Adsorption and Visible Photocatalytic Synergistic Removal of a Cationic Dye with the Composite Material BiVO 4/MgAl-LDHs. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6879. [PMID: 37959476 PMCID: PMC10650294 DOI: 10.3390/ma16216879] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
Adsorption and photocatalysis are effective in removing organic pollutants from wastewater. This study is based on the memory effects of MgAl-layered double hydroxides (MgAl-LDHs) after high-temperature calcination. By introducing bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) during the reformation of the layered structure via contact with water, a composite material BiVO4/MgAl-LDHs with enhanced adsorption and visible light catalytic performance was synthesized. The effects of the calcination temperature, ratio, initial methylene blue (MB) concentration, and catalyst dosage on the adsorption and photocatalytic performance were investigated. The BiVO4/MgAl-LDHs showed better photocatalytic performance than the pure BiVO4 and MgAl-LDHs. Under the optimal conditions, the proportion of MB adsorbed in 20 min was 66.1%, and the percentage of MB degraded during 100 min of photolysis was 92.4%. The composite photocatalyst showed good chemical stability and cyclability, and the adsorption-degradation rate was 86% after four cycles. Analyses of the adsorption and photocatalytic mechanisms for the composite material showed that synergistic adsorption and visible light photocatalysis contributed to the excellent catalytic performance of the BiVO4/MgAl-LDHs. A highly adsorbent photocatalytic composite material exhibiting outstanding performance was prepared via a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly method, providing reference information for the removal of organic pollutants from liquids.

Fe-Ce/Layered Double Hydroxide Heterostructures and Their Derived Oxides: Electrochemical Characterization and Light-Driven Catalysis for the Degradation of Phenol from Water. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:981. [PMID: 36985874 PMCID: PMC10051958 DOI: 10.3390/nano13060981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Fe-Ce/layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized via a facile route by exploiting the "structural memory" of the LDH when the calcined MgAlLDH and ZnAlLDH were reconstructed in the aqueous solutions of FeSO4/Ce(SO4)2. XRD analysis shows the formation of heterostructured catalysts that entangle the structural characteristics of the LDHs with those of Fe2O3 and CeO2. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, TG/DTG, SEM/EDX and TEM results reveal a complex morphology defined by the large nano/microplates of the reconstructed LDHs that are tightly covered with nanoparticles of Fe2O3 and CeO2. Calcination at 850 °C promoted the formation of highly crystallized mixed oxides of Fe2O3/CeO2/ZnO and spinels. The photo-electrochemical behavior of Fe-Ce/LDHs and their derived oxides was studied in a three-electrode photo-electrochemical cell, using linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Mott-Schottky (M-S) analysis and photo-electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (PEIS) measurements, in dark or under illumination. When tested as novel catalysts for the degradation of phenol from aqueous solutions, the light-driven catalytic heterojunctions of Fe-Ce/LDH and their derived oxides reveal their capabilities to efficiently remove phenol from water, under both UV and solar irradiation.

Abstract
Over the years, biodegradation has been an effective technique for waste water treatment; however, it has its own limitations. In order to achieve a higher degradation efficacy, integrated processes are being focus in this area. Therefore, the present study is targeted towards the coupling of biodegradation and photocatalytic degradation of p-cresol. The biodegradation of p-cresol was performed via lab isolate Serratia marcescens ABHI001. The obtained results confirmed that ~85% degradation of p-cresol was accomplished using Serratia marcescens ABHI001 strain in 18 h. Consequently, degradation of remaining residue (remaining p-cresol concentration initially used) was also examined in a batch reactor using activated carbon-TiO2 nanocomposite (AC/TiO2-NC) as a catalyst under the exposure of UV radiation. The AC/TiO2-NC was processed via sol-gel technique and characterized by various techniques, namely Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The investigation allowed p-cresol degradation further augment up to ~96% with the help of spectrophotometer trailed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This study demonstrates that integrated process (biodegradation-photodegradation) is the cost-effective bioremediation process to overcome such kinds of pollutant issues.

Abstract
It is well-known that γ-Al2O3 possesses large, specific areas and high thermal, chemical, and mechanical resistance. Due to this, it is the most-used support for catalysts, in this case TiO2, as it enables it to achieve better dispersion and improves the activity in catalytic photodegradation reactions. In a previous work, it was observed that the optimal content of TiO2 in γ-Al2O3 was around 15% since the degradation of phenol results were maximized and a synergistic effect was generated by the interaction of both oxides. In addition, an increase in acidity crystal size and the generation of localized, oxygen-vacant, electronic states in the forbidden band of γ-Al2O3, were observed. This study focuses on the effect of the calcination temperature on a γ-Al2O3-TiO2 catalyst (15% w/w of TiO2) and its impact on photocatalytic activity. The catalysts prepared here were characterized by X-ray diffraction, N2 adsorption–desorption, FTIR-pyridine adsorption, MAS-NMR, HRTEM-FFT, UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy.

