Abstract
Environmental problems, including the increasingly polluted water and the energy crisis, have led to a need to propose novel strategies/methodologies to contribute to sustainable progress and enhance human well-being. For these goals, heterogeneous semiconducting-based photocatalysis is introduced as a green, eco-friendly, cost-effective, and effective strategy. The introduction of anion vacancies in semiconductors has been well-known as an effective strategy for considerably enhancing the photocatalytic activity of such photocatalytic systems, giving them the advantages of promoting light harvesting, facilitating photogenerated electron-hole pair separation, optimizing the electronic structure, and enhancing the yield of reactive radicals. This Review will introduce the effects of anion vacancy-dominated photodegradation systems. Then, their mechanism will illustrate how an anion vacancy changes the photodegradation pathway to enhance the degradation efficiency toward pollutants and the overall photocatalytic performance. Specifically, the vacancy defect types and the methods of tailoring vacancies will be briefly illustrated, and this part of the Review will focus on the oxygen vacancy (OV) and its recent advances. The challenges and development issues for engineered vacancy defects in photocatalysts will also be discussed for practical applications and to provide a promising research direction. Finally, some prospects for this emerging field will be proposed and suggested. All permission numbers for adopted figures from the literature are summarized in a separate file for the Editor.

Abstract
The Z-scheme heterojunction has received widespread attention due to it can effectively improve the photocatalytic activity of photocatalytic materials. In this paper, a p-p Z-scheme hererojunction composed of bismuth oxybromide and oxygen-rich bismuth oxybromide was synthesized via facile one-step solvothermal method. Based on the characterization results, we demonstrated that the BiOBr/Bi12O17Br2 Z-scheme heterojunction was synthesized by intimate interface contact between BiOBr and Bi12O17Br2 p-type semiconductors. This endowed the heterojunction composite with excellent photogenerated carrier transfer ability and photogenerated electron-hole separation performance compared with pure BiOBr and Bi12O17Br2 materials, which were proven by photoelectrochemical measurement, photoluminescence spectra. The maximum photocurrent of BiOBr/Bi12O17Br2 (≈0.32 μA) is approximately 3 times that of the original BiOBr (≈0.08 μA ) when light is irradiated. In addition, the BiOBr/Bi12O17Br2 p-p Z-scheme composite photocatalyst had good photocatalytic activity for sulfamethoxazole, with ·O2- free radicals as the main active species. It could photodegrade 99% sulfamethoxazole under light irradiation at 365 nm, and its degradation rate was approximately 13 times that of BiOBr and 1.5 times that of Bi12O17Br2 materials. Notably, BiOBr/Bi12O17Br2 exhibited an excellent performance after 4 consecutive runs. Besides, the possible degradation pathway of sulfamethoxazole was proposed. This work has reference significance for the construction of p-p Z-scheme heterojunctions and the treatment of environmental contaminants.

Abstract
The current developments and progress in energy and environment-related areas pay special attention to the fabrication of advanced nanomaterials via green and sustainable paths to accomplish chemical circularity. The design and preparation methods of photocatalysts play a prime role in determining the structural, surface characteristics and optoelectronic properties of the final products. The solution combustion synthesis (SCS) technique is a relatively novel, cost-effective, and efficient method for the bulk production of nanostructured materials. SCS-fabricated metal oxides are of great technological importance in photocatalytic, environmental and energy applications. To date, the SCS route has been employed to produce a large variety of solid materials such as metals, sulfides, carbides, nitrides and single or complex metal oxides. This review intends to provide a holistic perspective of the different steps involved in the chemistry of SCS of advanced photocatalysts, and pursues several SCS metrics that influence their photocatalytic performances to establish a feasible approach to design advanced photocatalysts. The study highlights the fundamentals of SCS and the importance of various combustion parameters in the characteristics of the fabricated photocatalysts. Consequently, this work deals with the design of a concise framework to link the fine adjustment of SCS parameters for the development of efficient metal oxide photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications.

Abstract
A novel ternary dual Z-scheme 2D g-C3N4 nanosheet/Ag3PO4/α-Bi2O3 (CNN/AP/BO) photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by an in situ deposition and hydrothermal-calcination method. The coupling of AP and BO remarkably enhanced the photocatalytic tetracycline (TC) degradation under visible light illumination, with an optimal removal efficiency of 91.6% (60 min), which can be attributed to the extended visible-light absorption and increased specific surface area owing to the interfacial intimate coupling with well-matched energy band positions between semiconductors. The improved photocatalytic activity resulted from the abundant free radicals by the order of ˙O2- > h+ > ˙OH based on the electron spin resonance (ESR) and quenching experiment results. In addition, the possible mechanism of TC degradation over the ternary dual Z-scheme heterojunction CNN/AP/BO was proposed.

Abstract
Semiconductor assisted photocatalysis is one of the most efficient methods for the degradation of complex organic dyes. A major limiting factor of semiconductor assisted photocatalysis is the requirement of a continuous source of light to perform a redox reaction. One of the upcoming solutions is photon energy-storing long afterglow/persistent phosphors. They are an unusual kind of rechargeable, photon energy capturing/trapping phosphors that can trap charge carriers (electrons/holes) in their meta-stable energy levels, thereby resulting in persistent luminescence. Persistence luminescence from such materials can range from minutes to hours. The coupling of long afterglow phosphors (LAP) with the conventional semiconductor is a promising way to support the photocatalytic process even in dark. In addition, dissimilar band structures of LAPs and semiconductor results in formation of heterojunction which further suppresses the recombination of charge. Such an encouraging idea of LAP for round-the-clock working photocatalytic system is in its premature stage; which is required to be investigated fully. Thus, we present a state-of-art review on the potential materials for assisting round-the-clock photocatalysis, trapping-detrapping mechanism in LAP materials, fabrication strategies and their associated characterization tools. Review also covers LAP materials and their photocatalytic mechanism briefly.

