Graphical A photocatalytic selective oxidation strategy for preparing DFF from HMF is developed, using Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 as the photocatalyst and O 2 as the oxidizing agent. In contrast to previous photocatalytic oxidation strategies for HMF transformation, this catalytic system could efficiently generate 1 O 2 without other ROS under visible light irradiation. DFF would be obtained with 88 % selectivity with the optimal reaction conditions. The synthesis of 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) through photocatalytic oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is an attractive approach. In this manuscript, a photocatalytic selective oxidation strategy for HMF was developed, using Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 as the photocatalyst and O 2 as the oxidizing agent. The prepared catalyst was characterized systematically by SEM, XRD, XPS, UV-Vis, PL spectra, and so on. In contrast to previous photocatalytic oxidation strategies for HMF conversion, this catalytic system could efficiently generate 1 O 2 without other reactive oxygen species (ROS) under visible light irradiation. DFF would be obtained with about 90 % selectivity. Moreover, the exclusive formation of 1 O 2 was linked to the more positive conduction band potential (+0.90 eV) of Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 , confirmed by an array of characterization techniques. Additionally, the stability of the catalyst was assessed through cyclic testing and analyses including XRD, and XPS. Nonetheless, this catalytic system could potentially serve as a robust platform for various selective oxidation reactions in the future, due to its exclusive presence of 1 O 2 without the involvement of other ROS.

In this work, we successfully constructed visible-light-driven Z-scheme SrTiO 3 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalyst with oxygen vacancies, which exhibited highly enhanced performance for antibiotic tetracycline (TC) photodegradation compared with pure Ag 3 PO 4 and SrTiO 3 . SrTiO 3 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 (1:3) exhibited the best photocatalytic performance under visible light illumination, the rate constant k of which was about 2.72 and 18.55 folds higher than that of Ag 3 PO 4 and SrTiO 3 , respectively. No significant deactivation of photocatalytic performance over SrTiO 3 /Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 (1:3) after five consecutive cycles confirmed an enhanced stability, compared to pure Ag 3 PO 4 , which showed 22.1% decrease in photocatalytic activity under the same condition. The significantly boosted photocatalytic activity of the composites could be ascribed to the improved stability of Ag 3 PO 4 , superior carrier separation efficiency and higher redox capacities resulted from Z-scheme, in which metal Ag played the role as the charge transmission-bridge to quench electrons from conducting level of Ag 3 PO 4 with holes from defect levels of SrTiO 3 with oxygen vacancies under visible light illumination. Furthermore, a possible degradation pathway for TC was also proposed based on HPLC-MS. The work offered an excellent reference for further understanding and constructing Z-scheme heterojunctions which were potential candidates for degrading antibiotics in environmental purification.

An efficient semiconductor composite, silver/silver orthophosphate/silver bromide, was successfully synthesized by a facile one-step reduction and ion exchange process. Its crystal structure, morphology, optical property, surface element composition were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectrometer and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The effects of composite proportion and synthesis duration on performances of as-prepared photocatalysts were investigated, and the results showed that Br/P molar ratio of 3 and the synthesis duration of 4 h were the optimum conditions. The radical scavenging experiments indicated that the hole and superoxide radical were the main active species in this reaction system. The Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr-3 presented excellent stability and recyclability, maintaining 92% of degradation efficiency after 5 cycles. The good photocatalysis performance could be attributed to the formation of the heterojunction between Ag and Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr.

Ternary heterostructure nanotubes of In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 @X(X = Ag, Ag 3 PO 4 , AgI) were synthesized with enhanced photocatalytic activity for efficiently degrading pollutants. Electron beam irradiation was employed to artificially introduce interface defects to the heterostructure nanotubes. The experimental results for degrading carmine and Cr 6+ under visible light irradiation showed that the photocatalytic efficiency of In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 was improved to some extent by the introduction of silver compounds. DRS results confirmed that the band gaps of In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 were reduced to 1.62 eV and 1.58 eV by introducing Ag 3 PO 4 and AgI, respectively. Interestingly, the band gap of In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 @AgI after electron beam irradiation was further reduced to 1.56 eV, resulting in that the degradation time of both Cr 6+ and carmine by In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 @AgI after high-energy electron beam irradiation was shortened to only 5 min. The XRD spectra of the photocatalysts after five cycles could maintain the original crystal form to a large extent. The O H stretching vibration peaks of In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 @AgI after electron beam irradiation at 3387 cm −1 became wider and sharper, thus indicating that the number of free hydroxyl groups on the heterostructure surface significantly increased. PL results showed that electron beam irradiation could significantly reduce the PL emission peak and enhance the utilization of photogenerated charge carriers. EIS results further confirmed that In 2 S 3 -CdIn 2 S 4 @AgI processed by electron beam irradiation had higher photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiency. Based on the experimental results, a feasible reaction pathway and photocatalytic mechanism for the degradation of carmine was investigated. ESR results showed that the main active groups in the whole photocatalytic system were •O 2 – and h + .

