Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHP) emerged as highly promising materials for photocatalysis, offering significant advancements in the degradation of soluble and airborne pollutants, as well as the transformation of functional organic compounds. This comprehensive review focuses on recent developments in MHP-based photocatalysts, specifically examining two major categories: lead-based (such as CsPbBr3) and lead-free variants (e.g. Cs2AgBiX6, Cs3Bi2Br9 and others). While the review briefly discusses the contributions of MHPs to hydrogen (H2) production and carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction, the main emphasis is on the design principles that determine the effectiveness of perovskites in facilitating organic reactions and degrading hazardous chemicals through oxidative transformations. Furthermore, the review addresses the key factors that influence the catalytic efficiency of perovskites, including charge recombination, reaction mechanisms involving free radicals, hydroxyl ions, and other ions, as well as phase transformation and solvent compatibility. By offering a comprehensive overview, this review aims to serve as a guide for the design of MHP-based photocatalysis and shed light on the common challenges faced by the scientific community in the domain of organic transformations.

Xu L, Yu JC, Wang Y. Recent advances on bismuth oxyhalides for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction. J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 140:183-203. [PMID: 38331499 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2023] [Revised: 06/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuels such as CO, CH4, and CH3OH, is a promising approach for achieving carbon neutrality. Bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, where X = Cl, Br, and I) are appropriate photocatalysts for this purpose due to the merits of visible-light-active, efficient charge separation, and easy-to-modify crystal structure and surface properties. For practical applications, multiple strategies have been proposed to develop high-efficiency BiOX-based photocatalysts. This review summarizes the development of different approaches to prepare BiOX-based photocatalysts for efficient CO2 reduction. In the review, the fundamentals of photocatalytic CO2 reduction are introduced. Then, several widely used modification methods for BiOX photocatalysts are systematacially discussed, including heterojunction construction, introducing oxygen vacancies (OVs), Bi-enrichment, heteroatom-doping, and morphology design. Finally, the challenges and prospects in the design of future BiOX-based photocatalysis for efficient CO2 reduction are examined.

Abstract
Halide perovskite Cs3Bi2Br9 (CBB) has excellent potential in photocatalysis due to its promising light-harvesting properties. However, its photocatalytic performance might be limited due to the unfavorable charge carrier migration and water-induced properties, which limit the stability and photocatalytic performance. Therefore, we address this constraint in this work by synthesizing a stable halide perovskite heterojunction by introducing hydrogen titanate nanosheets (H2Ti3O7-NS, HTiO-NS). Optimizing the weight % (wt%) of CBB enables synthesizing the optimal CBB/HTiO-NS, CBHTNS heterostructure. The detailed morphology and structure characterization proved that the cubic shape of CBB is anchored on the HTiO-NS surface. The 30 wt% CBB/HTiO-NS-30 (CBHTNS-30) heterojunction showed the highest BnOH photooxidation performance with 98% conversion and 75% benzoic acid (BzA) selectivity at 2 h under blue light irradiation. Detailed optical and photoelectrochemical characterization showed that the incorporating CBB and HTiO-NS widened the range of the visible-light response and improved the ability to separate the photo-induced charge carriers. The presence of HTiO-NS has increased the oxidative properties, possibly by charge separation in the heterojunction, which facilitated the generation of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. A possible reaction pathway for the photocatalytic oxidation of BnOH to BzH and BzA was also suggested. Furthermore, through scavenger experiments, we found that the photogenerated h+, e- and •O2- play an essential role in the BnOH photooxidation, while the •OH have a minor effect on the reaction. This work may provide a strategy for using HTiO-NS-based photocatalyst to enhance the charge carrier migration and photocatalytic performance of CBB.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, organic-inorganic halide perovskites (OIHPs) as novel photocatalyst materials have attracted intensive attention for an impressive variety of photocatalytic applications due to their excellent photophysical (chemical) properties. Regarding practical application and future commercialization, the air-water stability and photocatalytic performance of OIHPs need to be further improved. Accordingly, studying modification strategies and interfacial interaction mechanisms is crucial. In this review, the current progress in the development and photocatalytic fundamentals of OIHPs is summarized. Furthermore, the structural modification strategies of OIHPs, including dimensionality control, heterojunction design, encapsulation techniques, and so on for the enhancement of charge-carrier transfer and the enlargement of long-term stability, are elucidated. Subsequently, the interfacial mechanisms and charge-carrier dynamics of OIHPs during the photocatalytic process are systematically specified and classified via diverse photophysical and electrochemical characterization methods, such as time-resolved photoluminescence measurements, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements, transient photocurrent densities, and so forth. Eventually, various photocatalytic applications of OIHPs, including hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and photocatalytic conversion of organic matter.

