Summary: This study synthesized sponge-based catalysts with three-dimensional porosity and demonstrated their excellent photothermal catalytic performance for formaldehyde oxidation under visible light irradiation. The sponge's porous framework provided a good surface for material modification and a reliable interface for gas-solid interaction, while the polydopamine layer coated on the sponge increased the catalyst's absorption of light and adhesion of MnOX and GCN. The efficient formaldehyde oxidation was attributed to the sufficient oxygen vacancies generated by co-loaded MnOX and GCN, which facilitated the activation of more O2- in the oxidation process. The study confirmed the reaction mechanism as a classical Mars-van Krevelen mechanism based on the photo-induced thermal catalysis process.

Summary: The preparation of high performance, low cost and recyclable adsorbents is crucial for dealing with water pollution. Carbon foam (CF) is a promising adsorbent, but its uneven size distribution and lack of adsorption sites hinder its application. In this study, CF/CNTs/GO composites were successfully prepared, and the addition of CNTs and GO nanosheets significantly improved the adsorption performance. This work provides a low-cost fabrication technique for high-performance CF/CNTs/GO adsorbents and contributes to the treatment of contaminated water.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a global environmental issue, and the removal of inherent plasticizer has gained significant attention. This study investigated the characteristics and performance of biochars derived from six different biomass wastes in China for the adsorption of diethyl phthalate (DEP), a frequently detected plasticizer in water. The results showed that the properties of biochars, such as porosity, specific surface area, and surface functional groups, varied with the feedstock type, which influenced the adsorption and desorption of DEP. The adsorption mechanisms involved hydrophobic effect, micropore filling, hydrogen bonding, and pi-pi EDA interactions. Among the biochars, giant reed biochar exhibited high DEP adsorption capacity and low desorption, making it an efficient and environmentally friendly sorbent for DEP removal. These findings are important for the production of designed biochars from different biomass wastes to control plasticizer pollution.
