Abstract
The presence of trace water impurities in organic solvents can significantly influence chemical reactions and product quality; thus, the accurate detection of water content in these solvents is a critical requirement for industrial applications. Accordingly, an eco-friendly, effective, and economical sensor for detecting trace quantities of miscible water in organic solvents is required for industrial applications. In this study, we synthesized biomass-derived multi-atom-doped carbon dots (MACDs) as fluorescent probes and employed them for the detection of trace amounts of water impurities in several water-miscible organic solvents. The MACDs exhibited stable dual-color fluorescence emission under ultraviolet light irradiation and red and blue emissions in organic solvents and water. The fluorescence quantum yield was approximately 11 %, which indicates an excited intraparticle proton transfer response due to an increase in the water content within a wide response range from 0 % to 100 % (v/v) in organic solvents. The intensity of the red emission signal at 670 nm gradually decreased with an increase in the water content in the organic solvent. The MACDs could detect water with an instant response time of 55 s, a high sensitivity, and low limits of detection of 0.08 %, 1.36 %, 0.03 %, 0.04 %, 0.12 %, and 0.05 % (v/v) in ethanol, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, methanol, isopropanol, and tetrahydrofuran, respectively. Hence, biomass-derived MACDs can serve as efficient and eco-friendly water sensors in organic solvents.

Abstract
Industrial wastewater discharge is well acknowledged to constitute a significant environmental and public health risk. In addition, synthetic dyes used in the textile sector are major culprits in water pollution. The amount of water polluted by these dyes is simply staggering. We urgently address this issue to protect our planet and health. The degradation of indigo carmine dye in the presence of Sm3+-doped ZnS nanoparticles is reported in this study and characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDX, TEM, BET, PL, UV, etc. The particle size calculated from the Scherrer equation was 3-12 nm. When excited at 395 nm, Sm3+ undergoes f-f transitions, which are visible as prominent peaks in the photoluminescence spectrum at 559, 595, and 642 nm wavelengths. The catalyst showed vigorous catalytic activity for dye degradation, with a 93% degradation rate when used at 15 mg/L catalyst within 210 min. The reaction was found to have pseudo-first-order kinetics. After applying the Freundlich and Langmuir data, the Langmuir isotherm offered the best fit. The findings indicate that the Sm3+-doped ZnS catalyst might be successfully used in the degradation of dyes present in the environment. Doping with Sm3+ ions can significantly change the photocatalytic breakdown of indigo carmine and the luminescence characteristics of ZnS.

Abstract
The MoS2-based reduced graphene oxide aerogel (MoS2-rGOA)-assisted organic transformation reactions are presented. MoS2-rGOA is used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the reduction of benzene derivatives such as benzaldehyde, nitrobenzene, and benzonitrile to benzyl alcohol, aniline, and benzamide and their derivatives, respectively, in green solvents (water/methanol) and green reducing agents (hydrazine hydrate having N2 and H2 as byproducts). The mechanistic features of the reduction pathway, substrate scope, and the best suitable conditions by varying the temperature, solvent, reducing agent, catalyst loading, time, etc. are optimized. All of the synthesized products are obtained in quantitative yield with purity and well characterized based on nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. Further, it is also observed that our catalyst is efficiently recyclable and works well checked up to 5 cycles.

Abstract
Cadmium sulfide (CdS)-decorated, cross-linked melamine-formaldehyde polymer-based nanocomposite (MFP-CdS) has been synthesized. MFP-CdS is utilized here as a photoactive material for the photodegradation of six model organic dyes and their mixture in an aqueous medium in the presence of sunlight. The half-life values from the kinetic study of multiple dyes strongly support the importance of sunlight on the fast degradation of all six dyes compared to bulb light and control (dark) conditions. A comparative 1H NMR analysis of the dyes and their degraded products has been performed to support the breakdown of the aromatic framework of organic dyes using MFP-CdS in sunlight. The mechanisms involved in the photodegradation of dyes have been investigated based on radical trapping studies that support the significant involvement of superoxide radicals along with holes. Moreover, the dye removal efficiency using MFP-CdS from real industrial wastewater samples is evaluated via the external spiking of organic dyes and their mixture in unknown industrial effluents where they showed similar photodegradation results. Based on the high recyclability of MFP-CdS, these are used for multiple cycles.

