Currently used techniques to degrade phenol in water bodies are effective but not very energy- or resource-efficient. Now, scientists from <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.shooliniuniversity.com\/\">Shoolini University, India<\/a>, have developed a high-performance, stable, and reusable photocatalyst with superior phenol degradation ability, opening the doors to potential applications for water purification.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2021, pure unpolluted water for consumption and use is rapidly becoming a distant memory. Most water bodies in the world are contaminated, and organic pollutants form a major part of this contamination. Organic pollutants can not only endanger aquatic life but can also affect human health. Phenols, in particular, are a robust category of toxic organic pollutants that accumulate over time in soil and groundwater and are not easily biodegradable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, scientists have discovered many chemical techniques for removing phenol from water. One of the most energy-efficient and flexible approaches for this is the \u001cFenton oxidation\u001d process, in which a reaction between hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub>) and Fe<sup>2+<\/sup> ions yields highly oxidizing hydroxyl ions (<strong><sup>.<\/sup><\/strong>OH) that, in turn, degrade phenols into carbon dioxide and water. However, despite being highly feasible and repeatable, the Fenton process is very slow, consumes an excessive amount of H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> during oxidation, and has lower catalytic activity compared to semiconductor-assisted photocatalysts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Semiconductor-based photocatalysts, when exposed to light, generate pairs of electrons and \u001choles\u001d(the absence of electrons in atomic sites). These pairs produce <strong><sup>.<\/sup><\/strong>OH radicals (similar to the Fenton process) along with <strong><sup>.<\/sup><\/strong>O<sub>2<\/sub> radicals, help with the degradation of phenol. Despite their better catalytic activity, however, photocatalytic reactions are often bottlenecked by weak light activity and inadequate electron-hole separation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, scientists seem to have found the perfect strategy\u0014coupling the Fenton reaction and photocatalysis to extract the best of both worlds. In a recent study published in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S1226086X21001829\">the <em>Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry<\/em><\/a>, researchers from India and Saudi Arabia have combined an Ag<sub>3<\/sub>PO<sub>4<\/sub>\/CdS\/Fe-g-C<sub>3<\/sub>N<sub>4<\/sub> (AP\/CdS\/FeCN) photocatalyst with H<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>2<\/sub> to develop a heterogenous photo-Fenton system wherein the photocatalyst mimics the natural process of photosynthesis and harvests light to undergo oxidation\/reduction reactions. <a href=\"https:\/\/in.linkedin.com\/in\/pardeep-singh-589a011a9\">Prof. Pardeep Singh<\/a> from Shoolini University, India, who was part of the study, explains, \u001c<em>We opted for a dual Z-scheme approach since it is emerging as an effective way to enhance light absorption ability, photostability and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pair in Ag3PO4 photocatalyst.\u001d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists subjected the fabricated system to phenol removal tests and found that the new coupled system showed higher degradation rates than those from individual approaches. Furthermore, the photo-Fenton system was highly photostable and reusable, maintaining its catalytic activity even after five successive cycles of usage. Scientists attributed the enhancement in phenol degradation rate to the generation of more Fe<sup>2+<\/sup> ions and <strong><sup>.<\/sup><\/strong>OH radicals in the reacting mixture due to the coupling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new photocatalytic system shows promise for practical applications in wastewater purification. In addition, the findings of this study could provide insights on how to design a new generation of catalytic systems for large-scale water treatment. \u001c<em>Apart from its practical implications, the novelty of this technique could invoke interest in researchers to explore and discover newer methods for environmental remediation and pave a path towards sustainable development<\/em>,\u001d comments <a href=\"https:\/\/in.linkedin.com\/in\/pankaj-raizada-483285155\">Associate Professor Pankaj Raizada<\/a> of Shoolini University, who was also part of the research team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing\u0019s for sure: this work adds one more stepping stone towards a greener planet with cleaner water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reference<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientists devised a strategy for water purification that combines semiconductor-assisted photocatalysis with Fenton oxidation reaction to remove hazardous phenolic pollutants from natural water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Authors<\/td><td>Aftab Aslam Parwaz Khan1, Pardeep Singh2, Pankaj Raizada2, Abdullah M Asiri1,3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Title of the original paper<\/td><td>Converting Ag3PO4\/CdS\/Fe doped C3N4 based dual Z-scheme<br>photocatalyst into photo- Fenton system for efficient photocatalytic phenol removal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Journal<\/td><td>Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>DOI<\/td><td>10.1016\/j.jiec.2021.04.007<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Affiliations<\/td><td><sup>1<\/sup>Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, P.
