Abstract
A simple sol-gel combustion process was employed for the creation of MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co) nanoparticles. The synthesized nanoparticles, acting as both photocatalysts and gas sensors, were analyzed using various analytical techniques. MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co) material improved the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV-light irradiation, serving as an enhanced electron transport medium. UV-vis studies demonstrated that NiFe2O4 achieved a 60% degradation, while CoFe2O4 nanostructure exhibited a 76% degradation efficacy in the MB dye removal process. Furthermore, MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co) demonstrated chemosensitive-type sensor capabilities at ambient temperature. The sensor response and recovery times for CoFe2O4 at a concentration of 100 ppm were 15 and 20, respectively. Overall, the synthesis of MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co) holds the potential to significantly improve the photocatalytic and gas sensing properties, particularly enhancing the performance of CoFe2O4. The observed enhancements make honey MFe2O4 (M=Ni, Co) a preferable choice for environmental remediation applications.

Abstract
Barium phosphate (Ba3(PO4)2) is a class of material that has attracted significant attention thanks to its chemical stability and versatility. However, the use of Ba3(PO4)2 as a photocatalyst is scarcely reported, and its use as a photocatalyst has yet to be reported. Herein, Ba3(PO4)2 nanoflakes synthesis is optimized using sol-gel and hydrothermal methods. The as-prepared Ba3(PO4)2 powders are investigated using physicochemical characterizations, including XRD, SEM, EDX, FTIR, DRS, J-t, LSV, Mott-Schottky, and EIS. In addition, DFT calculations are performed to investigate the band structure. The oxidation capability of the photocatalysts is investigated depending on the synthesis method using rhodamine B (RhB) as a pollutant model. Both Ba3(PO4)2 samples prepared by the sol-gel and hydrothermal methods display high RhB photodegradation of 79% and 68%, respectively. The Ba3(PO4)2 obtained using the sol-gel process exhibits much higher stability under light excitation after four regeneration cycles. The photocatalytic oxidation mechanism is proposed based on the active species trapping experiments where O2 •‒ is the most reactive species. The finding shows the promising potential of Ba3(PO4)2 photocatalysts and opens the door for further investigation and application in various photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Decoration of α-FeOOH nanorods over PAN nanofibers was performed using the electrospinning technique. The as-designed decorated nanofibers were characterized using various techniques such as wide-angle powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-vis spectrophotometry (UV-vis), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS). α-FeOOH NRs were decorated uniformly over PAN fibers, as observed from its morphological investigation, which shows novelty. 1D α-FeOOH nanorods with PAN nanofibers have not been studied for photocatalytic characteristics. No literature mentions that α-FeOOH nanorods coated in PAN NFs act as photocatalysts to degrade hazardous azo dyes. α-FeOOH nanorods on PAN NFs inhibit aggregation and increase dye binding, boosting photocatalytic performance. PAN/α-FeOOH NFs have a maximal specific surface area with a reduced bandgap than α-FeOOH NRs. PAN/α-FeOOH nanofibers showed excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of Trypan blue (TB) (120 min, 99.7%) and Eriochrome black T (EBT) dyes (160 min, 97.6%), respectively, under solar light irradiation. PAN/α-FeOOH NFs have the potential to be used in the degradation of azo dyes and the treatment of wastewater due to their low energy requirements and versatility.

