Removal of tetracycline from wastewater using g-C3N4 based photocatalysts: A review

Akash Balakrishnan et al.

Summary: Tetracycline is one of the most widely used antibiotics in human therapy, veterinary applications, and agricultural activities. Its consumption is expected to increase by over 30% by 2030. This review focuses on the recent advancements in photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline using graphitic carbon nitride-based photocatalysts, which offer higher visible light activity, low cost, and non-toxicity. The properties, worldwide consumption, occurrence, and environmental impacts of tetracycline are comprehensively discussed. The occurrence of tetracycline in various water matrices has been confirmed, with a maximum concentration of 54 μg/L. Among different graphitic carbon nitride-based materials, heterojunctions have shown the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 100% with reusability for up to 5 cycles. Photocatalytic membranes are found to be feasible due to ease of recovery and better reusability. The limitations and efficient solutions for graphitic carbon nitride-based wastewater treatment technology are also emphasized in detail.

Hepatotoxicity caused by methylparaben in adult zebrafish

Chenyan Hu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the hepatotoxicity of methylparaben (MeP) in adult zebrafish exposed to environmentally realistic concentrations of MeP. The results show that MeP exposure induces hepatocellular vacuolization in zebrafish and disrupts the balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant capacity. MeP exposure also dysregulates lipid metabolism and alters the concentrations of key metabolites. Overall, this study highlights the hepatotoxic effects of MeP even at environmentally realistic concentrations.

C-, N-Vacancy defect engineered polymeric carbon nitride towards photocatalysis: viewpoints and challenges

Abhinandan Kumar et al.

Summary: Graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4; GCN) is a metal-free polymeric semiconductor material with fascinating physicochemical and photoelectronic structural features, yet its wide-range applicability is limited by inherent drawbacks such as rapid reassembly of photocarriers and low specific surface area. Introducing vacancies into the framework of GCN to generate 0D point defects has shown potential in manipulating optical absorption, radiative carrier isolation, and surface photoreactions. Various advanced strategies for controlled designing of vacancy-rich GCN have been explored, highlighting the significance of defect engineering on optical absorption, charge isolation, and surface photoreaction ability in GCN. Applications of defect engineered GCN include photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 conversion, N-2 fixation, pollutant degradation, and H2O2 production.
