Abstract
Creating a microenvironment for enhanced peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is vital in advanced oxidation processes. The objective of this study was to fabricate nanoshells composed of titanium dioxide embedded with cobalt titanate nanoparticles of perovskite to act as nanoreactors for effectively initiating PMS and degrading contaminants. The unique porous structure and confined space of the nanoreactor facilitated reactant absorption and mass transfer to the active sites, resulting in exceptional catalytic performance for pollutant elimination. Experimental findings revealed close to 100% decomposition efficiency of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) within an hour utilizing the nanoreactors over a wide pH range. The TiO2/CoTiO3 hollow nanoshells catalysts also displayed adaptability in disintegrating organic dyes and antibiotics. The radicals SO4•-, •OH, and non-radicals 1O2 were determined to be accountable for eliminating pollutants, as supported by trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra. The catalyst was confirmed as an electron donor and PMS as an electron acceptor through electrochemical tests and density functional theory calculations. This study underscores the potential of incorporating stable perovskite catalysts in hollow nanoreactors to enhance wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In the field of photocatalysis, new heterojunction materials are increasingly explored to achieve efficient energy conversion and environmental catalysis under visible light and sunlight. This paper presents a study on two newly constructed two-dimensional van der Waals heterojunctions, Sc2CCl2/MoSe2 and Sc2CCl2/PtSe2, using density-functional theory. The study includes a systematic investigation of their geometrical structure, electronic properties, and optical properties. The results indicate that both heterojunctions are thermodynamically, kinetically, and mechanically stable. Additionally, Bader charge analysis reveals that both heterojunctions exhibit typical type II band properties. However, the band gap of the Sc2CCl2/MoSe2 heterojunction is only 1.18 eV, which is insufficient to completely cross the reduction and oxidation (REDOX) potential of 1.23 eV, whereas the band gap of Sc2CCl2/PtSe2 heterojunction is 1.49 eV, which is theoretically capable for water decomposition. The subsequent calculation of the Sc2CCl2/PtSe2 heterojunction demonstrate excellent hole carrier mobility and high efficiency light absorption in the visible light range, facilitating the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes. More importantly, Sc2CCl2/PtSe2 vdW type II heterojunction can achieve full water decomposition from pH 1 to pH 4, and its thermodynamic feasibility is confirmed by Gibbs free energy results. The aim of this study is to develop materials and analyses that will result in optoelectronic devices that are more efficient, stable, and sustainable.

Abstract
Herein, for the first time, we reported the synthesis of a novel Z-scheme CoxNi1-xTiO3/CdS (x = 0.5) heterojunction photocatalyst and the investigation of its visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance toward degradation of methylene blue (MB). The developed photocatalyst was structurally characterized by applying X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. The results indicated the formation of a highly porous structure with improved visible light adsorption capacity, favorable for the catalytic activity. At an optimum condition of 10 mg/L of MB and 300 mg/L of catalyst, the ternary photocatalyst demonstrated a MB removal efficiency of 99 % after 75 min of the treatment process. The radical trapping experiments unveiled that hydroxyl and superoxide radicals were two main reactive species formed under visible light, while the valance holes possessed an insignificant role. The synergetic impact of the CoxNi1-xTiO3 (x = 0.5) and CdS on the photodegradation of MB over the as-prepared CoxNi1-xTiO3/CdS (x = 0.5) photocatalyst through Z-scheme photocatalysis was indicated by the results of the mechanism studies. The percentage impact of the treatment time, MB concentration, the ratio of CoxNi1-xTiO3/CdS (x = 0.5), and the dosage of catalyst using analysis of the CCD modeling was obtained as 47.04, 16.67, 7.22 and 0.87 %, respectively. Furthermore, the as-synthesized photocatalyst possessed high recyclability and photostability with only a 3 % decline in activity after four repetitive cycles.

