In this study, a series of NCN/BiWO (NCN = N-doped graphitic carbon nitride , BiWO = Bi 2 WO 6 ) were fabricated successfully, which were characterized by XRD, TEM, FTIR, BET, UV–vis spectrometry, XPS and PL. Under visible light irradiation, the optimum mass ratio of 60 % NCN/BiWO could reach 93.1 % removal efficiency of phenol within 5 h, which was about 6.9 times as that pure Bi 2 WO 6 . And the degradation rate constant of 60 % NCN/BiWO (2.6726 min -1 ) was about 18.5 times as that of pure Bi 2 WO 6 (0.1442 min -1 ). According to the result of UV–vis absorption spectra, VB-XPS spectra and photoelectrochemistry performance, the photocatalytic mechanism of 60 % NCN/BiWO was revealed, indicating that the narrow band gap of 60 % NCN/BiWO is the main factor on the high photocatalytic activity . The stable and recyclable properties also were done, showing highly suitable for practical application.

The introduction of metal-organic frameworks into semiconductor photocatalysts is one of the strategies to improve the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs. In this study, UiO-66-NH 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 nano-heterojunction was constructed for the first time by introducing UiO-66-NH 2 into the Bi 2 WO 6 precursor solution. A series of characterizations such as XRD , XPS and FT-IR have indicated that the successful synthesis of the composites and showed that UiO-66-NH 2 and Bi 2 WO 6 are tightly connected and interacted. SEM results showed that the introduction of UiO-66-NH 2 can increase the distance between bismuth tungstate nanosheets and effectively inhibit the agglomeration of Bi 2 WO 6 . The visible light degradation efficiency of 6% UiO-66-NH 2 /Bi 2 WO 6 can reach 99.7%. The improvement of photocatalytic activity could be attributed to the formation of a type II heterojunction in the composite, which effectively promoting the separation of electron and holes.

The suppression of expeditious complexation of photoexcited carriers and the enhancement of light harvesting are two extraordinarily momentous elements for boosting the catalytic activity of synthesized semiconductor photocatalyst. Herein, a sequence of visible-light-induced self-assembled flower-like spherical Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr S-scheme heterojunctions were successfully fabricated by two-step solvothermal process. The fabricated Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr hybrids possessed the splendid capacity to catalyze the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) in water without the addition of surfactant compared to monocomponent photocatalyst. The optimized Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr (FBBH-16) possessed the most prominent photocatalytic activity, acquiring a conspicuous degradation efficiency of 91.97 % ± 1.51 % for BPA after 60 min illumination. The rate constant k (0.04078 ± 0.0009985 min −1 ) of FBBH-16, which was approximately 4.0 and 3.5 times that of bare Bi 2 WO 6 and BiOBr, respectively. Such strengthening mechanism was chiefly ascribed to the establishment of S-scheme heterojunction, which efficaciously impeded the complexation of photoexcited charge pairs and noteworthily heightened the light harvesting. Furthermore, the forceful interfacial interactions between Bi 2 WO 6 and BiOBr afforded much more active sites for BPA removal. The quenching experiments confirmed that ·OH and ·O 2− are the principal active species for BPA degradation over Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr hybrids. Ultimately, two possible photodegradation pathways of BPA over Bi 2 WO 6 /BiOBr heterojunctions are also come up with on the grounds of the identification of intermediate products. This work furnishes fresh insights into the fabrication of highly efficacious and stable bismuth-based S-scheme heterojunctions for treating the actual wastewater by integrating nanostructure and microscopic morphology.

The artificial carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) photoreduction into useful chemicals utilizing solar energy demands the stable photocatalysts with high-efficiency charge separation and effective CO 2 adsorption capacity. For all this, for the first time, Bi 2 WO 6 photocatalysts with atomically thin structure along with hydrophobic and nonpolar surface are successfully designed and prepared using CTAB as assistant. The ultrathin feature with short diffusion distance significantly facilitates the charge separation. The hydrophobic surface, modified by nonpolar long carbon chains of CTA + , boosts both the mass-transfer and adsorption of CO 2 , meanwhile suppressing the H 2 O adsorption. Hence, the prepared photocatalyst exhibits a high-efficiency photocatalytic conversion of CO 2 in H 2 O vapor without co-catalyst due to high CO 2 concentration and sufficient photogenerated carriers. The photocatalytic mechanisms including adsorption concentration and activation process of CO 2 are further revealed by the in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared fourier transform spectra (DRIFTS). As a new feature, linearly adsorbed CO at 2035 cm −1 is found on hydrophobic surface of Bi 2 WO 6 , and the absorbance of CO is critical to the next reaction step for CH 4 generation. This innovation provides a facile avenue for the design of photocatalysts with remarkable CO 2 capture ability to achieve the practical application of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.

