Abstract
Efficient water contaminant removal is critical for ecological and environmental sustainability. Developing energy-efficient, cost-effective catalysts compatible with existing water treatment systems is essential. This study introduces NdYVO4:Eu3+ nanoparticles as promising sonocatalysts, capable of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) during ultrasound (US) exposure and maintaining persistent ROS activity for up to 12 h postexposure. These nanoparticles effectively degraded methylene orange and rhodamine B and demonstrated significant antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The findings were further validated by using nanoparticle-coated industrial ceramic plates. This work provides an alternative procedure for US-triggered ROS production and suggests that NdYVO4:Eu3+ nanoparticles might be promising in sonocatalytic water treatment.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Engineering Materials is an international and interdisciplinary forum devoted to original research covering all aspects of engineered materials complementing the ACS Applied Materials portfolio. Papers that describe theory simulation modeling or machine learning assisted design of materials and that provide new insights into engineering applications are welcomed. The journal also considers experimental research that includes novel methods of preparing characterizing and evaluating new materials designed for timely applications. With its focus on innovative applications ACS Applied Engineering Materials also complements and expands the scope of existing ACS publications that focus on materials science discovery including Biomacromolecules Chemistry of Materials Crystal Growth & Design Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research Inorganic Chemistry Langmuir and Macromolecules.The scope of ACS Applied Engineering Materials includes high quality research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in materials science engineering physics mechanics and chemistry.