Abstract
Constructing Z-scheme heterojunctions incorporating an exquisite hollow structure is an effective performance regulation strategy for the realization of high quantum efficiency and a strong redox ability over photocatalysts. Herein, we report the delicate design and preparation of a core-shell hollow CdS@CoTiO3 Z-scheme heterojunction with a CdS nanoparticle (NP)-constructed outer shell supported on a CoTiO3 nanorod (NR) inner shell. The in situ growth synthetic method led to a tightly connected interface for the heterojunction between CdS and CoTiO3, which shortened the transport distance of photoinduced charges from the interface to the surface. The promoted charge carrier separation efficiency and the retained strong redox capacity caused by the Z-scheme photoinduced charge-transfer mechanism were mainly responsible for the boosted photocatalytic performance. Additionally, the well-designed core-shell structure afforded a larger interfacial area by the multiple direction contact between CdS and CoTiO3, ensuring sufficient channels for efficient charge transfer, and thus further boosting the photocatalytic activity. As an efficient photocatalyst, the optimized CdS@CoTiO3 nanohybrids displayed excellent 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) and tetracycline (TC) degradation efficiencies of 91.3% and 91.8%, respectively. This study presents a Z-scheme heterojunction based on ecofriendly CoTiO3, which could be valuable for the development of metal perovskite photocatalysts for application in environmental remediation, and also demonstrated the tremendous potential of integrating a Z-scheme heterojunction with the morphology design of photocatalyts.

Abstract
Immunotherapy harnesses the inherent immune system in the body to generate systemic antitumor immunity, offering a promising modality for defending against cancer. However, tumor immunosuppression and evasion seriously restrict the immune response rates in clinical settings. Catalytic nanomedicines can transform tumoral substances/metabolites into therapeutic products in situ, offering unique advantages in antitumor immunotherapy. Through catalytic reactions, both tumor eradication and immune regulation can be simultaneously achieved, favoring the development of systemic antitumor immunity. In recent years, with advancements in catalytic chemistry and nanotechnology, catalytic nanomedicines based on nanozymes, photocatalysts, sonocatalysts, Fenton catalysts, electrocatalysts, piezocatalysts, thermocatalysts and radiocatalysts have been rapidly developed with vast applications in cancer immunotherapy. This review provides an introduction to the fabrication of catalytic nanomedicines with an emphasis on their structures and engineering strategies. Furthermore, the catalytic substrates and state-of-the-art applications of nanocatalysts in cancer immunotherapy have also been outlined and discussed. The relationships between nanostructures and immune regulating performance of catalytic nanomedicines are highlighted to provide a deep understanding of their working mechanisms in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the challenges and development trends are revealed, aiming to provide new insights for the future development of nanocatalysts in catalytic immunotherapy.

Abstract
Semiconductor-based photocatalysis has attracted significant interest due to its capacity to directly exploit solar energy and generate solar fuels, including water splitting, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and bacterial inactivation. However, achieving the maximum efficiency in photocatalytic processes remains a challenge owing to the speedy recombination of electron-hole pairs and the limited use of light. Therefore, significant endeavours have been devoted to addressing these issues. Specifically, well-designed heterojunction photocatalysts have been demonstrated to exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity through the physical distancing of electron-hole pairs generated during the photocatalytic process. In this review, we provide a systematic discussion ranging from fundamental mechanisms to material strategies, focusing on TiO2-based heterojunction photocatalysts. Current efforts are focused on developing heterojunction photocatalysts based on TiO2 for a variety of photocatalytic applications, and these projects are explained and assessed. Finally, we offer a concise summary of the main insights and challenges in the utilization of TiO2-based heterojunction photocatalysts for photocatalysis. We expect that this review will serve as a valuable resource to improve the efficiency of TiO2-based heterojunctions for energy generation and environmental remediation.

