Abstract
The ternary chalcogenide ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) has been synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method in which the carcinogen thiacetamide, universally used as a precursor, has been, for the first time, replaced successfully with the harmless thiourea. ZIS has been used as photocatalyst for the partial oxidation of different aromatic alcohols to their corresponding aldehyde in water solution, under ambient conditions and simulated solar light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of ZnIn2S4 was better than TiO2 P25. In the presence of ZIS for 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, piperonyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol, a selectivity towards the corresponding aldehyde of 99 % for a conversion of 46 %, 75 % for a conversion of 81 %, and 87 % for a conversion of 25 %, respectively, was obtained. For the same alcohols a selectivity of 19 % for a conversion of 41 %, 19 % for a conversion of 13 %, and 16 % for a conversion of 26 %, was observed in the presence of TiO2 P25.

Su P, Zhang D, Yao X, Liang T, Yang N, Zhang D, Pu X, Liu J, Cai P, Li Z. Enhanced piezo-photocatalytic performance in ZnIn 2S 4/BiFeO 3 heterojunction stimulated by solar and mechanical energy for efficient hydrogen evolution. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 662:276-288. [PMID: 38354555 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.02.058] [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: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/05/2024] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
An emerging approach that employs both light and vibration energy on binary photo-/piezoelectric semiconductor materials for efficient hydrogen (H2) evolution has garnered considerable attention. ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) is recognized as a promising visible-light-activated photocatalyst. However, its effectiveness is constraint by the slow separation dynamics of photoexcited carriers. Density functional theory (DFT) predictions have shown that the integration of piezoelectric BiFeO3 (BFO) is conducive to the reduction of the H2 adsorption free energy (ΔGH*) for the photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction, thereby enhancing the reaction kinetics. Informed by theoretical predictions, piezoelectric BFO polyhedron particles were successfully synthesized and incorporated with ZIS nanoflowers to create a ZIS/BFO heterojunction using an ultrasonic-assisted calcination method. When subjected to simultaneous ultrasonic treatment and visible-light irradiation, the optimal ZIS/BFO piezoelectric enhanced (piezo-enhanced) heterojunction exhibited a piezoelectric photocatalytic (piezo-photocatalytic) H2 evolution rate approximately 6.6 times higher than that of pristine ZIS and about 3.0 times greater than the rate achieved under light-only conditions. Moreover, based on theoretical predictions and experimental results, a plausible mechanism and charge transfer route for the enhancement of piezo-photocatalytic performance were studied by the subsequent piezoelectric force microscopy (PFM) measurements and DFT calculations. The findings of this study strongly confirm that both the internal electric field of the step-scheme (S-Scheme) heterojunction and the alternating piezoelectric field generated by the vibration of BFO can enhance the transportation and separation of electron-hole pairs. This study presents a concept for the multipath utilization of light and vibrational energy to harness renewable energy from the environment.

Abstract
Metal sulfide-based homojunction photocatalysts are extensively explored with improved photocatalytic performance. However, the construction of metal sulfide-based S-scheme homojunction remains a challenge. Herein, the fabrication of 2D CdIn2S4 nanosheets coated 3D CdIn2S4 octahedra (referred to as 2D/3D n-CIS/o-CIS) S-scheme homojunction photocatalyst is reported by simply adjustment of polyvinyl pyrrolidone amount during the solvothermal synthesis. The formation of S-scheme homojunction within n-CIS/o-CIS is systematically investigated via a series of characterizations, which can generate an internal electric field to facilitate the separation and migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. The 2D/3D n-CIS/o-CIS composite exhibits significantly improved photocatalytic activity and stability in the selective oxidation of phenylcarbinol (PhCH2OH) to benzaldehyde (PhCHO) when compared to pure n-CIS and o-CIS samples under visible light irradiation. It is hoped that this work can contribute novel insights into the development of metal sulfides S-scheme homojunction photocatalysts for solar energy conversion.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis can convert carbon dioxide into high value-added chemicals. However, due to the poor charge separation efficiency and CO2 activation ability, the conversion efficiency of photocatalytic CO2 reduction is greatly restricted. Ultrathin 2D photocatalyst emerges as an alternative to realize the higher CO2 reduction performance. In this review, the basic principle of CO2 photoreduction is introduced, and the types, advantages, and advances of 2D photocatalysts are reviewed in detail including metal oxides, metal chalcogenides, bismuth-based materials, MXene, metal-organic framework, and metal-free materials. Subsequently, the tactics for improving the performance of 2D photocatalysts are introduced in detail via the surface atomic configuration and electronic state tuning such as component tuning, crystal facet control, defect engineering, element doping, cocatalyst modification, polarization, and strain engineering. Finally, the concluding remarks and future development of 2D photocatalysts in CO2 reduction are prospected.