Abstract
A single-phase Bi2VO5.5 powder is formed effectively through a mechanochemical ball milling approach at 650 °C in 5 h and its photocatalytic performance on methylene blue dye is explored. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analytical instruments are utilized to confirm the phase formation. The evident presence of irregular-shaped grains is affirmed using a scanning electron microscope. To ascertain the chemical condition of the components present, the Bi2VO5.5 powdered sample undergo an X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigation. The sample is analyzed using a time-dependent photocurrent to discern its charge carrier transportation behavior. A photocatalytic study using Bi2VO5.5 powder produced through the mechanochemical ball milling method has not been explored till now. The efficacy of the ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 powder to attain enhanced photocatalytic efficiency which hasn't been investigated till now, is explored. The ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 sample achieved 70% degradation efficiency when performing the photocatalysis investigation. The photocatalytic dye degradation discerns pseudo-first-order kinetics and achieves a notable k value of 0.00636 min-1. The scavenger test indicates that h+ radicals are the prominent active species during the photocatalysis experiment. The germination index is determined by conducting a phytotoxicity test with the use of Vigna radiata seeds. Here ball-milled Bi2VO5.5 powder attains enhanced dye degradation efficiency.

Abstract
The goal of this study is to fabricate bioinspired metal oxide nanocubes from lemon peel extract in an environmentally friendly manner and evaluate its impact on environmental remediation. In neutral pH, the degradation kinetics of methylene blue dye (MB) in the aqueous phase was investigated using iron oxide nanoparticles as a catalyst. The obtained results revealed that under optimum conditions, synthesized Fe2O3 nanoparticles (IONPs) offered ultrafast dark Fenton-like reaction to degrade MB. The size, morphological structures, and stability were confirmed through dynamic light scattering, field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and ζ potential analysis. The overall environmental impact of the process was assessed by growing wheat plants with treated wastewater and evaluating their biochemical attributes. Antibacterial activity was investigated against Gram-positive (Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus subtilis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium) aerobics and Gram-positive cocci (Staphylococcus aureus). The antifungal activity was measured against Fusarium solani by spore germination inhibition and zone inhibition of fungal pathogens for different nanocube concentrations.

Abstract
This study deals with the toxicity of the treated solutions of two types of dyes, namely, the anthraquinonic Reactive Bleu 19 dye (RB19) and the bi-azoic Direct Red 227 dye (DR227), which are treated in single and binary mixture systems. The target molecules were removed by the photocatalysis process using ZnO as a catalyst, which was calcined at two temperatures 250 and 420 °C (ZnO250 and ZnO420) prepared in the lab by the one-step calcination method. XRD, TEM, EDX, XPS, FT-IR, BET, RAMAN, and EPR analyses were carried out to characterize the catalyst material. While the phytotoxicity was being conducted using watercress seeds, the cytotoxicity took place using a cell line (raw) and an intestinal cell (caco-2). The XRD analysis showed the partial calcination of ZnO250 and the presence of anhydrous zinc acetate along with the ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). This result was not observed for ZnO420. Despite the complete discoloration (100%) of all the final solutions, ZnO250 exhibited a high cytotoxicity and phytotoxicity against the RB19 dye after the photocatalytic treatment; however, it was not the case of ZnO420 which was selected as an eco-friendly photocatalyst for the degradation of organic dyes based on the results of removal efficiency, cytotoxicity, and phytotoxicity.

Abstract
Air pollutants consisting of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) poses a major threat to the environment and human health. However, due to their carbonaceous nature, these atmospheric PM can also be used as a precursor for fabrication of high-valued carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) leading to waste to wealth as well as mitigation of air pollution. Over the few years, various results have been reported on different types of physical and chemical methods for the synthesis of CNMs from atmospheric particulate matter with the help of top down and bottom up methods; however, there is a lack of review on these innovative processes and outcome in order to assess their feasibility and suitability for further investigation. This review critically assesses the synthesis, identification, and characterization of different types of CNMs derived from the atmospheric PM. The fascinating fluorescence properties along with the novel multifarious applications of such PM-derived CNMs are also extensively discussed in this review work. This unique review will certainly help to make a new avenue for air pollution mitigation through conversion of PMs in to value added nanomaterials (VNMs) and will boost the research activity in the field of environmental nanotechnology for a cleaner environment.

