Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a novel antifouling membrane using an Fe/Cu-layered double hydroxide (Fe-Cu LDH) coated polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) to improve sewage purification and help address water shortages.
- The membrane features superhydrophilicity and underwater superoleophobicity, allowing it to resist crude oil adhesion and effectively break down contaminants like methylene blue with a high degradation rate.
- Using peroxymonosulfate (PMS) to activate the membrane’s catalytic properties enables regeneration after use, yielding a remarkable flux recovery ratio of 94.7% after multiple cycles, showcasing its potential for real-world applications in water treatment.
Photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol using nanomaterials silver halide catalysts.

In this study, the photocatalytic activity of nanomaterials Ag/AgX (X = Cl, Br, I) is reported. Highly efficient silver halide (Ag/AgX where X = Cl, Br, I) photocatalysts were synthesized through a hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized using a range of techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) to check their structural, morphology, textural and optical properties.

Article Synopsis
- Dependence on fossil fuels causes global energy crises due to pollution and limited resources, prompting the exploration of sustainable energy through nanocatalysis.
- This research introduces a new method for creating Ta-doped NaNbO photocatalysts using a surfactant-free, low-temperature hydrothermal process, yielding unique hierarchical structures for the first time.
- Characterization reveals that Ta-doping significantly alters the materials’ microstructure, enhances surface area, changes their band gap, and boosts photocatalytic activity, particularly showing optimal performance at 10 mol % doping.

The co-existence of organic contaminants and heavy metals including 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) and Cr(VI) in aquatic system have become a challenging task in the wastewater treatment. Herein, the synchronous photocatalytic decomposition of 4-CP and Cr(VI) over new Z-scheme CoFeO/P-BiOBr heterojunction nanocomposites were revealed. In this work, the nanocomposites were successfully developed via a surfactant-free hydrothermal method.
