Loose-packed flower-like BiOCl hierarchical nanostructures (HNs) assembled by thin nanosheets were successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal method. Based on the matchability analysis of band structure of BiOCl and the molecular orbitals of the dyes, the RhB dye-sensitized heterogeneous BiOCl HNs system was established for MO degradation under visible light irradiation. The mechanism of MO degradation over RhB-sensitized BiOCl was also discussed according to the photocurrent and photoluminescence results. It was found that MO degradation efficiency over RhB-sensitized BiOCl HNs was obviously improved due to the generation of superoxide radicals (˙O2−) through the reduction of surface-adsorbed O2 molecules by the injected electrons on the conduction band of BiOCl HNs from the excited RhB molecules. This work may provide insight on better understanding the organic dye photodegradation process in RhB dye-sensitized BiOCl heterogeneous systems and explore a dye-sensitized semiconductor photocatalyst strategy for environmental remediation.

In this study, a hydrostable Z-scheme Ag/CsPbBr 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalyst was designed and fabricated for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The structural instability of CsPbX 3 perovskites in water is one of the main obstacles that restrict their practical application in photocatalytic wastewater treatment. The photocatalyst was prepared in three steps: passivation of CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals (NCs) with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), construction of a heterojunction between MPA-passivated CsPbBr 3 NCs and Bi 2 WO 6 ultrathin nanosheets, and doping Ag nanoparticles as charge mediators in the heterojunction. The as-obtained 5%Ag/20%CsPbBr 3 /Bi 2 WO 6 exhibits good stability and excellent photocatalytic activity. The degradation rate is 93.9% in 120 min, which is 4.41 times than that of Bi 2 WO 6 .

Hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) commonly occurs within industrial pipelines and its unsteady flow characteristics are of great significance for energy conservation and efficiency improvement. This study investigates the effects of methanol concentration (0–20 wt%) on the cavitating flow characteristics and the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under operating conditions of a 0.7 MPa pressure drop, temperature of 30 °C, 200 passes through a venturi reactor, and an initial RhB concentration of 40 μmol/L. The transient cavitation behavior was monitored using a high-speed camera. The cavitation images show that the presence of methanol generates more stable bubbles, which results in less violent bubble collapse. The pressure pulsation and vibration induced by cavitation flow were synchronously measured using high-frequency pressure and acceleration sensors. The spectral analyses of the pressure pulsation indicate that methanol has no effect on the dominant frequency (∼5.5 Hz) at different positions, and the amplitude initially increases with increasing methanol concentration and then stabilizes. The pressure pulsation intensity increases due to the increased vapor pressure of the solution. The vibration spectral analyses show that methanol has little effect on the peak frequencies, which occur near 4.0 kHz and 14.3 kHz of the low and high-frequency bands, respectively, whereas the peak amplitude decreases with increasing methanol concentration. The per-pass degradation model of RhB in methanol solution considering pyrolysis of methanol was verified for the first time and show to adequately describe the experimental data. The degradation percentage and per-pass degradation factor decrease with increasing methanol concentration. The reduced surface tension of the solution prolongs the bubble lifespan and prevents bubble coalescence , thus weakening the vibration and degradation performance . The results provide important insight for cavitation applications and degradation modeling of mixed solutions.

Rhodamine B (RhB) is highly carcinogenic and is therefore prohibited as a food colorant. Hence, it is necessary to establish a simple but effective technique for the sensitive determination of RhB in foodstuff. Herein, an efficient voltammetric platform was established for the detection of RhB in chili oil based on flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 microsphere/multiwalled carbon nanotube composites (β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNTs). Various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques confirmed the successful formation of β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNTs. Owing to the synergistic effect from β-Bi 2 O 3 microspheres and MWCNTs, the β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNTs demonstrated superior electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of RhB as compared to the individual components. Electrochemical kinetics tests confirmed that the RhB electrooxidation was governed by an irreversible and adsorption-controlled process, and involved two electrons one proton transfer pathway. The oxidation peak currents of RhB were linearly correlated with RhB concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 100 μM with a low limit of detection (0.002 μM). The β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNT demonstrated strong anti-interfering ability against other azo colorants, and retained robust voltammetric responses for at least 14 days. Moreover, the concentrations of RhB in chili oil were accurately detected by the β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNT via second-order derivative linear scan voltammetry with satisfactory recovery. Overall, the β-Bi 2 O 3 /MWCNT/GCE shows great potential for in-situ analysis of trace amounts of RhB in various food matrices.

