Abstract Bismuth chloride oxide (BiOCl) is a typical V-VI-VII ternary oxide material, which is one of the widely studied metal oxides due to its unique surface, electronic and photocatalytic properties. However, the broad bandgap and the large number of photogenerated electron-hole pair complexes of BiOCl limit its photocatalytic efficiency. Since the photocatalytic performance of BiOCl is highly dependent on its exposed crystallographic facets, research attention has increasingly focused on the different structures and properties possessed by different crystallographic facets of BiOCl. This article reviews the basic principles of using different crystalline surfaces of BiOCl materials to enhance photocatalytic activity, summarizes the applications of BiOCl single-crystal catalysts and composite catalysts in the environmental field, and provides an outlook on the challenges and new research directions for future development in this emerging frontier area. It is hoped that the crystalline surface-related photocatalysis of BiOCl can be used to provide new guidance for the rational design of novel catalysts for various energy and environment-related applications.

Abstract Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) are a class of crystalline materials that, thanks to their large surface area and high porosity, allow them to be used in various areas of knowledge. This diversity of applications is due to the metal ions and the organic binders that compose them, but it is also important to highlight the ability of MOFs to function as hosts for a great variety of molecules of very different sizes and chemical properties. The first existing approaches for incorporating biomolecules in MOFs are discussed: pore encapsulation, surface binding, covalent binding, and in-situ encapsulation. Next, we discuss the obstacles of designing MOFs for effective gene delivery and how to enhance the gene delivery using different strategies.

Abstract Modern cements are complex materials with well-defined compositions that reach to high and consistent results. Automated techniques such as Rietveld analysis lead to provide an understanding of the composition and polymorphism of cement phases that could lead to control of the clinkering conditions to optimize characteristics and consequently quality product. For the characterization of cements used in the construction sector, Rietveld method has significant benefits over other analytical techniques. The precise information about phase assemblage and polymorphism lets monitoring the hydration behavior of binder materials. The objective of this paper is to report the quantitative Rietveld phase analyzes for three industrial clinkers, to review the most recent quantitative X-ray powder diffraction studies on anhydrous cement and to discuss the influence of the different parameters elaborated in the Rietveld method.

Abstract Ruthenium complexes are considered as the most favorable alternatives to traditional platinum-based cancer drugs owing to their acceptable toxicity level, selectivity, variant oxidation states and ability to treat platinum-resistant cancer cells. They have similar ligand exchange kinetics as platinum drugs but can be tailored according to our desire by ligands influence. In the current study, we illustrate the in-vitro anticancer profile of some ruthenium complexes (2016–2021) against human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2). The anticancer activity of ruthenium complexes is determined by comparing their IC50 values with one another and positive controls. Fortunately, some ruthenium complexes including 3, 4, 6, 14, 15, 20, 42, and 48 exhibit surpassed in-vitro anticancer profile than that of positive controls promising as potential candidates against liver cancer. We also explored the structure-activity relationship (SAR) which is a key factor in the rational designing and synthesis of new ruthenium drugs. It covers the factors affecting anticancer activity including lipophilicity, planarity, area and bulkiness, the steric influence of different ligands, and electronic effects induced by ligands, stability, aqueous solubility and bioavailability to the target sites. The data reported here will provide strong support in the plausible design and synthesis of ruthenium anticancer drugs in the upcoming days.

Abstract Graphene-based layered materials have got significant interest in membrane technology for water desalination, gas separation, organic nanofiltration, pervaporation, proton exchange applications, etc. and show remarkable results. Up to date, various methods have been developed for fabrication of high performance membrane. Most of them are only suitable for research purposes, but not appropriate for mass transport barrier and membrane applications that require large-area synthesis. In this comprehensive review, we summarized the current synthesis and fabrication methods of graphene-based membranes. Emphasis will be given on fabrication of both graphene-based nanoporous and lamellar membranes. Finally, we discuss the current engineering hurdles and future research directions yet to be explored for fabrication of such membranes.

Abstract With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, environmental pollution has become more severe. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) could be originated from the following sources: domestic, mobile and industrial sources. As important air pollutants, VOCs could cause serious harm to the environment and human health. Therefore, removing VOCs has become a priority research direction of ecological issues. Among the many elimination methods, catalytic oxidation approaches are among the most effective and economical methods which can transform VOCs into CO2 and H2O. MnOx catalysts are among the most active catalysts, which can be further modified by different cations such as Cu2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Ni2+ and Ce4+ to form mixed oxides to improve the catalytic oxidation of VOCs activity. Moreover, MnOx can be loaded on the carrier, improving the redox and oxygen storage capacity and improving its stability and activity. This review explores the structure, preparation and oxidation state of Mn-based catalysts.

Abstract The article presents the results of generalization of known information on various methods of enrichment of low-grade phosphate raw materials in the world. Based on the review of literature materials, scientists propose several methods of enrichment: mechanical, calcination at high temperatures, flotation, chemical enrichment with various acids and salts. Analyzing and summarizing these data, the article describes the advantages and disadvantages of each proposed method of enrichment of low-grade phosphorites. It is known that the sphere of production of phosphorus-containing products is important for many agricultural countries that produce these products themselves or import from others. This review material is very important for those who are interested in the problems of attracting low-grade phosphates into the production cycle by enriching them.

Abstract The rapid growth and revolution in the area of emerging therapeutics has been able to save the life of millions of patients globally. Besides these developments, the microbes are consistently struggling for their own survival and hence becoming quite more sturdy and incurable to existing drugs. Covid-19 virus and Black Fungus are recent examples of failure of medical preparations and strength of these viruses beyond the imagination of medical practitioners. Henceforth the study has made an extensive survey of exiting literature on heterocyclic schiff bases and their transition metal complexes to look for their potential applicability as antimicrobial agents. The inherent physiognomies of the essential properties of these transition metal complexes including thermodynamic, kinetic and chelating are comparatively modifiable as per requirements. The study has found that the biological applications of these transition metal complexes are well suited to be used as antibacterial and antifungal agents.

In P1C2P2C3Si1 the P2 atom is common. The structural data (Pt–L, L–Pt–L) are analyzed and discussed with an attention to the distortion of a square-planar geometry about Pt(II) atoms as well as trans-influence. The sum of Pt–L(x4) bond distances growing with covalent radius of the X1 and Y atoms.
