Sustainable 2D Bi2WO6/g-C3N5 heterostructure as visible light-triggered abatement of colorless endocrine disruptors in wastewater

Phytogenically bioengineered metal nanoarchitecture for degradation of refractory dye water pollutants: A pragmatic minireview

“…[191] Biosynthesized Fe/Ni NPs have recently been explored for the degradation of orange G dye from water. In comparison with the other examined concentrations (i.e., 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25 g/dm 3 ), the highest initial NP concentration (1.0 g/dm 3 ) displayed continuous azo dye decolorization and the largest degree of degradation, according to the paper. The metal-molar ratio was found to have a substantial impact on the function of the coreshell microstructure, with total dye removal rates of 66%, 89%, and 98% as the molar ratio increased (Ni 2 Fe 10 , Ni 5 Fe 10 , and Ni 10 Fe 10 ).…”

“…The metal-molar ratio was found to have a substantial impact on the function of the coreshell microstructure, with total dye removal rates of 66%, 89%, and 98% as the molar ratio increased (Ni 2 Fe 10 , Ni 5 Fe 10 , and Ni 10 Fe 10 ). Overall, dye removal rates of 97%, 99%, and 98% were achieved using Ni 2 Fe 10 , Ni 5 Fe 10 , and Ni 10 Fe 10 alloy NPs with an initial concentration of 1.0 g/dm 3 , respectively. [206] Furthermore, Vidya et al in 2016 [192] and 2017 [193] successfully synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) NPs by a simple method using leaf extract of Artocarpus heterophyllus (jackfruit).…”

“…Water is an indispensable mother and essential natural resource and has been serving as an effective part of the ecosystem and ecofundamental networking's demands. [1][2][3][4] However, to set the record straight, Figure 1 depicts that water covers around 71% of the earth's surface, but unfortunately, only 2.5% of the whole water on earth is considered fresh [2,4,5] because of the advent of world industrialization, modernization, and technological advancements that have proven to be both a blessing and a curse for humanity, with significant detrimental consequences on aquatic bodies. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] To be perfectly frank, amidst the industrialization upsurge, the dye and textile industries contribute significantly to economic progress and employment creation worldwide; however, this industry is a felon to water bodies.…”

Conformational transition-induced simultaneous fluorescence enhancement of oxytetracycline and rhodamine B under a single excitation wavelength

“…[9][10][11] These residual antibiotics can pose a serious threat to the environment and human health. In addition to causing allergic reactions, 12,13 gastrointestinal disorders, 14 tetracycline pigment deposition 15 and other adverse reactions, they can also promote the formation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, there is a demand for developing more effective and environmentally friendly techniques to detect and treat such antibiotic residues.…”

Structural control in the nanoassembly of the tungsten and molybdenum dithiolene complex analog

“…4 Self-assembly plays a vital role in nanotechnology and directs the fabrication of structurally diverse architectures with welldefined morphologies and sizes, such as nanotubes, nanosheets, nanowires, polygons, nanodiscs, polyhedra, nanocubes, vesicles, nanospheres, and branched nanocrystals, [5][6][7][8] which show potential in a wide range of applications including photovoltaics, 9 energy storage and conversion, 10,11 memory devices, tissue regeneration, sensors, drug delivery, ion-channel regulation, biomedical applications, and nanoreactors. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The various forces that control the molecular assembly or organization are hydrogen bonding interactions, van der Waals attractions, steric repulsions, capillary forces during solvent evaporation, electrostatic interactions, π-π stacking, and chargetransfer interaction. 12,14 Moreover, shape-shifting and sizegrowth of nanostructures can also be stimulated by external factors including light, temperature, nature of solvent, variation in concentration, pH, and ionic strength owing to the reversible and dynamic nature of these non-covalent interactions.…”
