Ti 3 AlC 2 powder was prepared via an efficient solid-liquid reaction in flowing argon using coconut shell charcoal as novel carbon source, and phase evolution, microstructure and oxidation behavior of Ti 3 AlC 2 powder were investigated. The results show that coconut shell charcoal is dominated by amorphous carbon after carbonization with some turbostratic graphite-like structure, and large specific surface area of coconut shell charcoal gives its excellent reactivity. Ti 3 AlC 2 powder prepared at 1400 °C for 1.5 h exhibits good crystallinity and typical nanolayered structure. Ti 3 AlC 2 powder remains thermally stable in air below 552 °C, while oxidizing occurs rapidly between 900 and 1100 °C. The isothermal oxidation curves show a parabolic-like, indicating that the oxidation process is primarily controlled by a diffusion mechanism. The good oxidation resistance of Ti 3 AlC 2 powder is attributed to the oxidized products of TiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 grains formed a connected and dense protective layer on the particle surface at elevated temperatures.

Phenol has various applications in industry, due to its hazardousness, solubility, and volatility, it persists in water and poses a risk to human health. People are excited by the progress of photodegradation technology that facilitates water pollution treatment. The effect of side-chain engineering is proven to enhance photodegradation performance by improving optoelectronic properties. Therefore, here is a strategy that introduces functional groups to change the electron cloud density, achieving excellent optoelectronic properties evidenced by efficient exciton dissociation, separation, and fine-tuned energy level. Subsequently, by coupling of photocatalysis and adsorption, the donor/acceptor (D/A) heterojunction photocatalysts (PBDB-T: BTTIC-TT, PBDB-T: BTTIC-Ph) are designed via loading on coconut-shell carbon to process phenol. The results indicate that the champion photocatalyst PBDB-T: BTTIC-TT possesses superior optoelectronic properties, which can be attributed to the stronger electron-withdrawing ability of thieno[3,2- b ]thiophene than benzene. Consequently, the synergistic efficiency of adsorption and photocatalysis of phenol (10, 20 mg/L) are removed within 10 mins over 90 % which is still valid after twenty cycles. Surprisingly, a high concentration of phenol (100 mg/L) also exhibited excellent removal efficiency of over 80 % within 60 min.

Carbamazepine, recognized as one of the most prevalent pharmaceuticals, has attracted considerable attention due to its potential impact on ecosystems and human health. In response, this work synthesized and characterized a novel environmentally friendly and cost-effective organic semiconductor photocatalyst PM6:Y6:ITCPTC loaded with coconut shell charcoal, and then investigated its performance for photocatalytic removal. Remarkably, carbamazepine demonstrated a photodegradation efficiency exceeding 99% within a mere 20 minutes of exposure to one sunlight intensity, and also showed good effectiveness under a low light intensity of 50 W. The catalyst exhibited exceptional reusability and stability, maintaining degradation efficiency between 95–99% over 25 cycles. The high photocatalytic activity of PM6:Y6:ITCPTC is primarily attributed to the incorporation of the third component (named ITCPTC), which enhances exciton dissociation and carrier transfer, generating superoxide radicals, electrons, and holes. Furthermore, the plausible degradation pathway of carbamazepine was proposed based on the measured intermediates and density functional theory calculations.
