Abstract
In this work, we proposed an efficient heterostructure photocatalyst by integrating the ferroelectric BaTiO3 (BTO) layer with the semiconductor MoO3 layer, availing the ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO3 and high generation of photoinduced charge carriers in the MoO3 layer. The effect of MoO3 layer thickness (tMoO3) on the photocatalytic efficiency of the BTO/MoO3 heterostructures is found to be optimum at tMoO3 = 67 nm as tMoO3 varies from 40 to 800 nm. The BTO/MoO3 heterostructure with tMoO3 = 67 nm exhibits a high efficiency of 86% for the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) under the exposure of UV-visible light for 60 min. The photocatalysis rate kinetics analysis reveals that the rate constant in the heterostructure is 1.7 times of pure BTO and 3.2 times of pure MoO3 films. The enhanced photocatalytic activity in the heterostructures is attributed to the electric field-driven carrier separation due to the ferroelectric polarization and the heterojunction band bending. The charge coupling effect between BaTiO3 and MoO3 is evident from the current-voltage characteristics. The maximum lattice strain in the heterostructure with tMoO3 = 67 nm as evident from X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and photoluminescence (PL) analysis further confirms the charge transfer between the layers. The degradation as well as decolorization efficiency of the BTO/MoO3 heterostructure is higher than that of pure BTO and MoO3 films. Radical trapping experiments reveal that electrons are the major contributors to the photocatalytic activity of the BTO/MoO3 heterostructure. The reusability test shows only a reduction of 5% in the efficiency of the heterostructure after five photocatalysis cycles. The heterostructure can also efficiently decompose the other dyes such as rose bengal and methyl violet. Thus, our findings prove that an efficient and reusable photocatalyst can be designed through the integration of the ferroelectrics with the semiconductor layers.

Abstract
The high recombination rates of photogenerated electron-holes greatly inhibit the catalytic activity of semiconductor photocatalysts. Herein, the heterojunctions of the flower-like g-C3N4/BiOBr composites were synthesized as photocatalysts by a simple hydrothermal process. The X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were utilized to characterize the sample's structure and light absorption properties. The results demonstrated that BiOBr-g-C3N4-4:1 showed excellent photocatalytic properties and 96.6% of bisphenol (BPA) was removed in 120 min with illumination of visible light due to its narrower band gap than that of pure BiOBr. BiOBr offer little electrons during the photocatalytic reaction. Moreover, the heterostructure between BiOBr and g-C3N4 facilitates the separation of photogenerated carriers. Excellent stability was exhibited after five cyclic degradation of methyl orange (MO) with the illumination of visible light. The active species trapping experiment indicated that superoxide radical anions (O2•-) and hole (h+) have a great effect on the reaction. A possible mechanism was proposed to explain the whole process of photocatalytic reaction.

Abstract
BiOI is a visible photocatalyst towards organic pollutant. In this work, biomass waste (withered typha grass) was used to fabricate nitrogen-doped hierarchical carbon (NHC) by an one-step carbonization route. Then NHC provided a good carrier to load the BiOI semiconductor materials by a green simple co-precipitation method, after adding NaOH solution, the irregular microspheres BiOI/NHC was gradually etched by OH- to form the tremella-like Bi4O5I2/NHC. The well-defined tremella-like Bi4O5I2/NHC invested adequate interface and high particular surface range (SBET: 66 m2 g-1), which is higher than pure BiOI (22 m2 g-1) and Bi4O5I2 (17 m2 g-1). Multiple synergistic effects, such as high SBET can give more dynamic destinations, the special tremella-like structure can assimilate more reflected occurrence light of other nanosheets, low I content can increase the conduction/valence band gap of semiconductor materials and NHC can act as an electron acceptor, making as-prepared Bi4O5I2/NHC composite ideal candidates for photocatalysis. The degradation rate of Bi4O5I2/NHC reaches up to 87.4% of methyl orange in 2 h, which is about 2 times higher than BiOI and Bi4O5I2. Therefore, this work gives a technique to link NHC derived from biomass waste to Bi4O5I2 with highly-efficiency photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Visible light-driven Ag2S-grafted NiO-ZnO ternary nanocomposites are synthesized using a facile and cost-effective homogeneous precipitation method. The structural, morphological, and optical properties were extensively studied, confirming the formation of ternary nanocomposites. The surface area of the synthesized nanocomposites was calculated by electrochemical double-layer capacitance (C dl). Ternary Ag2S/NiO-ZnO nanocomposites showed excellent visible light photocatalytic property which increases further with the concentration of Ag2S. The maximum photocatalytic activity was shown by 8% Ag2S/NiO-ZnO with a RhB degradation efficiency of 95%. Hydroxyl and superoxide radicals were found to be dominant species for photodegradation of RhB, confirmed by scavenging experiments. It is noteworthy that the recycling experiments demonstrated high stability and recyclable nature of the photocatalyst. Moreover, the electrochemical results indicated that the prepared nanocomposite exhibits remarkable activity toward detection of acetone. The fabricated nanocomposite sensor showed high sensitivity (4.0764 μA mmol L-1 cm-2) and a lower detection limit (0.06 mmol L-1) for the detection of acetone. The enhanced photocatalytic and the sensing property of Ag2S/NiO-ZnO can be attributed to the synergistic effects of strong visible light absorption, excellent charge separation, and remarkable surface properties.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) is a narrow band gap semiconductor which can be driven by visible irradiation. In order to efficiently separate photo-generated carriers and utilization of visible light, a facile solvothermal approach was used to synthesize a novel AgI loading BiOI 3D hierarchical composite (AgI-BiOI). The AgI-BiOI with Ag and Bi molar ratio of 1:8 (AgI-BiOI (1-8)) showed great enhancement for photocatalytic degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) with pseudo-first degradation rate constant about 3.7 or 14.5 times than that of pristine BiOI or AgI under simulated solar light. This synergistic enhancement for BPA degradation on AgI-BiOI(1-8) is mainly ascribed to enhancing the light absorption intensity and accelerating photo-generated carriers separation due to the formation of AgI-BiOI heterojunction. Free radical quenching experiments proved that positive holes (h+) and superoxide (O2•-) radicals were dominantly responsible for the degradation of BPA rather than singlet oxygen (1O2) or hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The AgI-BiOI(1-8) hardly showed any ecotoxicity to C. elegans through lethal experiments. The luminance bacteria acute toxicity of degradation intermediates of BPA increased before 30 min then reduced significantly with reaction. The good durability and environmental-friendly characteristics make AgI-BiOI(1-8) catalyst to be a good solar light-driven candidate.