Abstract
Currently, photocatalytic reactions under solar illumination have attracted worldwide attention due to the tremendous set of associated environmental problems. Taking sunlight into account, it is indispensable to develop highly effective photocatalysts. Strontium titanate, SrTiO3 (STO), is a cubic perovskite-type semiconductor, an inexpensive material with high thermal stability and corrosion resistance that exhibits a similar energy bandgap to TiO2 and can represent an interesting alternative in photocatalytic applications. Particle size can significantly affect both photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical properties of a photocatalyst, thus altering the photooxidation of organic pollutants in air or water. In this context, this research aims at investigating the photocatalytic features of nano- and micro-sized commercial STO powders towards the photodegradation of diclofenac (DFC), a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drug, widely used as analgesic, antiarthritic, and antirheumatic. Both nano- and micro-STO photocatalysts exhibited remarkable photocatalytic efficiency towards DCF, reaching photodegradation efficiency higher than 90% within one hour. Results obtained in simulated drinking water were also compared to those obtained in ultrapure water. Both STOs showed good stability during recycling tests, maintaining high performances after three cycles. Eventually, active species were identified using various scavengers by trapping holes and radicals generated during the photocatalytic degradation process.

Abstract
Reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/bismuth vanadate BiVO4 composites are fabricated with varied rGO amounts (0, 1, 2, and 3 wt%) through the synergetic effects of ultrasonication, photoinduced reduction, and hydrothermal methods, and the materials are tested as tools for sonophotocatalytic methylene blue (MB) dye degradation. The effect of rGO content on the sonophotocatalytic dye degradation capabilities of the composites are explored. Characterization of the proposed materials is done through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy as well as scanning electron microscopy. The coexistence of BiVO4 and rGO is confirmed using Raman spectroscopy and XRD. TEM confirms the existence of interfaces between rGO and BiVO4 and XPS affirms the existence of varied elemental oxidation states. In order to investigate the charge carriers transportation, time-dependent photocurrent responses of BiVO4 and 2 wt%- rGO/BiVO4 are done under visible light irradiation. The sonophotocatalytic MB dye degradation in an aqueous medium displays promising enhancement with rGO doping in rGO/BiVO4 composite. The 2 wt%- rGO/BiVO4 sample exhibits ≈52% MB dye degradation efficiency as compared to pure BiVO4 (≈25%) in 180 min of the sonophotocatalysis experiment. Phytotoxicity analysis through germination index is done using vigna radiata seeds.

Abstract
The use of antiviral drugs has surged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in higher concentrations of these pharmaceuticals in wastewater. The degradation efficiency of antiviral drugs in wastewater treatment plants has been reported to be too low due to their hydrophilic nature, and an additional procedure is usually necessary to degrade them completely. Photocatalysis is regarded as one of the most effective processes to degrade antiviral drugs. The present study aims at synthesizing multiphase photocatalysts by a simple calcination of industrial waste from ammonium molybdate production (WU photocatalysts) and its combination with WO3 (WW photocatalysts). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirm that the presence of multiple crystalline phases in the synthesized photocatalysts. UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra reveal that the synthesized multiphase photocatalysts absorb visible light up to 620 nm. Effects of calcination temperature of industrial waste (550-950 °C) and WO3 content (0-100%) on photocatalytic activity of multiphase photocatalysts (WU and WW) for efficient removal of SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs (lopinavir and ritonavir) in model and real wastewaters are studied. The highest k1 value is observed for the photocatalytic removal of ritonavir from model wastewater using WW4 (35.64 ×10-2 min-1). The multiphase photocatalysts exhibit 95% efficiency in the photocatalytic removal of ritonavir within 15 of visible light irradiation. In contrast, 60 min of visible light irradiation is necessary to achieve 95% efficiency in the photocatalytic removal of lopinavir. The ecotoxicity test using zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos shows no toxicity for photocatalytically treated ritonavir-containing wastewater, and the contrary trend is observed for photocatalytically treated lopinavir-containing wastewater. The synthesized multiphase photocatalysts can be tested and applied for efficient degradation of other SARS-CoV-2 antiviral drugs in wastewater in the future.

