Rapid charge separation and transfer is the key scientific problem in photocatalysis. The construction of S-scheme heterojunction is one of the effective strategies to promote charge separation and maintain the strong redox properties. Herein, the NiO, K0.2WO3, and NiWO4ternary double S-scheme K0.2WO3/NiO/NiWO4heterojunction (W/NiO) was created by a one-step molten salt method. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, photoelectrochemistry tests, and other analyses revealed that the double S-scheme heterostructure broadened the spectral response range of NiO and promoted its separation of photocarriers. Compared with pristine NiO, the modified double S-scheme heterojunction enhanced the surface adsorption of water molecules and the accumulation of intermediate product of HCOO−, and optimized the CO2reduction system, realizing the improved CO yield of 373 μmol·g−1·h−1in Ru(byp)32+/ethanolamine of CO2reduction system. This study indicates that double S-scheme heterojunction could facilitate efficient photogenerated charge transfer and separation, thereby achieving high activity and selectivity for CO2photoreduction. Our work provides a reference for the one-step construction of double S-scheme heterojunction.

As a sustainable technology that can be utilized for degrading organic pollutants, photocatalysis becomes more and more important in the environment pollution control. One crucial factor that influences the degradation process is the design of photocatalyst. In this study, we utilized a simple hydrothermal method, liquid exfoliation and mechanical mixture to synthesize a novel S-scheme heterojunction based on BiPO 4 /CdPSe 3 . It was found that the optimal molar ratio BiPO 4 : CdPSe 3 = 2: 1 (noted as B 2 C) gave rise to an efficient removal of rhodamine B up to 97.5 % after 30 min dark reaction and 60 min light exposure. This composite also possesses the degradation capacity for other antibiotics and inorganic pollutant. The capture experiments showed that superoxide radicals played the dominant role in the degradation process. Besides, hydroxyl radicals and holes were also important active species. The high photocatalytic degradation performance of B 2 C could be attributed to the increased specific surface area with more active sites, enhanced light absorption in the visible region, and, more importantly, the special S-scheme heterostructure for high photogenerated charge carrier separation, synergistically improved the photocatalyst degradation efficiency. This work provides a new perspective for designing high-efficient photocatalysts applicable in multiple organic and inorganic pollutants degradation.

The synergy between surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) and heterojunction engineering holds promising potential for substantially enhancing photoelectric conversion efficiency through the optimization of photogenerated charge carrier transport. Herein, novel WO 3 -OVs@Bi 2 MoO 6 S-scheme heterostructures are synthesized via a simple route for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) using visible light. The S-scheme charge transfer mode markedly enhances the spatial separation and preservation of high-energy electrons/holes on Bi 2 MoO 6 (reduction) and WO 3 -OVs (oxidation), consequently providing WO 3 -OVs@Bi 2 MoO 6 photocatalysts with an improved redox capability. The optimal WO 3 -OVs@Bi 2 MoO 6 heterojunction demonstrates enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline, exhibiting 4.86-fold and 4.17-fold higher efficiency compared to WO 3 -OVs and Bi 2 MoO 6 , respectively, with superior stability and reusability. Confirmation of the existence of the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism and oxygen vacancies (OVs) is achieved through a combination of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), substantiating the enhancement of charge separation and redox capability. Specifically, the presence of oxygen vacancies (OVs) on the surface of WO 3 nanofibers results in a reduction of the band gap energy due to the defect levels, consequently promoting increased electron conduction. Furthermore, the abundance of oxygen vacancies (OVs) expands the photo response range and facilitates charge transfer at the interface. This research opens new avenues for the successful photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) by integrating hierarchical S-scheme heterojunction design and cutting-edge defect engineering in photocatalytic heterojunctions.

Heterojunction photocatalysis has been widely studied as a means of efficiently converting solar energy to chemicals. However, the major challenge in developing high-performing heterojunction photocatalytic systems lies in achieving efficient transfer of electrons between the components. Herein, a novel S-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was developed by combining BaTi 2 O5 nanorods with g-C 3 N 4 lamellae. The preferential deposition of Pt nanoparticles as cocatalyst via the one-step impregnation-reduction method on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets with enhanced interfacial contact and strong electronic interaction has been proved essential for the photocatalytic performance. The developed Pti mp /20BaTi 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 photocatalyst delivers the optimal hydrogen production rate of 2587 µmol g −1 h −1 with high stability after cycles. Photoelectrochemical analysis and theoretical calculation suggest that the formation of BaTi 2 O 5 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction results in the staggered band alignment and improved charge carrier dynamics. This work highlights the importance and feasibility of promoting photocatalysis by a new S-scheme heterojunction with viable cocatalysts.

