Adsorption is one of the most promising decolorization techniques in dyeing wastewater treatment. Adsorption techniques for wastewater treatment have become more popular in recent years owing to their efficiency in the removal of pollutants too stable for biological methods. Dye adsorption is a result of two mechanisms (adsorption and ion exchange) and is influenced by many factors as dye/adsorbent interaction, adsorbent's surface area, particle size, temperature, pH, and contact time. The main advantage of adsorption recently became the use of low-cost materials, which reduces the procedure cost. The present review firstly introduced the technology process, research history and research hotspot of adsorption. Then, the application of adsorption in treatment of dyeing wastewaters in the past decades was summarized, revealing the impressive changes in modes, trends, and conditions. From this review article, the different philosophy of synthesis of adsorbent materials became evident.

Bacterial keratitis (BK) is a type of corneal inflammation resulting from bacterial infection in the eye. Although nanozymes have been explored as promising materials in corneal wound healing, currently available nanozymes lack sufficient catalytic activity and the ability to penetrate bacterial biofilms, limiting their efficacy against the treatment of BK. To remedy this, ZnFe layered double hydroxide (ZnFe-LDH) nanosheets are loaded with Cu single-atom nanozymes (Cu-SAzymes) and aminated dextran (Dex-NH), resulting in the formation of the nanozyme DT-ZnFe-LDH@Cu, which possesses peroxidase (POD)-, oxidase (OXD)-, and catalase (CAT)-like catalytic activities.

Investigating the Flexibility of H-ZSM-5 Zeolite Upon Adsorption of Coke Precursors: A Theoretical and Experimental Approach.

J Phys Chem C Nanomater Interfaces

January 2025

Center for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN), Department of Chemistry, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1033, Blindern, Oslo N-0315, Norway.

The flexibility of the H-ZSM-5 zeolite upon adsorption of selected coke precursors was investigated using both theoretical and experimental approaches. Four structural models with varying active site locations were analyzed through density functional theory (DFT) simulations to determine their responses to different types and quantities of aromatic molecules. Complementary experimental analysis was performed, allowing for a direct comparison with the theoretical findings, using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen adsorption (N adsorption), solid-state NMR, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), which resemble hydrotalcite, are a type of materials with cationic layers and exchangeable interlayer anions. They have drawn lots of curiosity as a high-temperature CO2 adsorbent because of its quick desorption/sorption kinetics and renewability. Due to its extensive divalent or trivalent cationic metals, high anion exchange property, memory effect, adjustable behavior, bio-friendliness, easy to prepare and relatively low cost, the LDHs-based materials are becoming increasingly popular for photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR).

The synthesis and characterization of fused aromatic networks composed of zinc tetrapyrazinoporphyrazines are reported. The steric repulsion of bulky substituents induced the formation of three-dimensional structures. Thus-obtained insoluble polymers adsorbed CO and had near-infrared absorption indicating their porosity and extended π-conjugation.

Radially Distributed Electron Transfer on Single-Crystalline Surface of Gold Microplates.

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Modification of Chemical Fibers and Polymer Materials, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Donghua University, Shanghai 201620, China.

Electron transfer is ubiquitous in many chemical reactions and biological phenomena; however, the spatial heterogeneities of electron transfer kinetics in electrocatalysis are so far insufficiently resolved. Measuring and understanding the localized electron transfer are crucial to deciphering the intrinsic activity of electrocatalysts and to achieving further improvements in performance. By using scanning electrochemical probe microscopy to spatially resolve redox electrochemistry across the single-crystalline surface of gold microplates, we discover an intriguing radially distributed electron transfer pattern, where the kinetics around the periphery region are significantly higher than those at the central region, regardless of the redox reaction types.
