In this study, carbon nitride was loaded into the titanium incorporated SBA-15 mesoporous silica (denoted as Ti-SBA15-CN) by a two-step vapor condensation of dicyandiamide. The as-prepared sample was characterized by various spectroscopy techniques. Photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI) in aqueous solution was investigated using Ti-SBA15-CN under visible-light irradiation. By introducing Ti into the SBA-15 framework structure, the visible light driven photocatalytic activity of the obtained Ti-SBA15-CN was higher than SBA15-CN and the photocatalytic activity exhibited a rise with the increase of Ti contents. It was because the presence of Ti moiety could promote the separation of the photo-generated charge carriers in carbon nitride, leading to the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity. The addition of phenol further enhanced the photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI). Similarly, the presence of Cr (VI) promoted the degradation of phenol. The synergistic effect between the reduction of Cr (VI) and the degradation of phenol provided salutary method for purification of the complex waste water and environmental restoration.

The efficient treatment of dye wastewater has been a hot topic of environment field. The integration of adsorption and photocatalytic degradation via fabrication of bi-component heterojunction photocatalyst is considered as a facile and effective strategy to enhance the dye elimination efficiency. In this report, a Z-scheme heterojunction material, SrTiO 3 (La,Cr)/WO 3 with bifunction of adsorption and photocatalysis was successfully synthesized for efficient removal of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The morphology and microstructure characterization demonstrates that the SrTiO 3 (La,Cr) nanoparticles are uniformly decorated on the WO 3 nanosheets, forming an intimate heterojunction interface. MB degradation results indicate that the removal efficiency by the synergistic adsorption-photocatalysis process is greatly improved compared to pure WO 3 and SrTiO 3 (La,Cr) with the adsorption and photocatalytic activity closely related to the composition of the material. The possible mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction system based on active species trapping experiments. Furthermore, the investigations of adsorption kinetics and isotherm show that the adsorption process follows pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm, respectively. Due to the synergistic advantages of negative zeta potential, large surface area and accelerated separation of photogenerated carriers driven by Z-scheme heterojunction, SrTiO 3 (La,Cr)/WO 3 exhibits excellent adsorption-photocatalytic performance and stability on MB removal, which could be potentially used for practical wastewater treatment.

Considering the potential effects of physical and chemical properties and morphology on photocatalytic performance, La doped Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets (La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS) were synthesized by immersion method using Na 2 WO 4 ·2 H 2 O, Bi(NO 3 ) 3 ·5 H 2 O and La(NO 3 ) 3 as raw materials. The synthesized La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS was characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, XRD, UV–vis, PL, I-t and EIS. The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS in the degradation of tetracycline (TC) and reduction of chromium (VI) can be attributed to the oxygen vacancy level generated by La doping, which played a crucial role in improving the performance of Bi 2 WO 6 -NS. Moreover, the unique 2D nanosheets feature afforded abundant active sites and endowed an enhanced the visible light response, further improved photocatalytic performance. Additionally, 4 % La/Bi 2 WO 6 -NS exhibited extraordinary the simultaneously photocatalytic degradation of Cr(VI)/TC efficiency with 92.0 % and 90.8 %, which are much higher than that of single Cr(VI) and TC. Combining of the experimental confirmations and the deep DFT calculations, the synergistic photocatalytic mechanism of the synthesized material was investigated systematically.

