Abstract
Herein, we successfully synthesized Hf/Zr co-doping on Fe2O3 nanorod photocatalyst by a hydrothermal process and quenching methods. The synergistic roles of Hf and Zr double-doping on the bacteria inactivation test and decomposition of organic pollutants were investigated in detail for the 1 wt% CoOx loaded Hf/Zr-Fe2O3 NRs and CuOx/CoOx loaded Hf/Zr-Fe2O3 NRs photocatalyst. Initially, the rod-like porous morphology of the Hf/Zr-doped Fe2O3 NRs was produced via a hydrothermal method at various Hf co-doping (0, 2, 4, 7 and 10)%. Further, CoOx and CuOx loaded by a wet impregnation approach on the Hf/Zr-Fe2O3 NRs and a highly photoactive Hf(4)/Zr-Fe2O3 [CoOx/CuOx] NRs photocatalyst were developed. After the Hf(4)/Zr-Fe2O3 [CoOx/CuOx] NRs photocatalyst treatment, the Bio-TEM imagery of bacterial cells showed extensive morphological deviations in cell membranes. Hf(4)/Zr-Fe2O3 NR achieved 84.1% orange II degradation upon 3 h illumination, which is higher than that of Hf-Fe2O3 and Zr-Fe2O3 (68.7 and 73.5%, respectively). Additionally, the optimum sample, Hf(4)/Zr-Fe2O3 [CoOx/CuOx] photocatalyst, exhibited 95.5% orange II dye degradation after light radiation for 3 h. Optimized Hf(4)/Zr-Fe2O3 [CoOx/CuOx] catalysts exhibited 99.9% and 99.7% inactivation of E. coli and S. aureus with 120 min, respectively. Further, scavenger experiments revealed that the electrons are the primary responsible species for photocatalytic kinetics. This work will provide a rapid method for the development of high photocatalytic performance materials for bacterial disinfection and organic degradation.

Abstract
MxCo3-xO4 co-catalysed photoanodes with high potential for improvement in PEC water-oxidizing properties are reported. However, it is difficult to control the recombination of photogenerated carriers at the interface between the catalyst and cocatalyst. Here, an ultra-thin MgO passivation layer was introduced into the MxCo3-xO4/BiVO4 coupling system to construct a ternary composite photoanode Co2AlO4/MgO/BiVO4. The photocurrent density of the electrode is 3.52 mA cm-2, which is 3.2 times that of BiVO4 (at 1.23 V vs. RHE). The photocurrent is practically increased by 0.86 mA cm-2 and 1.56 mA cm-2 in comparison with that of Co2AlO4/BiVO4 and MgO/BiVO4 electrodes, respectively. Meanwhile, the Co2AlO4/MgO/BiVO4 electrode has the highest charge separation efficiency, the lowest charge transfer resistance (Rct) and best stability. The excellent PEC performance could be attributed to the inhibitive effect provided by the MgO passivation layer that efficaciously suppresses the electron-hole recombination at the interface and drives the hole transfer outward, which is induced by Co2AlO4 to capture the electrode/electrolyte interface for efficient water oxidation reaction. In order to understand the origin of this improvement, first-principles calculations with density functional theory (DFT) were performed. The theoretical investigation converges to our experimental results. This work proposes a novel idea for restraining the recombination of photogenerated carriers between interfaces and the rational design of efficient photoanodes.

Abstract
Efficient carrier separation is important for improving photoelectrochemical water splitting. Here, the morphology modification and band structure engineering of Ta3N5 are accomplished by doping it with Cu and Zr using a two-step method for the first time. The initially interstitially-doped Cu atoms act as anchors to interact with subsequently doped Zr atoms under the influence of differences in electronegativity. This interaction results in Cu,Zrg-Ta3N5 having a dense morphology and higher crystallinity, which helps to reduce carrier recombination at grain boundaries. Furthermore, the gradient doping of Zr generates a band edge energy gradient, which significantly enhances bulk charge separation efficiency. Therefore, a photoanode based on Cu,Zrg-Ta3N5 delivers an onset potential of 0.38 VRHE and a photocurrent density of 8.9 mA cm-2 at 1.23 VRHE. Among all the Ta3N5-based photoanodes deposited on FTO, a Cu,Zrg-Ta3N5-based photoanode has the lowest onset potential and highest photocurrent. The novel material morphology regulation and band edge position engineering strategies described herein provide new ideas for the preparation of other semiconductor nanoparticles to improve the photoelectrochemical water splitting performance.

