Abstract
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has drawn increasing attention as a highly persistent organic pollutant. The inherent stability, rigidity and potential toxicities characteristics make it a challenge to develop efficient technologies to eliminate it from water. Photocatalytic technology, as one advanced method, has been widely used in the degradation of PFOA in water. In this review, recent progress in the design of photocatalysts including doping, defects engineering, heterojunction and surface modification to boost the photocatalytic performance toward PFOA is summarized. The relevant degradation mechanisms were also discussed in detail. Finally, future prospect and challenges are proposed. This review may provide new guidelines for researchers to design much more efficient photocatalysts applied in the elimination of PFOA.

Abstract
Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), a perovskite-type oxide, possesses unique morphology and multiferroicity, rendering it highly versatile for various applications. Recent investigations have demonstrated that BiFeO3 exhibits enhanced Fenton-like and photocatalytic behaviors, coupled with its piezoelectric/ferroelectric properties. BiFeO3 can catalytically generate highly oxidative reactive oxygen species (ROS) when exposed to hydrogen peroxide or light irradiation. Consequently, bismuth ferrite-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for various biomedical applications. However, the precise fabrication of BiFeO3-based materials with controllable features and applications in diverse biomedical scenarios remains a formidable challenge. In this review, we initially summarize the Fenton reaction property, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of BiFeO3. We further survey the current methodologies for synthesizing BiFeO3 nanomaterials with diverse morphologies. Subsequently, we explore the effects of element doping and heterojunction formation on enhancing the photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3, focusing on microstructural, electronic band structure, and modification approaches. Additionally, we provide an overview of the recent advancements of BiFeO3-based nanomaterials in biomedicine. Finally, we discuss the prevailing obstacles and prospects of BiFeO3 for biomedical applications, offering valuable insights and recommendations for forthcoming research endeavors.

[PMID: 34704540 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2021.1996467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Accepted: 10/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
In this work, g-C3N4/ZIF-8 heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesised by the process by which the metal-organic framework ZIF-8 nanoparticles were grown onto the g-C3N4 layer in situ. Bismuth element was doped into the as-prepared g-C3N4/ZIF-8 material and a new type of Bi@g-C3N4/ZIF-8 composite photocatalysts was manufactured, in which the doping element acts in adjusting the bandgap in the photocatalysts. The prepared photocatalysts were characterised by XRD, FESEM, TEM, FTIR, XPS, UV-VIS DRS, photoluminescence and photo-electrochemical experiments. The results show that the ZIF-8 nanoparticles grown in situ were well-formed onto the g-C3N4 layer, and bismuth was evenly doped into the gaps of the g-C3N4/ZIF-8 framework. The degradation rate of methylene blue by CNZ-1.5(Bi)-12, which was a photocatalyst composed of 12% Bi-doped with g-C3N4/ZIF-8 material (the mass ratio of g-C3N4: ZIF-8 = 1:1.5), reached 86.6% under visible light irradiation within 60 min. The free radical scavenging experiment and electron spin resonance spectroscopy showed that ∙OH was the main active substance. Bismuth doping into the photocatalytic system promotes the excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band and provides a good channel for the transmission of photogenerated carriers as well. It is achieved that intensive visible light absorption, the enhanced separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers, and excellent thermal stability and high recyclability in the novel composite photocatalyst, owing to the synergistic effect of the introduced bismuth with the heterostructure of g-C3N4/ZIF-8. Therefore, the synthesised Bi@g-C3N4/ZIF-8 heterojunction photocatalysts may be used as a good photocatalyst for purifying and degrading organic matter in sewage.

Abstract
Advanced Oxidation Processes have been proven to be an efficient way to remove organic pollutants from wastewaters. In this work, a ceramic electrode of Sb-SnO2 (BCE) with a layer of the photocatalytic material BiFeO3 (BFO-BCE), has been characterized electrochemically and further tested for norfloxacin photo-electrooxidation in the presence and absence of light. The electrode photoactivity was highly enhanced thanks to the presence of BiFeO3, as confirmed by Linear Sweep Voltammetry, chronoamperometry and potentiometry, and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy. Additionally, working in galvanostatic mode, a high mineralization of norfloxacin was achieved after 240 min, reaching 62% at 25 mA cm-2 under light conditions. This value is comparatively higher than the 40% achieved with the BCE. The oxidation byproducts were followed by ionic chromatography and HPLC analysis, which also allowed us to propose an oxidation pathway of the norfloxacin molecule. Finally, some indicators of the reactor performance such as the Mineralization Current Efficiency and the specific energy consumption were analyzed, revealing that lower current densities (8.3 mA cm-2) led to higher current efficiencies, and that light improved both the current efficiency and energy consumption.

Abstract
In the quest for optimal H2 evolution (HE) through ethanol photoreforming, a dual cocatalyst-modified heterocatalyst strategy is utilized. Tin(II) sulfide (SnS) was hybridized with α-Fe2O3 to form the heterocatalyst FeOSnS with a p-n heterojunction structure as confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), UV-vis diffusive reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. PdO x and PdO x /MnO x cocatalysts were loaded onto the FeOSnS heterocatalyst through the impregnation method, as verified by high-resolution transform electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and elemental mapping. Photocatalytic ethanol photoreforming resulted in the production of H2 as the main product with a selectivity of 99% and some trace amounts of CH4. The FeOSnS2-PdO x 2%/MnO x 1% photocatalyst achieved the highest HE rate of 1654 μmol/g, attributed to the synergistic redox contribution of the PdO x and MnO x species.

Abstract
A signal-enhanced photoelectrochemical immunoassay technique for detecting neuron specific enolase (NSE) was proposed. As a photoactive matrix, (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6 was firstly investigated via doping Ce and Ag into Sb2WO6. It could be found that the presence of Ce and Ag not only had enormous variation on the morphology of Sb2WO6, but also showed excellent PEC behavior. In order to further improve the visible light utilization rate of (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6, In2S3 was modified onto the surface of (Ce,Ag):Sb2WO6 to enhance visible light absorption. In addition, the CdS/PDA was served as a secondary antibody marker to further amplify signal. Especially, PDA as an electron donor could effectively remove photogenerated holes. Meanwhile, the good matching cascade band-edge levels between CdS and Sb2WO6 could promote photoelectron migration, improve the PEC response, and achieve sensitive detection of NSE. Under the selected excellent conditions, the photocurrent can linearly increase with the increase of NSE concentration in the operating range from 0.1 pg/mL to 50 ng/mL, and the limit of detection is 1.57 fg/mL. The constructed immunosensor also exhibits satisfactory stability, selectivity, and reproducibility, and it creates conditions for the detection of other biomolecules.

Abstract
Heterostructured nanohybrids were prepared from sodium bismuth sulfide (NaBiS2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) through hydrothermal process. The nanocomposite was used for tetracycline (TC) degradation as well as photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. Morphology and structural analyses were performed to confirm the dispersion of ultra-small ZnO nanosheets into the NaBiS2 nanoribbons. By tuning the band gap, it was possible to degrade tetracycline toxic pollutant within 90 min under the simulated solar light irradiation, while PEC suggested a lower charge-transfer resistance, high photocurrent response, and exceptionally good stability. The highest photocurrent density of 0.751 mAcm-2 vs. Ag/AgCl in 0.1 M Na2SO3 solution was observed under solar-light illumination. Detailed photocatalytic mechanisms for the degradation of TC and PEC water oxidation are discussed.
