Rana S, Kumar A, Lai CW, Sharma G, Dhiman P. Recent progress in ZnCr and NiCr layered double hydroxides and based photocatalysts for water treatment and clean energy production. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 356:141800. [PMID: 38554860 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.141800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/02/2024]
Abstract
In pursuit of advancing photocatalysts for superior performance in water treatment and clean energy generation, researchers are increasingly focusing on layered double hydroxides (LDHs) which have garnered significant attention due to their customizable properties, morphologies, distinctive 2D layered structure and flexible options for modifying anions and cations. No review has previously delved specifically into ZnCr and NiCr LDH-based photocatalysts and therefore, this review highlights the recent surge in ZnCr and NiCr-based LDHs as potential photocatalysts for their applications in water purification and renewable energy generation. The structural and fundamental characteristics of layered double hydroxides and especially ZnCr-LDHs and NiCr-LDHs are outlined. Further, the various synthesis techniques for the preparation of ZnCr-LDHs, NiCr-LDHs and their composite and heterostructure materials have been briefly discussed. The applicability of ZnCr-LDH and NiCr-LDH based photocatalysts in tackling significant issues in water treatment and sustainable energy generation is the main emphasis of this review. It focuses on photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater, elucidating the principles and advancements for enhancing the efficiency of these materials. It also explores their role in H2 production through water splitting, conversion of CO2 into valuable fuels and NH3 synthesis from N2, shedding light on their potential for clean energy solutions. The insights presented herein offer valuable guidance for researchers working towards sustainable solutions for environmental remediation and renewable energy generation.

Abstract
The study attempts to analyze the impact of hybrid energy systems on environmental sustainability in the context of the circular economy network. The hybrid energy sources follow the principle of circular economy, which aims to reduce raw material use and waste which is very fruitful in promoting environmental sustainability. However, the study uses quarterly data from Pakistan from 2011Q1 to 2020Q4 to accomplish the proposed study objective. The study constructs 5 hybrid systems of energy to analyze the impact and applies Auto Regressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) to estimate the results. It is found that electricity generation through solar photovoltaic (SPV), wind turbine (WND), hydroelectricity (HYDE) and nuclear power generation (NPG) play a positive role in increasing environment sustainability. The results explain that SPV, NPG, and HYDE contribute 2.29%, 2.04%, and 0.42% to environmental sustainability, respectively. Hybrid systems of energy (Hybrid 1,2,3,4 and 5) positively impact ecological sustainability, but the intensity of each hybrid system in sustaining the environment is different. Among five hybrid systems, the hybrid-5 (SPV-WND-HYDE-NPG) energy system is more environmentally friendly and has the highest contribution towards environmental sustainability. The study suggests incorporating hybrid energy systems provides the means of transition toward a circular economy, ultimately promoting ecological sustainability. The study proposes to the officials of the Pakistani government and policymakers to initiate effective policies to encourage hybrid energy systems because the significance of hybrid systems ensures a low carbon economy and makes a path towards sustainable economic development.

Abstract
Herein, we report an electrochemical scaffold consisting of functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (COOH-fMWCNTs) and iron-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Fe-ZnO) for the detection of a hazardous textile dye safranin T (ST) and monitoring of its photocatalytic degradation. Prior to the detection and degradation analysis, Fe-ZnO NPs were synthesized by the sol-gel method and characterized by a number of structural and morphological techniques. The carboxyl moiety of COOH-fMWCNTs possessing a strong affinity for the amino functionality of ST led to significant enhancement of the current response at the designed electrochemical platform, whereas the electrocatalytic role, surface area enhancement, and the provision of binding sites of Fe-ZnO led to a further increase in the peak current intensity of ST. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the sensing scaffold made of the glassy carbon electrode modified with COOH-fMWCNTs and Fe-ZnO efficiently transfers charge between the transducer and the redox probe. Under optimized conditions, the developed sensor showed a 2.3 nM limit of detection for ST. Moreover, recovery experiments and anti-interference tests qualified the sensing platform for practical applications. The dye was photocatalytically degraded using Fe-ZnO NPs up to 99% in 60 min with a rate constant of 0.068 min-1. The designed sensor was used to probe the degradation kinetics of the target dye, and the results were found consistent with the findings obtained from electronic absorption method. To the best of our knowledge, the present work is the first approach for the efficient detection and almost absolute degradation of ST.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBM) have shown great potential for various environmental applications because of their physical and chemical properties. The unique hybridization properties of CBMs allow for the tailored manipulation of their structures and morphologies. However, owing to poor solar light absorption, and the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, pristine carbon materials typically have unsatisfactory photocatalytic performances and practical applications. The main challenge in this field is the design of economical, environmentally friendly, and effective photocatalysts. Combining carbonaceous materials with carbonaceous semiconductors of different structures results in unique properties in carbon-based catalysts, which offers a promising approach to achieving efficient application. Here, we review the contribution of CBMs with different dimensions, to the catalytic removal of organic pollutants from wastewater by catalyzing the Fenton reaction and photocatalytic processes. This review, therefore, aims to provide an appropriate direction for empowering improvements in ongoing research work, which will boost future applications and contribute to overcoming the existing limitations in this field.

