Ti 3 C 2 quantum dots (TQDs) derived from ultrathin few-layered Ti 3 C 2 nanosheets were served as the low-cost solid electron mediator of photogenerated carriers at the semiconductor interfaces, which could greatly reserve the reductive and oxidative reaction sites on the surface of heterojunctions and accelerate the reduction and oxidation reactions. The all-solid-state TQDs-bridge WO 3 /TQDs/In 2 S 3 Z-scheme photocatalysts exhibited extremely promoted photocatalytic reduction of Cr (VI) and photocatalytic oxidation of Bisphenol A (BPA) under visible light irradiation, which are 4 and 3 times higher than that of WO 3 /In 2 S 3 heterojunctions, respectively. The favorable photocatalytic activities of WO 3 /TQDs/In 2 S 3 should attribute to the effective electron transfer and charges separation with introduction of TQDs as the electron mediators in the Z-scheme system. In addition, the stability of WO 3 /TQDs/In 2 S 3 was investigated and the possible mechanisms during photo-reduction of Cr (VI) and photo-oxidation of BPA were proposed. This work provides a new strategy for fabrication of all-solid-state Z-scheme heterojunctions using Ti 3 C 2 quantum dots as the low-cost solid electron mediator for efficient environmental remediation.

Inorganic semiconductors prepared from MOFs as sacrificial precursors are promising photocatalytic materials. In this work, the direct Z -scheme MoS 2 /NH 2 -MIL-68(In)-derived In 2 S 3 (MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 ) heterojunction composites have been synthesized by sulfidation treatment of MoS 2 /NH 2 -MIL-68(In) (MoS 2 /NM68) composites. Morphological and crystal structural results confirmed that MoS 2 was uniformly dispersed in In 2 S 3 . According to the reduction for Cr(VI) experimental results, the photocatalytic performance of MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 heterojunction composite under visible light irradiation is significantly better than that of pristine MoS 2 and In 2 S 3 , respectively. In addition, the photocatalytic activities of the MoS 2 /In 2 S 3 (II) at different pH and high concentrations of Cr(VI) were also investigated. This paper presents a novel approach to the construction of heterojunction photocatalytic materials using MOFs as sacrificial precursors.

The construction of a tightly contacted heterojunction consisting of multi-components is proven to be one of the effective strategies to promote the photogenerated charges separation and to develop high-efficient photocatalysts in hydrogen evolution . Herein, a ternary hollow heterostructure of ZnS/ZIS/In 2 S 3 has been fabricated by using a binary MOF@MOF (ZIF-8@MIL-68(In)) as the precursor, and an in-situ sulfurization of ZIF-8@MIL-68(In) is controlled to optimize the photocatalytic performances. The resulting samples are signed as Z@M- t , where the t is pointed to the sulfurization time being varied from 4 h to 48 h. It’s shown that the hierarchical and hollow architecture is formed for Z@M- t , and with the reinforced light harvest ability in both UV and visible light regions. In the subsequent visible-light-induced photocatalytic hydrogen generation, the optimized Z@M-24 manifests significantly improved hydrogen evolution rate of 607.34 μmol g -1 h −1 , which values are evidently higher than that by the single MOF and binary ZIF-8@MIL-68(In) heterostructure. The electrochemical analyses and the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrum were analyzed to clarify the charge transfer routes and the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism, in which the contribution of each metal sulfide is also discussed. Finally, the good photocatalytic stability and reusability of Z@M-24 heterostructure are also represented, which define the structure superior brought by the effective heterojunction based on the in-situ sulfurization strategy of binary ZIF-8@MIL-68(In), and determine their prospect applications in the efficient H 2 production under visible light irradiation.

Photocatalytic elimination of highly toxic Cr 2 O 7 2− and stubborn reactive dyes requires photocatalysts to exhibit both robust oxidation and reduction capabilities. However, most single MOFs must utilize ultraviolet light and are incapable of concurrently providing sufficiently negative LUCO and positive HUCO potentials. In the current contribution, a water-stable In-MOF featured by typical n-type semiconductor was assembled and subsequently integrated with the in-situ growth In 2 S 3 to construct a novel In 2 S 3 /In-MOF binary heterojunction. Notably, the intrinsic LUCO (−0.43 eV, vs. NHE) and HOCO (2.77 eV, vs. NHE) energy levels of deployed In-MOF exhibit a suitable band dislocation with In 2 S 3 's CB (−0.85 eV, vs. NHE) and VB (1.43 eV, vs. NHE) potentials. And this integration facilitates the establishment of an S-Scheme carrier transfer mechanism, effectively inhibiting carriers recombination and ensuring the efficient utilization of the robust redox abilities offered by In 2 S 3 's CB and In-MOF's HOCO. Under the driven of a low-energy xenon lamp, In 2 S 3 /In-MOF's optical-electrical properties involving photosensitiveness, photocurrent intensity and interface resistance have been notably improved. M55, with a feed mass ratio of In-MOF to In 2 S 3 at 5 : 5, achieved a 99.9 % reduction efficiency for Cr(VI) within 80 min, degradation efficiencies of 77 % and 82 % for reactive dyes RB21 and RR2 within 12 h, respectively. Its reaction kinetics have increased by 8.79, 17.82 and 14.55 times compared to the pristine In-MOF, and by 1.66, 4.60 and 17.57 times relative to pure In 2 S 3 . This contribution offers a viable avenue for designing novel MOFs-based photocatalysts, which possess robust reducing and oxidizing capabilities, to address some intractable water pollution issues.