Abstract
The development of artificial small-scale robotic swarms with nature-mimicking collective behaviors represents the frontier of research in robotics. While microrobot swarming under magnetic manipulation has been extensively explored, light-induced self-organization of micro- and nanorobots is still challenging. This study demonstrates the interaction-controlled, reconfigurable, reversible, and active self-assembly of TiO2/α-Fe2O3 microrobots, consisting of peanut-shaped α-Fe2O3 (hematite) microparticles synthesized by a hydrothermal method and covered with a thin layer of TiO2 by atomic layer deposition (ALD). Due to their photocatalytic and ferromagnetic properties, microrobots autonomously move in water under light irradiation, while a magnetic field precisely controls their direction. In the presence of H2O2 fuel, concentration gradients around the illuminated microrobots result in mutual attraction by phoretic interactions, inducing their spontaneous organization into self-propelled clusters. In the dark, clusters reversibly reconfigure into microchains where microrobots are aligned due to magnetic dipole-dipole interactions. Microrobots' active motion and photocatalytic properties were investigated for water remediation from pesticides, obtaining the rapid degradation of the extensively used, persistent, and hazardous herbicide 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4D). This study potentially impacts the realization of future intelligent adaptive metamachines and the application of light-powered self-propelled micro- and nanomotors toward the degradation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) or micro- and nanoplastics.

Yang J, Yang Y. Boosting the inherent activity of NiFe layered double hydroxide via erbium incorporation for water oxidation. Front Chem 2023; 11:1261332.

Abstract
Enhancing the inherent activity of transition metal-based compounds involving Ni and Fe for the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of vital importance, especially NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH). Here, we doped erbium (Er) into NiFe LDH (Er-NiFe LDH) nanostructures using simple liquid-phase synthesis. The OER activity tests at the same mass loading demonstrated that Er-NiFe LDH has a smaller overpotential and lower Tafel slope than undoped NiFe LDH and commercial RuO2 powders, needing only a small overpotential of 243 mV to achieve a constant current at 10 mA cm-2. Additionally, Er-NiFe LDH was grown in situ on hydrophilic carbon paper substrates (Er-NiFe LDH@CP) to fabricate a three-dimensional (3D) electrode with large catalyst loading, which is favorable for analyzing the stability of morphology structure and elementary components after OER measurement. The galvanostatic measurement suggested that the Er-NiFe LDH@CP electrode possess higher electrochemical durability than a modified glassy carbon electrode due to the stronger mechanical binding between Er-NiFe LDH nanostructures and carbon paper substrate. More importantly, physical characterizations (e.g., SEM and XPS) revealed that Er-NiFe LDH has an excellent stability of morphology, and Ni, Fe, and Er still exist on the catalyst 24 h after the operation. This work provides an effective way for improving the inherent catalytic activity and stability of polymetallic OER catalysts in the future.

Abstract
The improper disposal of toxic and carcinogenic organic substances resulting from the manufacture of dyes, drugs and pesticides can contaminate aquatic environments and potable water resources and cause serious damage to animal and human health and to the ecosystem. In this sense, heterogeneous photocatalysis stand out as one effective and cost-effective water depollution technique. The use of metal oxide nanocomposites (MON), from the mixture of two or more oxides or between these oxides and other functional semiconductor materials, have gained increasing attention from researchers and industrial developers as a potential alternative to produce efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalysts for the remediation of water contamination by organic compounds. Thus, this work presents an updated review of the main advances in the use of metal oxide nanocomposites-based photocatalysts for decontamination of water polluted by these substances. A bibliometric analysis allowed to show the evolution of the importance of this research topic in the literature over the last decade. The results of the study also showed that hierarchical and heterogeneous nanostructures of metal oxides, as well as conducting polymers and carbon materials, currently stand out as the main materials for the synthesis of MON, with better photocatalysis performance in the degradation of dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.

