Efficient wide-spectrum one-dimensional MWO 4 (M = Mn, Co, and Cd) photocatalysts: Synthesis, characterization and density functional theory study. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:822-835. [PMID: 38382367 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.132] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Broadening the absorption region to near-infrared (NIR) light is critical for the photocatalysis due to the larger proportion and stronger penetration of NIR light in solar energy. In the present paper, one-dimensional (1D) MWO4 (M = Mn, Co, and Cd) materials synthesized by electrospinning technique, were studied by combining the density functional theory (DFT) with experiment results, which possessed the enhanced light absorption capability within the range of 200-2000 nm. It was proved that in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) region, the absorption bands of CoWO4 and MnWO4 samples were attributed to the metal-to-metal charge transfer mechanism, while the absorption of CdWO4 sample may be referable to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer mechanism. In the near-infrared (NIR) region, the absorption of CoWO4 and MnWO4 primarily originated from the d-d orbital transitions of Mn2+ and Co2+. The photocatalytic experimental results showed that the degradation rates for bisphenol A (BPA) over CoWO4, MnWO4, and CdWO4 photocatalysts under UV-Vis/NIR light irradiation for 140 min/12 h were 78.8 %/75.9 %, 23.8 %/21.3 %, 12.8 %/8.7 %, respectively. This research offers the novel insights into the precise construction of tungstate catalytic systems and contributes to the advancement of UV-Vis-NIR full spectrum photocatalytic technology, and lays a foundation for a cleaner and more environmental-friendly future.

Abstract
Water remediation techniques like photolysis have recently piqued the interest of many researchers due to water contamination resulting from heavy industrialization and urbanization. In the current work, as-synthesized TiO2 nanorod decorated vertically aligned silicon nanowire (SiNW) leads to a hierarchical morphological structure formation. The photocatalytic nature of the fabricated SiNW/TiO2 nanoheterojunction is examined by the dye degradation of textile pollutants like methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB), and eosin B (EB). The catalytic dye degradation investigations revealed that 4 h hydrothermal synthesis of TiO2 on the surface of SiNW (ST4) exhibited excellent catalytic behaviour. In the presence of H2O2 and UV irradiation, the ST4 nanoheterostructure can degrade 98.89% of the model pollutant methylene blue (MB) in 15 min, demonstrating remarkable photocatalytic performance. The direct Z-scheme heterojunction exhibited by the SiNW/TiO2 structure facilitates a more efficient charge transfer mechanism with higher reducing and oxidizing ability leading to enhanced photocatalytic behaviour. The degradation pathway examined by LC-MS studies demonstrated the complete breakdown of the organic MB dye molecules ultimately mineralizing into CO2, H2O, and other inorganic substances. The photocatalyst ST4 exhibited excellent reusability and stability after multiple cycles of dye degradation enabling its use in practical water purification purposes.

Abstract
According to the typical Sillén-structured BiOBr, a simple solvothermal method was used to successfully synthesise Sillén-structured bimetallic oxyhalide CdBiO2Br with the existence of 1-hexadecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C16mim]Br), a kind of reactive ionic liquid. The introduction of the metal cadmium, which can form Sillén-structured bimetallic oxyhalide, made the alternating structure of BiOBr originally [Bi2O2]2+ and bilayer Br- modified to that of [CdBiO2]+ and monolayer Br-. So that the distance between layer and layer is greatly shortened, which facilitates the migration and separation of photogenerated carriers and promotes the generation of more reactive oxygen species. After modification, the band positions of CdBiO2Br materials can make more full use of visible light and more favourable utilisation of solar resources. As confirmed by radical trapping analysis and ESR analysis, superoxide radical (·O2-) and hole (h+) acted the major part during photocatalysis. The possible intermediate products that appeared during the degradation progress were analyzed by LC-MS. Moreover, the generation of superoxide ions was quantitatively analyzed by nitroblue tetrazolium chloride (NBT). In this paper, we present an ultra-thin layered material for visible light catalysis, which enlightens a feasible scheme for the research and development of new layered photocatalytic materials.