Abstract
Advances in the rational design of semiconductor-electrocatalyst photoelectrodes provide robust driving forces for improving energy conversion and quantitative analysis, while a deep understanding of elementary processes remains underwhelming due to the multistage interfaces involved in semiconductor/electrocatalyst/electrolyte. To address this bottleneck, we have constructed carbon-supported nickel single atoms (Ni SA@C) as an original electron transport layer with catalytic sites of Ni-N4 and Ni-N2O2. This approach illustrates the combined effect of photogenerated electron extraction and the surface electron escape ability of the electrocatalyst layer in the photocathode system. Theoretical and experimental studies reveal that Ni-N4@C, with excellent oxygen reduction reaction catalytic activity, is more beneficial for alleviating surface charge accumulation and facilitating electrode-electrolyte interfacial electron-injection efficiency under a similar built-in electric field. This instructive method enables us to engineer the microenvironment of the charge transport layer for steering the interfacial charge extract and reaction kinetics, providing a great prospect for atomic scale materials to enhance photoelectrochemical performance.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) Nb-based oxynitrides are promising visible-light-responsive photocatalysts for the water splitting reaction, but their photocatalytic activity is degraded by the formation of reduced Nb5+ species and O2- vacancies. To understand the influence of nitridation on the formation of crystal defects, this study synthesized a series of Nb-based oxynitrides through the nitridation of LaKNaNb1-xTaxO5 (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0). During nitridation, K and Na species volatilized, which helped transform the exterior of LaKNaNb1-xTaxO5 into a lattice-matched oxynitride shell. Ta inhibited defect formation, yielding Nb-based oxynitrides with a tunable bandgap between 1.77 and 2.12 eV, straddling the H2 and O2 evolution potentials. After loading with Rh and CoOx cocatalysts, these oxynitrides exhibited good photocatalytic activity for H2 and O2 evolution in visible light (650-750 nm). The nitrided LaKNaTaO5 and LaKNaNb0.8Ta0.2O5 delivered the maximum H2 (19.37 μmol h-1) and O2 (22.81 μmol h-1) evolution rates, respectively. This work provides a strategy for preparing oxynitrides with low defect densities and demonstrates the promising performance of Nb-based oxynitrides for water splitting.

Abstract
Although graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has been reported for several decades, it is still an active material at the present time owing to its amazing properties exhibited in many applications, including photocatalysis. With the rapid development of characterization techniques, in-depth exploration has been conducted to reveal and utilize the natural properties of g-C3N4 through modifications. Among these, the assembly of g-C3N4 with metal oxides is an effective strategy which can not only improve electron-hole separation efficiency by forming a polymer-inorganic heterojunction, but also compensate for the redox capabilities of g-C3N4 owing to the varied oxidation states of metal ions, enhancing its photocatalytic performance. Herein, we summarized the research progress on the synthesis of g-C3N4 and its coupling with single- or multiple-metal oxides, and its photocatalytic applications in energy production and environmental protection, including the splitting of water to hydrogen, the reduction of CO2 to valuable fuels, the degradation of organic pollutants and the disinfection of bacteria. At the end, challenges and prospects in the synthesis and photocatalytic application of g-C3N4-based composites are proposed and an outlook is given.

Abstract
With global warming and the depletion of fossil resources, our fossil fuel-dependent society is expected to shift to one that instead uses hydrogen (H2) as a clean and renewable energy. To realize this, the photocatalytic water-splitting reaction, which produces H2 from water and solar energy through photocatalysis, has attracted much attention. However, for practical use, the functionality of water-splitting photocatalysts must be further improved to efficiently absorb visible (Vis) light, which accounts for the majority of sunlight. Considering the mechanism of water-splitting photocatalysis, researchers in the various fields must be employed in this type of study to achieve this. However, for researchers in fields other than catalytic chemistry, ceramic (semiconductor) materials chemistry, and electrochemistry to participate in this field, new reviews that summarize previous reports on water-splitting photocatalysis seem to be needed. Therefore, in this review, we summarize recent studies on the development and functionalization of Vis-light-driven water-splitting photocatalysts. Through this summary, we aim to share current technology and future challenges with readers in the various fields and help expedite the practical application of Vis-light-driven water-splitting photocatalysts.

