Fenton-like degradation of three representative s -triazine herbicides, atrazine (Atz), ametryn (Amt), and prometon (Prt), was studied in this work. The effects of initial H 2 O 2 concentration as well as the Fe 3+ concentration on the degradation rate of the herbicides were investigated. The Fenton-like degradation of the s -triazine herbicides fitted well with pseudo first-order kinetics. LCMS-IT-TOF was used to analyze possible degradation intermediates for the three herbicides. Eleven, eleven, and twelve intermediates were identified for Atz, Amt, and Prt, respectively. According to the identified intermediates, the Fenton-like degradation pathways of Atz, Amt, and Prt were proposed, which were suggested to follow two main routes, alkylic oxidation and hydroxylation substitution. The enhanced electron-donating ability of the s -triazine herbicide benefits both degradation reaction routes. Therefore, Amt gives the highest reactivity, while Atz exhibits the highest resistance among three herbicides to the Fenton-like reaction.

Water-soluble Cu-In-Zn-S quantum dots (CIZS QDs) with orange fluorescence have been synthesized with a glutathione (GSH) as stabilizer via facile a one-step hydrothermal method. The optimal reaction conditions of CIZS QDs including temperature, time, pH, and the molar ratios of precursors were studied. TEM results indicate that the aqueous-dispersible CIZS QDs are quasi-spherical, and the average diameters are 3.76 nm with excellent fluorescent stability. Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of CIZS QDs was investigated by the microcalorimetry combining with TEM and the IC50 was 10.2 μM. CIZS QDs showed a promising perspective in applications such as a fluorescent probe for bioimaging and biolabeling due to the low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility. Moreover, the CIZS QDs can distinguish Pb2+ ion from other ions, offering great potentials in lead ion determination in drinking water. According to the results of UV, XRD, FL, PL, and ITC methods, the mechanism of CIZS QDs-Pb2+ assay is due to hydrogen bonding or van der Waals forces in the formation of Pb2+ and CIZS QDs.

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.

Photocatalytic technology is of great significance in environmental purification due to its eco-friendly and cost-effective operations. However, low charge-transfer efficiency restricts the photocatalytic activity of the catalyst. Herein, we report Cs 2 SnBr 6 /C 3 N 4 composite catalysts that exhibit a robust interfacial electron exchange thereby enhancing photocatalytic nitric oxide (NO) oxidation . A comprehensive study has demonstrated the S-scheme electron transfer mechanism. Benefiting from the interfacial internal electric field , the C-Br bond serves as a direct electron transfer channel, resulting in enhanced charge separation. Furthermore, the S-scheme heterojunction effectively traps high redox potential electrons and holes, leading to the production of abundant reactive oxygen radicals that enhance photocatalytic NO abatement. The NO removal rate of the Cs 2 SnBr 6 /C 3 N 4 heterogeneous system can reach 86.8 %, which is approximately 3-fold and 18-fold that of pristine C 3 N 4 and Cs 2 SnBr 6 , respectively. The comprehensive understanding of the electron transfer between heterojunction atomic interfaces will provide a novel perspective on efficient environmental photocatalysis .

Developing effective photocatalysts to achieve stable and efficient solar-induced hydrogen production remains a significant challenge due to rapid photocarrier recombination and sluggish hydrogen evolution kinetics. Here, a multi-interfacial engineering strategy involving the decoration of metallic Ni 3 C onto CaTiO 3 /Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S was proposed to create an S-scheme/Schottky hybrid heterostructure with multiple carrier transport paths for effective photocatalytic H 2 production. Exploiting the synergy between S-scheme heterojunction and Schottky barrier, the engineered ternary CaTiO 3 /Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Ni 3 C hybrid heterojunction exhibits outstanding photostability and significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution activity of 79.1 mmol g -1 h −1 , which was about 4.55, 3.22 and 2.59 times greater than Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S, Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S/Ni 3 C, and CaTiO 3 /Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S, respectively. By creating an S-scheme heterojunction between CaTiO 3 and Mn 0.5 Cd 0.5 S, accompanied by a robust internal electric field (IEF), spatial charge separation can be effectively accelerated while ensuring the simultaneous preservation of highly active electrons and holes. Meanwhile, Ni 3 C nanoparticles, acting as a Schottky-junction H 2 generation cocatalyst, can efficiently trap the photoinduced electrons to establish multiple charge transfer channels and supply ample active sites for photoreduction reaction, thereby further optimizing the hydrogen generation kinetics. The integration of a Schottky barrier and S-scheme heterojunction in this research is expected to offer new perspectives for designing other highly effective hybrid catalysts for solar-to-hydrogen fuel conversion.

