Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world, and its early detection is vital to saving the lives of patients. In this research, a novel label-free photoelectrochemical immunosensor was designed for sensitive detection of prostate specific antigen (PSA). Ag 2 S sensitized on Ag/AgBr/BiOBr heterojunction could effectively inhibit photogenic holes recombination and improve photocurrent response and sensitivity. Ascorbic acid was an effective electron donor, which can effectively eliminate photo-generated holes. The photocurrent reduced linearly with the logarithm of PSA concentration ranged from 0.001 to 50 ng·mL −1 and the limit of detection was 0.25 pg·mL −1 . The designed sensor had the advantages of wide linear range, good stability, high reproducibility, and good selectivity. This study not only provided a method for efficient and sensitive detection of PSA, but also provided valuable reference ideas for the detection of other tumor markers.

A ternary dual Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst composed of Ag 3 PO 4 , AgBr and g-C 3 N 4 was prepared by a facile chemical deposition method. Scanning electron microscope equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray, X-ray diffraction, diffusive reflective spectrophotometry and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were carried out to characterize the morphology, element and structure properties of the photocatalysts. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by the photoelectrochemical tests and the degradation of tetracycline (TC). The results indicated that the composite Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr-20%g-C 3 N 4 exhibited the best photocatalytic activity in terms of the photocurrent response and the degradation of TC under visible light irradiation. The degradation rate of TC over the ternary photocatalyst was 0.12 min −1 , which was 2.55 and 3.24 times faster than that over Ag 3 PO 4 /AgBr and Ag 3 PO 4 , respectively. During photocatalysis, metallic Ag could be formed and served as the electron transfer mediator to build the dual Z-scheme heterojunction by bridging the recombination of electrons and holes. By this manner, more efficient separation of photo-generated carriers and better redox ability could be obtained, consequently promoting the photocatalytic activity. Additionally, the trapping experiments verified that O 2 − and h + played prominent roles in the photocatalytic processes, while the impact of OH on the removal efficiency was relatively small.

Hydrogen is known as an alternative new energy for its advantages of non-pollution and high calorific value, and photocatalysis technology is regarded as one of the most effective means to produce hydrogen in recent years. In this topic, aiming at the poor photoresponse, fast combination of photo-induced carriers and unstable structure of traditional photocatalysts, the three-dimensional porous g-C 3 N 4 /graphene oxide framework was constructed by compounding two-dimensional graphene oxide and two-dimensional g-C 3 N 4 via hard template (SiO 2 nanoparticles) method and selective chemical etching. Then, silver bromide nanoparticles , a superior photosensitizer, were immobilized on the three-dimensional porous framework to construct the three-dimensional porous g-C 3 N 4 /graphene oxide-AgBr photocatalyst with Ag plasmas by solvothermal method. Research showed that this novel photocatalyst based on Z-scheme heterostructure (GO-AgBr), p-n heterostructure (g-C 3 N 4 -AgBr) and Ag plasmas presented high-efficient visible-light driven hydrogen evolution (3.69 mmol/g/h) at the absence of Pt co-catalyst, which is higher than the majority of existing catalysts, and it also possessed strong stability on its activity and structure. Accordingly, the enhanced hydrogen evolution and photostability were attributed to the highly ordered structure and fast interfacial electron conduction of three-dimensional porous framework, superior photosensitivity of AgBr and synergistic effect of Ag plasmas. Therefore, this study provided a potential method for exploitation of hydrogen energy.

Effective and suitable utilization of solar energy was achieved using a full-spectrum-response photocatalyst AgBr/Cs x WO 3 , applied in the photocatalytic and photochromic field. Benefitting from near-infrared (NIR) absorption ability of Cs x WO 3 , AgBr/Cs x WO 3 exhibits enhanced visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) driven photocatalytic activity. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectra (PL), and the photoelectrochemical analysis, AgBr and Cs x WO 3 formed a Z-scheme system at the interface to efficiently separate and transfer photo-induced electrons at a fast rate. The quenching experiment and the electron spin resonance (ESR) tests indicated that the photocatalytic reaction is activated by the production of superoxide radicals. Furthermore, the photochromic analysis to different light exhibits the AgBr/Cs x WO 3 heterostructure is stable under visible light with negligible photodeposition of AgBr, and has excellent double photochromic activity with visible-shielding effect of AgBr to Ag 0 and infrared-blocking effect of Cs x WO 3 under ultraviolet light. This research provides new insights into the manufacture of energy-efficient and environmentally friendly materials that provide excellent performance in both thermal insulation and decontamination.

