Oxygen-doped MoS 2 @In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 core-shell dual Z-scheme tandem heterojunctions are fabricated via two-step hydrothermal methods. In 2 S 3 and Bi 2 S 3 nanosheets grow on the outer surface of oxygen-doped MoS 2 spheres, and the tight interface between the spheres could ensure stable electron transfer. MoS 2 with oxygen defects could inhibit the recombination of photo-induced electron-hole pairs. The unique core-shell structure increases the interface area and provides adequate surface reactive sites for the reactants. The resultant MoS 2 @In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 shows broad-spectrum response and excellent photothermal effect, which is beneficial to trigger the near-field temperature rise and promote the photocatalytic process. The MoS 2 @In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 exhibits excellent photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 973.42 μmol h −1 g −1 , and the degradation efficiency of tetracycline within 90 min is 99.6%, which is ∼ 10 times higher than that of pristine MoS 2 . It can be ascribed to the unique core-shell dual Z-scheme tandem heterojunction structure facilitates the transfer and spatial separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, and greatly prolongs the carrier lifetime. In addition, the long-term stability indicates the potential applications due to the core-shell dual Z-scheme tandem structure inhibiting the photocorrosion of sulfides.

Designing heterogeneous photocatalysts to enhance the activity of photo-induced ch arge separation for efficient degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous systems remains a significant challenge. A double Z-scheme Ag 3 PO 4 /MOF-In 2 S 3 /Bi 2 S 3 heterojunction containing trace Ag compositing was rationally designed and prepared, and fully characterized. Nitrogen adsorption–desorption experiments and Ultraviolet–Visible diffuse reflection spectroscopy (UV–Vis DRS) showed that the heterostructure expanded the surface area of single component, and had the highest absorption rate and the widest range of light. The presence of Ag in this heterostructure was demonstrated by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), which explained the strong resistance to photo corrosion and the highest current density exhibited by the composite in photocurrent response testing. The photocatalytic degradation of the antibiotic levofloxacin (LVX) was carried out, in which the degradation proportion of ABIS-Ⅲ sample was as high as 93.6 % within 90 min. Free radical scavenging assay and ESR experiment demonstrated that OH and O 2 – worked together to promote the degradation of LVX. Combined theoretical calculations with experimental results to reasonably construct a double Z-scheme to elaborate the carrier migration paths under light illumination. This novel double Z-scheme model heterojunction is expected to provide new ideas for the study of the photocatalytic mechanism of multiplicity complexes and the removal of antibiotic contaminants.

Inspired by natural photosynthesis, the design of novel Z-scheme photocatalytic systems holds great promise for improving photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. Here, we constructed a Z-scheme heterojunction to effectively improve the charge separation of TiO 2 /ZnIn 2 S 4 , with the N-doped C layer acting as an electron bridge. The T@NC-A/ZIS-72 heterojunctions demonstrated hydrogen production activity approximately 12.1 and 97.9 times higher than those of ZnIn 2 S 4 and TiO 2 @NC-A, respectively. The excellent electron migration ability of the carbon layer accelerated the photocatalytic hydrogen production performance. Our design introduces a component to provide a dedicated charge transport pathway, overcoming the inherent properties of the material and providing a new perspective for enhancing photocatalytic performance.

This article describes a photocatalytic (PC) hydrogen evolution technology that utilizes Pd/LaCoO3/PCN nanocomposites. In the preparation process, a narrow band gap pure LaCoO3 phase was obtained using a template method, which was subsequently combined with Pd-NPs loaded with pCN to form a Z-scheme heterojunction. The formation of this heterojunction resulted in a material with improved charge transfer characteristics and electron well performance. Under visible light irradiation, the composite material demonstrated a higher PC hydrogen evolution activity, resulting in a H2 yield of 40.2 μmol g–1 h–1. This yield represents a 259 times improvement over pure pCN materials, respectively. Furthermore, in the presence of a sacrificial agent, triethanolamine (TEOA), the production of H2 increased compared to methanol, likely due to the more vital binding ability of the amine-containing pCN to TEOA. Finally, the study found that Pd/LaCoO3/PCN nanocomposites displayed excellent stability and reusability during three continuous cycles. These results suggest that this material may become an efficient and sustainable technology for solar fuel production.

