[PMID: 37715903 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-023-29776-z] [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: 02/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/18/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we have fabricated a novel Fenton-like ferrihydrite/MoS2 (Fh/MoS2) composite and verified that the introduction of a small amount of iron on the surface of MoS2 can directly promote the exposure of Mo4+, finally enhancing the catalytic activity of the catalyst. Even though the content of iron element is only 1.19% in the composite, the reaction rate constant of Fh/MoS2 system for the degradation of environmental pollutants, such as organic dyes, antibiotic, and ionic liquid, is all much better than that of pure MoS2 system, which is attributed to much more generation of reactive oxygen species derived from synergistic effect of Fe3+/Fe2+ and Mo4+/Mo6+ redox cycles. The results of XPS and low-temperature EPR confirm that the exposure amount of Mo4+ active sites of 10% Fh/MoS2 is greatly increased, which is conducive to the conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+ in the reaction process, thus effectively promoting the activation of H2O2.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13030576.

Abstract
Iodine is a nuclide of crucial concern in radioactive waste management. Nanomaterials selectively adsorb iodine from water; however, the efficient application of nanomaterials in engineering still needs to be developed for radioactive wastewater deiodination. Artemia egg shells possess large surface groups and connecting pores, providing a new biomaterial to remove contaminants. Based on the Artemia egg shell-derived biochar (AES biochar) and in situ precipitation and reduction of cuprous, we synthesized a novel nanocomposite, namely porous biochar-confined nano-Cu2O/Cu0 (C-Cu). The characterization of C-Cu confirmed that the nano-Cu2O/Cu0 was dispersed in the pores of AES biochar, serving in the efficient and selective adsorption of iodide and iodate ions from water. The iodide ion removal by C-Cu when equilibrated for 40 min exhibited high removal efficiency over the wide pH range of 4 to 10. Remarkable selectivity towards both iodide and iodate ions of C-Cu was permitted against competing anions (Cl-/NO3-/SO42-) at high concentrations. The applicability of C-Cu was demonstrated by a packed column test with treated effluents of 1279 BV. The rapid and selective removal of iodide and iodate ions from water is attributed to nanoparticles confined on the AES biochar and pore-facilitated mass transfer. Combining the advantages of the porous biochar and nano-Cu2O/Cu0, the use of C-Cu offers a promising method of iodine removal from water in engineering applications.

Abstract
Energy storage and environmental pollution are two major global concerns in today's scenario. As a result of the momentous exhaustion of fossil fuels, the generation of energy from renewable sources is gaining immense importance. However, the irregular availability of energy from these renewable sources is the major encounter to achieve sustainable energy harvesting technology, yielding efficient but continuous and reliable energy supplies. Apart from the requirement of state-of-the-art heavy-duty technologies such as transportation, defense, etc., in the modern lifestyle to fulfill the demand for flexible electronic devices, the development of high-performance mechanically flexible all-solid-state supercapacitors is increasing massively. On the other hand, to cater to the need for accessibility of clean water for healthy lives, several technologies are evolving to treat wastewater and groundwater. Hence, the development of efficient catalysts for destroying water pollutants is an attractive approach. Considering these two crucial facets, in this paper, we have demonstrated the multifunctional features of a CuFe2O4-rGO nanocomposite, which was exploited to fabricate a high-performance mechanically flexible all-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor and simultaneously used as an efficient but easily recoverable catalyst for the transformation of different nitroaromatic compounds. We have also demonstrated the conversion of trifluralin (a herbicide), which is present in the water body as a pollutant, to its corresponding amine derivatives, which can be utilized in the preparation of important pharmaceutical products.

Abstract
The direct ethanol fuel cells in an alkaline medium have a broad vision of applications because of their large energy density, reasonable power density, and environmentally friendly features. Herein, we present a facile one-step method to synthesize PdAg nanosheet assemblies (NSAs) in a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylformamide and water with the addition of molybdenum hexacarbonyl and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Pure Pd NSA shows an irregular shape while PdAg NSAs gradually undergo a process from solid assembly to a hollow structure with the Pd/Ag molar ratio changing from 3:1 to 2:1 to 1:1. The formation of alloy nanosheets in the assemblies combined with the introduction of Ag in the Pd catalyst enhances the catalytic activity toward ethanol electrooxidation from 1524 mA mg-1 of pure Pd NSA to 1866 mA mg-1 of PdAg NSA with a Pd/Ag molar ratio of 2:1. On the basis of the experimental data, compared with pure Pd structures, both the nature of a thin nanosheet of PdAg NSAs and the structural changes in the alloy assemblies play key roles in determining the electrocatalytic activity of these Pd-based catalysts.

