Catalytic activity of Mn(III) and Co(III) complexes: evaluation of catechol oxidase enzymatic and photodegradation properties

Engineered Fe3 triangle for the rapid and selective removal of aromatic cationic pollutants: complexity is not a necessity

“…The wastewater pollutants (specialties the aromatic ones) can easily enter the underground water, which, in turn, contaminates the surface water and consequently causes harm to the human health and environment. [2][3][4][5] The area covered with hard rock water easily creates a shortcut route for water pollutant transport into the groundwater. In the last few years, a new problem has emerged in developing countries due to increased water pollutant concentrations from large industrial activities and humanmade chemical products.…”

Facile synthesis of a three-dimensional Ln-MOF@FCNT composite for the fabrication of a symmetric supercapacitor device with ultra-high energy density: overcoming the energy storage barrier

“…71 For YK-1, the two strong bands observed at 1608 cm −1 and 1340 cm −1 correspond to the stretching vibrations of asymmetric and symmetric carboxyl groups, respectively. 72 The absorption band observed at 765 cm −1 is due to the δ(O-C-O) vibrations of pdc 2− . 73 The absorption band at 506 cm −1 is due to the ν(Pr-N) vibration, and the weak band observed at 416 cm −1 corresponds to ν(Pr-O) vibration.…”

A review of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials as an effective photocatalyst for degradation of organic pollutants

“…20 While photocatalytic processes harness the energy of light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) that can oxidize organic pollutants, the kinetics of these reactions can be inuenced by factors such as catalyst stability, recombination of charge carriers, and the availability of target pollutants at the catalyst surface. [21][22][23] Therefore, we must consider the underlying mechanisms involved in photocatalytic performance. Mechanistically, photocatalytic processes involve the excitation of e − from the valence band (VB) to the conduction band (CB) of the photocatalyst material upon absorption of light leading to the formation of e − -h + pairs.…”
