Simultaneous degradation of p-nitrophenol and reduction of Cr(VI) in one step using microwave atmospheric pressure plasma

Chaoxia Zhao et al.

Summary: This study developed a new treatment method using an electrodeless high-flow microwave atmospheric plasma jet to simultaneously degrade p-nitrophenol (PNP) and reduce Cr(VI). The study found that PNP intermediates significantly affected the reduction of Cr(VI), and both long-lived H2O2 and short-lived .H aided in the reduction of Cr(VI) during plasma treatment. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS) analysis revealed that PNP intermediates function as Cr(VI) reductants. Factors that influenced simultaneous degradation and reduction included solution pH, gas velocity, and the distance between the plasma outlet and the water surface.

Onion-liked carbon-embedded graphitic carbon nitride for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and dye degradation

Yuxi Shi et al.

Summary: Limited light absorption and low charge separation rate in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based photocatalyst are overcome by embedding onion-liked carbon (OLC) structures in the matrix. The highly hybridized and electrically conductive OLC broadens visible light absorption, narrows the band gap of g-C3N4, and promotes the separation of photo-generated carriers. The g-C3N4/OLC composites show significantly increased hydrogen evolution rate and efficient degradation of RhB, demonstrating the potential of OLC in designing carbon-based photocatalysts for solar energy conversion and pollutant degradation.