Considering that ultraviolet light may cause the denaturation of biomaterials, searching for and engineering innovative and advanced nanomaterials with excellent photoelectrochemical properties under visible light illumination are of great significance in the fundamental understanding and application of photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensors. As a widely applied visible light response material, the applications of Bi2WO6 in PEC fields were restricted because of the rapid recombination of photoinduced electron–hole pairs. In this work, Bi2WO6 functionalized reduced oxide (Bi2WO6–rGO) nanocomposites (NCs) were prepared by a one-step solvothermal method. After optimizing the content of rGO, the Bi2WO6–rGO2.94% NCs displayed enhanced photocurrent intensity (the starting mass ratios of GO to Bi2WO6 = 0.0294), which was nearly 2.7-fold compared to that of pure Bi2WO6 nanoparticles because of the separation of the photoinduced carriers and the enhancement of visible light absorption. Based on the coupling of Pb2+-induced allosteric transition of G-quadruplex DNAzyme and the enzymatic biocatalytic precipitation (BCP), Bi2WO6–rGO2.94% NCs were applied in the construction of a novel PEC sensor for the determination of Pb2+. The as-fabricated PEC sensor exhibited good anti-interference ability and a good linear relationship was obtained between the photocurrent intensity and the logarithm of the Pb2+ concentration over a concentration range from 0.01 to 50 μM and with a detection limit of 3.3 nM (S/N = 3), indicating that Bi2WO6–rGO NCs would be promising materials for PEC sensing.

In this study, a visible-light-driven photocatalyst Bi 2 WO 6 was assembled on fibers by linking of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA) at room temperature. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Acid orange 7 (AO7) under visible light irradiation. Effects of concentration of PDDA in the pretreatment solution on degradation efficiency of RhB and AO7 in the presence of Bi 2 WO 6 coated cotton fabrics were investigated. In addition, washing durability and breaking strength of Bi 2 WO 6 coated cotton fabrics modified with PDDA were examined. The results revealed that Bi 2 WO 6 with irregular shape were successfully coated on the cotton fabric modified with PDDA. Bi 2 WO 6 coated cotton fabric modified with PDDA exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity with degradation efficiency of 97.4% of RhB and 94.5% of AO7, respectively. In addition, Bi 2 WO 6 coating on the cotton fabrics modified with PDDA not only improved washing durability but also enhanced breaking strength of the fabric.

Although photocatalytic degradation is an ideal strategy for cleaning environmental pollution, it remains challenging to construct a highly efficient photocatalytic system by steering the charge flow in a precise manner. In this study, a novel atomic scale g-C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 heterojunction (UTCB) constructed by ultrathin g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets (ug-CN) and monolayer Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheets (m-BWO) was successfully prepared by hydrothermal reaction. The UTCB heterojunctions were characterized by various techniques including XRD, TEM, AFM, BET measurements, UV–vis spectrometry, and XPS. The results indicated that UTCB heterojunctions were assembly of m-BWO on ug-CN and presented high separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. Under visible light irradiation, the optimum molar ratio of ug-CN/m-BWO (1:4, UTCB-25) reached almost 96.1% removal efficiency of IBF within 1 h, which was about 2.7 times as that of pure m-BWO. The photocatalytic mechanisms of UTCB-25 were revealed, suggesting that the synergistic effect of UTCB-25 heterojunction with strong interfacial interaction promoted the photoinduced charge separation. According to the LC–MS/MS, five photodegradation pathways of IBF under visible light irradiation were proposed. This study could open new opportunities for the rational design and a better understanding of atomic scale two dimensions/two dimensions (2D/2D) heterojunctions in environmental or other applications.

The practical application of photocatalytic water splitting is essentially limited by the slow kinetic nature of the water oxidation process. Therefore, it is highly desirable but challenging to explore a low-cost and high-efficiency water oxidation catalyst for the aim of commercialization and industrialization. We herein report the first-time synthesis of a novel and high-efficiency visible-light-driven photocatalyst composed of flower-like Co(CO 3 ) 0.5 (OH)·0.11H 2 O (CCO) nanowires and Bi 2 WO 6 (BWO) nanosheets, i.e. CCO/BWO nanocomposite, via a facile hydrothermal method. Without utilizing any additional cocatalyst, the composite of CCO/BWO in 30% weight ratio exhibits extraordinarily high photoactivity and photostability towards O 2 evolution, achieving an average O 2 generation rate of 953 µmol h −1 g −1 under visible-light irradiation (λ > 420 nm).

