Sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes for the degradation of pharmaceuticals and personal care products: A review on relevant activation mechanisms, performance, and perspectives

Aydin Hassani et al.

Summary: Due to industrial development, more organic pollutants are being released into water. Recent research has focused on developing effective technologies for cleaning water contaminated with pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). Sulfate radicals-based advanced oxidation processes (SR-AOPs) have been widely used for their high oxidizing potential and effectiveness. This review evaluates various methods for activating peroxymonosulfate (PMS) and peroxydisulfate (PDS), such as heat, UV light, electrochemical, and nanomaterials. The review also discusses biodegradability enhancement, toxicity reduction, and comparisons with other AOPs.

Maximizing the utilization of photo-generated electrons and holes of g-C3N4 photocatalyst for harmful algae inactivation

Dongxu Wang et al.

Summary: The efficient inactivation of algae under visible light irradiation is achieved using sulfuric acid exfoliated C3N4. The positive surface charge and small sized/ultrathin structure of the photocatalyst contribute to the high performance. Addition of H2O2 further improves the efficiency by reducing carrier recombination and generating more ·OH. The inactivation process involves decreased photosynthetic activity, membrane damage, cell rupture, and partial removal of organic matters.

Understanding the mechanism of interfacial interaction enhancing photodegradation rate of pollutants at molecular level: Intermolecular π-π interactions favor electrons delivery

Qiang Zhang et al.

Summary: Uncovering the interaction between photocatalyst and reaction substrate, as well as the subsequent electron transfer process, is crucial for achieving effective photodegradation of pollutants. In this study, using the reduced density gradient (RDG) method, we simulated the pi-pi interactions between the photocatalyst g-C3N4 and the pollutant molecule FLU. The results showed that the pi-pi interactions between g-C3N4 and FLU facilitated electron delivery, leading to improved charge separation efficiency and direct oxidation of FLU. Furthermore, we found that the charge transfer rate was determined by the valence band level of g-C3N4 and the EHOMO of FLU, with a deeper valence band position favoring faster charge transfer and enhancing the photocatalytic degradation rate of FLU. Additionally, we proposed the possible degradation pathways of FLU through theoretical calculations and identified intermediates. Our work provides new insights into the degradation of pollutants and the rational design of highly efficient photocatalysts.

Electronic and Optical Properties of Polythiophene Molecules and Derivatives

Huai-Wen Tsai et al.

Summary: The electronic and optical properties of polythiophene (PT) for polymer light-emitting diodes (PLEDs) were calculated using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT. It was found that as the degree of polymerization (DP) increased, the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy decreased, the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy increased, and the band gap of PT approached 2 eV. Experimental data was used to validate the calculations, and it was concluded that the color of PT PLEDs can be adjusted by controlling the DP of the polymer and the substituents.
