J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 668:471-483. [PMID: 38691957 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.04.195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) macroscopic aerogels have emerged as a critical component in the realm of photocatalysis. Maximizing the integration of materials can result in enhanced efficiency and selectivity in photocatalytic processes. In this investigation, we fabricated MOF-808/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) 3D macroscopic aerogel composite materials employing the techniques of hydrothermal synthesis and freeze-drying. The results revealed that the macroscopic aerogel material exhibited the highest performance in CO2 reduction to CO, particularly when the concentration of RGO was maintained at 5 mg mL-1. In addition, we synthesized powder materials of MR-5 composite photocatalysts and conducted a comparative analysis in terms of photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance and electron transfer efficiency. The results showthat the macroscopic aerogel material boasts a high specific surface area, an abundant internal pore structure, and increased active sites. These attributes collectively enhance light energy utilization, and electron transfer rates, thereby, improving photothermal and photoelectric conversion efficiencies. Furthermore, we conducted in-situ FT-IR measurements and found that the M/R-5 aerogel exhibited the best CO2 adsorption capacity under a CO2 flow rate of 10 mL min-1. The density functional theory results demonstrate the correlation between the formation pathway of the product and the charge transfer pathway. This study provides useful ideas for realizing photocatalytic CO2 reduction of macroscopic aerogel materials in gas-solid reaction mode.

Manganese phosphorous trifulfide nanosheets and nitrogen doped carbon dot composites with manganese vacancies for a greatly enhanced hydrogen evolution. J Colloid Interface Sci 2022; 627:438-448. [PMID: 35868039 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2022.07.089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Revised: 07/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/14/2022] [Indexed: 10/17/2022]
Abstract
As a novel chalcogenide photocatalyst, MnPS3 suffered from limited visible light absorption, high photogenerated electron-hole recombination, and low hole oxidation capability due to its high valence band (VB) potential. In this work, the novel MnPS3 nanosheets-Nitrogen-doped carbon dots (NCDs) composites were fabricated by immobilizing NCDs with terminal amine groups on Na+ intercalated MnPS3 nanosheets for a greatly enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production activity. MnPS3 nanosheets of 400 nm with Mn2+ vacancies are produced in high yield by NaCl intercalation and subsequent exfoliation in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). NCDs with 5 nm are evenly loaded on the surface of MnPS3 nanosheets of 400 nm via strong chemical interactions of ammonium sulfate salts formed at the interface. The MnPS3-NCDs composites exhibit enhanced light absorption at 500-600 nm, reduced charge recombination and notably promoted photocatalytic activity in relative to neat MnPS3 nanosheets. MnPS3-NCDs composite with the NCDs content of 16.5% possessed the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 339.63 μmol·g-1·h-1 with good cycling stability, which is 9.17 times that of exfoliated MnPS3 nanosheets. The type-II MnPS3-NCDs heterojunction is conducive to the efficient interfacial carrier transport and the significantly improved photocatalytic hydrogen generation activity. Our work confirmed that the non-toxic MnPS3 could possess photocatalytic performance comparable to CdS, which will be promising to become an attractive visible-light driven photocatalyst in environmental purification and energy applications.

Abstract
The successful synthesis of ruthenium oxide/reduced graphene oxide (RuO2/rGO) heterostructures by one-pot hydrothermal method using graphene oxides and RuCl3 as precursors is reported. The heterostructures had high peroxidase-like (POD-like) activities, which catalyzes the oxidation of classical peroxidase substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in the presence of H2O2 to create a blue colored reaction product. The catalytic activity was significantly enhanced by the synergistic effect between RuO2 nanoparticles and rGO. RuO2/rGO had a low Km of 0.068 mM and a high vmax of 1.228 × 10-7 M·s-1 towards TMB in the TMB-H2O2 catalytic oxidation system. In addition, the POD-like activity originating from the electron transfer mechanism was confirmed by cytochrome C (Cyt C) oxidation experiment. A colorimetric method based on RuO2/rGO heterostructures was developed with good sensitivity and selectivity for glucose detection with a limit of detection of 3.34 μM and a linear range of 0-1500 μM. The RuO2/rGO heterostructures have potential applications in the biomedical areas, such as biosensor and diagnostics.

Abstract
Semiconductor materials have been used for photocatalytic degradation since they were discovered to be useful for photocatalytic degradation. Many studies have been researched to improve the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation. Among them, the introduction of vacancies to improve the photocatalytic efficiency has been verified to be a more feasible method. In this study, we combined two-dimensional (2D) graphite carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanosheets with oxygen-containing vacancy zero-dimensional (0D) Bi2WO6 (BWO-OV) quantum dots to prepare 2D-0D g-C3N4/Bi2WO6-OV composite catalyst. The use of Bi2WO6 containing oxygen vacancies enhanced the absorption of light and increased the generation of photogenerated carriers. In addition, the formation of heterojunction and the vacancy structure of Bi2WO6 promote the life of photogenerated carriers and improve the catalytic effect of the catalyst. This structure shows high efficiency in removing low concentration (0.5 ppm) of nitric oxide (NO) at room temperature. The efficiency of the composite catalyst is much higher than g-C3N4 or BWO-OV, and better than the composite g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 without oxygen vacancies. When applied to NO removal, the composite g-C3N4/Bi2WO6-OV-10 showed the best catalytic activity which was up to 61.2%. At the same time, five cycles of experiments show that the material has excellent stability.

Abstract
The development of efficient and non-toxic photocatalysts with a full spectrum response is a primary strategy in the area of photocatalytically mediated pollutant elimination. Herein, we report the preparation of novel nitrogen and iron co-doped carbon dots/gear-shaped WO3 (N,Fe-CDs/G-WO3) with significantly improved broad-spectrum utilization. Characterization results demonstrated that the gear-shaped G-WO3, decorated by N,Fe-CDs with excellent electron transfer/reservoir properties, possessed abundant oxygen vacancies, had large specific surface areas, had multiple light-reflections and had a narrow band gap. As a result, the N,Fe-CDs/G-WO3 composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of water contaminants under full spectrum irradiation. For example, the photodegradative efficiencies of rhodamine B (RhB) reached 81.4%, 97.1%, and 75% in 2 h, under ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared (UV, vis, and NIR) light irradiation, respectively. Moreover, the N,Fe-CDs/G-WO3 composite also exhibited an outstanding photocatalytic degradation efficiency for other dyes, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (PPCPs) like methylene blue (MB), ciprofloxacin (CIP), tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), and oxytetracycline (OTC) (91.1%, 70.5%, 54.5%, and 47.8% in 3 h, respectively). The radical trapping experiments indicated that h+ and ·OH were the main reactive oxidative species (ROS), and the conversion between Fe (III) and Fe (II) played a key role in the photocatalytic reactions. Such a N,Fe-CD decorated material with brilliant photocatalytic activity has tremendous potential for application in environmental remediation.

Abstract
ZIF-67-derived 3D hollow mesoporous crystalline Co3 O4 wrapped by 2D graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) nanosheets are prepared by low temperature annealing, and are used for the photocatalytic oxidation of nitric oxide (NO) at a concentration of 600 ppb. The p-n heterojunction between Co3 O4 and g-C3 N4 forms a spatial conductive network frame and results in a broad visible light response range. The hollow mesoporous structure of Co3 O4 contributes to the circulation and adsorption of NO, and the large specific surface area exposes abundant active sites for the reaction of active species. A maximum NO degradation efficiency of 57% is achieved by adjusting the mass of the Co3 O4 precursor. Cycling tests and X-ray diffraction indicate the high stability and recyclability of the composite, making it promising in environmental purification applications.
