This work attempts to remediate amoxicillin (AMX) as a long-life antibiotic model in aquatic environments using the BiVO 4 (BVO) semiconductor photocatalyst. Monoclinic clinobisvanite BVO materials (BVO90, BVO120, BVO150, and BVO180) were prepared by the hydrothermal method at different calcination temperatures (90, 120, 150, and 180 °C). The homogeneous BVO150 particles with a visible-light-response bandgap energy of 2.36 eV showed the highest performance for AMX photodegradation within the as-prepared catalyst. AMX degradation in the solutions containing an initial AMX concentration of ≤10 ppm and a BVO150 dosage of ≥50 mg/L at pH 4 demonstrated a photodegradation efficiency of ≥93 % after 120 min. Moreover, AMX degradation on BVO photocatalysts also followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The evaluation of BVO150 before and after five cycles of AMX photodegradation exhibited good durability and stability of materials. Finally, based on the data obtained from product analyses, a proposed mechanism and degradation pathway were discussed.

Environmental issues, such as increasingly polluted water resources and energy shortages, have led to the need for new strategies to promote sustainable progress and enhance human well-being. Photocatalysis is widely recognized as a promising technology for environmental sustainability. MXene is a two-dimensional nanotransition metal material, which has attracted extensive attention in the field of photocatalysis. In MXenes, titanium carbide (Ti3C2) has been extensively studied for its application in photocatalysis due to its unique nanolayered structure. The Ti site on the surface of Ti3C2 has a stronger redox activity than traditional C materials, and Ti3C2 has high electrical conductivity. The focus of this study is to obtain the Ti3C2/TiO2 composite by in situ calcination of Ti3C2 and then combine Mo,W:BVO with TiO2 to form feasible heterojunctions. The excellent electrical conductivity of Ti3C2 promotes the transfer of electrons and holes between Mo,W:BVO and TiO2, thus establishing a cascade that minimizes charge carrier recombination and exhibits strong photocatalytic activity. Through a series of photocatalytic tests, the optimum calcination temperature and time of Ti3C2 (550 °C, 2.5 h) and the doping amount of Ti3C2 (2 mg/mL) were determined. Under these conditions, a high current density of 3.8 mA cm–2 was obtained, showing excellent photostability. This study confirmed the strong photocatalytic activity of the synthesized nanoscale composites Mo,W:BVO/TiO2/Ti3C2, providing valuable insights for the design of efficient and sustainable photocatalysts in the future.

In this study, BiV 1- x M x O 4 (M = Sc, Ti, W, Mo; x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.10) samples with monoclinic structure were successfully synthesized by the conventional solid state reaction method, and the doping effects on the crystal structure, band structure and optical properties were investigated. XRD and Rietveld refinement results suggested the formation of solid solutions with monoclinic structure in low concentration range. UV–vis diffuse reflectance, XPS and VBXPS results revealed that the band structure of BiVO 4 could be adjusted by doping elements with different electronegativities into V site. It is found that the energy level of CBM raised by doping Sc and Ti which have lower electronegativities than V, and the energy level of CBM decreased by doping W and Mo which have higher electronegativities than V.

The accumulation of antibiotics in aquatic ecosystems poses a serious threat to the environment and to human health. Tetracyclines (TC) account for a significant proportion of antibiotic residues worldwide. In order to overcome the limitations of conventional degradation methods, we created a three-component S-scheme heterojunction consisting of BiVO 4 /MWCNTs@NH 2 -UiO-66 (Zr) using a two-step solvothermal process. This synergistic integration utilises: (i) MWCNTs as electron transport bridges; (ii) NH 2 -UiO-66 (Zr) for high TC adsorption (surface area of 931.86 m 2 g −1 ); and (iii) BiVO 4 for visible light harvesting. This architecture broadens light absorption, reduces charge recombination and enables dual-pathway Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) generation. Under visible light, the optimised catalyst achieves 95.2 % TC degradation within 90 min–7.73 times faster than pristine BiVO 4 (k = 0.02721 vs. 0.00352 L mg −1 ·min −1 ). Radical trapping and EPR analyses confirm ·O 2 − and h + as the dominant species, while LC-MS reveals three degradation pathways. With 85.3 % activity retention after five cycles, this work provides a blueprint for the design of efficient, antibiotic-mineralising photocatalysts.

