Summary: A novel inorganic/organic composite photocatalyst was developed by growing CdS nanoparticles on the surface of resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) resin spheres, which exhibited remarkably enhanced H2O2 production activity. The H2O2 yield of this composite was 5.2 times higher than that of RF spheres and 1.5 times higher than that of CdS hollow spheres. This study provides a new insight into designing RF-based inorganic/organic S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts for efficient H2O2 production.

Summary: The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of shape and size alterations on the photoluminescence (PL) emission and photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanostructures. The study describes the controlled synthesis of ZnO nanoassemblies (NA) and nanocrystals (NC) using a soft chemical approach. The synthesized ZnO nanostructures were characterized using various techniques, including TEM, SEM, UV-vis, and PL measurement. The results show that the morphology of ZnO can be tuned by adjusting the molar ratio of DEG and water, which also affects the PL emission spectra. The controlled nanostructured growth demonstrates potential for sustainable photocatalytic activity under both UV and sunlight irradiation.

Summary: Efficient silver-assisted ZnO nanocomposite (AZ) was fabricated using the co-precipitation method, which showed reduced bandgap of ZnO and higher photocatalytic efficiency under sunlight. The incorporation of silver led to a shift in emission spectra from UV to visible region, allowing for more photon capture. Among all prepared samples, AZ-1 exhibited the highest photocatalytic degradation efficiency over methylene blue dye, offering a promising new pathway for industrial wastewater treatment.

Summary: Polycrystalline Zn1-xCuxO (x = 0.0, 0.02, and 0.05) samples were prepared using the solid-state reaction procedure. The inclusion of Cu ions in the ZnO hexagonal wurtzite structure was confirmed by X-ray diffraction patterns. The morphology study revealed transformation with Cu doping. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicated the presence of oxygen vacancies in the Cu-doped samples. The magnetization measurements showed room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior in the Cu-doped samples. The photoluminescence and ultraviolet spectroscopic measurements revealed the influence of Cu doping on the band gap of ZnO.

Summary: Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles and ZnO decorated S,N doped few-layered graphene (FLGs) composites were synthesized. The ZnO and ZnO-S,N-FLGs composites were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), mu-Raman spectroscopy, and electron microscopic techniques (FESEM & TEM). The results showed that different morphologies of ZnO were well dispersed on the S,N doped FLGs, and the morphology of ZnO changed significantly with increased S,N-FLGs concentration. The interaction between ZnO and S,N-FLGs was observed in the Raman shift of the 2D peak.

Summary: In this study, the effect of Cr3+ cations addition on the structural, morphological, optical, and photocatalytic properties of Er-doped ZnO structures was investigated. The results showed that the dopant cations concentrations caused variations in lattice constants and increased the crystallite size and strain in the ZnO crystal lattice. Raman and photoluminescence spectroscopies confirmed the structural atomic disorder. The samples exhibited different morphologies depending on the dopant concentration. In the photocatalytic test, the degradation rate of methylene blue dye increased with the concentration of Cr3+ cations. The removal capacity of the dye was further increased using an optimized H2O2 concentration. The irradiated solution showed no toxicity against Artemia salina.

Operating parameters were optimized for tartrazine degradation, and the reusability of the catalysts was also confirmed after 6 cycles. The proposed mechanism of photocatalytic activity provides insight into the degradation process.

Summary: Five different ZnO nanocrystallites were synthesized using surfactant-assisted hydrothermal technique. Among them, ZnO-4 synthesized with CTAB showed the smallest crystallite size and disc-like morphology. ZnO-4 was used as an efficient catalyst for one pot-three component green synthesis of 3-[(aryl)(arylthio)methyl]-1H-indoles. The Lewis acidic property of the catalyst-supported probable mechanism was proposed and ZnO-4 showed higher yields, lower reaction time, catalyst recovery and reuse.

Summary: This study reveals that chronic exposure to PM induces chronic inflammation and development of COPD by dysregulating NAD+ metabolism and subsequent SIRT1 deficiency in pulmonary macrophages. Activation of SIRT1 by resveratrol effectively mitigates PM-induced inflammation and COPD development. Targeting metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming in macrophages induced by PM is a promising strategy for COPD treatment.

Summary: Microplastic contamination in marine ecosystems poses a growing concern due to its trophic transfer and negative effects on marine organisms. This study investigates the transfer and impacts of polystyrene microplastics in an estuarine food chain. The results show that microplastics can be transferred through the food chain, although the transfer rates are low. The exposed organisms exhibit stress responses, suggesting the potential risk of microplastics reaching humans through the food chain.

Summary: This study measured the levels of phthalate metabolites in breast milk collected from mothers in southern China. The results showed that phthalates are still prevalent in the region, and breastfeeding contributes to phthalate intake in infants. However, the levels detected do not pose significant health risks to infants based on dietary exposure. The increasing exposure to certain phthalates calls for further research into their sources and potential risks.
