    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.

    Mechanistic insights into the reaction pathway for efficient cationic dye photocatalytic degradation and the importance of the enhanced charge isolation over dual Z-scheme CeO2/BiOCl/Ag2WO4 photocatalyst
    (Elsevier, 2024) Sharma, Kusum; Sonu, Sonu; Sudhaik, Anita; Ahamad, Tansir; Kaya, Savas; Thakur, Sourbh; Van Le, Quyet
    Fabricating a multi-component heterojunction system with enhanced charge isolation efficacy remains challenging. A photoactive CeO2/BiOCl/Ag2WO4 heterojunction was successfully constructed using a coprecipitation technique to degrade crystal violet and methylene blue dyes. It was found through a combination of characterization and experiments that the dual Z-scheme system not only augmented the charge isolation and migration efficiency but also maintained superior redox ability with extended visible light absorption capacity. In the CeO2/BiOCl/Ag2WO4 system, 97 % of methylene blue and 98 % of crystal violet were degraded in 75 min using 50 mg/L of ternary photocatalyst. The rate of reaction of CeO2/BiOCl/Ag2WO4 for methylene blue (0.0445 min(-1)) and crystal violet (0.05053 min(-1)) exhibited a multi-fold increase in comparison to the bare photocatalysts. The electron spin resonance (ESR) analysis has remarkably identified hydroxyl and superoxide radicals (center dot OH, center dot O-2(-)) as the primary reactive species in the photodegradation process. Liquid chromatographymass spectrometry analysis was utilized to obtain potential degradation pathways for methylene blue and crystal violet, respectively. The dual charge transferal mechanism by the ternary photocatalyst resulted in a significant increase in photocatalytic activity. It provided new perspectives on the principles guiding the rational development of a multicomponent system for environmental remediation.

    Unveiling new horizons of progress on manipulating the structure and characterization of phosphate-modified polymer for selective uranium adsorption
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2024) Kaur, Balvinder; Rana, Parul; Singh, Pardeep; Singh, Archana; Chaudhary, Vishal; Kaya, Savas; Van Le, Quyet
    The hazardous effect of Uranium (U(VI)) on the environment principally stems from its metallic and radioactive properties. Considering the toxicity and radioactivity of U(VI)), there is an imperative necessity to remove U(VI)) from wastewater through various adsorbents. This comprehensive review delves into the quest for employing phosphate-modified polymers for U(VI) uptake by adsorption. The review emphasizes the critical role of U(VI) specific binding to phosphate-modified polymers in increasing the affinity of polymers toward U(VI). The merging of phosphate-based polymers and interactions such as coordination bonding and complexation generated a precise speculation of the chemisorption exhaustion mechanism. The advertisements for interactions with the adsorbent are determined by parameters like pH, coexisting ions, ionic strength, temperature, and contact time, which gives information about the adsorption process. This review summarises the recent breakthroughs towards the classifications, synthesis, and adsorption mechanism of phosphate-modified polymers. In turn, the capacity of phosphate-modified polymers to adsorb contributes to the fact that the polymers are regeneratable after desorption. Overall, this clarifies the potential of phosphate modification to improve the adsorption capacity of polymer adsorbents.