Abstract
Composite materials have revealed remarkable activities in various catalytic applications. However, choosing an appropriate material to enhance the catalytic activity and stability is a major challenge in the field of catalysis. In this article, we reported vanadium phosphorus oxide (VPO)/β-SiC as a stable composite material with good catalytic activity. VPO/β-SiC composite materials with different compositions were fabricated by the impregnation technique to investigate the catalytic activity and stability of these materials in liquid-phase reactions. The physiochemical characteristics of the prepared catalysts were analyzed by several spectroscopic methods. The catalytic activities of VPO/β-SiC composites were studied in a solvent-free oxidation of methanol using tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as an oxidant. The reaction conditions were optimized by changing various reaction parameters. Under optimized reaction conditions, the 10 wt % VPO/β-SiC composite showed 100% conversion with 89.8% selectivity to formaldehyde.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), as a kind of transition metal dichalcogenide, has been widely studied for its excellent compatibility with most of inorganic nanomaterials. Nevertheless, its microscale and agglomeration limit the performance severely. Therefore, the special structure of V-MoS2 has drawn a lot of interest, which can not only reduce the size of MoS2 nanosheets but also improve the valence electron structure of the materials. In this work, SrTiO3@MoS2 composite nanofibers were synthesized by the simple electrospinning and hydrothermal method, and it was applied as a novel material for photodetector. SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, I-T curves, and EIS analysis were used to study the structure and properties of the prepared SrTiO3@MoS2 composite nanofibers. Simulating under sunlight at a potential of 1.23 V, the prepared composite materials exhibited a superior photoelectric performance of photocurrent density of 21.4 μA and a resistance of 2.3 Ω. These results indicate that the composite of SrTiO3 nanofiber adhered with V-MoS2 has a stable composite structure, good electrical conductivity, and photoelectric sensitivity and is a suitable material for photodetectors. This work provides new ideas for the preparation of self-assembled materials and their application in photodetectors.

Abstract
The large amount of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) wastewater produced by the chemical industry has received increased concern over the growing risk of environmental pollution. The ability to catalyze the reduction of highly concentrated 4-NP wastewater is highly desirable for the practical treatment of industrial wastewater, yet it remains a significant challenge. Herein, we report Pd nanoparticle-decorated 3D-printed hierarchically porous TiO2 scaffolds (Pd/TiO2 scaffolds) for the efficient reduction of highly concentrated 4-NP wastewater (2 g·L-1, ∼14.38 mM). The millimeter-sized interconnected channels in the scaffolds are conducive to rapid mass and ion transportation; meanwhile, the abundant micrometer- and nanometer-sized pores on the surface of the scaffolds offer adequate anchoring sites for Pd nanoparticles. The turnover frequency of the hierarchically porous Pd/TiO2 scaffold (16 layers) is up to 2.69 min-1, which is 1063 times higher than that of the Pd/TiO2-bulk material with the same size (0.00253 min-1). Importantly, no obvious deactivation of the catalytic activity is observed even after 20 cycles of catalytic reduction of 4-NP, showing excellent catalytic stability and reusability. Our strategy of loading the nanostructured catalyst on 3D-printable hierarchically porous structures put forward a flexible and versatile approach for boosting the catalytic performance of the catalysts, including catalytic activity, stability, and reusability, which can help promote their practical application in industry.

Abstract
SiO2@GdPO4:Tb@SiO2 nanoparticles with core-shell-shell structure were successfully synthesized by a cheap silane coupling agent grafting method at room temperature. This method not only homogeneously coated rare-earth phosphate nanoparticles on the surface of silica spheres but also saved the use of rare-earth resources. The obtained nanoparticles consisted of SiO2 core with a diameter of approximately 210 nm, GdPO4:Tb intermediate shell with thickness of approximately 7 nm, and SiO2 outer shell with thickness of approximately 20 nm. This unique core-shell-shell structured nanoparticles exhibited strong luminescence properties compared with GdPO4:Tb nanoparticles. The core-shell-shell structured nanoparticles can effectively quench the intrinsic fluorescence of bovine serum albumin through a static quenching mode. The as-synthesized nanoparticles show great potential in biological cell imaging and cancer treatment.

Abstract
New self-assembled hydrogel materials of poly(vinyl alcohol)/cyclodextrin-modified poly(acrylic acid)/azobenzene-modified poly(acrylic acid) (PVA/PAA-CD/PAA-Azo) were successfully prepared via host-guest interactions and hydrogen bonds. The as-prepared hydrogel materials were characterized by various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and specific surface area tests. The prepared hydrogels with different concentrations of PVA exhibited different network structures. In addition, ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation and temperature change induce a gel-sol phase transition in the hydrogel materials. The obtained hydrogel materials could be used as good adsorbents for two model organic dye molecules, which was mainly due to electrostatic interactions between methylene blue/rhodamine B (MB/RhB) and the gels in the adsorption process. In particular, the adsorption processes of the as-prepared hydrogel materials conformed to the pseudo-first-order model with a high correlation coefficient, which indicates that gel has a potential application in the field of wastewater purification.