s In this study, a flower-shaped Bi 2 S 3 /g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure was synthesized via a hydrothermal method and utilized as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr 6+ ) and Rhodamine B (RhB). Employing an interface electronic engineering strategy with heterostructure nanosheets, the thickness of the nanosheets was adjusted by varying the molecular weight of the structure guiding agent, polyethylene glycol (Mn = 400, 2000 or 4000). Under visible light irradiation for 18 and 60 minutes, the removal efficiencies of Cr 6+ and RhB reached 95.0 % and 99.9 %, respectively, with corresponding rate constants being 8.64-fold and 9.67-fold higher than pure Bi 2 S 3 . The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency may be attributed to the intermediate adsorption states and increased active sites enhancing light absorption and charge separation. Furthermore, species capture studies revealed that electrons (e - ) and superoxide radicals (·O 2 - ) played crucial roles in the reduction of chromium (VI), while holes (h + ) were the primary active species involved in RhB degradation. Density-functional theory (DFT) calculation demonstrated charge redistribution and electron accumulation can be more obviously observed at Bi 2 S 3 /g-C 3 N 4 than Bi 2 S 3 , which proved that g-C 3 N 4 doping effectively improved the electrons transfer efficiency over the Bi 2 S 3 /g-C 3 N 4 surface, thereby enhancing the photocatalytic activity.

Using O 2 as an oxidant, developing a non-noble metal catalyst for the selective catalytic C–H bond oxidation of p-chlorotoluene is desirable and challenging. In this work, a series of Co, Cr co-doped OMS-2 (Octahedral Molecular Sieve-2) catalysts were prepared by a conventional refluxing method. It was found that the incorporation of Co and Cr improved the catalytic activity for the selective oxidation of p-chlorotoluene to p-chlorobenzaldehyde. Among these catalysts, CoCr/OMS-2 (Co: Cr = 1: 1, mass ratio), the best catalyst, shows that the conversion and the selectivity of p-chlorobenzaldehyde is 94.8 % and 94.3 %, respectively. The enhanced catalytic activity was due to the larger specific surface area and even dispersion of active components. The characterization results also disclosed that the co-doping of Co and Cr increased the oxygen vacancy and enhanced the ability to activate the surface lattice oxygen. Additionally, density functional theory calculations demonstrated that co-doping of Co and Cr promoted the adsorption of p-chlorotoluene and O 2 , and decreased the energy barrier of rate-determining step (the conversion of p-chlorobenzyl alcohol to p-chlorobenzaldehyde). Besides, when H 2 O was added to the reaction system as the second solvent, the activation and dissociation of O 2 , and the formation of p-chlorobenzaldehyde were facilitated, in agreement with the experimental results. This work demonstrated the promotional effect of Co, Cr co-doped into OMS-2 catalyst and the role of H 2 O for the selective oxidation of p-chlorotoluene.

The efficiency and stability of in situ remediation of Cr(VI) contamination in underground water and soil are still challenging. In this study, a green tea (GT) synthesized nano-zerovalent iron (nZVI) nanocomposite supported by diatomite (DE) (nZVI@GT/DE) via tea polyphenols was designed. The synergetic effect of DE support and tea polyphenols wrapping increased the Fe(II) component in nZVI@GT/DE and its transportability. Compared to nZVI@GT/Mont (supported by Mont with sandwich structure), nZVI@GT/DE exhibited a notably higher capacity (>100 mg g–1) for immobilizing Cr(VI) and a more pronounced ability to release iron ions in solution (corrosion parameter: K ≈ 1.046). This was attributed to the combined effect of the unwrapping process of tea polyphenols coverage and the distinctive columnar porous structure of DE, which increased the exposure of α-Fe0 core for enhanced Cr(VI) reduction during their cotransport in the water-saturated soil system. X-ray absorption fine structure and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses confirmed that nZVI@GT/DE released more Fe(II) ions to reduce Cr(VI) to bidentate binuclear Cr(OH)3 (vs FeOCr2O3) complexes. This study unraveled the molecular mechanism and highlighted the Cr speciation transformation and physiochemical property changes of nZVI@GT/DE during their cotransporting when applied in situ remediation in complex subsurface of Cr(VI)-contaminated groundwater and soil system.

