Abstract
The development of environmentally friendly and cost-effective photocatalysts is of vital significance for the effective removal of heavy metal contamination in water, but it is still a crucial challenge. Herein, the novel SbxBi2-xS3 solid solution photocatalysts with a certain amount of sulfur vacancy were prepared by adjusting the molar ratio of Sb to Bi through a simple hydrothermal strategy, and was applied to the effective photocatalytic reduction of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)). Sb1.75Bi0.25S3 with optimized ratio has superior reduction performance of Cr(VI), and the photocatalytic efficiency of Cr(VI) can achieve 91.9 % within 1 h of visible light illumination. The remarkable catalytic efficiency is due to the more applicable band structure of the solid solution photocatalyst, which is conducive for the photocatalytic reaction. Moreover, the substitution of Bi causes the crystal distortion of Sb2S3 and induce the generation of sulfur defects, which can effectively capture photoelectrons, accelerate the carriers separation, and improve the reduction performance. This study provides a hopeful photocatalyst for wastewater purification and promotes the exploration of solid solution photocatalyst in water environment remediation.

Green light all the way: Triple modification synergistic modification effect to enhance the photoelectrochemical water oxidation performance of BiVO 4 photoanode. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 677:90-98.

Abstract
The recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of the photoanode seriously impairs the application of bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) in photoelectrochemical water splitting. To address this issue, we prepared a Yb:BiVO4/Co3O4/FeOOH composite photoanode by employing drop-casting and soaking methods to attach Co3O4/FeOOH cocatalysts to the surface of ytterbium-doped BiVO4. The prepared Yb:BiVO4/Co3O4/FeOOH photoanode demonstrates a high photocurrent density of 4.89 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is 5.1 times that of bare BiVO4 (0.95 mA cm-2). Detailed characterization and testing demonstrated that Yb doping narrows the band gap and significantly enhances the carrier density. Furthermore, Co3O4 serves as a hole transfer layer to expedite hole migration and diminish recombination, while FeOOH offers additional active sites and minimizes surface trap states, thus boosting stability. The synergistic effects of Yb doping and Co3O4/FeOOH cocatalyst significantly improved the reaction kinetics and overall performance of PEC water oxidation. This work provides a strategy for designing efficient photoanodes for PEC water oxidation.

Abstract
Loading cocatalysts onto semiconductors is one of the most popular strategies to inhibit charge recombination, but the efficiency is generally hindered by the localized built-in electric field and the weakly connected interface. Here, this work designs and synthesizes a 1D P-doped CdS nanowire/Ni2P heterojunction with gradient doped P to address the challenges. In the composite, the gradient P doping not only creates a funneled bandgap structure with a built-in electric field oriented from the bulk of P-CdS to the surface, but also facilitates the formation of a tightly connected interface using the co-shared P element. Consequently, the photogenerated charge carriers are enabled to be pumped from inside to surface of the P-CdS and then smoothly across the interface to the Ni2P. The as-obtained P-CdS/Ni2P displays high visible-light-driven H2 evolution rate of ≈8265 µmol g-1 h-1, which is 336 times and 120 times as that of CdS and P-CdS, respectively. This work is anticipated to inspire more research attention for designing new gradient-doped semiconductor/cocatalyst heterojunction photocatalysts with bridged interface for efficient solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Semiconductor materials based on bismuth metal have been extensively explored for their potential in photocatalytic applications owing to their distinctive crystal structure. Herein, we present the development of a hybrid photocatalyst, CAU-17/BiOCl, featuring a flower-like nanosheet morphology tailored for the photocatalytic degradation of organic contaminants such as rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The composite material is obtained by growing thin CAU-17 layers directly onto the host flower-like BiOCl nanosheets under solvothermal conditions. The optimized CAU-17/BiOCl composite possesses excellent photocatalytic performance, achieving a notable 96.0% removal rate for RhB and 78.4% for TCH after 60 and 90 min of LED light irradiation, respectively. This boosted activity is attributed to the heightened absorption of visible light caused by BiOCl and the provision of additional reaction sites due to the thin CAU-17 layers. Furthermore, the establishment of an S-scheme heterojunction mechanism enables efficient charge separation between CAU-17 and BiOCl, facilitating the separation of photoinduced electrons (e-) and holes (h+). Analysis of the degradation mechanism of RhB and TCH reveals the predominant role of superoxide radicals (•O2-), e-, and h+ in the photocatalytic degradation process. Moreover, the removal efficiency of TCH can reach approximately 64.5% after four cycles of recycling of CAU-17/BiOCl. Our work provides a facile, effective solution and a theoretically explained approach for the effective degradation of pollutants using heterojunction photocatalysts.

