Abstract
Electrochemical nitrogen reduction (eNRR) is a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable approach for ammonia production. MoS2, as a typical layered transition metal compound, holds significant potential as an electrocatalyst for the eNRR. Nevertheless, it suffers from a limited number of active sites and low electron transfer efficiency. In this study, we constructed a heterostructure by depositing SnO2 (an n-type semiconductor) nanoparticles on MoS2 (a p-type semiconductor). This unique interfacial structure not only generates abundant interfacial contacts but also facilitates the transfer of electrons from SnO2 to MoS2, leading to the formation of an interfacial electric field. Theoretical calculations demonstrate that this electric field increases the number of active electrons, facilitating N2 adsorption and NN bond activation. Moreover, it increases the degree of orbital overlap between N2 and SnO2/MoS2, effectively reducing the energy barrier of the rate-determining step. Benefiting from the interfacial electric field effect, the SnO2/MoS2 catalyst exhibits significant catalytic activity and selectivity towards eNRR, with an ammonia yield of 47.1 µg h-1 mg-1 and a Faraday efficiency of 19.3 %, surpassing those reported for the majority of MoS2- and SnO2-based catalysts.

Abstract
Hydrogen production via the photocatalytic water splitting reaction on semiconductors presents a promising avenue to directly achieve solar energy conversion and storage. Bismuth-based semiconductors with layered structures, a hierarchical arrangement of components stacked in the form of two-dimensional extended layers where the atoms within each layer are typically strongly bonded, while the interactions between the layers are relatively weak, have emerged as an important series of photocatalyst candidates. In this review, we focus on the new emerging layered bismuth-based semiconductors with structures in Sillén, Aurivillius, Sillén-Aurivillius and bismuth chromate systems primarily employed in the photocatalytic water splitting reaction. From a crystal structure-oriented view, we delve into discussions on how the component and unit of a crystal structure influence the intrinsic properties, including light absorption and photogenerated charge transfer and separation, of materials as well as the corresponding photocatalytic performance of the water splitting reaction. The strategies for modulating the ferroelectricity and surface modification of these layered bismuth-based semiconductors are also involved. We also discuss the limitations of these materials accompanied by a forward-looking perspective, and we hope to provide some insights from the view of rational material design and engineering for the fabrication of high-efficiency photocatalytic water splitting systems.

Abstract
The occurrence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is strongly associated with the progressive aggregation of a 42-amino-acid fragment derived from the amyloid-β precursor protein (Aβ1-42). Therefore, it is crucial to establish a versatile platform that can effectively detect Aβ1-42 to aid in the early-stage preclinical diagnosis of AD. Herein, we introduce a specialized split-type analytical platform that enables sensitive and accurate monitoring of Aβ1-42 based on a self-corrected photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing system. To realize this design, gelatinized Ti3C2@Bi2WO6 Schottky heterojunctions were prepared and served as photoelectrodes for tackling the photoinduced charge carriers. Functionalized CaCO3@CuO2 nanocomposites were used as signal converters to detect Aβ1-42 and amplify the signal further. Benefiting from the glucose oxidation induced acid microenvironment and H2O2 output, the nanocomposites are able to rapidly decompose, producing Ca2+ and Fenton-like catalyst Cu2+. The Cu2+-driven Fenton-like reaction generated ·OH, which accelerated the 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation. Additionally, Ca2+ was cross-linked with alginate inducing gelation on the surface of Ti3C2@Bi2WO6 Schottky heterojunctions, influencing mass transfer and light absorption. Eventually results in the shift of photocurrent, allowing for precise quantification with a detection limit of 0.06 pg mL-1. The combination of colorimetric variation and the photoelectric effect provide a more accurate and reliable result. This research opens up new possibilities for constructing PEC platforms and beyond.