Abstract
Environmental pollution by organic pollutants because of population growth and industrial expansion is a global concern. Following this, the fabrication of single and efficient nanomaterials for pollution control is highly demanded. Under this study, highly efficient and stable copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) were synthesized through the green method using Moringa stenopetala seed extract. XRD, UV-vis, FT-IR, and SEM were applied to characterize the synthesized material. From XRD data, the average particle size was found to be 6.556 nm, and the nanoparticles are crystalline in nature. The formation of CuO NPs was demonstrated by FT-IR spectra of Cu-O in different bending vibration bands at 535 cm-1 and 1122 cm-1, as well as stretching vibration of Cu-O at 1640 cm-1. From UV-visible spectroscopic measurements, the energy band gap of greenly synthesized CuO NPs was found to be 1.73 eV. The SEM result shows that the nanoparticles' surfaces are rough, with some of the particles having spherically random orientation. The photodegradation efficiency of green synthesized CuO NPs photocatalyst was found to be 98.35% for Congo red at optimum experimental parameters (initial concentration, 25 mg/L; exposure time, 120 min; catalyst dose, 0.2 g; and pH, 5) and 95.4% for Alizarin Red S at optimum experimental parameters (catalyst dose, 0.25 g; initial concentration, 40 mg/L; exposure time, 120 min; and pH, 4.6). The COD values determined for the degraded product strongly support the complete mineralization of the dyes toward nontoxic materials. Reusability of the catalyst was investigated for five cycles, and the results clearly indicate the green synthesized CuO NPs are highly stable, can be used for several times, and are cost-effective as well. The degradation of Congo red and Alizarin red S on the surface of the CuO NPs follows the MBG kinetic model.

Abstract
As a straightforward way to fix solar energy, photo/photothermal catalysis with semiconductor provides a promising way to settle the energy shortage and environmental crisis in many fields, especially in clean energy conversion. Topologically porous heterostructures (TPHs), featured with well-defined pores and mainly composed by the derivatives of some precursors with specific morphology, are a major part of hierarchical materials in photo/photothermal catalysis and provide a versatile platform to construct efficient photocatalysts for their enhanced light absorption, accelerated charges transfer, improved stability, and promoted mass transportation. Therefore, a comprehensive and timely review on the advantages and recent applications of the TPHs is of great importance to forecast the potential applications and research trend in the future. This review initially demonstrates the advantages of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis. Then the universal classifications and design strategies of TPHs are emphasized. Besides, the applications and mechanisms of photo/photothermal catalysis in hydrogen evolution from water splitting and COx hydrogenation over TPHs are carefully reviewed and highlighted. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of TPHs in photo/photothermal catalysis are also critically discussed.

Abstract
Suitable electrocatalysts for industrial water splitting can veritably promote practical hydrogen applications. Rational surface design is exceptionally significant for electrocatalysts to bridge the gap between fundamental science and industrial expectation in water splitting. Here, Pt-quantum-dot-modified sulfur-doped NiFe layered double hydroxides (Pt@S-NiFe LDHs) are designed with eximious catalytic activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under industrial condition. Benefiting from enhanced binding energy, mass transfer, and hydrogen release, Pt@S-NiFe LDHs exhibit outstanding activity in HER at high current densities. Notably, it obtains an impressively low overpotential of 71 mV and long-term stability of 200 h at 100 mA cm-2 , exceeding commercial 40% Pt/C and most reported Pt-based electrocatalysts. Its mass activity is 2.7 times higher than that of 40% Pt/C with an overpotential of 100 mV. Furthermore, at industrial temperature (65 °C), the electrolyzer based on Pt@S-NiFe LDH needs just 1.62 V to reach the current density of 100 mA cm-2 , superior to that of the commercial one of 40% Pt/C//IrO2 . This work provides rational ideas to develop electrocatalysts with exceptional performance for industrial high-temperature water splitting at high current densities.