The construction of heterojunction for photocatalysis has garnered much research interest. Herein, we report the successful fabrication of a ternary dual S-scheme ZnO/ZnS/In 2 S 3 heterojunction with a higher photocatalytic capacity via a hydrothermal method . Specifically, the optimized ternary heterojunction ZSI0.35 sample achieves the 100 % photodegradation efficiency of RhB (10 mg/L, 50 mL) within 10 min, approximately 17 and 8 times higher than pure ZnO and ZnO/ZnS binary heterojunction, respectively. Further characterization results confirm the dual S-scheme heterojunction structure in the fabricated ZnO/ZnS/In 2 S 3 ternary heterojunction, and the improvement of photocatalytic properties can be attributed to the enhanced Brunauer Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, the improved redox capacity of the photocatalyst, and the quick charge transfer. Additionally, the possible photocatalytic mechanism is discussed according to the measurements. This work provides an efficient strategy of promising heterojunction photocatalysts for photocatalytic environmental remediation.

Proper interface and band alignment always play essential roles in the separation of photoexcited charge of photocatalysts. In this work, we prepared a homodispersed S-scheme carbon nitride homojunction with local electron structure difference by a facile pre-doping and two-step calcination approach. Boron doping into heptazine created extra acceptor impurity, and phosphorus doping into heptazine created extra donor impurity, which eventually modulated the electronic structure of carbon nitride. As heptazines with different element doping were integrated into carbon nitride by recalcination, B–CN and P–CN formed a homodispersed homojunction and thus produced a rich interface. Meanwhile, caused by Fermi energy levels equilibrium, the band bending constructed an S-scheme homojunction, which stimulated photogenerated electrons to transfer from CB of B–CN to VB of P–CN. The homodispersed S-scheme homojunction structure led to efficient suppression of recombination of photoinduced charge and retained stronger redox charge. Consequently, the photocatalytic performance was dramatically boosted to 2620 μmol g −1 from 60 μmol g −1 of pure CN in 4-h hydrogen evolution from water. This novel method for electron structure engineering helped to provide a new strategy for designing homojunction photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performance.

The synergistic effect of the electrochemical double-layer and pseudocapacitance electrode materials has been extensively used to improve the performance of composite electrodes for supercapacitors (SCs). However, the energy density of SCs is still unsatisfactory for practical utilization. Herein, a C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S electrode is ingeniously devised through coupling the interior of 0D/2D carbon-modified NiCo2O4 and the external sheath of Ni–Co–S nanosheets. The 0D carbon quantum dot doping can effectively avoid the agglomeration of NiCo2O4 nanoparticles and improve the electronic conductivity. 2D carbon as the intermediate layer can ameliorate the physical/chemical stability of the electrode. Ni–Co–S nanosheets can improve the area-specific capacitance of the electrode and thus enhance the energy density of the device. As expected, the C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S electrode delivers an outstanding specific capacitance of 2396 F g–1 (7.9 F cm–2) at 3 A g–1 and excellent cycling stability (92% after 10 000 cycles). Furthermore, a quasi-solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) using C-NiCo2O4/C@Ni–Co–S as positive electrode and active carbon (AC) as negative electrode exhibits a high energy density of 95 Wh kg–1 at 0.9 kW kg–1 and an excellent cycle performance. Our work reveals that this reasonable structure design is very effective for achieving a high-performance positive electrode for practical SC applications.