Herein, the composite powder with a core–shell heterostructure (Fe–Si–Cr magnetic particles as the core and ZnSO 4 as the shell) was synthesized using hydrothermal method, and Fe–Si–Cr-based soft magnetic composites (SMCs) with an insulation layer of ZnO·SiO 2 ·Cr 2 O 3 (ZSC) composites were successfully prepared via powder heat treatment and cold pressing. The formation mechanism of the ZSC composite insulation layer was thoroughly investigated, and the impact of varying amounts of ZnSO 4 on the Fe-Si-Cr/ZSC SMCs’ microstructure and magnetic properties was analyzed. ZnSO 4 released oxygen during thermal decomposition and oxidation reaction occurred at the core–shell heterogeneous interface, forming ZSC composite insulation layer. The incorporation of ZnSO 4 significantly influenced the homogeneity and thickness of the composite insulation layer, effectively modulating the magnetic properties of Fe–Si–Cr/ZSC SMCs. This SMCs had the best magnetic properties after the addition of 2 wt% ZnSO 4 . Under 10 mT and 300 kHz, the relative permeability was 37.7, with a total loss of 248.8 kW/m 3 The method proposed in this study is beneficial for facilitating the advancement of SMCs towards high frequency and further optimizing its performance.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a highly toxic and mobile contaminant commonly found in industrial wastewater, poses substantial environmental and health risks, and its reduction to the less harmful trivalent form (Cr(III)) is a critical remediation strategy. While copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) offer a cost-effective alternative to expensive precious metal catalysts, their tendency to agglomerate limits their catalytic efficiency. To address this, we synthesized a Cu-MMT/CS (montmorillonite/chitosan) composite catalyst via a straightforward two-step pyrolysis method, leveraging the chelating ability of chitosan and the layered structure of montmorillonite to disperse Cu NPs. The optimized Cu-MMT/CS catalyst achieved exceptional performance, removing more than 98 % of Cr(VI) within 6 min via formic acid (FA) as a reductant, and maintained its high efficiency even in the presence of common environmental anions such as Cl - 、NO 3 - 、SO 4 2- 、CO 3 2- 、H 2 PO 4 - . The uniformly dispersed Cu nanoparticles serve as the active sites for the catalytic reaction, while the high degree of graphitization of the carrier (MMT/CS structure) and the low charge transfer resistance facilitate charge transfer between the catalyst and FA, promoting the decomposition of FA to produce active hydrogen, which in turn enhances the ability to reduce Cr(VI). This study offers a cost-effective, environmentally friendly solution for Cr(VI) reduction, advancing the design of sustainable nonprecious metal-based catalysts for wastewater treatment.

Seawater splitting to produce hydrogen holds promise for renewable energy but faces challenges from chloride ions, causing electrode corrosion and competition between chlorine oxidation reaction (ClOR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Therefore, it is crucial to develop highly efficient and stable electrocatalysts for seawater splitting. Here, we employ a dual-doping strategy of Mo/Cr cations and a sulfuration approach to fabricate the S-MoCr-NiFe@NF bifunctional catalyst with a 3D nano-flower structure. The S-MoCr-NiFe@NF catalyst exhibits remarkable catalytic performance for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in 1.0 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl and 1.0 M KOH + Seawater, achieving current densities of 10 mA cm −2 at low overpotentials of 116 and 141 mV, respectively. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the S-MoCr-NiFe@NF catalyst exhibited remarkable performance in alkaline overall seawater splitting, requiring only 1.48 and 1.57 V to achieve current densities of 10 mA cm −2 in 1.0 M KOH + 0.5 M NaCl and 1.0 M KOH + Seawater, respectively. The in-situ Raman and DFT calculations confirm Ni as the primary active sites, reducing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step and enhancing OER performance. This study will offer a viable approach to developing and creating highly effective bifunctional catalysts for seawater splitting.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) adsorbent Mil-101(Cr) was introduced for the removal of elemental mercury from sintering flue gas. Physical and chemical characterization of the adsorbents showed that MIL-101(Cr) had the largest BET surface area, high thermal stability and oxidation capacity. Hg 0 removal performance analysis indicated that the Hg 0 removal efficiency of MIL-101(Cr) increased with the increasing temperature and oxygen content. Besides, MIL-101(Cr) had the highest Hg 0 removal performance compared with Cu-BTC, UiO-66 and activated carbon, which can reach about 88% at 250 °C. The XPS and Hg-TPD methods were used to analyze the Hg 0 removal mechanism; the results show that Hg 0 was first adsorbed on the surface of Mil-101(Cr), and then oxidized by the open metal site Cr 3+ . The generated Hg 2+ was then combined surface adsorbed oxygen of adsorbent to form HgO, and the open metal site Cr 2+ was oxidized to Cr 3+ by surface active oxygen again. Furthermore, MIL-101(Cr) had good chemical and thermal stability.

