Abstract
There is a mounting demand for nonlinear optical materials with superior optical limiting performance which has a noticeable impact on protecting the delicate optical components from laser-induced damage. Transition metal molybdates have garnered attention in the nonlinear optics field due to their outstanding optical and luminescent properties, which give rise to widespread applications in next-generation optoelectronics devices. The structural confirmation of the as prepared silver molybdate nanoparticles were made by XRD and Raman spectroscopy analysis. The linear optical properties and the band gap of the synthesized material were studied using UV-Visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy. SEM analysis revealed the pebble like morphology of the silver molybdate nanostructures. The nonlinear responses of the samples were studied using open aperture z-scan approach with Nd:YAG pulsed laser (532 nm, 9 ns, 10 Hz). The sample exhibits reverse saturable absorption pattern attributed to the two photon absorption (2PA) mechanism. The obtained OL threshold value is in the order of 1012 which is suitable for fabricating optical limiters in nano second pulsed laser regime.

Abstract
Novel Ag2MoO4 nanocomposite fibers were designed to enhance the photocatalytic response and supercapacitor performance of MoO3 grown via the sol-gel electrospinning technique. The Ag2MoO4 nanocomposite fibers exhibit a high specific surface area of 49.3 m2 g-1 comprising nanobeads that aggregate in the fibrous structure. The photodegradation efficiency of Ag2MoO4 was evaluated as 62% under visible light irradiation which improved to 71% with heterogeneous photocatalysis. The Ag2MoO4@Ni foam exhibited a low Rct of 19.6 Ω, and an enhanced specific capacitance of 1445 F g-1 was obtained at 1 A g-1, with 93% of its initial capacitance remaining after 5000 cycles. In addition, the Ag2MoO4//activated carbon asymmetric supercapacitor possesses an excellent energy density of 76.6 W h kg-1 at 743.2 W kg-1 and a noteworthy cycling durability of 91% after 5000 cycles. Our findings demonstrate that the electrospun Ag2MoO4@Ni foam is an important and inexpensive electrode material for supercapacitor applications and visible light-driven heterogeneous photocatalysis, drawing on the synergic effects of Ag and Mo to exhibit much better performance.

Abstract
With the increase of organic emissions in production and human life, the pollution control of organic is now an urgent problem in the environmental field. In this study, hydrothermal carbonization rice husk-loaded Al-modified biochar (Al-BC) was synthesized, and the results of scanning electron microscopy could be used to determine that Al oxide composite was loaded on the surface of the material. The specific surface area was 57.049 m2 g-1, pore volume was 0.254 cm3 g-1, and average pore diameter was 8.922 nm for BC and 109.617 m2 g-1, 0.215 cm3 g-1, and 3.969 nm for Al-BC, respectively. The control effects of these two adsorption materials on organic pollutant ibuprofen (IBU) under different pH conditions were also investigated. The research results show that the adsorption capacity of Al-BC (30.24-1.48 mg g-1) is better than BC (19.98-0.92 mg g-1) at pH from 2 to 11. Solution pH plays a crucial role in IBU adsorption from organic solution. The Langmuir fitting results show that at pH = 7, the saturated adsorption capacity of IBU on BC could reach up to 18.68 mg g-1; the adsorption capacity on Al-BC was 60.49 mg g-1. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption is spontaneous, endothermic, and increased disorder. The adsorption material prepared in this study could provide a reference for organic pollution control in water.

Jointly augmented photocatalytic NO removal by S-scheme Bi 12SiO 20/Ag 2MoO 4 heterojunctions with surface oxygen vacancies. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 649:713-723.

Abstract
The deep oxidation of NO molecules to NO3- species with the avoidance of toxic NO2 generation is a big and challengeable concern, which can be solved by the rational design and construction of catalytic systems with satisfactory structural and optical features. For such, in this investigation binary composites Bi12SiO20/Ag2MoO4 (BSO-XAM) were fabricated through a facile mechanical ball-milling route. From microstructural and morphological analyses, heterojunction structures with surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) were simultaneously created, contributing to the enhanced visible-light absorption, reinforced migration and separation of charge carries, and further boosted generation of reactive species such as superoxide radicals and singlet oxygen. Based on the density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, surface OVs induced the strengthened adsorption and activation of O2, H2O, and NO molecules and oxidation of NO to NO2, while heterojunction structures were beneficial for the continuous oxidation of NO2 to NO3- species. Thus, the heterojunction structures with surface OVs synergistically guaranteed the augmented photocatalytic NO removal and constrained NO2 generation of BSO-XAM through a typical S-scheme model. This study may provide scientific guidances for the photocatalytic control and removal of NO at ppb level by Bi12SiO20-based composites through the mechanical ball-milling protocol.