Abstract
Recently, bismuth (Bi)-based photocatalysts have been a well-deserved hotspot in the field of photocatalysis owning to their photoelectrochemical properties driven by the distortion of the Bi 6 s orbital, while their narrow band gap and poor quantum efficiency still restrict their application. With the development of ultrasonic technology, it is expected to become a broom to clear the application obstacles of Bi-based photocatalysts. The special forces and environmental conditions brought by ultrasonic irradiation play beneficial roles in the preparation, modification and performance releasement of Bi-based photocatalysts. In this review, the role and influencing factors of ultrasound in the preparation and modification of Bi-based photocatalysts were introduced. Crucially, the mechanism of the improving the performance for various types of Bi-based photocatalysts by ultrasound in the whole process of photocatalysis was deeply analyzed. Then, the application of ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts in contaminants treatment and energy conversion was briefly introduced. Finally, based on an unambiguous understanding of ultrasonic technology in assisting Bi-based photocatalysts, the future directions and possibilities for ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts are explored.

Abstract
In this work, all kinds of intrinsic point defects, unintentional N and H impurities and possible complex defects between impurities and native defects in α- and β-Bi2O3 with different growth conditions are systematically investigated using hybrid density functional calculations. And then, the n- or p-type doping mechanisms in α- and β-Bi2O3 are explored and discussed. It is found that α-Bi2O3 presents the n-type conductivity under O-poor conditions. The unintentional H interstitials as the shallow donors should be majorly responsible for the n-type conductivity character. While under O-rich conditions, α-Bi2O3 displays the p-type conductivity, and the unintentional complex defects VBi1 + 2H as the shallow acceptors should be the primary origins of the p-type conductivity. The hydrogenation of the Bi vacancy in α-Bi2O3 not only significantly lowers the formation energy of the Bi vacancy but also markedly decreases its acceptor transition level. This well explains the experimental observation that α-Bi2O3 changes from n-type to p-type conductivity with increasing O partial pressure. Compared to α-Bi2O3, β-Bi2O3 always presents the n-type conductivity behaviour regardless of the growth conditions. The native O1 vacancies (VO1) and unintentional H interstitials in β-Bi2O3 are shallow and excellent donors. They are responsible for the n-type conductivity and further perfectly explain the observed unintentional n-type conductivity character in β-Bi2O3 experiments. Understanding the defect physics in α- and β-Bi2O3 could inspire more significant studies on developing Bi2O3-based photocatalysts.

Abstract
Introduction: Semiconductors have similar crystal structures and matched energy levels could form a coupled heterojunction at an interface between them which may allow response to visible light, achieving efficient decomposition of organic compounds. Methods: The Bi2O2CO3/BiOI (BOC/BOI) with 2D/2D p-n heterojunction was prepared by one-pot room-temperature strategy. The prepared materials were tested by various technologies, and the three-dimensional structure, light absorption properties, electrochemical properties and other information were obtained. Photocatalytic tests have also been carried out. Results and discussion: BOC/BOI heterojunction with oxygen vacancies showed much higher photocatalytic activity than pure BOC and BOI. For example, the preferred BOC/BOI-0.5 heterojunction of the degradation rate for Rhodamine B (RhB) is 97.6 % within 2 h, which is 15.8 and 2.2 times faster than that of BiOI and BOC. In addition, the removal rates of tetracycline, ciprofloxacin and bisphenol A by BOC/ BOI-0.5 were 92.4, 80.3 and 68.6%, respectively. The 2D/2D structures of BOC/BOI-0.5 with rich in oxygen vacancies combined p-n junction can effectively inhibit the photoinduced electron-hole pair recombination and increase the production of active free radicals. The O2- and h+ are the main reactants, giving the composite catalyst potential for degrading a variety of pollutants.

