Abstract
Hollow nanoreactors (HoNRs) have regarded as an attractive catalytic material for photocatalysis due to their exceptional capabilities in enhancing light harvesting, facilitating charge separation and transfer, and optimizing surface reactions. Developing novel HoNRs offers new options to realize controllable catalytic behavior. However, the catalytic mechanism of photocatalysis occurring in HoNRs has not yet been fully revealed. Against this backdrop, this review elaborates on three aspects: 1) the fundamental theoretical insights of HoNRs-driven photocatalytic kinetics; 2) structure-performance relationship of HoNRs to photocatalysis; 3) catalytic advantages of HoNRs in photocatalytic applications. Specifically, the review focuses on the fundamental theories of HoNRs for photocatalysis and their structural advantages for strengthening light scattering, promoting charge separation and transfer, and facilitating surface reaction kinetics, and the relationship between key structural parameters of HoNRs and their photocatalytic performance is in-depth discussed. Also, future prospects and challenges are proposed. It is anticipated that this review paper will pave the way for forthcoming investigations in the realm of HoNRs for photocatalysis.

Abstract
The exploration of advanced photocatalysts for antibiotic degradation is critical, but it remains a challenge due to the lack of rational structural design and in-depth insights into molecular oxygen activation. Water-floating photocatalysts could be one of the best choices owing to their technical features in terms of reasonability and efficiency involving a high oxygenation of photocatalyst surface, fully solar irradiation, and simple recycling and reuse. Herein, a floatable litchi-like architecture of a polystyrene-sphere-supported TiO2/Bi2O3 (PS@TiO2/Bi2O3) S-scheme heterojunction was skillfully constructed and evaluated for photodegradation of model tetracycline (TC) antibiotics. By integrating the advantages of floatability and S-scheme, the TC removal rate of the optimal PS@TiO2/Bi2O3-0.4 catalyst can reach 88.4% under 1 h illumination, which is higher than that of pristine Bi2O3 (60.8%) and PS@TiO2 (40.1%). Moreover, PS@TiO2/Bi2O3-0.4 exhibits high recyclability and stability, and there is no significant loss of activity after five cycles of repeated use. With the aid of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and density functional theory calculations, a reasonable degradation pathway for TC was proposed. The present work provides a recyclable and efficient approach for the photodegradation of TC, expecting to guide the innovative exploitation of other environmental systems.

Abstract
The design of a photocatalytic system with Z-scheme heterojunction is the key to charge separation. In this paper, a simple synthesis method was used to prepare Bi12O15Cl6/InVO4 photocatalyst. The synthesized photocatalyst can effectively degrade pollutants, and inactivate bacteria under LED light irradiation. The optimal ratio of 30% Bi12O15Cl6/InVO4 material effectively degraded 78.85% of TC and 97.83% of RhB within 90 min and inactivated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in 40 min. This improvement in photocatalytic performance is mainly due to the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction between Bi12O15Cl6 and InVO4, which produces effective charge separation and improves photocatalytic degradation and antibacterial activity. The capture experiment revealed the main active substances. The effects of catalyst dosage and pollutant concentration were investigated in details. The intermediates of TC degradation were identified by mass spectrometry (MS), and the possible photocatalytic degradation pathway was proposed. Capture experiment and related measurements proposed the Z-scheme mechanism. This work emphasizes the importance of heterogeneous structure construction and proposes feasible solutions for the rational design of catalysts with photodegradation and antibacterial properties under LED light.

