Abstract
Advances in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are intricately connected with addressing the current energy crisis and quest for sustainable energy sources. The necessity of catalysts that are efficient and inexpensive to perform the hydrogen evolution reaction is key to this. Following the ground-breaking discovery of graphene, metal thio/seleno phosphates (MPX3: M - transition metal, P - phosphorus and X - S/Se), two dimensional (2D) materials, exhibit excellent tunable physicochemical, electronic and optical properties, and are expected to be key to the energy industry for years to come. Taking this into account, a facile time-effective electrostatic restacking synthesis procedure has been followed to synthesize a 2D/2D heterostructure (FePS3@BCN) involving FePS3, one of the prominent MPX3 materials, with borocarbonitride (BCN), for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The piled up nanosheets of FePS3 and BCN are held together by an electrostatic force, and display extreme robustness under the harsh conditions of HER application. The amalgamated electrocatalyst achieved an overpotential of 187 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a shallow Tafel slope of 41 mV dec-1, following the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism. The resilience of the electrocatalyst has been examined through chronoamperometric testing for long term stability, and it is stable for more than 14 hours, which shows the excellent electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction owing to the strategic approach to the catalyst design, the use of numerous electrochemically active sites, large surface area and a barrier-free channel for quick ion transfer.

Abstract
The recalcitrant nature of emerging contaminants (ECs) in aquatic environments necessitates the development of effective strategies for their remediation, given the considerable impacts they pose on both human health and the delicate balance of the ecosystem. Semiconductor-based photocatalytic technology is recognized for its dual benefits in effectively addressing both ECs and energy-related challenges simultaneously. Among the plethora of photocatalysts, black phosphorus (BP) stands as a promising nonmetallic candidate, offering a host of advantages including its tunable direct band gap, broad-spectrum light absorption capabilities, and exceptional charge mobility. Nevertheless, pristine BP frequently underperforms, primarily due to issues related to its limited ambient stability and the rapid recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. To overcome these challenges, substantial research efforts have been devoted to the creation of BP-based photocatalysts in recent years. However, there is a noticeable absence of reviews regarding the advancement of BP-based materials for the degradation of ECs in aqueous solutions. Therefore, to fill this gap, a comprehensive review is undertaken. In this review, we first present an in-depth examination of the fabrication processes for bulk BP and BP nanosheets (BPNS). The review conducts a thorough analysis and comparison of the merits and limitations inherent in each method, thereby delineating the most auspicious avenues for future research. Then, in line with the pathways followed by photogenerated electron-hole pairs at the interface, BP-based photocatalysts are systematically categorized into heterojunctions (Type I, Type II, Z-scheme, and S-scheme) and hybrids, and their photocatalytic performances against various ECs and the corresponding degradation mechanisms are comprehensively summarized. Finally, this review presents personal insights into the prospective avenues for advancing the field of BP-based photocatalysts for ECs remediation.

Abstract
The core factors affecting the efficiency of photocatalysis are predominantly centered on controllable modulation of anisotropic spatial charge separation/transfer and regulating vectorial charge transport pathways in photoredox catalysis, yet it still meets with limited success. Herein, we first conceptually demonstrate the rational design of unidirectional cascade charge transfer channels over transition metal chalcogenide nanosheets (TMC NSs: ZnIn2S4, CdS, CdIn2S4, and In2S3), which is synergistically enabled by a solid-state non-conjugated polymer, i.e., poly(diallyldimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA), and MXene quantum dots (MQDs). In such elaborately designed photosystems, an ultrathin PDDA layer functions as an intermediate charge transport mediator to relay the directional electron transfer from TMC NSs to MQDs that serve as the ultimate electron traps, resulting in a considerably boosted charge separation/migration efficiency. The suitable energy level alignment between TMC NSs and MQDs, concurrent electron-withdrawing capabilities of the ultrathin PDDA interim layer and MQDs, and the charge transport cascade endow the self-assembled TMC/PDDA/MQD heterostructured photosystems with conspicuously improved photoactivities toward anaerobic selective reduction of nitroaromatics to amino derivatives and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation. Furthermore, we ascertain that this concept of constructing a charge transfer cascade in such TMC-insulating polymer-MQD photosystems is universal. Our work would afford novel insights into smart design of spatial vectorial charge transport pathways by precise interface modulation via non-conjugated polymers for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Over the last few years, industrial and anthropogenic activities have increased the presence of organic pollutants such as dyes, herbicides, pesticides, analgesics, and antibiotics in the water that adversely affect human health and the environment worldwide. Photocatalytic treatment is considered a promising, economical, effective, and sustainable process that utilizes light energy to degrade the pollutants in water. However, certain drawbacks like rapid recombination and low migration capability of photogenerated electrons and holes have restricted the use of photo-catalysts in industries. Hence, despite the abundance of lab-scale research, the technology is still not much commercialized in the mainstream. Several structural modifications in the photo-catalysts have been adopted to enhance the pollutant degradation performance to overcome the same. In this context, the present review article outlines the different advanced heterostructures synthesized to date for improved degradation of three major organic pollutants: antibiotics, dyes, and pesticides. Moreover, the article also emphasizes the degradation kinetics of photo-catalysts and the publication trend in the past decade along with the roadblocks preventing the transfer of technology from the laboratory to industry and new age photo-catalysts for the profitable implications in industrial sectors.