In this work, typical refractory pollutant Rhodamine B (RhB) was effectively degraded by Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 composite in the photo-Fenton process. The hydrothermal synthesis of Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 composite with ethylene glycol as reductant created the multivalent coexistence of the same metal element to achieve a self-circle redox reaction between metals. The photo-Fenton process by Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 incredibly eliminated the limitation of strong acidic pH value applied in the Fenton process. ∙OH generated by Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 was 5 times that of Cu-Fe LDHs during the photo-Fenton process. The complete degradation of RhB in the photo-Fenton process under the optimal conditions of initial pH= 6, 5 mmol/L of H 2 O 2 , and 1 g/L of Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 dosage was far more than 46% of RhB degradation in the photocatalytic process and 76% of RhB degradation in the Fenton process. Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 composite exhibited the excellent redox ability, electron transfer ability and reusability during the photo-Fenton process. The acceleration of Fe 3+ /Fe 2+ cycles in the Cu-Fe LDHs/Bi 2 WO 6 /H 2 O 2 /Vis system was mainly ascribable to the combination of efficient transfer of photogenerated electrons and self-circle redox of Fe 3+ /Cu + . It is expected for the promising application of multivalent bimetallic photo-Fenton catalysts and rendering enlightenments for photo-Fenton catalytic oxidation reaction.

A highly selective fluorescent sensor Por-RBO for determination of Hg 2+ was designed and synthesized with Rhodamine B and Tetraphenylporphyrin. The sensor can determine the Hg 2+ of a solution within the pH 5.0–8.0, free from interference of other metal ions. When detected in buffer solution, the fluorescence was the strongest when five times the concentration of Hg 2+ ion was added. Calculated by fluorescence titration method, the detection limit of sensor Por-RBO for Hg 2+ ion was as low as 0.12 μmol/L. The geometries of Por-RBO and Por-RBO -Hg 2+ were optimized at the B3LYP/6-31G** level by density functional theory. The charge distribution, orbital interactions, and bonding characteristics were analyzed and compared in detail to discuss the recognition mechanism and structure–fluorescence property relationships. The results of cell fluorescence imaging and CCK-8 experiments indicate that the sensor Por-RBO exhibits lower cytotoxicity. Por-RBO can be used for fluorescence distribution imaging of Hg 2+ in living cells.

The rampant misuse of organic dyes has exacerbated environmental pollution to an alarming degree. SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 , a layered perovskite semiconductor material, demonstrates considerable potential in the degradation of organic dyes, and efforts have been made to enhance its photocatalytic efficiency. In this study, La 3+ doping was utilized to synthesize SrBi 4-x La x Ti 4 O 15 (x=0, 0.10, 0.15, 0.25, 0.40) nanosheet photocatalysts, and their photocatalytic performance and underlying mechanisms were comprehensively investigated. XRD and Raman spectroscopy revealed that La 3+ doping replaced Bi 3+ at the A-site, resulting in a reduction of the interlayer spacing of [TiO 6 ] octahedra. Combined with DFT calculations, La 3+ doping was found to widen the band gap of SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 and raise the Fermi level. Additionally, La 3+ doping significantly increased the ratio of the Ti 3d component at the bottom of the conduction band, favoring the migration of photogenerated electrons along the [TiO 6 ] octahedra and accelerating the separation of photogenerated carriers. SEM and BET analyses revealed that La 3+ doping not only increased the size of the nanosheets but also significantly enhanced their specific surface area, thereby exposing more active sites. Degradation experiments of Rhodamine B (Rh B) under UV light demonstrated that the photocatalytic efficiency of SrBi 3.75 La 0.25 Ti 4 O 15 (k = 0.0514 min -1 ) was 2.66 times higher than that of the original SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 (k = 0.0193 min -1 ). The theoretical degradation pathway of Rh B was elucidated using LC-MS analysis and the developmental toxicity of potential intermediates was analyzed. Moreover, the SrBi 3.75 La 0.25 Ti 4 O 15 photocatalyst also exhibited excellent degradation efficacy against Methylene Blue (MB), Crystal Violet (CV), and Methyl Orange (MO). This study provides both theoretical and experimental insights into improving the photocatalytic performance of SrBi 4 Ti 4 O 15 , thereby enhancing its potential for industrial application.

