“…These approaches cover from sophisticated device fabrication to wide material utilization [2][3][4][5]. Photocatalysts are a large class of materials comprised of organic conjugated polymers [6], supramolecular complexes [7], and, most important, semiconducting materials [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], etc. Semiconducting materials are preferred photocatalysts due to their good efficiency in utilizing solar energy within the visible region to remove organic pollutants and generate green hydrogen from photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting [23][24][25][26][27].…”

Waste management and energy generation are the foremost concerns due to their direct relationship with biological species and the environment. Herein, we report the utilization of iron rust (inorganic pollutant) as a photocatalyst for the photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye (organic pollutant) under visible light (economic) and water oxidation (energy generation). Iron rust was collected from metallic pipes and calcined in the furnace at 700 °C for 3 h to remove the moisture/volatile content. The uncalcined and calcined rust NPs are characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The morphological study illustrated that the shape of uncalcined and calcined iron rust is spongy, porous, and agglomerated. The XRD and DLS particle sizes are in a few hundred nanometers range. The photodegradation (PD) investigation shows that calcined rust NPs are potent for the PD of modeled MB, and the degradation efficiency was about 94% in a very short time of 11 min. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) measurements revealed that calcined rust NPs are more active than uncalcined rust under simulated 1 SUN illumination with the respective photocurrent densities of ~0.40 and ~0.32 mA/cm2. The density functional theory simulations show the chemisorption of dye molecules over the catalyst surface, which evinces the high catalytic activity of the catalyst. These results demonstrate that cheaper and abundantly available rust can be useful for environmental and energy applications.

“…Recently, Saied et al [ 142 ] fabricated a spherical AgNP with a particle size of 30–60 nm. Although these biogenic NPs showed a high degradation efficiency (98%) toward methylene blue, it took a bit longer duration (480 min) like the one reported by Yuan et al [ 166 ] in Figure 26 using ZrO 2 biogenic NPs. This result presented in Figure 26 corroborates other reports [ 165,173 ] that claim that photodegradation of dye pollutants is a function of NPs dose (the higher the dose, the faster and better the photodegradation efficiency).…”

[166] Reused with permission from Elsevier (License number: 5405661357115) concluded that Passiflora edulis fruit peels are an excellent waste material source for the production of MNPs that can apply effectively in the treatment of industrial wastewater for catalytic degradation of stubborn dye pollutants. [162] Also, in another RhB photodegradation research carried out by Luque et al, in recent times, [147] the improvement in the photocatalytic performance of the biosynthesized ZnO was confirmed by the TON and TOF values.…”

The present scenario of water insecurity (poor availability and accessibility to clean and healthy water when needed) denotes the preponderance of environmental damage caused by effluents or waste runoff from industries, such as the dye and textile industries. The polluted waters have led to terrible and sonorous negative impacts on the ecosystem and econetworking, thus, urging for a sustainably suitable substitute to tackle and annul the noxious environmental constraint posse by the hazardous dye effluent. Several chemical and physical methods for treating dye effluent are now in use, but they are time‐consuming, expensive, and inefficient. Interestingly, nanoparticles have egressed as a superior answer for efficient dye removal and degradation, because of their chemical reactivity and exceptional surface characteristics. As a result, the use of metal nanomaterials in the treatment of dye runoffs has been thoroughly investigated. The study used major scientific databases such as SciFinder, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct to conduct a comprehensive review of publicly available literature. Degradation, dye effluent, green metal nanoparticles, and water pollution were the keywords used to find scholarly papers. Efforts were made to figure out and explain the mechanism of dye effluent degradation, how long the degradation will take and how effective the use of plant biosynthesized metal nanoparticles for dye removal is. In addition, the role of bimetallic nanoparticles has also been investigated with remarkable feat from literature. The current level of knowledge about the mechanism and the use of plant biogenic metal nanoparticles in common dye effluent treatment is summarized in this paper.

“…Zirconia implants have been shown to have improved osseointegration in In vivo studies, and ZrO-related materials, such as ZrO 2 layers and ceramics, have been used as bone transplants in the past. Because of its chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and excellent mechanical qualities [ 17 ], ZrO 2 is a suitable option for the construction of bone frames [ 18 ]. Biphasic implants based on polymeric materials are currently being considered for the therapy of osteochondral defects [ 19 ].…”