Abstract
Energy shortages and greenhouse effects are two unavoidable problems that need to be solved. Photocatalytically converting CO2 into a series of valuable chemicals is considered to be an effective means of solving the above dilemmas. Among these photocatalysts, the utilization of black phosphorus for CO2 photocatalytic reduction deserves a lightspot not only for its excellent catalytic activity through different reaction routes, but also on account of the great preponderance of this relatively cheap catalyst. Herein, this review offers a summary of the recent advances in synthesis, structure, properties, and application for CO2 photocatalytic reduction. In detail, the review starts from the basic principle of CO2 photocatalytic reduction. In the following section, the synthesis, structure, and properties, as well as CO2 photocatalytic reduction process of black phosphorus-based photocatalyst are discussed. In addition, some possible influencing factors and reaction mechanism are also summarized. Finally, a summary and the possible future perspectives of black phosphorus-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction are established.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX), as a typical photocatalytic material, have attracted much attention due to their unique layered structure, non-toxicity and excellent stability. However, the photocatalytic performance of BiOX is limited by their weak light absorption ability and rapid recombination of photo-generated carriers. In the present work, first-principles calculations have been performed to comprehensively explore the structural, electronic and optical properties of black phosphorus (BP)/BiOX (X = Cl, Br, I) heterostructures, revealing the inherent reasons for their enhanced photocatalytic performance. By combining band structures and work function analysis, the migration paths of photo-generated electrons and holes are obtained, proving a direct Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism in BP/BiOX heterostructures. Moreover, the BP/BiOX heterostructures have decent band edge positions, which are suitable for photocatalytic overall water splitting. Compared with single BiOX, the light absorption performance of BP/BiOX heterostructures is significantly improved, in which BP/BiOI exhibits the highest optical absorption coefficient among the BP/BiOX heterostructures. Meanwhile, the better carrier migration performance of the BP/BiOX heterostructures is attributed to the reduction in effective mass. The present work offers theoretical insight into the application of BP/BiOX heterostructures as prominent photocatalysts for water splitting.

Abstract
Pancake-like TiO2 (M-TiO2) derived from the metal-organic framework was inlaid into three-dimensional flower-like BiOI through a facile solvothermal method. M-TiO2 supplies large surface area and mesoporous structure for attachment and transfer of the substrates and products, while BiOI acts as a photosensitizer to absorb visible light and generates electrons and holes. The distinct structure of M-TiO2/BiOI gives a favorable contact between the two monomers, and promotes the transfer of charge carriers. In conjunction with the proper band positions of M-TiO2 and BiOI, the efficient separation of electron-hole pairs is attained. Benefiting from the above cooperative effects of M-TiO2 and BiOI, the performance for the vanillin generation from sodium lignosulfonate (SLS) over M-TiO2/BiOI composites has a prominent improvement under visible light. Specifically, the yield over optimal M-TiO2/BiOI sample is about 5.8 mg/gSLS, obviously superior to that over pristine M-TiO2 (~1 mg/gSLS) and BiOI (~1.1 mg/gSLS). It is found that h+ and O2- play the key role for vanillin generation from sodium lignosulfonate, and the low vanillin generation under UV-vis light sheds light on that OH is an adverse factor. We hoped that this work could inspire the studies on the photocatalytic valorization of biomass using noble metal-free catalysts.