Abstract
Nowadays, environmental pollution and the energy crisis are two significant concerns in the world, and photocatalysis is seen as a key solution to these issues. All-inorganic lead halide perovskites have been extensively utilized in photocatalysis and have become one of the most promising materials in recent years. The superior performance of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites distinguish them from other photocatalysts. Since pure lead halide perovskites typically have shortcomings, such as low stability, poor active sites, and ineffective carrier extraction, that restrict their use in photocatalytic reactions, it is crucial to enhance their photocatalytic activity and stability. Huge progress has been made to deal with these critical issues to enhance the effects of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites as efficient photocatalysts in a wide range of applications. In this manuscript, the synthesis methods of all-inorganic lead halide perovskites are discussed, and promising strategies are proposed for superior photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the research progress of photocatalysis applications are summarized; finally, the issues of all-inorganic lead halide perovskite photocatalytic materials at the current state and future research directions are also analyzed and discussed. We hope that this manuscript will provide novel insights to researchers to further promote the research on photocatalysis based on all-inorganic lead halide perovskites.

Abstract
Photocatalysis has received much attention as an environmentally friendly route to manage the emerging organic pollution problems. Herein, BiOBr nanosheets have been synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and then PCN/BiOBr hybrids are designed via a facile wet chemical method. The as-prepared PCN/BiOBr hybrids are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PCN/BiOBr composite exhibits remarkable improved activity in the degradation of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) as compared to the pristine BiOBr. Based on the ·OH amount-related fluorescence spectra fluorescence and the photoelectrochemistry (PEC) tests, it is confirmed that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of PCN/BiOBr is attributed to the promoted charge separation. Moreover, by means of the radical-trapping experiments it is demonstrated that the formed ·O2- species, as the electron-modulated direct products, are the primary active species during the photocatalytic degradation of 2,4-DCP. This work would provide a feasible design strategy to fabricate high-activity photocatalysts for 2,4-DCP degradation.

Abstract
Designing an effective photoactive heterojunction having dual benefits towards photoenergy conversion and pollutant adsorption is regarded as an affordable, green method for eliminating tetracycline (TC) from wastewater. In this regard, a series of BiOBr@NU-1000 (BNU-X, X = 1, 2 and 3) heterojunction photocatalysts are constructed. BNU-X preserves the original skeleton structure of the parent NU-1000, and its high porosity and specific surface area enable superior TC adsorption. At the same time, BNU-X is an effective Z-scheme photocatalyst that improves light trapping, promotes photoelectron-hole separation, and shows excellent photocatalytic degradation efficiency towards TC with the value of the photodegradation kinetic rate constant k being 2.2 and 24.8 times those of NU-1000 and BiOBr, respectively. The significant increase in the photocatalytic activity is ascribed to the construction of an efficient Z-scheme photocatalyst, which promotes the formation of superoxide radicals (˙O2-) and singlet oxygen (1O2) as the main oxidative species in the oxidation system. This research has the advantage of possibilities for the development of porous Z-scheme photocatalysts based on photoactive MOF materials and inorganic semiconductors for the self-purification and photodegradation of organic contaminants.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are emerging photocatalyst materials that can enable sustainable solar-to-chemical energy conversion by virtue of their broad absorption spectra, effective separation/transport of photogenerated carriers, and solution processability. Although preliminary studies show the excellent photocatalytic activities of MHPs, their intrinsic structural instability due to the low formation energy and soft ionic nature is an open challenge for their practical applications. This review discusses the latest understanding of the stability issue and strategies to overcome this issue for MHP-based photocatalysis. First, the origin of the instability issue at atomic levels and the design rules for robust structures are analyzed and elucidated. This is then followed by presenting several different material design strategies for stability enhancement, including reaction medium modification, material surface protection, structural dimensionality engineering, and chemical composition engineering. Emphases are placed on understanding the effects of these strategies on photocatalytic stability as well as the possible structure-performance correlation. Finally, the possible future research directions for pursuing stable and efficient MHP photocatalysts in order to accelerate their technological maturity on a practical scale are outlined. With that, it is hoped to provide readers a valuable snapshot of this rapidly developing and exciting field.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis from selective methane oxidation or nitrogen reduction to value-added chemicals provides a promising pathway for the sustainable chemical industry, while still remaining a great challenge due to the extreme difficulty in C-H and N≡N bond cleavage under ambient conditions. Catalysts that can cocatalyze these two reactions simultaneously are rarely reported. Here, Fe-ZSM-5 with highly dispersed extra-framework Fe-oxo species enables efficient and selective photocatalytic conversion of methane and nitrogen to coproduce methanol and ammonia using H2O as the redox reagent under ambient conditions. The optimized Fe-ZSM-5 photocatalyst achieves up to 0.88 mol/molFe·h of methanol products with 97% selectivity. Meanwhile, the productivity of ammonia is 0.61 mol/molFe·h. In situ EPR and DRIFT studies disclose that water serves as a redox reagent to provide hydroxyl radicals for methane oxidation and protons for nitrogen hydrogenation. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that Fe-oxo species play a significant role in the coactivation of methane and nitrogen molecules, which lowers the energy barriers of rate-determining steps for methanol and ammonia generation.

