    Chemistry of ionic liquid with its classification and applications
    (Elsevier, 2023) Arif Ali, Saima Kamaal Mohd Muslim , Musheer Ahmad, Mohd Afzal, Saleem Javed, Qazi Inamur Rahman
    Ionic liquids have had a wide range of impact in every field of science and technology. Ionic liquids have great potential at academic and industrial levels. The Protonic nature of ionic liquids (ILs) generates electrons at very low irradiation of light. In water splitting, imidazole based ILs generate electron and oxidation-reduction processes occurring and produce hydrogen fuel from water. Cationic and anionic parts are getting a lot of attention in the application of electrochemical processes. ILs are liquid below 100 °C that mobilized ion in the solution. Beyond electrochemical applications, the functionality of ILs is good adsorbent for harmful organic compounds through post-combustion catalysis and also used for extraction, energy production, reproduction of water and so on. ILs may also be useful in organic synthesis instead of organic catalysts such as catalytic conversion of CO2, alkylation, substitution, elimination, acylation, oxidation, addition, esterification, condensation, and halogenation. Because of green synthesis of ILs, these are less toxic in nature.

    Photocatalytic Wastewater Remediation using Nanoparticles Present Challenges and Future Outlook
    (CRC Press, 2024) Adil Shafi, Nafees Ahmad, Shah Imtiaz, Sabeeha Jabeen, Ashaq Hussain Bhat, Suhail Sabir, Mohammad Zain Khan
    Increasing water pollution and scarcity of clean drinking water is a growing concern around the world. Huge amount of chemicals such as dyes, chlorophenols, and pesticides are dumped into the water bodies through diverse means that pose a serious thr¬eat to both terrestrial and aquatic life. Several conventional techniques such as coagulation, disinfection, sludge drying, fluoridation and pH correction have been used to treat contaminated water. Most of the methods used so far face some limitations of high cost, incomplete disinfection, formation of secondary pollutants etc. Nanotechnology is the innovative technology to detect the finest contaminants from water sources and provide best solutions to mitigate these pollutants in the environment. Photocatalytic remediation using nanocatalysts is one such solution and can be considered as a safe and sustainable approach to decontaminate wastewater. Photocatalytic technology offers a great promise and has been demonstrated as an effective, versatile and green technique for environmental remediation. Photocatalysis is an advanced oxidation technique that can degrade the pollutants by generating highly reactive species on exposure to UV light, ozone or hydrogen peroxide. In this chapter, we highlighted the current perspective of photocatalysis as an environment sustainable technique and have explained the futuristic scenario for addressing the global water crisis.

    Preparation and applications of water-based coordination pillared-layer
    (Elsevier, 2024) Mohd Sufiyan Abbasi; Atif Husain, Benjamin Siddiqui, Malik Nasibullah, Naseem Ahmad, Mohd Asif
    Coordination pillared layers (CPLs) are solely crystalline porous polymers (PCPs) with certain distinctive characteristics and promising uses. These distinct features open the path for more complex and long-term uses. Due to the recent developments made in their historical construction over the past few decades, they have gained wide attention from the scientific community due to their innate potential. Moreover, their preparation by the principles of green synthesis and sustainability has revolutionized the same field and broadened the domain of research by providing more inclusiveness to the scientific community. In the last few decades, research on CPLs, including the range of their structural features, synthesis, and uses, has grown significantly. These structures' unique features are enticingly opening up new avenues for prospective uses in areas including the adsorption process, catalysis, sensing, drug delivery, etc. These emerging applications drastically increase its utility and a need for more bulk manufacturing to satisfy the needs of the growing global market towards a sustainable and greener scale. Apart from the vast number of these structures being reported, their industrial application is still limited which can be seen due to some factors like stability as compared to non-pillared structures. Consequently, the need for designing new structures with special linkers and coordination atoms to improve their utility for various applications is the need of the hour. This will not only allow us to explore their structures but will comply with the new emerging potential applications.

    Industrial aspects of water-based metal–organic frameworks
    (Elsevier, 2024) Malik Nasibullah; Atif Husain , Farrukh Aqil
    The intrinsic potential leading to different functional properties and applications is due to the scope of controlled morphology and modifiable modular structure of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). The prerequisite for the employment of these MOFs in industrial applications is their synthetic procedures by considering method optimization and structural characterization including morphological characterization and stability. During the past few decades, a paradigm shift is seen in the construction of these MOFs encompassing research to material, energy, environmental research, and green chemical engineering from a standard laboratory scale. In the current scenario of globalization and the consequences erupting from it, the adoption of a greener preparation pathway for the synthesis of MOFs is the need of the hour. For the same, the employment of water both as a reaction media and additive as either of them is progressively moving toward greener and sustainable pathways considering the related safety and environmental impacts. These water-based MOFs could provide a better and more efficient pathway leading to the related industrial implementation and commercial applications like efficient fuel storage, pollutant removal, water harvesting, and other adsorption-based technologies which will significantly contribute to clean energy exploitation and environmental protection leading to a future based on green production. The versatility of water as compared with other organic solvents in terms of its non-toxic nature, easy stability and disposability, handling, environment friendliness, and easy scale-up techniques leads to a crucial need for upcoming investigations of water-based MOFs by optimizing its structures or properties to develop its potential applications in energy conversions, catalysis, drug delivery, chemical sensors, supercapacitors, etc. From a future perspective the development of green synthetic routes by minimal usage of organic solvents that pose safety and environmental risk wherever technically and economically practicable is a progressive task of utmost importance.

    Fundamentals of Metal Organic Frameworks
    (Elsevier, 2023) Atif Husain; Malik Nasibullah
    Green synthetic pathways are a prerequisite for a larger implementation of metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) towards a sustainable approach leading to the better reproducibility of the novel, selective and efficient MOFs. Advancing progress in the synthesis of MOFs proceeding through greener and water-based pathways will not only overcome the pertaining challenges erupting from the traditional conventional synthetic procedures but will provide a brighter scope in the betterment of the environment and economic impacts. The last three decades have seen a rapid increase in the study of MOFs especially focused on the synthetic pathways and industrial applications and commercialization of desired MOFs. To familiarize with the developed and emerging synthetic procedures, one needs to have a very clear and distinct understanding of the fundamentals of MOF. This chapter presents a concise study of multiple concepts which are essential to apprehend all the necessary points associated with the detailed study of the fundamentals of MOF. The essential parameters around which the MOF chemistry is based are discussed ranging from the introductory part and past trends to the categoric selection of specific properties leading to the development of newer and advanced applications in the same field.