Abstract
BiOCl powders with different morphology were obtained through self-assembling. Their photocatalytic performance was tested through degradation of organic dye and mechanism of photocatalytic for obtained samples were investigated. Relevant characterization demonstrated that facet synergy was a main reason of photocatalytic performance promotion due to changed facet exposure and proportion under self-assembling. Theory and experimental analysis manifested that synergistic facet stimulated Z scheme transition in samples with lower (001) facet proportion, which provided favorable condition of 1O2 generation and simultaneously generated prominent charge separation. This work unveiled the facet synergy dominant photocatalytic performance improvement in self-assembling system of BiOCl and verified decisive role of facet proportion in constructing Z-scheme facet junction, which also prompted possibility of improving 1O2 generation through facet engineering under self-assembling.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential to photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics in water. In this work, we prepared Ag3PO4/Bi@Bi4Ti3O12 by simple in-situ reduction method and precipitation method, which improves the ability to capture visible light and increases the activity of photoinduced molecular oxygen activation, resulting in reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as superoxide radicals (•O2-), hydroxyl radicals (•OH), and H2O2. The excellent TC degradation efficiency derive from the SPR effect of the metal Bi on the surface enhances the light absorption intensity, and development of a Z-scheme heterojunction between Ag3PO4 and Bi4Ti3O12 promotes the activation of molecular oxygen. A possible photodegradation mechanism of the as-prepared photocatalyst was proposed. This work provides an insight perspective to the synthesis photocatalysts with molecular oxygen activation for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The conversion and storage of solar energy to chemical energy via artificial photosynthesis holds significant potential for optimizing the energy situation and mitigating the global warming effect. Photocatalytic water splitting utilizing particulate semiconductors offers great potential for the production of renewable hydrogen, while this cross-road among biology, chemistry, and physics features a topic with fascinating interdisciplinary challenges. Progress in photocatalytic water splitting has been achieved in recent years, ranging from fundamental scientific research to pioneering scalable practical applications. In this review, we focus mainly on the recent advancements in terms of the development of new light-absorption materials, insights and strategies for photogenerated charge separation, and studies towards surface catalytic reactions and mechanisms. In particular, we emphasize several efficient charge separation strategies such as surface-phase junction, spatial charge separation between facets, and polarity-induced charge separation, and also discuss their unique properties including ferroelectric and photo-Dember effects on spatial charge separation. By integrating time- and space-resolved characterization techniques, critical issues in photocatalytic water splitting including photoinduced charge generation, separation and transfer, and catalytic reactions are analyzed and reviewed. In addition, photocatalysts with state-of-art efficiencies in the laboratory stage and pioneering scalable solar water splitting systems for hydrogen production using particulate photocatalysts are presented. Finally, some perspectives and outlooks on the future development of photocatalytic water splitting using particulate photocatalysts are proposed.

Abstract
In recent years, the semiconductor bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) has attracted increasing attention as a potential visible-light-driven photocatalyst due to its simple composition, relatively narrow bandgap (2.2-2.8 eV), and high oxidation ability with deep valence band levels. Owing to the symmetry of its unit cell, Bi2O3 exists in more than one crystal form and exhibits phase-dependent photocatalytic properties. However, the phase-selective synthesis of Bi2O3 is a complex process, and its phase transformation usually occurs in a wide temperature range. Therefore, the development of Bi2O3 phases with a controllable microstructure and good photocatalytic properties is a great challenge. Hundreds of articles have been reported on the phase-selective synthesis and photocatalytic performance of Bi2O3. However, an interacting and critical review has rarely been reported, and thus it is essential to fill the gap in the literature. In this review, the phase-dependent photocatalytic performance of Bi2O3 is presented in detail. The phase-selective synthesis and temperature-dependent phase stability of highly active Bi2O3 are explored. The phase junction in Bi2O3 is reviewed, and the future perspective with an outlook on contemporary challenges is provided finally.

Abstract
Heterojunctions modulated internal electric field (IEF) usually result in suboptimal efficiencies in carrier separation and utilization because of the narrow IEF distribution and long migration paths of photocarriers. In this work, we report distinctive bismuth oxyhydroxide compound nanorods (denoted as BOH NRs) featuring surface-exposed open channels and a simple chemical composition; by simply modifying the bulk anion layers to overcome the limitations of heterojunctions, the bulk IEF could be readily modulated. Benefiting from the unique crystal structure and the localization of valence electrons, the bulk IEF intensity increases with the atomic number of introduced halide anions. Therefore, A low exchange ratio (~10%) with halide anions (I–, Br–, Cl–) gives rise to a prominent elevation in carrier separation efficiency and better photocatalytic performance for benzylamine coupling oxidation. Here, our work offers new insights into the design and optimization of semiconductor photocatalysts. Research on the bulk internal electric field (IEF) regulation is significant for designing high-efficiency photocatalysts. Here, the authors report distinctive bismuth oxyhydroxide nanorods photocatalyst and increase the bulk IEF intensity by halogen ions exchange.

