The Fenton system (Fe2+/H2O2) generates ·OH with a high oxidation potential. However, as reactants themselves, H2O2 and Fe2+ can act as ·OH initiators as well as ·OH scavengers, leading to the need for a high dosage of reactants and increased costs. As a mixing-sensitive reaction, the ·OH-related reaction kinetics (·OH with Fe2+, H2O2, and RhB) was determined from the reaction rates (which were a constant in this work) and stoichiometry, in which the latter could be regulated by an addition strategy of Fenton reagents. This suggests that ·OH competitive reactions could be controlled by applying a macrolevel addition strategy. Herein, the effects of different addition approaches of Fe2+ and H2O2 on ·OH competitive reactions were quantitatively and systematically studied by analyzing the removal of the model pollutant RhB. We found that without stirring, and compared with a one-time addition, once H2O2 or Fe2+ was added in a step-wise pattern (e.g., one drop by one drop, 2 times, or 4 times), a high concentration of H2O2 or Fe2+ existed in a localized place for a longer period, resulting in a lower proportion of ·OH reacting with RhB, which we ascribed to an enhanced reaction between Fe2+, H2O2, and ·OH. However, when H2O2 and Fe2+ were added from two close points without stirring, a larger proportion of ·OH was scavenged by H2O2 and Fe2+; while under stirring, even a one-time addition of H2O2 or Fe2+ could cause severe scavenging of ·OH. The results also revealed a linear relationship between the RhB removal percentage and wavelength blue-shifts. This study showed that microlevel ·OH competitive reactions could be controlled by applying a macrolevel addition strategy of Fenton reagents without the addition of external chemicals. The results suggest this methodology can also offer an approach to lower ·OH invalid consumption by regulating the addition strategy in bigger reactors.

A cellulose-based paper chemodosimeter was designed and prepared by reactions of Rhodamine B with natural cellulose paper. Its sensing property to Hg 2+ was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopies . While the Hg 2+ -indicating paper was immersed into the Hg 2+ solution, the ring of the rhodamine spirolactam opened and the thiosemicarbazide moiety would undergo an irreversible desulfurization reaction to form its corresponding oxadiazole structure, a colorful and fluorescent product. The color change can be discerned by a naked eye under the irradiation of 365 nm UV light . The Hg 2+ -indicating paper displayed excellent selective toward Hg 2+ over other commonly metal ions and the sensitive detection of Hg 2+ was not interfered by other heavy metal ions. The results suggested that the Hg 2+ -indicating paper would serve as a practical fluorescent chemodosimeter for rapid and convenience detection of Hg 2+ .

BACKGROUND The treatment of industrial wastewater containing chromium (Cr(VI)) and rhodamine B (RhB) is a critical environmental protection issue. Fenton-like systems have been widely considered for their potential in wastewater treatment, but developing efficient and practical Fenton-like materials and methods remains a key challenge. This study focuses on exploring the effectiveness of a Fenton-like system composed of a zero-valent iron-based composite material (HTCTSIP-5) and exogenous hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) for the removal of Cr(VI) and RhB from wastewater. RESULTS The effects of various parameters, including dosing methods, pH levels, content of HTCTSIP-5 and H₂O₂, and initial concentrations, on the removal efficiency were studied. Techniques such as electron paramagnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were employed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of removal of Cr(VI) and RhB. The results revealed that the HTCTSIP-5/H₂O₂ system exhibited high removal efficiencies for both Cr(VI) and RhB, with hydroxyl radicals ( • OH) identified as the key agents in RhB degradation. CONCLUSION This study confirms that the use of the HTCTSIP-5/H₂O₂ Fenton-like system is an effective approach for the treatment of wastewater containing Cr(VI) and RhB. It provided an effective material and method for industrial wastewater treatment, offering a valuable approach for environmental protection. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).

A cobalt oxide-decorated hollow carbon nitride ( g -C 3 N 4 ) photocatalyst was synthesized and evaluated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, with particular attention to removal efficiency, matrix tolerance, and stability. Characterization showed that cobalt oxide species were finely dispersed on the g -C 3 N 4 framework, and the modified composite exhibited a narrower band gap and suppressed charge-carrier recombination relative to pristine g -C 3 N 4 . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy further suggested interfacial Co-N/Co-O interaction and mixed cobalt valence states. The optimized catalyst achieved more than 95% RhB removal within 30 min under the selected conditions. It retained activity in the presence of common coexisting ions, maintained over 80% degradation efficiency after five reuse cycles, and remained effective after 28 days of storage. Effective degradation was also observed in lake water and paper mill effluent, and methyl violet was removed in these complex matrices, indicating the applicability of the catalyst to dye-containing wastewater. Mechanistic studies showed that •O₂ − and •OH were the dominant reactive species. Density functional theory and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) were further combined to identify preferential radical attack sites and elucidate the major transformation pathways of RhB. The degradation proceeded mainly through sequential de-ethylation, chromophore cleavage, and ring-opening reactions, ultimately yielding low-molecular-weight aromatic acids, including benzoic acid and o-phthalic acid. Toxicity estimation using the Toxicity Estimation Software Tool (T.E.S.T) model suggested that the final products were associated with lower ecological risk than the parent dye. These results indicate that cobalt oxide modification enhances the photocatalytic performance of g -C 3 N 4 for dye-containing wastewater treatment.