Abstract
Hollow structures in TiO2 materials can enhance the photocatalytic properties by reducing the diffusion length and improving the accessibility of active sites for the reactants. However, existing approaches for preparing hollow TiO2 materials have two drawbacks that restrict their engineering applicability: first, a heavy reliance on templates to form a hollow structure, which makes the preparation laborious, complicated, and costly; second, difficult-to-achieve high crystallization while maintaining the small grain size in calcinated TiO2, which is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic activity. Herein, a simple, effective method is proposed that not only enables the preparation of hybrid TiO2-SiO2 hollow spheres without the template fabrication and removal process via microemulsion technology but also achieves both high crystallization and a small grain size in calcinated TiO2 at once through the calcination of amorphous TiO2 with organosilane at a high temperature of 850 °C. The prepared TiO2-SiO2 hollow spheres with tunable sizes demonstrate high photocatalytic activity with a maximum k value of 133.74 × 10-3 min-1, which is superior to commercial photocatalyst P25 (k = 114.97 × 10-3 min-1). In addition, Au can be doped in the hybrid TiO2-SiO2 shell to gain Au-doped hollow spheres that show a high k value of up to 694.14 × 10-3 min-1, which is 6 times larger than that of P25 and much better than that reported in the literature. This study not only provides an effective approach to stabilize and tune the grain growth of the TiO2 photocatalyst during calcination but also enables the simple preparation of hollow TiO2-based materials with controllable hollow nanostructures.

Abstract
A simple wet impregnation-calcination method was used to obtain a series of novel non-metal doped TiO2 photocatalysts. Biuret was applied as C and N source, while raw titanium dioxide derived from sulfate technology process was used as TiO2 and S source. The influence of the modification with biuret and the effect of the atmosphere (air or argon) and temperature (500–800 °C) of calcination on the physicochemical properties and photocatalytic activity of the photocatalysts towards ketoprofen decomposition under simulated solar light was investigated. Moreover, selected photocatalysts were applied for ketoprofen photodecomposition under visible and UV irradiation. Crucial features affecting the photocatalytic activity were the anatase to rutile phase ratio, anatase crystallites size and non-metals content. The obtained photocatalysts revealed improved activity in the photocatalytic ketoprofen decomposition compared to the crude TiO2. The best photoactivity under all irradiation types exhibited the photocatalyst calcined in the air atmosphere at 600 °C, composed of 96.4% of anatase with 23 nm crystallites, and containing 0.11 wt% of C, 0.05 wt% of N and 0.77 wt% of S.

Abstract
A novel core/shell C-TiO2/CoTiO3 type II heterojunction was successfully synthesized via a direct calcination method by using MIL-125/Co core-shell nanocakes as a sacrificial template and precursor. In the calcination process, the organic ligand in MIL-125 acts as an in-situ carbon doping source to form a carbon-doped TiO2 core (C-TiO2). At the same time, CoTiO3 nanoparticles are formed on the surface of C-TiO2 by an in-situ solid-state reaction between the C-TiO2 and Co2+ shell of MIL-125/Co. Due to such delicate core/shell structural features, carbon doping and type II heterojunctions, C-TiO2/CoTiO3 core/shell composites can effectively harvest visible light, facilitate the interfacial separation and suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, leading to the remarkable photocatalytic activity for removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP). In particular, C-TiO2/CoTiO3-3 exhibits the best photocatalytic degradation activity of CIP with a degradation efficiency of 99.6% and a total carbon content removal percentage of 76% under visible-light illumination for 120 min. In addition, the proposed photocatalytic mechanism study illustrated that the main radical species in the photocatalytic degradation of CIP using C-TiO2/CoTiO3 as the photocatalyst is •OH. This work provides a new approach and insight for synthesizing core/shell heterojunction-based photocatalysts for various applications.

