The synergetic effect of chemoradiotherapy achievement is encouraging but significantly hampered by the prevalence of hypoxia, leading to drug/radiation resistance in solid tumours. To address the problem and improve the efficiency of cancer therapy, a lamellar-structure multifunctional graphene oxide (GO) drug-delivery system with an average size of 243 nm, co-delivering of metronidazole (MI), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and FePt magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), was successfully designed and synthesized in the study. The integration of hypoxic drug carrier loading radiosensitizers and chemotherapeutic drugs simultaneously, combines the properties of hypoxia-sensitivity and chemoradiotherapy co-enhancement within a single nanoplatform, which is expected to provide new ideas for cancer treatment. Through in vitro tests, the hypoxia-sensitivity and cytotoxicity of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) of the nanocomposites (NCs) were proved. Moreover, the additive effect between MI, 5-FU and FePt MNPs in cytotoxicity and radiation sensitization aspects is disclosed. It performs an enhanced cell proliferation inhibition and makes up a self-amplified radiotherapy enhancement system that improves radiation efficiency and cell radiosensitivity simultaneously. In conclusion, the study recommended a novel and promising multifunctional nanoplatform which performed a self-amplified effect that activated chemoradiotherapy co-enhancement.

Enhancing spatial charge separation is an efficient strategy for the improvement of photocatalytic performance. Herein, an ammonia synthesis approach was proposed with an in-situ grown ternary GO/MoS 2 /Ag 3 PO 4 Z-scheme heterostructure photocatalytic system to promote spatial charge separation at surface & interface. Owing to the decent electrical and thermal conductivity properties of GO, ternary photocatalyst delivered evidently enlarged surface area, promoted spatial charges separation and significantly enhanced N 2 photo-fixation efficiency under irradiation of visible light. Through the synergistic effect of electron transportation on GO and the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs on heterojunction, the transportation and separation of photo-generated charges can be realized on both surface and interface, leading to better harvest and utilization of light illumination. The possible Z-scheme heterostructure mechanism for N 2 photo-fixation reaction was explored, which not only offers a new approach for design of heterostructure photocatalysis system but also provides a novel strategy for enhanced spatial charges separation.

A novel Z-scheme core–shell g-C3N4/MCNTs/BiOI heterojunction was successfully designed and fabricated through filling multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) with g-C3N4, followed by the loading of BiOI on the outer surface of the MCNTs. The structure–property relationship was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), photoluminescence spectra (PL), ESR probe tests and reactive species trapping measurements. The results show that the BiOI nanoparticles are uniformly loaded on the surface of the MCNTs which are fully filled by g-C3N4. The MCNTs connect the two semiconductors of g-C3N4 and BiOI, and serve as electron mediating conductors to promote the transfer of the photo-generated electrons, thereby constructing a Z-scheme heterojunction between g-C3N4 and BiOI. With this unique structure, enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activities are achieved because of the synergistic effect of light harvesting and improved separation efficiency of photo-generated carriers.

A Z-scheme TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterostructure system was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The Z-scheme TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by using a simple impregnation method. The structure and surface morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The optical and electrochemical properties were characterized by UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), photoluminescence (PL) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS).The results indicated that the Z-scheme heterojunction between TiO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 was successful established and the optimal photocatalytic activity was achieved when the mass ratio of TiO 2 to g-C 3 N 4 is 10:1. The degradation rate of RhB (20 mg/L, 50 mL) was 82.79% within 120 min simulated sunlight irradiation. After adding PMS to 10% TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction photocatalysts , the reaction rate constant (k) of the TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 -PMS system is about 11.39 times as large as that with 10% TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 system. Moreover, the free radical trapping experiments results demonstrated that h + and SO 4 − · were the main active species in the TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 -PMS system.

Antibiotics accumulate because of their extensive use and difficult degradation, which can lead to the formation of novel antibiotic resistant genes and bacteria, which can cause damage to human health and the ecological environment. Here, we designed a novel photo-electro-Fenton-like (PEF-like) system with bifunctional Z-scheme WO3/g-C3N4 for accelerated decomposition and enhanced mineralization of stubborn ciprofloxacin (CIP). This PEF-like system, accompanied by visible light activation, with the optimal WO3/g-C3N4 (1 : 6) composite exhibited outstanding removal efficiency of CIP compared with a single photocatalysis system and electro-Fenton-like (EF-like) system, and the elimination rate reached 100% within 2 h under visible light irradiation. The WO3/g-C3N4 (1 : 6) composite displayed the strongest visible light absorption, the weakest recombination of electron–hole pairs, the highest photocurrent response and the lowest electrochemical impedance compared with pristine WO3 and g-C3N4. Significantly, WO3/g-C3N4 (1 : 6) played a dual role in the PEF-like system which could not only produce ˙OH, ˙O2− and h+ during photocatalysis, but could also generate ˙OH through the reactions of W5+ and photoexcited electrons of g-C3N4 for the decomposition of H2O2. It was worth noting that this bifunctional PEF-like catalyst with photoelectric synergy could replace Fe2+ in a conventional electro-Fenton reaction and the pH range was broadened while still maintaining efficient degradation efficiency in the range of 2–9. The PEF-like system maintained a high elimination rate of CIP after five consecutive runs which revealed that it possessed prominent stability and feasibility.