As a primary goal, The fast recombination of stimulated excitons and poor visible light response are key problems in the photocatalysis field. Combining with materials with good visible light responses to form heterogeneous structures is still the most effective way. In this study, BiOBr/UiO-66-NH2 photocatalyst was synthesized by a simple method. BiOBr is a 3D spherical structure stacked by nanosheets, which enhance its adsorption capacity for pollutants and catalyze the dark reaction to reach the equilibrium point for too long. Coupling with UiO-66-NH2, its adsorption capacity was inhibited and the dark reaction time was shortened. The excellent removal rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) by BiOBr/UiO-66-NH2 reached 96.79% after 30 min of visible light irradiation and 99.37% after 90 min. With an increase in pollutant concentration, the composite still showed excellent photocatalytic performance. This study also tried to abandon the dark adsorption stage and directly degraded RhB efficiently and quickly under visible light. Finally, the photocatalytic enhancement mechanism was proposed.

The opacity, fragility, and environmental unfriendliness of the traditional photocatalytic matrix cannot fully utilize the properties of photocatalysts and efficiently degrade pollutants. In this work, a transparent wood hydrogel with a core–shell structure was developed using transparent wood (TW) impregnated with polyacrylic acid (PAA) as the core layer and Bi-N-carbon dots/BiOBr (Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr) photocatalyst-initiated polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) monomers as the shell layer. In the shell layer, nanoscale CDs with rich hydrophilic groups built a link between BiOBr and PAA and strengthened the adsorption–photocatalysis synergistic removal for RhB. The original wood backbone well conserved during preparation led to an anisotropic structure in the resultant Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr@TW photocatalytic wood hydrogel. Namely, after introducing Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr as the linker and reinforcing agent, the tensile strength was up to 3.2 and 11.03 MPa along the radial (R-) and axial (A-) directions, which was 1.6- and 1.06-fold of R-TW and A-TW, respectively. Hence, Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr@TW with high strength furnishes multiple separations and reutilizations, and the RhB removal rate is approximately 85% after five cycles. The Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr@TW exhibited light transmittance up to 64.6 and 52.3% at 800 nm along the R- and A-directions, respectively. Moreover, the adsorption–photocatalysis synergistic rate of Bi-N-CDs/BiOBr@TW reached 93% in 300 min at pH = 7. This paper offers a strategy for fabricating wood hydrogels with outstanding stretchability, transparency, dye removal efficiency, and recyclability, opening a significant route for alleviating dye pollution.

In the present work, the degradation pathways and mechanism of rhodamine B (RhB) using a novel liquid film dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor were examined. Moreover, the optimization of the performance of DBD was discussed. The results showed that the atmosphere of the discharge area and the input power had a significant effect on the removal of RhB. After 21 min of treatment using DBD plasma system, about 90.2 % of RhB was degraded under the following experimental conditions: initial RhB concentration of 40 mg/L; input power of 125 W and initial pH of 6.78. The use of free radical scavengers proved that hydroxyl radicals played a key role in the degradation of RhB. In addition, the degradation intermediates of RhB were identified using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, and possible degradation pathways were proposed. During the degradation of RhB, with the extension of treatment time, the values of COD , BOD 5 and TOC decreased. After the treatment using DBD plasma, the BOD 5 /COD of RhB solution increased from 0.0326 to 0.3867, and the biodegradability was also observed to have greatly improved. The potential toxicity was predicted by US-EPA-TEST software.

It is important for organic pollutants to be completely degraded without intermediates. In this work, a novel wide-spectrum-response oxygen-rich double direct Z-scheme heterojunction-structured photocatalyst, g-C 3 N 4 (precursor: urea, CN-U)/g-C 3 N 4 (precursor: thiourea, CN-T)/Bi 2 WO 6 (UTB), was prepared. The ternary system was confirmed by structural analysis and surface and morphological studies. The photocatalytic performances of the synthesized catalysts were estimated by photodegrading rhodamine B (RhB) solution. A more than 92 % mineralization and improved photocatalytic activity were achieved. UTB showed an outstanding photocatalytic performance for RhB degradation compared to CN-T, CN-U, Bi 2 WO 6 , and their binary nanocomposites.The improved photocatalytic properties and n more than 92 % mineralization were attributed to the double direct Z-scheme and oxygen vacancies, which maintained the outstanding redox capability of the electrons, expanded the range of light absorption, and facilitated the separation of photogenerated carriers. This study has demonstrated the prospect in obtaining a double Z-scheme structured photocatalysts with simultaneously high redox potential and narrow E g . This work has also offered a new strategy for fabricating low-consumption and efficient photocatalysts that mineralize more than 92 % of organic pollutants without existing intermediates.

