Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 was co-decorated by β-phase AgI and Bi 2 O 3 forming visible-light-active AgI(β)/Bi 2 O 3 (β)-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 composite via simply calcining AgI/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 . The calcination temperature and time played vital role in regulating the structure as well as photocatalytic performance. Optimal AgI(β)/Bi 2 O 3 (β)-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 was obtained after 325 ◦ C calcination for 2 h with 5% AgI. The ratio of Bi 2 O 3 to Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 was estimated to be ca. 3:1 on the catalyst surface. The transformation process for n -type Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 to p-type Bi 2 O 3 (β) was monitored and verified by flat band potential measurements. Due to the presence of p-n junctions between p-type Bi 2 O 3 (β), n -type AgI(β) and Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , the optimized ternary composite displayed enhanced photocurrent density and reduced charge transfer resistance, which were beneficial for photocatalytic applications. Despite of decreased specific surface area, dramatically enhanced photocatalytic performance can be observed for simultaneous removal of Cr(VI) and phenol . For example, the estimated k Cr(VI) and k phenol on AgI(β)/Bi 2 O 3 (β)-Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 were 3.3 and 2.2 times relative to those on uncalcined AgI/Bi 2 O 2 CO 3 , respectively. The optimized composite also displayed good stability in 4 successive cyclic runs.

Ternary Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composites with an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance have been prepared via a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. The photo-degradation experiments verified that Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite with a large surface area of 68.2 m 2 /g exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity and adsorption capacity towards Rhodamine B under visible light irradiation , which was higher than that of the naked CdS and ln 2 S 3 , respectively. Furthermore, Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite showed robust degradation efficiency for mixture dyes of RhB and Methyl Orange (MO), and its catalytic ability was superior to that of ternary GO/ln 2 S 3 /CdS composite. The trapping experiments for active species revealed that hole (h + ) and • O 2 − species played a critical role in the removal of organic pollutants. In summary, the enhanced photocatalytic performance of Ti 3 C 2 –OH/ln 2 S 3 /CdS photocatalyst was derived from an excellent charge carrier separation and transfer of Ti 3 C 2 –OH MXene and the synergistic effect between CdS and ln 2 S 3 which resulting in strong visible light response.

With the simple perovskite structure, Bi 2 WO 6 could be utilized as a modifier to overcome the low visible light response of the wide energy band photocatalyst ZnS. Flower-like Bi 2 WO 6 was simply synthesized by hydrothermal method and Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS heterojunction was constructed via solvothermal reaction. The results showed that ZnS nanospheres were uniformly loaded on the flower-like structure, which was well kept under low concentration loading (≤20%ωt ZnS). The degradation of MB and Rh.B under visible light was used to measure the photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts. The degradation rates of MB and Rh.B by 20%ωt-Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS were as high as 94.3% and 92.8%, respectively. Moreover, the degradation performance of photocatalyst still maintained 89.3% after 4 times recycling tests. The visible light absorption ability of modified ZnS was improved, and the recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes was inhibited due to the formation of heterojunction. According to the data from density functional theory calculation, the composition of the valence band and conductive band of the Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS system has been altered. The band gap of Bi 2 WO 6 /ZnS was reduced by roughly 1.12 eV compared to that of pure ZnS, and the work function analysis were in good agreement with the experimental results. Under light stimulation, electrons were transferred from Bi 2 WO 6 to ZnS to produce superoxide radicals which played key roles in the degradation reaction of dyes.

A simple redox method was used to synthesize δ-MnO 2 and introduce the first main group metal elements between the layers of δ-MnO 2 . Through testing, we found that δ-MnO 2 doped with Rb + demonstrated the best catalytic performance for formaldehyde removal. Under the condition of 36 °C and the initial formaldehyde concentration of 200 ppm, a 200 mg of Rb-MnO 2 could achieve the percentage of removal of formaldehyde 97.48%. We found that doping elements with low electronegativity and large ion radius could weaken the Mn–O bond, which is conducive to the formation of reactive oxygen species and improve the performance of catalytic oxidation.