The electron mediator plays an important role in charge transfer in an artificial all-solid-state Z-scheme system. According to the energy band theory, a visible light photocatalytic system was designed by using reduced graphene oxide (RGO) as the electron mediator. The as-prepared g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 MoO 6 composite was synthesized by hydrothermal process, and it was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen sorption , Raman spectroscopy , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The photocatalytic activity of the g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 MoO 6 composite was evaluated by analyzing the degradation of Rhodamine B (Rh B) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic degradation rate of Rh B for the g -C 3 N 4 /RGO/Bi 2 MoO 6 composite was 8.73 and 5.19 times for the Bi 2 MoO 6 and g -C 3 N 4 /Bi 2 MoO 6 composite, respectively. The matched Fermi level structure provided the favorable interfacial charge transfer from the Bi 2 MoO 6 Photosystem II (PS II) to the g -C 3 N 4 Photosystem I (PS I) to promote the photocatalytic degradation of Rh B, suggesting that RGO was a suitable electron mediator in the Z-scheme system. The present study can provide a scientific basis for the rational design and realization of the Z-scheme system in environmental application.

This study presents a novel approach for synthesizing C–ZnO/CdS graded nanorods derived from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be applied as a catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from pure water. Porous C-doped ZnO was prepared by a self-template method using imidazole-like metal–organic backbone (ZIF-L) as a precursor through a two-step calcination method. CdS nanoparticles were deposited on ZIF-L surface by chemical deposition . The two-step calcination method introduced elemental C, and the unique architecture of ZIF-L played an essential role in forming the hierarchical structure of the porous ZnO nanorods. Compared with other ZnO/CdS catalysts, the C-doped ZnO/CdS graded nanorods exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity for hydrogen production . The highest hydrogen production rate of 20.25 mmol g −1 h −1 with an apparent quantum yield (AQY) of 24.7% at 365 nm obtained over C–ZnO/CdS with Pt as co-catalyst, which was 24.4 and 65.3 times higher than that over CdS (0.83 mmol g −1 h −1 ) and ZnO (0.31 mmol g −1 h −1 ), respectively. This outcome was attributed to (i) the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction that significantly promoted the separation and migration of photogenerated electron–hole pairs; (ii) C doping that reduced the bandgap of ZnO and broadened its spectral response range; and (iii) the ordered arrangement of porous nanorods that effectively reduced the recombination rate of the electron–hole pairs.

Constructing Z-scheme heterojunctions is considered as an effective strategy to obtain catalysts of high efficiency in electron–hole separation in photocatalysis. Unfortunately, suitable heterojunctions are difficult to fabricate because the direct interaction between two semiconductors may lead to unpredictable negative effects such as electron scattering or electron trapping due to the existence of defects which causes the formation of new substances. Furthermore, the van der Waals contact between two semiconductors also results in bad electron diffusion. In this work, a MOF-derived carbon material as a Z-scheme photocatalyst was synthesized via one-step thermal treatment of MoS2 dots @Fe-MOF (MIL-101). Under visible light irradiation, the well-constructed Z-scheme (MoS2, γ-Fe2O3)/graphene photocatalyst shows 2-fold photocatalytic oxygen evolution activity (4400 μmol g−1 h−1) compared to that of γ-Fe2O3/graphene (2053 μmol g−1 h−1). Based on ultraviolet photoelectron spectrometry (UPS), Mott–Schottky plot, photocurrent and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) results, the photo-induced electrons from the conduction band of γ-Fe2O3 could transport quickly to the valence band of MoS2 via highly conductive graphene as an electron transport channel, which could significantly enhance the electron–hole separation efficiency as well as photocatalytic performance.

Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water splitting presents an attractive prospect in dealing with the energy crisis, but the low efficiency of charge separation and migration still seriously hinders its further practical application. Here, an acidified boron-doped g-C 3 N 4 (HBCNN) and cobalt porphyrin metal organic frameworks (CoPMOF) self-assembled two-dimensional and two-dimensional (2D/2D) hybrid photocatalyst is fabricated successfully. The resultant HBCNN/CoPMOF with optimum ratio exhibits a superior H 2 evolution rate of 33.17 mmol g −1 h −1 , which is 3.04 and 100.50 times higher than the single HBCNN and CoPMOF, respectively. It is found that a coordination connection has formed between CoPMOF and HBCNN through Co-N bond, and the interfacial Co-N bond then forms a pseudo-gap in the up-spin channel of electronic states, establishing an electron-hole separation mechanism. It is this electron-hole separation mechanism that contributes to a Z-scheme transport mode of photogenerated carriers, which greatly promotes the photocatalytic H2 production performance of HBCNN/CoPMOF heterostructure. This work may provide an idea for the design of heterojunction to improve the photocatalytic performance by constructing electron-hole separation through interfacial bond.

As a kind of metal-free organic semiconductor photocatalyst, g-C3N4 has been widely explored for use in photocatalysis. However, the low quantum yield, small absorption range, and poor conductivity limit its large-scale application. Introducing another kind of semiconductor, particularly an oxide semiconductor, can result in some unexpected properties, such as an improved change transfer, enhanced light absorption, and better conductivity. In this work, CuO/g-C3N4 is successfully prepared through an impregnation and post-calcination method. A series of measurements support the formation of an organic-inorganic hybrid p–n heterojunction at the CuO (p-type) and g-C3N4 (n-type) interface. Furthermore, the photoactivity of the composite is evaluated via photocatalytic NO removal and the visible degradation of rhodamine B (RhB). Results show that the photocatalytic properties of CuO/g-C3N4 are almost twice as high as those of g-C3N4. In comparative tests, the photocatalytic degradation performance of Mix-CuO/g-C3N4 (the mixture of CuO and g-C3N4 nanosheets prepared by mechanically mixing) is even lower than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation of RhB is only 19.7% under visible light after 30 min of irradiation. The improvement in the photoactivity of CuO/g-C3N4 results from the built-in electric field close to the formed p–n heterojunction, which switches the electron transfer mechanism from a double-charge transfer mechanism to a Z-scheme mechanism. In addition, the formed p–n heterojunction favors charge transfer, and thus the photocatalytic performance is significantly improved.

The traditional drying method of Fresh Z. bungeanum has the problems of long drying time and serious loss of nutrients, which seriously restricts its efficient and high-value utilization. This study utilized a self-developed penetrating microwave infrared hot air rolling bed dryer (PMIHRBD) to optimize the drying process and compare microwave hot air drying, microwave pretreated hot-air drying (PM t -HD), and freeze drying with hot air drying (HD). The results showed that the drying time of PM 10 -HD was 48 % shorter than that of HD, and the contents of TFC, TPC and TAC were increased by 17.6 %, 23.7 % and 20.7 %, the yield of essential oil was increased by 59.6 %, and the antioxidant activity was significantly enhanced. According to the identification of VOCs, hydrocarbons, esters and alcohols played a major role in the formation of Z. bungeanum odor, and HD samples had similar characteristics to PM 10 -HD samples. For flavor, PM 10 -HD showed a higher five-flavor richness than other drying processes. In summary, PM 10 -HD provided a fast and efficient drying process for harvesting high quality Z. bungeanum .

Nano molybdenum disulfide (Nano-MoS 2 ) can be as a photocatalyst for antibiotic removal under visible light. However, the low energy of visible light and limited radicals restrict the applications of nano-MoS 2 . In this study, ceria dioxide (CeO 2 ) rich in adsorbed oxygen was introduced into MoS 2 @Z (MoS 2 @Zeolite) to synthesize full-spectrum CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Z photocatalysts (CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Zs). The CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Z-3 (Ce: 1.5 mmol; Mo: 3.5 mmol) shows the best photocatalytic ability (98.32%) for tetracycline within 150 min, which is 18.20% improvement over MoS 2 @Z. The UV–vis diffuse reflection spectra of photocatalysts shows that the ultraviolet absorption ability of CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Z-3 improved when CeO 2 was introduced. The active species trapping experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) test prove h + and superoxide radicals (•O 2 − ) are the main active species, and CeO 2 rich in adsorbed oxygen improves the amounts of •O 2 − in photocatalytic process. Moreover, singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), producing by oxygen vacancies of CeO 2 , also plays an important role. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to full-spectrum (200 nm–800 nm) absorption performance , improved content of •O 2 − , and electron-hole (e − /h + ) pairs separation. After five times recycle, the photodegradation efficiency of CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Z-3 only decreased by 2.59%. Meantime, the proposed three photocatalytic pathways show that tetracycline eventually degraded into small organics (like C 5 H 8 O 3 ), H 2 O and CO 2 by dehydration, demethylation, deamination, dihydroxylation, deamidation, ring-opening reaction and carbonylation . The results show that CeO 2 /MoS 2 @Z-3 may become a high efficiency, stable, and promising photocatalyst for tetracycline wastewater treatment .
