文摘Synthetic dyes,particularly azo dyes,pose significant environmental and health risks due to their persistence,toxicity,and potential carcinogenicity.Zinc oxide(ZnO)is a promising photocatalyst for wastewater remediation,but its wide bandgap and rapid charge recombination limit its practical efficacy.Furthermore,conventional doping methods often rely on hazardous chemical precursors,undermining the sustainability of the overall approach.This review introduces a novel and sustainable paradigm:the utilization of biomass-derived precursors as green reagents for the in-situ synthesis and simultaneous phosphorus-nitrogen(P-N)co-doping of ZnO nanoparticles.We critically analyze how the intrinsic biochemical composition of biomass,rich in P,N,and other heteroatoms,facilitates this one-pot,eco-friendly functionalization.This integrated strategy merges the performance enhancement offered by advanced co-doping,such as extended visible-light absorption and suppressed charge recombination,with the core principles of green chemistry and circular economy.It offers a dual benefit:creating highly effective photocatalysts for the degradation of persistent pollutants and valorizing abundant agricultural or biological waste streams.Our comprehensive evaluation goes beyond description to critically assess the underlying mechanisms,comparative efficacy,scalability challenges,and future research directions of this emerging field.This review underscores the unique contribution of biomass-mediated synthesis to advancing sustainable nanotechnology for environmental applications.

文摘In this study,Palm kernel shell(PKS)is utilized as a raw material to produce activated biochar as adsorbent for dye removal from wastewater,specifically methylene blue(MB)dye,by utilizing a simplified and costeffective approach.Production of activated biocharwas carried out using both a furnace and a domesticmicrowave oven without an inert atmosphere.Three samples of palm kernel shell(PKS)based activated biochar labeled as samples A,B and C were carbonized inside the furnace at 800℃ for 1 h and then activated using the microwave-heating technique with varying heating times(0,5,10,and 15 min).The heating was conducted in the absence of an inert gas.Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR)highlighted a significant Si-O stretching vibration between 1040.5 to 692.7 cm−1,indicating the presence of key components(Silica and Alumina)in all PKS-based activated biochar samples.For wastewater treatment,activated biochar samples were tested against a 20 mg/LMethylene Blue(MB)solution,and the MB percentage removal was calculated for each run using a standard curve.Central Composite Design(CCD)experiments were conducted for optimization,with activated biochar Sample C exhibiting the highest adsorption capacity at 88.14%MB removal under specific conditions.ANOVA analysis confirmed the significance of the quadratic model,with a p-value of 0.0222 and R^(2)=0.9438.In conclusion,the results demonstrated the efficiency of PKS-based activated biochar as an adsorbent for MB removal in comparison to other commercial adsorbents.

文摘Color filters are essential components for optical modulation.However,conventional filters are restricted to operating exclusively in either reflective or transmissive mode.Furthermore,they suffer from limited UV and thermal stability,low color purity,and exhibit identical coloration on both surfaces.Herein,we propose a novel design strategy for trans-reflective color filters by integrating the absorptive properties of dye-doped polysulfone(PSU)with the diffractive capabilities of photonic crystals.This composite filter achieved broad-spectrum transmission with deep color outputs—yellow(0.410,0.510),magenta(0.446,0.231),and cyan(0.201,0.425)—closely aligned with standard color space coordinates.By tuning the refractive index of CeO_(2)@SiO_(2)nanoparticles to match dye-based PSU matrix,the transmittance of filters exceeded 70%.Moreover,dye-mediated absorption reduces the scattering light,thereby enhancing reflection color purity(full width at half maxima(FWHM)=25 nm)and producing vibrant blue,green,and red hues.The incorporation of UV-absorbing CeO_(2)@SiO_(2)nanoparticles effectively mitigated dye photodegradation,yielding exceptional UV stability(ΔT<2%under prolonged UV exposure).The filters also exhibited outstanding thermal stability(ΔT<1%after 30 min heat treatment at 230°C).This work establishes a robust materials design framework for multifunctional optical filters,advancing the development of highfidelity dual-mode color systems for next-generation display technologies.

