Abstract
Visible light degradation is a green and economic technology for sewage treatment receiving widespread attention. Here, the filamentous fungus Phomopsis sp. XP-8 was developed as a bioreactor to successively biosynthesize Cd0.5Zn0.5S quantum dots and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in situ and formed heterogeneous Au/Cd0.5Zn0.5S nano-photocatalyst inside cells. This strategy synchronously mediates the microscopic and macroscopic assembly of zero-dimensional materials by microorganisms. The heterogeneous catalyst functionalized composite mycelium pellets (CMP) not only have excellent visible light degradation activity but some unique characteristics. The outstanding organic dye biosorption capacity of CMP increases the contact rate between organic dyes and nano-catalysts, improving catalytic activity. High mechanical strength makes CMP easy to separate and recycle, which overcomes the difficulty of nano-catalyst recovery after use and avoids creating secondary pollution to the environment. This study not only broadens the means of heterogeneous nano-catalyst synthesis but also provides a new perspective on the macroscopic assembly of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Here, a nanofiber-exfoliated bacteria cellulose aerogel with improved water affinity and high mass transfer was synthesized. Consequently, poly Schiff base can be uniformly coated within the body of bacteria cellulose aerogel without the traditional dispersion treatment. The composite aerogel has adequate mechanical and thermal stability and high mass transfer efficiency. Such an aerogel can serve as a superior adsorbent for flow through adsorption of pollution. Typically, the adsorption capacity towards Cr(VI), Cu(II), Re(VII), Conga red, and Orange G reaches as high as 321.5, 256.4, 153.8, 333.3, and 370.3 mg g-1, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption by this composite aerogel is very fast, such that, for example, at just 2 s, the adsorption is almost finished with Cr(VI) adsorption. Moreover, the composite aerogel exhibits a good adsorption-desorption capability. This research will hopefully shed light on the preparation of bacteria cellulose-derived macroscopic materials powerful in not only environmental areas, but also other related applications.

Abstract
The present research developed a direct in situ heterogeneous method to synthesize UiO-66-poly(m-phenylenediamine) core-shell nanostructures by inducing assembly of m-phenylenediamine radical on UiO-66 surfaces. The strong interaction between negative charged UiO-66 and positive radical from the oxidation of monomer is the major driving force. The produced UiO-66-poly(m-phenylenediamine) composites exhibited a distinct core-shell morphology with controllable surface features. The UiO-661-PmPD0.5 showed a uniform PmPD shell with a thickness of 40-60 nm and the nanocomposite exhibited a high specific surface area of 319.77 m2 g-1. Moreover, the Cr(VI) adsorption amount of the polymeric shell in the nanocomposites can reach as high as 745 mg g-1, far beyond the performance of the original PmPD. The adsorption tends to be equilibrium within 300 min. This research opens a hopeful window for facile and large-scale fabrication of core-shell nanostructures with controllable core-shell configuration, exhibiting high prospect in heavy metal removal from water.

Abstract
To improve the mass transfer efficiency of poly(m-phenylenediamine) for the effective removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) from aqueous solution, a facile and one-step method to prepare two-dimensional poly(m-phenylenediamine) functionalized reduction graphene oxide (rGO-PmPD) by dilution polymerization is developed. The structure and morphology of rGO-PmPD as well as rGO and PmPD were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The preparation mechanism, adsorption performance, and mechanism of rGO-PmPD were then investigated in detail. The obtained rGO-PmPD exhibited thin 2D nanosheet morphology with much improved specific surface area and pore volume (18 and 25 times higher than that of PmPD, respectively). The Cr (VI) adsorption of rGO-PmPD was fitted well with the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity of rGO-PmPD reached 588.26 mg g-1, higher than that of PmPD (400 mg g-1) and rGO (156.25 mg g-1). Moreover, the regeneration efficiency of the rGO-PmPD nanosheet is also promising that the adsorption performance after five times of adsorption-desorption cycles still maintains more than 530 mg g-1. The removal mechanism involved reduction coupled with adsorption and electrostatic interaction between rGO-PmPD and Cr (VI), and ~ 65% of Cr (VI) removal was attributed to reduction and ~ 35% was ascribed to adsorption and electrostatic interaction. This study thus provides a simple and effective route to achieve high accessible surface area of adsorbent materials with enhanced mass transfer efficiency and thereafter improved adsorption performance.

Abstract
To develop an efficient, convenient and cost-effective method to simultaneously remove pollution of As(III), Cd(II) and Pb(II) in wastewater, a strategy to fabricate hybrid bio-nanocomposites ((n-HFP + n-HFS)@An) of nano hydroxy ferric phosphate (n-HFP) and hydroxy ferric sulfate (n-HFS) particles coating on Aspergillus niger was applied. The scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrum analyses showed that (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites had been successfully developed which well solved the self-agglomeration problem of the nano particles. Comparing to the bulk nanoparticles, the adsorption rates of the (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites for the three metals were promoted 145.34, 28.98 and 25.18% and reached 76.84, 73.62 and 94.31%, respectively. Similarly, the adsorption capacities for As(III), Cd(II), and Pb(II) were 162.00, 205.83 and 730.79 mg/g, respectively. Moreover, the pseudo-second-order kinetic model was more relevant to the adsorption on the three metals by (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An, and adsorbing As(III) was fitted to the Freundlich isotherm model, while the adsorption on Cd(II) or Pb(II) was related to the Langmuir isotherm model. In addition, the adsorption of Cd(II) and Pb(II) was associated with transformation of hydroxyl groups and precipitation with phosphate. As(III) was adsorbed through exchange between AsO2- and SO42- in the (n-HFP + n-HFS)@An composites.

