    Advanced photo-Fenton assisted degradation of tetracycline antibiotics using ?-Fe2O3/CdS/SiO2 based S-scheme photocatalyst
    (Elsevier, 2024) Sharma, Kirti; Sudhaik, Anita; Sonu; Kumar, Rohit; Nguyen, Van-Huy; Le, Quyet Van; Ahamad, Tansir
    In the present work, we have explored the construction of ternary alpha-Fe2O3/CdS/SiO2 S-scheme nanocomposite for the removal of tetracycline (TC) antibiotic. The ternary alpha-Fe2O3/CdS/SiO2 nanocomposite was fabricated using the co-precipitation method and was characterized via various analytical and spectroscopic techniques to explore their structural properties. The alpha-Fe2O3/CdS binary magnetic nanocomposite was attached to the surface of SiO2 nanoparticles, which served as an effective support material with improved chemical stability and good visible-light absorption capabilities. Among the synthesized bare (alpha-Fe2O3, CdS, SiO2) and ternary photocatalysts, the alpha-Fe2O3/CdS/SiO2 nanocomposite exhibited the highest TC photodegradation efficiency (99 %) at pH 3 within 120 min of light illumination using 60 mg/L catalyst dose and 7 x 10(-4) M of H2O2 concentration (30 % V/V). In comparison to bare photocatalysts, the photo-Fenton assisted photocatalytic reactions of ternary heterojunction boosted charge carrier separation and mobility (confirmed from PL and EIS analysis). Additionally, it could prolong the reactive oxygen species generation which significantly improved the degradation rate of TC by ternary nanocomposite. Furthermore, the generation of superoxide (O-center dot(2)-) and hydroxyl ((OH)-O-center dot) radicals, i.e. reactive oxygen species, played an imperative role in the TC degradation process which were validated through scavenging experiments and ESR analysis. This study displayed the effectiveness of the S-scheme alpha-Fe2O3/CdS/SiO2 ternary heterostructure-based Photo-Fenton system exhibiting enhanced charge separation and migration for boosted photocatalytic efficiency. After four rounds, the photocatalytic activity demonstrated only a minor decline in catalytic efficiency.

    DFT and experimental studies of the facet-dependent oxygen vacancies modulated WS2/BiOCl-OV S-scheme structure for enhanced photocatalytic removal of ciprofloxacin from wastewater
    (Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2024) Kumar, Abhinandan; Singh, Pardeep; Nguyen, Van-Huy; Van Le, Quyet; Ahamad, Tansir; Thakur, Sourbh; Matsagar, Babasaheb M.
    The present study explores visible light-assisted photodegradation of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride (CIP) antibiotic as a promising solution to water pollution. The focus is on transforming the optical and electronic properties of BiOCl through the generation of oxygen vacancies (OVs) and the exposure of (110) facets, forming a robust Sscheme heterojunction with WS2. The resultant OVs mediated composite with an optimal ratio of WS2 and BiOClOV (4-WS2/BiOCl-OV) demonstrated remarkable efficiency (94.3%) in the visible light-assisted photodegradation of CIP antibiotic within 1.5 h. The CIP degradation using 4-WS2/BiOCl-OV followed pseudo -firstorder kinetics with the rate constant of 0.023 min -1, outperforming bare WS2, BiOCl, and BiOCl-OV by 8, 6, and 4 times, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis aligned well with experimental results, providing insights into the structural arrangement and bandgap analysis of the photocatalysts. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis utilized for identifying potentially degraded products while scavenging experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping analysis elucidated the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism. This research contributes to advancing the design of oxygen vacancymediated S-scheme systems in the realm of photocatalysis, with potential implications for addressing water pollution concerns.

    Fabrication of novel ternary dual S-scheme ZnFe2O4/Ag3PO4/ZnIn2S4 photocatalyst with enhanced visible light-driven RhB degradation
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2024) Kumar, Yogesh; Sonu; Sudhaik, Anita; Raizada, Pankaj; Nguyen, Van-Huy; Kumar, Naveen; Kaya, Savas
    This work synthesized a ternary dual S-scheme photocatalyst ZnIn2S4/Ag3PO4/ZnFe2O4 by co-modifying Ag3PO4 with ZnFe2O4 and ZnIn2S4 by facile co-precipitation method. XRD outcome established the formation of bare Ag3PO4, ZnIn2S4, and ZnFe2O4, and ZnIn2S4/Ag3PO4/ZnFe2O4 was shown to be pure since peaks matching these semiconductors appeared. These findings were further supported by the FTIR and XPS analyses, which revealed the shift in structural characteristics. UV-Vis spectroscopy showed a broader absorption spectrum of the nanocomposite and pointed out that it might be used as a photocatalyst in direct sunshine. Shorter charge transfer resistance and poor recombination rate of charge carriers are shown by a smaller radius in the EIS Nyquist plot and a less intense PL spectrum of ternary composite, respectively. Under simulated solar radiations, the photocatalytic performance of the ZnIn2S4/Ag3PO4/ZnFe2O4 (ZIS/SP/ZIS) nanocomposite (99.8 %) was the highest against RhB decolorization when compared to pure ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) (33.3 %), Ag3PO4 (SP) (19.6 %), ZnFe2O4 (ZF) (20.1 %) and binary Ag3PO4/ZnFe2O4 (SP/ZF) (55.4 %) nanocomposite. However, COD proved that complete mineralization took longer and took 240 min. Experiments on scavenging have shown that the radicals O-center dot(2)-, h(+), and (OH)-O-center dot are created and influence RhB degradation in order: O-2(-) > OH > h(+). ESR experiment supported the scavenging study results. Out of two main schematic models used to depict the photocatalytic reaction mechanism, the S-scheme can effectively explain boosted light absorption, charge carrier separation, the synergistic effect of the components, and improved photocatalytic performance. Facile magnetic separation and photostability were observed as photocatalysts retained 90.8 % degradation efficiency after four reuse cycles.

    Transforming waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) into high-performance activated carbon-supported composites for pollutant degradation: A synergy of experiments and DFT insights
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Poonia, Komal; Sonu; Singh, Pardeep; Ahamad, Tansir; Nguyen, Van-Huy; Katin, Konstantin P.; Kaya, Savas
    To date, the global demand for clean water and environmentally detrimental human activities are among the most significant challenges humans face. Therefore, an urgent need is to innovate and implement more effective, sustainable solutions to protect the environment and preserve our vital water resources. In particular, this study successfully developed a new and suitable nanocomposite catalyst from waste polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics-derived activated carbon (P-AC) and applied it for the enhanced photo-degradation of tetracycline (TCHCl). Based on the characterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we suggest that the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis by synthesizing oxygen vacancy-rich Bi4O5Br2 (BOB) and Co3(PO4)2 (COP) immobilized on P-AC play a critical role in enhancing effectively further the degradation efficiency. Interestingly, the proposed S-scheme charge transfer mechanism demonstrated an impressive TC-HCl degradation efficiency of 90.7 % within 90 min under light irradiation. It notes that the degradation mechanism involved the pre-adsorption of TC-HCl onto the surface of functional group-rich activated carbon, which assisted in hastening the attack of O2 center dot- and h+. Nine primary intermediates were identified, framing three degradation pathways for TC-HCl as per liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Lastly, results of consecutive quadruplicate degradation experiments advocated the stability and reusability of the nanocomposite, highlighting the potential of upcycling plastic waste into valuable photocatalytic materials support, offering an effective and environmentally friendly solution for removing priority pollutants from water.