Abstract
Heterogeneous photocatalysis provides a promising strategy to generate renewable fuels by harnessing solar energy. Metal heteroanionic photocatalysts have gained attention for their visible-light absorption; however, they are also plagued by photocorrosion, which limits their long-term use. Such photocorrosion occurs from photooxidation of the less electronegative nonoxide ions, leading to decomposition of the material's lattice. In this Perspective, we highlight emerging strategies to develop durable metal heteroanionic photocatalysts. We devote attention to the approaches taken for model metal oxynitrides, oxysulfides, and oxyhalide photocatalysts to provide a holistic framework. This analysis emphasizes the vital roles that interface engineering, charge carrier extraction, and crystal and electronic structure play in providing photodurability. We believe that through these approaches, durable and visible-light-absorbing artificial photosynthetic systems can be developed for a sustainable future.

Abstract
The built-in electric field generated by polar materials is one of the most effective strategies to promote the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the field of photocatalysis. However, because of the complexity and diversity of the built-in electric field in polar materials, it is not clear how to enhance the photocatalytic performance and how to control the polar electric field effectively. To this end, four-layered bismuth oxyhalides, BiOX, and BiOXO3 (X = Br, I) were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis confirmed that they all have the structure characteristics of a sillenite phase. Scanning electron microscopy images show that they all have the morphology of nanosheets. Among them, BiOBrO3 was successfully synthesized and characterized for the first time in the present work. The order of photocatalytic performance (including carrier's lifetime, photocurrent density, and H2 evolution rate) of the four compounds is listed as follows: BiOBrO3 > BiOI > BiOIO3 > BiOBr. In the bulk of the BiOXO3 photocatalyst, the spontaneous polar built-in electric field along the [001] direction is the crucial factor to inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, while the surface polar electric field in BiOI can outstandingly inhibit the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs due to the breaking of the mirror symmetry. Therefore, regulating the microstructure and composition of the structure unit, which generates the built-in electric field, can indeed control the magnitude, direction, and effects of built-in electric fields. In practice, we should carefully adjust the strategy according to the actual situation so as to reasonably design and use the polar electric field, giving full play to its role and enhancing the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based photocatalysis as a productive technology furnishes a prospective solution to environmental and renewable energy issues, but its efficiency greatly relies on the effective bulk and surface separation of photoexcited charge carriers. Exploitation of atomic-level strategies allows in-depth understanding on the related mechanisms and enables bottom-up precise design of photocatalysts, significantly enhancing photocatalytic activity. Herein, the advances on atomic-level charge separation strategies toward developing robust photocatalysts are highlighted, elucidating the fundamentals of charge separation and transfer processes and advanced probing techniques. The atomic-level bulk charge separation strategies, embodied by regulation of charge movement pathway and migration dynamic, boil down to shortening the charge diffusion distance to the atomic-scale, establishing atomic-level charge transfer channels, and enhancing the charge separation driving force. Meanwhile, regulating the in-plane surface structure and spatial surface structure are summarized as atomic-level surface charge separation strategies. Moreover, collaborative strategies for simultaneous manipulation of bulk and surface photocharges are also introduced. Finally, the existing challenges and future prospects for fabrication of state-of-the-art photocatalysts are discussed on the basis of a thorough comprehension of atomic-level charge separation strategies.