The terrible rise of heavy metal pollution in the environment is considered a serious threat to the terrestrial and aquatic environment. This led to the necessity of developing cost-effective, operation-convenient, and recyclable adsorbents. ZnCoFe mixed metal oxide (MMO) was synthesized using co-precipitation. The sample was characterized using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Factors affecting the adsorption process such as pH, the dose of adsorbent, and time were investigated. ZnCoFe MMO showed the maximum adsorption capacity of 118.45 mg/g for ceftriaxone sodium. The spent MMO was recycled as an adsorbent for malachite green (MG) removal. Interestingly, the spent adsorbent showed 94% removal percent for MG as compared to the fresh MMO (90%). The kinetic investigation of the adsorption process was performed and discussed. In addition, ZnCoFe MMO was tested as an antimicrobial agent. The proposed approach opens up a new avenue for recycling wastes after adsorption into value-added materials for utilization in adsorbent production with excellent performance as antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Atomic hydrogen (H•) is highly reactive for the hydrodechlorination of trichloroethylene (TCE). In this work, we found that the coprecipitation of Ni2+ and Fe2+ at neutral pH led to an unprecedented catalytic generation of H•. The generated H• effectively dechlorinate TCE to nontoxic ethylene and ethane, and Fe2+ is the only electron donor. The abundant adsorbed H• produced with a Ni/Fe ratio of 0.4 enhances hydrogen evolution reaction causing a low efficiency for hydrodechlorination. In contrast, the active absorbed H• is generated in the crystal lattice of Ni-Fe hydroxides with a Ni/Fe ratio of 3.0 causing highly efficient hydrodechlorination of TCE. This work not only reveals the mechanism of catalytic hydrodechlorination by Ni-Fe hydroxides at neutral pH, but also provides a novel approach to detoxify TCE in contaminated water using facile precipitated Ni-Fe hydroxides.

Abstract
With the energy crisis and environmental pollution becoming more and more serious, it is urgent to develop renewable and clean energy. Hydrogen production from electrolyzed water is of great significance to solve the energy crisis and environmental problems in the future. Recently, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) materials have been widely studied in the electrocatalysis field, due to their unique layered structure, tunable metal species and highly dispersed active sites. Moreover, the LDHs supporting noble metal catalysts obtained through the topotactic transformation of LDHs precursors significantly reduce the energy barrier of electrolyzing water, showing remarkable catalytic activity, good conductivity and excellent durability. In this review, we give an overview of recent advances on LDHs supporting noble metal catalysts, from a brief introduction, to their preparation and modification methods, to an overview of their application in the electrocatalysis field, as well as the challenges and outlooks in this promising field on the basis of current development.

Abstract
The rational design of the morphological structure of electrode materials is considered as an important strategy to obtain high-performance supercapacitors. So, NiCoZnS materials with different Ni/Co/Zn molar ratios on Ni foam (NF) were synthesized, in which the Ni/Co/Zn molar ratio plays a key role in the morphological structure and electrochemical performances. Furthermore, the pre-prepared NiCoZnS materials act as substrates to guide the self-assembling of NiCoFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanosheets on the substrate surface to form core-shell electrode materials (NiCoZnS@NiCoFe-LDH) with a 3D mesoporous hierarchical network structure for further improving electrochemical performances. The unique interconnected coral-like NiCoZnS1@NiCoFe-LDH with a large specific surface area (93.1 m2 g-1) and high specific capacitance is achieved at the Ni/Co/Zn molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 1. Benefiting from the unique structural feature and respective merits of the NiCoZnS and NiCoFe-LDH, the NiCoZnS1@NiCoFe-LDH demonstrates an ultrahigh specific capacitance of 1524.0 C g-1 (3386.7 F g-1) at 1.0 A g-1 and excellent 95.0% capacitance retention at 10 A g-1 after 5000 cycles. As for practical application, the assembled NiCoZnS1@NiCoFe-LDH//AC delivers a favorable energy density of 66.25 W h kg-1 at 1500 W kg-1 and a long-term cycling lifetime (86.04% retention at 5.0 A g-1 after 10 000 cycles), which suggests promising potential in energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Mixed metal oxide (MMO) is one of the widely utilized ceramic materials in various industries. In order to obtain high performance, the specific surface area of MMO should be controlled. Calcination of layered double hydroxide (LDH) is a versatile way to prepare MMO with homogeneous metal distribution and well-developed porosity. Although researchers found that the specific surface area of LDH-originated MMO was relatively high, it had not been systematically investigated how the surface area is controlled under a certain parameter. In this review, we summarized LDH-originated MMO with various starting composition, calcination temperature, and pore developing agent in terms of specific surface area and porosity. Briefly, it was represented that MMOs with Mg-Al components generally had higher specific surface area than Mg-Fe or Zn-Al components. Calcination temperature in the range 300–600 °C resulted in the high specific surface area, while upper or lower temperature reduced the values. Pore developing agent did not result in dramatic increase in MMO; however, the pore size distribution became narrower in the presence of pore developing agents.

