      abstract     = {Humic acids (HAs) provide an important bio-source for
                      redox-active materials. Their functional chemical groups are
                      responsible for several properties, such as metal ion
                      chelating activity, adsorption ability towards small
                      molecules and antibacterial activity, through reactive
                      oxygen species (ROS) generation. However, the poor
                      selectivity and instability of HAs in solution hinder their
                      application. A promising strategy for overcoming these
                      disadvantages is conjugation with an inorganic phase, which
                      leads to more stable hybrid nanomaterials with tuneable
                      functionalities. In this study, we demonstrate that hybrid
                      humic acid/titanium dioxide nanostructured materials that
                      are prepared via a versatile in situ hydrothermal strategy
                      display promising antibacterial activity against various
                      pathogens and behave as selective sequestering agents of
                      amoxicillin and tetracycline antibiotics from wastewater. A
                      physicochemical investigation in which a combination of
                      techniques were utilized, which included TEM, BET,
                      13C-CPMAS-NMR, EPR, DLS and SANS, shed light on the
                      structure-property-function relationships of the
                      nanohybrids. The proposed approach traces a technological
                      path for the exploitation of organic biowaste in the design
                      at the molecular scale of multifunctional nanomaterials,
                      which is useful for addressing environmental and health
                      problems that are related to water contamination by
                      antibiotics and pathogens.},