Abstract
Low redox ability and severe photocorrosion limit the photocatalytic activity of metal sulfides. Herein, step-scheme (S-scheme) heterojunction composited by diethylenetriamine (DETA) ammoniated MnS (α-MnS) and Bi2MoO6 with Bi surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was successfully fabricated (Bi-5 %M/BMO). This special electron transport structure effectively suppresses the photocorrosion of α-MnS and makes photocatalysts with high redox ability. DETA was protonated to form positively charged ammonium ions and they are easy to combine with acid gas CO2, reducing the activation energy of CO2, building an efficient catalytic reaction system, and improving CO2 reduction efficiency. The CO evolution rate of Bi-5 %M/BMO (61.11 μmol g-1h-1) is 2.42, 7.89 and 5.01 times greater than that of 5 %M/BMO, pure α-MnS hollow spheres and Bi2MoO6, respectively. This indicates that Bi SPR effect can promote the separation of photon-generated electron-hole pairs dramatically. The ammoniated S-scheme heterostructure decorated with the SPR effect may provide a new perspective to design heterojunction.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) has been regarded as one of the most potential photocatalysts for degradation of the pollutants, due to the tunable elements in the laminates, high surface area and exposed active sites. Developing a photocatalyst with a visible light activity and fast charge separation efficiency is a main research focus. In this work, a central-collapsed CoFeAl-LDHs was formed via the selective etching Al3+ in the laminates, which relied on the function of OH- produced by urea hydrolysis. The Central-collapsed structure of CoFeAl-LDHs exhibited enhanced adsorption activity and photocatalytic efficiency. The results show that the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model are suitable for adsorption behavior. This etching cavity is beneficial to the adsorption of MB and provides a better platform for the direct interaction between MB and CoFeAl-LDHs. The morphology and photoelectrochemical properties of the central-collapsed structure of LDHs were characterized and used to explore the relationship between the etching degree and photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic properties of all the samples under visible light irradiation were evaluated, and LDH-6 has the best photocatalytic activity. This work provides a novel approach for the fabrication of central-collapsed structure of layered double hydroxides photocatalysts to meet environmental and energy requirements.

Abstract
Two-dimensional antimonene has many potential applications for its high mobility, high stability, and tunable band gap. The covalent chemistry of antimonene and the molecular doping or hybrid of antimonene remain incomplete for further applications. In this work, silane-functionalized antimonene nanosheets and their copolymerized organically modified silicate gel glasses are designed and prepared. The experimental data confirmed that 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane interacts covalently with antimonene. Compared with unfunctionalized antimonene, the silane-functionalized antimonene shows higher concentration, higher compatibility, and dispersion stability in solvents and gel matrices. In particular, the doping concentration of functionalized antimonene nanosheets can reach 2% in gel glass, which is larger than conventional nanocomposites and nanohybrids. These nanosheets exhibit outstanding optical limiting performance in the visible and long-wavelength near-infrared regions (532-2150 nm). The mechanism of optical limiting is found to be a combination of nonlinear absorption, nonlinear refraction, and nonlinear scattering. The silane-functionalized antimonene nanosheets and their copolymerized hybrids will be promising materials for optoelectronics, biology, energy, and others.

