Mechanistic investigation of photocatalytic degradation of Bisphenol-A using MIL-88A(Fe)/MoS2 Z-scheme heterojunction composite assisted peroxymonosulfate activation

Debashis Roy et al.

Summary: A green synthesis method was employed to synthesize a MIL-88A(Fe)/MoS2 composite photocatalyst for degrading BPA in water. 20% MoS2 doping resulted in optimal activity, increased surface area, and abundant active sites. The excellent photocatalytic activity was attributed to suitable heterojunction formation and efficient Z-scheme heterojunction.

Efficient persulfate activation by hematite nanocrystals for degradation of organic pollutants under visible light irradiation: Facet-dependent catalytic performance and degradation mechanism

Ting Guo et al.

Summary: The study reveals the facet-dependent persulfate activation by hematite crystals under visible light irradiation, with hematite nanoplates (NPs) showing superior performance in adsorption and generation of active species compared to nanocubes (NCs) and nanorods (NRs). The density functional theory (DFT) calculation confirms the higher adsorption capacity of NPs for persulfate, leading to more PS-Fe(III) complexes on the surface and production of radicals for pollutants oxidation.

Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in surface water and sediments from two urban watersheds in Nevada, USA

Xuelian Bai et al.

Summary: The study measured 17 PFAS in surface water and sediments from various locations in Nevada. Short-chain PFAS were more prevalent in water, while long-chain PFAS were more detectable in sediments. Las Vegas Wash water had significantly higher PFAS levels compared to water samples from the Truckee River.

Electron-transfer-dominated non-radical activation of peroxydisulfate for efficient removal of chlorophenol contaminants by one-pot synthesized nitrogen and sulfur codoped mesoporous carbon

Juan Yang et al.

Summary: The nitrogen and sulfur codoped mesoporous carbon (NSDMC) shows significantly enhanced adsorption and oxidative degradation capabilities for chlorophenols, attributed to increased surface area, introduced N-containing functional groups, and enhanced electron-transport performance. Synergistic effect of N and S codoping plays a key role in promoting PDS activation and chlorophenols degradation.