Based on the anion exchange strategy, a novel Bi2S3/BiOCl0.1Br0.9 S-scheme heterojunction was prepared via a facile one-step low-temperature water bath method for the first time. In this process, 2D Bi2S3 nanosheets were controllably grown on the surface of a 3D hollow BiOCl0.1Br0.9 solid solution. Under visible light irradiation, the as-prepared 3BS-BCB exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic degradation efficiency of 99.67% toward rhodamine B (Rh B) within 140 min, which is approximately 3.57 times higher than that of the BiOCl0.1Br0.9 solid solution alone. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to the formation of an interfacial electric field (IEF), which accelerated the separation rate of photoinduced electron–hole pairs and coupled the strong redox ability of both the semiconductors. Moreover, the photosensitive effect of Bi2S3 extended its light absorption range, increasing the yield of photogenerated charge carriers. Such thermodynamic and kinetic compatibility is the fundamental reason for the enhanced photocatalytic efficiency. This study provides new insights into the design of S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts with visible light response and high redox ability based on wide-band gap semiconductors.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have attracted significant attention in photocatalytic water purification due to their structural designability and sufficiently negative conduction band edges. However, the limited oxidation capacity of single COFs and the low utilization rate of photogenerated carriers result in suboptimal catalytic activity. To address these challenges, we propose a two-level regulation strategy that involves ligand engineering and the introduction of a piezoelectric field to enhance the photocatalytic performance of COF-based photocatalysts. In this study, we combined the piezoelectric material Bi 2 WO 6 with COFs modified with different ligands to design a series of Bi 2 WO 6 /R-COFs (R=H, F, CH 3 O) heterojunctions. Modifying COFs with –OCH 3 functional group tuned the local electron distribution, thereby remarkably improving photogenerated electrons transfer rate constant. Besides, the incorporation of Bi 2 WO 6 generated a piezoelectric field under ultrasound, which provides a strong driving force for photocatalytic. Meanwhile, the construction of the heterojunctions offered multi-channel for the generation of reactive oxygen species. As a result, the photocatalytic degradation rate of Bi 2 WO 6 /CH 3 O-COFs reached 93.5 % toward sulfamethoxazole within 48 min under ultrasound-coupled light irradiation, which is nearly three times higher than Bi 2 WO 6 /H-COFs. Furthermore, Bi 2 WO 6 /CH 3 O-COFs demonstrated superior degradation performance for other pollutants, including p-chlorophenol, bisphenol A, tetracycline, and phenol, with degradation efficiencies of 99.0 %, 98.4 %, 93.5 % and 88.1 %, respectively. This work proposes a two-level modulation strategy that significantly enhances the antibiotic degradation performance of COF-based catalysts, offering a new perspective for the design of photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

In this paper, TiO2 beads were deposited on Ag nanowires to create necklace-like Ag nanowire@TiO2 (Ag NW@TiO2) heterostructures for the first time. They were fabricated via a two-step synthetic method, including the preparation of uniform Ag NWs and the deposition of TiO2 on the Ag surface. Thioglycolic acid (TGA) molecules were used as binding agents to solve the tricky issue of substantial lattice mismatch between the Ag NW core and the TiO2 shell. The amount of water and the permittivity of the solvents are found to be important factors for the formation of the necklace-like heterostructures. Moreover, by varying the amount of titanium butoxide (TBT), the diameter of the TiO2 beads can be feasibly changed. The photocatalytic performance of necklace-like Ag NW@TiO2 was evaluated via degradation of methyl orange (MO) under ultraviolet (UV) light. The results reveal that the molar ratio of TiO2 to Ag contributes to the synergistic effect on the photocatalytic activity, and the best Ti/Ag ratio is found to be 2.8 for the highest photocatalytic performance of the Ag NW@TiO2 heterostructures.

A TiO2 trapped meso/macroporous g-C3N4 heterojunction (mm-CNT) photocatalyst is fabricated by hydrolysis and sintering of tetrabutyl titanate on meso/macroporous g-C3N4 prepared via a facile hard template method. TiO2 nanoparticles are highly dispersed and some of them are trapped in the pores of meso/macroporous g-C3N4. The photocatalytic performance of mm-CNT is assessed through degradation of Rhodamine B solution under visible light irradiation, which displays much better photocatalytic performance than that over pristine meso/macroporous g-C3N4 and pristine g-C3N4. Based on the characterization results, it is reasonable to believe that the enhanced photocatalytic activity should be attributed to the unique meso/macroporous architecture and heterojunction structure, which results in improved mass transfer and enhances the separation efficiency of exciton dissociation. Besides, an optical simulation is initially utilized to study the optical absorption characteristics of mm-CNT since the optical absorption ability of a photocatalyst is one of the most important aspects influencing the photocatalytic ability. As a result, the enhanced ability of light absorption observed on the heterojunctions should be also favorable to achieve improved photocatalytic performances. On account of the analysis results, a possible photocatalytic mechanism for enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity is proposed.