Abstract
The use of semiconductor photocatalysts to generate electrons with efficient reducing capability for organic photoreduction synthesis and the removal of harmful substances has become a hotspot in the field of green chemistry research. In this work, α-MnO2 nanocubes and α-MnO2@MnIn2S4 hybrid photocatalysts with a core-shell structure were synthesized successively by a two-step method. XRD and XPS verified the coexistence of the two substances (α-MnO2 and MnIn2S4) in hybrid systems. According to the SEM and TEM characterization, it is clearly seen that MnIn2S4 nanosheets grow on α-MnO2 nanocubes to form a hierarchical structure. Furthermore, HRTEM showed that the interface contact between α-MnO2 and MnIn2S4 resulted in an atomically defined junction. The photocatalytic performance of the composite catalyst was evaluated by reducing 4-nitroaniline to 4-phenylenediamine and Cr(vi) to Cr(iii), respectively. The results show that the catalytic activity of the composite material is effectively improved compared to that of the single components. The Z-scheme electron transport mechanism was proved by ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, valence band XPS, energy band structure calculation and active species detection experiments. The constructed Z-scheme hierarchical α-MnO2@MnIn2S4 system with an atomically defined junction can improve the redox performance of semiconductors for organic synthesis and environmental remediation.

Abstract
In work, (002) oriented flower-like Bi2O2CO3(BOC) composites are synthesized by a facile chemical route and carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are modified on their surfaces through a hydrothermal method. The synthesized samples (CQD/BOC) are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), SEM, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-Vis diffuser reflectances (DRS), BET and TEM/HRTEM. The morphologies of CQD/BOC composites are the flower-like shapes, the irregular flaky structures and the fine spherical particles of CQDs attached. Photocatalytic performances were investigated in terms of removing gaseous toluene at a concentration of 94.3ppm in air, with the assistance of CQD/BOC under artificial irradiation. Our results show that CQDs modified (002) oriented Bi2O2CO3 exhibits good photocatalytic activity for toluene decomposition, which can be attributed to the enhanced efficient charge separation. A certain ratio composite photocatalyst (BOC-CQD-15) shows a toluene removal rate of 96.62% in three hours, as well as great stability. CO2 was verified to be the primary product. The oriented flower-like Bi2O2CO3 with carbon quantum dots on the surface shows great potential in the field of solar driven air purification.

Abstract
Interfacial heterostructuring has appeared to be an efficient strategy to address the efficiency and applicability of the photocatalysts in solar energy conversion. Herein, we developed one-dimensional (1D) α-Fe2O3/TiO2 nanoheterojunction arrays for enhanced photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity. α-Fe2O3 nanotubes were firstly prepared via anodization under controlled hydrodynamic conditions to increase the efficiency. 1D α-Fe2O3/TiO2 nanoheterojunction arrays were then prepared through a hydrothermal treatment and a subsequent annealing process. A controlled anodization by modulating the hydrodynamic conditions, added a fine coating of TiO2 overlayer, to finally give an optimized composition and geometry for improved light absorption and spatial charge separation efficiency. Consequently, the optimized α-Fe2O3 generated a photocurrent of 0.07 mA cm-2 (3.5 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe2O3), and the as-obtained α-Fe2O3/TiO2 nanoheterojunction exhibited a photocurrent intensity of 0.12 mA cm-2 (about 6 times higher than that of pristine α-Fe2O3). A long-term stability can also be ensured. The well-controlled architectures provides a guideline for synthesis of advanced nanomaterials.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOXs, X = Cl, Br and I) are emerging photocatalytic materials with unique layered structure, flexible band structure and superior photocatalytic activity. The purpose of this study was to develop a facile alcoholysis route to prepare BiOClxI1-x nanosheet solid solutions at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoluminescence emission spectroscopy (PL) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analyzer were used to characterize the as-prepared photocatalysts. These results revealed that two-dimension BiOClxI1-x nanosheet solid solutions could be obtained with high percentage of {001} crystal facets exposed. Moreover, the formation of solid solution could regularly change the optical absorption thresholds and band gaps of BiOClxI1-x photocatalysts. The photocatalytic experiments indicated that BiOCl0.75I0.25 exhibited the highest photocatalytic performance for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight irradiation and the photocatalytic process followed a pseudo-first-order kinetic equation. A possible mechanism of RhB photodegradation over BiOClxI1-x solid solutions was proposed based on the structural properties of BiOClxI1-x solid solutions and RhB photosensitization.
