Abstract In this study, mercaptosuccinic acid capped CdSe nanocrystals was successfully synthesized by in-situ medium colloid and used as photocatalyst for the effective photodegradation of methylene blue from aqueous solution under visible light and sunlight irradiations.The particle size and the crystal structure of these nanocrystals were analyzed by different analytical techniques. Dye adsorption prior to photocatalysis using these nanomaterials was studied via the experimental quantification of kinetics and isotherms. These experimental data were modeled including the application of statistical physics theory to analyze the corresponding adsorption mechanism. A maximum adsorption capacity of 27.1 mg/g (80% dye removal) was observed in 10 min using an initial concentration of 30 mg/L. Statistical physics calculations indicated that the adsorption energy was lower than 40 kJ/mol. Itwas also established that the dye adsorption was associated to the electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding. Overall, the dye removal was a spontaneous, feasible process and exothermic. Adsorption properties of CdSe-MSA nanocrystals improved the dye photodegradation efficiency under visible light thus achieving up to 80% degradation in 60 min. The synergic effect of adsorption and photocatalytic degradation performance was mainly due to the surface area, small size (3.7 nm) and structural defects (selenium vacancies Se, interstitial of cadmium ICd), which enhanced the response of these nanomaterials inside the visible range for the photocatalytic activity. In summary, these nanocrystals are promising materials to be used in wastewater treatment under sun light for the removal of organic compounds like dyes.

Ag3PO4/TNT heterojunctions have been fabricated via a facile in situ growth method. Compared with pure Ag3PO4, Ag3PO4/TNT possesses more active sites, less bulk defects, as well as better dye adsorption properties, and thus exhibits a significantly elevated photocatalytic activity and stability for RhB degradation.

Energy Processes

At present, the world is at the peak of production of traditional fossil fuels. Much of the resources that humanity has been consuming (oil, coal, and natural gas) are coming to an end. The human being faces a future that must necessarily go through a paradigm shift, which includes a progressive movement towards increasingly less polluting and energetically viable resources. In this sense, nanotechnology has a transcendental role in this change. For decades, new materials capable of being used in energy processes have been synthesized, which undoubtedly will be the cornerstone of the future development of the planet. In this review, we report on the current progress in the synthesis and use of one-dimensional (1D) nanostructured materials (specifically nanowires, nanofibers, nanotubes, and nanorods), with compositions based on oxides, nitrides, or metals, for applications related to energy. Due to its extraordinary surface–volume relationship, tunable thermal and transport properties, and its high surface area, these 1D nanostructures have become fundamental elements for the development of energy processes. The most relevant 1D nanomaterials, their different synthesis procedures, and useful methods for assembling 1D nanostructures in functional devices will be presented. Applications in relevant topics such as optoelectronic and photochemical devices, hydrogen production, or energy storage, among others, will be discussed. The present review concludes with a forecast on the directions towards which future research could be directed on this class of nanostructured materials.
