[PMID: 39027550 PMCID: PMC11255594 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Increasing water pollution and decreasing energy reserves have emerged as growing concerns for the environment. These pollution are due to the dangerous effects of numerous pollutants on humans and aquatic organisms, such as hydrocarbons, biphenyls, pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and metal ions. On the other hand, the need for a clean environment, finding alternatives to fossil and renewable fuels is very important. Hydrogen (H2) is regarded as a viable and promising substitute for fossil fuels, and a range of methodologies have been devised to generate this particular source of energy. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new generation of nanoporous coordination polymers whose crystal structure is composed of the juxtaposition of organic and inorganic constituent units. Due to their flexible nature, regular structure, and high surface area, these materials have attracted much attention for removing various pollutants from water and wastewater, and water splitting. MOFs Z-scheme heterojunctions have been identified as an economical and eco-friendly method for eliminating pollutants from wastewater systems, and producing H2. Their low-cost synthesis and unique properties increase their application in various energy and environment fields. The heterojunctions possess diverse properties, such as exceptional surface area, making them ideal for degradation and separation. The development and formulation of Z-scheme heterojunctions photocatalytic systems using MOFs, which possess stable and potent redox capability, have emerged as a successful approach for addressing environmental pollution and energy shortages in recent times. Through the utilization of the benefits offered by MOFs Z-scheme heterojunctions photocatalysts, such as efficient separation and migration of charge carriers, extensive spectrum of light absorption, among other advantages, notable enhancements can be attained. This review encompasses the synthesis techniques, structure, and properties of MOFs Z-scheme heterojunctions, and their extensive use in treating various wastewaters, including dyes, pharmaceuticals, and heavy metals, and water splitting. Also, it provides an overview of the mechanisms, pathways, and various theoretical and practical aspects for MOFs Z-scheme heterojunctions. Finally, it thoroughly assesses existing challenges and suggests further research on the promising applications of MOFs Z-scheme in industrial-scale wastewater treatment.

Abstract
For nearly a century, the misuse of antibiotics has gradually polluted water and threatened human health. Photocatalysis is considered an efficient way to remove antibiotics from water. Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks have attracted much attention as promising photocatalysts for the degradation of antibiotics. However, single Zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks can still not achieve a more satisfactory photocatalytic efficiency, due to poor light absorption and charge separation efficiency. In this study, a novel metal-loaded metal-organic frameworks material was explored. As a potential photocatalytic material, the performance of NH2-UiO-66 in the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline was greatly improved just by the loading of a single metal. Bismuth/NH2-UiO-66 photocatalysts of various compositions were physicochemically (TEM, SEM, XRD, XPS, BET, FTIR, UV-VIS, PL), and electrochemically (electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photocurrent response) characterized. We evaluated the photocatalytic performance of Bismuth/NH2-UiO-66 composites by measuring their ability towards tetracycline decomposition in simulated sunlight irradiation conditions. The experimental results indicated that the introduction of metal Bismuth significantly boosts the photocatalytic activity of the composite catalysts. The final degradation rate of Bismuth/NH2-UiO-66 for tetracycline was found to be 95.8%, namely 2.7 times higher than pure NH2-UiO-66. This behavior is due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Bismuth, which ameliorates the photocatalyst's electron-hole separation and strengthens the charge transfer. Apart from that, the presence of Bismuth magnifies the visible-light absorption range of Bismuth/NH2-UiO-66. In this study, an innovative approach for designing efficient and cost-effective metal-modified metal-organic frameworks photocatalysts is proposed.

Abstract
The fast development of urbanisation and industrialisation has led to a rise in nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, specifically nitric oxide (NO). One effective method for reducing the harmful effects of this dangerous air pollutant on both human health and the environment is the photocatalytic oxidation of NO. Z-scheme heterojunctions enhance incident light utilisation and increase photocatalytic activity, eventually leading to better NO oxidation performance by encouraging the effective separation of charges and migration. A comprehensive discussion of Z-scheme-based heterojunctions is provided in this review paper, with a focus on their applications in the photocatalytic oxidation of NO. Significant progress has been made in the fabrication of efficient photocatalytic devices in recent years, with Z-scheme-based heterojunctions proving to be particularly successful. The review looks into the various methodologies used to create Z-scheme-based heterojunctions as well as photocatalytic NO oxidation mechanisms. Recent studies on photocatalysts employing Z-scheme heterojunctions for the photocatalytic oxidation of NO are also discussed. The possibilities for new opportunities as well as the present challenges, barriers, advances, and solutions have been emphasized.