Abstract
A dual-porphyrin heterostructure is successfully constructed by coupling tetrakis (4-carboxyphenyl) zinc porphyrin (ZnTCPP) with tetrakis (4-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin (THPP). The high photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 41.4 mmol h-1 g-1 is obtained for ZnTCPP/THPP under full spectrum, which is ≈5.1 and ≈17.0 times higher than that of pure ZnTCPP and THPP, respectively. The significantly enhanced activity is mainly attributed to the giant interfacial electric field formed between dual porphyrins, which greatly facilitates efficient charge separation and transfer. Meanwhile, similar conjugated structures of dual porphyrins also provide proper interface match and decrease interface defects, thus inhibiting the recombination of photoproduced carriers. By rationally combining the appropriate band structures and high-quality interfacial contact of dual porphyrins, this work provides a fresh insight into the interfacial electric field construction to improve the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Ta3N5 is a promising semiconductor photocatalyst which can generate H2 gas from water under visible light illumination. It is expected that Ta3N5 exhibits a strong anisotropy in its physical properties stemming from its highly anisotropic crystal structure. However, such anisotropic properties have not been verified experimentally due to the difficulty in synthesizing a large single crystal. Here, we report the synthesis of (010)-oriented Ta3N5 single-crystalline thin films by solid phase epitaxy on the (110) plane of perovskite LaAlO3 substrates. The obtained epitaxial thin films of Ta3N5 exhibited clear optical anisotropy (pleochroism) as predicted by previous first-principles calculations. The optical gap for E||[100] polarization (∼2.12 eV) was smaller than that for E||[100] polarization (∼2.27 eV).

Abstract
Solar energy is attractive because it is free, renewable, abundant and sustainable. Photocatalysis is one of the feasible routes to utilize solar energy for the degradation of pollutants and the production of fuel. Perovskites and their derivatives have received substantial attention in both photocatalytic wastewater treatment and energy production because of their highly tailorable structural and physicochemical properties. This review illustrates the basic principles of photocatalytic reactions and the application of these principles to the design of robust and sustainable perovskite photocatalysts. It details the structures of the perovskites and the physics and chemistry behind photocatalytic reactions and describes the advantages and limitations of popular strategies for the design of photoactive perovskites. This is followed by examples of how these strategies are applied to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of oxide, halide and oxyhalide perovskites, with a focus on materials with potential for practical application, that is, not containing scarce or toxic elements. It is expected that this overview of the development of photocatalysts and deeper understanding of photocatalytic principles will accelerate the exploitation of efficient perovskite photocatalysts and bring about effective solutions to the energy and environmental crisis.

Abstract
Charge separation is crucial for an efficient artificial photosynthetic process, especially for narrow-bandgap metal sulfides/selenides. The present study demonstrates the application of a p-n junction to particulate metal selenides to enhance photocatalytic Z-scheme overall water splitting (OWS). The constructed p-n junction of CdS-(ZnSe)0.5(CuGa2.5Se4.25)0.5 significantly boosted charge separation. A thin TiO2 coating layer also was introduced to inhibit photocorrosion of CdS and suppress the backward reaction of water formation from hydrogen and oxygen. By employing Pt-loaded TiO2/CdS-(ZnSe)0.5(CuGa2.5Se4.25)0.5 as a hydrogen evolution photocatalyst (HEP), we assembled a Z-scheme OWS system, together with BiVO4:Mo and Au as an oxygen evolution photocatalyst and electron mediator, respectively. An apparent quantum yield of 1.5% at 420 nm was achieved, which is by far the highest among reported particulate photocatalytic Z-scheme OWS systems with metal sulfides/selenides as HEPs. The present work demonstrates that a well-tailored p-n junction structure is effective for promoting charge separation in photocatalysis and opens new pathways for the development of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems involving narrow bandgap photocatalysts.

Abstract
(Oxy)nitride-based nanophotocatalysts have been extensively investigated for solar-to-chemical conversion, and not only allow wide spectral utilization to achieve high theoretical energy conversion efficiency but also exhibit suitable conduction and valence band positions for robust reduction and oxidation of water. During the past decades, a few reviews on the research progress in designing and synthesizing new visible-light-responsive semiconductors for various applications in solar-to-chemical conversion have been published. However, those on the effects of their bulk and composite (surface/interface) nanostructures on basic processes as well as solar water splitting performances to produce hydrogen are still limited. In this review, a brief introduction on the relationship between the nanostructure photocatalytic properties is included. Three main processes of solar water splitting are involved, allowing the elucidation of the correlation with the nanostructural properties of the photocatalyst such as surface/interface, size, morphology, and bulk structure. Subsequently, the development of methodologies and strategies for modulating the bulk and composite structures to improve the efficiencies of the basic processes, particularly charge separation, is summarized in detail. Finally, the prospects of (oxy)nitride-based photocatalysts such as controlled synthesis, modulation of 1D/2D morphology, exposed facet regulation, heterostructure formation, theoretical simulation, and time- and space-resolved spectroscopy are discussed.