Abstract
Layered heterojunction structure with larger interface region for electron migration has attracted much attention in recent years. In this work, layered α-Fe2O3/Bi2WO6 heterojunctions with strong interlayer interaction were successfully synthesized through a facile in situ growth method. The strong interaction between α-Fe2O3 and Bi2WO6 had resulted in excellent photoelectrochemical performance. It was found that such structure promoted the interfacial photogenerated charges separation according to EIS and Tafel analysis, except for the expansion of visible-light absorption range. PL and TRPL characterizations further demonstrated that the recombination ratio of photoexcited electron-hole pairs was greatly reduced. The toluene photocatalytic degradation tests had showed that α-Fe2O3/Bi2WO6 composites exhibited much well activity under visible-light irradiation. Especially, 4%-Fe2O3/Bi2WO6 sample displayed the highest photocatalytic activity, which was around 3 and 4 times higher than that of pure Bi2WO6 and α-Fe2O3. Based on ESR results and free radical trapping experiments, hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and holes (h+) were regarded as the main active species. The establishment of Fe2O3/Bi2WO6 with layered heterojunctions could provide new insights into the construction of novel photocatalysts.

Abstract
Inspired by donor-acceptor (D-A) polymers in organic solar cell and the extended conjugation effect, a conceptual design of D-π-A-type mesoporous carbon nitride with benzene or thiophene as a π-spacer is proposed as an efficient photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. The photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by a one-pot thermopolymerization based on nucleophilic substitution and a Schiff-base chemical reaction. On the molecular level, the insertion of an in-plane benzene as a π-spacer by forming covalent bonds C=N (acceptor) and C-N (donor) interrupts the continuity of tri-s-triazine units and maintains the intrinsic π-π conjugated electronic system. Synchronously, the enlarged electron delocalization and the intramolecular charge transfer induced by polarization provide force-directed migration of electrons, leading to boosted optical absorption capability and enhanced photogenerated carrier separation. With the synergistic effects of the mesoporous structure and excellent optical and electronic properties, a fivefold increase in the H2 evolution rate compared with that of pristine g-C3 N4 was achieved with robust performance. In addition, other simple aromatic heterocyclic compounds (e.g., pyridine, thiophene and furan)-based D-π-A structures with a higher hydrogen evolution rate (up to sevenfold increase) were also explored to broaden the application for the design of novel photocatalysts.

Abstract
A novel and effective photocatalyst namely titanium dioxide doped with zinc elements stacked on reed straw biochar which was pretreated by acid (Zn-TiO2/pBC) with visible light response was successfully prepared by a simple modified sol-gel method firstly. The prepared samples were characterized by scanning microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption-desorption (BET) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS). The photocatalytic activity of Zn-TiO2/pBC was further investigated through the photodegradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX). Compared with TiO2 and TiO2/pBC, Zn-TiO2/pBC had better photocatalytic activity under visible light due to zinc elements effectively inhibiting the agglomeration of TiO2 and hindering the combination of photogenerated electrons and holes. The removal rate of SMX could reach 81.21%, which was 1.37 times higher than that of TiO2/pBC(300). Three common anions (SO42-, Cl-, NO3-) existing in the Yellow River exhibited detrimental effects on the SMX photodegradation to a certain degree. It might mainly occurred hydroxylation, cleavage of SN bond and opening of isoxazole ring reactions during the photodegradation process of SMX. Meanwhile, there might be four main degradation pathways proposed throw the LC/MS/MS analysis. Finally, good reusability and stability illustrated Zn-TiO2/pBC owned good practicality and feasibility for removal of organic pollutants in environment remediation area.

Abstract
Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 heterojunction catalysts were prepared by treating Bi2MoO6 sheets with aqueous NaHCO3 solutions at room temperature. All the Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 heterojunctions exhibited higher activities than pristine Bi2MoO6 in the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange, and ciprofloxacin under visible-light irradiation, and the most active photocatalyst was found to be the one with a C/Bi molar ratio of ∼1/2.3. Relevant samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, N2 adsorption-desorption, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy. The higher activity of Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 than pristine Bi2MoO6 is explained by the enhanced separation and transfer of photogenerated electron/hole pairs, as verified by transient photocurrent densities, photoluminescence spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Photogenerated holes (h+) and superoxide radical anions (•O2 -) were found to be the main active species. The good reusability of Bi2O2CO3/Bi2MoO6 was testified by cycling degradation of RhB and tetracycline hydrochloride.