The mycelium of Aspergillus oryzae WZ007 was successfully developed to kinetic resolution of ( R , S )-ethyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanoate (( R , S )-EHPP) for production of ( R )-ethyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanoate (( R )-EHPP). The key biocatalytic process parameters (pH, temperature, rotation speed and substrate concentration) were optimized. Under the optimum conditions, the optical purity of ( R )-EHPP was improved up to >99% when the conversion was above 49%. A. oryzae WZ007 whole-cell lipase exhibited high reaction capacity, enantioselectivity and good reusability. The tolerable substrate concentration was 0.5 mol/L, and dry mycelium of A. oryzae WZ007 maintains over 80% of its initial activity after eight repeating cycles. Therefore the enzymatic preparation of ( R )-EHPP route was suitable for industrial application.

Solar-driven activation of molecular oxygen (O 2 ) offers an appealing strategy to realize aerobic oxidation catalysis at room temperature, while the efficiency of photocatalytic O 2 activation is severely limited by lacking O 2 adsorption sites and poor carrier utilization. Herein, an efficient Ni 2 P/Bi 3 O 4 Br-OVs heterojunction is firstly proposed to overcome the limitation by the dual-site design of oxygen vacancies (OVs) and on Ni 2 P cocatalyst. By the joint observations from spectroscopic measurements and theoretical simulations, the introduction of OVs and Ni 2 P on Bi 3 O 4 Br nanosheets can not only optimize the light absorption, facilitate the separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carrier through the S-scheme mechanism, but also provide active sites for effective adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules, thereby contributing to highly efficient generation of •O 2 − radicals. Benefiting from the more oxidative active species of •O 2 − and h + , the Ni 2 P/Bi 3 O 4 Br-OVs photocatalyst achieves near-unity conversion rate and selectivity in aerobic oxidation of sulfide to sulfoxide, and it also exhibits outstanding photoactivity in the aerobic degradation of phenolic pollutants under visible light. This study showcases a feasible O 2 activation approach by defect and heterojunction engineering, and provides a new perspective for designing high-performance photocatalysts in the field of aerobic oxidation catalysis.

Photocatalytic degradation plays a crucial role in wastewater treatment, and the key to achieving high efficiency is to develop photocatalytic systems that possess excellent light absorption, carrier separation efficiency, and surface-active sites. Among various photocatalytic systems, S-type heterojunctions have shown remarkable potential for efficient degradation. This work delves into the construction of S-type heterojunctions of ternary indium metal sulfide and bismuth ferrite nanofibers with the introduction of sulfur vacancy defects and morphology modifications to enhance the photocatalytic degradation performance. Through the impregnation method, BiFeO3/ZnIn2S4heterojunction materials were synthesized and optimized. The 30% BiFeO3/ZnIn2S4heterojunction exhibited superior photocatalytic performance with higher sulfur vacancy concentration than ZnIn2S4. The in-situ XPS results demonstrate that the electrons between ZnIn2S4and BFO are transferred via the S-Scheme, and after modification, ZnIn2S4has a more favorable surface morphology for electron transport, and its flower-like structure interacts with the nanofibers of BFO, which has a further enhancement of the reaction efficiency for degrading pollutants. This exceptional material demonstrated a remarkable 99% degradation of Evans blue within 45 min and a significant 68% degradation of ciprofloxacin within 90 min. This work provides a feasible idea for developing photocatalysts to deal with the problem of polluted water resources under practical conditions.

The L -band and S-band electromagnetic waves are widely utilized in radar and satellite communications. This paper reports the successful synthesis of 85.8% content Ba 3 Co 2 Fe 24 O 41 (Co 2 Z) at a relatively low temperature of 1150 °C using the solid-phase method with BaFe 12 O 19 (BaM) and Ba 2 Co 2 Fe 12 O 22 (Co 2 Y) as precursors. The Co 2 Z samples were confirmed to have been successfully synthesized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) spectra. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that the sintered samples exhibited large grains (>10 µm). Vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM) data indicated that the synthesized Co 2 Z samples possessed distinct soft magnetic properties . X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that the Fe 3+ content decreased with the increase in synthesis temperature. The samples synthesized at 1110 °C − 1280 °C had a permeability of 10–20, a cut-off frequency of approximately 1 GHz, and a dielectric constant of 10–30. When the thickness of the sample synthesized at 1150 °C was 3.9 mm, the frequency range of the reflection loss (RL)< −10 dB was 2.55 GHz (0.98–3.53 GHz), with 1.77 GHz as the center frequency, and RLmin was − 57.8 dB. This observation indicates that the effective absorption bandwidth of the samples covers the entire L and S bands, which significantly satisfies practical applications within the military and civilian sectors.