Abstract
Self-cleaning surface has attracted much attention in the field of photocatalytic degradation of NO due to its dirt pickup resistance and self-cleaning effect under the action of rainwater. In this review, the factors affecting NO degradation efficiency were analyzed in terms of photocatalyst characteristics and environmental conditions combined with the photocatalytic degradation mechanism. The feasibility of photocatalytic degradation of NO on superhydrophilic, superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic surfaces was discussed. Furthermore, the effect of special surface characteristics of self-cleaning on photocatalytic NO was highlighted and the improvement of the long-term effect using three self-cleaning surfaces on photocatalytic NO was evaluated and summarized. Finally, the conclusion and outlook were proposed related to the self-cleaning surface for photocatalytic degradation of NO. In future research, the comprehensive effects of the characteristics of photocatalytic materials, self-cleaning characteristics and environmental factors on the photocatalytic degradation of NO and the actual application effects of such self-cleaning photocatalytic surfaces should be further clarified in combination with the engineering. It is believed that this review can provide some theoretical basis and support for the development of self-cleaning surfaces in the field of photocatalytic degradation of NO.

Abstract
Solar-driven photocatalysis offers an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for the removal of air pollutants such as nitric oxides without chemical addition. However, the low specific surface area and adsorption capacity of common photocatalysts restrict the surface reactions with NO at the ppb-level. In this study, imidazolium-based hyper-cross-linked polymer (IHP) was introduced to modify the surface of TiO2 to construct a porous TiO2/IHP composite photocatalyst. The as-prepared composite with hierarchical porous structure achieves a larger specific surface area as 309 m2/g than that of TiO2 (119 m2/g). Meanwhile, the wide light absorption range of the polymer has brought about the strong visible-light absorption of the TiO2/IHP composite. In consequence, the composite photocatalyst exhibits excellent performance toward NO oxidation at a low concentration of 600 ppb under visible-light irradiation, reaching a removal efficiency of 51.7%, while the generation of the toxic NO2 intermediate was suppressed to less than 1 ppb. The enhanced NO adsorption and the suppressed NO2 generation on the TiO2/IHP surface were confirmed by in situ monitoring technology. This work demonstrates that the construction of a porous structure is an effective approach for efficient NO adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation.

Abstract
Existence of pharmaceutical residues in water has endangered environmental pollution worldwide, which makes it ineludible to develop prospective bifunctional materials which not only possess excellent fluorescence behaviour to monitor pharmaceuticals but also exhibit simultaneous photocatalytic removal efficiency. Strengthened by functionalized metal organic framework (MOF) materials, we present here an amine functionalized zirconium-based MOF NH2-UiO-66 which has been successfully synthesized using solvothermal approach. The as prepared MOF was subjected to numerous structural, morphological and compositional characterizations. Interestingly, featured by the excellent fluorescent intensity of MOF modulated by LMCT effect, NH2-UiO-66 was screened to detect pharmaceutical compounds with KTC and TC in aqueous solution. The prepared functionalized MOF showcased excellent sensing platform with magnificent response range (0‒3 µM), lower limit of detection (160 nM; KTC and 140 nM; TC), excellent selectivity and influential anti-interference capability. More importantly, the practical utility of the proposed sensor was further explored for the determination of pharmaceutical drugs in real water samples with suitable recoveries. Simultaneously, the synthesized MOF also exhibited high photocatalytic efficiency towards the removal of KTC and TC under solar light irradiation. The degradation efficiency for KTC and TC was found to be 68.3% and 71.8% within 60 and 280 min of solar light, respectively. Moreover, excellent recyclability was demonstrated by the current synthesized system over five cycles. Overall, this study presents a feasible route for the utilization of functionalized MOFs as potential dual functional materials towards the simultaneous detection and degradation of specific pharmaceuticals from aqueous medium.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been frequently used as photocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using sacrificial agents with UV-vis or visible light irradiation. The aim of the present review is to summarize the use of MOFs as solar-driven photocatalysts targeting to overcome the current efficiency limitations in overall water splitting (OWS). Initially, the fundamentals of the photocatalytic OWS under solar irradiation are presented. Then, the different strategies that can be implemented on MOFs to adapt them for solar photocatalysis for OWS are discussed in detail. Later, the most active MOFs reported until now for the solar-driven HER and/or oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically commented. These studies are taken as precedents for the discussion of the existing studies on the use of MOFs as photocatalysts for the OWS under visible or sunlight irradiation. The requirements to be met to use MOFs at large scale for the solar-driven OWS are also discussed. The last section of this review provides a summary of the current state of the field and comments on future prospects that could bring MOFs closer to commercial application.