Here, we report a simple approach to fabricate 3D hierarchical peony-like Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 hybrid photocatalyst through one-step hydrothermal method with l -leucine as a template. The morphology and structure of the resultant materials were characterized by various analytical methods, such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. The photocatalytic performance of Bi 2 WO 6 and Ag/Bi 2 WO 6 samples was evaluated by degrading organic dye and antibiotic in water under visible light irradiation. A series of results indicated that loaded Ag nanoparticles significantly improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi 2 WO 6 . In addition, the possible mechanism was proposed that the enhanced photocatalytic activity was resulted from the unique configuration of peony-like morphology that favorable for the adsorption of organic compounds and the high Schottky barriers between interface of Ag NPs and Bi 2 WO 6 , which promoted the transfer of photogenerated electrons from Bi 2 WO 6 to Ag NPs. Meanwhile, noble metal Ag can induce surface plasmon resonance leading to the better visible light absorption of Bi 2 WO 6 .

Flower-like Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 hierarchical composites with Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 nanoparticles on Bi 2 WO 6 nanosheet by different Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 contents were synthesized via a facile two-step hydrothermal method . The composite of Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 exhibits higher photocatalytic activity toward Rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light than pristine Bi 2 WO 6 and Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 . Comparatively, 7% Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 /Bi 2 WO 6 showed the highest photocatalytic activity owing to the best separation efficiency of photogenerated charges. The role of the active species in the process of the degradation is evaluated by using different types of active species scavengers which revealed that the holes ( h + ) and hydroxyl radicals ( OH) were the main active species responsible for the photodegradation of RhB. The photocatalytic mechanism is further proposed based on impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the calculated energy bands by Mott-Schottky plot, which unfolds the charge transfer and the active species formed in the photocatalytic process. Furthermore, the as-obtained photocatalysts showed good photocatalytic activity after three recycles.

A new lotus-like Bi 2 WO 6 /Bi 2 S 3 /g-C 3 N 4 composite was synthesized through hydrothermal reaction and physical doping techniques. And the degradation of norfloxacin (NFX) using Bi 2 WO 6 /Bi 2 S 3 /g-C 3 N 4 (BiSW-GCN) photocatalytic material was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that spherical Bi 2 S 3 and flake-like g-C 3 N 4 were closely adhered to the petals of Bi 2 WO 6 , with a uniform distribution of various elements observed in the Raman spectra. These spectra also indicated a reduction in fluorescence intensity and the recombination rate of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Through analysis of the degradation efficiency of NFX with varying ratios of the photocatalytic materials, it was determined that the optimal photocatalytic performance was achieved when Bi 2 S 3 constituted 3 % of the Bi 2 WO 6 content, and the Bi 2 WO 6 /Bi 2 S 3 to g-C 3 N 4 ratio was set at 20:1. The influence of pH value, photocatalyst concentration, and NFX concentration on the degradation rate within the reaction environment was examined. Results showed that the material exhibited its highest efficiency in a neutral environment. With the addition of 1 g/L BiSW-GCN, the degradation rate of an 8 mg/L NFX solution reached 92.4 % within 120 min, and the total organic carbon (TOC) removal rate achieved 41.1 %. The kinetic constant for BiSW-GCN was calculated to be 0.0206 min −1 . A trapping experiment demonstrated that the primary toxicity of the photocatalytic process was due to hole action, followed by photoelectron generation. Based on the inhibitory effect of NFX on E. coli , the toxicity of the degraded NFX solution was found to be absent when analyzed using the product intermediate toxicity assessment method, thus confirming the potential for the by-product to be non-toxic.

A nitrogen-deficient g-C 3 N 4 -BiOBr-Bi 2 WO 6 /PVDF composite ultrafiltration membrane with high-efficiency retention and degradation capabilities for various dyes and antibiotics was prepared using a simple in situ deposition combined with phase inversion method. Under normal pressure, the membrane achieved a retention rate of over 95 % for multiple dyes, featured numerous hydrophilic sites, and demonstrated an average pollutant flux of 147.6L·m −2 ·h −1 . In a simulated visible solar light flow-circulation device, the composite membrane exhibited excellent efficiency and final degradation performance, achieving a degradation rate of 97.7 % for RhB within 1 h and a final degradation rate of 99.6 %. DFT calculations provided evidence for the potential distribution and interaction forces between nanoparticles and PVDF molecules, supporting the observed results. The in situ synthesized BiOBr nanomaterials grow and embed within the membrane, forming heterojunctions with an internal electric field alongside other materials. The incorporation of heterojunction materials improves the surface and internal physical structure of the PVDF membrane, endowing it with excellent photocatalytic degradation performance, enhanced hydrophilicity, and improved retention capabilities. Additionally, the composite membrane exhibits outstanding self-cleaning properties. This work provides a broad-spectrum and efficient solution for water pollution treatment.