Abstract
Experimental and computational works were carried out on a new type of mesoporous silica. In the experimental section, functionalized hollow mesosilica spheres were prepared via a facile technique and then evaluated using some analytical techniques (FESEM, TEM, L-XRD, FTIR, BET-BJH, and TGA). The obtained results revealed that the synthesized material had hollow structure with a diamino-grafted porous shell. The molecular separation of crystal Violet (CV) and neutral Red (NR) dyes from water were investigated by adsorption process using the synthesized powder. Influence of adsorbent loading was evaluated as adsorption ability and dyes removal efficiency. Also, the obtained modeling results revealed appropriate fitting of data with non-linear Langmuir model. The theoretical studies were employed to study the adsorption and removal mechanism of cationic (CV and NR) and anionic (orange II (OII)) dyes using molecular dynamics calculations. Moreover, the simulation outcomes provided valuable information about quantum chemical properties including the HOMO-LUMO maps, chemical reactivity, global softness (σ) and hardness (η) for silica-linker-water-dyes components.

Abstract
In this research, we reported an effective method for the synthesis of a new mesoporous triazine-based carbon (MTC) substrate and its application as the green and recoverable catalyst in the synthesis of organic compounds. The porous carbon acted as a substrate for silver active species after its surface modification by chloroacetonitrile (Ag@MTC). The Ag@MTC nanocatalyst was characterized by several techniques namely, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area analysis, and inductively coupled plasma. The Ag@MTC catalyst was applied for the reduction of nitroaromatic compounds in aqueous media by using NaBH4 (reducing agent) at room temperature. This nanocatalyst can be readily recovered and recycled for at least nine runs without a notable decrease in its efficiency. Catalytic efficiency studies exhibited that Ag@MTC nanocatalyst had good activity towards reduction reactions.

Abstract
Membrane technology is an advanced approach to making a healthier and cleaner environment. Using such catalytic membrane technology to get clean, usable water by removal of dye impurities as well as pathogenic microbes is the main goal behind the research work. Here, we present the synthesis and efficacy study of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based Ag/ZnO/TiO2 trimetallic bifunctional nanofibers with antibacterial and photocatalytic activity. The nanofibers have been proven to be effective for the degradation of methylene blue (MB 93.4%), rhodamine B (Rh 34.6%), auramine-O (Au 65.0%) and fuchsin basic (FB 69.8%) dyes individually within 90 min in daylight. The study is further extended in abating a mixture of these dyes from contaminated water using composite nanofibers. Also, in the case of a mixture of these dyes (3 ppm each), nanofibers show dye degradation efficiency (DDE) of 90.9% (MB), 62.4% (Au) and 90.3% (FB and Rh) in 60 min. The role of Ag nanoparticles with a synergic photocatalytic effect on ZnO and TiO2 is also demonstrated. Also, PMMA/ZnO/TiO2 composite fiber membrane in synergy with silver particles shows better antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, making PMMA/Ag/ZnO/TiO2 fibers a promising candidate in water purification.

