Organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskites are highly promising candidates for efficient photovoltaics , however, the long-term stability in ambient air still limits their further practical applications. Herein, the enhancement of both performance and stability of perovskite solar cells is reported by employing two-dimension (2D)/three-dimension (3D) planar perovskite films. The 2D/3D planar perovskites combine the advantages of the high-performance from the 3D perovskite and the stability from 2D-perovskite. It is found that the benefits of the 2D perovskite are attributed to ultrathin coverage on the 3D perovskite surface, which not only passivates the grain boundaries of the underlayer 3D perovskite, but also aligns the energy level between the perovskite and hole transport layers from a microscopic point of view. This work demonstrates that modulating 2D/3D planar films by hybridizing different species of perovskite is a feasible way to simultaneously enhance both efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells.

Adopting semiconductor materials with light-trapping architectures as the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active substrates has received increasing attention, in which the multiple reflection and scattering of electromagnetic waves can improve the enhancement factor. However, the fabrication of these semiconductor SERS-active substrates commonly requires complicated processes, and these methods normally result in non-uniform and isolated particles/flakes, which have fundamental difficulties in meeting the practical needs in high performance and reliable SERS substrates. Herein, we demonstrate that SnSe2 nanoplate arrays (NPAs) via self-assembled growth can serve as uniform, highly sensitive and reliable SERS substrates. The cavity formed by the SnSe2 NPAs can trap light efficiently (∼96%) and thus improve the enhancement factor. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of the charge-transfer process and enhanced light trapping, the resulting SERS substrates based on pure SnSe2 NPAs show an ultralow detection limit (1 × 10−12 M), a high enhancement factor (6.33 × 106) and excellent uniformity (relative standard deviations down to 7.7%), demonstrating one of the highest sensitivities amongst the reported semiconductor SERS substrates. Furthermore, the effects of different SnSe2 structural configurations (planar vs. cavity), the height and tilt angle of the SnSe2 NPAs on the performance of SERS detection are systematically investigated. It is discovered that the SERS performance is strongly dependent on both the light-trapping ability and the absorption loss. We believe that our results not only provide an effective strategy to obtain tunable, uniform and high performance SERS substrates, but also lead to further understanding of designing 3D light trapping architectures.

Bacterial infection is one of the serious problems during wound healing. Antibiotics and traditional antibacterial treatment can produce side effects, such as bacterial resistance, cell toxicity, during the long-term interaction with bacteria. Therefore, developing new antibacterial materials and methods for rapid and safe disinfection in wound healing is important. This work fabricated a hybrid hydrogel incorporated with Ag 3 PO 4 /MoS 2 composites for rapid sterilization during wound healing. This hydrogel exhibited a superior antibacterial activity within 5 min by co-irradiation of 660 nm visible light (VL) and 808 nm near infrared (NIR) light due to the synergistic effects of both photodynamic antibacterial and photothermal antibacterial treatments. In addition, the antibacterial hydrogel could promote the wound healing compared with the pure hydrogel and medical gauze (MG) and cause no noticeable organ abnormalities in rats during the wound healing process.

α-Fe 2 O 3 /porous g-C 3 N 4 (α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN) photocatalysts were fabricated via a facile and green method. Structural characterization indicated α-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were successfully loaded onto PCN. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN nanocomposites were proven durable with significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for Rhodamine B photodegradation than the single components under visible light irradiation. The improved photoactivity was mainly attributed to the broadened visible light absorption, enriched active sites, and formation of α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN heterojunction that addressed the recombination of photoinduced electrons and holes. The α-Fe 2 O 3 /PCN hybrids also showed high recyclability and chemical stability.

In the study, a series of novel Z-scheme biochar@CoFe 2 O 4 /Ag 3 PO 4 photocatalysts were synthesized and employed to degrade bisphenol A under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 420 nm). The structural morphology, optical properties and physicochemical properties of composites were characterized by means of TEM , XRD , FT-IR, XPS , UV–Vis, BET, EIS and VSM analysis. The photocatalytic performances of the photocatalysts were evaluated systematically. The MBA-3 photocatalyst exhibited the highest photocatalytic and mineralization ability within 60 min among all photocatalysts, 91.12% and 80.23%, respectively. After four cycles, the degradation of BPA still kept the photocatalytic activity of 73.94%, and the removal rate of TOC remained 58.96%. Moreover, the active species in the photocatalytic process were evaluated, and we proposed the Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism for highly efficient degradation of BPA. According to the GC-MS results, the photodegradation pathway of BPA is also suggested. The present study has provided a valuable way of using the magnetic biochar in the design of new and efficient system for the degradation of organic pollutions in waste water .

A series of TiO 2 and γ-Fe 2 O 3 co-doped graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets ( x TiO 2 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO) were prepared by a facile self-assembly method. The characterization results show that the x TiO 2 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO have the advantages of narrow band gap energies (<2.47 eV), and high structure stability. The incorporation of TiO 2 into γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO composite dramatically enhances the catalytic activity, and the 0.03TiO 2 /γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO composite exhibits the highest catalytic efficiency (99%) for ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation (10 mg/L, 50 ml) within 140 min under visible light, which is ~1.5 times higher than that of γ-Fe 2 O 3 /GO composite without TiO 2 . Furthermore, the photo-Fenton like mechanism was proposed by quenching experiment and electrochemistry method. The intermediates of the CIP degradation were analyzed by the assistance of LC-MS technology, which provides insight into the pathway of CIP degradation.

