Commercial molybdenum carbide (Mo 2 C) and ferrous iron (Fe 2+ ) were investigated for the first time to co-catalyze the activation of H 2 O 2 for the treatment of organic contaminants . Compared with traditional Fenton process, the presence of Mo 2 C decomposed hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) more effectively and accelerated the conversion of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ . The Rhodamine B (RhB) degradation rate constant in Mo 2 C/Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 reached appropriately three times that in Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 , and the co-catalytic reactivity of Mo 2 C was significantly higher than that of MoS 2 . In addition, Mo 2 C/Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 exhibited a board effective pH range of 2.8–8.8, and four-cycle experiments confirmed the stability and reusability of Mo 2 C. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that Mo(Ⅱ) and Mo(IV) played major roles in Fe 3+ reduction. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance analysis and quenching experiments demonstrated that hydroxyl radical (·OH), superoxide anion radical (O 2 − ) and singlet oxygen radical ( 1 O 2 ) were all involved in Mo 2 C/Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 . Particularly, Mo 2 C/Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 significantly enhanced the generation of ·OH and 1 O 2 in comparison to Fe 2+ /H 2 O 2 . Moreover, toxicity assessment analysis by ECOSAR suggested that the toxicity of most degradation products of RhB decreased after treatment. Overall, this study offers a promising Mo 2 C co-catalyzed Fenton process for rapid and efficient abatement of organic contaminants.

Iron-based catalysts have garnered great attention as alternatives for Fenton-like catalysts in the degradation of organic compounds. However, there is a demand for the synthesis of highly efficient iron-based catalysts that can solve the problems of iron dissolution and poor stability. Herein, nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon-supported Fe-Co/Fe 3 C dual active sites catalyst (Fe-Co/Fe 3 C-NC) is successfully prepared by ball milling method combined with subsequent high-temperature self-reduction. 0.5 wt%-Fe-Co/Fe 3 C-NC shows high efficiency in the activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the ultrafast degradation of high concentration Rhodamine B (200 mg/L of RhB is completely degraded within 8 min and the degradation rate constant is as high as 0.5066 min −1 ), as well as high stability and good reproducibility, attributing to the synergistic mechanism between the dual active sites (Fe-Co and Fe 3 C) and the adsorption sites (Fe 3 C and pyrrolic-N). Chemical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance indicate that the prepared 0.5 wt%-Fe-Co/Fe 3 C-NC exhibits outstanding activation for PMS by generating reactive oxygen species (SO 4 •− , • OH, 1 O 2 ) and high-valent FeCo=O species. This work shows useful insights into the synthesis of iron-based dual active sites catalysts, providing exciting chances for the highly efficient degradation of high concentration organic wastewater.

Visible-light responsive two-dimensional (2D) MXene heterostructure photocatalysts with synergistic photoelectron migration represent a practical approach with potential applications in water remediation. The present study reports the facile in-situ solvothermal synthesis of a heterojunction composite comprising Ti 3 C 2 T x /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 . The novel composite photocatalyst exhibits remarkable visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity towards complete degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC-HCl), rhodamine B (RhB), and methyl orange (MO) by TB-20 within 20, 50, and 60 min of illumination, respectively. Furthermore, the exposed facet Ti 3 C 2 T x /Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 heterojunction exhibits a synergistic effect with photocatalytic reactions, as evidenced by the transfer of photogenerated carriers and generation of O 2 − , thereby enhancing the performance of catalytic degradation of organic dyes. This study advances the development of photocatalysis by utilizing the MXene substrate to fabricate hierarchical structure composites, enabling efficient degradation of antibiotics and solar energy conversion for future applications.

In this work, a cost-efficient activated carbon (Ac)/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 photocatalyst was successfully prepared for organic pollutant degradation in wastewater under simulated sunlight irradiation. The crystal structure, surface composition, morphology and optical properties of the prepared composites were systematically characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, EDS, SEM, XPS and ESR. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared Ac/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 composites was evaluated by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and cefixime under visible light irradiation. Additionally, the Ac/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 composites displayed stronger photocatalytic activity compared with pure Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 . Particularly, the 30% Ac/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 composite displayed the strongest degradation rate of cefixime and RhB, which is about 2 and 4 times to Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 . Furthermore, the enhanced photocatalytic activity of Ac/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 composites was attributed to its stronger adsorption property, improved separation rate of photogenerated charge carriers and light capture ability. The degradation intermediates and pathway of cefixime was analyzed with HPLC-MS. The main actives species in the Ac/Bi 4 O 5 Br 2 composites are h + , ·O 2 – , ·OH as analyzed with the multiple techniques. This work provided an alternative strategy to treat the organic contaminants in wastewater with Bi x O y Br z -based photocatalyst.