Abstract
The high electrons and holes recombination rate of ZnIn2S4 significantly limits its photocatalytic performance. Herein, a simple in situ photodeposition strategy is adopted to introduce the cocatalyst cobalt phosphate (Co-Pi) on ZnIn2S4, aiming at facilitating the separation of electron-hole by promoting the transfer of photogenerated holes of ZnIn2S4. The study reveals that the composite catalyst has superior photocatalytic performance than blank ZnIn2S4. In particular, ZnIn2S4 loaded with 5% Co-Pi (ZnIn2S4/5%Co-Pi) has the best photocatalytic activity, and the H2 production rate reaches 3593 μmol·g-1·h-1, approximately double that of ZnIn2S4 alone. Subsequent characterization data demonstrate that the introduction of the cocatalyst Co-Pi facilitates the transfer of ZnIn2S4 holes, thus improving the efficiency of photogenerated carrier separation. This investigation focuses on the rational utilization of high-content and rich cocatalysts on earth to design low-cost and efficient composite catalysts to achieve sustainable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Abstract
The simultaneous utilization of electrons and holes to couple photocatalytic H2 production with selective biomass transformation has attracted immense interest toward achieving sustainability in the fields of energy and chemical industry. In this study, by assembling highly dispersed Ni(OH)2 onto ZnIn2S4 (ZIS), efficient H2 evolution along with highly selective photocatalytic oxidation of furfuryl alcohol (FA) to furfural (FF) in pure water was achieved under anaerobic conditions. The H2 production and FA conversion rates over the optimal Ni-ZIS sample reached about 686 and 583 μmol g-1 h-1, respectively, about 4.9 and 1.7 folds as those of pure ZIS. Moreover, the formation of by-products with C-C coupling was dramatically suppressed over Ni-ZIS, resulting in higher selectivity for FF (97%), which is about 2.7-fold that of pure ZIS (36%). Deep mechanistic studies were conducted to reveal the structural evolution and cocatalyst effects of Ni(OH)2. This study not only offers a feasible paradigm for modifying the surface of catalysts to tune the photoactivity and selectivity for product-oriented alcohol oxidation coupled with efficient H2 production in water but also reveals the working mechanism of the deposited Ni(OH)2 over ZIS toward coupling reactions.

Abstract
Integrating photocatalytic CO2 reduction with selective benzyl alcohol (BA) oxidation in one photoredox reaction system is a promising way for the simultaneous utilization of photogenerated electrons and holes. Herein, ZnmIn2S3+m (m = 1-5) semiconductors (ZnIn2S4, Zn2In2S5, Zn3In2S6, Zn4In2S7, and Zn5In2S8) with various composition faults were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method and used for effective selective dehydrocoupling of benzyl alcohol into high-value C-C coupling products and reduction of CO2 into syngas under visible light. The absorption edge of ZnmIn2S3+m samples shifted to shorter wavelengths as the atomic ratio of Zn/In was increased. The conduction band and valence band position can be adjusted by changing the Zn/In ratio, resulting in controllable photoredox ability for selective BA oxidation and CO2 reduction. For example, the selectivity of benzaldehyde (BAD) product was reduced from 76% (ZnIn2S4, ZIS1) to 27% (Zn4In2S7, ZIS4), while the selectivity of hydrobenzoin (HB) was increased from 22% to 56%. Additionally, the H2 formation rate on ZIS1 (1.6 mmol/g/h) was 1.6 times higher than that of ZIS4 (1.0 mmol/g/h), and the CO formation rate on ZIS4 (0.32 mmol/g/h) was three times higher than that of ZIS1 (0.13 mmol/g/h), demonstrating that syngas with different H2/CO ratios can be obtained by controlling the Zn/In ratio in ZnmIn2S3+m. This study provides new insights into unveiling the relationship of structure-property of ZnmIn2S3+m layered crystals, which are valuable for implementation in a wide range of environment and energy applications.

