Fabrication of CuO derived reduced graphene oxide photocatalyst for the strategic decolorization of Congo red from an aqueous environment

Fabrication of a symbiotic polyvinyl alcohol-functionalized NiO/rGO nanoadsorbent for control of bisphenol-a removal

“…7–12 However, some pollutants, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), which include synthetic endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), have garnered significant attention due to their high toxicity and adverse effects on the environment and human health. 13–15 Among them, bisphenol A (BPA), also known as 4,4-dihydroxy-2,2-diphenylpropane, is classified as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). 16,17 It is widely employed in the plastic industry as a monomer for manufacturing polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins, flame retardants, unsaturated polyester resins, polyacrylate, polyetherimide and resins.…”

A NiO-nanostructure-based electrochemical sensor functionalized with supramolecular structures for the ultra-sensitive detection of the endocrine disruptor bisphenol S in an aquatic environment

“…28–32 These novel materials are effective in various environmental applications, including carbon capture, and the photocatalytic degradation, removal, and detection of water pollutants in aquatic systems. 33–39 Among the various nanomaterials, metal-oxide-based nanomaterials have received tremendous attention due to their excellent properties. Among transition-metal-oxide NPs, nickel oxide (NiO)-based nanostructured materials typically possess an exceptional energy bandgap of approximately 3.4 eV.…”
