Developing a simple, low-cost, high-yield, and controllable strategy for preparing various functionalized MoS 2 -based composite materials remains a challenge. This study innovatively utilizes boron subphthalocyanine bromide (SubPc-Br) as a photosensitizer, which self-assembles on MoS 2 via intermolecular π-π stacking, creating a SubPc-Br/MoS 2 organic–inorganic semiconductor system. This addresses a research gap, employing subphthalocyanines as MoS 2 sensitizers. The SubPc-Br/MoS 2 heterojunction exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of antibiotics in water under solar irradiation. The rate constants for the photocatalytic degradation of CTC and CIP by SubPc-Br/MoS 2 were 4.66 and 5.93 times higher than those of pristine MoS 2 , respectively. The significant improvement in photocatalytic performance is attributed to the efficient charge separation and transfer induced by the unique S-Scheme charge transfer mechanism, which has been verified by different theoretical and experimental results. We demonstrate that the photochemical activity of O 2 molecules adsorbed on MoS 2 (1 0 0) is site-sensitive, with O 2 preferentially adsorbing on the Mid-site location with higher electron transport capability. This study provides a new perspective for enhancing photocatalytic performance by constructing an artificial photosynthetic system with an S-scheme heterojunction.

For the efficient harnessing of solar energy and mitigation of environmental pollution, the development and application of semiconductor photocatalysis technology is paramount. Herein, a novel SubPc-Br/CdS supramolecular array with an S-scheme heterojunction was synthesized through the intermolecular π-stacked self-assembly of subphthalocyanine (SubPc-Br) and nanometer cadmium sulfide (CdS). This self-assembly system features a highly structured architecture and excellent stability. Experiments and ground-state differential charge calculations demonstrate that SubPc-Br and CdS form a built-in electric field during the self-assembly process, a critical factor in promoting the dissociation of electrons and holes. Additionally, this study utilized time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to simulate the dynamic adsorption behavior of excited oxygen molecules on the SubPc-Br/CdS interface for the first time. The analysis of molecular charge differential density under different excited states proved that the addition of SubPc-Br molecules not only improves the photocorrosion resistance of CdS in an O 2 adsorption environment but also enhances the production of advanced reactive oxygen species under the synergistic action of h + and ·O 2 – . When subjected to visible light, the degradation efficiency of minocycline (MC) achieved 96.8 % within 60 min and maintained 80.3 % after 5 cycles. In summary, this study highlights the feasibility of creating advanced S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts through the strategic incorporation of organic supramolecules with semiconductor catalysts.

Constructing S-scheme heterojunctions is an effective strategy to enhance charge separation efficiency. In this study, for the first time, boron subphthalocyanine bromide (SubPc-Br) was formed by self-assembly on the surface of layer BiOI to form an S-scheme heterojunction (SubPc-Br/BiOI) through halogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions. Experimental results demonstrate that the SubPc-Br/BiOI composite enhances tetracycline removal efficiency by a factor of 1.6 compared to pure BiOI. Notably, after five cycles, the composite still maintains a high tetracycline removal rate, which is 2.62 times that of pure BiOI. DFT and TDDFT theoretical calculations, combined with synchrotron X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) under simultaneous illumination, indicate that the internal electric field generated between the [Bi 2 O 2 ] layer and the SubPc-Br macrocycle plays a dominant role in charge separation, while interfacial electron transfer contributes to the constitution of the S-scheme heterojunction. Moreover, the combination of molecular dynamics simulations (MD), Fukui function calculations, and HPLC-MS detection reveals the mechanism of pollutant degradation. This study introduces an innovative strategy for the construction of BiOI-based S-scheme heterojunctions. Constructing S-scheme heterojunctions is an effective strategy to enhance charge separation efficiency.

Constructing heterojunction of supramolecular arrays self-assembled on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with elaborate charge transfer mechanisms is a promising strategy for the photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutants. Herein, H 12 SubPcB–Br (SubPc–Br) and UiO-66 are used to obtain the step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction SubPc–Br/UiO-66 for the first time, which is then applied in the photocatalytic oxidation of minocycline. Atomic-level B–O–Zr charge-transfer channels and van der Waals force connections synergistically accelerated the charge transfer at the interface of the SubPc–Br/UiO-66 heterojunction, while the establishment of the B–O–Zr bonds also led to the directional transfer of charge from SubPc–Br to UiO-66. The synergy is the key to improving the photocatalytic activity and stability of SubPc–Br/UiO-66, which is also verified by various characterization methods and theoretical calculations. The minocycline degradation efficiency of supramolecular SubPc–Br/UiO-66 arrays reach 90.9% within 30 min under visible light irradiation. The molecular dynamics simulations indicate that B–O–Zr bonds and van der Waals force contribute significantly to the stability of the SubPc–Br/UiO-66 heterojunction. This work reveals an approach for the rational design of semiconducting MOF-based heterojunctions with improved properties.
