Microbial involvement in iodine cycle: mechanisms and potential applications

“…Cellulose-producing bacteria, such as Acetobacter xylinus, are responsible for producing these nanocomposites. Zia et al (Zia et al, 2022) explored the potential of bacterial cellulose pellicle nanocomposites as effective iodine capture agents from both vapor and aqueous solutions. These nanocomposites' have high surface area and their stability make them suitable for capturing and removing iodine contaminants.…”

Tröger’s Base-Enriched Conjugated Cyclopentannulated Copolymers: Prominent Adsorbents of CO2, H2, and Iodine

“…Organic-based materials emerge as prominent candidates for effective capture of iodine as a result of their versatile synthesis, extensive porous network, and stability. 38,39 This research work reveals the preparation of newly developed copolymers featuring repeated Troger's base units combined with anthracene, bianthracene, and pyrene derivatives. This synthesis was achieved using a palladium-catalyzed [3 + 2] cyclocondensation reaction affording polymers, which demonstrate prominent iodine removal from the air and exhibit very good CO 2 and H 2 in adsorption capacities.…”
