Microwave catalysis is extremely lucrative due to prompt mineralization and superior efficiency. Ideal microwave catalysts should possess crystalline nature, large surface area, room temperature ferromagnetic, high dielectric properties apart from structural stability at elevated temperature. In the present article, the candidature of microwave synthesized strontium hexaferrite 2D sheets (2D SFO) has been explored as microwave catalysts for the degradation of a host of organic dyes and antibiotics. Malachite green (MG) and nile blue A (NB) in particular exhibited 99.8% and 97.6% degradation, respectively. Degradation reaction is established to follow pseudo-second-order kinetics. Total organic carbon (TOC) measurements hint at 52% and 60% mineralization for MG and NB, respectively. Liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LCMS) measurements indicate the reaction pathways via intermediates and eventual mineralization to CO and HO. Mott-Schottky measurements along with scavenger tests hint that both hydroxyl and superoxide radicals participate in the reaction. Having superior efficiency apart from the versatile nature of the 2D SFO microwave catalyst, the present research will guide to the emergence of microwave catalysis as a new technology.

The benzothiazole ring system has been recognised with crucial pharmacophoric features being present among various approved drugs and clinical and pre-clinical candidates. The medicinal importance of this privileged scaffold stimulated the interest of synthetic medicinal/ organic chemists for the synthesis of its derivatives due to their diverse biological applications. In most of the reports in the literature, benzothiazoles were synthesized by cyclocondensation of 2- aminothiophenol with either carboxylic acid and its derivatives or aldehydes.

Altering the electron distribution within a catalyst to manipulate internal charge migration pathways is an effective strategy for achieving high efficiency in carrier separation and migration, which is essential for the advancement of photocatalytic water oxidation technologies. We have employed atomic layer deposition (ALD) to construct a BiFeO/CuO (BFO/CuO) heterojunction with a specific CuO thickness, resulting in a Z-type junction (BFO/CuO50) characterized by a robust internal electric field. This junction facilitates the spatial separation of charge carriers, thereby enhancing their migration efficiency.

Converting 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) via electrooxidation is a sustainable approach for generating high-value chemicals from biomass. This study presents Mn-doped Ni(OH) nanosheets as an effective electrocatalyst for HMF electrooxidation. The Mn-doped Ni(OH) nanosheets were synthesized through a microwave-assisted deep eutectic solvent (DES) strategy, followed by an alkaline reflux process.
