Abstract
Phosphorene has been widely used as anode material for batteries. However, the huge volume change during charging and discharging process, the semiconductor properties, and the high open circuit voltage limit its application. Based on this, by introducing the electron-deficient boron atoms into blue phosphorene, we proposed a P-rich sandwich-like BP4monolayer by density functional theory calculation and particle swarm optimization. The BP4monolayer shows good thermodynamic and dynamic stability, as well as chemical stability in O2atmosphere, mainly due to the strengthened P-P bond of the outer layer by the middle boron atoms adoptingsp3hybridization. According to the band structure, the BP4monolayer shows metallic property, which is beneficial to electron conductivity. Furthermore, compared with blue phosphorene and black phosphorene, the P-rich BP4monolayer shows higher theoretical capacity for Li, Na, and K of 1193.90, 1119.28, and 397.97 mA h g-1, respectively. The lattice constant of BP4monolayer increases only 3.73% (Li), 2.52% (Na) after Li/Na fully adsorbed on the anode. More importantly, the wettability of BP4monolayer in the electrolyte is comparable to that of graphene. These findings show that the stable sandwich-like BP4monolayer has potential as a lightweight anode material.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials serving as photocatalysts favor providing abundant unsaturated active sites and shortening the charge transport distance, but the high surface energy readily causes the aggregation that limits their application. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2D covalent organic framework (COF) TpBD nanosheets are effective in the dispersion and stabilization of 0D Ni(OH)2 . The COF precursor TpBD is synthesized from the Schiff base condensation of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) and exfoliated into 2D nanosheets named BDNs via ultrasonication. The formation of highly dispersive 0D Ni(OH)2 on BDNs is reached under a mild weak basic condition, enabling robust active sites for CO2 adsorption/activation and rapid interface cascaded electron transport channels for the accumulation of long-lived photo-generated charges. The champion catalyst 30%Ni-BDNs effectively catalyze the CO2 to CO conversion under visible-light irradiation, offering a high CO evolution rate of 158.4 mmol g-1 h-1 and turnover frequency of 51 h-1 . By contrast, the counterpart photocatalyst, the bulk TpBD stabilized Ni(OH)2 , affords a much lower CO evolution rate and selectivity. This work demonstrates a new avenue to simultaneously construct efficient active sites and electron transport channels by coupling 0D metal hydroxides and 2D COF nanosheets for CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
A key task in today's inorganic synthetic chemistry is to develop effective reactions, routes, and associated techniques aiming to create new functional materials with specifically desired multilevel structures and properties. Herein, we report an ultrathin two-dimensional layered composite of graphene ribbon and silicate via a simple and scalable one-pot reaction, which leads to the creation of a novel carbon-metal-silicate hybrid family: carbosilicate. The graphene ribbon is in situ formed by unzipping carbon nanotubes, while the ultrathin silicate is in situ obtained from bulk silica or commercial glass; transition metals (Fe or Ni) oxidized by water act as bridging agent, covalently bonding the two structures. The unprecedented structure combines the superior properties of the silicate and the nanocarbon, which triggers some specific novel properties. All processes during synthesis are complementary to each other. The associated synergistic chemistry could stimulate the discovery of a large class of more interesting, functionalized structures and materials.

Abstract
The existence of the oxidation/reduction interface can promote the performance of a photocatalyst, due to its effect on the separation of photogenerated carriers and the surface reactivity. However, it is difficult to construct two sets of oxidation/reduction interfaces in a single crystal and compare their separation efficiency for photogenerated carriers. Introducing a high proportion of active facets into the co-exposed facets is even more challenging. Herein, a hollow anatase TiO2 tetrakaidecahedron (HTT) with two sets of oxidation/reduction interfaces ({001}/{101} and {001}/{110}) is synthesized by directional chemical etching. Theoretical and experimental results indicate that the {001}/{110} interface is a dominant oxidation/reduction interface, showing a better promotion on the separation of photogenerated carriers than the {001}/{101} interface. In the HTT, the ratio of dominant {001}/(110) is increased and the proportion of the active {110} facet is about 40% (generally about 15%). Therefore, the HTT shows excellent catalytic activity for photocatalytic reductive (hydrogen production) and oxidative (selective oxidation of sulfides) reactions. The HTT also demonstrates favorable photocatalytic activity for the cross-dehydrogenative coupling reaction, where both photogenerated electrons and photogenerated holes are involved, further verifying its high separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers and surface reactivity. This work provides an important guideline for developing advanced structures with a predetermined interface toward desired applications.