Abstract
Exploring strategies to improve the near-infrared response of photocatalysts is an urgent challenge that can be overcome by utilizing upconversion (UC) luminescence to enhance photocatalysis. This paper reports the fabrication of a ZnO/Bi3Ti2O8F:Yb3+, Er3+ (ZnO/BTOFYE) Z-scheme heterojunction based on a Bi3Ti2O8F:Yb3+, Er3+ (BTOFYE) UC photocatalyst via electrostatic self-assembly. Fermi energy difference at the interface of BTOFYE and ZnO generates a strong internal electric field (IEF) in the Z-scheme heterojunction, offering a novel charge transfer mode that promotes carrier transfer and separation while retaining the strong redox capability. These results are confirmed through in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, in situ Kelvin probe force microscopy, electron spin resonance, and density functional theory calculations. In addition, the effect of the IEF on the UC luminescence process of Er3+ enhances the luminescence intensity, considerably improving the UC utilization efficiency. The optimal ZnO/BTOFYE degrades 64 % of ciprofloxacin in 120 min, which is 2.3 times more than that degraded by BTOFYE. Overall, the results of this study offer a reference for the rational development of high efficiency UC photocatalysts by generating IEF in Z-scheme heterojunctions.

Abstract
Given the global warming caused by excess CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, it is essential to reduce CO2 by capturing and converting it to chemical feedstock using solar energy. Herein, a novel Cs3Bi2Br9/bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) composite was prepared via an in situ growth strategy of Cs3Bi2Br9 quantum dots (QDs) on the surface of Bi-MOF nanosheets through coshared bismuth atoms. The prepared Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF exhibits bifunctional merits for both the high capture and effective conversion of CO2, among which the optimized 3Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF sample shows a CO2-CO conversion yield as high as 572.24 μmol g-1 h-1 under the irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp. In addition, the composite shows good stability after five recycles in humid air, and the CO2 photoreduction efficiency does not decrease significantly. The mechanistic investigation uncovers that the intimate atomic-level contact between Cs3Bi2Br9 and Bi-MOF via the coshared atoms not only improves the dispersion of Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs over Bi-MOF nanosheets but also accelerates interfacial charge transfer by forming a strong bonding linkage, which endows it with the best performance of CO2 photoreduction. Our new finding of bismuth-based metal-organic framework/lead-free halide perovskite by cosharing atoms opens a new avenue for a novel preparation strategy of the heterojunction with atomic-level contact and potential applications in capture and photocatalytic conversion of CO2.

Abstract
Photocatalysis has been vastly employed as a feasible and efficient strategy for the removal of environmental pollutants. In this study, a well-designed core-shell heterojunction of WO3 decorated with ZnIn2S4 nanosheets were fabricated under mild in-situ conditions, and fabricated processes were systematically investigated with different fabrication durations. The coupling of WO3 and ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) resulted in a Z-scheme mechanism for charge carrier transfer, holding the respective redox capacity. The as-prepared 1D/2D WO3@ZIS heterostructure displayed the highest removal efficiency within 30 min for 25 mg L-1 Cr(VI), 89.3 and 29.7 times higher than pure WO3 and ZnIn2S4. 1D/2D WO3@ZIS remained excellently stable after 5 cycling experiments. Moreover, 40 mg L-1 RhB could be degraded within 50 min. The broad and short photogenerated electron transportation path is guaranteed by the 1D/2D and Z-scheme charge separation mechanism. It efficiently prevented photo-generated charge carriers from recombination, resulting in a longer carrier lifespan and better photocurrent responses than that of pure ones. This photocatalytic system showed promising results and also provides a framework for an efficient system for photocatalysis with potential for environmental application.

Abstract
ZnS@In2S3 core-shell structures with high photocatalytic activity have been delicately designed and synthesized. The unique structure and synergistic effects of the composites have an important influence on the improvement of photocatalytic activity. The photocatalytic activity has been studied by photodegrading individual eosin B (EB) and the mixture solution consisting of eosin B and rhodamine B (EB-RhB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under simulated sunlight irradiation. The results show that all of the photocatalysts with different contents of In2S3 exhibit enhanced catalytic activity compared to pure ZnS for the degradation of EB and EB-RhB solution. When the theoretical molar ratio of ZnS to In2S3 was 1:0.5, the composite presents the highest photocatalytic efficiency, which could eliminate more than 98% of EB and 94% of EB-RhB. At the same time, after five cycles of photocatalytic tests, the photocatalytic efficiency could be about 96% for the degradation of the EB solution, and relatively high photocatalytic activity could also be obtained for the degradation of the EB-RhB mixed solution. This work has proposed a facile synthetic process to realize the controlled preparation of core-shell ZnS@In2S3 composites with effectively modulated structures and compositions, and the composites have also proved to be high-efficiency photocatalysts for the disposal of complicated pollutants.