In this study, carbon nanodots (C-dots)/WO3 photocatalysts were prepared via a two-step hydrothermal method. The morphologies and optical properties of the as-prepared materials were investigated. Compared with the prepared WO3 and C-dots, the C-dots/WO3 possessed stronger photocatalytic capability and excellent recyclability for photocatalytic elimination of Rhodamine B. For example, the achieved first order reaction rate constant of 0.01942 min−1 for C-dots/WO3 was ∼7.7 times higher than that of the prepared WO3. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of C-dots/WO3 was attributed to the enhanced light harvesting ability and efficient spatial separation of photo-excited electron–hole pairs resulting from the synergistic effect of WO3 and C-dots. The high photocatalytic activity of C-dots/WO3 remained unchanged even after 3 cycles of use. Meanwhile, a possible mechanism of C-dots/WO3 for the enhanced photocatalytic activity was proposed.

The antibacterial and photocatalytic PVC film was prepared by doping heteronanostructure of TiO 2 nanowire@Ag nanoparticles. TiO 2 nanowire with 50–60 nm in diameter and 0.1 mm in length was prepared by a hydrothermal method, and Ag nanopartical about 5–10 nm in diameter was grafted on the surface of TiO 2 nanowire evenly in the solution. The antimicrobial ability and the photocatalytic properties of the nano-TiO 2 @Ag/PVC film were systematically investigated by changing the influence factors such as the content of nano-TiO 2 @Ag, pH value and the cultivation condition. It confirmed that the nano-TiO 2 @Ag nanostructure could increase the antibacterial efficiency of the PVC film. Further, nano-TiO 2 @Ag/PVC film also showed enhanced photocatalytic activity to decompose Rhodmine B (RhB).

In this work, fungal hyphae (FH, Irpex lacteus) was used as the carbon resource for the preparation of porous carbon materials (PCFH) using mixed alkali as the activator. The SEM, N2 adsorption/desorption, FT-IR, XRD, Raman, and XPS were used to characterize the structure and surface properties of PCFH. The results showed that the PCFH not only has a huge Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area (2480 m2 g−1), but also has abundant functional groups containing carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Rhodamine B (RhB) was selected to evaluate the adsorption properties of the PCFH prepared under different conditions in dyeing wastewater. A fast adsorption rate was observed, and an uptake capacity of 765 mg g−1 was achieved in the initial 5 min. The maximum adsorption capacity of PCFH to RhB reached 1912 mg g−1 at the pH value of 9, which could efficiently remove RhB from the aqueous solution. The adsorption process was fitted better by a pseudo-second order model, and the adsorption isotherm for the RhB was well fitted by the Freundlich model. Moreover, the probable mechanism of adsorption was analyzed. In short, the good adsorption performance of PCFH indicated that it has a broad application prospect for dye water pollution control.

A novel BiOBr/Ni-MOF composite was fabricated by in-situ growth of BiOBr nanosheets on Ni-MOF through a convenient precipitation process. The optimal photocatalytic performance was achieved with a Ni-MOF mass content of 45 wt% in the BiOBr/Ni-MOF composite. This composite exhibited remarkable efficiency, degrading 98.33 % of Rhodamine B in 90 min, surpassing the degradation rate constants of pristine BiOBr and Ni-MOF by 4.2 and 160 times, respectively. The superior performance was primarily ascribed to the efficient separation of photogenerated carriers facilitated by the formation of heterojunctions. Additionally, the increased specific surface area and pore structure provided numerous adsorption and active sites. Radical scavenger experiments and electron spin resonance experiments further revealed that O 2 − and h + played crucial roles in the degradation process. Furthermore, the structural properties of the prepared photocatalysts and the effects of different photocatalytic conditions on the degradation of RhB were investigated. This work offers an alternative perspective on the design and fabrication of BiOBr-based composite photocatalysts.

This study focuses on enhancing the piezoelectric photocatalytic activity of BiFeO 3 through rare earth ion doping. By doping rare earth ions (La, Sm, Ce), the crystal structure, optical properties, and piezoelectric properties of BiFeO 3 are modified. The results show that the doping alters the rhombic structure, reduces the band gap, and enhances light absorption. A synergistic system combining ultraviolet − visible spectral irradiation and a high − frequency ultrasonic field was used. By monitoring the decomposition kinetics of Rhodamine B (RhB) and the generation pathways of free radicals, the multi-field coupling catalytic efficiency of piezoelectric semiconductor materials was systematically quantified. The doping significantly improves the degradation rate, with Bi 0.8 Sm 0.2 FeO 3 showing the best performance. The roles of different radicals in the degradation process are investigated, and the catalyst shows good stability and sustainability after multiple cycles.