Abstract
The simultaneous control of the defect species and surface properties of semiconducting materials is a crucial aspect of improving photocatalytic performance, yet it remains challenging. Here, we synthesized Mg-Zr-codoped single-crystalline Ta3N5 (Ta3N5:Mg+Zr) nanoparticles by a brief NH3 nitridation process, exhibiting photocatalytic water reduction activity 45 times greater than that of pristine Ta3N5 under visible light. A coherent picture of the relations between the defect species (comprising reduced Ta, nitrogen vacancies and oxygen impurities), surface properties (associated with dispersion of the Pt cocatalyst), charge carrier dynamics, and photocatalytic activities was drawn. The tuning of defects and simultaneous optimization of surface properties resulting from the codoping evidently resulted in the generation of high concentrations of long-lived electrons in this material as well as the efficient migration of these electrons to evenly distributed surface Pt sites. These effects greatly enhanced the photocatalytic activity. This work highlights the importance and feasibility of improving multiple properties of a catalytic material via a one-step strategy.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting provides an economically feasible way for converting solar energy into hydrogen. Great efforts have been devoted to developing efficient photocatalysts; however, the surface catalytic reactions, especially for the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), still remain a challenge, which limits the overall photocatalytic energy efficiency. Herein, we design a Rhn cluster cocatalyst, with Rh0 -Rh3+ sites anchoring the Mo-doped BiVO4 model photocatalytic system. The resultant photocatalyst enables a high visible-light photocatalytic oxygen production activity of 7.11 mmol g-1 h-1 and an apparent quantum efficiency of 29.37 % at 420 nm. The turnover frequency (TOF) achieves 416.73 h-1 , which is 378 times higher than that of the photocatalyst only with Rh3+ species. Operando X-ray absorption characterization shows the OER process on the Rh0 -Rh3+ sites. The DFT calculations further illustrate a bifunctional OER mechanism over the Rh0 -Rh3+ sites, in which the oxygen intermediate attacks the Rh3+ sites with assistance of a hydrogen atom transfer to the Rh0 sites, thus breaking the scaling relationship of various oxygen intermediates.

Abstract
Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) production by water splitting provides an alternative to fossil fuels using clean and renewable energy, which gives important requirements about the efficiency of photocatalysts, co-catalysts, and sacrificial agents. To achieve higher H2 production efficiencies from water splitting, the study uses different metals such as yttrium (Y), praseodymium (Pr), magnesium (Mg), Indium (In), calcium (Ca), europium (Eu), and terbium (Tb) doped lanthanum iron oxide (LaFeO3) perovskites. They were synthesized using a co-precipitate method in a citric acid solution, which was loaded with the rhodium chromium oxide (RhCrOx) cocatalysts by an impregnation method along with a detailed investigation of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance. Photoluminescence (PL) and UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS) measured the rate of electron–hole recombination for RhCrOx/Pr-LaFeO3 photocatalysts, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) analyzed their characteristics. The experimental results obtained show that the samples with 0.5 wt.% RhCrOx loading and 0.1 M Pr-doped LaFeO3 calcined at a temperature of 700 °C (0.1Pr-LaFeO3-700) exhibited the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 127 µmol h−1 g−1, which is 34% higher photocatalytic H2 evolution performance than undoped LaFeO3 photocatalysts (94.8 μmol h−1 g−1). A measure of 20% of triethanolamine (TEOA) enabled a high hole capture capability and promoted 0.1-Pr-LaFeO3-700 to get the highest H2 evolution rate.

Abstract
As the world decides on the next giant step for the renewable energy revolution, scientists have begun to reinforce their headlong dives into the exploitation of solar energy. Hitherto, numerous attempts are made to imitate the natural photosynthesis of plants by converting solar energy into chemical fuels which resembles the "Z-scheme" process. A recreation of this system is witnessed in artificial Z-scheme photocatalytic water splitting to generate hydrogen (H2). This work outlines the recent significant implication of the Z-scheme system in photocatalytic water splitting, particularly in the role of electron mediator and the key factors that improve the photocatalytic performance. The Review begins with the fundamental rationales in Z-scheme water splitting, followed by a survey on the development roadmap of three different generations of Z-scheme system: 1) PS-A/D-PS (first generation), 2) PS-C-PS (second generation), and 3) PS-PS (third generation). Focus is also placed on the scaling up of the "leaf-to-tree" challenge of Z-scheme water splitting system, which is also known as Z-scheme photocatalyst sheet. A detailed investigation of the Z-scheme system for achieving H2 evolution from past to present accompanied with in-depth discussion on the key challenges in the area of Z-scheme photocatalytic water splitting are provided.