Abstract
Two kinds of layered double hydroxide (LDH) Langmuir composite films containing azobenzene (Azo) groups were successfully prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technology. Then, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD), a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and an atomic force microscope (AFM) were used to investigate the structures of NiFe-LDH and the uniform morphologies of the composite LB films. The photoisomerization and acid-base gas sensor performances of the obtained thin film samples were tested by infrared visible (FTIR) spectroscropy and ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscropy. It is proved that the Azo dye molecules in the composite film are relatively stable to photoisomerization. In addition, the prepared composite films have high sensing sensitivity and good recyclability for acid-base response gases. The present research proposes a new clue for designing thin film materials for chemical gas response with good stability and sensitivity.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene imine) (PEI) has abundant amino groups in a macromolecular chain and can be used as a graft source for metal nanocomposites, which shows excellent ability to form stable complexes with heavy metal ions. In this work, a simple and convenient method was used to make PEI into a stable hydrogel with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide-N-hydroxysuccinimide and subsequently coprecipitate with silver nitrate solution or palladium chloride solution to form metal-loaded composite hydrogels. In addition, the characterizations of composite hydrogels were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, specific surface area tests (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and ultraviolet spectroscopy. The properties of composite hydrogels on the catalytic reduction of 4-nitrophenol were studied. The results showed that the composite hydrogels could be easily separated from the water environment, which indicated the large-scale potential application in organic catalytic degradation and wastewater treatment.

Abstract
A conductive hydrogel is a composite conductive material formed by combining a conductive polymer with a nanogel structure of a hydrogel. Conductive hydrogels not only have potential applications in supercapacitors, sensors, and modulators, they can also be synthesized by many methods, such as copolymerization, crosslinking, and grafting. In this work, we successfully prepared three conductive composite hydrogels by in situ polymerization, namely polypyrrole sodium alginate conductive hydrogel, ferric chloride-doped polypyrrole sodium alginate hydrogel and doped polypyrrole sodium alginate hydrogel with sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate. In addition, a series of characterizations were performed for the three conductive hydrogels described above. The results show that the polypyrrole sodium alginate hydrogel doped with ferric chloride forms a nanofiber network with a more stable structure and better electrochemical performance. New functional components-doped conductive polypyrrole composite hydrogels are prepared via a self-assembled process, demonstrating potential applications in catalysis as well as electrochemical materials.![]()

Abstract
In this study, natural polymer material chitosan (CS) and graphene oxide (GO) with large specific surface area were used to prepare a new CS/RGO-based composite hydrogel by using glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross-linking agent. In addition, a CS/GA/RGO/Pd composite hydrogel was prepared by loading palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs). The morphologies and microstructures of the prepared hydrogels were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, TG, and BET. The catalytic performance of the CS/GA/RGO/Pd composite hydrogel was analyzed, and the experimental results showed that the CS/GA/RGO/Pd composite hydrogel had good catalytic performance for degradation of p-nitrophenol (4-NP) and o-nitroaniline (2-NA). Therefore, this study has potential application prospect in wastewater treatment and provides new information for composite hydrogel design. New functional CS/GA/RGO/Pd composite hydrogels are prepared via a self-assembly process, demonstrating potential applications in catalysis as well as composite materials.![]()

Abstract
The construction of heterojunctions provides a promising strategy to improve photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. However, how to fabricate a nanoscale TiO2/g-C3N4 heterostructure and hinder the aggregation of bulk g-C3N4 using simple methods remains a challenge. In this work, we use a simple in situ construction method to design a heterojunction model based on molecular self-assembly, which uses a small molecule matrix for self-integration, including coordination donors (AgNO3), inorganic titanium source (Ti(SO4)2) and g-C3N4 precursor (melamine). The self-assembled porous g-C3N4 nanotube can hamper carrier aggregation and it provides numerous catalytic active sites, mainly via the coordination of Ag+ ions. Meanwhile, the TiO2 NPs are easily mineralized on the nanotube template in dispersive distribution to form a heterostructure via an N-Ti bond of protonation, which contributes to shortening the interfacial carrier transport, resulting in enhanced electron-hole pairs separation. Originating from all of the above synergistic effects, the obtained Ag/TiO2/g-C3N4 heterogenous photocatalysts exhibit an enhanced H2 evolution rate with excellent sustainability 20.6-fold-over pure g-C3N4. Our report provides a feasible and simple strategy to fabricate a nanoscale heterojunction incorporating g-C3N4, and has great potential in environmental protection and water splitting.

Abstract
With the rapid development of industry, the problem of environmental pollution has become increasingly prominent. Exploring and preparing green, efficient, and low cost catalysts has become the key challenge for scientists. However, some conventional preparation methods are limited by conditions, such as cumbersome operation, high energy consumption, and high pollution. Here, a simple and efficient seed-mediated method was designed and proposed to synthesize a highly efficient bimetallic catalyst for catalyzing nitro compounds. A Pd-Cu bimetallic composite (BCM) can be prepared by synthesizing the original seed crystal of precious metal palladium, then growing the mature nanocrystalline palladium and supporting the transition metal copper. Importantly, after eight consecutive catalytic cycles, the conversion of the catalyzed 2-NA was 84%, while the conversion of the catalyzed 4-NP was still 72%. And the catalytic first order rates of 2-NA and 4-NP constants were 0.015 s-1, and 0.069 s-1, respectively. Therefore, current research of nanocomposites catalyst showed great significance for serious environmental pollution problems and the protection of living environment, providing a new idea for the preparation of new bimetallic catalytic materials.
