Graphical Under light excitation , WOS broadens the photo-response range through Z-scheme heterojunction. Its photothermal effect can convert light into heat and accelerate the reaction. This efficient photothermal technology facilitates CO 2 reduction. Photothermal CO 2 reduction using H 2 O combined with photocatalysis-driven H 2 O splitting combined with thermal catalysis-supported CO 2 reduction has attracted rapid interest in artificial synthesis of solar fuel. With respect to extremely efficient photothermal catalysis, the photothermal impact of TMDCs (Transition Metal Dichalcogenides) facilitates CO 2 reduction by activating lattice oxygen in oxide to enhance H 2 O oxidation. However, the fixed band gap of single photocatalyst is limited. The purpose of this work is to expand the band gap and improve the redox capacity. Hollow boxwood ball-like WO 3 /WS 2 Z-scheme heterojunctions were prepared and used for photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction. DFT calculations and UV-Vis spectra show LSPR effect in WOS heterojunctions, and the optical response extends to near infrared region. By comparison, the photothermal catalytic reduction of WO 3 /WS 2 (9.717 μmol) by CO 2 at 513 K is higher than that at 298 K (1.198 μmol) by a factor of 8. The formation of Z-scheme heterojunction promotes rapid carrier transfer and lowers the reaction energy barrier. As well as the hollow structure improves light utilization and increases the interfacial area and number of active sites. In addition, the WO 3 /WS 2 heterostructure utilizes its unique LSPR effect to generate heat through the photothermal effect, which can also promote molecular activation. This work reveals the important role of the LSPR effect in photothermal catalysis and demonstrates a TMDCs-based photothermal-driven catalysts, which presents a promising approach for designing of photothermal catalytic CO 2 reduction.

Photodetectors (PDs) that combine inorganic semiconductors with organic lead halide perovskites to produce broader spectral responses have captured great interest from researchers; however, the imperfect perovskite crystallinity and the defects on the film surface are still the main factors inhibiting the PD's capability. Here, we proposed a simple method by introducing ionic liquid [1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide (BMII)] into ZnO/CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 to encourage the growth of perovskite grains, raise the crystallinity of perovskite, and reduce the trap states, finally enhancing the photoelectric performances. After the addition of BMII, there are 171-fold, 74-fold, and 76-fold increases, respectively, in the light–dark current ratio, the spectral responsivity, and the external quantum efficiency, meanwhile, detectivity can reach 2.58 × 10 13 Jones in the UV–vis range. The impressive results can be owed to the higher carrier concentration of ZnO/CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 with BMII, which can facilitate the charge transfer and suppress the recombination of photogenerated carriers. This study may be of assistance to extend our knowledge of developing high-performance PDs.

The formation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as byproducts during the synthesis of silver nanowires (AgNWs) necessitates accurate quantification of their relative abundances for evaluating practical applications. This study introduces a rapid quantitative approach based on UV-Vis spectral peak deconvolution. By modulating the molecular weight (MW) of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), effective control over the diameter and yield of AgNWs was realized. Experimental results show that low-MW PVP (24 kDa) promotes the formation of short nanorods, intermediate-MW PVP (220 kDa) maximizes the aspect ratio to 370, and high-MW PVP (1300 kDa) reduces it to 310 due to steric hindrance. A novel mixed PVP system (1300 kDa:24 kDa = 2:1) significantly optimizes the nanowire morphology, yielding AgNWs with an aspect ratio of 920. However, competitive adsorption kinetics in this system resulted in a minimum AgNW/AgNP ratio of 0.90. A quantitative model correlating the average diameter of AgNWs with their characteristic UV-Vis absorption peak (370–400 nm) was established, enabling rapid diameter estimation through spectral analysis. Gaussian-Lorentzian hybrid functions were used to deconvolute the plasmon resonance peaks of AgNWs (370–400 nm) and AgNPs (450–500 nm), with the ratio of their peak areas employed to determine the proportion of wire-like products. This method shows strong agreement with SEM statistical results (Pearson coefficient = 0.84, R 2 = 0.75). Without requiring complex separation or machine learning, our approach enables rapid determination of AgNW diameters and yields through UV-Vis spectral deconvolution, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for optimizing industrial synthesis and quality control.