Abstract
One of the representative coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) material, is of hotspot interest in the multi field thanks to their unique structural characteristics and properties. As a novel hierarchical structural class, MOFs show diverse topologies, intrinsic behaviors, flexibility, etc. However, bare MOFs have less desirable biofunction, high humid sensitivity and instability in water, restraining their efficiencies in biomedical and environmental applications. Thus, a structural modification is required to address such drawbacks. Herein, we pinpoint new strategies in the synthesis and functionalization of MOFs to meet demanding requirements in in vitro tests, i.e., antibacterial face masks against corona virus infection and in wound healing and nanocarriers for drug delivery in anticancer. Regarding the treatment of wastewater containing emerging pollutants such as POPs, PFAS, and PPCPs, functionalized MOFs showed excellent performance with high efficiency and selectivity. Challenges in toxicity, vast database of clinical trials for biomedical tests and production cost can be still presented. MOFs-based composites can be, however, a bright candidate for reasonable replacement of traditional nanomaterials in biomedical and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
The pollution caused by modernization and industrialization has caused serious harm to the biodiversity of the earth. TiO2-based photocatalyst has been widely studied as an effective and sustainable water environment remediation material. In this study, we analyzed the status and research trends of TiO2-based photocatalytic degradation of wastewater in depression from 2003 to 2023 to provide a reference for further research. "Doping", "Modification" and "Heterojunction" were used as keywords, and 817 related academic literatures were screened out by using Web of Science database. Through the visualization software VOSviewer and CiteSpace, the authors, institutions and literature keywords were clustered. The results show that since 2008, the annual number of published papers on TiO2-based photocatalytic degradation of wastewater has increased from 9 to 114. Among them, China has published 432 articles and made great contributions, and there are many representative research teams. Chinese universities are the main body to study TiO2-based photocatalytic degradation of wastewater, but the cooperation between universities is not as close as that abroad. This paper comprehensively analyzes the research hotspots of TiO2-based photocatalytic degradation of wastewater, such as the doping of TiO2 and the construction of different types of heterojunctions of TiO2. It is expected that these analysis results will provide new research ideas for researchers to carry out future research on related topics and let researchers know in-depth research institutions and possible collaborators to conduct academic exchanges and discussions with active institutions.

Abstract
The accumulation of antibiotics in the environment can be harmful to human health, and research on their disposal technologies is of increasing interest. In this study, WO3/α-Fe2O3/zeolite (WFZ) type II heterojunction composites with core-shell structures were prepared by coupling WO3 semiconductors with visible-light photocatalytic activity with α-Fe2O3 via hydrothermal synthesis using zeolite as a carrier for the adsorption of synergistic photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics in wastewater. X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), specific surface, and porosity measurements were used to characterize the structure of WFZ type II heterojunction. The performance of WFZ heterojunction for the visible photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics (tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and levofloxacin hydrochloride (LVF)) was investigated. Through four photocatalytic cycles, the catalyst exhibited excellent durability and stability. This was attributed to the core-shell structure and type II heterojunction promoting the effective separation of photogenerated carriers and the extended visible light response range, which resulted in the best photocatalytic activity of the catalyst under visible light irradiation. Radical trapping experiments showed that superoxide radicals (•O2-) and hydroxyl radical (•OH) were the main active species that played a major role in the photocatalytic degradation. These findings show that the synthesized WFZ type-II heterojunction can be used as a reliable visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for the treatment of antibiotics in wastewater.

ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:41765-41772. [PMID: 37970027 PMCID: PMC10634009 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c06307] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023]
Abstract
TiO2 has been widely used in photodegradation of pollutants, but it suffers from inferior photocatalytic performance under solar light illumination. Thus, novel porous ZnTiO3/TiO2 heterostructured photocatalysts are constructed by hydrothermal and carbonization techniques using ZIF-8 as a sacrificial template. After coating with TiO2, ZIF-8 nanocubes are selectively etched and subsequently coprecipitated with Ti ions during the hydrothermal process. Thereafter, the pores generated from carbonized ZIF-8 provide a large specific surface area and abundant active reaction sites for photocatalysis after annealing, producing stable ZnTiO3/TiO2 nanocomposites. Thus, porous ZnTiO3/TiO2 heterostructured photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance under solar light irradiation due to the boosted electron-hole separation/transfer. The kinetic constant of ZnTiO3/TiO2 nanocomposites (4.66 × 10-1 min-1) is almost 100 and 3.7 times higher than that of self-degradation (4.69 × 10-3 min-1) and TiO2 (1.27 × 10-1 min-1), respectively. This facile strategy provides a deep insight into synthesizing heterostructured photocatalysts with high efficiency in the field of environmental remediation.

