Effective separation and rapid transfer of photogenerated electron–hole pairs are key features of photocatalytic materials with high catalytic activity, which could be achieved in co-catalysts. It is reported that the two-dimensional (2D) MoS2 is a promising co-catalyst due to its unique semi-conductive properties and graphene-like layered structure. However, the application of MoS2 as a co-catalyst is limited by its poor electrical conductivity. On the other hand, it is worth noting that TiO2 possesses reactive crystal facets, which is one of the dominant mechanisms for the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. In this work, we prepared MoS2/RGO hybrids as co-catalysts which were doped to TiO2 with highly reactive {001} planes via the hydrothermal method. It was found that the {001}-TiO2/MoS2/RGO photocatalysts with 7 wt% MoS2/RGO co-catalyst show the highest photodegradation activity for the degradation of Rh B under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm), which could result from the synergy of the effective separation of electron–hole pairs by the {001} facets in TiO2 and the rapid transfer of electron–hole pairs in MoS2/RGO. The results show that the {001}-TiO2/MoS2/RGO hybrid is a low-cost and stable photocatalyst for the effective degradation of Rh B under visible light.

Biochar has attracted considerable interest owing to its high adsorption capacity; however, the mechanisms through which environmental factors influence the release of adsorbed pollutants remain unclear. This study investigates the adsorption and desorption dynamics of Rhodamine B (RhB) on biochars B2 and B6, which were pyrolyzed at temperatures of 200 °C and 600 °C, respectively, under varying conditions. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in removal efficiency at low RhB concentrations; however, at a concentration of 600 mg/L, biochar B2 had a higher removal efficiency than B6, likely attributable to more adsorption sites. Increased temperatures were found to enhance desorption from both B2 and B6, with B6 exhibiting a faster desorption rate. This phenomenon may be due to the stronger hydrogen bonding between B2 and RhB, which could inhibit desorption. In addition, elevated pH values facilitated desorption, presumably through electrostatic repulsion. Under alkaline conditions, B2 released a greater amount of dissolved organic matter (DOM), leading to increased RhB desorption relative to B6. This study offers a valuable reference for evaluating the environmental risk associated with the application of biochar in real-world settings.

Based on the excellent adsorption, photosensitization and electron transfer ability of biochar, the combination of photocatalyst and biochar is an effective method to improve the overall photocatalytic activity. Hence, a novel efficient CS-biochar/ZnO/TiO 2 photocatalyst with the different content of N-doped porous CS-biochar were constructed and characterized by a variety of testing methods, such as FT-IR, XRD, UV–vis DRS, SEM–EDS, PL, EIS, TPR, LSV. Photocatalytic experiments indicated that all the CS-biochar/ZnO/TiO 2 composites with different CS-biochar content exhibit excellent photocatalytic activity for Rh B degradation. Among them, 63%-CS/ZnO/TiO 2 composite has the best catalytic activity, which 94.5% of Rh B was degraded within 25 min, and the kinetic constant was 0.0993 min −1 , which is about 1.96 and 1.72 times that ZnO (0.0507 min −1 ) and TiO 2 (0.0576 min −1 ), respectively. Moreover, photoelectrochemical experiment results confirmed that CS-biochar/ZnO/TiO 2 greatly enhanced the charge separation process compare with ZnO and TiO 2 . Meanwhile, CS-biochar/ZnO/TiO 2 has excellent stability, and a possible photocatalytic mechanism was put forward.

Electro-biological particle electrode (EPE) made from steel converter slag (SCS) was used as a particle electrode in an enlarged anode electric biological (EAEB) reactor for Rhodamine B (RhB) wastewater treatment, and its purification performance and microbial community were examined. The results revealed that (1) the EAEB reactor showed much higher average removal rates of RhB, COD and NH 4 + -N, i.e. 91.68%, 87.63%, and 90.54%, which meant an increase by 59.86%, 20.48%, and 14.22%, respectively, compared with BAF; (2) The optimum current intensity (CI) for simultaneously removing RhB, COD and NH 4 + -N in the EAEB reactor was at 1.00 A; and (3) Methylophilus, Aeromonas, Pseudomonas, Pelomonas and Zoogloea accounted for the main bacterial community in EAEB. Therefore, the EAEB reactor with EPE produced from steel converter slag (SCS) was suitable to simultaneously remove RhB, COD and NH 4 + -N.

