Summary: Reduced TiO2 nanotube arrays (r-TNAs) have emerged as promising environmental materials for efficient treatment of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) resistant to conventional biological treatment. r-TNAs possess superior conductivity and solar light absorption, as well as well-organized open channel structures for efficient mass transfer. Additionally, r-TNAs can be grown directly on substrates without the use of adhesives, improving their durability and reusability. This paper provides a comprehensive review of r-TNAs in advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), including their fabrication techniques, appealing properties, and potential applications.

Summary: Catalytic oxidation of cyclohexane to cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone with H2O2 was performed using ZnAl or MgAl layered double hydroxides (LDHs) modified with tungstate and molybdate anions as catalysts in heterogeneous medium. The catalysts were prepared by direct anion exchange reactions of tungstate and molybdate on LDHs intercalated with chloride/ carbonate anions. ZnAl-modified with WO42- showed higher activity and selectivity for ketone than MgAl-modified WO42- or any molybdate-based LDH catalysts.

Summary: Single-atom (SA) catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic activity, selectivity, and metal utilization, but their complex preparation methods limit their widespread application. In this study, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with unique charge distributions were combined with the dodecahydro-closo-dodecaborate anion [closo-B12H12]2- to design two different gold (Au) catalysts. One is the composite dual-site Au SA/Au cluster catalyst (B12H12-MgAl-LDH-Au) prepared by utilizing the anion exchangeability and spatial domain-limiting properties of LDH and the reducibility of [closo-B12H12]2-. The other is Au nanoparticle catalysts (MgAl-LDH@B12H12@Au) obtained by immobilizing [closo-B12H12]2- on the LDH laminate. The B12H12-MgAl-LDH-Au catalyst efficiently catalyzes the selective reduction of 27 different nitrobenzene substrates to corresponding azoxybenzenes (AOBs) under 450 nm wavelength radiation. However, larger nanoparticles show higher efficiency in absorbing visible light energy, thus 10 different AOB compounds were prepared using the MgAl-LDH@B12H12@Au system.

Summary: This work investigates the self-assembly of corrosion inhibitor-intercalated layered double hydroxides in cementitious systems. The research reveals the impacts of inorganic and organic corrosion inhibitors on the intercalation chemistry and chloride-induced transformation of LDHs. The results show that direct admixing of inhibitors results in the spontaneous formation of inhibitors-intercalated LDHs, regardless of binder chemistry. The incorporation of inhibitors has little influence on chloride binding capacity but affects chloride resistance through pore structure modification.

Summary: This review discusses the current research status of biochar/layered double hydroxides composites (BLDHCs) as catalysts for the treatment of organic wastewater. The synthesis methods of layered double hydroxides, characterizations of BLDHCs, impacts of process factors on catalytic performance, and advances in various advanced oxidation processes are summarized. The integration of layered double hydroxides and biochar shows synergistic effects in improving pollutant removal. BLDHCs have been proven to enhance pollutant degradation in heterogeneous Fenton, sulfate radical-based, sono-assisted, and photo-assisted processes. The catalytic degradation of organic pollutants using BLDHCs is still in its early stages and further research is needed to investigate controllable synthesis, catalytic mechanism, improved performance, and large-scale application.

Summary: Social development is often accompanied by pollution caused by technological progress. Antibiotics, as an essential resource of modern medical treatment, have become a hot topic in terms of environmental pollution. In this study, fish scales were used to synthesize a biochar catalyst (FS-BC) for degrading tetracycline hydrochloride. FS-BC demonstrated the best catalytic performance due to its excellent defect structure and the synergy of N, P heteroatoms. This research not only provides a reference for biochar selection, but also suggests a superior strategy for TC degradation in the environment.

Summary: Metal components have significant impacts on the generation of persistent free radicals (PFRs) in biochar. This study investigates the effect of interactions among metal components on the formation of PFRs during biomass pyrolysis. The results show that the coupling of Fe with Co and Ni increases the abundance of PFRs in iron-containing biochars (IBCs), while Zn inhibits PFRs generation. Persulfate activation experiments confirm that PFRs are critical redox sites. NiFeO/BC is identified as a more efficient catalyst for PFRs activation. This study provides new methods for regulating PFRs in biochar and advances the understanding of metal-containing biomass pyrolysis processes.