CHEMSUSCHEM 2023; 16:e202300393.

Abstract
Commercial Pt/C (Com. Pt/C) electrocatalysts are considered optimal for oxygen reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions (ORR and HER). However, their high Pt content and poor stability restrict their large-scale application. In this study, photocatalytic synthesis was used to reduce ultrafine Pt nanoparticles in-situ on a composite support of TiO2 -decorated nitrogen-doped carbon (TiO2 -NC). The nitrogen-doped carbon had a large surface area and electronic effects that ensured the uniform dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles to form a highly photoactive and stable support. TiO2 -NC served as a composite support that enhanced the dispersibility and stability of ultrafine Pt electrocatalyst, owing to the presence of N sites and the strong metal-support interaction. Relative to Com. Pt/C, the as-obtained Pt/TiO2 -NC had positive shifts of 44 and 10 mV in the ORR half-wave potential and HER overpotential at -10 mA cm-2 , respectively. After an accelerated durability test, Pt/TiO2 -NC had lower losses in electrochemical specific area (0.7 %) and electrocatalytic activity (0 mV shift) than Com. Pt/C (25.6 %, 22 mV shift). These results indicate that the developed strategy enabled the facile synthesis and stabilization of ultrafine Pt nanoparticles, which improved the utilization efficiency and long-term stability of Pt-based electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Owing to their internal electric field effect and abundant photo-induced carriers, photoactive heterostructured materials are considered a feasible approach to improve the sensitivity of a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor. Herein, a novel NiS@Ni3S2/CdS heterostructure composite is derived from Ni-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework (Ni-ZIF). The PEC experiments showed the NiS@Ni3S2/CdS composite exhibits superior photocurrent response than NiS@Ni3S2 and CdS. This is attributed to the fact that the type II heterojunction of NiS@Ni3S2/CdS with a tightly connected interface reduces the transport distance of carriers and facilitates electron-hole separation. Next, using the NiS@Ni3S2/CdS modified electrode, an aptamer/glutaraldehyde/chitosan/NiS@Ni3S2/CdS/ITO PEC biosensor is developed, which exhibits excellent sensitivity for lincomycin (Lin) detection with a wide linear range (0.0001 ∼ 1.25 nM) and a low detection limit of 0.067 pM. The prepared sensor is further employed to monitor Lin in the actual milk. The results confirm that the prepared sensing electrode displays good selectivity, repeatability and stability.

Abstract
The organic pollutants in industrial wastewater continuously endanger human health. Therefore, effective treatment of organic pollutants is very urgent. Photocatalytic degradation technology is an excellent solution to remove it. TiO2 photocatalysts are easy to prepare and have high catalytic activity, unfortunately, TiO2 only absorbs ultraviolet light limiting its utilization of visible light. In this study, a facile environmentally friendly synthesis of Ag-coated on micro-wrinkled TiO2-based catalysts in order to extend the absorption of Visible light. Firstly, a fluorinated titanium dioxide precursor was prepared by a one-step solvothermal method, and the precursor was calcined at high temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere to form a carbon dopant, and then a surface silver-deposited carbon/fluorine co-doped TiO2 photocatalyst C/F-Ag-TiO2 was prepared by a hydrothermal method The results showed that the Ag was coated on the wrinkled TiO2 layer and C/F-Ag-TiO2 photocatalyst was synthetized successfully. Benefit from the synergistic effect of doped carbon and fluorine atoms in combination with the quantum size effect of the surface silver nanoparticles, the band gap energy of C/F-Ag-TiO2 (2.56 eV) is obviously lower than anatase (3.2eV). The photocatalyst achieved an impressive degradation rate of 84.2% for Rhodamine B in 4 h, with a degradation rate constant of 0.367 h-1, which was 17 times higher than that of P25 under visible light. Therefore, the C/F-Ag-TiO2 composite is a promising candidate as a highly efficient photocatalyst for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Nowadays, the increasing demand for pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) has resulted in the uncontrolled release of large amounts of PPCPs into the environment, which poses a great challenge to the existing wastewater treatment technologies. Therefore, novel materials for efficient treatment of PPCPs need to be developed urgently. MOF-derived carbons (MDCs), have many advantages such as high mechanical strength, excellent water stability, large specific surface area, excellent electron transfer capability, and environmental friendliness. These advantages give MDCs an excellent ability to remove PPCPs. In this review, the effects of different substances on the properties and functions of MDCs are discussed. In addition, representative applications of MDCs and composites for the removal of PPCPs in the field of adsorption and catalysis are summarized. Finally, the future challenges of MDCs and composites are foreseen.