Abstract
Through the utilization of a facile procedure combined with anodization and hydrothermal synthesis, highly ordered alignment TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2-NTAs) were decorated with BiVO4 with distinctive crystallization phases of monoclinic scheelite (m-BiVO4) and tetragonal zircon (t-BiVO4), favorably constructing different molar ratios and concentrations of oxygen vacancies (Vo) for m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs heterostructured nanohybrids. Simultaneously, the m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs nanocomposites significantly promoted photoelectrochemical (PEC) activity, tested under UV-visible light irradiation, through photocurrent density testing and electrochemical impedance spectra, which were derived from the positive synergistic effect between nanohetero-interfaces and Vo defects induced energetic charge transfer (CT). In addition, a proposed self-consistent interfacial CT mechanism and a convincing quantitative dynamic process (i.e., rate constant of CT) for m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs nanoheterojunctions are supported by time-resolved photoluminescence and nanosecond time-resolved transient photoluminescence spectra, respectively. Based on the scheme, the m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-10 nanohybrids exhibited a photodegradation rate of 97% toward degradation of methyl orange irradiated by UV-visible light, 1.14- and 1.04-fold that of m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-5 and m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-20, respectively. Furthermore, the m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-10 nanohybrids showed excellent PEC biosensing performance with a detection limit of 2.6 μM and a sensitivity of 960 mA cm-2 M-1 for the detection of glutathione. Additionally, the gas-sensing performance of m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-10 is distinctly superior to that of m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-5 and m&t-BiVO4/TiO2-NTAs-20 in terms of sensitivity and response speed.

Controlled preparation of Bi/BiOCl with enhanced catalytic activity for organic pollutant under visible light using one-pot hydrothermal technology. CHEMOSPHERE 2022; 307:136188. [PMID: 36037955 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.136188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Flowerlike Bi/BiOCl was prepared by one-pot hydrothermal method, where Bi(NO3)3 was used as Bi source, NiCl2 was used as employed as Cl source and co-catalyst, DMF was adopted as cosolvent and reducing agent. In the presence of NiCl2, the reduction of Bi(NO3)3 was accelerated. The prepared conditions were optimized. The prepared Bi/BiOCl showed high photocatalytic activity for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation within 200 s under visible light irradiation. The degradation efficiency and degradation reaction rate for Bi/BiOCl were 98.7% and 1.194 min -1, which was significantly better than that of BiOCl (6.6% and 0.0240 min -1). The improvement of photocatalytic activity was attributed to the successful in-situ formation of Bi metal in the sample, which greatly improved the visible light activity of BiOCl, increased the transfer rate of the photogenerated electron, and inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The prepared Bi/BiOCl presented high cyclic stability and low Bi element leakage of 1.2 ng L-1. The conversion of N element in RhB was preliminarily studied, and the results showed that N element was effectively converted into ammonium. Moreover, the decreased toxicity after RhB degradation was investigated and confirmed by mung bean cultivation with RhB solution before and after degradation.

Abstract
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has been considered as a promising photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) semiconductor, but suffers from severe hole recombination, attributed to the short hole-diffusion length and the low carrier mobility. Herein, a type-II heterojunction CdIn2S4/BiVO4 is designed to improve the photocurrent density from 1.22 (pristine BiVO4) to 2.68 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V vs the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), accelerating the bulk separation of photogenerated carriers by the built-in field from the matched energy band. With the introduction of CQDs, CQDs/CdIn2S4/BiVO4 increases the photocurrent density to 4.84 mA cm-2, enhancing the light absorption and cathodically shifting its onset potential, due to the synergetic effect of the heterojunction and CQDs. Compared with BiVO4, CQDs/CdIn2S4/BiVO4 promotes the bulk separation efficiency to 94.6% and the surface injection efficiency to 72.2%. Additionally, spin-coating of FeOOH on CQDs/CdIn2S4/BiVO4 could further improve the PEC performance and keep a long stability for water splitting. The density function theory (DFT) calculations illustrated that the type-II heterojunction CdIn2S4/BiVO4 could decrease the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential and accelerate bulk charge separation for the built-in field of the aligned band structure.