文摘The microbial degradation of aromatic organic pollutants is incomplete due to their metabolic characteristics,which can easily produce certain highly toxic intermediates.Therefore,this article designs a dual template molec-ularly imprinted sensor(DTMIP/Fe-Mn@C)for iron manganese metal nanomaterials,prepared Fe-Mn@C com-posite materials by a one pot method were coated on the surface of glassy carbon electrodes and covered with molecularly imprinted membranes through electropolymerization and elution methods,achieving real-time de-tection of specific intermediate products 2-methylbutyric acid(2-MBA)and 3-methylbutyric acid(3-MBA)de-graded by azo dyes.In order to determine the detection sensitivity and intensity range of the sensor,optimization experiments were conducted on various parameters that affect the detection performance,such as the type of func-tional monomer and its composition ratio with the template molecule,detection time window,environmental pH value,etc.Finally,o-Phenylenediamine was determined as the functional monomer,with a molar ratio of 1:1:6 to the template molecules 2-MBA and 3-MBA.Electrochemical testing was conducted in a neutral environment with an incubation time of 5 min and pH=7.The results indicate that the sensor has a relatively wide detection range,high sensitivity,obvious recognition features,and excellent stability for 2-MBA and 3-MBA.This new dual template molecularly imprinted sensor can quickly and accurately determine the safety of highly toxic interme-diates in the degradation process of aromatic organic pollutants,providing a theoretical basis and application potential for trace detection and real-time monitoring.

文摘The level of glutathione(GSH)is significantly associated with numerous pathological processes,thus,real-time detection of the GSH level is of significance for early diagnosis of GSH-related diseases.Herein,we developed in vivo second near-infrared(NIR-II)window fluorescence(FL)and ratiometric photoacoustic(RPA)dual-modality imaging of GSH using a GSH-activatable probe(LET-14).LET-14 was synthesized based on a rhodamine hybrid xanthene skeleton with a FL shielding 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonyl group that can be specifically cleaved by GSH,thus resulting in a markedly bathochromic-shift absorption,a 6.5-fold increase in NIR-II FL intensity(FL_(920))and a 13-fold increase in RPA signal(PA_(880)/PA_(705))in vitro.Intriguingly,LET-14 exhibits good selectivity and sensitivity for NIR-II FL and RPA dual-modality imaging of GSH in 4T1 tumor-bearing mouse model.Our findings develop an in vivo detection tool of GSH,which has great potential in the field of cancer diagnosis.

文摘Traditional nanofiltration membranes face challenges such as membrane fouling and difficulties in achieving precise separation of small organic molecules.A promising solution to these issues is the preparation of thin-film nanocomposite membranes.In this study,Cu and Ag bimetals were incorporated into covalent organic frameworks to fabricate thin-film nanocomposite membranes.The hydrophilic monomer 1,3,5-tris(4-aminophenyl)benzene of covalent organic frameworks was introduced as a water phase monomer during interfacial polymerization to enhance the organic-inorganic compatibility.The incorporated covalent organic frameworks within the thin-film nanocomposite membrane loosened the selective layer,resulting in an enhanced permeability of 24.6 LMH bar^(-1).The membrane exhibited a rejection rate over 99.0%for Congo Red,Xylene Brilliant Cyanine G,and Reactive Blue,while exhibiting relatively low rejection rates of MgCl_(2) and NaCl.Moreover,the outstanding catalytic capability of the incorporated bimetals led to a 4-nitrophenol conversion rate of 84.38%,enabling simultaneous conversion and separation.The integration of covalent organic frameworks and bimetals also imparted robust antibacterial properties,significantly enhancing operational stability.In conclusion,the covalent organic framework-Cu/Ag-based thin-film nanocomposite membrane demonstrated superior catalytic and separation capabilities,presenting a promising alternative for advanced filtration applications.