The residual antibiotics in water has become an environmental problem and is now deeply concerned. Z-scheme g-C 3 N 4 /defective ZnO heterojunction embellished with Au nanoparticles (Au-g-C 3 N 4 -ZnO) was synthesized by three sequential procedures, in-situ the preparation of g-C 3 N 4 , the guided cultivation of ZnO nanorods on g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets and the deposition of Au nanoparticles. The tailored photocatalysts, imbuing with inherent oxygen vacancies and outstanding light absorption capacity, exhibits unprecedented photocatalysis efficiency for tetracycline (TC) degradation. The formed Au-g-C 3 N 4 -ZnO implements broad-spectrum response, intensifying capacity of light harvest and utilization and promoting the separation and transmission efficiency of carriers. Remarkably, the photocatalytic degradation for TC by 2%Au-g-C 3 N 4 -ZnO achieves the best degradation efficiency of 74.7% within 30 min under Xe lamp irradiation. It displays excellent stability and acid or alkaline resistance. Besides, the TC degradation pathways are elucidated in line with intermediate degradation products. Finally, a novel Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic mechanism is rationally proposed based on the band structure, surface plasmon resonance effect, oxygen vacancies, charge transfer behaviors and active species generation.

Energy band structures greatly determine the charge separation and transfer properties in heterojunction photocatalysts and consequently their photocatalytic activities. Herein, a well-designed Z-scheme ZnIn 2 S 4 -S/CNTs/RP (ZIS-S/CNTs/RP) nanocomposite was fabricated according to an energy band alignment steering strategy to realize superior photocatalytic H 2 evolution performance. The ZIS-S/CNTs/RP nanocomposite shows an efficient photocatalytic H 2 evolution rate of 1639.9 μmol g -1 h −1 , which is noticeably higher than that of pristine red phosphorus (RP) and CNTs/RP and ZIS-S/RP composites, as well as those of the compared heterojunctions using bulk RP or ZnIn 2 S 4 . Owing to the modification of nanosized RP and the introduction of sulfur vacancies in ZnIn 2 S 4 , a tailored energy band alignment of the heterojunction with a higher reduction potential and larger Fermi level potential difference was achieved, which resulted in significantly increased photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiency and a more efficient Z-scheme charge transfer mechanism, thus promoting the photocatalytic activity of ZIS-S/CNTs/RP. This work aims to provide a novel effective strategy for the construction of high-performance heterojunction photocatalysts by energy band engineering.

The prepared samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS mappings, XPS, PL, and DRS. In addition, the optimal hydrothermal conditions for the preparation of BiPO 4 were explored with the azofuchsin solution and ciprofloxacin(CIP) solutions as the target pollutants. At the same time, the best calcination temperature and the best calcination time of the Er 3+ :Yb n Y 3−n Al 5 N x F y O 12−x−y and BiPO 4 were investigated. The results showed that the Z-scheme Er 3+ :Yb 0.5 Y 2.5 Al 5 N 0.01 F 0.01 O 11.98 /g-C 3 N 4 –Pt–BiPO 4 photocatalyst has strong redox ability, wide absorption range of visible light, and excellent separation effect of electron–hole pairs, which can efficiently degrade organic pollutants and antibiotic.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most toxic mycotoxin , is widely found in foods and animal feeds, and can pose a serious threat to our lives. A label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) immunosensor was fabricated for the sensitive detection of AFB1. A Z-scheme heterojunction of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) loaded on graphitic carbon nitride sheet and tungsten trioxide sphere composite (g-C 3 N 4 /Au/WO 3 ) acted as the highly sensitive platform. The g-C 3 N 4 /Au/WO 3 is capable, not only of immobilizing antibodies via Au NPs, but also enhancing the separation of electron-hole pairs due to its good energy band matching efficiency. The mechanism of photo-generated electron/hole transfer on g-C 3 N 4 /Au/WO 3 was explored using scavengers to eliminate active components. On this basis, an electron transfer pathway for the immunosensor was deduced. The PEC immunosensor displayed a linear concentration range from 1.0 pg mL −1 to 100 ng mL −1 and a low detection limit of 0.33 pg mL −1 (S/N = 3) for AFB1. Good reproducibility, stability, and specificity provide a solid foundation for the practical application of this immunosensor.

