The aggregates of pentacenequinone, HPB and PDI derivatives 3, 5 and 7 having aldehyde groups bind strongly with Ag+ and serve as reactors and stabilizers for the preparation of AgNPs at room temperature. In situ generated AgNPs show high catalytic efficiency for industrially important organic dye degradation.

The layered Bi3O4Br nanoplates were synthesized through a simple calcination process, which can simultaneously harvest visible light and ultrasonic vibration to realize the effective piezo-photocatalysis. The piezo-photocatalysis over the Bi3O4Br leads to a great enhancement in catalytic efficiency with respect to the pure photocatalysis or piezocatalysis. The apparent rate constant of piezo-photocatalysis for the degradation of MO achieves to be 0.008 min[Formula: see text], which is 5.20 and 1.51 times as high as the individual piezocatalysis and photocatalysis, respectively. This enhancement would be attributed to the built-in piezoelectric field induced by ultrasonic vibration facilitating the separation of charge carriers in photoexcited Bi3O4Br.

Biomineralization is a ubiquitous process in organisms to produce biominerals, and a wide range of metallic nanoscale minerals can be produced as a consequence of the interactions of micro-organisms with metals and minerals. Copper-bearing nanoparticles produced by biomineralization mechanisms have a variety of applications due to their remarkable catalytic efficiency, antibacterial properties and low production cost. In this study, we demonstrate the biotechnological potential of copper carbonate nanoparticles (CuNPs) synthesized using a carbonate-enriched biomass-free ureolytic fungal spent culture supernatant. The efficiency of the CuNPs in pollutant remediation was investigated using a dye (methyl red) and a toxic metal oxyanion, chromate Cr(VI). The biogenic CuNPs exhibited excellent catalytic properties in a Fenton-like reaction to degrade methyl red, and efficiently removed Cr(VI) from solution due to both adsorption and reduction of Cr(VI). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) identified the oxidation of reducing Cu species of the CuNPs during the reaction with Cr(VI). This work shows that urease-positive fungi can play an important role not only in the biorecovery of metals through the production of insoluble nanoscale carbonates, but also provides novel and simple strategies for the preparation of sustainable nanomineral products with catalytic properties applicable to the bioremediation of organic and metallic pollutants, solely and in mixtures.