Abstract
The removal of organic dyes and pathogenic bacteria from contaminated water remains a significant challenge. In the present study, S-type heterojunction Ag2MoO4/ZnFe2O4 (AMO/ZFO) composite nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning and co-precipitation and fabricated into photoanodes. It is found that the constructed S-type heterojunction of AMO/ZFO composites effectively inhibits the recombination of photogenerated carriers, in addition to the benefits of more exposed active sites and a greater specific surface area. When several properties are improved, AMO/ZFO composites exhibit excellent photoelectrocatalytic performance. The results demonstrate that under visible light irradiation, the photoelectrocatalytic degradation rate of AMO/ZFO-3 to methylene blue reached 76.2% within 50 min, and the killing rate of Salmonella was 83.6% within 80 min. The enhanced photoelectrocatalytic activity was due to the synergy of both electrochemical and photocatalytic effects. More importantly, after four testing cycles, AMO/ZFO-3 still has a better ability to kill pathogenic bacteria and degrade organic dyes due to its high stability. This work provides a feasible method for oxidizing organic dyes and pathogenic bacteria.

Abstract
In this research, W-doped sodium nanotube titanate (NaTNT) nanoparticles were used for the photocatalytic degradation of the bromophenol blue (BPB) dye. The NaTNT powder was mixed with car's tire powder (TP) to enhance its light absorption or was supported on recycled car's air filters (AFs) to facilitate its removal from the cleaned water after the degradation of the BPB. The SEM analysis indicated that the NaTNT nanoparticles and the TP had sizes in the range of 150-325 nm and 8-37 µm, respectively. Both powders were also studied by X-ray diffraction and found that the sodium titanate corresponds to the Na2Ti6O13 with monoclinic phase, while the TP is formed by rubber, silicon, ZnS, and ZnO. The photocatalytic activity of the NaTNT powder was evaluated for the degradation of BPB dye (20 ppm) and obtained a maximum degradation of 95 and 80% under UV-Vis and natural solar light, respectively, after 4 h of irradiation. For the NaTNT + TP composite mixture, the maximum degradation was 87 and 68% under UV-Vis and solar light, respectively. The NaTNT and NaTNT + TP powders were supported on the AFs to form the AF + NaTNT and AF + NaTNT + TP composites. Those ones produced maximum degradation of 86% and 74% (under UV-Vis light), respectively. Besides, several initial pHs were tested for the contaminated water and determined that the maximum degradation of BPB (93-95%) is reached for the pHs of 3 and 7. Reuse experiments (3 cycles) revealed that the diminution of the BPB degradation percentage was 23% and 20% for the NaTNT and NaTNT + TP powders, respectively. Overall, it was demonstrated that the wasted car's air filters can be used as a support for photocatalytic powders, and this combination of AF + powder degrades the BPB with high efficiency.

Abstract
Nowadays, organic pollutants create severe problems worldwide. Phenolic compounds are the harmful pollutants that are developed from industrial effluents, thus causing several environmental problems. Low-cost materials show good potential capabilities for removal of phenolic compounds but are not so effective, so modification is required. New generation nanocatalysts are thought to be excellent for phenol removal. Removal of phenolic pollutants by photodegradation may lead to the decrement of these problematic groups. In this review, (i) a new generation of catalysts for the removal of phenolic compounds is discussed, (ii) nanocatalysts for photodegradation processes, and (iii) the mechanisms involved in photodegradation processes are also discussed. It is noticeable from the analysis that new generation catalysts for photodegradation processes have been demonstrated for high removal abilities of irrefutable phenolic compounds. Finally, future perspectives are also given in this article for the further development of next-generation catalysts.