Abstract
Due to their atomically dispersed active centers, single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have unparalleled advantages in cancer catalytic therapy. Here, loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6), a hydrothermally mass-produced bimetallic silicate-based nanoplatforms with atomically dispersed manganese/gadolinium (Mn/Gd) dual sites and oxygen vacancies (OVs) (PMnSA GMSNs-V@Ce6) is constructed for tumor glutathione (GSH)-triggered chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and O2 -alleviated photodynamic therapy. The band gaps of silica are significantly reduced from 2.78 to 1.88 eV by doping with metal ions, which enables it to be excited by a 650 nm laser to produce electron-hole pairs, thereby facilitating the generation of reactive oxygen species. The Gd sites can modulate the local electrons of the atom-catalyzed Mn sites, which contribute to the generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals (• OH). Tumor GSH-triggered Mn2+ release can convert endogenous H2 O2 to • OH and realize GSH-depletion-enhanced CDT. Significantly, the hydrothermally generated OVs can not only capture Mn and Gd atoms to form atomic sites but also can elongate and weaken the O-O bonds of H2 O2 , thereby improving the efficacy of Fenton reactions. The degraded Mn2+ /Gd3+ ions can be used as tumor-specific magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents. All the experimental results demonstrate the great potential of PMnSA GMSNs-V@Ce6 as cancer theranostic agent.

Abstract
The exploration of non-noble metal catalysts for alkane dehydrogenation and their catalytic mechanisms is the priority in catalysis research. Here, we report a high-density coordinatively unsaturated Zn cation (Zncus) catalyst for the direct dehydrogenation (DDH) of ethylbenzene (EB) to styrene (ST). The catalyst demonstrated good catalytic performance (∼40% initial EB conversion rate and >98% ST selectivity) and excellent regeneration ability in the reaction, which is attributed to the high-density (HD) distribution and high-stability structure of Zncus active sites on the surface of zinc silicate (HD-Zncus@ZS). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations further illustrated the reaction pathway and intermediates, supporting that the Zncus sites can efficiently activate the C-H bond of ethyl on ethylbenzene. Developing the high-density Zncus catalyst and exploring the catalytic mechanism laid a good foundation for designing practical non-noble metal catalysts.

Abstract
Phase engineering is an emerging strategy for tuning the electronic states and catalytic functions of nanomaterials. Great interest has recently been captured by phase-engineered photocatalysts, including the unconventional phase, amorphous phase, and heterophase. Phase engineering of photocatalytic materials (including semiconductors and cocatalysts) can effectively affect the light absorption range, charge separation efficiency, or surface redox reactivity, resulting in different catalytic behavior. The applications for phase-engineered photocatalysts are widely reported, for example, hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, CO2 reduction, and organic pollutant removal. This review will firstly provide a critical insight into the classification of phase engineering for photocatalysis. Then, the state-of-the-art development of phase engineering toward photocatalytic reactions will be presented, focusing on the synthesis and characterization methodologies for unique phase structure and the correlation between phase structure and photocatalytic performance. Finally, personal understanding of the current opportunities and challenges of phase engineering for photocatalysis will also be provided.

Abstract
Developing heterostructure photocatalysts for removing Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) under visible light was of positive significance to control the risk of Microcystins and ensure the safety of water quality. Herein, the Bi2WO6/Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposites were prepared via a simple one-spot hydrothermal method for the first time to degrade MC-LR. The optimized Bi2WO6/RGO (Bi2WO6/RGO3%) achieved a removal efficiency of 82.3% toward MC-LR, with 1.9-fold higher efficiencies than Bi2WO6, and it showed superior reusability and high stability after 5 cycles. The degradation efficiency of MC-LR demonstrated a negative trend with the initial concentration of MC-LR, fulvic acid, and initial algal density increased, while MC-LR removal rate for the presence of anions was in the order of Cl- > CO3-2 > NO3- > H2PO4-. The degradation efficiency of MC-LR could reach up to 82.3% within 180 min in the neutral condition. The active species detection experiments and EPR measurements demonstrated that the holes (h+), hydroxide radicals (∙OH), and superoxide radicals (∙O2-) participated in the degradation of MC-LR. The DFT calculations showed that 0.56 of electron transferred from Bi2WO6 to RGO, indicating RGO introduction could prevent the recombination of photoelectrons and holes and was beneficial for MC-LR degradation. Finally, the possible intermediate products and degradation pathways were also proposed by the LC-MS/MS analysis.