An solar-light-driven and bifunctional photocatalyst was designed for photo-reduction of Cr(VI) and selective photo-oxidation of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde in the presence of water under ambient conditions. Double-shelled and sandwiched TiO 2 @Pt@CeO 2 hollow spheres were prepared by using functionalized polystyrene spheres, sol-gel, hydrothermal reaction, and calcination. The Pt nanoparticles (NPs) were controllably loaded between the TiO 2 shell and CeO 2 shell. Under solar-light irradiation, the photo-reduction rate of Cr(VI) (μmol h −1 ) was in the order of TiO 2 @Pt@CeO 2 (1.901) > TiO 2 @CeO 2 (1.424) > TiO 2 (1.040) > CeO 2 (0.992). Among the above-mentioned photocatalysts, the conversion rate of benzyl alcohol for TiO 2 @Pt@CeO 2 was also the best. These results were attributed to the combination of TiO 2 and CeO 2 as photocatalyst and oxygen buffer, the double-shelled and sandwiched nanostructure, and the addition of Pt NPs as cocatalyst and electron trap site, which could store and shuttle photo-generated electrons, reduce the recombination of the electron-hole, and then enhance photo-generation of active radicals. This conclusion was verified by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Considering the versatile combination of photocatalyst, oxygen buffer and cocatalyst, this work could provide new insights into the design of high-performance bifunctional photocatalysts for heavy metal removal and selective synthesis.

Visible-light-driven photocatalysis as a promising technology has recently attracted great attention in environmental remediation. In this work, novel Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts Ag 3 PO 4 @MWCNTs@Cr:SrTiO 3 with excellent visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance and photostability were successfully synthesized and characterized. The photocatalytic activity for malachite green (MG) degradation was measured, and photodegradation mechanisms were investigated using GC–MS, ESR, and radical trapping experiments. On consideration of the practical applications, the effects of coexisting ions and pH were also evaluated. Results showed that significant changes of crystal size and micro-morphology for Ag 3 PO 4 were observed before and after the addition of MWCNTs, which transformed from a polyhedron with a diameter of about 30 μm into a spherical-like crystal with a diameter of 0.28–0.69 μm. This phenomenon was reported for the first time. The optimal catalyst with a dosage of 100 mg/g (the mass ratio of pollutant to photocatalyst) could reach 100% MG removal in 6 and 10 min under natural solar radiation and visible light irradiation, respectively. Results from the radical trapping experiments and ESR analysis confirmed that there existed the Z-scheme transfer mechanisms, and O 2 − and h + played an important role during the photocatalytic degradation. Several small molecular organic acids such as acetic acid, glyoxylic acid, fumaric acid and benzoic acid were detected by GC–MS in the photodegradation products of MG, which further indicates that photocatalytic degradation pathway involved N -demethylation, benzene removal and open-ring reactions. The performance of the photocatalyst would be inhibited under strong acid condition or at the coexistence of certain concentration of Cr 6+ and Cl − . The novel addition of MWCNTs in the preparation and the changes of crystal structure and properties for the photocatalysts have the potential to promote the application of the photocatalysts for environmental remediation.