Abstract
Converting CO2 to renewable fuels or valuable carbon compounds is an effective way to solve the global warming and energy crisis. Compared with other CO2 conversion methods, photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is more energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and has a broader application prospect. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) has attracted widespread attention as a two-dimensional material, composed of metal hydroxide layers, interlayer anions and water molecules. This review briefly introduces the basic theory of photocatalysis and the mechanism of CO2 reduction. The composition and properties of LDH are introduced. The research progress on LDH in the field of photocatalytic reduction of CO2 is elaborated from six aspects: directly as a catalyst, as a precursor for a catalyst, and by modification, intercalation, supporting with other materials and construction of a heterojunction. Finally, the development prospects of LDH are put forward. This review could provide an effective reference for the development of more efficient and reasonable photocatalysts based on LDH.

Simultaneous photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium and oxidation of p-cresol over AgO decorated on fibrous silica zirconia. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2021; 285:117490.

Abstract
The co-existence of heavy metals and organic compounds including Cr(VI) and p-cresol (pC) in water environment becoming a challenge in the treatment processes. Herein, the synchronous photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) and oxidation of pC by silver oxide decorated on fibrous silica zirconia (AgO/FSZr) was reported. In this study, the catalysts were successfully developed using microemulsion and electrochemical techniques with various AgO loading (1, 5 and 10 wt%) and presented as 1, 5 and 10-AgO/FSZr. Catalytic activity was tested towards simultaneous photoredox of hexavalent chromium and p-cresol (Cr(VI)/pC) and was ranked as followed: 5-AgO/FSZr (96/78%) > 10-AgO/FSZr (87/61%) > 1-AgO/FSZr (47/24%) > FSZr (34/20%). The highest photocatalytic activity of 5-AgO/FSZr was established due to the strong interaction between FSZr and AgO and the lowest band gap energy, which resulted in less electron-hole recombination and further enhanced the photoredox activity. Cr(VI) ions act as a bridge between the positive charge of catalyst and cationic pC in pH 1 solution which can improve the photocatalytic reduction and oxidation of Cr(VI) and pC, respectively. The scavenger experiments further confirmed that the photogenerated electrons (e-) act as the main species for Cr(VI) to be reduced to Cr(III) while holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals are domain for photooxidation of pC. The 5-AgO/FSZr was stable after 5 cycles of reaction, suggesting its potential for removal of Cr(VI) and pC simultaneously in the chemical industries.

Abstract
Multiple contaminants including heavy metals and phenolic compounds are normally co-exist in wastewater, which caused the treatment process is rather complicated. Herein, the synergistic photoredox of Cr(VI) and p-cresol (pC) by innovative fibrous silica zirconia (FSZr) photocatalyst was reported. The high surface area of FSZr comprised of microspheres with a bicontinuous concentric lamella structure morphology consisted of silica, while its core consisted of ZrO2 structure. The rearrangement of FSZr framework increased the crystallinity, formed Si-O-Zr bonds and narrowed the band gap of ZrO2 for enhanced of photoredox of Cr(VI) and pC. Compared to the reaction, the photoredox efficiency of FSZr for removing Cr(VI) and pC in simultaneous system was found to be 96 % and 59 %, respectively which are higher than that in its single system owing to the efficient electron-hole charge separation. Phenolic compound with high degree of electron donating group gave beneficial effect to photoreduction of Cr(VI). Consequently, a proposed mechanism involving multi-photoredox pathway were proposed based on photoredox reaction and scavengers studies. FSZr sustained the simultaneous photoredox activities after five runs demonstrating its possibility to be use in the wastewater treatment of various pollutants.