Abstract
The present study reports the synthesis, characterization, and antibacterial properties of silver trimolybdate (Ag2Mo3O10.2H2O) nanorods. The synthesis was performed using a conventional hydrothermal method. The sample was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, UV-Vis-NIR diffuse reflectance, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The direct antibacterial activity was evaluated using the microdilution method to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). To assess the ability of Ag2Mo3O10.2H2O nanorods to modulate antibacterial resistance, the MIC of aminoglycosides was established in the presence of a subinhibitory concentration of this substance alone and associated with LED light exposure. The characterization of the sample indicated that the synthesis of silver trimolybdate generated nanometric crystals with rod-like morphology, without secondary phases. The treatment with Ag2Mo3O10.2H2O nanorods alone or combined with visible LED lights exhibited clinically relevant antibacterial activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. This nanostructure presented a variable antibiotic-modulating action, which was not improved by visible LED light exposure. Nevertheless, LED lights showed promising antibiotic-enhancing activities in the absence of Ag2Mo3O10.2H2O nanorods. In conclusion, silver trimolybdate dihydrate nanorods have antibacterial properties that can be photocatalysed by visible-light exposure. While showing the potential use to combat antibacterial resistance, the simultaneous combination of silver trimolybdate, visible LED lights, and antibacterial drugs should be carefully analysed to avoid antagonist effects that could impair the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.

Abstract
Converting solar energy to chemical energy through a photocatalytic reaction is an efficient technique for obtaining a clean and affordable source of energy. The main problem with solar photocatalysts is the recombination of charge carriers and the large band gap of the photocatalysts. The plasmonic noble metal coupled with a semiconductor can give a unique synergetic effect and has emerged as the leading material for the photocatalytic reaction. The LSPR generation by these kinds of materials has proved to be very efficient in the photocatalytic hydrolysis of the hydrogen-rich compound, photocatalytic water splitting, and photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes. A noble metal coupled with a low bandgap semiconductor result in an ideal photocatalyst. Here, both the noble metal and semiconductor can absorb visible light. They tend to produce an electron–hole pair and prevent the recombination of the generated electron–hole pair, which ultimately reacts with the chemicals in the surrounding area, resulting in an enhanced photocatalytic reaction. The enhanced photocatalytic activity credit could be given to the shared effect of the strong SPR and the effective separation of photogenerated electrons and holes supported by noble metal particles. The study of plasmonic metal nanoparticles onto semiconductors has recently accelerated. It has emerged as a favourable technique to master the constraint of traditional photocatalysts and stimulate photocatalytic activity. This review work focuses on three main objectives: providing a brief explanation of plasmonic dynamics, understanding the synthesis procedure and examining the main features of the plasmonic metal nanostructure that dominate its photocatalytic activity, comparing the reported literature of some plasmonic photocatalysts on the hydrolysis of ammonia borane and dye water treatment, providing a detailed description of the four primary operations of the plasmonic energy transfer, and the study of prospects and future of plasmonic nanostructures.

Abstract
A facile synthesis of pristine and g-C3N4 loaded CdWO4 (Cadmium Tungstate) were reported and analyzed the effect of pollutants removal in wastewater. The samples were characterized and the morphology of the pristine sample showed the nanostructures with high cluster of layer formed. While adding PEG (Polyethylene glycol), the surface has exhibited less agglomeration and in g-C3N4 added sample the agglomeration was intensely reduced and nanostructures have been clearly found. Photocatalytic performance on cationic dye was investigated under visible light. The efficiency calculated for g-C3N4- CdWO4 sample was 85% for MB. The C/C0 plot gives better degradation. The kinetic study revealed pseudo first order reaction. The g-C3N4-CdWO4 sample exhibited higher "k" value which proved best efficiency on removing the pollutant. g-C3N4-CdWO4 sample will make better reduction on toxic pollutants and be a good candidate in futuristic applications. By carbon based derivates inclusion with photo active materials, the morphology and surface area was greatly improved and it enhances activity of host material and it will be the promising material for industrial applications.

Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate a combined theoretical and experimental study on the electronic structure, and the optical and electrochemical properties of β-Ag2MoO4 and Ag2O. These crystals were synthesized using the hydrothermal method and were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Rietveld refinement, and TEM techniques. XRD and Rietveld results confirmed that β-Ag2MoO4 has a spinel-type cubic structure. The optical properties were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. DFT+U formalism, via on-site Coulomb corrections for the d orbital electrons of Ag and Mo atoms (Ud) and the 2p orbital electrons of O atoms (Up) provided an improved band gap for β-Ag2MoO4. Examination of the density of states revealed the energy states in the valence and conduction bands of the β-Ag2MoO4 and Ag2O. The theoretical band structure indicated an indirect band gap of approximately 3.41 eV. Furthermore, CO2 electroreduction, and hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions on the surface of β-Ag2MoO4 and Ag2O were studied and a comparative investigation on molybdate-derived silver and oxide-derived silver was performed. The electrochemical results demonstrate that β-Ag2MoO4 and Ag2O can be good electrocatalysts for water splitting and CO2 reduction. The CO2 electroreduction results also indicate that CO2 reduction intermediates adsorbed strongly on the surface of Ag2O, which increased the overpotential for the hydrogen evolution reaction on the surface of Ag2O by as much as 0.68 V against the value of 0.6 V for Ag2MoO4, at a current density of -1.0 mA cm-2.

Abstract
As environmental pollution and energy shortages have become global concerns, the construction of highly efficient catalysts using facile and green methods remains a long-term goal. In the present study, we proposed a facile catalyst preparation method in which Ag/TiO2 composites were coated on the surface of the porous pure inorganic crystalline vanadium phosphates (VPO) by a one-step strategy. More importantly, the in situ reduction of Ag nanoparticles was achieved at room temperature without severe conditions or hydrogen atmosphere in which the porous VPO was employed as the reductant. The prepared Ag/VPO@TiO2 composites act as a class of efficient bifunctional catalysts for visible light photodegradation of MB molecules and catalytic reduction of p-nitrophenol (4-NP). Among these samples, the 6.82%Ag/VPO@TiO2 composite exhibited a superior photocatalytic activity in the degradation of MB and an ultrafast reduction rate for 4-NP of about 0.1 mM/40 s. The photocatalytic mechanistic studies revealed that the encapsulated VPO with a narrow band gap not only efficiently enhances the photosensitivity of the TiO2 but also largely facilitates the photogenerated charge separation. The subsequent deposition of Ag NPs is able to further promote electron transfer ability, which leads to the higher photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the contact of Ag NPs with the surface of semiconductor TiO2 can result in an electron-enhanced area in their interface that could effectively facilitate the uptake of electrons by the 4-NP molecules and then improve the reduction activity.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are the one of sub-class under emerging organic contaminants (EOCs). Ibuprofen is the world's third most consumable drug. This drug enters into our water system through human pharmaceutical use. It attracts the attention of environmentalist on the basis of risk associated, presence and transformation in the environment. The detection and removal are the two key area where we need to focus. The concentration of such compounds in waterbodies detected through conventional and also by the advanced methods. This review we described the available technologies including chemical, physical and biological methods, etc used the for removal of Ibuprofen. The pure culture based method, mixed culture approach and activated sludge culture approach focused and pathway of degradation of ibuprofen was deciphered by using the various methods of structure determination. The various degradation methods used for Ibuprofen are discussed. The advanced methods coupled with physical, chemical, biological, chemical methods like ozonolysis, oxidation and adsorption, nanotechnology based methods, nanocatalysis and use of nonosensors to detect the presence of small amount in waterbodies can enhance the future degradation of this drug. It is necessary to develop the new detection methods to enhance the detection of such pollutants. With the developments in new detection methods based on GC-MS//MS, HPLC, LC/MS and nanotechnology based sensors makes easier detection of these compounds which can detect even very minute amount with great sensitivity and in less time. Also, the isolation and characterization of more potent microbial strains and nano-photocatalysis will significantly increase the future degradation of such harmful compounds from the environment.

Photocatalytic inactivation of Escherischia coli under UV light irradiation using large surface area anatase TiO 2 quantum dots. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2019; 6:191444.