Efficient wastewater disinfection by raised 1O 2 yield through enhanced electron transfer and intersystem crossing via photocatalysis of peroxymonosulfate with CuS quantum dots modified MIL-101(Fe). WATER RESEARCH 2023; 229:119489. [PMID: 36528926 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.119489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based photocatalysis is a promising alternative approach for wastewater disinfection. Singlet oxygen (1O2) is sensitive and efficient for bacterial inactivation. This study developed a 1O2-predominated PMS disinfection technique under visible light with CuS quantum dots (QDs) modified MIL-101(Fe) (CSQDs@MF). CuS QDs modification greatly enhanced the 1O2 quantum yield by 80% than that of MIL-101(Fe). Photoelectricity and photoluminescence tests demonstrated that both the enhanced electron transfer and energy transfer were responsible for improved 1O2 generation in Vis/PMS/CSQDs@MF system. The system took 60 min to inactivate 7.5-log E. coli, and it could be applied in a broad pH and dissolve oxygen range. Bacterial inactivation mechanism suggested that 1O2 attacked cell membrane first, then induced oxidative stress, up-regulated intracellular ROS level, eventually broke DNA strand. The system showed good disinfection performance on Gram-positive B. subtilis and fecal coliforms in practical wastewater, implying it is a promising alternative disinfection technology for wastewater treatment.

Photocatalytic Degradation of 4-tert-butylphenol Using Solar Light Responsive Ag2CO3. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
In this work, Ag2CO3 was prepared via a solution-based method and was further characterized by XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM/EDS analysis, and UV-VIS spectroscopy. SEM results revealed the formation of micro-sized particles with a rectangular shape. The photocatalytic activity of the catalyst was evaluated in the degradation of 4-tert-butylphenol (4-t-BP) under simulated solar light irradiation. The effects of 4-t-BP initial concentration (2.5–10 ppm), catalyst dosage (100–300 mg/L), different types of lamp sources, and water matrix were investigated. Complete 4-t-BP (5 ppm) degradation was achieved after 60 min by Ag2CO3 (200 mg/L). The effect of anions such as CO32−, HCO3−, NO3−, and Cl- in the concentration range of 100–300 mg/L was also studied. CO32− promoted the photocatalytic degradation process, while HCO3− and NO3− exhibited an inhibition effect, which was marked with increasing HCO3− and NO3− concentrations. The presence of Cl− at the concentration of 100 mg/L increased 4-t-BP degradation, but higher concentrations inhibited the photocatalytic reaction. Cyclic experiments showed that the catalyst practically retained its catalytic activity toward 4-t-BP degradation after three successive experimental runs.

Abstract
Heterostructured nanohybrids were prepared from sodium bismuth sulfide (NaBiS2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) through hydrothermal process. The nanocomposite was used for tetracycline (TC) degradation as well as photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Morphology and structural analyses were performed to confirm the dispersion of ultra-small ZnO nanosheets into the NaBiS2 nanoribbons. By tuning the band gap, it was possible to degrade tetracycline toxic pollutant within 90 min under the simulated solar light irradiation, while PEC suggested a lower charge-transfer resistance, high photocurrent response, and exceptionally good stability. The highest photocurrent density of 0.751 mAcm-2 vs. Ag/AgCl in 0.1 M Na2SO3 solution was observed under solar-light illumination. Detailed photocatalytic mechanisms for the degradation of TC and PEC water oxidation are discussed.

Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis technology, which can kill pathogenic microorganisms in a green and broad-spectrum way, is a new research field with great application potential. Due to the dependence on light, semiconductor materials have the problems of low utilization rate of sunlight and inactivation under dark conditions. A simple Au-loaded g-C3 N4 (Au/g-C3 N4 ) nanocomposites was studied. Under dark conditions, the antibacterial efficiency of 1.2 % Au/g-C3 N4 reached 99.1 % relative to 105 CFU (Colony-FormingUnits)/mL E. coli. Under light conditions, the antibacterial efficiency of 0.9 % Au/g-C3 N4 reached 94.1 % relative to 107 CFU/mL E. coli. The influence of contact time, Au loading and bacterial concentration on its antibacterial performance under dark conditions was discussed in detail. Through photoelectrochemistry, SEM, TEM and reactive oxygen species (ROS) detection the microscopic charge behaviour was revealed in the system, and a light-dark dual-mode antibacterial mechanism was proposed.

Abstract
Inspired by the structure and optical properties of N,N'-dialkylated/dibenzylated 2,5-bis(4-pyridinium)thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole, we proposed a series of disubstituted thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazole derivatives as promising materials for multifunctional optoelectronic, electron transfer sensing, and other photochemical applications. Density functional theory study of the electronic structures and transition properties of those newly proposed molecules indicates that the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups introduced to the peripheral pyridyl ligands extend the distributions of molecular frontier orbitals, increase the electron density in thiazolo[5,4-d]thiazolea, and therefore lead to remarkable red-shifts of their absorption and emission peaks.

Abstract
Low photocatalytic efficiency of visible light and fast recombination of photo-generated carriers are two challenges facing the applications of photocatalyst sterilant zinc oxide (ZnO). Meanwhile, both light and dark photocatalytic activities are important. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to construct a day-night photocatalytic antibacterial material, which is beneficial to the effective use of energy and to tackle the limitation of using photocatalytic bacteriostat. ZnO nanoflowers decorated vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanowires heterojunction (ZVH) was firstly fabricated using a facile water-bathing method. The designed ZVH structure efficiently produced abundant reactive oxygen species (ROS) in both light and darkness. It yielded 99.8% and 99.0% of antibacterial rate against S. aureus due to oxidative stress induced by ROS in light and darkness, respectively. The generation of ROS played a major role in the antibacterial activities against S. aureus under both light and dark conditions. The prepared ZVH with improved antibacterial properties provides an alternative for day-night antibacterial agents.

Abstract
The photoassisted catalytic reaction, conventionally known as photocatalysis, is expanding into the field of energy and environmental applications. It is widely known that the discovery of TiO2 -assisted photochemical reactions has led to several unique applications, such as degradation of pollutants in water and air, hydrogen production through water splitting, fuel conversion, cancer treatment, antibacterial activity, self-cleaning glasses, and concrete. These multifaceted applications of this phenomenon can be enriched and expanded further if this process is equipped with more tools and functions. The term "photoassisted" catalytic reactions clearly emphasizes that photons are required to activate the catalyst; this can be transcended even into the dark if electrons are stored in the material for the later use to continue the catalytic reactions in the absence of light. This can be achieved by equipping the photocatalyst with an electron-storage material to overcome current limitations in photoassisted catalytic reactions. In this context, this article sheds lights on the materials and mechanisms of photocatalytic reactions under light and dark conditions. The manifestation of such systems could be an unparalleled technology in the near future that could influence all spheres of the catalytic sciences.

Abstract
The inhibition of electrons-holes recombination and enhancement of visible light photocatalytic activity were accomplished by the synthesized TiO2/CS nanocomposites system. In this present work, the different weight ratio of TiO2 and chitosan (75:25, 50:50 and 25:75) nanocomposites were synthesized via two-step method. After that, the existing functional groups, size and structure of the nanocomposites system were characterized via FT-IR, TEM and XRD measurements. The band gap of the prepared materials and its excitation and emission spectra were elevated through UV-vis and PL analyses. Moreover, the MO and MB degradation capability of the synthesized TiO2/CS nanocomposites was optimized, and the outcomes are described in detail.