Fenton-like catalysts have usually superior catalytic activities, however, some drawbacks of ion leaching and difficult-to-recovery limit their applications. In this work, a hierarchical porous Fe 3 O 4 /Co 3 S 4 catalyst was fabricated via a simple phase change reaction to overcome these shortcomings. The introduced iron cooperates with cobalt achieving high-efficiency activation of peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to eliminate Rhodamine B (RhB). The results showed that 0.05 g/L Fe 3 O 4 /Co 3 S 4 and 1 mM PMS could quickly remove 100% of 200 mg/L RhB within 20 min, and the removal rate of RhB remained above 82% after 5 cycles. Moreover, the as-prepared Fe 3 O 4 /Co 3 S 4 possessed a great magnetic separation capacity and good stability of low metal leaching dose. Radical quenching experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques proved that sulfate radicals (SO 4 •− ) were the dominant reactive oxygen species responding for RhB degradation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) pointed out that the synergism of sulfur promoted the cycling of Co 3+ /Co 2+ and Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ , boosting the electron transfer between Fe 3 O 4 /Co 3 S 4 and PMS. Moreover, the degradation pathways of RhB were deduced by combining liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The toxicities of RhB and its intermediates were evaluated as well, which provided significant assistance in the exploration of their ecological risks.

Semiconductor photocatalysis has driven considerable interests for its desirable potential to tackle the worldwide energy shortage and environmental pollution. In this paper, a novel Bi 5 O 7 I/Bi 2 SiO 5 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was in situ synthesized via a co-crystallization process and partial anion exchange strategy. The XRD and FT-IR pattern validated the successful preparation of the heterojunction. The optimal Bi 5 O 7 I/Bi 2 SiO 5 heterojunction displayed an excellent photocatalytic activity towards the ciprofloxacin under the simulated solar light, and the rate constant (0.46021 h −1 ) was 2 and 7.8 times higher than that of pure BiOI (0.22967 h −1 ) and Bi 2 SiO 5 (0.05877 h −1 ). Similarly, the degradation efficiency on rhodamine B (RhB) reached 94%, which was much higher than that of the single photocatalysis. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction photocatalyst could be attributed to the formation of the direct Z-scheme heterojunction between the Bi 5 O 7 I and Bi 2 SiO 5 , which was favorable for retarding the recombination of photoinduced electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the bacteriostatic activity testing illustrated the toxicity of drug solutions decreased sharply after the photocatalytic degradation with the Bi 5 O 7 I/Bi 2 SiO 5 -3. The ESR characterization analysis and the free radical trapping experiments synergistically determined the Z-scheme electron transfer path of the heterojunction. The possible photocatalytic mechanism of Bi 5 O 7 I/Bi 2 SiO 5 heterojunction was proposed. Overall, the well-designed Bi 5 O 7 I/Bi 2 SiO 5 heterojunction depicted great practical promise in efficient treatment of organic pollutants.

Internal reference probes can effectively eliminate internal and external interferences. Hence, finding a suitable internal reference probe is the key to ratiometric electrochemistry. In this study, a simple and sensitive ratiometric electrochemical sensor for the determination of rutin was prepared for the first time using rhodamine B (Rh B) as an internal reference probe. The modified electrochemical sensor was constructed by electrodepositing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a glassy carbon electrode followed by drop-coating chitosan-immobilized rhodamine B (CS@Rh B). Rh B has a dual function in that it has a stable electrochemical signal (1.18 V) (vs. Ag/AgCl) that is completely separated from the oxidation peak of rutin (0.52 V) to serve as an internal reference probe. At the same time, it synergistically enhances the electrochemical signal of rutin with AuNPs. When differential pulse voltammetry was used for the determination of rutin, the current ratio of IRutin/IRh B was employed as the signal for rutin determination with a wide linear range (0.1 to 70 μM) and a low detection line (0.028 μM). The recoveries for the determination of rutin in Coreopsis tinctoria and Buckwheat tea were 95.4%–106% and 95.3%–104%, respectively. This work successfully demonstrated the feasibility of Rh B as an internal reference probe.

A special self-designed device based on poly-1-vinyl-3-pentylimidazole hexafluorophosphate (PILs-C5) solid-phase extraction and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is proposed as a novel method for the on-line separation and analysis of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye. Single factor experiment design and orthogonal experiment design were used to optimize the experimental parameters, such as pH, the amount of PILs-C5, sample volume, flow rate, eluent type, eluent concentration, eluent volume, and the flow rate of eluent. Under the optimized conditions, the linear range was 0.02–2.4 μg mL−1, with the correlation coefficients (R2) of 0.997. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.004 μg mL−1 and 0.02 μg mL−1, respectively. The extraction capacity was 6.22 mg g−1, and enrichment ratio was 15. The extraction mechanism and the post-treatment method of PILs-C5 were also studied. This method was applied to analyze RhB in a wide variety of real samples with satisfactory results.

