Abstract
Prompt recombination of photoproduced charges in bulk and surface of a photocatalyst significantly impedes catalytic efficiency. To address these challenges, FeOOH nanorods (NRs) anchored NaNbO3 (NNO) piezoelectric microcubes (MCs) have been fabricated for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation and oxygen evolution through water splitting by coupling macroscopic spontaneous piezoelectric polarization and a built-in electric field. The local electric field induced by surface oxygen vacancies (Ovs) and orientation of FeOOH NRs over NNO MCs afford the polarization electric field a significant boost, driving the quick separation/migration of charge carriers from bulk to the surface. The polarized NNO/FeOOH composite with ample Ovs demonstrates an outstanding piezophotocatalytic CIP degradation of 93% in 1 h, higher than pristine materials (NNO and FeOOH), and a high O2 evolution rate of 1155 μmol h-1. The effect of piezoelectric polarization on the catalytic activity is supplemented by theoretical simulations. This work offers an avenue for selective pollutant remediation and water splitting through the rational design of piezoelectric polarization-mediated heterostructure systems with surface Ovs.

Abstract
Developing catalysts with superior activity to hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is equally important to the overall photoelectrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen. In this work, bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI), iron-modified bismuth iodide Fe/BiOI, and the sulfurized S-Fe/BiOI were prepared using the solvothermal method. The three materials all have good absorption ability for visible light. The photoelectrochemical catalytic activity of BiOI to oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is significantly enhanced after iron modification, while the sulfurized product S-Fe/BiOI exhibits better catalytic activity to hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Hence, OER and HER can be simultaneously catalyzed by using Fe/BiOI and S-Fe/BiOI as anodic and cathodic catalysts to facilitate the overall photoelectrochemical water splitting process.

Abstract
Manganese dioxide (MnO2) has been recognized as one of the natural systems' most active mineral oxidants. However, when it comes to catalytic oxidation of antibiotic applications, pure MnO2 falls short in delivering satisfactory performance. Hence, a set of Fe3+-doped porous MnO2 (0.02Fe-MnO2, 0.1Fe-MnO2, and 0.14Fe-MnO2) nanoparticles were synthesized here via a convenient and energy-efficient one-step reaction method. A series of experiments revealed that Fe-doping strategy enhances the properties of MnO2 host by suppressing the crystalline structure, increasing the amount of surface oxygen defects, and modifying the Mn3+/Mn4+ ratio. Specifically, the tetracycline (TC) removal efficiency of 0.14Fe-MnO2 reaches 92% without the need for any additional co-oxidant, representing a 20% improvement over pristine MnO2 nanoparticles. Moreover, this process shows a fast dynamic (achieving 70% of TC removal in just 5 min) and demonstrates pH-resistance, maintaining high TC removal efficiency (≥90%) over a wide pH range of 3.0-9.0. Mechanical studies reveal that the degradation of TC can be attributed to the oxidation by reactive oxygen radicals and Mn3+, with 1O2 being the primary radical involved in the reaction, accounting for 55% of TC removal. Importantly, cytotoxicity testing indicates that the biotoxicity of TC toward organisms can be effectively mitigated using 0.14Fe-MnO2 nanomaterial. This study presents a readily applicable candidate for economically and conveniently eliminating of environmental TC pollution, thereby reducing the threat posed by TC pollution to the ecosystem.

Abstract
With recent advancements in nanomedicines and their associated research with biological fields, their translation into clinically-applicable products is still below promises. Quantum dots (QDs) have received immense research attention and investment in the four decades since their discovery. We explored the extensive biomedical applications of QDs, viz. Bio-imaging, drug research, drug delivery, immune assays, biosensors, gene therapy, diagnostics, their toxic effects, and bio-compatibility. We unravelled the possibility of using emerging data-driven methodologies (bigdata, artificial intelligence, machine learning, high-throughput experimentation, computational automation) as excellent sources for time, space, and complexity optimization. We also discussed ongoing clinical trials, related challenges, and the technical aspects that should be considered to improve the clinical fate of QDs and promising future research directions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants via semiconductors with high visible light response and effective carrier separation is an economical and green route to greatly achieve environmental remediation. Herein, an efficient BiOI/Bi2MoO6 p-n heterojunction was in situ fabricated through hydrothermal method by substituting Mo7O246- species for I ions. The characteristic p-n heterojunction exhibited a strongly enhanced visible light responsive absorption from 500 to 700 nm owing to the narrow band gap of BiOI and a greatly effective separation of photoexcited carriers because of the built-in electric field on the interface between BiOI and Bi2MoO6. Moreover, the flower-like microstructure also promoted the adsorption of organic pollutants owing to the large surface area (about 10.36 m2/g), good for further photocatalytic degradation. As a result, BiOI/Bi2MoO6 p-n heterojunction showed an excellent photocatalytic activity of RhB of almost 95% in a short time of 90 min under wavelength longer than 420 nm, 2.3 and 2.7 times higher compared with single BiOI and Bi2MoO6, respectively. This work offers a promising approach to purify the environment through the utilization of solar energy by constructing efficient p-n junction photocatalysts.