Abstract
The solvent-assisted linker exchange (SALE) method was used to produce amino-functionalized yttrium-based UiO-66 [NH2UiO-66(Y)], which is not obtainable via a direct synthetic method. Remarkably, SALE not only produced relatively highly porous NH2UiO-66(Y) from completely non-porous 3,3-bpdc-Y but also changed the network topology from 8-connected bcu in 3,3-bpdc-Y to 12-connected fcu in NH2UiO-66(Y). Based on our knowledge, this is one of the rare cases where SALE changes the whole network topology of the resulting metal-organic framework. NH2UiO-66(Y) also showed promising ability for selective detection of Cu2+ at a low concentration.

Abstract
Developing suitable photocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is still a challenging issue for efficient water splitting due to the high requirements to create a significant impact on water splitting reaction kinetics. Herein, n-type Bi2WO6 with flower-like hierarchical structure and p-type Cu2O quantum dots (QDs) are coupled together to construct an efficient S-scheme heterojunction, which could enhance the migration efficiency of photogenerated charge carriers. The electrochemical properties are investigated to explore the transportation features and donor density of charge carriers in the S-scheme heterojunction system. Meanwhile, the as-prepared S-scheme heterojunction presents improved photocatalytic activity towards water oxidation in comparison with the sole Bi2WO6 and Cu2O QDs systems under simulated solar light irradiation. Moreover, the initial O2 evolution rate of the Cu2O QDs/Bi2WO6 heterojunction system is 2.3 and 9.7 fold that of sole Bi2WO6 and Cu2O QDs systems, respectively.

Abstract
Paracetamol (PA) is a ubiquitous non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, mainly used to treat headaches, arthritis and osteoarthritis and other diseases. In this work, a novel label free photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on Bi-CuS/Bi2WO6 has been developed for the detection of PA, which was fabricated by a simple two-step hydrothermal process. It was found that Bi-CuS/Bi2WO6 with a CuS/Bi2WO6 heterojunction and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of Bi possesses enhanced charge transfer and absorption wavelengths under visible light, particularly when compared to pristine Bi2WO6 films, thus producing an increase in the observed photocurrent. The photocurrent was increased after adding PA. And the photocurrent increment was linear with PA concentration in the range from 0.01-60 μM with a detection limit of 2.12 nM. Moreover, the PEC sensor also exhibited high anti-interference property and acceptable stability. In the present study, a Bi-CuS/Bi2WO6 photoelectrode is considered a promising candidate for carrying out PEC analysis.

Abstract
Bi2WO6 (BW) was compounded with different contents of copper sulfide (CuS) by a two-step procedure. The chemical composition and morphology of the materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The results of photoelectrochemical (PEC) tests showed that CuS can improve the PEC performance of semiconductor materials and it has the best performance when the CuS mass fraction is 5%. Therefore, CuS/BW-5% nanocomposite has been constructed as ofloxacin (OFL) drug PEC aptasensors by binding of aptamer receptors. The PEC aptasensor based on CuS/BW-5% has a linear relationship for OFL of 1-12,000 nM and a determination limit of 0.35 nM. Since the photoelectron potential generated by CuS/BW-5% heterojunction reduces the combination of photogenerated electrons and holes CuS/BW-5% has a better photoelectrocatalytic performance. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of a photoelectrochemical aptasensor based on CuS/Bi2WO6 for the determination of OFL.