Abstract
Organic semiconductors can afford detection at wavelengths beyond commercial silicon photodetectors. However, for each targeted near-infrared wavelength range, this requires individually optimized materials, which adds to the complexity and costs. Moreover, finding molecules with strong absorption beyond 1 μm that perform well in organic photodetectors remains a challenge. In microcavity devices, the detection window can be extended to wavelengths inaccessible for silicon without the need for new materials by adopting an intelligent design. Previous work has demonstrated the applicability of a dithienopyrrole-based donor polymer (PDTPQx) in such a cavity photodetector device, with a photoresponse up to 1200 nm. In this work, the π-conjugated backbone of the polymer is extended, affording higher hole mobility and better donor:acceptor intermixing. This leads to enhanced peak external quantum efficiencies up to 1450 nm. The (thermal noise limited) detectivities achieved with the PTTPQx polymer (1.07 × 1012 to 1.82 × 1010 Jones) are among the very best in the 900-1400 nm wavelength regime.

Abstract
Due to the disorderly discharge in modern production and daily life of people, emerging contaminants(ECs) began to appear in landscape water, and have become a key public concern. Because of the unique characteristics of landscape water, it is difficult to efficiently remove ECs either by natural purification or by traditional large-scale sewage treatment facilities. The ideal purification method is to remove them while maintaining a beautiful environment. Possessing the feature of low-density, floating photocatalysts could harvest sufficient light on the surface of the water for photocatalytic degradation, which may be an important supplement for ECs treatment in landscape water. This paper gave a review related to floating photocatalysts and proposed an idea of combining floating photocatalysts to construct bionic photocatalytic materials for contaminative landscape water treatment. Six types of common floating substrates and corresponding applications for floating photocatalysts were concluded in this paper, and the main problem leading to the low efficiency of photocatalysts and three corresponding three improvement strategies were discussed. Besides, the modification mechanisms of photocatalysts were discussed thoroughly. On this basis, the engineering application prospects of bionic photocatalytic materials were proposed to remove ECs in landscape water.

Abstract
Energy shortage and global warming caused by the extensive use of fossil fuels are urgent problems to be solved at present. Photoreduction of CO2 is considered to be a feasible solution. The ternary composite catalyst g-C3 N4 /Ti3 C2 /MoSe2 was synthesized by hydrothermal method, and its physical and chemical properties were studied by an array of characterization and tests. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of this series of catalysts under full spectrum irradiation was also tested. It is found that the CTM-5 sample has the best photocatalytic activity, and the yields of CO and CH4 are 29.87 and 17.94 μmol g-1 h-1 , respectively. This can be ascribed to the favorable optical absorption performance of the composite catalyst in the full spectrum and the establishment of S-scheme charge transfer channel. The formation of heterojunctions can effectively promote charge transfer. The addition of Ti3 C2 materials provides plentiful active sites for CO2 reaction, and its superior electrical conductivity is also favorable for the migration of photogenerated electrons.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT), the most commonly used treatment method in clinics, shows unique advantages such as strong penetration, high energy intensity, and low systemic side effects. However, in vivo tumor hypoxia seriously hinders the therapeutic effect of RT. Hypoxia is a common characteristic of locally advanced solid tumor microenvironments, which leads to the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of tumor cells. In addition, oxygen consumption during RT will further aggravate tumor hypoxia, causing a variety of adverse side effects. In recent years, various biocatalytic nanomaterials (BCNs) have been explored to regulate and reverse tumor hypoxia microenvironments during RT. In this review, the most recent efforts toward developing oxygen-generating BCNs in relieving tumor hypoxia in RT are focused upon. The classification, engineering nanocatalytical activity of oxygen-generating BCNs and combined therapy based on these BCNs are systematically introduced and discussed. The challenges and prospects of these oxygen-generating BCNs in RT applications are also summarized.

Abstract
Zinc indium sulfide (ZnIn2S4), as a significant visible-light-responsive photocatalyst, has become a research hotspot to tackle energy demand and environmental issues owing to its excellent properties of high stability, easy fabrication, and remarkable catalytic activity. However, its drawbacks, including low utilization of solar light and fast photoinduced charge carriers, limit its applications. Promoting the response for near-infrared (NIR) light (~52% solar light) of ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts is the primary challenge to overcome. In this review, various modulation strategies of ZnIn2S4 have been described, which include hybrid with narrow optical gap materials, bandgap engineering, up-conversion materials, and surface plasmon materials for enhanced NIR photocatalytic performance in the applications of hydrogen evolution, pollutants purification, and CO2 reduction. In addition, the synthesis methods and mechanisms of NIR light-driven ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts are summarized. Finally, this review presents perspectives for future development of efficient NIR photon conversion of ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts.

