Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2 , ZrO 2 and SiO 2 were used for adsorptive dechlorination of model oil at different temperatures. The results showed that chlorine removal over the four mesoporous oxides sharply increased with increasing the temperature from 20 °C to 150 °C. GC–MS and ion chromatography analysis showed that 1-chlorooctane was converted into 1-octanol and chloride ion at the temperature higher than 120 °C, which were then adsorbed on the adsorbent. Precipitation pH had a significant impact on the dechlorination performance of Al 2 O 3 . Among various porous oxides, Al 2 O 3 -9.5 precipitated at pH 9.5 exhibited the highest dechlorination performance, over which the chlorine removal reached 99% after adsorption for 3 h at 150 °C. The characterization results indicated that various porous oxides contained only Lewis acid, and the dechlorination performance of the adsorbent basically increased with the increase of its total Lewis acid amount. The dechlorination efficiency for different organochlorine compounds followed the order: straight chain alkyl chlorides > chlorinated cycloalkanes > aromatic hydrocarbons. Al 2 O 3 -9.5 showed good regenerability, and the dechlorination performance of Al 2 O 3 -9.5 had only a slight decrease after six consecutive dechlorination-regeneration cycles, due to slight loss of its Lewis acid amount and surface area.

High performance CdS sensitized TiO 2 nanorod arrays based solar cells are fabricated by polymer-assisted layer-by-layer adsorption and reaction (PA-LBLAR) method. The PA-LBLAR method can well control the deposited size of CdS on the TiO 2 nanorod arrays, which are grown on Ti foils by hydrothermal route then transferred to transparent conductive glasses. The UV–vis absorption spectra show that with the increasing deposition times, the absorption spectra of photoelectrodes increased to a broader wavelength range, which is originated by the better coverage and increased size of CdS quantum dots on the TiO 2 nanorod arrays as detected by SEM and TEM images. The highest power conversion efficiency of the cells (AM 1.5 G, 100 mWcm −2 ) up to 2.944% can be obtained with 7 cycles of PA-LBLAR deposition of CdS sensitized layers in the photoelectrodes, which is much higher than that of the best performance of cell with 14 cycles of traditional successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction processes.

The recovery and control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have gained significant attention. Supported sulfonic acid materials show potential in converting aromatic VOCs into non-volatile sulfonic acid derivatives. However, their effectiveness is closely tied to the anchoring state of the sulfonic acid groups. In this study, two supported sulfonic acids, SSA@CdO and SSA@CaO, were synthesized via the respective reactions of CdO and CaO with chlorosulfonic acid to investigate how the properties of the supports influence sulfonic acid anchoring and reactivity towardo-xylene. Comprehensive characterization and performance tests revealed that sulfonic acid groups on CdO were covalently bonded, forming positively charged sites ([O0.5Cd–O]ɗ−–SO3Hɗ+) with high loading (9.7 mmol/g), enabling excellento-xylene removal (≥95.6%) and adsorption capacity (51.67–91.59 mg/g) at 130–150 °C. In contrast, ion-paired bonding on CaO formed negatively charged sites ([O0.5Ca]+:OSO3H−), which were inactive in electrophilic sulfonation. This work provides new insights for enhancing supported sulfonic acid materials in VOC treatment.

The catalytic materials for sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes with the performance of high activity and stable had attracted significant attention in the field of sustainable wastewater treatment. Here, a novel adsorption-reactive composite catalyst with Fe 3 O 4 impregnated acrylamide-based hydrogel (PAM-AMPS/Fe 3 O 4 ) was designed and synthesized for methylene blue (MB) degradation based on persulfate advanced oxidation processes. For the acrylamide-based hydrogel, the monomer of 2-acrylamide-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) was added to improve the adsorption performance of the composite, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the selected hydrogel was about 40 mg/g. In the presence of the persulfate activated system, the degradation efficiency of MB of PAM-AMPS/Fe 3 O 4 was significantly increased to a level of 94% in 20 min. This value was far superior to catalytic systems without the AMPS. This outstanding performance was benefiting from the synergetic effects of reduced aggregation of Fe 3 O 4 combined with the enhanced adsorption capacity of PAM-AMPS hydrogel. Their cooperative function promoted oxidative decomposition of MB. In addition, PAM-AMPS/Fe 3 O 4 exhibited a good stability and reusability, and it could maintain high degradation efficiency and activity after three successive cycling tests. And at the same time, the produced dominate oxidizing species for MB degradation in the system were identified as SO 4 •− by the radical quenching experiments. This work laid a foundation for applying PAM-AMPS/Fe 3 O 4 as a highly efficient and stable catalyst for future applications and provided new insights into the design and synthesis of environmentally benign and inexpensive persulfate activators.