Continuous-flow photoreactors hold great promise for the highly efficient photodegradation of pollutants due to their continuity and sustainability. However, how to enable a continuous-flow photoreactor with the combined features of high photodegradation efficiency and durability as well as broad-wavelength light absorption and large-scale processing remains a significant challenge. Herein, we demonstrate a facile and effective strategy to construct a sieve-like carbon nanotube (CNT)/TiO2nanowire film (SCTF) with superior flexibility (180° bending), high tensile strength (75–82 MPa), good surface wettability, essential light penetration and convenient visible light absorption. Significantly, the unique architecture, featuring abundant, well-ordered and uniform mesopores with ca. 70 µm in diameter, as well as a homogenous distribution of TiO2nanowires with an average diameter of ca. 500 nm, could act as a “waterway” for efficient solution infiltration through the SCTF, thereby, enabling the photocatalytic degradation of polluted water in a continuous-flow mode. The optimized SCTF-2.5 displayed favorable photocatalytic behavior with 96% degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) within 80 min and a rate constant of 0.0394 min−1. The continuous-flow photodegradation device made using SCTF-2.5 featured exceptional photocatalytic behavior for the continuous degradation of RhB under simulated solar irradiation with a high degradation ratio (99.6%) and long-term stability (99.2% retention after working continuously for 72 h). This work sheds light on new strategies for designing and fabricating high-performance continuous-flow photoreactors toward future uses.Keywords:sieve-like CNT film;TiO2nanowire;continuous-flow device;photodegradation;pollutant

Rhodamine B (RB), an important congeneric form of rhodamine dyes, is widely used as a colorant and tracing agent, and recent studies have shown that it is potentially harmful to wildlife and human health. To assess the toxicity of RB at the molecular level, the interaction between human serum albumin (HSA) and RB was investigated using NMR, multispectroscopic methods in combination with computational approaches. The data of NMR indicated that RB indeed bound to HSA, in which the benzene rings were spatially close to the binding site of HSA. The fluorescence results showed that RB had a moderate binding affinity to HSA and strongly quenched the intrinsic fluorescence of HSA through a static quenching mechanism. Analysis of thermodynamic parameters and the effect of ionic strength revealed that electrostatic , hydrophobic and hydrogen bond interactions played an important role in the complex formation. And the main binding region of RB was located near site I of HSA. Furthermore, the microenvironment and conformation of HSA were changed in the presence of RB, which was confirmed by the results obtained from CD, FT-IR, and synchronous fluorescence. Finally, the optimal binding mode of RB to HSA and the stability of HSA-RB complex were studied through molecular modeling methods. In short, this work would provide significant insights for understanding the transport, distribution and toxicity effect of RB when it spread in human body.

A novel dendritic silicon dioxide nanocomposite coated with a highly dispersed graphene-like boron nitride nanosheet ( g -BN(x)@SiO 2 ) was in-situ synthesized and employed as a solid-phase extraction material for the Rhodamine B (RhB) and Rhodamine 6G (R6G) enrichment in food samples prior to their quantitation by HPLC. The structures and morphologies of g -BN(x)@SiO 2 were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET and TEM. The adsorption performance and mechanism were investigated and showed an enhanced maximum adsorption capacity of 625 mg/g for RhB on the nanocomposite loaded with 1% of g -BN via a fast, spontaneous process. Under optimal extraction conditions, this method showed low detection and quantification limits (2.8 μg/L for RhB, 2.1 μg/L for R6G and 9.2 μg/L for RhB, 6.9 μg/L for R6G, respectively), good repeatability (RSD% <3.7%), and satisfactory spiked recoveries of 94.8%–103.1% for RhB and R6G in real chili powder and beverage. Therefore, the g -BN(1%)@SiO 2 -based materials possess significant potential.

Herein, we fabricated a C and N co-modified Nb2O5 nanonet structure (C–N/Nb2O5NNs) from niobium oxalate using 2-methylimidazole (Hmim) as a source for C and N via a simple hydrothermal route. The obtained nanonets are robust and cost-effective with excellent recycling stability. Compared with N-doped TiO2 (N-TiO2) and a Nb2O5 control sample (Nb2O5-CS), the resulting nanonets exhibited the highest performance toward the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) upon visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). Through this study, we revealed that the synergetic effects of C and N on the nanonet surface, which were effectively incorporated into the surface of the Nb2O5 nanonet structure, not only remarkably enhanced the visible light response by decreasing the bandgap to 2.9 eV but also improved the light utilization efficiency and photo-induced electron–hole pair separation efficiency of our nanonet structure. We also proposed that the presence of carbonate species (COx) and nitrogen species (NOx) increased the population of generated holes (h+) that had the key role in the photodegradation mechanism of RhB, suggesting reasonable importance for the modification of Nb2O5 with C and N. This synergism offers a new view to reveal the origin of photodegradation processes, introducing h+ as a key intermediate. Our approach provides a new insight to design 2D nanostructures with potential applications in catalysis, solar energy conversion, and environmental protection.