Abstract
Solar driven photocatalysis and photoelectrocatalysis have emerged as promising strategies for clean, low-cost, and environmental-friendly production of renewable energy and removal of pollutants. There are three crucial steps for the photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical (PEC) processes: light absorption, charge separation and transportation, and surface catalytic reactions. While significant achievement has been made in developing multiple-component photocatalysts to optimize the three steps for improved solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency, it remains challenging when weak interfacial contact between components/particles hinders charge transfer, restricts electron-hole separation and lowers the structural stability of catalysts. Moreover, owing to the mismatch of energy bands, an undesirable charge transfer direction leads to an adverse consequence. To tackle these challenges, bridges are implemented to smoothen the interfacial charge transfer, improve the stability of catalysts, mediate the charge transfer directions and improve the photocatalytic/PEC performance. In this review, we present the advances in bridge engineering in photocatalytic/PEC systems. Starting with the definition and classifications of bridges, we summarize the architectures of the reported bridged photocatalysts. Then we systematically discuss the insight into the roles and fundamental mechanisms of bridges in various photocatalytic/PEC systems and their contributions to activity enhancement in various reactions. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of bridged photocatalysts are featured.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting has attracted a lot of attention in recent years, and O2 evolution is the decisive step owing to the complex four-electrons reaction process. Though many studies have been conducted, it is necessary to systematically summarize and introduce the research on photocatalytic O2 evolution, and thus a systematic review is needed. First, the corresponding principles about O2 evolution and some urgently encountered issues based on the fundamentals of photocatalytic water splitting are introduced. Then, several types of classical water oxidation photocatalysts, including TiO2, BiVO4, WO3, α-Fe2O3, and some newly developed ones, such as Sillén-Aurivillius perovskites, porphyrins, metal-organic frameworks, etc., are highlighted in detail, in terms of their crystal structures, synthetic approaches, and morphologies. Third, diverse strategies for O2 evolution activity improvement via enhancing photoabsorption and charge separation are presented, including the cocatalysts loading, heterojunction construction, doping and vacancy formation, and other strategies. Finally, the key challenges and future prospects with regard to photocatalytic O2 evolution are proposed. The purpose of this review is to provide a timely summary and guideline for the future research works for O2 evolution.

Abstract
Water oxidation is the primary reaction of both natural and artificial photosynthesis. Developing active and robust water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is the key to constructing efficient artificial photosynthesis systems, but it is still facing enormous challenges in both fundamental and applied aspects. Here, the recent developments in molecular catalysts and heterogeneous nanoparticle catalysts are reviewed with special emphasis on biomimetic catalysts and the integration of WOCs into artificial photosystems. The highly efficient artificial photosynthesis depends largely on active WOCs integrated into light harvesting materials via rational interface engineering based on in-depth understanding of charge dynamics and the reaction mechanism.

CHEMOSPHERE 2019; 235:767-775. [PMID: 31280045 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.06.231] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2019] [Revised: 06/15/2019] [Accepted: 06/30/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
BiOBr-based photocatalysts hold great promise in the application of organic wastewater treatment and air purification. However, the catalysis ability of photocatalyst is greatly limited by its poor reduction capacity and intrinsic high recombination rate of photo-generated charge carriers. In this work, a novel direct Z-scheme BiOBr/Bi12O17Br2 photocatalyst is prepared via a facile hydrolysis route at room temperature, which exhibits highly enhanced performance for resorcinol degradation and NO removal than pure Bi12O17Br2 and BiOBr. The formation of the direct Z-scheme heterojunction is substantiated by radical scavenging experiments and the analysis of electronic structure, and it benefits the photocatalytic reaction by accelerating the charge separation and improving the redox ability. Finally, the underlying photocatalytic mechanism is elucidated based on the band structure and radical scavenging experiments. This study provides a facile strategy for bismuth halide Z-scheme heterojunction constructing at room temperature and also sheds light on highly efficient photocatalysts designing.
