Synthesis of g-C3N4/N-doped CeO2 composite for photocatalytic degradation of an herbicide
摘要： In photocatalysis, surface engineered CeO2 could be vital due to oxygen vacancies arise from multiple valency, i.e. Ce3+ and Ce4+. This study reports photocatalytic properties of g-C3N4/CeO2 composite synthesized by a facile method in the presence of l-arginine. Physicochemical properties of g-C3N4/CeO2 material were analyzed through various characterization techniques such as XRD, UV–Vis, physisorption, etc., and correlated with its photocatalytic activity. Observed bandgap of the synthesized composite material was in the visible region, around 2.8 eV which is less than that of typical ceria, but higher than bandgap of exfoliated g-C3N4. On the further side, N doping into CeO2 was confirmed through XPS analysis. It is estimated that synthesis method aided for the N doping, which further played key role in lowering the bandgap of g-C3N4/CeO2 composite. Finally, Photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4/CeO2 composite was analyzed through degradation of an herbicide i.e. diuron, and the study revealed the good performance of the catalyst.

Effect of galvanotaxic graphene oxide on chloroplast activity: Interaction quantified with Biolayer-Interferometry coupled confocal microscopy
摘要： The knowledge on the effect of graphene oxide (GO) on plants are limited to germination, growth, and toxicity. Since, chloroplast generates sugar by the reduction of CO2 with the optical stimulation through a series of electron transport chain and GO being the 2D material with electron transport property, it is reasonable to check their interaction. Here, the effect of GO without and with amine conjugation (AGO) having opposite charges were allowed to interact with chloroplast. The uptake is documented by using biolayer interferometry coupled with confocal imaging. The ex vivo chloroplast activity with GO and AGO has been tested and found that the GO treatment shows 1.3 times more activity than control. In contrast, AGO function as efficient electron conductor and cause imbalance in the redox beyond the capacity of the antioxidant rich chloroplast solute. Finally, in vivo toxicity has been evaluated in the spinach plants, which highlights the chance of AGO application as herbicide to remove any unwanted plants.

Red-emissive nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots for highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of the alachlor herbicide in soil samples
摘要： Red-emissive nitrogen doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) were synthesized by a facile and efficient microwave-assisted hydrothermal treatment of p-phenylenediamine (p-PD), and then applied for the highly selective and sensitive fluorescence detection of the alachlor herbicide in soil samples. The synthesized N-CQDs exhibited strong red emission with a 27.6% quantum yield (QY) and high stability. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the as-prepared red-emissive N-CQDs were employed as a fluorescent probe to successfully detect trace alachlor, and their fluorescence presented a good linear decline with the increase of the alachlor concentration from 0.005 to 150 mM with a limit of detection of 0.2 nM. The N-CQDs as a fluorescent probe were used for the detection of alachlor in soil samples with satisfactory recoveries ranging from 86.6–114.3%, indicating that they were a promising fluorescent probe for highly selective and sensitive determination of alachlor.

Modified graphene quantum dots-zinc oxide nanocomposites for photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes and commercial herbicide
摘要： The high crystallinity of graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites is considered to have a significant effect in improving the carrier lifetime for enhanced photocatalytic degradation. The graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized by adding graphene quantum dots solution into starting precursors during the precipitation. Characterization was performed using various techniques. High crystallinity of graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites is obtained in terms of increased crystal size and decreased dislocation density. The improved crystallinity increases the carrier lifetime on the material surface for the functional improvement of photocatalytic material. Photocatalytic test of methylene blue and methyl orange was performed under UV irradiation. Degradation rate constant reaches the maximum value for both organic dyes for the appropriate preparing condition of graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites. The graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites were then applied to degrade commercial glyphosate herbicide contaminants for an agricultural wastewater treatment investigation. The investigation aims to demonstrate a facile useful way of herbicide contaminant reduction for the better health of farmers. The graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites show an enhancement of the photocatalytic process with improved degradation rate constant (23% increased) in comparison to pure ZnO. Therefore, this work demonstrates that graphene quantum dots-ZnO nanocomposites can be used as a photocatalytic material for degrading organic dyes and commercial herbicide contaminants owing to its low-cost and environmental-friendly properties.

A Fluorescence Sensor Capable of Real-Time Herbicide Effect Monitoring in Greenhouses and the Field
摘要： Herbicide resistant weeds need to be identi?ed early so that yield loss can be avoided by applying proper ?eld management strategies. A novel chlorophyll-?uorescence-imaging sensor has been developed to conduct real-time herbicide effect evaluation. In this research, greenhouse and ?eld experiments were conducted to calibrate the capability of the sensor in monitoring herbicide effects on different biotypes of two grass weeds (Alopecurus myosuroides, Apera spica-venti) in southwestern Germany. Herbicides with different modes of action were applied for the effect monitoring. Chlorophyll ?uorescence yield of the plants was measured 3–15 days after treatment (DAT) using the new ?uorescence sensor. Visual assessment of the weeds was carried out on 21 DAT. The results showed that the maximal PS II quantum yield (Fv/Fm) of herbicide sensitive weeds was signi?cantly lower than the values of resistant populations in 5 DAT. The new technology was capable of quickly identifying the herbicide’s effect on plants. It can be used to optimize management strategies to control herbicide resistant weeds.

Combined adsorption process and photocatalytic degradation of some commercial herbicides over N-doped TiO <sub/>2</sub> particles supported on recyclable magnetic hexagonal mesoporous silica
摘要： Magnetic hexagonal mesoporous silica (magnetic HMS) containing N-doped TiO2 was prepared by hydrothermal method and used for the removal of trifluralin, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, and glyphosate herbicides at the presence and absence of UV/visible lights. The prepared samples were found as efficient for the removal of the herbicides and easily recyclable after treatment by UV irradiation. A red shift effect by nitrogen doping was also observed in the prepared samples resulting photocatalytic activity at the presence of visible light. Kinetic studies indicated that the photodegradation followed as the first order and kUV ≈ 10kvis. The results also showed synergetic effects between the adsorption of herbicides on the surface of magnetic HMS and photoreactions over N-doped TiO2 species.
