Azo dyes are synthetic organic used in the textile, leather, and paper industries. They pose environmental problems due to their toxic persistent nature. The toxicity is presence of azo groups dye molecule that can break down into aromatic amines, which highly aquatic organisms humans. Various treatment methods have been developed remove from wastewater. Conventional wastewater treatments some ...

Finding long-term solutions to meet the growing energy demands of the human society is one of the greatest challenges of our age. Photocatalysis, a topic of many decades of attention, has recently received renewed and more intense interest in developing innovative solutions towards achieving our sustainability goal. Though immensely inspired by natural photosynthesis, the research on artificial...

Polyoxometalates. In their Research Article (e202303290), Yong Ding, Xinbao Han et al. report the synthesis of a series cobalt(II)-containing polyoxometalate-based catalysts and application to photocatalytic water oxidation.

Porphyrin‐based porous organic polymers (Por‐POPs) are attracting increasing attention because of their potential in visible light photocatalysis. The distinctive attributes Por‐POPs have been elucidated by investigating response to specific reactions, such as the aerobic oxidation sulfides. However, most researchers choose porphyrin molecules with relatively short peripheral substituent chains...

Chloroacetanilide herbicides are widely used in the agricultural sector throughout world. Because of their poor biodegradability, high water solubility, and long persistence, chloroacetanilide have a potential to contaminate water, conventional treatment processes do not ensure sufficient removal. Therefore, heterogeneous photocatalysis using TiO2/UV-A was investigated for degradation alachlor,...