Abstract
The tetracycline (TC) in water has led to serious concern. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) photocatalysts were produced via copolymerization of mono-benzene ring-mediated precursors (urea, melamine, and dicyandiamide) involving salicylic acid (SA) for TC degradation. The SA-modified g-C3N4 samples showed improved visible light absorbance, transfer and separation of photogenerated electrons, and prospective photocatalytic application in TC degradation. As a result, the optimal SA-modified g-C3N4 (2 wt% of SA) using urea (CNU-SA-2) showed 2 times higher TC degradation than that of pristine g-C3N4. The process of TC degradation was evaluated by the reduction of antibacterial activity and extensively studied by varying the types of TC, initial pH values, co-existing anions, and natural organic materials. In addition, the catalyst could be reused for at least four cycles, indicating good reusability. The main active species were revealed to be h+ and ·O2- by scavenging experiments and electron spin resonance. The CNU-SA-2 photocatalyst and TC intermediates during degradation had no adverse impact on zebrafish embryos. This work could provide a design strategy and a perspective on the practical application of g-C3N4-based photocatalysts for the treatment of wastewater containing antibiotics.

Abstract
Graphitic C3N4-based materials are promising for photocatalytic H2 evolution applications, but they still suffer from low photocatalytic activity due to the insufficient light absorption, unfavorable structure and fast recombination of photogenerated charge. Herein, a novel anion-cation co-doped g-C3N4 porous nanotube is successfully synthesized using a self-assembly impregnation-assisted polymerization method. Ni ions on the surface of the self-assembly nanorod precursor can not only cooperate with H3P gas from the thermal cracking of NaH2PO2 as an anion-cation co-doping source, but, more importantly, suppress the shape-collapsing effect of the etching of H3P gas due to the strong coordinate bonding of Ni-P, which leads to a Ni and P co-doped g-C3N4 porous nanotube (PNCNT). Ni and P co-doping can build a new intermediate state near the conduction band in the bandgap of the PNCNT, and the porous nanotube structure gives it a higher BET surface area and light reflection path, showing a synergistic ability to broaden the visible-light absorption, facilitate photogenerated charge separation and the light-electron excitation rate of g-C3N4 and provide more reaction sites for photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction. Therefore, as expected, the PNCNT exhibits an excellent photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 240.91 μmol·g-1·h-1, which is 30.5, 3.8 and 27.8 times as that of the pure g-C3N4 nanotube (CNT), single Ni-doped g-C3N4 nanotube (NCNT) and single P-doped g-C3N4 nanotube (PCNT), respectively. Moreover, the PNCNT shows good stability and long-term photocatalytic H2 production activity, which makes it a promising candidate for practical applications.

Abstract
A novel Z-scheme titania loaded on fibrous silica ceria (Ti-FSC) was triumphantly fabricated via hydrothermal followed by electrolysis method and evaluated for the visible-light degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). Noticeably, Ti-FSC exhibits as an efficient photocatalyst for CIP photodegradation with 95% as followed by titania loaded on fibrous silica (Ti-FS) (68%), Ti-CeO2 (35%), FSC (47%), FS (22%), and CeO2 (17%). The combination of the inherent merits of Ti loaded on FSC is able to realize the crucial role of Ce in harnessing the high dispersion of Ti, which could beneficial for improving the performance proven by XRD, FESEM, TEM and FTIR. Consequently, high dispersion of Ti on FSC has worthwhile towards the interaction of the Si-O-Ti, Ce-O-Ti, and Si-O-Ti, which could enhance the CIP photodegradation by providing more surface defects, narrowing the band gap, improving electron-hole separation and suppressing electron-hole recombination that revealed by XPS, UV-vis/DRS, Nyquist plots and PL studies, respectively. The scavenger study revealed that the controlling species in the system was hydroxyl radical and holes. A potential Z-scheme heterojunction mechanism for Ti-FSC was deduced from the band structure analysis. The possible photodegradation pathway was proposed based on GCMS analysis. Besides, the acceptable reusability, which exceeded 90% of degradation indicated the great application potential of Z-scheme Ti-FSC in wastewater treatment and others application.

