Recent advances in photoelectrocatalysis for simultaneous water purification, energy generation or resource recovery

Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 1 - 22

Published: Jan. 16, 2025

Serious water pollution and energy demand issues are driving the rapid development of several advanced technologies to purify wastewater, generate energy, reduce waste in context sustainable economic growth. Herein, application photoelectrocatalysis (PEC) wastewater treatment, with simultaneous production either or high value-added products, even recovery valuable resources, is reviewed. Specifically, multifunctional PEC systems include combined H2, H2O2, CO2-derived chemicals, power metal (e.g., Ag, Cu) nonmetal N, S) resources. The fundamentals process, performance selection photoelectrodes, mechanisms different applications construction reactors discussed. In addition, critical challenges terms system stability, consumption, scale-up practical summarized. This review provides a comprehensive overview which reaction coupling allows achieving high-efficiency low-energy ultimate goal greener development.

Organic and Metal–Organic Polymer-Based Catalysts—Enfant Terrible Companions or Good Assistants?

Molecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(19), P. 4623 - 4623

Published: Sept. 29, 2024

This overview provides insights into organic and metal–organic polymer (OMOP) catalysts aimed at processes carried out in the liquid phase. Various types of polymers are discussed, including vinyl (various functional poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) perfluorinated functionalized hydrocarbons, e.g., Nafion), condensation (polyesters, -amides, -anilines, -imides), additional (polyurethanes, polyureas, polybenzimidazoles, polyporphyrins), prepared from organometal monomers. Covalent frameworks (COFs), (MOFs), their composites represent a significant class OMOP catalysts. Following this, preparation, characterization, application dispersed metal discussed. Key catalytic such as alkylation—used large-scale applications like production alkyl-tert-butyl ether bisphenol A—as well reduction, oxidation, other reactions, highlighted. The versatile properties COFs MOFs, well-defined nanometer-scale pores, large surface areas, excellent chemisorption capabilities, make them highly promising for chemical, electrochemical, photocatalytic applications. Particular emphasis is placed on potential CO2 treatment. However, notable drawback COF- MOF-based relatively low stability both alkaline acidic environments, high cost. A special part devoted to deactivation disposal used/deactivated catalysts, emphasizing importance separating heavy metals conclusion guidance selecting developing OMOP-based