Abstract
The release of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and methylene blue (MB) dye into the aquatic system uncontrollably caused major environmental and health problems; hence, their prevention required serious attention. Adsorption process is now being researched in order to increase adsorption efficiency and reprocess to alleviate environmental issues. The use of magnetic nanoparticle as an adsorbent for wastewater treatment has a lot of prospective. A magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle surface modified by Vasaka (Justicia adhatoda) leaf extract (JA-MIONs) is used to give a fast removal approach for MB dye and TCH antibiotics. Dynamic light scattering, UV-Vis and band gap measurement, powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy were operated to analyse the formation and size of these magnetic nanoparticles. The impacts of different factors such as contact time (30-150 min), adsorbate concentration (10-50 mg/L), pH (4-10), and adsorbent dose (2-10 mg) were explored. Adsorption kinetics and isotherms show that it follows the pseudo-first-order kinetic and the Freundlich isotherm, with maximum adsorption capacities of 76.92 mg/g for MB and 200 mg/g for TCH at 298 K. The reusability of the JA-MIONs eventually exhibited a decline in the adsorption percentage of MB and TCH after five and four times respectively. After the desorption-adsorption cycles, this adsorbent continued to exhibit significant adsorption capacity. This investigation furnished the significant reference data for the synthesis of JA-MIONs as a novel and auspicious adsorbent for the industrial clean-up of toxic dyes and heavily used antibiotics from water.

Abstract
In this work, a floating photocatalyst was constructed by loading g-C3N4@Bi2MoO6@AgI (GBA) nanocomposite on a modified polyurethane sponge via a simple dip-coating method and applied for the inactivation of Microcystis aeruginosa under visible light. GBA ternary photocatalyst was fabricated successfully and the morphology, structure, chemical state, and optical properties were characterized systematically. The floating catalyst achieved near 100% removal efficiency of algae cells under 6 h visible light irradiation and also could be retrieved and used at least three times repeatedly. The influences of various conditions on photocatalytic performance such as loading content of nanoparticles, algae density, and concentration of natural organic matters were also studied, which revealed that the GBA floating catalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance of algae removal under different conditions. Furthermore, the physiological characteristics of algae cells during the photocatalytic process, including cell morphology, membrane permeability, Zeta potential, photosynthetic system, antioxidant system, and the metabolic activity were investigated. Results confirmed that the algae cells were severely damaged during the photocatalytic inactivation and the normal physiological functions were significantly affected, which resulted in the death of algae cells at last. Finally, a possible photocatalytic inactivation mechanism of algae cells was proposed. In summary, GBA floating catalyst can effectively inactivate Microcystis aeruginosa under visible light, which confirmed the high efficiency of the novel photocatalytic algae removal technology. Meanwhile, the recyclable floating material also makes the practical application in eutrophic waters of the algae removal technology possible.

Abstract
Photocatalysis offers a sustainable approach for recalcitrant organic pollutants degradation, yet it is still challenging to seek robust photocatalysts for application purposes. Herein, a novel NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH)/covalent triazine framework (CTF-1) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was rationally designed for antibiotics degradation under visible light irradiation. The NiFe-LDH/CTF-1 nanocomposites were readily obtained via in situ loading of NiFe-LDH on CTF-1 through covalent linking. The abundant coupling interfaces between two semiconductor counterparts lay the foundation for the formation of Z-scheme heterostructure, thereby effectively promoting the transfer of photogenerated electrons, inhibiting the recombination of carriers, as well as conferring the nanocomposites with stronger redox ability. Consequently, the optimal photocatalytic activity of the LDH/CTF heterojunction was significantly boosted for the degradation of a typical antibiotic, tetracycline (TC). Additionally, the photodegradation process and the mineralization of TC were further elucidated. These results envision that the LDH/CTF-1 can be a viable photocatalyst for long-term and sustainable wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In the current study, Bismuth molybdate was synthesized using simple co-precipitation procedure, and their characterization was carried out by various methods such as FT-IR, SEM, and P-XRD. Furthermore, the photocatalytic degradation of Orange G (ORG) dye using synthesized catalyst under visible light irradiation was studied. Response surface Method was used for the optimization of process variables and degradation kinetics evaluated by modeling of experimental data. Based on the experimental design outcomes, the first-order model was proven as a practical correlation between selected factors and response. Further ANOVA analysis has revealed that only two out of six factors have a significant effect on ORG degradation, however ORG concentration and irradiation time indicated the significant effects sequentially. Maximum ORG degradation of approximately 96% was achieved by keeping process parameters in range, such as 1 g L-1 loading of catalyst, 50 mg L-1 concentration of ORG, 1.4 mol L-1 concentration of H2O2 at pH 7 and a temperature of 30 °C. Kinetics of ORG degradation followed the pseudo first order, and almost complete degradation was achieved within 8 h. The effectiveness of the Bi2MoO6/H2O2 photo-Fenton system in degradation reactions is due to the higher number of photo-generated e- available on the catalyst surface as a result of their ability to inhibit recombination of e- and h+ pair.