Designing Dual-Function Nanostructures for Water Purification in Sunlight. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020. [DOI: 10.3390/app10051786] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The current study aims at combining two building blocks together into well-designed nanostructures to act as dual-function materials; active photocatalysts in sunlight and effective adsorbents for increasing the efficiency of water purification. By these nanostructures, we could avoid the drawbacks of the existing technologies for water purification and remove the industrial pollutants by a dual process; adsorption and photocatalytic degradation. In this trend, Zn-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are combined with graphene oxide to produce a series of nanolayered structures. These nanolayered structures are effective for converting Zn-Al LDHs to be photo-active in sunlight through decreasing its band gap energy from 5.5 eV to 2.5 eV. In addition, these nanolayered structures caused complete decolorization and mineralization of green dyes in sunlight through accelerating the reaction rate of the photocatalytic degradation of dyes seven times higher than that of the pure Zn-Al LDHs. In the same time, they improved the adsorption process of green dyes through creating new micro- and meso-porous structures and high surface area for Zn-Al LDHs. Finally, the well-designed nanostructures between Zn-Al LDHs and graphene oxide led to converting non-photoactive materials to be active in the visible light in addition to a complete and fast removal for organic pollutants.

Abstract
This study evaluated the photocatalytic activity of polyaniline (PANI)-capped titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (TiO2/ZnO) hybrid, for the degradation of P-Cresol. The hybrid was synthesized by precipitating ZnO on the surface of commercial TiO2. An "in situ" chemical oxidative polymerization method was used to prepare the PANI capped hybrid (TiO2/ZnO/PANI). The photocatalysts were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), a Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) analyzer, Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and photoluminescence spectroscopies, high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). During photodegradation under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, ZnO, TiO2, TiO2/ZnO hybrid and TiO2/ZnO/PANI composite had P-Cresol removal of 43%, 50%, 61% and 99%, respectively. The higher activity of the TiO2/ZnO hybrid as compared to TiO2 and ZnO was attributed to a reduced electron-hole pair recombination. The recombination was further significantly reduced upon introduction of PANI; hence, the highest activity observed with TiO2/ZnO/PANI. The initial reaction rate constant for TiO2/ZnO/PANI (0.9679 min-1) was more than twice compared to that for TiO2/ZnO hybrid (0.1259 min-1). A synergistic effect between PANI and TiO2/ZnO resulted in a highly efficient charge separation caused by the transfer of photogenerated holes from the hybrid to highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO) of PANI. The best TiO2/ZnO/PANI (PANI to TiO2/ZnO) ratio observed was 0.5:2 for the photodegradation of P-Cresol. Total organic carbon (TOC) analysis indicated a 97.4% mineralization of P-Cresol with PANI/TiO2/ZnO.

Abstract
In this study, ZnAlTi layered double hydroxide (ZnAlTi-LDH) combined with fullerene (C60) was fabricated by the urea method, and calcined under vacuum atmosphere to obtain nanocomposites of C60-modified ZnAlTi layered double oxide (ZnAlTi-LDO). The morphology, structure and composition of the nanocomposites were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy, High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns, Fourier transform infrared and specific surface area. The UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra indicated that the incorporation of C60 expanded the absorption of ZnAlTi-LDO to visible-light region. The photo-degradation experiment was conducted by using a series of C60 modified ZnAlTi-LDO with different C60 weight percentage to degrade Bisphenol A (BPA) under simulated visible light irradiation. In this experiment, the degradation rate of C60 modified ZnAlTi-LDO in photo-degradation of BPA under simulated visible light irradiation was over 80%. The intermediates formed in the degradation of BPA process by using LDO/C60-5% were 4-hydroxyphenyl-2-propanol, 4-isopropenylphenol and Phenol. Photogenerated holes, superoxide radical species, ·OH and singlet oxygen were considered to be responsible for the photodegradation process, among which superoxide radical species and ·OH played a predominant role in the photocatalytic reaction system. C60 modified ZnAlTi-LDO catalysts for photocatalytic reduction shows great potential in degradation of organic pollutants and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Flaky layered double hydroxides (FLDH) composed of cross-linked nanoflakes were prepared by the reconstruction of their oxides in alkali solution. The effect of reconstruction temperatures on the physicochemical properties was investigated. FLDH with a specific surface area of as high as 217 m(2)/g was obtained at a reconstruction temperature of 6 °C, and its derived flaky mixed metal oxides (FMMO) had a specific surface area of 249 m(2)/g. The ZnO nanoparticles were homogeneously deposited on the surface of the FLDH by coprecipitation. After calcination at 500 °C for 2 h, the ZnO-coated FLDH was transformed into ZnO-coated flaky mixed metal oxides (FMMO). The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope, N(2) adsorption-desorption isotherm, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the presence of FLDH as a support, the ZnO nanoparticles were of about 10 nm in size and showed higher photocatalytic decomposition of acid red G than bare ZnO powder prepared under similar experimental conditions. It should be noted that the ZnO-coated FMMO combined excellent adsorption with photocatalytic activity. The flaky structure of mixed metal oxides appears to play important roles in the adsorption and photodecomposition process.
