Abstract
In the current study, cellulose/MoS2/GO nanocomposite has been synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Reports published regarding efficiency of Mo and graphene oxide-based nanocomposites for environmental remediation motivated to synthesize cellulose supported MoS2/GO nanocomposite. Formation of nanocomposite was initially confirmed by UV-visible and FTIR spectroscopic techniques. Particle size and morphology of the nanocomposite were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and it was found having particle size ranging from 50 to 80 nm and heterogeneous structure. The XRD analysis also confirmed the structure of the nanocomposite having cellulose, MoS2, and GO. The synthesized nanocomposite was further tested for biomolecule protective potential employing different radical scavenging assays. Results of radical DPPH● (50%) and ABTS ●+ (51%) scavenging studies indicate that nanocomposites can be used as a biomolecule protective agent. In addition, nanocomposite was also evaluated for photocatalytic potential, and the results showed excellent photocatalytic properties for the degradation of 4-nitrophenol up to 75% and methylene blue and methyl orange up to 85% and 70%, respectively. So, this study confirmed that cellulose supported/stabilized MoS2/GO nanocomposite can be synthesized by an ecofriendly, cost-effective, and easy hydrothermal method having promising biomolecule protective and photocatalytic potential.

Experimental and theoretical study of catalytic dye degradation and bactericidal potential of multiple phase Bi and MoS 2 doped SnO 2 quantum dots †. RSC Adv 2023; 13:10861-10872. [PMID: 37033429 PMCID: PMC10077344 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra00698k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present study, different concentrations (1 and 3%) of Bi were incorporated into a fixed amount of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) by co-precipitation technique. This research aimed to increase the efficacy of dye degradation and bactericidal behavior of SnO2. The high recombination rate of SnO2 can be decreased upon doping with two-dimensional materials (MoS2 nanosheets) and Bi metal. These binary dopants-based SnO2 showed a significant role in methylene blue (MB) dye degradation in various pH media and antimicrobial potential as more active sites are provided by nanostructured MoS2 and Bi3+ is responsible for producing a variety of different oxygen vacancies within SnO2. The prepared QDs were described via morphology, optical characteristics, elemental composition, functional group, phase formation, crystallinity, and d-spacing. In contrast, antimicrobial activity was checked at high and low dosages against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and the inhibition zone was calculated utilizing a Vernier caliper. Furthermore, prepared samples have expressed substantial antimicrobial effects against E. coli. To further explore the interactions between the MB and Bi/MoS2–SnO2 composite, we modeled and calculated the MB adsorption using density functional theory and the Heyd–Scuseria–Ernzerhof hybrid (HSE06) approach. There is a relatively strong interaction between the MB molecule and Bi/MoS2–SnO2 composite. In the present study, different concentrations (1 and 3%) of Bi were incorporated into a fixed amount of molybdenum disulfide and SnO2 quantum dots by co-precipitation technique. This research aimed to increase the efficacy of dye degradation and bactericidal behavior of SnO2.![]()

Abstract
Regarding the cost-effective degradation of diazinon (DIZ), the present study was conducted to develop and UV/iodide process in a photo catalyst reactor. CCD modeling applied and the results shows that the highest R-squared value (adjusted R-squared: 0.9987), the lowest P-value (2.842 e - 10), the lowest AIC (14.54), and the most insignificant lack-of-fit (0.73) belonged to the second-order model. Based on second-order model, the stationary points for time, iodide: DIZ (molar ratio %), DIZ concentration, and pH were 6.99 min, 80.15% iodide: DIZ (molar ratio %), 3.34, mg L-1, and pH 7.34 (- log10[H+]), respectively. The maximum reduction efficiency of 97.22% was obtained at the experimental conditions. The LC-MS analyses from optimal condition implied that all the DIZ molecules and its intermediates breaking to simple compounds during 15 min of processing. The data shown UI process reduced the BOD and COD levels by about 66% and 86.29% within 80 min of photoreaction, respectively. Furthermore, in kinetic investigation, with the increase in DIZ concentration, kobs and robs increased and secondly, the conventional and PCBR reactor kobs increased by about respectively 17% and 50% with an increase in DIZ concentration from 5 to 15 mgL-1. Additionally, when the DIZ concentration increase from 5 to 15 mg L-1, robs increased in the conventional and PCBR reactors respectively about 4.9 and 6 times. Figure-of-merit EEo changed from 12.66-17.41 to 7.26-10.15 kWhm3 for the conventional reactor, and 8.66-13.61 to 5.24-8.12 kWhm3 in PCBR, when the DIZ concentration increasing from 5 to 15 mg L-1. Consequently, in the PCBR reactor, the energy consumption reduced by 14% at 5 mg L-1 DIZ concentration and by 60% at 15 mg L-1 DIZ concentration. Also, total cost of the system (TCS) decreases from 4.52 to 1.46 $ in conventional reactor and 1.47 to 0.42 $ in PCBR reactor when the DIZ concentration increase from 5 to 15 mg L-1.

