Graphitic carbon nitride (g–C3N4)–based semiconductor as a beneficial candidate in photocatalysis diversity

Recent Advancement in Rational Design Modulation of MXene: A Voyage from Environmental Remediation to Energy Conversion and Storage

“…Because of their intrinsic properties of superior conductance, adaptable texture, 2-D layer designs, etc., these get a strong prospective to function as effective electrical waves shielding materials. [16,17,232,233] MXene can be used comprehensively in the progress of fabrics, wearable electronics equipment for energy production, silky automation, radio transmission, cell devices, broadband cellular technologies, laser scanners, and so on as an extremely effective composite with extra sophisticated integral properties for insulating EM vibrations. [38,234,235] Numerous viable strategies for efficient screening of electronic radiation across equipment and infrared waves on humans were already proposed.…”

“…Graphene, hexagon boron nitride, transitional metal dichalcogenides, and other fascinating materials have received much research owing to their fascinating features including as exceptional conductance, inertness, big surface area, and so on. [5,16,26,[39][40][41][377][378][379][380][381][382][383][384] MXenes also had some favorable circumstances over such 2D composites due to their variable electromagnetism attributes. For example, simple 2D graphene does have outstanding electronic permeability and though poor physical assets, making it unsuitable for electrostatic interference (EMI) sheltering implementations that necessitate modest permeability and magnetostrictive polarizability to converse with electromagnetic (EM) signals.…”

“…As, the contaminated wastewater is usually characterized by a wide variety of pollutants such as metal ions, pesticides, toxic azo dyes emanating from different industrial sector related to the printing, coloring, leather, plastics, pharmaceutical and food. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Generally, the presence of all kinds of pollutants has been classified in different categories. Among them, dyes and metal ions are considered to be the major sources of wastewater pollution.…”

“…The excessive discharge of industrial wastewater without proper treatment into local water bodies, has become a major contributor for various environmental consequences. As, the contaminated wastewater is usually characterized by a wide variety of pollutants such as metal ions, pesticides, toxic azo dyes emanating from different industrial sector related to the printing, coloring, leather, plastics, pharmaceutical and food [12–23] . Generally, the presence of all kinds of pollutants has been classified in different categories.…”

Metal-free, redox-neutral, and visible light-triggered coupling of CO2 with epoxides to cyclic carbonates at atmospheric pressure

“…6 As an alternative, in the last several decades, solar energy that is abundant, inexhaustible and renewable has been used for the conversion of CO 2 to chemicals using task specific and efficient photocatalytic materials. 7,8 Light irradiation with an artificial source in place of the natural sunlight can be used to activate and drive the CO 2 conversion reactions. In this context, photoreduction of CO 2 to C 1 chemicals such as CO, HCOOH, CH 3 OH and CH 4 has extensively been studied using a range of photocatalytic materials starting from semiconductors to hybrid molecular catalysts.…”