In order to realize high efficiency visible-light absorption and electron–hole separation of bismuth vanadate (BVO), we synthesized carbon-doped BVO (C-BVO) with high visible-light absorption behavior. We used polyvinylpyrrolidone K-30 as a template and L-cysteine as the carbon source in a one-step hydrothermal synthesis method, and then obtained the carbon-doped BVO@multi-walled carbon nanotubes (C-BVO@MWCNT) by a two-step method. The carbon nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, specific surface area, electron spin resonance, and transient photocurrent responses. The XRD analysis confirmed that all photocatalysts were in the same crystal form with a single monoclinic scheelite structure. Combining this with the other characterization results, we showed that the carbon element was successfully doped in BVO and the resulting C-BVO was successfully coupled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The removal ratio of rhodamine B by C-BVO@MWCNT was much higher than those by BVO and C-BVO under visible-light irradiation. Recycling experiments verified the stability of C-BVO@MWCNT, which was proved to offer excellent adsorption, strong visible-light absorption behavior, and high electron–hole separation efficiency. Such properties are expected to be useful in practical applications.

In this work, BiVO4/Bi-X (X represented the quality of adding NaNH4, X = 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5) are synthesized through two-step hydrothermal methods. The photoelectrochemical (PEC) experiments demonstrate that the PEC properties of BiVO4/Bi-0.3 bear the best PEC performance compared with other materials. Meanwhile, UV–vis Diffuse reflection spectra (DRS) and photoluminescence (PL) also affirm that the Bi metal SPR effect is able to improve the energy conversion efficiency. For this reason, the PEC sensors based on a bifunctional BiVO4/Bi-0.3 are fabricated, which demonstrates a broad linear range from 0.2–118 μM and 0.05–100 μM for sensing ascorbic acid (AA) and Dopamine (DA).

In theory, suitable metal ions doping into the surface of BiVO 4 photoanodes could improve its water oxidation performance effectively. But the common homogeneous reaction strategy is not well applicable for the preparation of BiVO 4 film photoanodes with metal ions surface doping. Herein, a photoelectrochemical treating approach was reported to prepare BiVO 4 films with W or Mo surface doping in saturated tungstate and molybdate-containing electrolyte, respectively. The doping of W or Mo into the surface of BiVO 4 film was attributed to the following reactions. Firstly, the photocorrosion of BiVO 4 film photoelectrodes resulted in the dissolution of VO 4 3+ from BiVO 4 lattice under AM 1.5 G illumination. Then, the WO 4 2+ or MoO 4 2+ in the saturated electrolyte entered and occupied the dissolved sites of VO 4 3+ on BiVO 4 surface through ions exchange reaction . Due to the lower radiative recombination of carrier as well as higher electrocatalytic water oxidation activity, the resultant W or Mo doped BiVO 4 films as photoanodes showed better solar water oxidation activity, kinetics and stability, although their light harvesting property and morphological feature were close to the pristine BiVO 4 film photoanode. The present work provides a new and effective approach for the achievement of metal ions doping into the surface of BiVO 4 photoanodes, which could inspire the preparation of similar photoanode materials.

With the rapid development of performance and long-term stability, bismuth vanadate (BiVO 4 ) has emerged as the preferred photoanode in photoelectrochemical tandem devices. Although state-of-the-art BiVO 4 photoanodes realize a saturated photocurrent density approaching the theoretical maximum, the fill factor (FF) is still inferior, pulling down the half-cell applied bias photon-to-current efficiency (HC-ABPE). Among the major fundamental limitations are the Fermi level pinning and sluggish surface kinetics at the low applied potentials. This work demonstrates that the plasma-assisted atomic layer deposition technique is capable of addressing these issues by seamlessly installing an angstrom-scale FeNi-layer between BiVO 4 and electrolyte. Not only this ultrathin FeNi layer serves as an efficient OER cocatalyst, more importantly, it also effectively passivates the surface states of BiVO 4 , de-pins the surface Fermi level, and enlarges the built-in voltage, allowing the photoanode to make optimal use of the photogenerated holes for achieving high FF up to 44% and HC-ABPE to 2.2%. This study offers a new approach for enhancing the FF of photoanodes and provides guidelines for designing efficient unassisted solar fuel devices.

