Review On Strategies For the Design and Synthesis of Flower‐Like Bi2WO6 and BiOX (X=F, Cl, Br, I) Composites for Photocatalytic Environmental Remediation

“…Moreover, BiOI is the promising photocatalyst due to its non‐toxicity, low cost and eco‐friendly nature and has parades the excellent photocatalytic activity for synthesis of the flower‐like BiOI using solvo/hydrothermal methods can be employed involving Bi(NO 3 ) 3 .5H 2 O as Bi‐precursor and KI as iodine source [98,99] Long and co‐workers have synthesized BiOI by maintaining the neutral pH using ammonium hydroxide via co‐precipitation method. Furthermore, they explored the photocatalytic activity in the removal of rhodamine B (RhB), methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) dye with 98.7 %, 43.2 % and 76.9 % in 180 min, respectively, owing to its large surface area [100] …”

Biomass-based graphene aerogel for the removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater

“…The contamination of wastewater with emerging pollutants has become a pressing environmental concern worldwide. 1 Emerging contaminants are a class of chemicals which have recently been identified to have adverse effects on aquatic ecosystems and pose risks to human health. 2 These compounds have diverse chemical nature including endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), microplastics, antibiotics, ionic liquids, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives and engineered nanoparticles.…”

“…Compared with other aerogel materials, graphene aerogel is superior because of its lightweight 3D porous structure consisting of 2D atomic layers which provides maximum specific surface area, lower density, high mechanical strength, chemical stability and greater tunability. 1 Meanwhile, conventional aerogels are fragile and prone to mechanical deformation, and their synthesis methods are more complex and can involve chemicals with environmental concerns. There are various types of graphene aerogels such as graphene oxide aerogel, 17 reduced graphene oxide aerogel, 18 3D printed graphene aerogel, metal decorated graphene aerogel 19 and natural source derived graphene aerogel.…”

Progress in Research on the Preparation of Graphene-Based Aerogels Using γ-ray Irradiation Technology

“…Graphene aerogel (GA) stands out as an extraordinary three-dimensional porous solid material, distinguished by its ultra-low density, impressive specific surface area, exceptional porosity, and remarkable adsorption capacity. These remarkable properties bestow upon GA a wide spectrum of applications, encompassing energy storage [1,2], catalysis [3,4], sensors [5], environmental protection [6], and beyond. When compared to pristine graphene, GA triumphs over the challenges of agglomeration and the reduction in specific surface area, with issues often stemming from the formidable π-π conjugation and van der Waals forces between graphene sheets during processing.…”