Graphite carbon nitride (g-C 3 N 4 ) has a strong photocatalytic capability to degrade ionic organic compounds due to its unique electrical structure with numerous marginal amino groups. A photocatalyst was fabricated via a facile in-situ sedimentation–calcine–hydrothermal method by anchoring AgBr and Bi 2 WO 6 onto the framework of phosphorus-doped g-C 3 N 4 (PCAB). The photocatalyst has been proven to have good photocatalytic degradation effect on different ionic organic pollutants. The removal rate of tetracycline, the target pollutant, can reach 99.2%, which was 1.83 times higher than that of g-C 3 N 4 within 60 min under visible light. Moreover, the degradation rates of dyes containing azo bonds and -SO 3 H can reach 100% within 20 min, as determined by the electrical relationship between the catalyst and the dye. The excellent performance can be attributed to the synergistic effect of the formation of mid-gap in g-C 3 N 4 after phosphorus doping, improvements in charge carrier transfer and the low recombination rate based on the construction of dual Z-scheme heterojunction and Ag bridge. In addition, cycling experiments and characterizations illustrated the high stability and reusability of PCAB. The main active species during photocatalytic process was·O 2 − , whereas h + and·OH played a minimal role. Ultimately, a dual Z-scheme mechanism was proposed to explain the photocatalytic reaction.

To improve the visible-light photocatalytic activity and photo-carriers separation of BiVO 4 , highly efficient Z-scheme structured visible-light photocatalyst Ag@AgBr/BiVO 4 /Co 3 O 4 was constructed by selective doping of Ag@AgBr and Co 3 O 4 on {010} and {110} facets of BiVO 4 . Due to the different energy levels of conduction band (CB) and valence band (VB) between {010} facet and {110} facet, BiVO 4 could act as the ‘pre-separation channel’ to achieve spatial charge separation. Such pre-separation channel effect improved photo-electrons transfer from BiVO 4 {010} facets to electron mediator (Ag°) for subsequent recombination with holes of AgBr. Thus, the photo-induced electrons of AgBr could be accumulated on CB for reduction of O 2 to O 2 − . On the other hand, holes of BiVO 4 accumulated on {110} facets were captured by deriving-hole-type co-catalysts Co 3 O 4 for organics oxidation. In addition, Ag° not only served as the electron mediator of Z-scheme but also improve the visible-light utilization due to SPR-effect. Being attributed to the synergistic effect of pre-separation channel and deriving-hole-type co-catalysts, Z-scheme structured Ag@AgBr/BiVO 4 /Co 3 O 4 (0.15 wt%) achieved high photodegradation rate of organics. Even after 9th cycles, Ag@AgBr/BiVO 4 /Co 3 O 4 (0.15 wt%) could still photodegraded more than 90% of OTC within 24 min. DRS, PL and photoelectrochemical analyses also confirmed the improvement of visible-light utilization and charge separation of Ag@AgBr/BiVO 4 /Co 3 O 4 . The radical trapping experiments and EPR demonstrated that both superoxide radical ( O 2 − ) and holes (h + ) were main active species for organics photodegradation. In summary, this work not only constructed a highly efficient Z-scheme structured visible-light photocatalyst, but also provided a new method to diminish the photo-carriers recombination by pre-separation channel and hole-sink effects.

Although reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based photocatalyst composites have been intensively developed during the past few years, the influence of reduction extent of rGO on the photocatalytic performance of the rGO-based composite has virtually not been investigated due to some technical limitations, such as the poor water dispersibility of rGO and low reduction selectivity of the hydrothermal method, which make it difficult to control the reduction extent of rGO in these composites. Herein, we used a facile room-temperature method to synthesize Ag/AgX (X = Cl, Br)/rGO photocatalyst composites as a model to study the effect of reduction extent of rGO on the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst. It was found that the photocatalytic activities of both Ag/AgCl/PrGO and Ag/AgBr/PrGO systems had an optimized threshold of the reduction extent of photoreduced GO (PrGO). More importantly, due to the different conductive band values of AgCl and AgBr, the optimized thresholds in the two systems were at different PrGO reduction extents, based on which we proposed that the favorable energy band matching between AgX and PrGO in the two systems played a crucial role in obtaining high photocatalysis performance. Besides, the photocatalytic reaction of the Ag/AgBr based system was confirmed to be a pseudo-second-order kinetics reaction rather than pseudo-first-order kinetics reaction. The new insights presented in this work provided useful information on the design and development of a more sophisticated photocatalyst, and can also be applied to many other applications.