A novel P-doping CdS nanorods@NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH) Z-scheme photocatalyst (P-CdS@NiFe-LDH) is synthesized through hydrothermal and calcination strategies. Phosphorus doping could form a new Fermi level and reduce the intermediate band gap, thereby prolonging the lifetime of photo-generated electron carriers. The well-designed core–shell nanostructure is conducive to the rapid transfer of carriers. The formation of Z-scheme heterojunction can provide a higher redox potential and reduce the photo-corrosion phenomenon of CdS. The prepared 20% wt P-CdS@NiFe-LDH sample exhibits the highest hydrogen generation rate, which is about 39 times higher than that of the pristine CdS sample. In addition, the degradation rate of P-CdS@NiFe-LDH photocatalyst on bisphenol A is about 98% within 160 min irradiation. With the addition of H 2 O 2 , the photocatalytic degradation performance can be improved significantly due to the photo-Fenton reaction. The excellent catalytic performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of P-doping and Z-scheme heterojunction extending the photoresponse and promoting spatial charge separation. This research provides a new perspective for the design and synthesis of other Z-scheme heterojunction structure photocatalysts.

The construction of Z-scheme systems is a valid strategy to effectively enhance photocatalytic property in the field of photocatalysis . In the present work, a novel Z-scheme V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction photocatalyst was prepared via a simple one-pot solvothermal method for the first time. The phase structure, morphology and optical property of the as-prepared V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) composite were carried out by a series of characterizations. The photocatalytic property of V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction photocatalyst was investigated by photodegrading tetracycline (TC) under ultraviolet–visible light irradiation. The systematic studies indicate that the obtained V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction photocatalyst possesses superior photocatalytic performance toward TC removal. Furthermore, a Z-scheme photocatalytic degradation mechanism for TC over V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) composites was proposed. The results show that Z-scheme V 2 O 5 /NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe) heterojunction photocatalyst has potential application in the treatment of TC wastewater. This research will broaden the studies of NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)-based Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Z-scheme heterojunction catalysts are novel photocatalytic materials with wide application prospects because of their promise for the engineering of band structure to achieve high-speed hot carrier-transfer and strong redox tunability. A bridged-Au Z-scheme heterojunction catalyst (ZnO-Au-ZnAl 2 O 4 ) was synthesized using layered double hydroxides (LDHs) as the backbone. The atomistic and architectural structures, elemental composition and and visible-light absorption of as-prepared photocatalysts were systematically investigated and characterized. The presence of Z-scheme heterojunctions in ZnO-Au-ZnAl 2 O 4 can significantly improve the photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation with a reaction rate constant of 0.5503 h −1 (ZnO-Au(2%)-ZnAl 2 O 4 ), 27.2 times that of pure ZnO (0.0202 h −1 ) and 9.8 times that of ZnO-ZnAl 2 O 4 (0.0389 h −1 ). We further investigated the reaction kinetics of the heterostructure catalyst in the photodegradation of catechol , where the effect of the catalyst dosage, initial pH, irradiation intensity and reaction temperature were discussed. Based on the mechanism study in the capture and detection of photo-generated radicals and the calculation of band structures by DFT (work function), the successful construction of bridged-Au Z-scheme heterojunction was further proven. Au nanoparticles sandwiched between ZnO and ZnAl 2 O 4 play a vital role for the formation of a built-in electric field (BIEF) between ZnO and ZnAl 2 O 4 , which can significantly facilitate the transfer of hot carriers in the photocatalytic system.

A novel 0D/2D Z-scheme AgI/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 photocatalyst was prepared through the simple solvothermal and coprecipitation method, in which AgI nanoparticles were decorated on the surface of Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 nanosheets. The AgI/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 composites exhibited improved photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) in comparison with pristine Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 and AgI under simulated sunlight irradiation. Specifically, AB-30 (mass fraction of AgI, 30%) composite exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity of 97.6% towards RhB degradation under 120 min of simulated sunlight irradiation, and its RhB degradation rate constant ( k ) was approximately 20.7 and 2.9 times higher than that of pure Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 and AgI, respectively. The improvement of photocatalytic performance of as-prepared AgI/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 heterojunction composites was ascribed to the synergistic effect of wide visible-light harvest capacity and the rapid transfer and separation efficiency of charge carriers. UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) analysis validated that the introduction of AgI could broaden the visible-light absorption of AgI/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 composite. The results of electrochemical impedance (EIS), photocurrent response and photoluminescence spectra (PL) tests showed that AgI/Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 composite possessed the efficient separation and migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Trapping experiments of free radicals certified that ·O 2 − was the main reactive species in the process of degradation. And a probable photocatalytic mechanism of Z-scheme heterojunction between Bi 24 O 31 Br 10 and AgI was proposed.