In this study, four-element high entropy carbonate solid solutions with Mg as the primary element and three equimolar transition metal elements (Co, Ni, Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu) were successfully prepared using the hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, microstructure, color properties, and reflectance of the synthetic materials were characterized using techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible-near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectrophotometry. The results indicate that the existence of Cu impacts the formation of solid solution phase, especially in combination with Fe, leading to the formation of a heterophase. By changing the combination of elements, the band gap of the high-entropy carbonate was adjusted from 2.09 eV to 5.56 eV. The colorimetric coordinates, according to CIE 1976 Lab, ranged from L 34.54 ∼ 89.80, a * -22.06 ∼ 5.41, and b * -1.75 ∼ 39.38, allowing for coverage from blue to red tones. The coexistence of Cu and Fe resulted in a deep reddish-brown color, which is likely related to charge transfer transitions. Additionally, different combinations of high-entropy carbonates showed significant differences in near-infrared reflectance, reaching up to 83% in the 780 nm to 2500 nm band range, indicating potential applications in high-reflective insulation materials.

The extensive production and use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has increased the volume of downstream residues that contaminate the environment, which pose great threats to ecosystems and human health. The decomposition of peroxydisulfate (PDS), which is activated by UV–vis to produce a potent oxidizing sulfate radical, comprises a new type of advanced oxidation technology. The degradation of indomethacin (IM) by the UV–vis activation of peroxydisulfate was investigated. The results demonstrated that IM degradation followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. UV–vis irradiation led to the direct albeit slight photolysis of IM, whereas the addition of an oxidant significantly enhanced the removal efficiency. The IM degradation efficiency was increased when the pH was elevated from 5 to 7; however, the elimination of IM was reduced when the pH was elevated from 7 to 9 due to the conversion of SO 4 − to HO . A low concentration of Cl − had a dual effect, while a high concentration led to a dramatic inhibitory effect. Fulvic acid (SRFA) inhibited the decomposition of IM through the light screening effect and the quenching of radicals. A quenching experiment revealed that SO 4 − was the primary free radical, which is confirmed by electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The second-order rate constants of IM and SO 4 − were also determined. The luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri was selected to assess the toxicity of the transformation products, which was further confirmed by quantitative structure-active relationship analysis. The cleavage of the bond between C on the benzene ring and N on the indole group, the hydroxylation of the benzene ring, and the decarboxylation of the aliphatic chain were the main pathways for the degradation of IM in the UV–vis/peroxydisulfate system.

Herein, using black talc as a carrier, a ternary black talc-TiO2/ZnO composite photocatalyst was prepared by the sol-gel method, and the effect of the black talc on the hetero-structure properties of the TiO2and ZnO was systematically studied. The prepared composite photocatalyst showed an excellent degradation performance of the pollutant, where black talc plays an important role in promoting the interface interaction by enhancing the contact area between the TiO2and ZnO. Moreover, the free carbon element doping in black talc favors the formation of more oxygen vacancies, thereby improving the response as a photocatalyst in visible light. In addition, the carbon in the black talc can also adsorb organic pollutants and enrich the surroundings of the photocatalyst with pollutants, so it further improves the catalytic efficiency of the photocatalyst. Under UV irradiation, the degradation rate of Rhodamine B on black talc-TiO2/ZnO was found 3.3 times higher than that of black talc-TiO2with good stability.Keywords:black talc carrier;heterostructure;photocatalyst;TiO2;ZnO

As a narrow band semiconductor at room temperature and a metallic material above ∼68 °C, functional VO2 films are widely investigated for smart windows, whereas their potential for ultraviolet–visible–infrared (UV–vis–IR) broad spectral photodetectors has not been efficiently studied. In this report, photodetectors based on VO2–ZnO nanocrystal composite films were prepared by nanocrystal-mist (NC-mist) deposition. An enhanced photodetection switching ratio was achieved covering the ultraviolet to infrared wavelength. Due to the synergetic effect of nanosize, surface, phase transition, percolation threshold, and the band structure of the heterojunction, the transfer and transport of photogenerated carriers modulate the device performance. This study probes new chances of applying VO2-semiconductor-based nanocomposites for broad spectral photodetectors.

