This review provides a comprehensive overview of conventional methods for oil spill removal, highlighting both their advantages and limitations. Traditional methods for addressing oil spills, including physical, thermal, biological and chemical techniques, often prove insufficient, with chemical dispersants being the most popular approach. However, the concern about the toxicity and low biodegradability of these dispersants have led researchers to explore more effective and ecologically benign alternatives. Recently, surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) have gained interest due to their amphiphilic nature, green and biodegradable characteristics, and excellent performance under various temperature and salinity conditions. In this review, the molecular composition of SAILs, with a specific emphasis on the roles of their head groups, alkyl chains, and counter anions, has been discussed. Additionally, the aggregation behavior of SAILs, their ability to reduce interfacial tension (IFT), and their potential to form stable emulsions, which are important for effective oil dispersion, has been also discussed in the paper. This review also examines key environmental factors such as temperature and salinity that influence the efficacy of oil dispersion using SAILs. The study investigates the possibilities of SAILs as an environmentally friendly substitute for conventional dispersants, while also discussing the challenges and possible future paths for the industry. However, the long-term environmental effects of SAILs and their degradation products are still uncertain, underscoring the necessity of future research. Insights into the optimization of SAIL formulations, their environmental impact, and the feasibility of large-scale application are also discussed, offering a forward-looking perspective on the development of next-generation oil spill remediation technologies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":239,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Colloid and Interface Science","volume":"336 ","pages":"Article 103362"},"PeriodicalIF":15.9,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142775534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional coatings face challenges in agglomeration of nano fillers, structural control, environmental issues, and poor conductivity, which limits the applications. With features in controllable surface chemistry and composition, rich surface terminations, better conductivity than graphene oxide, high aspect-ratio, strong impermeability, and low friction coefficient, the two-dimensional (2D) MXene presents potential for applications in corrosion protection in new energy systems.

In this review, a brief induction of MXene and the specially four corrosive environments (offshore wind power at deep sea, bipolar plates in PEMFC environments, zinc anode in AZIBs, and current collectors in Li-ion battery) are presented.

Due to high surface area, easy functionalization, high chemical stability, biocompatibility, and ability to adhere to biological structures, GBNs become a promising candidate for agro-delivery carriers. A comprehensive review on developments of GBNs for pesticide delivery, nutrient delivery, food packaging and preservation, and their impacts on plant growth and development are missing in the literature. To address this, here we presented a detailed review on the material design, agrochemicals loading, release or diffusion kinetics, <em>in-vivo</em> applications, and effects of GBNs on plants. The GBNs found to improve the efficacy of existing agrochemicals and food preservatives, aiming to decrease the overall burden of these substances. The incorporation of GBNs in biocompatible and biodegradable polymers is reported to improve their oxygen barrier and mechanical properties for food packaging applications, targeting to reduce the use of petroleum-derived polymers based current food packaging materials, which leads to serious environmental impacts. In the context of plant nanobionics, GBNs has been found to boost the plant growth at low concentrations. Here, recommendations for future research have been deliberated, drawing reference from the relevant area to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying science, and to develop better delivery and packaging applications approaches.

Various pollutants, including dyes, acids, pharmaceuticals, and toxic heavy metals have been released into the environment through industrial, domestic, and agricultural activities, posing serious environmental and public health risks. Addressing these issues requires the development of more effective waste treatment processes. Membrane-based treatment technologies offer significant advantages, including high efficiency, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, making them a promising solution for mitigating the impact of these pollutants. In view of this, the potential of ion exchange membranes (IEMs) is continuously increasing due to their advanced characteristics compared to conventional techniques. Anion exchange membranes (AEMs), a special class of IEMs, selectively allow anions to pass through their pores due to the positive charge on their surface. This selective passage aids in resource recovery and removing specific types of pollutants. This review covers preparation methods, modification techniques, and classification of AEMs. It offers a practical classification based on the method of synthesis and structural properties of AEMs. The water-based applications of AEMs including, electrodialysis, diffusion dialysis, and electro-electrodialysis for various wastewater treatments such as heavy metal recovery, dye removal, pharmaceutical removal, and acid separation, have been discussed in detail. Additionally, the effect of various operational parameters on the performance and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis of AEMs in effluent treatment are presented.