In this study, a novel oxygen vacancy-rich BiOCl/ZnMoO 4 composites were successfully prepared by a simple two-step method. Experimental results indicated that the content of BiOCl with oxygen vacancies played an important role in photocatalytic performance of OBZM heterostructures. OBZM-5 exhibited a highly enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation compared to pure BiOCl, Ov-BiOCl, ZnMoO 4 and other OBZM composites, which can be attributed to the efficient separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carrier. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency of rhodamine B (RhB) can reach 99% within 40 min and almost all of norfloxacin (NOR) can be degradated after 100 min by OBZM-5. In addition, OBZM-5 displayed a good stability during the photocatalytic process, which favored a long-term use. Moreover, a possible photocatalytic mechanism was proposed based on the active species trapping experiments and electron spin resonance (ESR) tests, verifying that the photogenerated holes (h + ) and · O 2 − radicals were the dominating active species.

CuSe as an excellent photocatalytic semiconductor material has wildly used in the field of photocatalysis. In this paper, CuSe-PDA/g-C 3 N 4 was designed and synthesized, and the photocatalytic performance of CuSe was further enhanced by the addition of polydopamine (PDA) and graphite phase carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ). The as-prepared CuSe-PDA/g-C 3 N 4 was characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and elemental mapping. The specific surface area and porous characteristics of the material were also studied by N 2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, which the specific surface area were 186.6 m 2 /g and pore size were of 3.1 nm by BET data analysis. The photocatalytic conditions for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) by CuSe-PDA/g-C 3 N 4 were optimized in the experiment. The results showed that the photocatalytic performance of CuSe-PDA/g-C 3 N 4 under visible-light illumination were better than CuSe and PDA owing to the narrow band gap energy and delayed electron-hole recombination. Under the optimized conditions, the removal rate reach to 99% of 50 mg/L MB within 60 min irradiation time. Moreover, the MB removal rate was over 90% through six repeated experiments, which proved that the CuSe-PDA/g-C 3 N 4 composite nanomaterials have good stability and reusability.

TiO2/WPU/PVA nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning with modified nano-TiO2, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as main materials that were blended mechanically. The nanofibers morphologies and physical states were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetry analysis (TG), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and UV-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that nano-TiO2 was modified by r-aminopropyltriethoxysilanehe in order to improve the dispersion of nano-TiO2 in WPU/PVA matrix and the spinning quality of composite fibers was improved by adding proper amount of modified nano-TiO2. When the content of modified nano-TiO2 was 1%, the composite fibers with uniform diameter distribution were obtained. Results from FTIR and TG suggested that modified nano-TiO2 had been successfully introduced to the WPU/PVA nanofibers and TiO2/WPU/PVA nanofibers had the best thermal stability when the content of modified nano-TiO2 was 1%. Results from UV-Vis suggested that the photocatalytic performance of composite nanofibers that degraded methyl orange was enhanced by the addition of modified nano-TiO2.

The metastable α-Ag 2 MoO 4 was usually prepared under high pressure conditions, but it was successfully prepared by epitaxial growth on WO 3 nanosheets at room temperature under normal pressure in this work. The interfacial structure of α-Ag 2 MoO 4 /WO 3 (AW) was characterized by XRD , SEM, TEM, and Raman spectra to explain the process of phase transformation from the β phase to the α phase. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue and Escherichia coli . The results indicate that AW-60 exhibits the best photocatalytic activity. The enhancement in photocatalytic performance is mainly due to the photogenerated electron flow between the components from WO 3 to Ag 2 MoO 4 in AW-60. The initial inactivation of E. coli is due to the decomposition of macromolecules with a typical mass range m / z of 2–7 kDa. The corresponding photocatalytic mechanism was proposed and confirmed by the measurements, such as BET, fluorescence spectrum, free radical trapping and the ζ potential of WO 3 and AW-60.