Abstract
A series of C-doped ZnO/TiO2 composites with various molar ratios of ZnO to TiO2 were synthesized by one-step controllable pyrolysis of Zn/Ti bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (Zn/Ti-MOF). The Zn/Ti-MOF was prepared using a facile microwave hydrothermal method. Electron microscopic analysis proved that the composites presented regularity cubic morphology with an edge length of about 1 μm and the C atoms were successfully doped into ZnO/TiO2 composites. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement results confirmed the C-doping in the ZnO/TiO2. Comparative experimental studies showed that 2% ZnO/TiO2 composites prepared with the calcination temperature of 600℃ displayed the best photocatalytic degradation efficiency (94%) of RhB under the simulated sunlight irradiation. Cyclical experiment indicated the high stability and reusability of 2% ZnO/TiO2 composites. Electron spin resonance (ESR) and trapping experiments illustrated that the produced O2- served as the main active species for the efficient RhB removal. This work provides an efficient way for preparing C-doped bimetal oxides composites, which would have an important application prospect in the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in environmental water.

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNT)-cerium oxide (CeO2) nanocomposites were fabricated successfully by one-pot microwave hydrothermal growth of regular CeO2 nanoparticles with a size of 8 nm on hydroxyl-functionalized multi-walled CNTs. These nanocomposite photocatalysts demonstrated an acid orange (AO7) photocatalytic degradation efficiency of above 90% under solar-simulated light irradiation for 3 h, which was much higher than that of the pure CeO2 nanoparticles. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was observed to mainly originate from the ˙O2- and hole traps, while the hydroxyl radical ˙OH played a secondary role.

Abstract
Due to special non-metallic polar bond between the III group (with certain metallic properties) element boron (B) and the V group element nitrogen (N), boron nitride (BN) has unique physical and chemical properties such as strong high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, heat conduction, electrical insulation and neutron absorption. Its unique lamellar, reticular and tubular morphologies and physicochemical properties make it attractive in the fields of adsorption, catalysis, hydrogen storage, thermal conduction, insulation, dielectric substrate of electronic devices, radiation protection, polymer composites, medicine, etc. Therefore, the synthesis and properties of BN derived materials become the main research hotspots of low-dimensional nanomaterials. This paper reviews the synthetic methods, overall properties, and applications of BN nanostructures and nanocomposites. In addition, challenges and prospect of this kind of materials are discussed.

Abstract
C-doped ZnO particles have been successfully prepared by the calcination using microwave hydrothermally prepared metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5) as the precursor. MOF-5 was turned into C-doped ZnO through calcination at 500 °C, and its cubic shape was well-maintained. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic studies confirmed the C-doping in the ZnO. The as-prepared C-doped ZnO demonstrated a Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation efficiency of 98% in 2 h under an solar-simulated light irradiation, much higher than that of C-doped ZnO derived from MOF-5 synthesized by the ordinary hydrothermal method. The trapping experiment revealed that the crucial factors in the RhB removal were photogenerated h+ and •O2-.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The catalytic behavior of metal oxide nanomaterials for removal of organic pollutants under dark ambient conditions, without any additional stimulant, is of great interest among the scientific community. METHODS In this account, a nanomaterial of ternary metal oxides (MoO3-NiO-PdO-Pd) was synthesized via greener approach and was explored for degradation of methyl orange in water environment in dark ambient conditions in comparison with light conditions. The biochemical species of Abies pindrow were treated with aqueous solution of precursor's salt following sol gel synthesis strategy. We further attuned morphology and chemistry of MoO3-NiO-PdO-Pd by incorporating bioactive compounds of A. pindrow. RESULT AND DISCUSSION The bio-fabricated MoO3-NiO-PdO-Pd revealed outstanding catalytic behavior with 92% degradation of methyl orange within 15 min in the dark at ambient temperature and pressure. Whereas, in the presence of visible light irritation, the catalyst degraded 97% of methyl orange in 15 min. According to the reaction kinetics of degradation, the catalysts illustrated good stability in light (R2=0.93) as well as in dark conditions (R2=0.98). Furthermore, the outstanding reusability and recyclability of the synthesized nanomaterial was observed for four runs of the experiment under dark and light conditions. CONCLUSION Therefore, A. pindrow-synthesized MoO3-NiO-PdO-Pd nanocatalyst demonstrated significant potential for detoxification of organic pollutants for water remediation.

