[PMID: 39104553 PMCID: PMC11298862 DOI: 10.1016/j.ese.2024.100449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 08/07/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been significant interest in photocatalytic technologies utilizing semiconductors and photosensitizers responsive to solar light, owing to their potential for energy and environmental applications. Current efforts are focused on enhancing existing photocatalysts and developing new ones tailored for environmental uses. Anthraquinones (AQs) serve as redox-active electron transfer mediators and photochemically active organic photosensitizers, effectively addressing common issues such as low light utilization and carrier separation efficiency found in conventional semiconductors. AQs offer advantages such as abundant raw materials, controlled preparation, excellent electron transfer capabilities, and photosensitivity, with applications spanning the energy, medical, and environmental sectors. Despite their utility, comprehensive reviews on AQs-based photocatalytic systems in environmental contexts are lacking. In this review, we thoroughly describe the photochemical properties of AQs and their potential applications in photocatalysis, particularly in addressing key environmental challenges like clean energy production, antibacterial action, and pollutant degradation. However, AQs face limitations in practical photocatalytic applications due to their low electrical conductivity and solubility-related secondary contamination. To mitigate these issues, the design and synthesis of graphene-immobilized AQs are highlighted as a solution to enhance practical photocatalytic applications. Additionally, future research directions are proposed to deepen the understanding of AQs' theoretical mechanisms and to provide practical applications for wastewater treatment. This review aims to facilitate mechanistic studies and practical applications of AQs-based photocatalytic technologies and to improve understanding of these technologies.

Abstract
Antibacterial materials that prevent bacterial infections and mitigate bacterial virulence have attracted great scientific interest. In recent decades, bactericidal polymers have been presented as promising candidates to combat bacterial pathogens. However, the preparation of such materials has proven to be extremely challenging. Herein, photoactive silk fibroin/polyvinyl alcohol blended nanofibrous membranes grafted with 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (G-SF/PVA BNM) were fabricated by an electrospinning technique. The premise of this work is that the G-SF/PVA BNM can store photoactive activity under light irradiation and release reactive oxygen species for killing bacteria under dark conditions. The results showed that the resultant G-SF/PVA BNM exhibited the integrated properties of an ultrathin fiber diameter (298 nm), good mechanical properties, robust photoactive activity and photo-store capacity, and great photoinduced antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus (99.999% bacterial reduction with 120 min). The successful construction of blended nanofibrous membranes gives a new possibility to the design of highly efficient antibacterial materials for public health protection.

Abstract
While supramolecular gels have been attracting great interest due to their easy design and fabrication, development of new applications based on these gels is always a challenging topic. Here, we report a two-component supramolecular gel that can generate and stabilize radicals through photo-irradiation, which can be subsequently used for polymerization. It has been found that the electrostatic interactions between a cationic amphiphile and anionic sulfonate could afford co-assembly into a two-component supramolecular gel. Upon photo-irradiation, the gel changed colour and produced the radicals, as verified from the EPR measurements. The radical thus formed in the supramolecular gel is relatively stable and could be used to polymerize acrylic acid directly without deoxygenation. In contrast, acrylic acid could not be polymerized in solution under the same conditions. This work expands the application scope of supramolecular gels.

Abstract
Halobenzoquinones are a group of disinfection byproducts formed by chlorination of certain substances in water. However, to date, the identities of halobenzoquinone precursors remain unknown. In this study, the formation of 2,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ), a typical halobenzoquinone, from 31 aromatic compounds was investigated after 60 min of chlorination. DCBQ was formed from 21 compounds at molar formation yields ranging from 0.0008% to 4.9%. Phenol and chlorinated phenols served as DCBQ precursors, as reported previously. Notably, DCBQ was also formed from para-substituted phenolic compounds. Compounds with alkyl and carboxyl groups as para-substituents led to relatively higher molar formation yields of DCBQ. Moreover, p-quinone-4-chloroimide, 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide (2,6-DCQC), and para-substituted aromatic amines (e.g., aniline and N-methyl aniline) served as DCBQ precursors upon chlorination. It was deduced that DCBQ was formed from the para-substituted aromatic amines via 3,5-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide, a structural isomer of 2,6-DCQC. These results suggested that DCBQ was formed by chlorination of natural organic matter containing para-substituted phenolic species and para-substituted aromatic amines, despite the absence of phenol in water.

Abstract
Chemically crosslinked cotton fabrics may show yellowish appearance, especially citric acid (CA) crosslinked ones. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) bleaching under alkaline condition could improve the whiteness of the CA-crosslinked cotton fabrics but sacrificing certain crosslinking performance of the products due to alkaline hydrolysis of ester connections. Regular H2O2 and UV irradiation (H2O2/UV) system can destroy color but also damage fibers due to the use of very short wavelength of UVC such as 254nm or shorter. Now, it was found that longer wavelength UV such as 312nm performed better in H2O2/UV systems on CA-crosslinked cotton fabrics. The reaction mechanism and potential product of the oxidation reaction on CA-crosslinked cotton were proposed and demonstrated. UV-vis spectrophotometer and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy provided key evidence. Whiteness, wrinkle recovery angle and tensile strength of the fabrics were evaluated, and the results support the mechanism. The process is environmentally friendly and highly efficient.