Imidazolium salt-incorporated postcross-linked porous polymers, namely, IL-PVB-pc-80%, were developed, and they were evaluated for the adsorption of rhodamine B (RB) and Cd2+ from aqueous solution. After N-vinylimidazole and p-dichloroxylene were inserted in the skeletons, IL-PVB-pc-80% contained both ionized imidazole moieties and plentiful mesopores. The adsorption experiments indicated that IL-PVB-pc-80% has excellent adsorption properties with a maximum capacity of 693.5 mg/g for RB and 373.3 mg/g for Cd2+. The adsorption mechanism revealed that the incorporated imidazolium salts were significantly beneficial for the adsorption.

BiVO 4 is known for its ability to decompose water under visible light irradiation. However, BiVO 4 overall suffers from rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers, low photochemical conversion efficiency, low specific surface area, poor conductivity, and weak adsorption capacity of dye. These features limited its application in photocatalysis. In this work, ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were successfully fabricated by in situ electrostatic adsorption of g-C 3 N 4 sheets on RGO/BiVO 4 surface using hydrothermal and thermal oxidations processes. The ternary Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 nanocomposites were then tested for photodegradation of Rhodamine B. The introduction of graphene into direct Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 nanocomposites as an electronic accelerator efficiently enhanced the photocatalytic properties. The as-prepared g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites exhibited optimal visible light responses with significantly improved photocatalytic performances toward degradation of Rhodamine B. The degradation efficiency using ternary photocatalyst reached 100% after 20 min of irradiation time. The reaction rate constant was estimated to 1.537, which was almost 29- and 20-folds higher than those of pure g-C 3 N 4 and binary g-C 3 N 4 /BiVO 4 , respectively. The synergistic effect between BiVO 4 , RGO and g-C 3 N 4 yielded g-C 3 N 4 /RGO/BiVO 4 composites with Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism, promoting rapid separation and slow recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs with strong photocatalytic activity. Overall, these findings look promising for design of future Z-scheme photocatalysts for environmental degradation of organic dyes.

Ternary Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composites with an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance have been prepared via a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. The photo-degradation experiments verified that Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite with a large surface area of 68.2 m 2 /g exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity and adsorption capacity towards Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation , which was higher than that of the naked CdS and ln 2 S 3 , respectively. Furthermore, Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite showed robust degradation efficiency for mixture dyes of RhB and Methyl Orange (MO), and its catalytic ability was superior to that of ternary GO/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite. The trapping experiments for active species revealed that hole (h + ) and • O 2 − species played a critical role in the removal of organic pollutants. In summary, the enhanced photocatalytic performance of Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS photocatalyst was derived from an excellent charge carrier separation and transfer of Ti 3 C 2 –OH MXene and the synergistic effect between CdS and ln 2 S 3 which resulting in strong visible light response.

At present, the visible light (Vis) catalytic oxidation, as a wastewater treatment approach without secondary pollution, has captured the interest of many researchers. However, the efficiency of visible photocatalysis still needs to be continuously improved. In this study, a piezoelectric photocatalyst Bi 2 WO 6 (BWO) responding to both Vis and ultrasound (US) was prepared, characterized, and employed to treat Rhodamine B (RhB) in water. The removal efficiencies of RhB under different systems (Vis/BWO, US/BWO, (Vis + US)/BWO) were investigated and the reuse capacity of BWO were examined. Moreover, the piezoelectric photocatalytic mechanism of (Vis + US)/BWO system on RhB removal was analyzed. The results exhibited that the prepared Bi 2 WO 6 possessed excellent photoresponsive and piezoresponsive properties, and the removal and mineralization of RhB could reach 100% and 77.2% within 60 min, respectively. Under the combined effect of photocatalysis and piezoelectricity, the superoxide radicals, hydroxyl radicals, and photogenerated holes produced, which were responsible for the degradation of RhB in (Vis + US)/BWO system.

