Abstract
Oxygen vacancy defects (OVs) are one of the main strategies for nanomaterials modification to improve the photoactivity, but current methods for fabricating OVs are usually complicated and harsh. It is important to develop simple, rapid, safe, and mild methods to fabricate OVs. By studying the effects of different weak reducing agents, the concentration of the reducing agent and the reaction time on fabrication of OVs, it is found that L-ascorbic acid (AA) gently and rapidly induces the increase of OVs in Bi4O5Br2 at room temperature. The increased OVs not only improve the adsorption of visible light, but also enhance the photocurrent response. Based on this, the preparation of OVs in Bi4O5Br2 is employed to the development of a photoelectrochemical biosensor for the detection of DNA demethylase of methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2). The biosensor shows a wide linear range of 0.1-400 ng mL-1 and a detection limit as low as 0.03 ng mL-1 (3σ). In addition, the effect of plasticizers on MBD2 activity is evaluated using this sensor. This work not only provides a novel method to prepare OVs in bismuth rich materials, but also explores a new novel evaluation tool for studying the ecotoxicological effects of contaminants.

Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production by space separation of photo-generated charges from S-scheme ZnIn 2S 4/ZnO heterojunction. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 650:784-797. [PMID: 37441971 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.07.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/15/2023]
Abstract
ZnIn2S4/ZnO heterostructures have been achieved by a simple in-situ growth solvothermal method. Under full spectrum irradiation, the optimal photocatalyst 2ZnIn2S4/ZnO exhibits H2 evolution rate of 13,638 (water/ethanol = 1:1) and 3036 (water) μmol·g-1h-1, which is respectively 4 and 5 times higher than that of pure ZnIn2S4. In situ illumination X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ISI-XPS) analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the electrons of ZnIn2S4 are removed to ZnO through hybridization and form an internal electric field between ZnIn2S4 and ZnO. The optical properties of the catalyst and the effect of internal electric field (IEF) can increase photo-generated electrons (e-)-holes (h+) transport rate and enhance light collection, resulting in profitable photocatalytic properties. The photoelectrochemical and EPR results show that a stepped (S-scheme) heterojunction is formed in the ZnIn2S4/ZnO redox center, which greatly promotes separation of e--h+ pairs and efficient H2 evolution. This research offers an effective method for constructing an efficient S-Scheme photocatalytic system for H2 evolution.

Unraveling the atomic-level vacancy modulation in Cu 9S 5 for NIR-driven efficient inhibition of drug-resistant bacteria: Key role of Cu vacancy position.

Abstract
Cu9S5 possesses high hole concentration and potential superior electrical conductivity as a novel p-type semiconductor, whose biological applications remain largely unexploited. Encouraged by our recent work that Cu9S5 has enzyme-like antibacterial activity in the absence of light, which may further enhance the near infrared (NIR) antibacterial performance. Moreover, vacancy engineering can modulate the electronic structure of the nanomaterials and thus optimize their photocatalytic antibacterial activities. Here, we designed two different atomic arrangements with same VCuSCu vacancies of Cu9S5 nanomaterials (CSC-4 and CSC-3) determined by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Aiming at CSC-4 and CSC-3 as a model system, for the first time, we investigated the key role of different copper (Cu) vacancies positions in vacancy engineering toward optimizing the photocatalytic antibacterial properties of the nanomaterials. Combined with the experimental and theoretical approach, CSC-3 exhibited stronger absorption energy of surface adsorbate (LPS and H2O), longer lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers (4.29 ns), and lower reaction active energy (0.76 eV) than those of CSC-4, leading to the generation of abundant ·OH for attaining rapid drug-resistant bacteria killed and wound healed under NIR light irradiation. This work provided a novel insight for the effective inhibition of drug-resistant bacteria infection via vacancy engineering at the atomic-level modulation.