Abstract
It is well known that the most important task of photocatalytic technology is to synthesize photocatalysts with compact heterojunction structure and high redox ability. To achieve the goal, a novel Z-scheme BiO2-x/BiOBr heterojunction containing oxygen vacancy was synthesized by an in-situ generation process. Several techniques, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have verified the BiO2-x/BiOBr heterojunction. XPS and electron spin resonance (ESR) reveals the presence of oxygen vacancy in the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite. As expected, the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite showed good performance in removing Escherichia coli (E. coli), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Rhodamine B (RhB) and tetracycline (TC). The effects of inorganic ions, pH value and water matrix were investigated with many details. The active species and proposed mechanism were revealed by trapping experiment and related characterizations. The synergistic effect of oxygen vacancy and Z-scheme heterojunction makes the BiO2-x/BiOBr composite possess excellent photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
There is little research on the visible light photocatalytic properties of the hybrids of plasmonic metals and organic molecules (OM) with the HOMO-LUMO gap in the visible range. Here, we investigate the mechanism of the visible light enhanced reduction of p-nitrophenol (PNP) by glycerol (a green reductant) at ambient temperature over curcumin functionalized Ag nanoparticles (c-AgNPs). The catalytic activity got significantly boosted under visible light irradiation. Reaction kinetics indicated that the catalytic mechanism followed under visible light and in the dark were different. DFT calculations showed that in the ground state, the HOMO resides on Ag while the LUMO is on the curcumin part of the composite. TD-DFT calculations demonstrated the transfer of charge from Ag to curcumin on photo-excitation. Based on this information, we propose a mechanism for understanding the role of curcumin in this photocatalytic phenomenon.

Abstract
In this study, a novel 3D flower-sphere BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2 with proper-oxygen vacancies (OV) was successfully synthesized by using 3D BiOBr as a self-sacrificed template, NaOH as a structure-driving reagent and midwifery agent of OV. The synthesis mechanism was systematically studied. It revealed that Bi4O5Br2 lamina generated via in-situ phase transfer tightly interspersed in the interior and surface of 3D BiOBr hierarchical structures; calcination temperature, stirring time and -OH concentration can optimize the composition and structure of materials. Also, the calcination conditions (temperatures and air or N2 atmosphere) can regulate the OV's concentration. Ultimately, 3D hierarchical architectures, the optimal heterojunction composition and OV with proper concentrations three positive factors synergistically promoted the photoelectric activity of BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2-OV, making it exhibit ultrahigh photocatalytic activity for antibiotic photodegradation (tetracycline, TC; ciprofloxacin, CIP). We believe the synthesis methods and design idea mentioned in this paper have high instructive significance to prepare high-performance materials.

Abstract
Simultaneous and dual N-doping of two components in reduced graphene oxide/ZnO nanocomposites were successfully achieved by thermally annealing a GO/Zn(HCO3)2 precursor in an NH3 atmosphere. In this facile preparative procedure, NH3 was used not only as the reagent for in situ reduction of GO but also as the source for N-doping. Detailed characterizations showed that the nitrogen element was successfully and simultaneously incorporated into the crystal lattice of ZnO and graphene phases in the composites and the formation of oxygen vacancies was also achieved. The photocatalytic tests indicated that N-doping of graphene/ZnO (NG/NZO) nanocomposites exhibited the higher Cr(vi) photoreduction activity than graphene/ZnO, virgin N-doped ZnO (NZO) and the sample prepared via simple physically mixing. The mechanistic study demonstrated that the remarkable photocatalytic activity of NG/NZO photocatalysts was due to the synergistic effect of simultaneously N-doping two phases in the composites and the existence of oxygen vacancies, and mainly included the increased electrical conductivity of N-doped graphene (NG), the expansion of visible light harvesting capability of NZO and the effective separation of electron–hole pairs of the oxygen vacancies. Simultaneous and dual N-doping of two components in reduced graphene oxide/ZnO nanocomposites were successfully achieved by thermally annealing a GO/Zn(HCO3)2 precursor in an NH3 atmosphere.![]()

Abstract
A novel direct Z-scheme Zn0.1Cd0.9S/FeWO4 (ZCS/FW) photocatalyst was prepared by a facile calcination method. The photocatalytic performance was investigated by photodegradation rhodamine B (RhB) and photocatalytic production hydrogen (H2) under visible light irradiation. Compared with the pure ZCS, the ZCS/FW composites show considerably improved photocatalytic activity for degradation RhB and production H2. Noticeably, the ZCS/FW with 7 wt% of FW exhibits optimal photocatalytic activity with the H2 evolution rate of 34.6 mmol g-1 h-1 and photodegradation of about 98% of RhB solution (10 mg l-1) in 60 min. These outstanding photocatalytic performances were found to be ascribed to the formation of direct Z-scheme heterojunction, resulting in effective separation and transfer of photogenerated charge carriers. Moreover, active species trapping experiments further demonstrate the electrons transfer followed Z-scheme system, and the photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.