Abstract
Photochemical deposition has been attracting increasing attention for preparing nano-catalysts due to its mild reaction conditions, simplicity, green and safe characteristics, and potential for various applications in photocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and electrocatalysis. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advances in photochemical deposition methods for fabricating heterogeneous catalysts, and summarize the factors that influence the nucleation and growth of metal nanoparticles during the photochemical process. Specifically, we focus on the various factors including surface defects, crystal facets, surface properties and the surface plasmon effect on the size, morphology and distribution control of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles on semiconductors. The control of the photogenerated charges and the triggered photochemical reactions have been proved to be significant in the photochemical deposition process. Besides, the applications of the obtained catalytic materials in thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis is highlighted, considering that many reviews have covered photocatalysis applications. We first introduce the principle of photodeposition, nucleation and growth theory, and factors affecting photodeposition. Then, we introduce photodeposition methods that can achieve "controlled" photodeposition from a strategic perspective. Finally, we summarize the fruitful results of controlled photodeposition and provide future prospects for the development of controlled photodeposition technologies and methods, as well as the deepening and expansion of applications.

Abstract
A novel dual-mode microfluidic analytical device integrating self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensing with electrochromic visualization analysis was developed for ultrasensitive ofloxacin (OFL) detection. First, an advanced dual direct Z-scheme BiVO4@Ni-ZnIn2S4/Bi2S3 (BVZIS) heterojunction was designed as a photoanode matrix to steadily provide electrons. The dual Z-scheme structure formed in photoactive BVZIS composites greatly accelerated the migration of electrons. In addition, the doping of Ni in ZnIn2S4 markedly enhanced the optical absorption and promoted the separation of the photocarrier. Second, electrochromic material polyaniline-modified Au (Au/PANI) was first electrodeposited on the photocathode for immobilizing aptamers and realizing visualized readout. On the one hand, Au/PANI with excellent conductivity could receive electrons from the photoanode without external energy supply. On the other hand, PANI would be rapidly reduced by the received electrons and change its color from blue to green obviously. With the increase in OFL, the increased steric hindrance resulted in the significant decline in the PEC signal and RGBgreen value. Third, wide linear ranges of PEC (0.05 pg/mL to 150 ng/mL) and electrochromic technique (0.1 pg/mL to 100 ng/mL) as well as low detection limits of PEC (18 fg/mL) and electrochromic (30 fg/mL) sensors could achieve the ultrasensitive detection of OFL in milk and river water.

Abstract
Photocatalytic H2 evolution coupled with organic transformation provides a new avenue to cooperatively produce clean fuels and fine chemicals, enabling a more efficient conversion of solar energy. Here, a novel two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure of ultrathin ZnIn2S4 nanosheets decorated with amorphous nickel boride (Nix-B) is prepared for simultaneous photocatalytic anaerobic H2 generation and aromatic aldehydes production. This ZnIn2S4/Nix-B catalyst elaborately combines the ultrathin structure advantage of the ZnIn2S4 semiconductor and the cocatalytic function of Nix-B. A high H2 production rate of 8.9 mmol h-1 g-1 is delivered over the optimal ZnIn2S4/Nix-B with a stoichiometric production of benzaldehyde, which is about 22 times higher than ZnIn2S4. Especially, the H2 evolution rate is much higher than the value (2.8 mmol h-1 g-1) of the traditional photocatalytic half reaction of H2 production with triethanolamine as a sacrificial agent. The apparent quantum yield reaches 24% at 420 nm, representing an advanced photocatalyst system. Moreover, compared with traditional sulfide, hydroxide, and even noble metal modified ZnIn2S4/M counterparts (M = NiS, Ni(OH)2, Pt), the ZnIn2S4/Nix-B also maintains markedly higher photocatalytic activity, showing a highly efficient and economical advantage of the Nix-B cocatalyst. This work sheds light on the exploration of 2D ultrathin semiconductors decorated with novel transition metal boride cocatalyst for efficient photocatalytic organic transformation integrated with solar fuel production.
