Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) stands out as a versatile transition-metal oxide with applications ranging from energy conversion/storage and environmental remediation to sensors and optoelectronics. While extensively researched for these emerging applications, TiO2 has also achieved commercial success in various fields including paints, inks, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and advanced medicine. Thanks to the tunability of their structural, morphological, optical, and electronic characteristics, TiO2 nanomaterials are among the most researched engineering materials. Besides these inherent advantages, the low cost, low toxicity, and biocompatibility of TiO2 nanomaterials position them as a sustainable choice of functional materials for energy conversion. Although TiO2 is a classical photocatalyst well-known for its structural stability and high surface activity, TiO2-based photocatalysis is still an active area of research particularly in the context of catalyzing artificial photosynthesis. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and emerging trends in TiO2 heterostructures and hybrids for artificial photosynthesis. It begins by discussing the common synthesis methods for TiO2 nanomaterials, including hydrothermal synthesis and sol-gel synthesis. It then delves into TiO2 nanomaterials and their photocatalytic mechanisms, highlighting the key advancements that have been made in recent years. The strategies to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2, including surface modification, doping modulation, heterojunction construction, and synergy of composite materials, with a specific emphasis on their applications in artificial photosynthesis, are discussed. TiO2-based heterostructures and hybrids present exciting opportunities for catalyzing solar fuel production, organic degradation, and CO2 reduction via artificial photosynthesis. This review offers an overview of the latest trends and advancements, while also highlighting the ongoing challenges and prospects for future developments in this classical yet rapidly evolving field.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 638:123-134. [PMID: 36736114 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.01.100] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/20/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The zinc-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction have attracted increasing attention, however, usually exhibit low CO2-to-CH4 selectivity. Here, the graphene oxide (GO)-coated zinc tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP/GO) nanocomposites are successfully synthesized through a simple method. It is found that with the increase of GO content, the crystallinity of ZnTPP nanocrystals enhances with the size decrease, and then the light absorption can easily match with the solar spectrum. The optimal ZnTPP/GO sample exhibits the CH4 evolution rate of 41.6 μmol g-1 h-1 and CH4 selectivity of >95%, which are higher than those of ZnTPP nanocrystals (7.8 μmol g-1 h-1 and 50.3%). The systematic characterizations confirm that the generation of axial coordinated ZnOC bonds between ZnTPP and GO plays a key role in the formation of ZnTPP/GO nanostructure and their synergic effect on photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The encapsulation of GO on ZnTPP nanocrystals not only promotes the CO2 adsorption, interfacial reaction, and stability, but also accelerates the separation of photoinduced carriers on ZnTPP (0.1 ps vs. 425.9 ps), the transportation from ZnTPP to GO (2.3 ps vs. 83.6 ps), and their final enrichment on GO. This work provides a new strategy to apply graphene and organic nanomaterials in artificial photosynthesis.

Abstract
In recent years, with global climate change, the utilization of carbon dioxide as a resource has become an important goal of human society to achieve carbon peaking and carbon neutrality. Among them, the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to generate renewable fuels has received great attention. As one of these methods, photocatalysis has its unique properties and mechanism, which can only rely on sunlight without inputting other energy. It is an emerging discipline with great development prospects.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction technology has a broad potential for dealing with the issues of energy shortage and global warming. As a widely studied material used in the photocatalytic process, titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been continuously modified and tailored for more desirable application. Recently, the defective/reduced titanium dioxide (TiO2-x) catalyst has attracted broad attention due to its excellent photocatalytic performance for CO2 reduction. In this perspective review, we comprehensively present the recent progress in TiO2-x-based materials for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In detail, the review starts with the fundamentals of CO2 photocatalytic reduction. Then, the synthesis of a defective TiO2 structure is introduced for the regulation of its photocatalytic performance, especially its optical properties and dissociative adsorption properties. In addition, the current application of TiO2-x-based photocatalysts for CO2 reduction is also highlighted, such as metal-TiO2-x, oxide-TiO2-x and TiO2-x-carbon-based photocatalysts. Finally, the existing challenges and possible scope of photocatalytic CO2 reduction over TiO2-x-based materials are discussed. We hope that this review can provide an effective reference for the development of more efficient and reasonable photocatalysts based on TiO2-x.

Photocatalytic CO2 reduction into solar fuels is a promising technology for addressing energy and CO2 emission issues. Because of the superior properties in CO2 adsorption and activation, molecular diffusion, light absorption, and charge separation and transfer, porous materials have been developed into a multifunctional platform for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In this Perspective, we first discuss the emerging trends of CO2 reduction in major inorganic porous materials-based photocatalysts, such as mesoporous materials, macroporous materials, hollow materials, hierarchically porous materials, and zeolites. Prospects and challenges in the development of porous materials-based photocatalysts are then outlined. Finally, we envision feasible solutions for the deployment of porous materials to enhance photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance.

Abstract
Developing photocatalysts that are inexpensive and efficient in degrading pollutants are essential for environmental remediation. Herein, a novel system of perylene diimide (PDI)/CuS p-n heterojunction was synthesized by a two-step self-assembly strategy for removal of tetracycline in waste water. Results showed that PDI/CuS-10% exhibited highest photocatalytic behavior. The apparent rate constants for tetracycline (TC) degradation for the blend were 5.27 and 2.68 times higher than that of CuS or PDI, respectively. The enhancement of photocatalytic activity was mainly attributed to the π-π stacking and p-n junction, which can accelerate the separation of the photo-generated h+-e- pairs. Besides, the light absorption of PDI/CuS from 800 to 200 nm was significantly enhanced and the absorption edge even reached the near-infrared region, which also played an important role in providing desired photocatalytic properties. Surprisingly, PDI/CuS could maintain high catalytic activity even after 5 cycles under simulated conditions, indicating that the composite had high potential for practical applications. Owing to high efficiency, low cost and wide application range, the PDI/CuS nanocomposites are promising candidates for environmental remediation.