UV–Vis–NIR photodetectors play a crucial role in numerous scientific and commercial applications. It is a great challenge to realize UV–Vis–NIR photodetectors due to the limited photoresponse range of single materials, especially photomultiplication type detectors. In this work, a bulk heterojunction strategy is used to construct Y-TiOPc NP and ZnS NR photosensitive materials (Y-TiOPc:ZnS) with outstanding light absorption in the range of 365 nm to 940 nm. The photodetector based on Y-TiOPc:ZnS (YZ-PD) exhibits an obvious photomultiplication phenomenon and excellent photodetection performance with the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 2985.5% and a photoresponsivity (R) of 8782 mA W−1 under a low-intensity of 0.01 mW cm−2. Moreover, the photocurrent response curves are all prompt, steady and reproducible during repeated on/off cycles under different exposure wavelengths. Such high performances can be attributed to the complementary absorption spectra of Y-TiOPc NPs and ZnS NRs, the improvement in carrier generation efficiency, separation efficiency, and transmission rate caused by bulk heterojunctions, and the enhancement of external hole tunneling injection efficiency assisted by interfacial trapped electrons. This work demonstrates that the construction of bulk heterojunctions by incorporating UV photosensitive materials and Vis–NIR photosensitive materials has immense potential to prepare highly sensitive broadband photomultiplier detectors, which may inspire further research on high-performance full spectrum photodetectors.

A colorimetric platform based on enzyme-inorganic hybrid nanoflowers was used for ultraviolet-visible detection of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ). The hybrid nanoflowers were prepared via incubation at room temperature using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and copper phosphate (Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ) as the organic and inorganic components, respectively. HRP/Cu 3 (PO 4 ) 2 hybrid nanoflowers (HRP-HNFs) showed linear H 2 O 2 detection range from 100 nM to 100 μM, moreover, HRP-HNFs exhibited good selectivity for H 2 O 2 detection due to the specificity of HRP. In addition, HRP-HNFs have good reusability, excellent color stability and long-term storage stability, which indicate HRP-HNFs are promising for catalysis and biomedical applications.

A novel CaIn2S4 with three-dimensional octahedral nano-blocks (ONBs) are successfully synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate by a simple hydrothermal method. The CaIn2S4 ONBs are uniform grown and scattered on the whole FTO substrate with high regular and symmetric morphology as well as average diagonal length of about 600 nm. Based on the as-synthesized CaIn2S4 ONBs, a photodetector (PD) is fabricated. Satisfyingly, it is found that the CaIn2S4 ONBs PD achieves a broad-band response ranging from ultraviolet (UV) to visible ( vis) light at zero bias voltage. It is also significant that the CaIn2S4 ONBs PD enables a fast response, in which the rise time and decay time are less than 0.15 and 0.2 s, respectively. Furthermore, the morphological evolution of the CaIn2S4 ONBs and plausible UV/vis detection mechanism of the CaIn2S4 ONBs PD are discussed.

It is widely known that the excellent intrinsic electronic and optoelectronic advantages of bismuthene and tellurene make them attractive for applications in transistors and logic and optoelectronic devices. However, their poor optoelectronic performances, such as photocurrent density and photoresponsivity, under ambient conditions severely hinder their practical application. To satisfy the demand of high-performance optoelectronic devices and topological insulators, bismuth telluride nanoplates (Bi2Te3 NPs) with different sizes, successfully synthesized by a solvothermal approach have been, for the first time, employed to fabricate a working electrode for photoelectrochemical (PEC)-type photodetection. It is demonstrated that the as-prepared Bi2Te3 NP-based photodetectors exhibit remarkably improved photocurrent density, enhanced photoresponsivity, and faster response time and recovery time in the UV-Vis region, compared to bismuthene and tellurene-based photodetectors. Additionally, the PEC stability measurements show that Bi2Te3 NPs have a comparable long-term stability for on/off switching behaviour for the bismuthene and tellurene-based photodetectors. Therefore, it is anticipated that the present work can provide fundamental acknowledgement of the optoelectronic performance of a PEC-type Bi2Te3 NP-based photodetector, shedding light on new designs of high-performance topological insulator-based optoelectronic devices.
