SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 316:124331. [PMID: 38669983 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.124331] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Herein, a collection of novel N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x composites are fabricated via a simple in-situ sonochemical process. Not only the preparation method for N-Ti3C2 but also the photocatalytic system of N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x are firstly developed. Multiple characterizations jointly demonstrate the successful fabrication of the composites. Compared to that of BiOClxBr1-x, the maximum improvements of 1.16, 1.25 and 1.26 folds are severally confirmed for the photocatalytic degradation of levofloxacin, Rhodamine B, and methylene blue over N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x composites. In addition, through radicals trapping tests, the primary active species in photocatalytic degradation process are verified to be O2-. Moreover, N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x composites also exhibit 1.18 and 1.14 times enhancements for NH3 production compared with that of BiOClxBr1-x with or without the presence of methanol, respectively. In addition, the maximum improvements of photo-current and photo-potential for BiOClxBr1-x are 1.29 and 1.86 folds with the introduction of N-Ti3C2, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x composites is owing to the heightened light absorption, increased specific surface area, and accelerated separation of photoinduced carriers. Additionally, the stable photocatalytic properties of N-Ti3C2/BiOClxBr1-x are confirmed by three photocatalytic recycle tests on pollutant degradation and nitrogen reduction combined with X-ray diffraction patterns before and after three recycles. This study suggests that N-Ti3C2 is an efficient ornamentation for boosting photocatalytic activity ofBiOClxBr1-x, which can also be expanded as a promising modifier for other semiconductors.

Abstract
The prevailing theoretical frameworks indicate that depending on the growth conditions, the Bi2WO6(001) surface can manifest in three distinct terminations-DL-O-Bi (DL: double layers), O-Bi, and O-W. In this study, we conduct a comprehensive examination of the interplay between these terminations on Bi2WO6(001) and the 1I-terminated BiOI(001) facet, especially focusing on their impact on the photocatalytic activity of Bi2WO6/BiOI heterostructure, applying hybrid functional calculations. The models formulated for this research are designated as Bi2WO6(O-Bi)/BiOI(1I), Bi2WO6(DL-O-Bi)/BiOI(1I), and Bi2WO6(O-W)/BiOI(1I). Our findings reveal that Bi2WO6(O-Bi)/BiOI(1I) shows a type II band alignment, which facilitates the spatial separation of photo-generated electrons and holes. Notably, the Bi2WO6(DL-O-Bi)/BiOI(1I) configuration has the lowest binding energy and results in an S-scheme (or Step-scheme) heterostructure. In contrast to the type II heterostructure, this particular configuration demonstrates enhanced photocatalytic efficiency due to improved photo-generated carrier separation, augmented oxidation capability, and better visible-light absorption. Conversely, Bi2WO6(O-W)/BiOI(1I) presents a type I projected band structure, which is less conducive for the separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. In summation, this investigation points out that one could significantly refine the photocatalytic efficacy of not only Bi2WO6/BiOI but also other heterostructure photocatalysts by modulating the coupling of different terminations via precise crystal synthesis or growth conditions.

Abstract
The recent outbreak of Covid-19 guarantees overconsumption of different drugs as a necessity to reduce the symptoms caused by this pandemic. This triggers the proliferation of pharmaceuticals into drinking water systems. Is there any hope for access to safe drinking water? Photocatalytic degradation using artificial Z-scheme photocatalysts that has been employed for over a decade conveys a prospect for sustainable clean water supply. It is compelling to comprehensively summarise the state-of-the-art effects of Z-scheme photocatalytic systems towards the removal of pharmaceuticals in water. The principle of Z-scheme and the techniques used to validate the Z-scheme interfacial charge transfer are explored in detail. The application of the Z-scheme photocatalysts towards the degradation of antibiotics, NSAIDs, and bacterial/viral inactivation is deliberated. Conclusions and stimulating standpoints on the challenges of this emergent research direction are presented. The insights and up-to-date information will prompt the up-scaling of Z- scheme photocatalytic systems for commercialization.

Abstract
Light activation is an effective method to improve sensor performance at room temperature (RT). This work realized the effective detection of trace-level NO2 at RT under visible light by combining ZnO with the excellent photocatalyst BiOI. A 1.5 atom % BiOI-ZnO-based sensor under 520 nm light exhibited optimal sensing properties with the maximum responses (13.9 to 1 ppm NO2), fast response/recovery time (66 s/47 s to 1 ppm), and a low detection limit of 25 ppb (theoretically 0.34 ppb). In the meantime, the sensor also possessed excellent selectivity, repeatability, and stability. The excellent properties were attributed to the high concentration of oxygen vacancies and the prolonged lifetime of photogenerated carriers. In addition, the observed photovoltaic effect of the sensor at RT indicated that the sensor held application prospects in the photovoltaic self-power field.

