The sustainable catalytic efficacy of transition metal oxides (TMO) and rare earth element-based oxides positions them as pivotal materials for effectively treating contaminated wastewater. This study successfully synthesized a series of Ce@MnO photocatalysts using a straightforward hydrothermal method. These photocatalysts were thoroughly characterized for their optical properties, structural morphology, and phase purity.

The release of organic dyes into water systems, mainly textile industries, poses a significant threat to human and animal health. This approach shows great potential for effectively removing harmful dyes and microorganisms from wastewater treatment for environmental remediation. This study utilized gum karaya polymer bio-reductant to synthesize manganese oxide (MnO) nanoparticles through a green approach.

A hybrid nano catalyst, CoMoO anchored zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) has been synthesized by simplest in-situ chemical method. The characterization results showed that the CoMoO@ZIF-8 composites had a crystalline structure with a uniform distribution of the Cobalt molybdate particles on the ZIF-8 surface. The FTIR spectra revealed the presence of characteristic peaks for both ZIF-8 and CoMoO, indicating the successful incorporation of the metal molybdate into the ZIF-8 framework.

Intense studies are being carried out on single atom catalysts that exhibit remarkable activity and selectivity. To enhance their catalytic abilities, one must have a thorough understanding of the properties of the single metal atom active site and its dynamics in the working state. Herein, we report single metal atom oxide (SMAO) (metal: W/Cu) anchored on TiO-rGO nanomaterials (SMAO-ED-TiO-rGO) by simple sonication process.