To suppress shuttling effect and improve electrochemical performance of the sulfur cathode for lithium-sulfur batteries, core-shell structured MoS 2 @S spherical cathode has been synthesized through a chemical route using MnCO 3 as template. The MoS 2 shells consist of MoS 2 nanosheets . For comparison, MoS 2 /S cathode has also been synthesized through melting and diffusion of sulfur to commercial MoS 2 powders. The electrochemical performance of the MoS 2 @S and MoS 2 /S cathodes have been evaluated using cyclic voltammetry , discharge/charge cycling, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy coupled with impedance fitting. The electrochemical performance of the MoS 2 @S spherical cathode has been much improved compared with that of MoS 2 /S. The capacity of the MoS 2 @S spheres can reach 1185.7 mA h g −1 at 0.2 C and 955.1 mA h g −1 at 1 C with initial-cycle coulombic efficiency of 90%. The capacity fading of each cycle is 0.1% during 200 lithiation/delithiation cycles. The MoS 2 @S spherical cathode with high cyclic capacity and stability is promising cathode candidate for lithium-sulfur batteries.

In this study, we developed an in-situ deposition method to load small-sized AgI nanoparticles as an oxidative photocatalyst (OP) onto phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) co-doped two-dimensional porous g-C 3 N 4 (PK-CN-N) as a reductive photocatalyst (RP), forming an S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst AgI/PK-CN-N. PK-CN-N achieved morphology control and element doping, leading to surface functionalization and heterostructure formation for the AgI/PK-CN-N photocatalyst. Notably, the 50AgI/PK-CN-N composite demonstrated an approximately 95 % removal efficiency for RhB within 30 minutes, 17.6 times higher than pure g-C 3 N 4 , surpassing most reported g-C 3 N 4 -based photocatalysts. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency is attributed to the surface modification strategy and heterostructure formation of g-C 3 N 4 , which broadens the visible light response range, increases the number of active sites, improves the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and enhances REDOX capabilities. The band structure of the composite was elucidated through Mott-Schottky analysis and UV–vis DRS. The formation of the AgI/PK-CN-N S-scheme heterojunction and its charge transfer mechanism was confirmed through XPS, band structure analysis, KPFM, and EPR spectroscopy. Experimental data confirmed the presence of a strong and effective interface electric field between the two semiconductors, leading to band bending and accelerated charge separation. Additionally, the introduction of small-sized AgI semiconductors enhanced the exposure of the coupling interface, further improving catalytic performance. The reusability and lifespan of the catalyst were also analyzed, showing that after four cycles, the photocatalytic activity remained above 92 %.

Due to the intrinsic chemically inert CO2 with the dissociation energy of C═O bond as high as 750 kJ mol–1, low efficiency and selectivity have become the most significant restraints for the practical application of photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Renewing the electronic structure of adsorbed CO2 on the catalyst surface through a rational catalyst design is crucial to achieving performance improvement. Herein, we prepared ZnIn2S4 and Cu-substituted ZnIn2S4 containing both Lewis acid and Lewis base sites as a model system for investigating the activation of CO2 by M–S chemical bonds (M represents a metal site). The Cu–S chemical bond can effectively activate CO2 as a vital electron channel and lower the Gibbs free energy for generating the essential intermediate *COOH. Besides, the Cu0.7-ZnIn2S4 sample displays 74.8% selectivity for reducing CO2 to CO with a rate of 47.2 μmol g–1 h–1, roughly 7.14 times that of ZnIn2S4.

The construction of heterojunction is an effective way to promote the photoinduced charge carrier separation in spatial, thus accelerating the photocatalytic reaction. However, the regulation of interface properties, as a crucial factor in affecting the charge carrier diffusion process, still remains a significant challenge. In this work, BiOBr/TpBD-COF heterojunction was successfully constructed via a novel phase transformation strategy. Specifically, perovskite Cs 3 Bi 2 Br 9 was first synthesized and then in-situ transformed into BiOBr during the preparation of TpBD-COF procedure, thus obtaining BiOBr/TpBD-COF heterojunction with favorable interface. According to the in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) characterization and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis, the photogenerated electrons with weak reduction power transfer from BiOBr to TpBD-COF driven by the internal electric field under irradiation, conforming S-scheme charge transfer mode. As a result, the photogenerated electrons and holes with strong redox abilities are spatially located on TpBD-COF and BiOBr surface, respectively, endowing the strong driving force toward the water splitting reaction. The optimized 10%BiOBr/TpBD-COF displayed remarkably enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate (16.17 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 ) in comparison with TpBD-COF (5.18 mmol·g −1 ·h −1 ). This study will provide some novel inspirations for developing efficient COF-based S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts.