s We present a simple methodology to construct novel Co-Pi decorated TiO 2 /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 nanorod (TiO 2 /BTO@Co-Pi NR) arrays as photoanode for enhanced water splitting. By using successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method, controllable amounts of BiOI nanoplates were uniformly immobilized on the hydrothermal grown TiO 2 NR arrays on Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate. TiO 2 /BTO NR heterojunction was conveniently obtained by partial conversion of TiO 2 to high crystallized Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 through a solid-state reaction with BiOI nanoplates at high temperature. Afterwards, Co-Pi nanoparticles were deposited on TiO 2 /BTO by photoelectrical deposition to generate TiO 2 /BTO@Co-Pi composites. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements have demonstrated that the prepared TiO 2 /BTO photoanode exhibits extremely enhanced performance than pristine TiO 2 for PEC water splitting thanks to the increased visible light absorption and photogenerated charge separation efficiency. Moreover, both the photocurrent density and incident photo-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) were further improved after the decoration of Co-Pi. This work provides a feasible and low-cost strategy to establish TiO 2 /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 based photoelectrode, therefore, is suitable for practical applications.

A very simple and well-controlled procedure was employed to prepare CdS nanoparticle/few-layer MoS2 nanosheet/Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin film heterostructures. To tune and fabricate the CdS/MoS2(t)/ITO thin films with various surface topographies, first electrophoretic deposition (EPD) was used to deposit MoS2 nanosheets on the ITO substrate under an optimized applied potential difference (8 V) for different deposition times (t) of 30, 60, 120 and 240 s. Then, CdS nanoparticles were deposited via a successive ion layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique. The highest photo-current density of 285 μA cm−2 was measured for the CdS/MoS2(60 s)/ITO sample, which was about 2.3 times higher than the value obtained for bare CdS/ITO. The photo-enhancement mechanism of the CdS/MoS2(t)/ITO heterostructures was described using a stochastic model. The results show that the CdS/MoS2(60 s)/ITO electrode exhibits the highest roughness exponent (2α = 0.67) with the smoothest nanometric fluctuations, resulting in the best wetting properties, and thus, the highest interaction between the electrolyte and the sample surface, leading to the highest PEC activity. On the other hand, the samples with small α possess rough and nanometric-jagged fluctuations. The air trapping inside these microscopic surface fluctuations reduces the wettability as well as surface interaction between the sample and the electrolyte, resulting in low photo-current density.

Uniform zinc oxide (ZnO) nanosheet arrays were grown on woven titanium wires using a low temperature hydrothermal method. Photoanodes were prepared by depositing CdS and CdSe quantum dots onto the ZnO nanosheet arrays by a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. Solar cells were assembled using these nanostructured photoanodes and their photovoltaic performance was characterized. The effect of using SILAR cycles for the deposition of quantum dots on the performance of these nanostructured solar cells was investigated systematically. The overall light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 0.98% was achieved under 100 mW cm−2 illumination for flexible CdS/CdSe co-sensitized solar cells using conventional Pt foils as counter electrodes. To further improve the performance of the flexible solar cells, PbS and Cu2S counter electrodes based on Pb and Cu foils were fabricated. The best conversion efficiencies of flexible CdS/CdSe co-sensitized solar cells using Cu2S and PbS counter electrodes were 3.4% and 2.5%, which demonstrated a significant enhancement in values for short circuit current, open circuit voltage, and fill factor compared to those obtained with the commonly used Pt and Au electrodes.

Levofloxacin is an emerging contaminant that threatens the aquatic organisms and human health. Bi 2 WO 6 -based heterojunction materials exhibit positive photocatalytic degradation activity under visible light with highly stable hierarchical nanostructures for levofloxacin remediation. However, recycling in practical applications is challenging. Herein, a hybrid nanofibrous film comprising BiOBr nanoplates on a layered Bi 2 WO 6 nanofiber was successfully synthesized using electrospinning, a solvothermal method, and successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR). The size and quantity of BiOBr nanoplates grown on the fibers are controlled by adjusting the number of SILAR cycles. The BiOBr nanostructure obtained on the surface of the nanofibers controlled the photocatalytic activity of the sample. The resulting film exhibited superior degradation efficiency toward levofloxacin under visible-light irradiation due to its solid heterostructure, large specific surface area, high porosity, and enhanced visible-light response. The degradation efficiency of levofloxacin reached 95.25% after the system was exposed to visible light for 120 min, and five cyclic experiments demonstrated its excellent stability and reuesability. The Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr/polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous film provides a new strategy for developing high-tech equipment and other applications in environmental remediation.