In this study, an investigation is conducted into the degradation of nitenpyram (NTP) using highly efficient APMMO/PDS/Vis system. As photocatalysts, silver phosphate (AP) and calcined Zn–Al layered double hydroxides (MMO) exhibit high efficiency in achieving charge separation. Besides, the injection of electrons into peroxydisulfate (PDS) from the APMMO can contribute to obtaining the species in the active state with higher efficiency. Based on the APMMO/PDS/Vis system, 50 mg/L of nitenpyram (NTP, 50 mL) can be completely removed in 60 min using 0.8 g/L photocatalyst and 0.2 g/L PDS under the optimum condition and visible light (780 nm > λ > 420 nm). Meanwhile, as demonstrated under visible light within 30 min, an ultrahigh degradation efficiency can be achieved by NTP based on APMMO1/PDS/Vis system. Besides, the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique and radical quenching experiments suggested 1 O 2 , h + , SO 4 − •, •O 2 − , and •OH are all contributory to the removal of pollutants. Given the outcomes achieved by LC/MS system and mass spectrometry, the primary degradation intermediates of NTP end up being converted into photodegradation products (such as 2-Chloropyridine, 6-Chloropurine Riboside and dl -Leucine). Additionally, there are three potential photodegradation pathways to NTP degradation have been deployed. Moreover, the NTP light degradation occurring in APMMO1/PDS/Vis system is competent under the three types of real water sample. Accordingly, the high-efficiency APMMO1/PDS/Vis system is fit for use in water pollution control for agricultural productions.

Noble metal Ag nanoparticles were deposited on Ag3PO4/P25 heterojunction structure by ultraviolet (UV) light induction to construct Ag/Ag3PO4/P25 double heterojunction catalyst for efficient decomposition of phenacetin (PNT). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy analyses were employed to evaluate the microstructure, chemical structure and photocatalytic activity of synthesized catalyst materials. PL spectroscopy analyses revealed that a considerable enhancement in photochemistry activity of Ag3PO4/P25 due to the deposition of Ag. The effects of Ag3PO4 mass ratios, operating conditions on PNT degradation and catalyst stability were also investigated. Results showed that Ag/10% Ag3PO4/P25 under the operating conditions of catalysts concentration of 0.5 g L−1 and pH of 9.0 with UV light irradiation displayed a better photocatalysis degradation performance. When the concentration of PNT was 20 mg L−1, the removal rate of PNT and TOC obtained from Ag/Ag3PO4/P25 system were up to 97 % and 83%, respectively. The removal rate of PNT drops from 97% to 85% between the first and last cycles after 60-min conversion. Ag/Ag3PO4/P25 with a high catalytic reaction efficiency was ascribed to the deposition of Ag. Ag is an electron acceptor and Ag3PO4 have excellent electron conductivity in a heterostructure, the novel Ag/Ag3PO4/P25 composite catalyst could reduce the recombination rate of electron-hole pairs and prolong the lifetime of photogenerated electrons.

Photocatalysis is still a promising technology to alleviate the antibiotic residual problem of wastewater in the ecological environment. Herein, an all-solid-state Z-scheme Ag@Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 -(F 2 ) (TFAP) heterojunction photocatalyst was constructed using the hydrothermal method for the first time. The photocatalytic performance of TFAP nanocomposites for tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) degradation was evaluated under simulated sunlight. The prepared materials were characterized by XRD , FE-SEM, TEM , BET, FT-IR, UV vis DRS , XPS , PL, and ESR measurements. The TFAP nanocomposites showed high degradation efficiency and excellent repeatability to TCH destruction. Among them, the (TFAP 1–1) nanocomposite has a lower bandgap energy (1.80 eV), a larger specific surface area (53.48 m 2 /g), and a lower electron-hole recombination rate. After 2.5 h of simulated sunlight irradiation, the degradation rate of the 200 mg/L (TFAP 1–1) nanocomposite (k = 0.0154 min −1 ) to 10 mg/L TCH reached 94.14%, which was much higher than that of the pure TiO 2 , TiOF 2 , and Ag 3 PO 4 samples. The experimental results demonstrated that TiO 2 was generated as an intermediate product during the chemical reaction process between Ag 3 PO 4 and TiOF 2 . Additionally, Ag nanoparticles were formed in the Ag 3 PO 4 /TiO 2 /TiOF 2 heterojunction system. An electric field was formed between Ag 3 PO 4 and Ag, enhancing the visible light absorption ability. Because of the Schottky potential difference, the electrons accumulate in Ag nanoparticles, thus enhancing the photocorrosion resistance of Ag 3 PO 4 . Additionally, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag nanoparticles greatly promoted the separation of carriers at the interface of the heterojunction. The LSPR effect leads to the co-oscillation of free electrons, which leads to the strong absorption of electromagnetic energy and enhances the photocatalytic performance of the heterojunction. The Ag@Ag 3 PO 4 nanocomposites acted as electron transport media for an all-solid-state Z-scheme TFAP heterojunction system. This study provides some in-depth insights into the structural design of Z-scheme heterojunctions, which have certain implications for other catalytic systems.

This paper discusses the photocatalytic properties of Ag/Ag 3 PO 4 /Ti 3+ -TiO 2 composites. The nanostructured composites were synthesized by gas-phase hydrolysis, precipitation, and photoreduction methods. The photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts was evaluated by degrading RhB and TC under visible light. The degradation efficiency of AT4 for RhB and TC reached 99.9 % and 78.2 % under visible light irradiation for 20 min and 2.5 min, respectively. The superior performance of AT4 is facilitated by the combined influence of the heterojunction and the SPR . The free radical capture test proved that h + and •O 2 − were the major reactive groups, and in conjunction with UV–vis DRS curves and Mott-Schottky curves, a probable reaction mechanism was proposed.