Abstract
In this study, high specific surface areas (SSAs) of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2) quantum dots (QDs) were successfully synthesized through a novel one-step microwave-hydrothermal method in rapid synthesis time (20 min) without further heat treatment. XRD analysis and HR-TEM images showed that the as-prepared TiO2 QDs of approximately 2 nm size have high crystallinity with anatase phase. Optical properties showed that the energy band gap (E g) of as-prepared TiO2 QDs was 3.60 eV, which is higher than the standard TiO2 band gap, which might be due to the quantum size effect. Raman studies showed shifting and broadening of the peaks of TiO2 QDs due to the reduction of the crystallite size. The obtained Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area (381 m2 g-1) of TiO2 QDs is greater than the surface area (181 m2 g-1) of commercial TiO2 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic activities of TiO2 QDs were conducted by the inactivation of Escherischia coli under ultraviolet light irradiation and compared with commercially available anatase TiO2 nanoparticles. The photocatalytic inactivation ability of E. coli was estimated to be 91% at 60 µg ml-1 for TiO2 QDs, which is superior to the commercial TiO2 nanoparticles. Hence, the present study provides new insight into the rapid synthesis of TiO2 QDs without any annealing treatment to increase the absorbance of ultraviolet light for superior photocatalytic inactivation ability of E. coli.

Abstract
The abuse of antibiotics has led to widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and environmental pollution. In order to solve these problems, a lot of studies have been carried out mainly focusing on the modification and recombination of organic reagents, but bacteria are still easy to adapt to it, so they cannot be thoroughly solved. Here, we present an integrated pollution-free synergistic antibacterial nanotechnology using inorganic nano-Cu2O, which could not only enhance the efficacy of aminoglycoside antibiotics, but also eliminate their environmental pollution by photocatalytic degradation. It was found that Cu2O showed significantly synergistic antibacterial effect (1+1>2) when combined with aminoglycoside antibiotics against Escherichia coli. The inhibition zone area increased by 59.0% when Cu2O combined with neomycin. This reduces dosage and the risk of AMR, and does not pollute the environment after degradation. Next, to explore the synergistic mechanisms, we have studied the interaction of antibiotics with nanoparticles, as well as the interaction of antibacterial agents with bacteria. At last, we believe that the destruction of cell walls by Cu2O facilitates the entry of antibiotics into cells is the reason for their synergy.

Facile synthesis of a novel WO 3/Ag 2MoO 4 particles-on-plate staggered type II heterojunction with improved visible-light photocatalytic activity in removing environmental pollutants.

Abstract
A novel WO3/Ag2MoO4 heterojunction has been synthesized through a facile precipitation method with Ag2MoO4 particles firmly deposited on the surface of WO3 nanoplates, forming "particles-on-plate" type II heterojunction structures. This heterojunction exhibited improved photocatalytic activities for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), 4 chlorophenol (4-CP) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) under visible-light irradiation compared to pure Ag2MoO4 and WO3. In addition, the heterojunction with 10 wt% Ag2MoO4 displays the best photocatalytic performance, which was about 2 times better than that of pure WO3 or Ag2MoO4. The TC photodegradation rate reaches up to 91% within 90 min visible light irradiation. Furthermore, the photocatalytic efficiency of the Ag2MoO4/WO3 heterojunction is 1.3 times higher than that of the mixture of the two individual photocatalysts. This remarkable enhanced photocatalytic performance results from the staggered bandgap between Ag2MoO4 and WO3, which can suppress the recombination of electron-hole pairs efficiently. Moreover, based on the radical trapping experiment, the superoxide radical anions (·OH) and photogenerated holes (h+) are the crucial active oxidizing species.