Abstract
To avoid the loss of catalytic material powder, a loaded catalytic material of TiO2 with basalt fiber as the carrier (TiO2@BF) was synthesized by an improved sol-gel method. The TiO2@BF was doped with different contents of N, Fe and Zn elements and was used to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) under ultraviolet light. The physical characterization analysis indicated that the co-doping of the N, Fe and Zn elements had the effects of reducing grain size, increasing sample surface area, and narrowing the electronic band gap. The electronic band gap of nitrogen-iron-zinc co-doped TiO2@BF (N/Fe/Zn_TiO2@BF) was 2.80 eV, which was narrower than that of TiO2@BF (3.11 eV). The degradation efficiency of RhB with N/Fe/Zn_TiO2@BF as a photocatalyst was 4.3 times that of TiO2@BF and its photocatalytic reaction was a first-order kinetic reaction. Quenching experiments suggested that the reactive species mainly include photoinduced holes (h+), superoxide radicals (˙O2 -) and hydroxyl radicals (˙OH). In brief, this study provides a prospective loaded catalytic material and routine for the degradation of organic contaminants in water by a photocatalytic process.

Abstract
The complete removal of tetracycline residuals under visible light still is a challenging task because of their robust ring structure. To tackle this issue, we explore a novel Bi2O3-sensitized TiO2 visible-light photocatalyst by combining p-n heterojunction with hollow structure. The hollow TiO2/Bi2O3 photocatalyst manifests excellent photocatalytic performance and recyclability toward the complete degradation (100%) of antibiotics under visible light (λ > 420 nm) because of the synergistic effect of p-n heterojunction and hollow structure, successfully overcoming the challenge of the incomplete removal of antibiotics over almost all of the reported visible-light photocatalysts. Additionally, the effects of inorganic ions, pH value, water matrix, and outdoor light on the degradation of tetracyclines were investigated with many details. Notably, the degradation pathways and mechanism of tetracycline were revealed according to trapping experiments, HPLC-MS, and photoelectrochemical characterizations. Therefore, this work provides a new insight into developing visible-light photocatalysts with excellent photocatalytic performances for the complete removal of other refractory contaminants.

Abstract
TiO2 has been widely used as a photocatalyst and an electrode material toward the photodegradation of organic pollutants and electrochemical applications, respectively. However, the properties of TiO2 are not enough up to meet practical needs because of its intrinsic disadvantages such as a wide bandgap and low conductivity. Incorporation of carbon into the TiO2 lattice is a promising tool to overcome these limitations because carbon has metal-like conductivity, high separation efficiency of photogenerated electron/hole pairs, and strong visible-light absorption. This review would describe and discuss a variety of strategies to develop carbon-doped TiO2 with enhanced photoelectrochemical performances in environmental, energy, and catalytic fields. Emphasis is given to highlight current techniques and recent progress in C-doped TiO2-based materials. Meanwhile, how to tackle the challenges we are currently facing is also discussed. This understanding will allow the process to continue to evolve and provide facile and feasible techniques for the design and development of carbon-doped TiO2 materials.

Abstract
C and N codoped TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized via a solvothermal method. The degradation of Rhodamine B by the photocatalyst C, N-TiO2 was investigated under visible-light irradiation generated by using a 36 W compact fluorescent lamp which is characterized by wavelengths from 400 to 650 nm. The structure and properties of the obtained photocatalyst have been systematically investigated using X-ray diffraction, TEM, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and BET techniques. The experimental results revealed that C, N codoped TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully synthesized, with an average diameter of 9.1 nm. C, N-TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited an energy band gap of 2.90 eV, which were lower than pristine TiO2 (3.34 eV), C-TiO2 (3.2 eV), and N-TiO2 (3.03 eV). The degradation of Rhodamine B by C, N-TiO2 indicated that, under visible-light irradiation, the optimal dose of the photocatalyst was 1.8 g/L, and the removal of Rhodamine B was almost complete after 3 hours of reaction. The photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B in the range of 5–100 mg/L showed that the process followed the first-order kinetics according to the Langmuir–Hinshelwood model. The highest apparent rate constant (0.0427 min−1) was obtained when the initial concentration of Rhodamine B was 5 mg/L, whereas the former decreased with the increase in the initial concentration of Rhodamine B. Moreover, C and N codoped TiO2 nanoparticles presented a high potential for recycling, which was characterized by a removal efficiency of more than 86% after three cycles.
