“…As one of the most significant resources of life, the quality of water directly determines the safety of human beings and other creatures. However, with the development of industrial and agricultural production, large amounts of hazardous products, such as textile dyes [1], chemical fertilizers [2], antibiotics [3], petroleum [4], and pesticides [5], are poured into wastewater streams; these products have caused the organic pollution and stench of water, seriously threatening human health and the whole ecosystem. In particular, the release of textile dyes and pesticides has induced the metamorphism of water, and people who depend on this polluted water become ill and even die; meanwhile, the toxic products are also harmful to the creatures in the water due to the circulation of the food chain [1,5].…”

The water pollution caused by the release of organic pollutants has attracted remarkable attention, and solutions for wastewater treatment are being developed. In particular, the photocatalytic removal of organic pollutants in water systems is a promising strategy to realize the self-cleaning of ecosystems under solar light irradiation. However, at present the semiconductor-based nanocatalysts can barely satisfy the industrial requirements because their wide bandgaps restrict the effective absorption of solar light, which needs an energy band modification to boost the visible light harvesting via surface engineering. As an innovative approach, pulsed laser heating in liquids has been utilized to fabricate the nanomaterials in catalysis; it demonstrates multi-controllable features, such as size, morphology, crystal structure, and even optical or electrical properties, with which photocatalytic performances can be precisely optimized. In this review, focusing on the powerful heating effect of pulsed laser irradiation in liquids, the functional nanomaterials fabricated by laser technology and their applications in the catalytic degradation of various organic pollutants are summarized. This review not only highlights the innovative works of pulsed laser-prepared nanomaterials for organic pollutant removal in water systems, such as the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and the catalytic reduction of toxic nitrophenol and nitrobenzene, it also critically discusses the specific challenges and outlooks of this field, including the weakness of the produced yields and the relevant automatic strategies for massive production.

“…This facilitates the migration of excited electrons into the MWCNTs, thereby increasing their photocatalytic activity under visible light [15]. Because of the unique properties of composite materials resulting from combining two entities with different functions, many systems based on MWCNTs and semiconductors have been studied [16][17][18].…”

In this paper, we propose a simple procedure to obtain multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) decorated with TiO2–Ag nanoparticles (MWCNT–TiO2–Ag). The MWCNTs were decorated with TiO2–Ag via combined functionalization with –OH and –COOH groups and a polymer-wrapping technique using poly(allylamine)hydrochloride (PAH). TiO2-modified Ag nanoparticles were synthesized via the Pechini method using a mixture of acetylacetonate-modified titanium (IV) isopropoxide with silver nitrate (with Ag+/Ti4+ atomic ratios of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, and 2.5%) and L(+)-ascorbic acid as reducing agents. XRD analysis revealed the formation of nanocomposites containing CNT, anatase TiO2, and Ag. The presence of nanoparticles on the MWCNT surfaces was determined using TEM. The morphology of the TiO2–Ag nanoparticles on the MWCNT surfaces was also determined using TEM. UV–Vis investigations revealed that an increase in the ratio between Ag+ and Ti4+ decreased the band gap energy of the samples. The characteristic vibrations of the TiO2, Ag, and C atoms of the graphite were identified using Raman spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the MWCNT–TiO2–Ag nanocomposite was assessed by examining the degradation of Allura Red (E129) aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The dye photodegradation process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic with respect to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood reaction mechanism. The spin-trapping technique evidenced that •O2− was the main species generated responsible for the Allura Red degradation.

BACKGROUNDIntegrated pest management (IPM) plays a crucial role in protecting agricultural environments and enhancing the quality of agricultural products. However, a major challenge in China is the conflicting understanding of IPM among farmers, leading to low adoption rates. This undermines farmers' ability to control pests and diseases while increasing risks to agricultural quality and safety. This study aimed to investigate the impact of cognitive conflicts on farmers’ adoption of IPM in kiwifruit farms in Shaanxi and Sichuan provinces. Additionally, the study explored the moderating role of internet use in the relationship between cognitive conflicts and farmer adoption of IPM. Data were collected from 686 kiwifruit farms through field surveys in 2018. The binary Probit model and moderating effect models were used to assess the influence of internet use and cognitive conflict on farmer adoption of IPM.RESULTSThe study found that cognitive conflicts significantly hindered farmers’ adoption of IPM. Higher levels of cognitive conflict were associated with lower likelihoods of adopting IPM. Internet use and frequency had positive effects on farmer adoption of IPM, promoting its implementation. Moreover, internet use and frequency helped alleviate the inhibitory effect of cognitive conflicts on farmer adoption IPM.CONCLUSIONThis research enhances our understanding of cognitive conflicts among farmers when promoting IPM and provides viable strategies to improve the effectiveness of public sector promotion and stimulate farmers' willingness to adopt IPM. It emphasizes the importance of addressing cognitive conflicts and utilizing internet resources to enhance IPM adoption among kiwifruit growers in China. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
