Abstract
The oxalic acid complexation method and sulfuric acid heat treatment method were used to synthesize the YMnO3 (YMO) and YMO-SO4 2- (YMO-SO) photocatalysts. The YMO-SO photocatalyst maintained the crystal structure of YMO, but the particle size increased slightly and the optical band gap decreased significantly. The YMO-SO photocatalyst demonstrates a wide range of light absorption capabilities, covering ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared light. The photocatalytic activity of YMO-SO was investigated with ibuprofen as the target pollutant. The YMO-SO photocatalyst exhibits high ultraviolet (UV), visible and near-infrared photocatalytic activity. Experiments with different environmental parameters confirmed that the best catalyst content was 1 g/L, the best drug concentration was 75 mg/L and the best pH value was 7. The capture experiment, free radical detection experiment and photocatalytic mechanism analysis confirmed that the main active species of YMO-SO photocatalyst were hole and superoxide free radical.

Abstract
One-step hydrothermal method has been used to synthesize YMnO3@NiO (YMO@NO) photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity for the degradation of oil and gas field wastewater under simulated solar irradiation. Through various characterization methods, it has been confirmed that the YMO@NO photocatalyst comprises only YMO and NO, without any other impurities. The microstructure characterization confirmed that the YMO@NO photocatalyst was composed of large squares and fine particles, and heterojunction was formed at the interface of YMO and NO. The optical properties confirm that the YMO@NO photocatalyst has high UV-vis optical absorption coefficient, suggesting that it has high UV-vis photocatalytic activity. Taking oil and gas field wastewater as degradation object, YMO@NO photocatalyst showed the highest photocatalytic activity (98%) when the catalyst content was 1.5 g/L, the mass percentage of NO was 3%, and the irradiation time was 60 min. Capture and stability experiments confirm that the YMO@NO photocatalyst is recyclable and electrons, holes, hydroxyl radicals and superoxide radicals play major roles in the photocatalysis process. Based on experiments and theoretical calculations, a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism of the YMO@NO photocatalyst is proposed.

Unraveling the potential of sonochemically achieved DyMnO 3/Dy 2O 3 nanocomposites as highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalysts in decolorization of organic contamination. ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2024; 269:115801.

Abstract
In the present day, the widespread presence of lingering contaminants in ecosystems has prompted scientists to develop novel semiconductor nanoarchitectures that assist in photocatalytic reactions mediated by visible light. As a result, we propose to prepare a series of Dy-Mn-O based nano-catalysts using a sonochemical approach utilizing various ionic phases of surfactants as structure-directing agents. In this study, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement techniques were used to explore the fundamental effects of surfactants on the compositional-structural features of the materials. In terms of morphological profiles, DyMnO3/Dy2O3 (DM) nanostructures fabricated with Triton X-80 as a structure-directing agent showed the best uniformity with an acceptable size range between 14.14 and 52.35 nm. In the visible-light-driven photocatalytic domain, these nanocomposites provide high responsiveness based on their optical band gap value of 2.0 eV. According to our findings, two individual factors affect dye activity, namely dye type and concentration, which is why a high decomposition efficiency of 78.8% was obtained for 10 ppm Acid violet (AV) using DyMnO3/Dy2O3 nanocomposites after 120 min of exposure to visible light. Furthermore, radical quenching test confirmation confirmed the mechanistic behind the degradation process. This indicates that active species of O2•- and •OH may play a significant role in photocatalysis. As a result of repeated processes over three consecutive cycles, binary DyMnO3/Dy2O3 nanocomposites had an efficiency of 64.4% in removing dyes from the environment, indicating their high stability.

Abstract
Recently, new methods of utilizing chemistry materials to overcome environmental issues worldwide, for instance, water purification have widely evolved since it is well-aligned with the sustainable development goals 6: clean water and sanitation. These issues have become a vital research topic for researchers in the last decade, particularly, the use of green photocatalyst due to the limitation of renewable resources. Herein, we report the modification of titanium dioxide with yttrium manganite (TiO2/YMnO3) by a novel high-speed stirring technique in n-hexane-water utilizing Annona muricata L. leaf extracts (AMLE). The YMnO3 incorporation in the presence of TiO2 was introduced to accelerate the photocatalytic performance for the degradation of malachite green in aqueous media. TiO2 modification with YMnO3 presented a drastic decline of bandgap energy from 3.34 to 2.38 eV and the highest rate constant (kapp) of 2.275 × 10-2 min-1. Surprisingly, TiO2/YMnO3 exhibited an extraordinary photodegradation efficiency of 95.34%, which was 1.9-fold higher than that of TiO2 under visible light illumination. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the formation of a TiO2/YMnO3 heterojunction, narrower optical band gap, excellent charge carrier separation. H+ and .O2- were the major scavenger species that play a significant role in the photodegradation of malachite green. Additionally, TiO2/YMnO3 shows outstanding stability over five cycles of photocatalytic reaction without significant loss of its effectiveness. This work presents a recent understanding of the green construction of a novel TiO2-based YMnO3 photocatalyst with excellent efficiency in the visible region for environmental technology application in water purification specifically in degrading organic dyes.