Abstract
The effectiveness of photocatalysts can be impacted by the high compounding efficiency of photogenerated carriers, which depends on the morphology of the photocatalyst. Here, a hydrangea-like N-ZnO/BiOI composite has been prepared for achieving efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) under visible light. The N-ZnO/BiOI exhibits a high photocatalytic performance, degrading nearly 90% of TCH within 160 min. After 3 cycling runs, the photodegradation efficiency remained above 80%, demonstrating its good recyclability and stability. The major active species at work are superoxide radicals (·O2 -) and photo-induced holes (h+) in the photocatalytic degradation of TCH. This work provides not only a new idea for the design of photodegradable materials but also a new method for the effective degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Defect engineering is recognized as an effective route to obtaining highly active photocatalytic materials. However, the current understanding of the role of defects in photocatalysts mainly comes from their independent functional analysis, ignoring the synergy between defects and the chemical environment, especially with crystal facets. Herein, oxygen vacancy (VO)-rich TiO2 nanostructures with different dominant exposed facets were prepared, and the microstructural changes induced by the synergy between the VO and facet effect and the performance difference of photocatalytic O2 activation were explored. The results showed that the combination of high concentration VO and the {101} facet is more conducive to improving the photocatalytic performance of TiO2, which is significantly superior to the combination of low concentration VO and the {101} facet as well as the combination of high concentration VO and the {001} facet. The experimental and theoretical results clarified the dependence of each stage of photocatalysis on two factors. Specifically, VO plays a more significant role in energy band regulation, improving the dynamic behavior of photogenerated charges and enhancing the adsorption and activation of O2, while the facet effect made more contributions to reducing the thermodynamic energy barrier of ROS formation and conversion. The excellent ability of O2 activation enables T101-VO to show potential application characteristics in the removal of RhB and bacterial disinfection. This work established a link between defect and facet effects, providing new insights into understanding defect function in photocatalysts.

Recent Developments in Heterogeneous Photocatalysts with Near-Infrared Response. Symmetry (Basel) 2022.

Abstract
Photocatalytic technology has been considered as an efficient protocol to drive chemical reactions in a sustainable and green way. With the assistance of semiconductor-based materials, heterogeneous photocatalysis converts solar energy directly into chemical energy that can be readily stored. It has been employed in several fields including CO2 reduction, H2O splitting, and organic synthesis. Given that near-infrared (NIR) light occupies 47% of sunlight, photocatalytic systems with a NIR response are gaining more and more attention. To enhance the solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency, precise regulation of the symmetric/asymmetric nanostructures and band structures of NIR-response photocatalysts is indispensable. Under the irradiation of NIR light, the symmetric nano-morphologies (e.g., rod-like core-shell shape), asymmetric electronic structures (e.g., defect levels in band gap) and asymmetric heterojunctions (e.g., PN junctions, semiconductor-metal or semiconductor-dye composites) of designed photocatalytic systems play key roles in promoting the light absorption, the separation of electron/hole pairs, the transport of charge carriers to the surface, or the rate of surface photocatalytic reactions. This review will comprehensively analyze the four main synthesis protocols for the fabrication of NIR-response photocatalysts with improved reaction performance. The design methods involve bandgap engineering for the direct utilization of NIR photoenergy, the up-conversion of NIR light into ultraviolet/visible light, and the photothermal effect by converting NIR photons into local heat. Additionally, challenges and perspectives for the further development of heterogeneous photocatalysts with NIR response are also discussed based on their potential applications.

Abstract
Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit broad application prospects in many fields due to the enhanced specific surface area to volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Because of the atomic thickness and various orientations, ultrathin 2D materials exposing specific facets have drawn great attention for various applications in catalysis, batteries, optoelectronics, magnetism, epitaxial template for material growth, etc. Though maintaining the atomic thickness of 2D materials while controlling crystal facets is an enormous challenge, breakthroughs are being made. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in the facet engineering of 2D materials, ranging from a basic understanding of facets and the corresponding approaches and the significance of facet engineering. We also propose current challenges and forecast future development directions including the establishment of a facet database, the fabrication of new 2D materials, the design of specific substrates, and the introduction of theoretical calculations and in situ characterization techniques. This review can guide researchers to design ultrathin 2D materials with unique and distinct facets and provide an insight into the applications of energy, magnetism, optics, biomedicine, and other fields.