Abstract
Novel AgI/Ag2Mo2O7 heterojunctions were prepared by reacting Ag2Mo2O7 microrods with an aqueous KI solution at room temperature. The composite materials, compared with neat AgI and Ag2Mo2O7, showed much higher activities in the photocatalytic degradation of aqueous rhodamine B, methyl orange, tetracycline hydrochloride, and levofloxacin solutions under visible-light irradiation. The structures, morphologies, and other physicochemical properties of AgI, Ag2Mo2O7, and AgI/Ag2Mo2O7 composites were studied via various characterization techniques. The active species involved in the photocatalytic process were examined via radical-capturing experiments and electron spin resonance. Superoxide anion radicals (•O2 -) and photogenerated holes (h+) were found to be the main active species. Photocatalytic mechanisms were proposed and reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic activity were explained.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) have been deposited on powder P25 by a novel two-step method involving a precipitation reaction and atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma treatment without the use of any environmentally and biologically hazardous reducing agents. The silver precursor is formed in the processing of precipitation reaction and then completely reduced to the metallic state by atmospheric pressure DBD cold plasma treatment as proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-Visible absorption spectra and HRTEM analyses. TEM images indicate that the Ag NPs with average diameter of 3.7 nm were deposited on powder P25 with high dispersion although no reducing agents, stabilizers or surfactants were used. The prepared products show remarkable improvement for methylene blue (MB) photodegradation and effective inhibition of bacterias against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
AgBr@Ag modified titanium phosphate composites were fabricated through a two-step approach. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The optical properties of the composites were characterized by using UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of the composites were investigated on the degradation of Rhodamine B and ciprofloxacin under visible light irradiation. AgBr@Ag/titanium phosphate was determined to exhibit considerably higher photocatalytic activity than the corresponding individual components. The mechanism on the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity was proposed based on the results of photoluminescence spectra and photocurrent measurements. Furthermore, the possible photocatalytic mechanisms of organic compounds degradation were also proposed.

Abstract
Magnetic carbon nanomaterials were prepared facilely by one step hydrothermal synthesis method using biologically regenerated glucose as carbon sources and ferric ammonium citrate as iron sources. As-synthesized nanomaterials were characterized by means of SEM, TEM, XRD, N2 adsorption-desorption, VSM and XPS etc. techniques. Results show as-prepared magnetic nanomaterials are sphere particles with aggregation state and magnetic α-Fe particles are enclosed by carbon matrixes. With increase of calcination temperature, the degrees of the sample aggregation decrease, whereas the average particle sizes, BET specific surface areas and saturation magnetizations increase. The carbon with graphite structure has higher adsorption efficiency than that of amorphous carbon for organic dye rhodamine B in water. Whereas the iron with amorphous structure shows higher photocatalytic activity than that of the iron with crystalline structure for the degradation of rhodamine B. And rhodamine B in water can almost be degraded completely through the combination of adsorption and photocatalysis.

Abstract
Novel MoS2/PbBiO2I hybrid microspheres were controllably synthesized via the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ([Hmim]I) assisted solvothermal method. The morphologies, structures, optical and electronic properties of the materials were explored by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, DRS, EIS and photocurrent analysis. The photocatalytic activity of MoS2/PbBiO2I was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), antibiotic agent ciprofloxacin (CIP) and bisphenol A (BPA) under visible light irradiation. The photodegradation results showed that the activity of MoS2/PbBiO2I was higher than that of pure PbBiO2I because of suitable band alignment, a larger specific surface area, an enhanced light absorption region, and stronger photocurrent intensity arising from the interface interaction between MoS2 and PbBiO2I. The 1.0 wt% MoS2/PbBiO2I showed the best photocatalytic performance. Electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments and free radical trapping experiments showed that the superoxide radicals (O2-) and holes (h+) were determined to be the main active species for the photocatalysis process. A possible mechanism was presented based on the detection and analysis results.

Abstract
A nanoparticle of cobalt(II) coordination polymer (CP), [Co(L)(npht)]n (1) (H2npht=4-nitrophthalic acid, L=1,3-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene) and its nanocomposite (Ag/CP 1) were obtained by the sonochemical approach and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). CP 1 shows a 1D double chain containing two different helical chains, which is further extended into a two-dimensional supramolecular framework by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding interactions. The photoluminescence properties and photocatalytic properties of the nanoparticles of CP 1 and Ag/CP 1 on the degradation of methylene blue (MB) were investigated, Ag/CP 1 exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity under UV and visible light, which can be attributed to the strong interactions between Ag nanorods and CP 1, which lead to electron-hole pair separation between Ag nanorods and CP 1. In addition, the photocatalytic mechanism is also carried out by introducing t-butyl alcohol (TBA) as a widely used ·OH scavenger. The influence of ultrasound irradiation time and power on the morphology and size of the nanostructure CP 1 were studied. The results indicated that a decrease in time and an increase in power led to a decrease of particle size.