The CQDs + Ni(OH) 2 /BiVO 4 photoanode was fabricated by introducing CQDs with fluorescence and optical properties . The CQDs + Ni(OH) 2 /BiVO 4 photoanode exhibited a low water oxidation onset potential (∼0.2 V vs. RHE) and a photocurrent density of 3.05 mA cm −2 at a voltage of 1.23 V vs. RHE, which is about 2.5 times than that of the unmodified BiVO 4 electrode, and the charge injection efficiency is 65%. Surface dynamics test showed that CQDs + Ni(OH) 2 /BiVO 4 photoanode had higher charge transfer rate and lower charge recombination rate than BiVO 4 electrode. As a cheap and stable catalyst for water oxidation, Ni(OH) 2 combined with CQDs can effectively improve the migration of photogenerated electrons and holes, thereby improving the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation activity of the photoanode.

Constructing highly efficient, stable and wide applicable photocatalysts with simple and controllable components to confront the environmental issue need sustained efforts. In this work, Ag nanoparticles decorated AgBr/BiVO 4 shell/core heterojunction (Ag@AgBr/BiVO 4 ) was synthesized, which showed high photocatalytic activity in removing rhodamine B (RhB, 99.1 % in 20 min) and tetracycline (TC, 94.1 % in 20 min) under visible-light irradiation. The band structure was determined based on the light absorption spectra and Mott-Schottky test. The free radical scavenger test showed the production of ·OH and ·O 2 − radicals which accelerated the photodegradation. Basing on these results, the enhanced photocatalytic performance can be attributed to AgBr/BiVO 4 shell/core heterojunction that spatially separates the photogenerated carriers and inhibits bulk recombination. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of Ag particles also improved the light absorption ability of the photocatalyst and effectively produce excess active species to accelerate the photodegradation of contaminants. The results show a coordinated regulation of Ag nanoparticles and AgBr/BiVO 4 shell/core heterojunction to achieve high photocatalytic properties, the strategy of rational designing structure and energy band alignment may also offer a new insight for the applications in solar energy conversion field.

Direct Z-scheme photocatalytic systems are very promising composite photocatalysts, and their photocatalytic performance is highly associated with the quality of the interface within them. Herein, a novel direct Z-scheme heterojunction with a coherent interface has been presented for the first time. Specifically, the heterojunction was constructed by dispersing pre-prepared BiVO4 crystals into the reaction system to synthesize Cu3SnS4, followed by a hydrothermal reaction. It is shown that Cu3SnS4 was deposited on the surface of each pre-prepared BiVO4 crystal as a thin layer via heterogeneous nucleation to acquire a core–shell heterojunction. The BiVO4@Cu3SnS4 heterojunction was found to possess an atomic coherent interface, which is formed through the bonding between the (121) plane of BiVO4 and the (112) plane of Cu3SnS4, originating from the matching in the crystalline lattice between the two planes. The coherent interface facilitated the charge transfer from Cu3SnS4 to BiVO4 owing to the difference in their Fermi levels, thereby forming a built-in electric field pointing from Cu3SnS4 to BiVO4. Reduced fluorescence emission and a shortened carrier lifetime reveal an obvious reduction in the inter-band charge recombination for the optimal BVO@CTS-0.19 sample. Consequently, BVO@CTS-0.19 shows remarkably enhanced photocatalytic performance in MO degradation, Cr6+ reduction and oxygen evolution. The Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism for BVO@CTS-0.19 was verified by a suite of techniques. This work provides a universal strategy for building a coherent interface to develop high-performance direct Z-scheme heterojunctions.

In this work, a 3D lignosulfonate composited poly(vinyl formal) (PVF) sponge impregnated by BiVO 4 /polyaniline (PANI)/Ag ternary photocatalyst (PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag) was designed and fabricated. The synergistic adsorption-photodegradation of five fluoroquinolones (FQs) antibiotics onto PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag was investigated. Incorporating lignosulfonate as a carrier on PVF sponge improved its structural properties and enhanced its adsorption performance toward FQs. The BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag ternary photocatalyst was well-dispersed and tightly bound to the composited sponge, thus it efficiently degraded the adsorbed FQs through surface photodegradation. PLS-BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag achieved >90% removal efficiency for all examined FQs within 2.0 h in a batch system, while it maintained a steady 80% removal efficiency for 30.0 h in a continuous dynamic treatment system. Photoelectric characterizations and ESR results showed that BiVO 4 /PANI/Ag was consistent with the type II heterostructure and effectively improved the utilization of visible light and the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The hole was the dominant active species in the degradation of FQs, while the main degradation pathways included defluorination, decarboxylation and destruction of piperazine ring. The prepared composited sponge is thus characterized by its high performance, convenient operation, eco-friendliness, and practicality in real water treatment systems since it undergoes self-purification and is easily recovered from water without mass loss.