Abstract
The development of intercalation anodes with high capacity is key to promote the progress of "rocking-chair" Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs). Here, layered BiOI is considered as a promising electrode in ZIBs due to its large interlayer distance (0.976 nm) and low Zn2+ diffusion barrier (0.57 eV) obtained by density functional theory, and a free-standing BiOI nanopaper is designed. The process and mechanism of Zn(H2O)n2+ insertion in BiOI are proved by ex situ X-ray diffraction, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The suitable potential (0.6 V vs Zn/Zn2+), high reversible capacity (253 mAh g-1), good rate performance (171 mAh g-1 at 10 A g-1), long cyclic life (113 mAh g-1 after 5000 cycles at 5 A g-1), and dendrite-free operation of BiOI nanopaper prove its potential as a superior anode. When it is coupled with Mn3O4 cathode, the quasi-solid-state battery exhibits a high initial capacity of 149 mAh g-1 (for anode) and a good capacity retention of 70 mAh g-1 after 400 cycles. The self-assembled flexible battery also shows stable charge-discharge during the cyclic test. This work shows the feasibility of BiOX anode for dendrite-free ZIBs.

Abstract
Vacancy engineering can modulate the electronic structure of the material and thus contribute to the formation of coordination unsaturated sites, which makes it easier to act on the substrate. Herein, Ag2 S and Ag2 S-100, which mainly have vacancy associates VAgS and VAgSAg , respectively, are prepared and characterized by positron annihilation spectroscopy. Both experimental and theoretical calculation results indicate that Ag2 S-100 exhibits excellent antibacterial activity due to its appropriate bandgap and stronger bacteria-binding ability, which endow it with a superior antibacterial activity compared to Ag2 S in the absence of light. The in vivo antibacterial experiment using a mouse wound-infection model further confirms that Ag2 S-100 has excellent antibacterial and wound-healing properties. This research provides clues for a deeper understanding of modulating electronic structures through vacancy engineering and develops a strategy for effective treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
The saturable absorption properties of BiOI nanosheets with exposed {110} facets prepared by the chemical vapor transport were investigated by Z-scan with femtosecond pulse laser. The nonlinear absorption coefficient at 400 nm is stronger and more sensitive to photoexcitation than its nonlinear response at 800 nm. The small saturation intensity could have been achieved, which is one order of magnitude smaller than that of black phosphorus nanosheets, while the Imχ(3) are determined to be -4.35×10-12esu close to theoretical prediction. According to time-resolved photoluminescence spectrum results, this strong saturated absorption at 400 nm may be attributed to the interband recombination process, whose lifetime was 230 ps.

Abstract
Effective separation of photoexcited carriers and chemisorption of the N2 molecule are two key issues to efficient nitrogen photofixation. The spatial charge separation of BiVO4 with anisotropic exposed facets, namely the transfer of photoexcited electrons and holes to {010} and {110} facets, respectively, helps to enhance the separation ability of photogenerated carriers. Theoretical calculation results predict that a surface oxygen vacancy is easier to form on the (010) facet than on the (110) facet of BiVO4. Accordingly, in this study, enhanced N2 photofixation performance has been achieved for the first time by tuning the exposure of {010} facets of BiVO4. Effective separation of photoexcited carriers and chemisorption of the N2 molecule are two key issues to efficient nitrogen photofixation.![]()

Abstract
Herein, an efficient strategy is demonstrated to prepare a visible-light-driven Nb/Se co-doped BiOI photocatalyst with exposed (110) facets. The results show that its photocatalytic activity is around 17 times higher than that of pure BiOI. This work paves the way towards the fabrication of efficient photocatalysts that have tunable charge dynamics.

Abstract
Photocatalysis technology using solar energy for hydrogen (H2 ) production still faces great challenges to design and synthesize highly efficient photocatalysts, which should realize the precise regulation of reactive sites, rapid migration of photoinduced carriers and strong visible light harvest. Here, a facile hierarchical Z-scheme system with ZnIn2 S4 /BiVO4 heterojunction is proposed, which can precisely regulate redox centers at the ZnIn2 S4 /BiVO4 hetero-interface by accelerating the separation and migration of photoinduced charges, and then enhance the oxidation and reduction ability of holes and electrons, respectively. Therefore, the ZnIn2 S4 /BiVO4 heterojunction exhibits excellent photocatalytic performance with a much higher H2 -evolution rate of 5.944 mmol g-1 h-1 , which is about five times higher than that of pure ZnIn2 S4 . Moreover, this heterojunction shows good stability and recycle ability, providing a promising photocatalyst for efficient H2 production and a new strategy for the manufacture of remarkable photocatalytic materials.