Herein, noble-metal-free In 2 S 3 -WC and In 2 S 3 -based photocatalysts with dual cocatalysts of flower-like MoS 2 and bulk WC were synthesized through a facile solvothermal reaction. Electrochemical results indicated WC increased the interface conductance of photocatalyst and boosted the transference of photogenerated carriers. The optimal In 2 S 3 -WC show a hydrogen production rate of 128.11 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 , which is around 6 times higher than In 2 S 3 -1%Pt (20.73 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 ). The above results demonstrate commercial WC has a crucial impact of replacing precious metal and separating carriers. Morphology characterization exhibited hydrangea In 2 S 3 and flower-like MoS 2 were attached to bulk WC. Gratifyingly, photocurrent, impedance and photoluminescence results demonstrated MoS 2 further effectively separated the photogenerated carriers. Remarkably, the higher hydrogen generation rate of 390.52 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 obtained by the optimal ternary In 2 S 3 -WC-MoS 2 composite was around 3 and 18 times higher than the optimal In 2 S 3 -WC and In 2 S 3 -1% Pt. The photocatalytic results demonstrated that "W-Mo auxiliary pairs" was a great efficient synergistic cocatalyst for In 2 S 3 to increase active sites and improve e - -h + pairs separation for H 2 generation. Furthermore, a probable reaction mechanism of the enhanced photocatalytic H 2 generation was also proposed. This presented research provides an effective concept to design novel and efficient noble-metal-free photocatalyst with "W-Mo auxiliary pairs" for prominent H 2 generation activity.

Here, we synthesized a series of noble-metal-free MoP/In 2 S 3 Schottky heterojunction photocatalysts through two-step synthesis. Morphology characterization revealed that In 2 S 3 was deposited on metal-like MoP. The electrochemical experiment, photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved transient PL results verify that electron-hole pairs separation efficiency of MoP-In 2 S 3 composites has been immensely elevated compared to pristine In 2 S 3 . The effective separation of photocarriers is attributed to the appropriate Schottky energy barrier, band bending and Fermi level rearrangement between MoP and In 2 S 3 . Furthermore, the X-ray photoelectron spectra confirmed that electrons transferred from In 2 S 3 to MoP in Schottky heterojunction. Importantly, MoP possesses active sites for H 2 generation resulting from nearly zero binding for H atoms and low onset overpotentials. As expected, the 25 %MoP-In 2 S 3 composites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (481.73 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 ), which was about 23 times than In 2 S 3 -1 %Pt (20.73 μmol·h −1 ·g −1 ). Hence, the enhanced photocatalytic performance was ascribed to not only the formed Schottky heterojunction leading to better charge separation, but also MoP as the active sites accelerated the surface proton reduction reaction. The research furnishes a thought that suitable semiconductors and metal-like were selected to construct high performance and low-cost Schottky heterojunction with efficient charge separation and active sites for resultful photocatalytic H 2 generation.

Constructing S-scheme heterojunctions on two-dimensional (2D) conductive metal–organic frameworks (c-MOFs), which possess high specific surface area, abundant active sites, and excellent electrical conductivity, is widely regarded as an effective strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance. In this study, an S-type heterojunction was fabricated by coupling a 2D c-MOF, Cu3(HHTP)2, with In2S3 to synergistically improve photocatalytic activity. Unlike conventional flake-like heterojunctions that often block the vertical pore channels of c-MOFs, we synthesized rod-like Cu3(HHTP)2/In2S3 composites through controlled morphological engineering. Experimental results demonstrate the resulting nonplanar interfacial contact effectively preserves the intrinsic pore architecture while fully exposing the dz2 orbitals of Cu active centers. Structural analyses reveal that the rod-like Cu3(HHTP)2 interacts with In2S3 predominantly via In–O bonds formed on its lateral facets, thereby maintaining the inherent porosity and exposing a large number of active sites. Consequently, the CO2 adsorption capacity reaches 13.44 cm3·g–1, 2.18 times higher than that of the flake-like Cu3(HHTP)2/In2S3 composite that In2S3 is bonded via Cu–S bonds on the surface. Moreover, the incorporation of In2S3 enhances interlayer charge transport within the rod-like structure. As a result of these synergistic effects, the electron consumption rate of the rod-like heterojunction is 1.73 times greater than that of its flake-like counterpart. The unique architecture not only retains the in-plane charge transport advantages derived from d-π conjugation in c-MOFs but also introduces interlayer electron-bridging pathways through In2S3, leading to significantly improved electrical conductivity and charge separation efficiency.

The specific energies and energy densities of lithium–sulfur (Li-S) batteries are influenced by various cell parameters, including the sulfur loading, the sulfur weight percentage in the cathode, and the electrolyte/sulfur ratio. An In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 @rGO heterostructure was obtained by growing indium sulfide nanoparticles on the surface of bismuth sulfide nanoflowers in a graphene oxide (GO) solution via a one-step solvothermal approach. This structure was introduced as a modified separator/dual-layer sulfur cathode for Li-S batteries. The Bi 2 S 3 /In 2 S 3 heterointerfaces act as active sites to speed up interfacial electron transfer, along with the entrapment, diffusion, and transformation of lithium polysulfides. A Li-S cell containing a dual-layer sulfur cathode (thin layer of In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 @rGO sandwiched between two thick layers of sulfur) and coupled with an In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 @rGO-coated separator suppressed the polysulfide shuttle effect. The cell based on the dual-layer sulfur cathode technology and operated at a current rate of 0.3C achieved a high capacity (7.1 mAh cm −2 ) after the 200th cycle, giving an electrolyte/sulfur ratio (10 µL mg −1 ) under a high sulfur loading (11.53 mg cm −2 ). These results demonstrate the unique nature of the dual-layer sulfur cathode technique, which can yield high energy density Li-S batteries with high sulfur loadings and low electrolyte/sulfur ratios.
