Hydrogen-bonding, solvent-accessible surface area, radius of gyration, and pore geometry analyses revealed strong solvent dependence. Water strongly solvated the peptides and weakened inter-peptide contacts whereas hexane promoted aggregation of the charged peptides. THF produced compact, ordered nanotubes with well-defined channels, identifying it as the most favorable medium.

Multiple molecules were found at the peptide interface and inside the central pore, suggesting effective loading and strong binding.

Among advanced oxidation processes, semiconductor-mediated photocatalysis using iron oxide nanoparticles offers a promising, sustainable solution.

The product was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). XRD confirmed phase-pure rhombohedral α-Fe2O3, while SEM showed nearly spherical particles with an average diameter of 164 nm.