Abstract
Inspired by fish scales, this study prepares a thermo-responsive underwater oleophobic PNIPAM/PAN/TiO2 nanofibrous membranes by traditional electrospinning technique using poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAM) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN). Thermal properties, mechanical properties, surface chemical composition, wettability, photocatalysis, and oil/water separation of PNIPAM/PAN/TiO2 membrane are explored compared to pure PNIPAM membrane. Result reveals that PAN/TiO2 compounds make PNIPAM membrane with a smaller fiber diameter of 141 nm and high tensile stress of 7.4 MPa, and also decompose 98% of rhodamine B after UV light radiation. This bioinspired design structure endows the membrane with superhydrophilicity with a low water contact angle, and underwater superoleophobicity with a high oil contact angle of 157° (petroleum ether) and 151° (dichloromethane). This membrane can efficiency separate oil/water mixture with a high separation efficiency. Moreover, the resultant PNIPAM/PAN/TiO2 membrane has the bionic fish scale structure, and has wettability respond at lower critical solution temperature making the water flux decreased from 10013 ± 367 L m-2·h-1 to 7713 ± 324 L m-2·h-1, and thus has a potential to be used in purification of reclaimed water and separation of oil from water.

Abstract
In this study, ZnTi-mixed metal oxides (ZTM), such as ZnTiO3, were synthesized from ZnTi layered double hydroxides by varying the molar ratio of Zn/Ti, calcination temperatures, and synthesis methods (hydrothermal or reflux). The surface electronic characteristics of ZTM were investigated by the energy-resolved distribution of electron traps (ERDTs) using reversed double-beam photoacoustic spectroscopy. The ZTM samples obtained by conducting hydrothermal synthesis at 500 °C showed similar ERDT patterns independent of the molar ratio of Zn/Ti, although ZnTiO3 phase was not observed in the X-ray diffraction pattern, when the Zn/Ti ratio was high. When the ERDT patterns demonstrated a high electron accumulation level near the conduction band bottom in hydrothermal products at 500 °C, a higher photocatalytic phenol degradation efficiency was observed due to the formation of ZnTiO3 phase. This suggested that the product with the high Zn/Ti molar ratio (Zn/Ti = 6) constituted amorphous ZnTiO3.The enhanced photocatalytic performance of ZTM could be attributed to the heterojunction of electrons among ZnO, TiO2, and ZnTiO3, which enabled electron transfer in the composites, prevented charge recombination, and promoted a wider visible light adsorption by ZnTiO3 phase irrespective of its crystallinity.

Abstract
Electro-oxidation using RuO2-IrO2/Ti plate anode and electrocoagulation using iron plate anode were widely applied to remove ammonia and phosphate in an aquatic environment, respectively. In this work, we designed magnetically bound ZVI microparticles on RuO2-IrO2/Ti plate as a composite electrode for the simultaneous removal of ammonia and phosphate from aqueous solution via combined EO and EC (EO/EC) processes. We present a series of experiments to study such simultaneous removal under an electric field via the EO/EC process. In the electrochemical unit, mZVI-RuO2-IrO2/Ti, mZVI-graphite, and RuO2-IrO2/Ti electrodes were used as anodes. The influence of applied voltage, initial pH, zero-valent iron dosage, reaction temperature, and organic compounds on the EO/EC process was also examined. Ammonia and phosphate could be completely removed at an applied voltage of 10 V, pH of 7, zero-valent iron dosage of 0.1 g, and reaction temperature of 35 °C using mZVI-RuO2-IrO2/Ti anode when influent ammonia and phosphate concentrations is 200 and 100 mg L-1. Ammonia degradation was consistent with pseudo-zero-order kinetic model. The characterization was analyzed by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Hence, the mZVI-RuO2-IrO2/Ti electrode can be used for efficient simultaneous removal of ammonia and phosphate.

