Summary: A series of Ce, Bi, and N co-doped TiO2 photocatalysts were prepared to remove Chlorazol yellow (CY) dye molecules from water. The 5 wt% (Ce-Bi-N) co-doped TiO2 composite catalyst showed the best catalytic activity under sunlight irradiation. The catalyst achieved 97% degradation of CY molecules within 30 minutes and followed second-order kinetics. The developed catalyst can destruct CY molecules with a maximum rate of 23.1 mu g CY g(-1) min(-1) and the photodegradation kinetics depends on the concentration of CY.

Summary: Element doping is an effective method for enhancing the photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts. This study utilized potassium sorbate as a new precursor to dope potassium ions into g-C3N4 during the calcination process, resulting in the formation of potassium-doped g-C3N4 (KCN). Through various characterization techniques and electrochemical measurements, it was found that potassium doping efficiently modified the band structure of g-C3N4, enhancing light absorption and conductivity, which accelerated charge transfer and photogenerated carrier separation. These findings demonstrate the potential of potassium incorporation in g-C3N4 for fabricating high-performance photocatalysts for organic pollutant removal.

Summary: Pure and manganese (Mn) doped molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) was synthesized by hydrothermal approach. The XRD spectrum confirmed the Mn2+ ion incorporation without affecting the crystal structure of MoS2. FESEM images revealed flower-like hierarchical nanostructures with increased surface area for 3% Mn doping. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue achieved 97% efficiency in 55 minutes using 3% Mn doped MoS2, attributed to the edge terminated active sites and increased surface area. This is the first report of Mn doped MoS2 as an efficient photocatalyst for methylene blue degradation.

Summary: Here, we presented the fabrication of well-crystalline metal-doped BiOCl nanoscale photocatalytic materials through solvothermal synthetic route. Ni doping significantly improved the photocatalytic and antibacterial behavior of BiOCl. The morphological study showed that different metal dopings led to the formation of nanosheet (Ni, Cd), nanoflower (Mo), and nanodisc (Co) morphologies, while Ni doping resulted in large size nanosheets with increased surface area and improved porous structure. The inclusion of Ni into BiOCl nanostructure shifted the band gap and reduced electron-hole recombination, contributing to its excellent photocatalytic performance. Additionally, Ni-BiOCl exhibited excellent photocatalytic antibacterial activity against S. aureus bacteria under visible light.

Summary: Seasonings have become popular for enhancing food flavor recently. However, many users are unaware of the ingredients in these seasonings and are only concerned about tasty food rather than their health effects. This study focused on extracting monosodium glutamate (MSG) from a simulated polluted solution using an emulsion liquid membrane (ELM), which is an effective extraction and stripping process. The stability of the emulsion limits the industrial application of ELM, so the study replaced the membrane phase with a silicon carbide based nanofluid to form an emulsion nanofluid membrane (ENM). The enhanced dispersion stability of the nanofluid ensured the effectiveness of the extraction process. Additionally, a three level RSM-CCD model was used to optimize parameters such as nanofluid concentration, ultrasonication time, surfactant concentration, and carrier concentration. The ENM proved to be the most efficient and recyclable method for MSG extraction.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