Abstract
Photocatalysis appears to be an appealing approach for environmental remediation including pollutants degradation in water, air, and/or soil, due to the utilization of renewable and sustainable source of energy, i.e., solar energy. However, their broad applications remain lagging due to the challenges in pollutant degradation efficiency, large-scale catalyst production, and stability. In recent decades, massive efforts have been devoted to advance the photocatalysis technology for improved environmental remediation. In this review, the latest progress in this aspect is overviewed, particularly, the strategies for improved light sensitivity, charge separation, and hybrid approaches. We also emphasize the low efficiency and poor stability issues with the current photocatalytic systems. Finally, we provide future suggestions to further enhance the photocatalyst performance and lower its large-scale production cost. This review aims to provide valuable insights into the fundamental science and technical engineering of photocatalysis in environmental remediation.

Abstract
Cobalt silicate (CoSi) is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs) and an electrocatalytic material for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). How to synthesize cobalt silicate with excellent energy storage and OER properties has not been reported and it is a great challenge for researchers to accomplish it. In this work, we find that the electrochemical properties of CoSi are particularly affected by critical factors during the synthesis process. Three types of CoSi compounds are synthesized using Stöber SiO2 as the self-sacrificing template via a hydrothermal reaction. The CoSi compounds generated from different reaction systems have obvious differences in the macrostate, microscopic morphology, composition and valence, leading to different electrochemical performances for energy storage and OER properties. The findings reveal that the differences (especially valence) among CoSi are determined by the formation of the metal source in the reaction system. The specific capacitance of CoSi-3 obtained from the system with basic salts as the metal source is eight times higher than that of CoSi-1 obtained from the system with coordination compounds as the metal source, whereas CoSi-1 has a greater advantage in electrocatalytic activity. This work provides insight for the synthesis of cobalt silicates applied to energy storage and conversion.

Abstract
Oxygen consumption but hypoxic tumor environment has been considered as the major obstacle in photodynamic therapy. Although oxygen-supplied strategies have been reported extensively, they still suffer from the complicated system and unsatisfied PDT efficiency. Herein, one-component layered nickel silicate nanoplatforms (LNS NPs) are successfully synthesized using natural vermiculite as the silica source, which can simultaneously supply oxygen (O2) and generate superoxide radicals (O2-•) under near-infrared irradiation. The appropriate electron band structure endows LNS NPs with attractive optical properties, where the bandgap edges determine the performance of redox activity and spectral response characteristic. Evidenced by both in vitro and in vivo investigations, LNS NPs can generate sufficient superoxide radicals under 660 nm laser irradiation to induce tumor cell apoptosis even in a severe hypoxic environment, which benefits from self-supplied oxygen. Besides, the photoacoustic oxy-hem imaging and histologic assay further demonstrated that the generated oxygen can relieve the inherent intratumoral hypoxia. Therefore, LNS NPs not only serve as superoxide radical generator but also produce oxygen to modulate hypoxia, suggesting that it can be used for superoxide radical-mediated photodynamic therapy with enhanced antitumor effect.

Abstract
With the rapid worldwide development of industry and human activities, increasing amounts of multifarious contaminants have significantly threatened environmental ecosystems and human health. Solar photocatalytic decontamination, as an environmentally friendly technology, has been regarded as a good approach to eliminate water pollutants. To date, various photocatalysts have been developed for the purpose of water remediation. Zn-containing layered double hydroxides (Zn-LDHs) and their derivatives are promising candidates due to their suitable band edge positions (oxidation-reduction potentials) for high photocatalytic performances, flexible properties derived from adjustable components and tailorable electronic structures, chemical stabilities, and low toxicities. This review focuses on the fabrication and modification of Zn-LDHs and their photocatalytic applications for the elimination of contaminants in water, including the degradation of toxic organic pollutants, transfer of hazardous heavy metals to lower toxicity heavy metals, and bacterial inactivation. The mechanisms involved in the photocatalytic processes are also thoroughly reviewed. Finally, the emerging scientific and engineering opportunities and challenges in environmental photocatalysis are presented. This review provides basic insights into the construction of Zn-LDH-based materials with high photocatalytic activities and new perspectives on their applications for the photocatalytic elimination of contaminants, which is helpful for the development of photocatalysis for environmental remediation from the lab to industry.