Abstract
The first step of microbial biodegradation is the adsorption of pollutants on the microorganisms' surface, which is determined by the microorganism type and pollutant hydrophobicity. One fungus Ophiostoma stenoceras LLC and one bacterium Pseudomonas veronii ZW were chosen for the investigation of cell surface hydrophobicity and adsorption abilities to various organic compounds. Results showed that the fungus could better capture and adsorb organic compounds in liquid and gas phases, and the adsorption was a physical monolayer adsorption process. Much smaller partition coefficient for gas-fungus suggested that direct gaseous adsorption was preferred. The XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) characterization further confirmed that several functional groups changed after the adsorption of compounds. The time taken for complete degradation of hexane, tetrahydrofuran and chlorobenzene was shorter with the addition of O. stenoceras LLC. Such findings are useful in exploring the special cell surface of fungus in adsorption and bioenhancement for organic treatment of organic contaminants using bacteria.

Abstract
During the last decade, hydrogels have been used as potential adsorbents for removal of contaminants from aqueous solution. To improve the adsorption efficiency, there are numerous different particles that can be chosen to encapsulate into hydrogels and each particle has their respective advantages. Depending on the type of pollutants and approaching method, the particles will be used to prepare hydrogels. The hydrogels commonly applied in water/wastewater treatment was mainly classified into three classes according to their shape included hydrogel beads, hydrogel films, and hydrogel nanocomposites. In review of many recently research papers, we take a closer look at hydrogels and their applications for removal of contaminants, such as heavy metal ion, dyes, and radionuclides from water/wastewater in order to elucidate the reactions between contaminants and particles and potential for recycling and regeneration of the post-treatment hydrogels.

Abstract
Self-aggregation of bulk nano-hydroxyapatites (n-HAPs) undermines their immobilization efficiencies of heavy metals in the contaminated soils. Here, the low-cost, easily obtained, and environment-friendly filamentous fungi have been introduced for the bio-matrices of the hybrid bio-nanocomposites to potentially solve such problem of n-HAPs. According to SEM, TEM, XRD, and FT-IR analyses, n-HAPs were successfully coated onto the fungal hyphae and their self-aggregation was improved. The immobilization efficiencies of diethylene-triamine-pentaacetic acid (DTPA)-extractable Cd and Pb in the contaminated soils by the bio-nanocomposites were individually one to four times of that by n-HAPs or the fungal hyphae. Moreover, the Aspergillus niger-based bio-nanocomposite (ANHP) was superior to the Penicillium Chrysogenum F1-based bio-nanocomposite (PCHP) in immobilization of Cd and Pb in the contaminated soils. In addition, the results of XRD showed that one of the potential mechanisms of metal immobilization by the hybrid bio-nanocomposites was dissolution of n-HAPs followed by precipitation of new metal phosphate minerals. Our results suggest that the hybrid bio-nanocomposite (ANHP) can be recognized as a promising soil amendment candidate for effective remediation on the soils simultaneously contaminated by Cd and Pb.

Abstract
Highly flexible and porous films with the ability to load various nanoscale adsorbents are of particular importance in the purification field. Herein, we report the sustainable and large-scale fabrication of a porous and flexible hybrid film based on the graphene oxide/hyphae interaction at a relatively low temperature of 130 °C. Under identical conditions, such films cannot be constructed with solely graphene oxide or hyphae. Moreover, through the addition of nanoscale building blocks [e.g., nanoscale poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PmPD) adsorbents] in the interaction process, the nanoparticles can be in situ loaded into the film. According to FTIR and XPS analyses, the film formation mechanisms mainly involve redox and cross-linking reactions between graphene oxide and fungus hyphae. In a proof-of-concept study, a PmPD nanoparticle-loaded hybrid film was used as a superior key component to build a flow-through adsorption device that displayed a promising adsorption performance toward dye pollutants.

Abstract
Macroscale assembly of nanoscale building blocks is an intriguing way to translate the unique characteristics of individual nanoparticles into macroscopic materials. However, the lack of the efficient universal assembly strategy seriously hinders the possibility of macroscale architectures in practical applications. Herein, we develop a general, environment-friendly, and scalable microbial growth method for the construction of macroscopic composite assemblies with excellent mechanical strength by in situ integrating various types of nanoparticles into fungal hyphae (FH) macrospheres. Notably, the size of the FH-based composite spheres and the loading amount of the nanoparticles with different dimensions can be well tuned by controlling the cultivation time and the dosage of nanoparticles, respectively. Interestingly, bifunctional FH-based core-shell macrospheres can also be achieved by programmed assembling two different kinds of nanoparticles in the cultivation process. The produced multifunctional FH-based composite spheres exhibit wide potential applications in magnetic actuation, photothermal therapy, and contaminant adsorption, etc.