Abstract
The effective detection of hazardous gases has become extremely necessary for the ecological environment and public health. Interfacial engineering plays an indispensable role in the development of innovative materials with exceptional properties, thus triggering a new revolution in the realization of high-performance gas sensing. Herein, the rational designed Ag2S/SnS2 heterostructures were synthesized via a facile in-situ cation-exchange method. The coshared S atoms derived from in-situ interfacial engineering enable intimate atomic-level contact and strong electron coupling between SnS2 and Ag2S, which efficiently assist interfacial charge redistribution and transport as confirmed theoretically and experimentally. Benefiting from the high-quality interface of the heterostructures, the resultant Ag2S/SnS2 sensor delivered an ultrahigh response (286%) together with short response/recovery time (17 s/38 s) to 1 ppm NO2. The sensor also demonstrated superior sensing selectivity and reliable repeatability at room-temperature. Such excellent sensing performance could be synergistically ascribed to the junction effect and interfacial engineering of Ag2S/SnS2 heterostructures, which not only modulates the electronic properties of SnS2 but also provides abundant adsorption sites for gas sensing. This study offers guidance for engineering heterostructures with high-quality interface, which might stimulate the exploitation of other novel materials and widen their potential applications.

Abstract
A novel three-dimensional (3D) network rodlike Ag2S/Bi2SiO5 photocatalyst with a p-n heterostructure composed of ultrafine Ag2S nanoparticles (NPs) and Bi2SiO5 nanosheets was prepared using an anionic self-regulation strategy by a two-step hydrothermal process. The architecture facilitated the efficient transfer and separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The optimal Ag2S/Bi2SiO5 composite (ABSO0.10) exhibited an excellent reduction activity (93.5% Cr(VI) removal in wastewater containing 50 mg·L-1 Cr(VI) within 90 min under visible light), which was about 11.2 and 25.6 times higher than that of the pristine Ag2S and virgin Bi2SiO5, respectively. Assisted by experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, a possible photocatalytic mechanism for Cr(VI) reduction over the Ag2S/Bi2SiO5 composite under visible-light irradiation was proposed.

Abstract
Heavy metal pollution is an important problem in current water treatments. Traditional methods for treating chromium-containing wastewater have limitations such as having complicated processes and causing secondary pollution. Therefore, seeking efficient and fast processing methods is an important research topic at present. Photocatalysis is an efficient method to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solutions; however, conventional photocatalysts suffer from a low metal absorption capacity, high investment cost, and slow desorption of trivalent chromium from the catalyst surface. In this study, a novel composite gel was synthesized by chemically modifying thiourea onto sodium alginate, which was then mixed with biochar. The composite gel (T-BSA) can effectively remove 99.98% of Cr(VI) in aqueous solution through synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic reduction under UV light irradiation. The removal mechanism of Cr(VI) was analyzed by FT-IR, FESEM, UV-DRS and XPS. The results show that under acidic conditions, the amino group introduced by chemical modification can be protonated to adsorb Cr(VI) through electrostatic interaction. In addition, the biochar as a functional material has a large specific surface area and pore structure, which can provide active sites for the adsorption of Cr(VI), while the photo-reduced Cr(III) is released into the solution through electrostatic repulsion, regenerating the adsorption sites, thereby improving the removal performance of Cr(VI). Biochar significantly intensifies the Cr(VI) removal performance by providing a porous structure and transferring electrons during photoreduction. This study demonstrates that polysaccharide-derived materials can serve as efficient photocatalysts for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
In this work, two-dimensional Bi2O2CO3 disk is synthesized, followed by the growth of Bi2S3 over Bi2O2CO3 via topotactic transformation by controlling the amount of thiourea under hydrothermal conditions. The synthesized composite catalyst is investigated for photocatalytic oxidation and reduction of tetracycline hydrochloride and hexavalent chromium under visible light irradiation. High interfacial contact between the Bi2O2CO3 disk0 and Bi2S3 fiber is confirmed via high-resolution microscopic imaging. Enhanced light absorption and increased charge carrier separation is observed after the formation of the Bi2S3/Bi2O2CO3 composite. The Bi2S3/Bi2O2CO3 composite grown using 1 mmol of thiourea shows approximately 98% degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride after 120 min and 99% Cr(VI) reduction after 90 min of photochemical reaction under visible light irradiation. The charge separation is due to the formed internal electric field at the interface, which upon light irradiation follows a z-scheme charge transfer hindering the recombination at the Bi2S3 and Bi2O2CO3 interface, thereby contributing efficiently to the photochemical process. In addition, the mechanism of the photochemical reaction for the degradation of pollutants is supported using quencher and probe experiments. Furthermore, photoelectrochemical detection of antibiotic in aqueous solution is conducted to understand the sensing feasibility of the synthesized system.