Abstract
In this work, synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was realized through a modified Hummers route. Different concentrations (5 and 10 wt%) of Ag were doped in MoS2and rGO using a hydrothermal technique. Synthesized Ag-MoS2and Ag-rGO were evaluated through XRD that confirmed the hexagonal structure of MoS2along with the transformation of GO to Ag-rGO as indicated by a shift in XRD peaks while Mo-O bonding and S=O functional groups were confirmed with FTIR. Morphological information of GO and formation of MoS2nanopetals as well as interlayer spacing were verified through FESEM and HRTEM respectively. Raman analysis was employed to probe any evidence regarding defect densities of GO. Optical properties of GO, MoS2, Ag-rGO, and Ag-MoS2were visualized through UV-vis and PL spectroscopy. Prepared products were employed as nanocatalysts to purify industrial wastewater. Experimental results revealed that Ag-rGO and Ag-MoS2showed 99% and 80% response in photocatalytic activity. Besides, the nanocatalyst (Ag-MoS2and Ag-rGO) exhibited 6.05 mm inhibition zones againstS. aureusgram positive (G+) and 3.05 mm forE. coligram negative (G-) in antibacterial activity. To rationalize biocidal mechanism of Ag-doped MoS2NPs and Ag-rGO,in silicomolecular docking study was employed for two enzymes i.e.β-lactamase and D-alanine-D-alanine ligase B (ddlB) from cell wall biosynthetic pathway and enoyl-[acylcarrier-protein] reductase (FabI) from fatty acid biosynthetic pathway belonging toS. aureus. The present study provides evidence for the development of cost-effective, environment friendly and viable candidate for photocatalytic and antimicrobial applications.

Abstract
Abstract
In this study, activated carbon was developed from saw-dust by pyrolysis. The activated carbon was characterized for elemental composition, morphology and surface chemistry. The potential of the prepared activated carbon for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution was investigated. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the adsorption isotherm, kinetic and thermodynamic of MB onto saw-dust activated carbon. The MB removal efficiency was 99.2% and the Lamgmuir isothermal model having correlation coefficient (R
2) of 0.98 gave the best fit. The kinetics of MB adsorption onto activated carbon was described with the pseudo second order model indicates the dominance of chemisorption mechanism. Thermodynamic parameters showed that the adsorption of MB on saw dust activated carbon adsorbent was endothermic in nature and a non-spontaneous process. The activation energy of 34.7 kJ/mol further reveals that the adsorption process was chemisorption. Generally, the results suggest that the saw-dust activated carbon is a viable adsorbent for effective removal of MB from wastewater effluent contaminated with dye.

Abstract
In the present project, graft polymerization was employed to synthesis a novel adsorbent using acrylic acid (AA) and xanthan gum (XG) for cationic methylene dye (MB+) removal from aqueous solution. The XG was rapidly grafted with acrylic acid (CH2=CHCOOH) under microwave heating. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Proton Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) techniques were used to verify the adsorbent formed under optimized reaction conditions. Optimum reaction conditions [AA (0.4M), APS (0.05M), XG (2gL-1), MW power (100%), MW time (80s)] offer maximum %G and %GE of 484 and 78.3, respectively. The removal ratio of adsorbent to MB+ reached to 92.8% at 100mgL-1. Equilibrium and kinetic adsorptions of dyes were better explained by the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo second-order kinetic model respectively. The results demonstrate xanthan gum grafted polyacrylic acid (mw XG-g-PAA) absorbent had the universality for removal of dyes through the chemical adsorption mechanism.