The development of traditional photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) is severely hindered by poor visible-light response and limited reaction space. In this study, a visible-light responsive PFC with g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/Ti photoanode was proposed and applied to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to degrade rhodamine B. The degradation rate, maximum power density and maximum photocurrent density of the PMS/PFC system were respectively 95.39%, 103.87 μW cm −2 and 0.62 mA cm −2 , which was respectively 1.28, 2.18, and 1.98 times that of PFC. The excellent performance is attributed to the production of more reactive oxygen species and the extension of the reaction space range after the activation of PMS. The activation pathway of PMS and charge transfer pathway of the photoanode were discussed in detail, and it was proposed that PMS was activated by Z-scheme heterojunction g-C 3 N 4 /BiOI/Ti photoanode.

In food safety assessment, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a novel detection method with the advantages of being fast, easy, and of high sensitivity. However, many SERS substrate synthesis methods are complex, and there are only a few studies on the simultaneous detection of multiple substances. In this study, a new, simple, low-cost SERS substrate was synthesised for the first time to simultaneously detect illegal food additives rhodamine B and basic orange II in chilli products. A lightweight, porous, and low-cost material of melamine foam (MF) was employed as the SERS synthesis template. The substrate’s SERS effect on, and sensitivity to, rhodamine B and basic orange II were demonstrated. The molecular vibration and SERS enhancement mechanisms of the two target molecules were analysed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The results reveal that this fabricated substrate has great application potential for the supervision and testing industry.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) is a fascinating nonmetallic photocatalyst for the removal of environmental pollutants. The fumed silica/g-C 3 N 4 (gCN-FS) composite photocatalysts were successfully fabricated by a combination of solvent volatilization and post-annealing methods. The introduction of SiO 2 not only widens the absorption range of visible light, but also enhances the specific surface area of g-C 3 N 4 . The gCN-FS-3 composite has a BET surface area of 129.89 m 2 /g, which is ~3.3 times as much as that of g-C 3 N 4 (39.54 m 2 /g). The gCN-FS composites have markedly improved rhodamine B (RhB) photodegradation activity in comparison to pure g-C 3 N 4 , bulk g-C 3 N 4 and P25 under 557 nm yellow-green light emitting diode light irradiation. The gCN-FS-3 has the highest RhB photodegradation rate, which is ~9.67-, 11.81-folds as compared to bare g-C 3 N 4 and bulk g-C 3 N 4 , respectively. The coupling effect between the increase in specific surface areas and the inhibition effect of SiO 2 on photogenerated electron/hole pairs recombination is responsible for the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity of gCN-FS composite. Superoxide and holes are responsible for the RhB photocatalytic degradation. Furthermore, no apparent loss of photocatalytic activity over five cycles is observed, which indicates that the gCN-FS composites have considerable stability and reusability in the photodegradation process. The gCN-FS composites show great promise in visible light driven photocatalysis for environmental applications.

Co/Fe co-doped porous graphite carbon (Co/Fe-PGC) nanocomposites were successfully prepared by one-step pyrolysis with CoFe-MOF, in which the Co/Fe nanoparticles were uniformly coated on porous graphite carbon derived from MOF. It was used to microelectrolysis-Fenton degrade rhodamine B through the main active substance ∙OH. The color and TOC removal rate of 100 mg/L rhodamine B reached 99.41% and 64.6%, respectively, for 30 min. Rhodamine B was degraded into small molecular organic acids, alcohols and lipids by N-demethylation and chromophore cleavage, until it was finally degraded into CO 2 and H 2 O, and no new colored organics were produced in the degradation process. The degradation process follows the first-order reaction kinetics, and its rate constant is much higher than that of the previous similar studies. The excellent catalytic performance of Co/Fe-PGC catalyst is attributed to the coupling effect of micro-electrolysis and Fenton reaction, and the acceleration of cobalt on electron transport and Fe 2+ reduction. Co 0 /Fe 0 undergoes galvanic corrosion to generate Co 2+ /Fe 2+ and H 2 O 2 , and then these products undergo Fenton reaction to generate Co 3+ /Fe 3+ and ∙OH, thus forming a circulating system of Co 3+ /Fe 3+ and Co 2+ /Fe 2+ , enhancing the activation of H 2 O 2 and ensuring the efficient degradation of RhB.