Abstract
YMnO3 is a P-type semiconductor with a perovskite-type structure (ABO3). It presents two crystalline systems: rhombohedral and hexagonal, the latter being the most stable and studied. In the hexagonal system, Mn3+ ions are coordinated by five oxygen ions forming a trigonal bipyramid, and the Y3+ ions are coordinated by five oxygen ions. This arrangement favors its ferroelectric and ferromagnetic properties, which have been widely studied since 1963. However, applications based on their optical properties have yet to be explored. This work evaluates the photoelectric response and the photocatalytic activity of yttrium manganite in visible spectrum wavelengths. To conduct this, a rod-obelisk-shaped yttrium manganite with a reduced indirect bandgap value of 1.43 eV in its hexagonal phase was synthesized through the precipitation method. The synthesized yttrium manganite was elucidated by solid-state techniques, such as DRX, XPS, and UV-vis. It was non-toxic as shown by the 100% leukocyte viability of mice BALB/c.

Abstract
Abstract
The alarming energy crises has forced the scientific community to work for sustainable energy modules to meet energy requirements. As for this, ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites with proper heterojunction were fabricated by coupling a proper amount of ZnO with 2D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets and the obtained nanocomposites were applied for photocatalytic hydrogen generation from water under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The morphologies and the hydrogen generation performance of fabricated photocatalysts were characterized in detail. Results showed that the optimized 5ZnO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite produced 70 µmol hydrogen gas in 1 h compare to 8 µmol by pure g-C3N4 under identical illumination conditions in the presence of methanol without the addition of cocatalyst. The much improved photoactivities of the nanocomposites were attributed to the enhanced charge separation through the heterojunction as confirmed from photoluminescence study, capacity of the fabricated samples for •OH radical generation and steady state surface photovoltage spectroscopic (SS-SPS) measurements. We believe that this work would help to fabricate low cost and effective visible light driven photocatalyst for energy production.

Abstract
Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) synthesized via modified Hummers method was studied for adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) dyes from aqueous solutions. It is hypothesized that electrostatic interactions between dye molecules and surface of GO will facilitate charge carrier movements and degrade the dye in an efficient way. The as synthesized GO was characterized using various characterization techniques such as XRD, Raman, FTIR, UV–Vis, SEM and EDAX. The experimental results suggest that dye removal percentage will increase with increase in adsorbent dosage, time as well as solution pH and the process was exothermic in nature. The adsorption data at 293 K could be fitted by Langmuir equation with a maximum adsorption amount of 119.04, 102.4 mg/g and Langmuir adsorption equilibrium constant of 1.58, 0.867 L/mg for MB and MG dyes, respectively. The outcomes of present article will help not only to understand the adsorption characteristics of GO on MB and MG dyes but also paves path towards development of highly oxidized GO surface for degradation of complex dyes.

Abstract
Abstract
The in-situ stabilization of Ag nanoparticles is carried out by the use of reducing agent and synthesized three different types of hydrogen (anionic, cationic, and neutral) template. The morphology, constitution and thermal stability of the synthesized pure and Ag-entrapped hybrid hydrogels were efficiently confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The prepared hybrid hydrogels were used in the decolorization of methylene blue (MB) and azo dyes congo red (CR), methyl Orange (MO), and reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and nitrobenzene (NB) by an electron donor NaBH4. The kinetics of the reduction reaction was also assessed to determine the activation parameters. The hybrid hydrogen catalysts were recovered by filtration and used continuously up to six times with 98% conversion of pollutants without substantial loss in catalytic activity. It was observed that these types of hydrogel systems can be used for the conversion of pollutants from waste water into useful products.