In this study, AgBr/Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 /Bi 2 Sn 2 O 7 (ABr/BTO/BSO) composites were successfully synthesized to facilitate multi-channel fast charge transfer. This directs the charge carriers to travel along multichannel pathways and suppresses carrier recombination. The mechanisms underlying charge transfer in the dual S-scheme heterojunction composites were elucidated using density functional theory (DFT) and in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS). Furthermore, electron spin resonance (ESR) and burst experiments verified h + , ·O 2 - , and ·OH as the primary active species in the catalytic process. The ABr/BTO/BSO composites demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic redox capabilities, completely degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and achieving degradation rates of 77.21% for tetracycline (TC) and 81.04% for Cr (VI). Both experimental and theoretical analyses confirmed the intrinsic efficacy of photo-induced electron movement within the composites. This research introduces innovative design concepts and strategies for the advanced exploration of electron channel transfer in ABr/BTO/BSO ternary composites and the development of novel composite photocatalytic systems.

Construction of S-scheme heterojunctions has been regarded as an appealing strategy to explore efficient photocatalysts for artificial photosynthesis. Herein, a unique 0D/1D S-scheme heterojunction of CsPbBr 3 /AgBr (CPB/AgBr) was developed by assembling CsPbBr 3 nanocrystals (NCs) onto AgBr nanorods. The effective S-scheme electron transfer between CsPbBr 3 and AgBr boosted charge separation while also maintained the strongly reductive electrons for CO 2 reduction, as proved by electron spin resonance (ESR), steady state photoluminescence (PL), time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL), etc. As a consequence, The CPB/AgBr heterojunction achieved remarkable photocatalytic performance in CO 2 reduction, with a high electron consumption rate (R electron ) of 141.4 μmol g −1 h −1 , which was 3.0 times that of pristine CsPbBr 3 and 1.65 times that of AgBr, respectively. The current work presents a novel lead halide perovskite (PVK) based S-scheme heterojunction, which is expected to provide some insights into the development of new efficient photocatalysts based on PVKs for solar fuel applications.

High-efficiency photoluminescence quaternary hexagon Zn–Cu–In–S (ZCIS) nanoplatelets (NPls) have been synthesized by a two-step cation exchange method, which starts with the In2S3 NPls followed by the addition of Cu and Zn. It is the first time that In2S3 NPls are used as templates to synthesize ZCIS NPls. In this paper, the reaction temperature of In2S3 is essential for the formation of NPls. The photoluminescence wavelength of NPls can be tuned by adjusting the temperature of Cu addition. To enhance the stability of the resulting NPls and to improve their optical properties, we introduced Zn2+ and obtained ZCIS NPls by cation exchange on the surface. It is worth noting that the obtained ZCIS NPls show a shorter fluorescence lifetime than other ternary copper sulfide-based NPls. This work provides a new way to synthesize high-efficiency, nontoxic, and no byproduct ZCIS NPls.

Photocatalytic hydrogen peroxide production offers a greener alternative, but its efficiency is limited by high carrier recombination. Covalent organic frameworks, with their highly ordered structures and tunable properties, are promising photocatalysts. However, their application in H 2 O 2 production has been constrained by the lack of effective strategies to enhance catalytic activity. In this study, BiOCl/COF (TFPB-BPY) S-scheme heterojunctions were prepared via a simple in-situ growth method. The heterojunction exploits the nitrogen-rich architecture and charge transport of the COF, combined with the broad light absorption and internal electric field of BiOCl. This synergy enables superior visible light absorption, efficient charge separation, and suppressed recombination. Mechanistic studies confirmed the S-scheme mechanism as the key to its enhanced performance. This work provides a scalable and eco-friendly strategy for improving COF-based photocatalysts through S-scheme heterojunctions, offering a pathway for sustainable H 2 O 2 production and advancing the rational design of photocatalysts for green energy applications.
