In order to enhance the durability of chemical filters for ozone molecules, devoted to microsystem for the selective detection of NO2 in the environment, the adsorption of indigo molecules onto the surface of carbonaceous nanomaterials (multi-walled carbon nanotubes, a mixture of nanodisks/nanocones, nanofibres) was investigated. The surface of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes was coated by π-stacking with adsorbed indigo molecules. An excess of indigo has resulted in a biphasic sample where nanotubes covered with indigo coexist with free indigo particles. Although similar filtering yields toward O3 (close to 100%) and NO2 (around 0%) were obtained as compared to individual materials, the indigo/MWCNTs samples exhibit enhanced durability as chemical filter at high ozone concentration (1 ppm).

This work examines the use of cellulose in the elimination of anionic dye, indigo carmine and methyl red, from aqueous media. Theoretical analyses revealed that the examined compounds had several reactive sites that encouraged dyes to adhere to the cellulose surface, and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrated that this adsorption occurred flat-lying on the cellulose (200) surface. However, it has been discovered that the reactivity of individual molecules is limited in its ability to foretell the effectiveness and characteristics of compound adsorption on cellulose.

The production of indigo, primarily used by the denim industry, increases year by year, and is mainly of synthetic origin. The textile industry, on which its production depends, is responsible for 10% of greenhouse gases and 20% of water pollution. However, the source of this pigment/colorant, mainly based on petrochemistry, remains a key issue today.

Background: Azo pigments are widely used in the textile and leather industry, and they generate diverse contaminants (mainly in wastewater effluents) that affect biological systems, the rhizosphere community, and the natural activities of certain species.
Methods: This review was performed according to the Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) methodology.
Results: In the last decade, the use of species as biological azo-degraders has increased, and these bacteria are mainly isolated from mangroves, dye-contaminated soil, and marine sediments.
Synthesis and Dye Adsorption Dynamics of Chitosan-Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) Composite.

One major environmental issue responsible for water pollution is the presence of dyes in the aquatic environment as a result of human activity, particularly the textile industry. Chitosan-Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP) polymer composite beads were synthesized and explored for the adsorption of dyes (Bismarck brown (BB), orange G (OG), brilliant blue G (BBG), and indigo carmine (IC)) from dye solution. The CS-PVPP beads demonstrated high removal efficiency of BB (87%), OG (58%), BBG (42%), and IC (49%).

Organic semiconductors (OSCs) are featured by weak spin-orbit coupling due to their light chemical element composition, which enables them to maintain spin orientation for a long spin lifetime and show significant potential in room-temperature spin transport. Carrier mobility and spin lifetime are the two main factors of the spin transport performance of OSCs, however, their ambiguous mechanisms with molecular structure make the development of spintronic materials really stagnant. Herein, the effects of halogen substitution in bay-annulated indigo-based polymers on carrier mobility and spin relaxation have been systematically investigated.