This study investigated the degradation of methylene blue (MeB), methyl orange (MeO), and rhodamin B (RhB) by the UV/Persulfate (UV/PS) process. The dye degradation in the investigated UV-based Advanced Oxidation Processes (UV/AOPs) followed the first-order kinetic model. The second-order rate constant of the dyes with •OH, SO4•-, and CO3•- were calculated and found to be: k•OH,MeB = 5.6 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 3.3 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 6.9 × 107 M-1 s-1; k•OH,MeO = 3.2 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 13 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 4.4 × 106 M-1 s-1; k•OH,RhB = 14.8 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 5 × 109 M-1 s-1, [Formula: see text] = 1 × 107 M-1 s-1. The steady-state concentrations of •OH and SO4•- (including other reactive species) were determined using both chemical probes and modeling methods (Kintecus® V6.8). In the UV/PS, the dye degradation depends on the pH of the solution with the order: kdye (at pH of 7) > kdye (in acidic conditions) > kdye (in alkaline conditions). The presence of water matrices had different impacts on dye degradation: 1) The HCO3- and Cl- promoted the degradation efficiency of one dye, but also inhibited the degradation of other dyes; 2) Humic acid (HA) inhibited dye degradation as it scavenged both •OH and SO4•-. The degradation of the dyes by UV/PS was also compared with the UV/Chlorine (UV/HOCl) and UV/H2O2 and it was established that: 1) In UV/PS and UV/HOCl, SO4•- and RCS contributed to dye degradation more than •OH, while •OH played a major role in dye degradation by UV/H2O2; 2) The calculated toxicity in UV/PS was the lowest probably due to the low toxicity of by-products; 3) For MeO and RhB, the UV/PS process is more beneficial for the total organic carbon (TOC) removal compared to that of the UV/HOCl and UV/H2O2 processes; 4) The UV/PS showed lower cost than the UV/HOCl and UV/H2O2 systems for MeO, and RhB degradation but higher cost for MeB removal.

Abstract
In solar photocatalysis, light utilization and recycling of powder from reaction solution are the main obstructions that hinder the photocatalytic efficacy of any photocatalyst. In this respect, a floatable system is effective for efficient solar photocatalysis by light utilization. Due to the maximum solar light absorption property, floating nanocomposite photocatalyst is an appealing substitute for effective wastewater treatment. Floating photocatalysts are a non-oxygenated and non-stirred solution that is a good light harvester, stable, non-toxic, biodegradable, naturally abundant in nature. They also have low density, a simple preparation process, no need to stir, and high porosity. Due to these characteristics, floating photocatalysts are widely favored and ideal candidates for practical environmental remediation. Several researchers have come up with new and innovative ways for immobilizing capable photocatalyst on a floatable substrate to produce floating nanocomposite photocatalytic material. In recent decades, g-C3N4-based floating photocatalysts have gained a lot of attention as g-C3N4 is a visible light active photocatalyst with unique and exceptional properties. It also has good photocatalytic activity in waste water treatment and environmental remediation. Many previous reports have studied the logical design and manufacturing method for heterojunction floating photocatalysts and immobilized floating photocatalysts. Based on those studies, we have focused on the g-C3N4 based immobilized and non-immobilized floating photocatalysts for pollutant degradation. We have also categorized immobilized floating photocatalyst based on several lightweight substrates such as expanded perlite and glass microbead. In addition, future challenges have been discussed to maximize solar light absorption and to improve the efficiency of broadband response floating photocatalysts. Floating photocatalysis is an advanced technique in energy conversion and environmental remediation thus requires special consideration.

Abstract
TiO2 has great potential in photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, but poor visible light response and low separation efficiency of photogenerated electron–hole pairs limit its wide applications. In this study, we have successfully prepared TiO2/UiO-67 photocatalyst through an in situ solvothermal method. The degradation rate of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is 98.9% in only 80 min, which is superior to the commercial P25, commercial TiO2 and most of reported photocatalysts under visible light irradiation. In addition, the TiO2/UiO-67 photocatalyst showed excellent recyclability. We demonstrated that the enhanced photocatalytic mechanism was owing to the heterojunction between TiO2 and UiO-67, which enhanced effectively the separation photogenerated charge carriers and visible light response. The free radical trapping tests demonstrated that superoxide radicals (˙O2−), holes (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) were the main active species and then oxidized AFB1 to some small molecules.
