toxic effects upon pathogenic cells is discussed. Next, the main aspects of MSMs (e.g., physicochemical properties, multifunctionality, and biosafety) which one should consider in the design of MSM-based DDSs against bacterial infections are introduced. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of all the papers published dealing with the use of MSMs for delivery of antibacterial chemicals (antimicrobial agents functionalized/adsorbed on mesoporous silica (MS), MS-loaded with antimicrobial agents, gated MS-loaded with antimicrobial agents, MS with metal-based nanoparticles, and MS-loaded with metal ions) is provided.

Abstract
Four different samples of ordered mesoporous silica powders (MCM-41 and SBA-15) and amino-functionalized mesoporous silica (MCM-41-NH2 and SBA-15-NH2) were used to prepare modified glassy carbon electrodes coated with ion-exchange polymer Nafion to be used for the electrochemical detection of Cd(II). The mesoporous silica samples were characterized through transmission electron microscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, and N2-adsorption/desorption isotherms. The electrodes were characterized by using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. The effect of pH and of the silica type on the electrodes' response was investigated. The influence of amino functional groups grafted on the silica surface toward Cd(II) ion detection was also examined. The detection limits determined with the new silica-modified electrodes [between 0.36 and 1.68 μM Cd(II)] are slightly higher than those reported in the literature, but they are lower than those stipulated in the European legislation [45 μM Cd(II)] and, consequently, the electrodes could be successfully used to detect Cd(II) in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the fabrication of Bi(0)-doped bismuth oxyhalide solid solution films for the removal of trace organic pollutants (TrOPs) in water. With the advantage of a viscous AlOOH sol, very high loadings (75 wt %) of bismuth oxyhalides were embedded within the thin films and calcined at 500 °C to develop porous alumina composite coatings. Various concentrations of Bi(0) doping were tested for their photocatalytic activity. Seven TrOPs including iopromide (IPRM), iohexol (IHX), iopamidol (IPMD), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), carbamazepine, venlafaxine, and bezafibrate (BZF) were selected for this study based on their occurrence and detection in effluents and surface waters worldwide. In all tests, with the exception of IPRM, 3% Bi(0)-doped BiOCl0.875Br0.125 showed highest activity, which can be attributed to its unique, highly organized, and compact morphology besides its well-matched energy band positions. Although IPMD, IHX, IPRM, and SMX are susceptible to photolysis, still the photocatalytic activity significantly augmented the removal of all tested compounds. In addition, analysis of the surface charge excluded electrostatic interactions and confirmed the ion-exchange adsorption mechanism for the high degradation rate of BZF in the presence of bismuth oxyhalides.

Abstract
To tackle severe environmental pollution, a search for materials by economical and eco-friendly preparations is demanding for public health. In this study, a novel in situ method to form silver nanoparticles under mild conditions was developed using biomimetic reducing agents of polydopamine coated on the rodlike mesoporous silica of SBA-15. The synthesized SBA-15/polydopamine (PDA)/Ag nanocomposites were characterized by a combination of physicochemical and electrochemical methods. 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP) and methylene blue (MB) were used as models for the evaluation of the prepared nanocatalysts of SBA-15/PDA/Ag in which the composite exhibited enhanced catalytic performance toward degrading 4-NP in solution and MB on the membrane, respectively. Additionally, compared with that of solid core-shell SiO2/PDA/Ag, tubular SBA-15/PDA/Ag showed the prolonged inhibitory effect on microbial growth as typified by Escherichia coli (60 h), Staphylococcus aureus (36 h), and Aspergillus fumigatus (60 h), which demonstrated efficient control of silver nanoparticles release from the mesopores. The constructed dual-functional SBA-15/PDA/Ag as the long-term antimicrobial agent and the catalyst of industrial products provides an integrated nanoplatform to deal with environmental concerns.