A nanostructured Fe 2 O 3 /CdZnS/ZnS composite film was constructed on EH40 steel using anodization, hydrothermal, and successive ionic layer absorption and reaction method. The film can inhibit the diffusion of dissolved oxygen to the substrate steel in aerobic seawater, and anodic dissolution of the substrate steel in D. vulgaris containing anaerobic seawater, respectively. The film can inactivate bacteria by producing active chlorine under light, which improves its anti-adhesion efficiency. The film prepared by 50 times of ZnS deposition reaches the highest anti-adhesion efficiency of 71.0 % and 63.3 % toward P. aeruginosa and D. vulgaris under dark, and 98.5 % and 96.0 % under light, respectively.

A novel ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical aptasensing was developed to detect mucin 1 (MUC1) based on TiO 2 /CdS:Eu nanocomposite. The TiO 2 /CdS:Eu nanocomposite modified fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) electrode was prepared by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction technique (SILAR) and then was employed as matrix for immobilization of SH-DNA (DNA1). After 6-mercaptohexanol (MCH) blocked unbound sites of the electrode surface, the MUC1 aptamer(DNA2) was introduced, allowing MUC1 aptamer to hybridize with DNA1. Subsequently, CdS-COOH QDs as signal amplification elements were successively labeled on the terminal of MUC1 aptamer. In this case, the target MUC1 detection was based upon the photocurrent change originated from quantities change of the signal amplification elements CdS. In the presence of MUC1, the MUC1 aptamer was specifically bound with MUC1, and meanwhile MUC1/DNA2/CdS was released from the electrode surface, resulting in significantly decreased photocurrent intensity. The novel ultrasensitive photoelectrochemical aptasensing presented a highly selective, sensitive and reproductive detection of MUC1 from 1 nM to 5 μM with a lower detection limit of 0.3 nM. At the same time, it also provided a good specificity, reproducibility, stability and promising strategy to detect a variety of other protein targets for early clinical diagnosis of different diseases.

Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a major transmitter of redox signals during chemical processes. Cost-effective and easy-to-operate sensors for H 2 O 2 are in high demand in a variety of fields. A novel photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor for H 2 O 2 detection was investigated, using BiOBr/TiO 2 NAs/FTO (BiOBr/TNAs) as a PEC electrode which is obtained by successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. This non-enzymatic PEC BiOBr/TNAs electrode shows excellent selectivity, stability, and reproducibility for H 2 O 2 detection in optimizing modes. The linear relationship is in a broad range from 4 to 1800 μM (R 2 = 0.994) and a detection limit of 0.65 μM (S/N = 3). In the detection of H 2 O 2 in apple juice and milk real samples, the BiOBr/TNAs show outstanding recovery ranging from 98.0 % to 102.0 %, indicating great potential in practical applications. Meanwhile, the p-n heterojunction formed between BiOBr and TiO 2 improves the utilization of visible light and effectively promotes the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. This work provides a new strategy for the non-enzymatic detection of hydrogen peroxide in PEC mode.

The photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of ZnO is restricted by its low light absorption ability and high recombination rate of photogenerated carriers. In order to overcome these drawbacks, ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures are prepared on Zn foil substrate using facile three-step methods containing hydrothermal growth, successive ionic layer adsorption reaction (SILAR) and modified chemical bath deposition (CBD). The effects of process parameters containing the number of SILAR cycles of CdS, sensitization sequence of CdS and CdSe, and precursors of CdSe on PEC performance of ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures, and ZnO NRAs on PEC performance of CdS/CdSe co-sensitizer have been scrutinized. Through CdS and CdSe co-sensitization, a layer of CdS/CdSe nanofilm is conformally deposited on ZnO nanorod arrays (NRAs) observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Both the visible-light absorption ability and separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers of ZnO NRAs are significantly enhanced evidenced by UV–vis diffuse reflectance absorption spectra , photoluminescence (PL) spectra and electrochemical impedance spectra. Due to the synergistic effect of ZnO NRAs and CdS/CdSe co-sensitizer, the ZnO/CdS/CdSe heterostructures with five SILAR cycles and one modified CBD cycle (ZnO-CdS5-CdSe) show efficient PEC properties with photocurrent density of 6.244 mA/cm 2 at −0.2 V vs Ag/AgCl under light illumination of 100 mW/cm 2 , which are 57.28 and 4.73 times higher than those of pristine ZnO NRAs and CdS/CdSe clusters, respectively. Moreover, the photoconversion efficiency and incident photon to current conversion efficiency (IPCE) of the ZnO-CdS5-CdSe photoanode reach 4.381% and 80.92%, respectively. The heterostructures based on Zn foil substrate in this study can be a promising candidate for practical PEC application and other applications such as photocatalytic degradation and solar cell due to its low manufacturing cost, large-scale production and efficient PEC ability.
