Summary: Designing advanced catalysts with atomic level control over the heterointerfaces and active sites is crucial for catalytic reduction reactions. Co nanoparticles wrapped by N-doped carbon nanotube heterostructures synthesized at specific temperature showed enhanced catalytic activity, attributed to synergistic interactions between Co nanoparticles and N-doped carbon nanotubes. The catalyst exhibited high stability and small losses in catalytic activity during recycling experiments, showing potential for cost-effective non-precious metal-based catalysts in scalable and high-performance catalytic reduction reactions.

Summary: 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), originating from industrial pollutants, has adverse effects on human health. Therefore, it is important to detoxify 4-NP in aqueous contamination. In this study, mesoporous alpha-Fe2O3/TiO2 heterojunctions with varying Ag percentages were synthesized and exhibited significantly higher photo/-catalytic reduction efficiency compared to pure Fe2O3, TiO2 NPs, and Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposite. The 2.5% Ag/Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposite showed the highest photocatalytic reduction efficiency, reaching nearly 98% after 9 minutes. The enhanced photocatalytic reduction ability of Ag/Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposite can be attributed to its visible light absorption and large surface area, which improve the separation and mobility of electron holes. The synthesized catalysts demonstrated good stability and retained high reduction efficiency after five successive cycles. This study highlights a novel approach for constructing ternary nanocomposite systems with high photo/-catalytic ability.

Summary: MOx-biochar (Mox = Cu, Co, Mn or Ni oxides) supported catalysts were prepared, characterized and tested for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol using sodium borohydride as the reducing agent. The copper oxide-based catalysts obtained by wet impregnation (BC1CuOx) and by an alkaline method followed by a hydrothermal treatment (BC2CuOx) showed the highest activity, with complete reduction of 4NP achieved in 2.1 and 0.80 min for BC1CuOx and BC2CuOx, respectively. BC2CuOx could be reused up to five times without any treatment between the cycles.

Summary: Metal-free catalysts, such as pumpkin-derived N-doped porous carbon, have shown great potential in catalytic applications due to their cost-competitiveness, efficiency, and recyclability. The enhanced performance of the N-doped carbon catalyst in reducing 2-methyl-4-nitrophenol is attributed to strong substrate adsorption and activation induced by electronic modulation through N-doping. This study paves the way for utilizing pumpkin in high-value applications and further developing metal-free strategies in catalysis.

Summary: Silver and zirconium mono- and bimetallic SBA-15 catalysts were synthesized using polydopamine (PDA) via hydrothermal method, and tested in the reduction reaction of 4-nitrophenol. The results showed that metals were settled as nanoparticles in the catalysts, and the use of PDA and metals did not deteriorate the structural properties of SBA-15. Zr@SBA-15(P) exhibited the highest surface area (1882 m2/g), pore volume (3.18 cm3/g), and pore diameter (7.84 nm). XPS spectra confirmed that the metals were embedded in the structure in metallic form. The reaction rate constant for Ag@SBA-15(P) was determined as 0.138 min-1, and its conversion efficiency remained around 90% after 5 runs.

Summary: This study reports on the synthesis of nine materials containing Cu, Ag, Au, and Ag/Cu nanoparticles deposited on magnetite particles coated with polydopamine. The materials were characterized using various techniques and their recyclability was evaluated. Catalysts prepared using soft reducing agents and/or thin polydopamine films showed the highest activity, while those reduced with NaBH4 remained stable for a longer time. The order of activity was Au>Ag>Cu, with Ag-based materials showing higher recyclability than Au-based materials.