Abstract
There has been substantial interest in research aimed at conductive carbon-based supports since the discovery that the electrical stimulus can have dramatic effect on cell behavior. Among these carbon-aerogels decorated with biocompatible polymers were suggested as future materials for tissue engineering. However, high reaction temperatures required for the synthesis of the aerogels tend to impair the stability of the polymeric networks. Herein, we report a synthetic route towards carbon-aerogel scaffolds decorated with biocompatible ceramic nanoparticles of tricalcium phosphate. The composites can be prepared at temperature as high as 1100 °C without significant effect on the morphology of the composite which is comparable with the original aerogel framework. Although the conductivity of the composites tends to decrease with the increasing ceramic content the measured conductivity values are similar to those previously reported on polymer-functionalized carbon-aerogels. The cell culture study revealed that the developed constructs support cell proliferation and provide good cell attachment suggesting them as potentially good candidates for tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
Microgels, microparticles made of hydrogels, show fast diffusion kinetics and high reconfigurability while maintaining the advantages of hydrogels, being useful for various applications. Here, presented is a new microfluidic strategy for producing polymer-graphene oxide (GO) composite microgels without chemical cues or a temperature swing for gelation. As a main component of microgels, polymers that are able to form hydrogen bonds, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), are used. In the mixture of PVA and GO, GO is tethered by PVA through hydrogen bonding. When the mixture is rapidly concentrated in the core of double-emulsion drops by osmotic-pressure-driven water pumping, PVA-tethered GO sheets form a nematic phase with a planar alignment. In addition, the GO sheets are linked by additional hydrogen bonds, leading to a sol-gel transition. Therefore, the PVA-GO composite remains undissolved when it is directly exposed to water by oil-shell rupture. These composite microgels can be also produced using poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(acrylic acid), instead of PVA. In addition, the microgels can be functionalized by incorporating other polymers in the presence of the hydrogel-forming polymers. It is shown that the multicomponent microgels made from a mixture of polyacrylamide, PVA, and GO show an excellent adsorption capacity for impurities.

Abstract
Schiff bases are versatile organic compounds which are widely used and synthesized by condensation reaction of different amino compound with aldehydes or ketones known as imine. Schiff base ligands are considered as privileged ligands as they are simply synthesized by condensation. They show broad range of application in medicine, pharmacy, coordination chemistry, biological activities, industries, food packages, dyes, and polymer and also used as an O2 detector. Semicarbazone is an imine derivative which is derived from condensation of semicarbazide and suitable aldehyde and ketone. Imine ligand-containing transition metal complexes such as copper, zinc, and cadmium have shown to be excellent precursors for synthesis of metal or metal chalcogenide nanoparticles. In recent years, the researchers have attracted enormous attention toward Schiff bases, semicarbazones, thiosemicarbazones, and their metal complexes owing to numerous applications in pharmacology such as antiviral, antifungal, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antituberculosis, anticancer, anti-HIV, catalytic application in oxidation of organic compounds, and nanotechnology. In this review, we summarize the synthesis, structural, biological, and catalytic application of Schiff bases as well as their metal complexes.

Abstract
Staggered gap radial heterojunctions based on ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowires are used as water stable photocatalysts to harvest solar energy for pollutants removal. ZnO nanowires with a wurtzite crystalline structure and a band gap of approximately 3.3 eV are obtained by thermal oxidation in air. These are covered with an amorphous CuxO layer having a band gap of 1.74 eV and subsequently form core-shell heterojunctions. The electrical characterization of the ZnO pristine and ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowires emphasizes the charge transfer phenomena at the junction and at the interface between the nanowires and water based solutions. The methylene blue degradation mechanism is discussed taking into consideration the dissolution of ZnO in water based solutions for ZnO nanowires and ZnO-CuxO core-shell nanowires with different shell thicknesses. An optimum thickness of the CuxO layer is used to obtain water stable photocatalysts, where the ZnO-CuxO radial heterojunction enhances the separation and transport of the photogenerated charge carriers when irradiating with UV-light, leading to swift pollutant degradation.