A new hierarchical visible-light-driven photocatalyst Bi2TiO4F2 was synthesized by a solvothermal method for the first time. The photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), N2 adsorption–desorption (BET), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Such hierarchical Bi2TiO4F2 microspheres assembled by nanosheets were fabricated via an Ostwald ripening process in the absence of soft templates (surfactants). The as-prepared samples’ bimodal pore-size distributions in the mesoporous region consisted of smaller intra-aggregated pores with peak pore diameter of ca. 4.6 nm and larger inter-aggregated pores with peak pore diameter of ca. 17.0 nm. The band gap of the obtained Bi2TiO4F2 was estimated to be about 2.71–3.06 eV for various solvothermal treatment time. Owing to the hierarchical structure with bimodal pores, low band gaps and high crystallinity, the Bi2TiO4F2 microspheres exhibited high photocatalytic performance and durability for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light (> 420 nm). It was proved that the photo-generated holes and ˙OH radicals played an essential role for the oxidation of RhB.

Loading a noble metal on Bi4Ti3O12could enable the formation of the Schottky barrier at the interface between the former and the latter, which causes electrons to be trapped and inhibits the recombination of photoelectrons and photoholes. In this paper, AgPt/Bi4Ti3O12composite photocatalysts were prepared using the photoreduction method, and the effects of the type and content of noble metal on the photocatalytic performance of the catalysts were investigated. The photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) showed that the loading of AgPt bimetallic nanoparticles significantly improved the catalytic performance of Bi4Ti3O12. When 0.10 wt% noble metal was loaded, the degradation rate for RhB of Ag0.7Pt0.3/Bi4Ti3O12was 0.027 min−1, which was respectively about 2, 1.7 and 3.7 times as that of Ag/Bi4Ti3O12, Pt/Bi3Ti4O12and Bi4Ti3O12.The reasons may be attributed as follows: (i) the utilization of visible light was enhanced due to the surface plasmon resonance effect of Ag and Pt in the visible region; (ii) Ag nanoparticles mainly acted as electron acceptors to restrain the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs under visible light irradiation; and (iii) Pt nanoparticles acted as electron cocatalysts to further suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The photocatalytic performance of Ag0.7Pt0.3/Bi4Ti3O12was superior to that of Ag/Bi4Ti3O12and Pt/Bi3Ti4O12owing to the synergistic effect between Ag and Pt nanoparticles.Keywords:photocatalytic;Rhodamine B;photoreduction;Bi4Ti3O12;AgPt/Bi4Ti3O12

Advanced synthesis of nanoflower structures consisting of TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 nanoflowers with three-dimensional (3D) porous frameworks from two-dimensional (2D) Ti 3 C 2 MXene was done and applied for degradation of organic pollutant. The special structure of material was created by the in situ transformation, starting from Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene as provision of Ti source. The basis properties of material were characterized by SEM, TEM , XRD and XPS. The Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene showed layered structure and then this morphology was replaced by nanoflower spheres with rapid growth of TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 nanowhiskers. In terms of application, the TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 heterojunction showed an extraordinary photocatalytic efficiency toward Rhodamine B (RhB) compared to performances of pristine Ti 3 C 2 , and commercial TiO 2 . In addition, the TiO 2 @Ti 3 C 2 composite also displays the good recyclability even after 5th degradation cycles. Based on the finding, it gains a deeper insight into practical applications of 2D transition metal carbide for treatment of organic pollutants in wastewater.
