JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 465:133269. [PMID: 38134696 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2023.133269] [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: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 12/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
The contamination of drinking water by microbes is a critical health concern, underscoring the need for safe, reliable, and efficient methods to treat pathogenic microorganisms. While most sterilization materials are available in powder form, this presents safety risks and challenges in recycling. Herein, this study reports the preparation of an innovative copper oxide supported silver monolithic nanoarray mesh with abundant oxygen vacancies (Ag/CuO-VO) by laser ablation. The instantaneous high temperature caused by laser ablation preserves the material's original structure while generating oxygen vacancies on the CuO surface. The Ag/CuO-VO mesh demonstrated a remarkable ability to inactivate over 99% of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) within 20 min. The oxygen vacancies in the Ag/CuO-VO enhance interactions between oxygen species and the Ag/CuO-VO, leading to the accumulation of large amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The generated ROS effectively disrupt both layers of the bacterial cell wall - the peptidoglycan and the phospholipid - as confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, culminating in cell death. This research presents a monolithic material capable of inactivating pathogenic microorganisms efficiently, offering a significant advancement in water sterilization technology.

Abstract
In this study, CuO loaded on anatase TiO2 catalysts (CuO/anatase) with oxygen vacancies was synthesized via reduction treatments by NaHB4 and H2 (CuO/anatase-B, CuO/anatase-H), respectively. The characterizations suggest that different reduction treatments bring different concentration of oxygen vacancies in the CuO/anatase catalysts, which finally affect the CO catalytic performance. The CuO/anatase-B and CuO/anatase-H exhibit CO conversion of 90% at 182 and 198 °C, respectively, which is lower than what occurred for CuO/anatase (300 °C). The XRD, Raman, and EPR results show that the amount of the oxygen vacancies of the CuO/anatase-H is the largest, indicating a stronger reduction effect of H2 than NaHB4 on the anatase surface. The in situ DRIFTS results exhibit that the Cu sites are the adsorption sites of CO, and the oxygen vacancies on the anatase can active the O2 molecules into reactive oxygen species. According to the in situ DRIFTS results, it can be concluded that in the CO oxidation reaction, only the CuO/anatase-H catalyst can be carried out by the Mvk mechanism, which greatly improves its catalytic efficiency. This study explained the reaction mechanisms of CO oxidation on various anatase surfaces, which offers detailed insights into how to prepare suitable catalysts for low-temperature oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Industrialization has resulted in the rapid increase of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, which have caused serious issues to human health and the environment. In this study, an extensive Cu incorporating TiO2 induced nucleophilic oxygen structure was constructed in the CuTiOx catalyst, which exhibited superior low-temperature catalytic activity for C3H6 combustion. Thorough structural, surface characterization and density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that the Cu-O-Ti hybridization induced nucleophilic oxygen initiates C3H6 combustion by abstracting the C-H bond. In situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) results indicated that incorporated copper species acted as the major adsorbent site for the propene molecule. In combination of the DRIFTS and DFT results, the promotion effect of the nucleophilic O on the C-H bond abstraction and CO2 formation pathway was proposed. The surface doping induced nucleophilic oxygen as strong Brønsted basic sites for low-temperature propene combustion exemplified an efficient strategy for rational design of next-generation environmental catalysts.

Room-Temperature Solid-State Preparation of CoFe2O4@Coal Composites and Their Catalytic Performance in Direct Coal Liquefaction. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
Iron-based catalysts are promising catalysts in the direct coal liquefaction (DCL) process as they are inexpensive and environmentally friendly. However, most such iron-based catalysts show relatively low activity in coal conversion and oil yield. Common techniques for the synthesis of these catalysts with excellent catalytic performance remain a substantial challenge. We present a simple solid-state synthesis strategy for preparing CoFe2O4 nanoparticles and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles supported on coal (CoFe2O4@coal) composites for DCL. The obtained bimetallic oxide CoFe2O4 nanoparticles show an enhanced catalytic performance in the DCL compared with monometallic components Fe2O3 and Co(OH)2 nanoparticles. The synergistic effect between Co and Fe of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles promotes the catalytic hydrogenation of coal during the DCL process. Moreover, the catalytic performance of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles is further improved when they are loaded on the coal. The conversion, oil yield, liquefaction degree, and gas yield of Dahuangshan lignite are 99.44, 56.01, 82.18 and 19.30 wt %, respectively, with the CoFe2O4@coal composites involved. The smaller particle size and high dispersion of CoFe2O4 supported on coal are of great benefit to full contact between coal and active components. The in-situ solid-state synthesis with coal as support shows great potential to prepare effective iron-based catalysts toward DCL in practice.