Exploration of cost-efficient and high-performance photocatalyst for H 2 evolution by using a facile approach is of great importance. In this manuscript, a facile one-pot method was employed to fabricate MoS 2 /CdS heterostructures with MoS 2 intimately grown on the surface of CdS resulting in the formation of well-defined heterostructures. Screen experiment reveals the optimized photocatalytic H 2 evolution performance of MoS 2 /CdS is far exceeding that of pristine CdS by a factor of more than 162. The outstanding performance can be ascribed to the formation of heterostructures which accelerate charge transportation and separation, and the MoS 2 serving as a cocatalyst for the decrease of H 2 overpotential. Moreover, the photocatalytic mechanism of the MoS 2 /CdS was carefully investigated, which contributes to the deep understanding of the photocatalytic process and the designation of other low-cost and high-efficient photocatalyst.

BiOI film was electrodeposited deposited on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO), then it was transformed into a nanoporous BiVO 4 film by annealing at 420 °C. The BiVO 4 /FTO electrode is used as photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor to detect ascorbic acid (AA) for the first time. Under illumination of low power 20 W LED lamp, the current density of the sensor increases with the increase of AA concentration. The proposed PEC sensor exhibited a sensitive detection for AA in a wide range from 5 μM to 300 μM with a low detection limit of 1 μM (S/N = 3) and sensitivity of 293 μA mM −1 cm −2 . A portable AA detection device was constructed with a 20W LED lamp as the light source, BiVO 4 /FTO electrode as an anode, Pt as a cathode, and ammeter as a photoelectric signal receiver. The concentration of AA detected by this device is close to that measured by the electrochemical workstation (RSD<10%), which makes the sensor practical and portable.

In this work, a set of novel Cu 2 ZnSnS 4 /Bi 2 WO 6 (CZTS/BWO) two-dimensional (2D)/two-dimensional (2D) type-II heterojunctions with different CZTS weight ratios (1%, 2%, and 5%) were successfully synthesized via a brief secondary solvothermal process. The successful formation of the heterojunctions was affirmed by characterization methods such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The photocatalytic activity results showed that the prepared CZTS/BWO heterojunctions had excellent photocatalytic behaviors for organic degradation, especially when the mass fraction of CZTS with respect to BWO in the composite was 2%. Moreover, the addition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) could further improve the dye and antibiotic degradation efficiencies. The reinforced photocatalytic and photo-Fenton degradation performance were primarily attributable to the introduction of BWO, which afforded increased active sites, expanded the solar spectral response range, and accelerated the cycle of Cu(II)/Cu(I); after four cycling times, its catalytic activity did not decrease significantly. In addition, reasonable hypotheses of the photocatalytic and photo-Fenton catalytic mechanisms were formulated. This study is expected to provide a visual approach for designing a novel photo-Fenton catalyst to jointly utilize the photocatalytic and Fenton activities, which can be better applied to the purification of residual organics in wastewater.

Sewage not only contains water-soluble contaminants but water-insoluble contaminants as well. Superhydrophobic CdS–melamine foam prepared in this research satisfies the requirements of water purification. The photocatalyst CdS effectively adsorbs light energy to generate active species (⋅O 2 − ) for degrading water-soluble pollutants. At the same time, superhydrophobic/superoleophilic characteristic of the melamine sponge can be utilized to remove water-insoluble pollutants. Finally, the degradation mechanism of materials was obtained by studying the parameters such as band gap and valence band structure, as well as by analyzing the experimental data of active species.

As ionic liquid analogues, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been widely used in many fields in past decades. In this work, a PEGylated deep eutectic solvent (PEGylated DES) was used for the solvothermal synthesis of CdS@CeO 2 core-shell material for the first time. The amount of CeO 2 coating has a remarkable influence on the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline. When the molar ratio of CeO 2 to CdS is 1:1, the degradation rate of tetracycline is 91.5% under visible light (λ > 420 nm), which is about 1.57 and 10.5 times as that of CdS and CeO 2 , respectively. The enhancement of photocatalytic performance is due to the fast separation of photogenerated electrons, the lower recombination of electron-hole pairs and the smaller band gap, which are demonstrated via UV–vis diffuse, photocurrent density, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photoluminescence and Mott-Schokkty measurements. This work provides a new way for the design of a core-shell metal sulfide photocatalyst that can be used in environmental remediation.

A novel drug-delivery nanosystem based on near-infrared (NIR) light-degradable antimony nanoparticles (AMNP) have been developed for synergistic chemo–phototherapy in vitro. The monodispersed AMNP were synthesized by using a simple and cost-effective method. Positively charged doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) was loaded onto the negatively charged surface of AMNP via electrostatic interaction and finally modified by polyacrylic acid (PAA) to enhance biocompatibility. Under NIR (808 nm) laser irradiation of the AMNP–DOX–PAA nanosystem, not only was high photothermal conversion efficiency of AMNP achieved but also pH-dependent DOX release was enhanced due to laser-induced hyperthermia. As a consequence, almost all of the HeLa cells (around 97%) were killed because of the combined effects of chemotherapy and photothermal therapy. More interestingly, AMNP showed very fast (about 10 min) laser-induced degradation that may help to minimize long-term toxicity after therapy by using same-wavelength NIR laser irradiation (808 nm). Computational total energy calculations and molecular dynamics simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) suggest that the NIR laser irradiation induces a photothermally activated reaction on the surface of AMNP in water, which can lead to surface degradation via the formation of Sb–H bonds first and then Sb–OH bonds upon further increase of temperature. This work demonstrates a simple platform that has potential applications for synergistic and highly effective chemo–photothermal therapy based on photodegradable nanoparticles.