Abstract
The semiconductor photocatalyst is crucial for dealing with the current environmental and energy crises. However, the large-scale applications of the reported semiconductor materials are hampered by the recombination of electrons and holes, low kinetic properties, and slow reaction rates. Herein, a three-dimensional structured kaolin/hydrothermally treated red phosphorus (K/HRP) composite photocatalyst was synthesized. The composition ratio was optimized, and the K7/HRP composites (contained 7%) exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The rhodamine B photodegradation rate constant and the hydrogen production rate were 0.25 min-1 and 252 μmol h-1 g-1, which were higher than those of HRP by 12.4 and 7.2 times, respectively. The enhancement of the HRP photocatalytic activity was attributed to the presence of K, which inhibited the overgrowth and the agglomeration of HRP and shortened the carrier migration distance. The electrostatic interaction between the K and the HRP effectively promoted the separation of photogenerated charge carriers. In addition, the three-dimensional structure of the K and the HRP construct enhanced the light absorption and provided a pollution-free and large-area transport interface for carriers. This work has paramount guiding importance in the preparation of high-efficiency, cheap, and recyclable nanocomposite photocatalyst materials.

Construction of cerium oxide nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of zinc vanadate nanoflowers for accelerated photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline under visible light irradiation. J Colloid Interface Sci 2020; 587:831-844. [PMID: 33248700 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2020.11.044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2020] [Revised: 11/06/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Construction of Z-scheme heterojunction has been deemed to be an effective and promising approach to boost the photocatalytic activity on account of accelerating the separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers and maintaining the strong redox ability. Herein, an attractive CeO2/Zn3V2O8 Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was rationally constructed by zero-dimensional (0D) CeO2 nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of three-dimensional (3D) Zn3V2O8 nanoflowers using a simple mixing method, and applied to the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. As expected, it was observed that the prepared CeO2/Zn3V2O8 hybrid illustrated significantly boosted the photocatalytic activity for the elimination of TC compared to pure Zn3V2O8. More importantly, the optimized CeO2(40 wt%)/Zn3V2O8 hybrid owned the largest elimination rate of TC with 1.13 × 10-2 min-1, which was around 8.1 and 3.8 times as high as single CeO2 (0.14 × 10-2 min-1) and Zn3V2O8 (0.30 × 10-2 min-1), respectively. The appreciable performance improvement was mainly ascribed to the formation of Z-scheme heterojunction between CeO2 and Zn3V2O8, facilitating the transfer rate of photogenerated carriers and remaining the high reducibility of photoexcited electrons in CeO2 and strong oxidizability of photoinduced holes in Zn3V2O8. Active species capture experiments and electron spin resonance spectra showed that superoxide radicals and holes were the main active species for TC degradation. Besides, the possible degradation pathways of TC were speculated by identifying degradation intermediates, and the reasonable degradation mechanism including migration and transport behaviors of charge carriers and generation processes of reactive species were revealed in depth. This investigation enriches Zn3V2O8-based Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic system and offers a new inspiration for the construction and fabrication of high-efficiency Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts to remove the antibiotics from wastewater.

Visible light-driven photoelectrochemical ampicillin aptasensor based on an artificial Z-scheme constructed from Ru(bpy) 32+-sensitized BiOI microspheres. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 173:112771. [PMID: 33190051 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 10/26/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Dye sensitization is an alternative strategy to improve photoelectric activity of semiconductors and, particularly, to enhance the activity towards visible light domain. Herein, an artificial Z-scheme bipyridine ruthenium (Ru(bpy)32+) sensitizing narrow-gap bismuth oxy-iodide (BiOI) microspheres was constructed by a simple electrostatic interaction strategy for the first time. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and photoluminescence (PL) analysis showed that this design of such Z-scheme structure was helpful to enhance the interfacial charge transfer and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency. In addition, due to the sensitization of Ru(bpy)32+, the band gap was narrowed from 1.8 eV of BiOI microspheres to 1.3 eV of BiOI/Ru(bpy)32+ microspheres, leading to improve the utilization of visible light. So that, the photocurrent of the resulted BiOI/Ru(bpy)32+ was 13.0 times that of pure BiOI microspheres. In view of the outstanding photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance of BiOI/Ru(bpy)32+ and the high specificity of the aptamer, the PEC aptasensor for ampicillin (AMP) merits the excellent detection performance including a broad linear ranging from 1 × 10-7 nM to 100 nM as well as a low detection limit of 3.3 × 10-8 nM (S/N = 3). This work not only provides a novel way to construct and design highly efficient photoactive materials for PEC detection, but also broadens the application of Z-scheme in the field of sensing.