Abstract
Organic dye and antibiotic residues are some of the key substances that can contaminate the environment due to their wide usage in various industries and modern medicine. The degradation of these substances present in waterbodies is essential while contemplating human health. Photocatalysts (PSs) are promising materials that develop highly reactive species instantly by simple solar energy conversion for degrading the organic dye and antibiotic residues and converting them into nontoxic products. Among numerous semiconductors, the bismuth (Bi)-containing PS has received great attention due to its strong sunlight absorption, facile preparation, and high photostability. Owing to the technology advancement and demerits of the traditional methods, a Bi-containing direct Z-scheme PS has been developed for efficient photogenerated charge carrier separation and strong redox proficiency. In this review, a synthetic Bi-based Z-scheme heterojunction that mimics natural photosynthesis is described, and its design, fabrication methods, and applications are comprehensively reviewed. Specifically, the first section briefly explains the role of various semiconductors in the environmental applications and the importance of the Bi-based materials for constructing the Z-scheme photocatalytic systems. In the successive section, overview of Z-scheme PS are concisely discussed. The fourth and fifth sections extensively explain the degradation of the organic dyes and antibiotics utilizing the Bi-based direct Z-scheme heterojunction. Eventually, the conclusions and future perspectives of this emerging research field are addressed. Overall, this review is potentially useful for the researchers involved in the environmental remediation field as a collection of up-to-date research articles for the fabrication of the Bi-containing direct Z-scheme PS.

Abstract
To achieve high sensitivity for biomolecule detection in photoelectrochemical (PEC) bioanalysis, the ideal photoelectrode and ingenious signaling mechanism play crucial roles. Herein, the feasibility of the photogenerated hole-induced chemical-chemical redox cycling amplification strategy on a Z-scheme heterostructure photoelectrode was validated, and the strategy toward enhanced multiple signal amplification for advanced PEC immunoassay application was developed. Specifically, a direct Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure was synthesized via a classic hydrothermal method and served as a photoelectrode for the signal response. Under the illumination, the PEC chemical-chemical redox cycling (PECCC) among 4-aminophenol generated by the enzymatic catalysis from a sandwich immunoassay, ferrocene as a mediator, and tris (2-carboxyethyl) phosphine as a reducing agent was run on the Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure photoelectrode. Exemplified by interleukin-6 (IL-6) as the target, the applicability of the strategy was studied in a PEC immunoassay. Thanks to the multiple signal amplification originating from the high efficiency of the PECCC redox cycling system, the enzymatic amplification, and the fine performance of the Z-scheme Bi2S3/Bi2MoO6 heterostructure photoelectrode, the assay for IL-6 exhibits a very low detection limit of 2.0 × 10-14 g/mL with a linear range from 5.0 × 10-14 to 1.0 × 10-8 g/mL. This work first validates the feasibility of the PECCC redox cycling on the Z-scheme heterostructure photoelectrode and the good performance of the strategy in PEC bioanalysis. We envision that it would provide a new prospective for highly sensitive PEC bioanalysis on the basis of a Z-scheme heterostructure.

Abstract
The continuous growth of fossil fuel consumption and large amounts of CO2 emissions have caused global energy crisis and climate change. The employment of semiconductor photocatalysts to convert CO2 into value-added products has attracted extensive attention and research worldwide in recent years. However, it is difficult for a single-component semiconductor photocatalyst to achieve this goal efficiently due to its drawbacks, such as low quantum efficiency, limited surface area, limited number of active sites, the short lifetime of photogenerated carriers, poor long-term stability, and the weak redox ability of carriers. Fortunately, inspired by photosynthesis, the construction of an artificial Z-scheme heterojunction has brought a new dawn for the realization of this goal. The Z-scheme heterojunction has a high separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs with strong redox ability and a wide light response range. The abovementioned advantages make the Z-scheme heterojunction provide a great opportunity for the conversion of CO2 to value-added chemicals. This review concisely reports the progress of the Z-scheme heterojunction in the field of photocatalytic CO2 reduction in recent years, photocatalytic mechanism, choice of oxidation and reduction systems, strategies for improving efficiency, confirmation of the Z-scheme charge transport mechanism, problems and challenges, and the prospects for the future.