Abstract
Artificially simulated photosynthesis has created substantial curiosity as the majority of efforts in this arena have been aimed to upsurge solar fuel efficiencies for commercialization. The layered inorganic 2D nanosheets offer considerably higher tunability of their chemical surface, physicochemical properties and catalytic activity. Despites the intrinsic advantages of such metal-based materials viz., metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, metal oxyhalides, metal organic frameworks, layered double hydroxide, MXene's, boron nitride, black phosphorous and perovskites, studies on such systems are limited for applications in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The role of metal-based layers for CO2 conversion and new strategies such as surface modifications, defect generation and heterojunctions to optimize their functionalities are discussed in this review. Research prospects and technical challenges for future developments of layered 2D metal-based nanomaterials are critically discussed.

Abstract
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have demonstrated an effective wastewater treatment method. But the application of AOPs using nanomaterials as catalysts is challenged with a series of problems, including limited mass transfer, surface fouling, poor stability, and difficult recycling. Recently, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with high tunability and ultrahigh porosity are emerging as excellent precursors for the delicate design of the structure/composition of catalysts and many MOF-derived catalysts with distinct physicochemical characteristics have shown optimized performance in various AOPs. Herein, to elucidate the structure-composition-performance relationship, a review on the performance optimization of MOF-derived catalysts to overcome the existing problems in AOPs by micro/macrostructure and multicomponent design is given. Impressively, MOF-derived strategy for the design of catalyst materials from the aspects of microstructure, macrostructure, and multicomponent (polymetallic, heteroatom doping, M/C hybrids, etc.) is firstly presented. Moreover, important advances of MOF-derived catalysts in the application of various AOPs (Fenton, persulfate-based AOPs, photocatalysis, electrochemical processes, hybrid AOPs) are summarized. The relationship between the unique micro/macrostructure and/or multicomponent features and performance optimization in mass transfer, catalytic efficiency, stability, and recyclability is clarified. Furthermore, the challenges and future work directions for the practical application of MOF-derived catalysts in AOPs for wastewater treatment are provided.

Abstract
There is an increasing level of various pollutants and their persistence in aquatic environments. The improper use of antibiotics and their inefficient metabolism in organisms result in their release into aquatic environments. Antibiotic abuse has led to hazardous effects on human health. Thereby, efficient removal of pharmaceuticals, particularly antibiotics, from wastewater and contaminated water bodies is greatly interested in international research communities. Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials, as a hybrid group of material containing metallic center and organic linkers, offer a porous structure that is highly efficient for removing different pollutants from contaminated water and wastewater streams. This article aims to review the recent advancement in using MOF-based adsorbents and catalysts for the removal of pharmaceuticals, especially antibiotics, from polluted water. Applying MOFs-based structures for removing antibiotics using photocatalytic removal and adsorptive removal techniques will be discussed and evaluated in this review paper. Various MOF-based materials such as functionalized MOFs, MOF-based composites, magnetic MOF-based composites, MOFs templated-metal oxide catalysts for removing pharmaceuticals, personal care products, and antibiotics from contaminated aqueous media are discussed. Furthermore, effective operational parameters on the adsorption, adsorption mechanisms, adsorption isotherms, and thermodynamic parameters are explained and discussed. Finally, in the concluding remarks, the challenges and future outlooks of using MOFs-based adsorbents and catalysts for removing antibiotics are summarized.