Abstract
The universal pollution of diverse water bodies and declined water quality represent very important environmental problems. The development of new and efficient photocatalytic water treatment systems based on the Z-scheme mechanisms can contribute to tackling such problems. This study reports the preparation, full characterization, and detailed sonophotocatalytic activity of a new series of hybrid NU@ZIS nanocomposites, which comprise a p-n heterojunction of 3D Zr(IV) metal-organic framework nanorods (NU-1000) and photoactive ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) nanostars. Among the obtained materials with varying content of ZIS (5, 10, 20, and 30%) on the surface of NU-1000, the NU@ZIS20 nanocomposite revealed an ultrahigh catalytic performance and recyclability in a quick visible-light-induced degradation of the tetracycline antibiotic in water under sonophotocatalytic conditions. Moreover, increased activity of NU@ZIS20 can be ascribed to the formation of a p-n heterojunction between NU-1000 and ZIS, and a synergistic effect of these components, leading to a high level of radical production, facilitating a Z-scheme charge carrier transfer and reducing the recombination of charge carriers. The radical trapping tests revealed that •OH, •O2-, and h+ are the major active species in the sonophotocatalytic degradation of tetracycline. Possible mechanism and mineralization pathways were introduced. Cytotoxicity of NU@ZIS20 and aquatic toxicity of water samples after tetracycline degradation were also assessed, showing good biocompatibility of the catalyst and efficacy of sonophotocatalytic protocols to produce water that does not affect the growth of bacteria. Finally, the obtained nanocomposites and developed photocatalytic processes can represent an interesting approach toward diverse environmental applications in water remediation and the elimination of other types of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Chlorophenols are very important environmental pollutants, which have created huge problems for both aquatic and terrestrial lives. Therefore, their removal needs urgent, effective, and advanced technologies to safeguard our environment for future generation. This review encompasses a comprehensive study of the applications of chlorophenols, their hazardous effects and photocatalytic degradation under light illumination. The effect of various factors such as pH and presence of different anions on the photocatalytic oxidation of chlorophenols have been elaborated comprehensively. The production of different oxidizing agents taking part in the photodegradation of chlorophenols are given a bird eye view. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism of different chlorophenols over various photocatalyts has been discussed in more detail and elaborated that how different photocatalysts degrade the same chlorophenols with the aid of different oxidizing agents produced during photocatalysis. Finally, a future perspective has been given to deal with the effective removal of these hazardous pollutants from the environment.

Abstract
It is stubborn to remove the lowly concentrated phthalic acid esters (PAEs) that usually coexist with other highly concentrated but low-toxic pollutants in municipal sewage. Herein, we report a novel strategy for completely removing the PAEs over a bi-functional {001}TiO2 surface (with highly exposed {001} facet), which not only serve as functional sites to specifically adsorb the target PAEs pollutants, but also contribute to an enhanced oxidation ability. The adsorption behavior of PAEs on {001}TiO2 is analyzed deeply through kinetic experiments combining with in situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The results reveal that the adsorption capacities of PAEs on {001}TiO2 are about 4-5 times higher than that on TiO2, both of which follow the pseudo-second-order and Langmuir model. This is mainly attributed to the interfacial Lewis Acid-Base Pair between {001} facet Ti5c sites and CO of PAEs. Benefitting from the specific adsorption capability toward target pollutant and enhanced oxidation ability of {001} facets, nearly 100% of DMP or DEP in simulated wastewater can be eliminated by {001}TiO2 within 2 h illumination, and the relevant degradation rate constants (k) (3.67 h-1 for DMP and 2.19 h-1 for DEP) are 5.73 and 3.08 folds higher than that of pure TiO2, respectively. In the application of municipal wastewater, nearly 76% of DMP and 85% DEP can be eliminated by {001}TiO2 within 2 h illumination, which are nearly 3-6 fold higher than that of pure TiO2.

Abstract
The disposal and management of waste sludge is a considerable challenge for environmental protection and resource utilization. Herein, sludge-based biochar material loaded with nano-Fe3O4 (xS@Fe-y) was fabricated via hydrothermal carbonization process and employed as catalyst to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for degrading organic dyes in wastewater. Benefiting from the proper iron content, porous structure and the good dispersibility of iron on the catalyst surface, the proposed 5S@Fe-500 catalyst not only exhibited excellent catalytic activity and durability in the activation of PMS to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB), which was almost completely removed in 10 min (50 mL 50 mg L-1), but also performed broad application prospects in pollutant degradation. More importantly, the free radical quenching test and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) detection demonstrated that O2•-, SO4•-, OH and 1O2 were generated during the process of catalyst activation of PMS. Based on this, a possible reaction pathway for degrading RhB with the aid of 5S@Fe-500 was put forward. It is believed that this work offers a promising reuse method of converting the waste sludge to a high efficiency and low-cost nano magnetic catalyst to activate PMS for degrading refractory organic pollutants in aquatic surroundings.