Abstract
Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs) comprise a class of natural or synthetic molecules and groups of substances which are considered as emerging contaminants due to their toxicity and danger for the ecosystems, including human health. Nowadays, the presence of EDCs in water and wastewater has become a global problem, which is challenging the scientific community to address the development and application of effective strategies for their removal from the environment. Particularly, catalytic and photocatalytic degradation processes employing nanostructured materials based on metal oxides, mainly acting through the generation of reactive oxygen species, are widely explored to eradicate EDCs from water. In this review, we report the recent advances described by the major publications in recent years and focused on the degradation processes of several classes of EDCs, such as plastic components and additives, agricultural chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products, which were realized by using novel metal oxide-based nanomaterials. A variety of doped, hybrid, composite and heterostructured semiconductors were reported, whose performances are influenced by their chemical, structural as well as morphological features. Along with photocatalysis, alternative heterogeneous advanced oxidation processes are in development, and their combination may be a promising way toward industrial scale application.

Abstract
It is well known that the most important task of photocatalytic technology is to synthesize photocatalysts with compact heterojunction structure and high redox ability. To achieve the goal, a novel Z-scheme BiO2-x/BiOBr heterojunction containing oxygen vacancy was synthesized by an in-situ generation process. Several techniques, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have verified the BiO2-x/BiOBr heterojunction. XPS and electron spin resonance (ESR) reveals the presence of oxygen vacancy in the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite. As expected, the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite showed good performance in removing Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC). The effects of inorganic ions, pH value and water matrix were investigated with many details. The active species and proposed mechanism were revealed by trapping experiment and related characterizations. The synergistic effect of oxygen vacancy and Z-scheme heterojunction makes the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite possess excellent photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
The rapid rise in the healthcare sector has led to an increase in pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in different aqueous bodies. The toxicity of the PhACs and their ability to persist after conventional treatment processes have escalated research in the field of photocatalytic treatment. Although different photocatalysts have been successful in degrading PhACs, their inherent drawbacks have severely limited their application on a large scale. A substantial amount of research has been aimed at overcoming the high cost of the photocatalytic material, low quantum yield, the formation of toxic end products, etc. Hence, to further research in this field, researchers must have a fair idea of the current trends in the application of different photocatalysts. In this article, the trends in the use of various photocatalysts for the removal of different PhACs have been circumscribed. The performance of different groups of photocatalysts to degrade PhACs from synthetic and real wastewater has been addressed. The drawbacks and advantages of these materials have been compared, and their future in the field of PhACs removal has been predicted using S-curve analysis. Zinc and titanium-based photocatalysts were efficient under UV irradiation, while bismuth and graphene-based materials exhibited exemplary performance in visible light. However, iron-based compounds were found to have the most promising future, which may be because of their magnetic properties, easy availability, low bandgap, etc. Different modification techniques, such as morphology modification, doping, heterojunction formation, etc., have also been discussed. This study may help researchers to clarify the current research status in the field of photocatalytic treatment of PhACs and provide valuable information for future research.

Abstract
Designing low-cost, environment friendly, and highly active photocatalysts for water splitting is a promising path toward relieving energy issues. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorods are uniformly anchored onto two-dimensional (2D) NiO nanosheets to achieve enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The optimized 2D/1D NiO/CdS photocatalyst exhibits a remarkable boosted hydrogen generation rate of 1,300 μmol h-1 g-1 under visible light, which is more than eight times higher than that of CdS nanorods. Moreover, the resultant 5% NiO/CdS composite displays excellent stability over four cycles for photocatalytic hydrogen production. The significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity of the 2D/1D NiO/CdS heterojunction can be attributed to the efficient separation of photogenerated charge carriers driven from the formation of p-n NiO/CdS heterojunction. This study paves a new way to develop 2D p-type NiO nanosheets-decorated n-type semiconductor photocatalysts for photocatalytic applications.