Visible-light-driven photocatalysts prepared using renewable resources are crucial but challenging to develop for the efficient degradation of organic pollutants, which is required to solve ever-increasing water deterioration issues. In this study, we report a visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for the efficient degradation of methylene blue (MB) as a model pollutant dye. Green-emissive carbon quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized from pear juice via a facile, scalable, one-pot solvothermal process. The as-synthesized CQDs exhibit superior photocatalytic activity under visible-light irradiation owing to their efficient light absorption, electron transfer, and separation of photogenerated charge carriers, facilitating ~99.5% degradation of MB within 130 min. A possible mechanism for the photocatalysis is proposed on the basis of comprehensive active species trapping experiments. Furthermore, the CQDs were used in a specific sensitive assay for Fe(III) and ascorbic acid (AA), even with interference from other metal ions. The fluorescence emission of CQDs was "turned off" specifically upon binding of Fe(III) and "turned on" with AA. The prepared CQDs represent efficient photocatalysts and fluorescent probes that are not restricted by toxicity, cost, or lack of scalability.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are a class of pharmaceuticals used in cancer treatment have the potential to negatively impact the environment. To study the possibilities of anthracyclines (represented by pirarubicin and valrubicin) removal, chemical inactivation using NaOH (0.01 M) and NaClO (5%) as decontamination agents and adsorption to powdered nanocrystalline titanium dioxide (TiO2) were compared. The titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared via homogeneous precipitation of an aqueous solution of titanium (IV) oxy-sulfate (TiOSO4) at different amount (5-120 g) with urea. The as-prepared TiO2 samples were characterized by XRD, HRSEM and nitrogen physisorption. The adsorption process of anthracycline cytostatics was determined followed by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and an in-situ Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTS) technique. It was found that NaClO decomposes anthracyclines to form various transformation products (TPs). No TPs were identified after the reaction of valrubicin with a NaOH solution as well as in the presence of TiO2 nanoparticles. The best degree of removal, 100% of pirarubicin and 85% of valrubicin, has been achieved in a sample with 120 grams of TiOSO4 (TIT120) and TiO2 with 60 grams (TIT60), respectively.

Abstract
The continuous synthesis in controlled gas flame reactors is here demonstrated as a very effective approach for the direct and easy production of structurally reproducible carbon nanodots. In this work, the design of a simple deposition system, inserted into the reactor, is introduced. A controlled flame reactor is employed in the present investigation. The system was optimized for the production of carbon nanoparticles including fluorescent nanocarbons. Blue and green fluorescent carbon could be easily separated from the carbon nanoparticles by extraction with organic solvents and characterized by advanced chemical (size exclusion chromatography and mass spectrometry) and spectroscopic analysis. The blue fluorescent carbon comprised a mixture of molecular fluorophores and aromatic domains; the green fluorescent carbon was composed of aromatic domains (10–20 aromatic condensed rings), bonded and/or turbostratically stacked together. The green-fluorescent carbon nanodots produced in the flame reactor were insoluble in water but soluble in N-methylpyrrolidinone and showed excitation-independent luminescence. These results provide insights for a simple and controlled synthesis of carbon nanodots with specific and versatile features, which is a promising pathway for their use in quite different applicative sectors of bioimaging.

Abstract
The utilization of a sustainable and lightweight graphene aerogel (GA), synthesized from crude biomass, as a cell growth promoter and an adsorbent for the efficient removal of histamine (HIS), a food toxicant, from the real food matrix has been explored. Due to the self-supported three-dimensional nanoporous honeycomb-like structure of the graphene framework and the high surface area, the synthesized GA achieved an 80.69 ± 0.89% removal of HIS from red wine (spiked with HIS) after just 60 min under both acidic (3.0) and neutral (7.4) pH conditions. Furthermore, simple cleaning with 50% ethanol and deionized water, without any change in weight, allowed them to be reused more than 10 times with a still significant HIS removal ability (more than 71.6 ± 2.57%). In vitro cell culture experiments demonstrated that the synthesized GA had nontoxic effects on the cell viability (up to 80.35%) even at higher concentrations (10 mg mL-1), as determined via the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide and lactate dehydrogenase assays using human lung bronchial epithelial cells. Interestingly, GA promotes the wound-healing ability on the scratched epithelial cell surfaces via enhancing the cell migrations as also validated by the western blot analysis via expression levels of epithelial β-catenin and E-cadherin proteins. The distinct structural advantage along with the nontoxicity of the green synthesized GA will not only facilitate the economic feasibility of the synthesized GA for its practical real-life applications in liquid toxin and pollutant removal from the food and environment but also broaden its applicability as a promising biomaterial of choice for biomedical applications.