Abstract
It is a great challenge for achieving efficiently controllable conversion of chlorinated organics through BiVO4-based photoelectrochemical methods by improving the selective adsorption of such organics and charge separation. Herein, we have successfully fabricated SnO2/010 facet-exposed BiVO4 nanocomposites by a series of hydrothermal processes and further used as efficient photoanodes. The resulting photoanode exhibits about 6.3 times higher photoelectrochemical activity than bulk-BiVO4, especially with the efficiently controllable conversion of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) to the nontoxic valuable intermediates such as catechol and pyrogallol by preferential dechlorination. Based on the 2,4-DCP adsorption curves, in situ diffuse reflectance infrared spectra, transient-state surface photovoltage responses, and photocurrent action spectra, it was clearly confirmed that the exceptional performance could be mainly attributed to the promoted selective adsorption of 2,4-DCP for efficiently modulating holes by the strong coordination interactions between -Cl with lone-pair electrons in 2,4-DCP and Bi- with empty orbits on (010) facet-exposed BiVO4 nanoflakes and to the coupled nano-SnO2 for prolonging the charge lifetime of BiVO4 by acting as the high-energy-level electron-accepting platform. This work provides a feasible strategy to develop excellent BiVO4-based photoelectrochemical methods for efficiently controlling the conversion of chlorinated organics simultaneously with energy production and recovery.

Abstract
Organic anions possess various functional properties; however, their presence in wastewater causes environmental pollution. Thus, coupling the separation of such species with the resultant function could be highly desirable. Herein, we propose a "killing two birds with one stone" strategy for highly efficient separation of organic pollutant anions from water at room temperature through direct construction of functional cationic metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) based on the organic anions as charge-balancing anions. To illustrate this strategy, 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate anion (PA-) is chosen as a typical anion, while 4,4'-azo-triazole (atrz) is strategically chosen as a suitable neutral ligand. The resultant positive framework exhibits a high adsorption capacity and selectivity for PA-. Remarkably, its adsorption capacity is 869.6 mg g-1, which is more than 30 times that of multiwalled carbon nanotubes and 15 times that of activated carbon. Its capacity is even higher than that of BUT-13 (865 mg g-1), the highest adsorbent ever known. 1H NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction show that the high capacity is attributed to strong electrostatic interaction between the positive framework and PA-, which leads to all the pores being completely occupied by PA- anions. 1H NMR titration reveals that the selectivity comes from stronger hydrogen-bonding interaction between the ligand of the positive framework and PA-, which is confirmed from the eight times length of the shifted signal of atrz due to the addition of PA- compared with the competing anions. The stronger interaction is further confirmed from the high stability of the resultant CMOF in high-concentration salt solutions containing the competing anions, particularly in 100-fold molar NaNO3 and Na2SO4 solutions. Meanwhile, first-principles simulation shows that the high binding energy between the positive framework and PA- contributes to enhancing the selectivity. Moreover, the resultant CMOF is a potential energetic material with an improved oxygen balance, high heat of formation, and heat of detonation.

Abstract
Constructing heterojunction is an effective strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts. Herein, we fabricated ZnTiO3/Bi4NbO8Cl heterojunction with improved performance via a typical mechanical mixing method. The rhodamine (RhB) degradation rate over heterojunction is higher than that of individual ZnTiO3 or Bi4NbO8Cl under Xenon-arc lamp irradiation. Combining ZnTiO3 with Bi4NbO8Cl can inhibit the recombination of photo-excited carriers. The improved quantum efficiency was demonstrated by transient-photocurrent responses (PC), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), photoluminescence (PL) spectra, and time-resolved PL (TRPL) spectra. This research may be valuable for photocatalysts in the industrial application.

Abstract
Heterojunction construction of semiconductors with a matched bandgap can not only help promote visible light absorption but also restrain photoexcited charge carrier recombination and optimize the separation efficiency. Herein, a novel porous honeycomb-like NiSe2/RP heterostructure is reported for the first time by in situ deposition of NiSe2 nanoparticles on the surface of red phosphorus (RP). The optimized binary NiSe2/RP composite showed superior photocatalytic H2 evolution activity (1968.8 μmol g-1 h-1) from Na2S/Na2SO3 solution under solar light illumination, which was 2.32, 1.90, 1.59 and 1.21 times that of pristine RP, NiSe2, 5.3% FeS/RP and 8.1% NiS/RP, respectively. The formation process and function of various reactive oxygen species (˙OH, ˙O2- and H2O2), and the migration pathway of photocarriers are discussed in detail. Such a prominently improved photocatalytic performance could be ascribed to extended light absorption ability, massive reactive centers and lower interfacial transfer resistance, together with expedited charge separation, which arose from a successive two-electron/two-step reduction route. This study provides illuminating insights for the rational exploration and fabrication of potential photocatalytic systems with 0D/3D integrated nanoarchitecture and a multi-step electron transfer process for efficiently realizing solar energy capture and conversion.
