Abstract
The emergence of multi-drug resistance (MDR) in aquatic pathogens and the presence of cationic dyes are the leading causes of water contamination on a global scale. In this context, nanotechnology holds immense promise for utilizing various nanomaterials with catalytic and antibacterial properties. This study aimed to evaluate the catalytic and bactericidal potential of undoped and Sr-doped Cr2O3 nanostructures (NSs) synthesized through the co-precipitation method. In addition, the morphological, optical, and structural properties of the resultant NSs were also examined. The optical bandgap energy of Cr2O3 has been substantially reduced by Sr doping, as confirmed through extracted values from absorption spectra recorded by UV-Vis studies. The field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs illustrate that the composition of Cr2O3 primarily consisted of agglomerated, irregularly shaped NSs with a morphology resembling nanoflakes. Moreover, the presence of Sr in the lattice of Cr2O3 increased the roughness of the resulting NSs. The catalytic activity of synthesized NSs was analyzed by their reduction ability of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye in the dark under different pH conditions. Their antibacterial activity was evaluated against MDR Escherichia coli (E. coli). Sr doping increased antibacterial efficiency against MDR E. coli, as indicated by inhibition zone measurements of 10.15 and 11.75 mm at low and high doses, respectively. Furthermore, a molecular docking analysis was conducted to determine the binding interaction pattern between NSs and active sites in the target cell protein. The findings corroborated antimicrobial test results indicating that Sr-Cr2O3 is the most effective inhibitor of FabH and DHFR enzymes.

Abstract
Pb(III) sorption to hydrous amorphous SiO2 was studied as a function of pH and ionic strength using XAS to characterize the sorption products formed. Pb sorption increased with increasing pH and decreasing ionic strength. The XAS data indicated that the mechanism of Pb(II) sorption to the SiO2 surface was pH-dependent. At pH < 4.5, a mononuclear inner-sphere Pb sorption complex with ionic character dominated the Pb surface speciation. Between pH 4.5 and pH 5.6, sorption increasingly occurred via the formation of surface-attached covalent polynuclear Pb species, possibly Pb-Pb dimers, and these were the dominant Pb complexes at pH > or = 6.3. Decreasing ionic strength from I = 0.1 to I = 0.005 M NaClO4 significantly increased Pb sorption but did not strongly influence the average local coordination environment of sorbed Pb at given pH, suggesting that the formation of mononuclear and polynuclear Pb complexes at the surface were coupled; possibly, Pb monomers control the formation of Pb polynuclear species by diffusion along the surface, or they act as nucleation centers for additional Pb uptake from solution. This study shows that the effectiveness of SiO2 in retaining Pb(II) is strongly dependent on solution conditions. At low pH, Pb(II) may be effectively remobilized by competition with other cations, whereas sorbed Pb is expected to become less susceptible to desorption with increasing pH. However, unlike for Ni(II) and Co(II), no lead phyllosilicates are formed at these higher pH values; therefore, SiO2 is expected to be a less effective sink for Pb immobilization than for these other metals.
