The synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from H2O and O2 by metal-free photocatalysts (e.g., graphitic carbon nitride, C3N4) is a potentially promising approach to generate H2O2. However, the photocatalytic H2O2 generation activity pristine C3N4 in pure poor due unpropitious rapid charge recombination unfavorable selectivity. Herein, we report facile method boost production grafting cationic polyethylenimine (PEI) molecules onto C3N4. Experimental results density functional theory (DFT)...

Nanomaterials open an alternative way for water disinfection. However, limitations such as aggregation, toxicity, and complex post‐treatment block their practical application. In this study, antibacterial silver/reduced graphene oxide (Ag/rGO) hydrogel consisting of controlled porous rGO network well‐dispersed Ag nanoparticle is synthesized by a facile hydrothermal reaction. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission microscope, X‐ray diffraction, mercury porosimetry, Fourier transform IR...

The shedding of pathogens by infected humans enables the use sewage monitoring to conduct wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE). Although most WBE studies data from large treatment plants, timely smaller catchments are needed for targeted public health action. Traditional sampling methods, like autosamplers or grab sampling, not conducive quick ad hoc deployments and high-resolution at these scales. This study develops validates a cheap easily deployable passive sampler unit, made readily...

Sound urban water management relies on extensive and reliable monitoring of infrastructure. As low-cost sensors networks have become increasingly available for environmental monitoring, researchers practitioners must consider the benefits disadvantages such technologies. In this perspective paper, we highlight six technical socio-technological considerations technology to reach its full potential in field management, including: barriers implementation, complementarity with traditional...

Urban stormwater, increasingly seen as a potential water resource for cities and towns, contains various trace organic chemicals (TrOCs). This study, conducted through comprehensive literature review of 116 publications, provides detailed report on the occurrence, concentration distribution, health, ecological risks TrOCs, well impact land use rainfall characteristics their concentrations. The uncovers total 629 TrOCs detected at least once in urban including 228 pesticides, 132...

A large-scale stormwater biofilter column study was conducted to evaluate the impact of design configurations and operating conditions on metal removal for harvesting protection aquatic ecosystems. The following factors were tested over 8 months operation: vegetation selection (plant species), filter media type, depth, inflow volume (loading rate), pollutant concentrations. Operational time also integrated treatment performance time. Vegetation type found be significant metals. larger depth...