Abstract
Electrospun reduced graphene oxide/TiO2/poly(acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid) composite nanofibers (E-spun RGO/TiO2/PANCMA NFs) were fabricated using electrospinning of the dispersive solution of PANCMA, GO and TiO2 followed by post-chemical reduction. The obtained composite nanofibers were compressed in a dialyzer and then used to absorb and degrade malachite green (MG) and leucomalachite green (LMG) from aqueous solution. Compared to the E-spun TiO2/PANCMA and GO/TiO2/PANCMA NFs, the E-spun RGO/TiO2/PANCMA NFs exhibited higher adsorption capacity and photocatalytic degradation ability. Under optimized conditions, 90.6% of MG and 93.7% of LMG from 50 mL aqueous sample solution were adsorbed on the RGO/TiO2/PANMA NFs (3.0 mg fibers) in 2.0 min, and subsequent the 91.4% and 95.2% of MG and LMG adsorbed on the NFs were degradated in 60 min under UV irradiation, respectively. In addition, the E-spun RGO/TiO2/PANMA NFs exhibited good reusability and could be reused in multiple cycles of operations for adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of MG and LMG. This work demonstrated that the electrospun composite nanofibers are promising materials for removal of pollutants from environmental water samples.

In PEG/MMO PCM, PEG exhibits the phase-change function while ZnMgAl-MMO acts as the support carrier to prevent leakage of liquid PEG during phase transition. The properties of PEG/MMO PCM were analysed by XRD, SEM, FTIR, DSC, TG and UV-vis spectrophotometry. The results showed that the maximum PEG confined by MMO could be 65% and 65PEG/MMO PCM exhibited good thermal and chemical stability, sufficient phase change enthalpy and excellent UV absorption properties. Furthermore, the temperature regulation and UV ageing resistance of PEG/MMO PCM modified bitumen was evaluated by the thermal storage and release test and accelerated UV aging test. As a new type of performance-enhancing additive, PEG/MMO PCM is expected to be effective in regulating extreme temperature and resisting UV aging of bitumen and thus significantly extending the service life of bitumen pavement. As a new performance-enhancing additive, PEG/MMO PCM is expected to be effective in regulating extreme temperature and resisting UV aging of bitumen binder and thus could significantly extend the service life of bitumen pavement.![]()

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Cellulose aerogels are a new category of high-efficiency adsorbents for treating oil spills and water pollution. However, the hydrophilic properties and recyclability of aerogels after adsorption hamper developments and applications. Combining both hydrophobic and magnetic properties are expected to improve their adsorption capacity and functionality. EXPERIMENTS In this study, the effect of oleic acid (OA) and nanomagnetite on the preparation of magnetic nanocellulose aerogels (called as NCA/OA/Fe3O4) by a mechanical mixing combined with freeze-drying method have been investigated. FINDINGS It has been found that the optimal condition for fabricating this NCA/OA/Fe3O4 aerogel is 0.4 wt% nanocellulose, 3 mg mL-1 OA and 0.5 wt% Fe3O4 in the aqueous solution. This aerogel has a very low density of 9.2 mg cm-3 and demonstrates a high adsorption capacity of 68.06 g g-1 for cyclohexane. In addition, this aerogel adsorbent demonstrates an excellent magnetic responsivity and can be easily recycled by a permanent magnet after adsorption. As a consequence, this hydrophobic magnetic NCA/OA/Fe3O4 aerogel is promising not only for easy oil and organic solvent adsorption but also potentially for other magnetic related applications.