Abstract
Peroxymonosulfate (PMS)-based Fenton-like reactions are widely used for wastewater remediation. Metal-free carbonaceous activators can avoid the secondary pollution caused by metal leaching but often suffer from insufficient activity due to limited active centers and mass transfer barriers. Here, we prepared a series of heteroatom (N, S, F)-doped, highly porous carbonaceous materials (UC-X, X = N, S, F) by pyrolyzing UiO-66 precursors assembled by various organic ligands. Density functional theory calculations showed that the heteroatoms modulated the electronic structures of the carbon plane. UC-X exhibited significantly enhanced PMS activation capability compared with the undoped counterpart, in the efficiency order of UC-N > UC-S > UC-F > UC. UC-N (calcined at 1000°C) showed the best PMS activation, exceeding that of commonly used carbocatalysts. The prominent performance of UC-N originated from its unique porous structure and homogeneously dispersed graphitic N moieties. Trapping experiments and electron spin resonance showed a nonradical degradation pathway in the UC-N/PMS system, through which organics were oxidized by donating electrons to UC-N/PMS* metastable complexes. This work not only reports a universal way to access high-performance, metal-free PMS activators but also provides insight into the underlying mechanism of the carbon-activated PMS process.

Abstract
Ag/NaBiO3 with dual active sites and high capacitance was prepared by the photo-deposition method. Upon light illumination, the reduction of Ag+ to Ag, the introduction of oxygen vacancies, and the electron storage in Ag nanoparticles simultaneously happened. NO, and O2 adsorbed and activated at Ag site and oxygen vacancy site, respectively, to produce active ON* and •O2- radical species. The increased concentrations of the active oxygen species and the pre-oxidation of NO resulted in the enhanced NO removal with inhibited production of NO2. Moreover, the high capacitance of Ag and the continuous charge transfer from defective NaBiO3 to Ag offered the enhanced and long-lasting dark catalytic activity of the Ag/NaBiO3. The stored electrons in Ag were directly released in dark to decompose methyl orange and/or tetracycline. This work provides a novel idea of designing and preparing a multifunctional catalytic material for environmental cleaning.

Abstract
Solar energy is a key sustainable energy resource, and materials with optimal properties are essential for efficient solar energy-driven applications in photocatalysis. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent platforms to generate different nanocomposites comprising metals, oxides, chalcogenides, phosphides, or carbides embedded in porous carbon matrix. These MOF derived nanocomposites offer symbiosis of properties like high crystallinities, inherited morphologies, controllable dimensions, and tunable textural properties. Particularly, adjustable energy band positions achieved by in situ tailored self/external doping and controllable surface functionalities make these nanocomposites promising photocatalysts. Despite some progress in this field, fundamental questions remain to be addressed to further understand the relationship between the structures, properties, and photocatalytic performance of nanocomposites. In this review, different synthesis approaches including self-template and external-template methods to produce MOF derived nanocomposites with various dimensions (0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D), morphologies, chemical compositions, energy bandgaps, and surface functionalities are comprehensively summarized and analyzed. The state-of-the-art progress in the applications of MOF derived nanocomposites in photocatalytic water splitting for H2 generation, photodegradation of organic pollutants, and photocatalytic CO2 reduction are systemically reviewed. The relationships between the nanocomposite properties and their photocatalytic performance are highlighted, and the perspectives of MOF derived nanocomposites for photocatalytic applications are also discussed.

Abstract
C/BiOBr composite materials were synthesized via a simple one-step solvothermal method, with C derived from biochar, which was prepared from the low-cost straw. The samples were characterized by SEM, XRD, XPS and PL. The 2% C/BiOBr composite material showed a noticeable adsorption and photocatalysis synergistic effect to remove CIP. The adsorption rate and degradation rate were 1.45 times and 1.8 times that of BiOBr. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms of CIP on C/BiOBr were analyzed with the pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. The degradation efficiency was 96.8% after 60 min of irradiation. High stability and degradability were still maintained after four cycles. The Bi-O-C bond accelerated electron transition and inhibited the rapid photogenerated electron pair recombination. In the degradation process of CIP, ˙O2 - and h+ played a significant role. Experiments proved that C/BiOBr is practical and feasible for the degradation of CIP under the synergistic effect of adsorption and photocatalysis.
