This study proposes a strategy based on heterovalent ion doping that gives rise to a synergistic piezo-phototronic effect with significantly improved catalytic activity and leads to selective catalytic enhancement for specific pollutants. Owing to the enhanced light absorption, hydrogen evolution rates are as high as 3704 and 3178 µmolg −1 h −1 in 0.01Li-doped BaTiO 3 and 0.02La-doped BaTiO 3 nanosheets, respectively, under simultaneous irradiation by ultrasound and light, a factor of 4.6 and 3.9 times higher than for pure BaTiO 3 . The performance also far exceeds that of single piezocatalysis, photocatalysis, or the sum of the two for Li/La-doped BaTiO 3 nanosheets due to the effects of the piezoelectric field in promoting photo-induced separation of electron-hole pairs. Further, by carefully selecting donor or acceptor doping, a significant enhancement in catalyst to specific pollutants is obtained by controlling the band structure. Compared to pure BaTiO 3 , 0.01Li-doped BaTiO 3 possesses higher catalytic activity for anionic dyes such as Methyl blue and Malachite Green, reaching 0.067 and 1.379 min −1 , respectively, while 0.02La-doped BaTiO 3 exhibits better catalytic performance for cationic dyes such as Rhodamine B and Methyl Orange, with degradation rates up to 0.274 and 0.029 min −1 , respectively. This study offers a path to the design of efficient piezocatalysts for specific applications.

The contemporary world is concerned only with non-biodegradable waste management which needs more sophisticated procedures as compared to biodegradable waste management. Biodegradable waste has the potential to become useful to society through a simple volarization technique. The researchers are behind sustainable nanotechnology pathways which are made possible by using biodegradable waste for the preparation of nanomaterials. This review emphasizes the potentialities of biodegradable waste produced as a viable alternative to create a sustainable economy that benefits all humans. Volarization results in the utilization of biowastes as well as provides safer and hazard-free green methods for the synthesis of nanoparticles. Starting from different sources to the application which includes therapeutics, food industry and water treatment. The review hovers over the pros and cons of biowaste-mediated nanoparticles and concludes with possible advances in the application. In the present scenario, the combination of green synthesis and biowaste can bring about a wide variety of applications in nanotechnology once the hurdles of bulk-scale industrial production are resolved. Given these points, the review is focused on the cost-effective synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles.

“…4‐NP is a vital compound used in different industrial products such as acetaminophen, dying, leather, plastic, pharmaceuticals, and paper. [ 1–8 ] Thus, the amount of the NP is gradually increasing in wastewater. [ 9–12 ] 4‐NP is known as one of the most refractory pollutants to humans and may cause different syndrome such as damaged blood cells, irritation, eyes inflammation, human central nervous system, the kidneys, and liver once 4‐NP gets into the body of human beings.…”

Magnetic porous carbon composite was synthesized from zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF‐12) and used as a support material to fabricate CoPd nanoparticles decorated NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst. The structure of CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 has been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Raman, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP‐MS) techniques. The catalytic reduction reaction of nitrophenols (NP) to aminophenols (AP) was successfully achieved by CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst. When the catalytic performance of the catalyst was compared with other reported catalysts, the performance of the catalyst and reusability was found much better. This better catalytic activity of the CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst may be attributed to facilitating the mass transfer of the nitro compound and the wettability of catalyst caused by the high nitrogen content of the carbon matrix and to the synergistic effect of Co and Pd nanoparticles. The CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst showed perfect catalytic activity in the reduction of 4‐nitrophenol (4‐NP), 3‐nitrophenol (3‐NP), and 2,4‐nitrophenol (2,4‐DNP) reactions with high turnover frequency (TOF) values of 1679, 2687, and 1014 h−1, respectively. The reusability experiments of the CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst showed that the catalytic activity of the CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst was almost retained after 10 consecutive reaction runs. The SEM, XRD, and FTIR analyses of the 10 times used CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst showed that there were limited changes in the structure of the CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 nanocatalyst. This highly active, magnetically separable, and recyclable CoPd@NPC@ZIF‐12 catalyst exhibits better catalytic activity than commercial Pd/C catalysts.