Abstract
Constructing Bi/BiOX (X = Cl, Br) heterostructures with unique electron transfer channels enables charge carriers to transfer unidirectionally at the metal/semiconductor junction and inhibits the backflow of photogenerated carriers. Herein, novel pine dendritic Bi/BiOX (X = Cl, Br) nanoassemblies with multiple electron transfer channels have been successfully synthesized with the assistance of l-cysteine (l-Cys) through a one-step solvothermal method. Such a pine dendritic Bi/BiOBr photocatalyst shows excellent activity toward the degradation of many antibiotics such as tetracycline (TC), norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin. In particular, its photocatalytic degradation activity of TC is higher than those of reference spherical Bi/BiOBr, lamellar BiOBr, and BiOBr/Bi/BiOBr double-sided nanosheet arrays. Comprehensive characterizations demonstrate that the pine dendritic structure can construct multiple electron transfer channels from BiOBr to metallic Bi, resulting in an obviously promoted separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. The synthesis method that uses l-Cys to control the morphology provides a guidance to prepare special metal/semiconductor photocatalysts and would be helpful to design a highly efficient photocatalytic process.

Research Progress of Tungsten Oxide-Based Catalysts in Photocatalytic Reactions. Catalysts 2023.

Abstract
Photocatalysis technology is a potential solution to solve the problem of environmental pollution and energy shortage, but its wide application is limited by the low efficiency of solar energy conversion. As a non-toxic and inexpensive n-type semiconductor, WO3 can absorb approximately 12% of sunlight which is considered one of the most attractive photocatalytic candidates. However, the narrow light absorption range and the high recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes restrict the further development of WO3-based catalysts. Herein, the studies on preparation and modification methods such as doping element, regulating defects and constructing heterojunctions to enlarge the range of excitation light to the visible region and slow down the recombination of carriers on WO3-based catalysts so as to improve their photocatalytic performance are reviewed. The mechanism and application of WO3-based catalysts in the dissociation of water, the degradation of organic pollutants, as well as the hydrogen reduction of N2 and CO2 are emphatically investigated and discussed. It is clear that WO3-based catalysts will play a positive role in the field of future photocatalysis. This paper could also provide guidance for the rational design of other metallic oxide (MOx) catalysts for the increasing conversion efficiency of solar energy.

Abstract
Photocatalytic reduction of CO2 into valuable hydrocarbon fuels is one of the green ways to solve the energy problem and achieve carbon neutrality. Exploring photocatalyst with low toxicity and high-efficiency is the key to realize it. Here we report a lead-free halide perovskite-based 0D/2D Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi2WO6 (CBB/BWO) S-scheme heterojunction for CO2 photoreduction, prepared by a facile electrostatic self-assembly approach. The CBB/BWO shows superior photoreduction of CO2 under visible light with CO generation rate of 220.1 μmol·g-1·h-1, which is ∼115.8 and ∼18.5 times higher than that of Cs3Bi2Br9 perovskite quantum dots (CBB PQDS) and Bi2WO6 nanosheets (BWO NS), respectively. The improved photocatalytic activity can be attributed to the tight 0D/2D structure and S-scheme charge transfer pathway between the Cs3Bi2Br9 PQDS and atomic layers of the Bi2WO6 NS, which shortens transmission distance of photogenerated carriers and boosts efficient separation and transfer of the carriers. This work provides insight in manufacturing potential lead-free perovskite-based photocatalysts for achieving carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Given the global warming caused by excess CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere, it is essential to reduce CO2 by capturing and converting it to chemical feedstock using solar energy. Herein, a novel Cs3Bi2Br9/bismuth-based metal-organic framework (Bi-MOF) composite was prepared via an in situ growth strategy of Cs3Bi2Br9 quantum dots (QDs) on the surface of Bi-MOF nanosheets through coshared bismuth atoms. The prepared Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF exhibits bifunctional merits for both the high capture and effective conversion of CO2, among which the optimized 3Cs3Bi2Br9/Bi-MOF sample shows a CO2-CO conversion yield as high as 572.24 μmol g-1 h-1 under the irradiation of a 300 W Xe lamp. In addition, the composite shows good stability after five recycles in humid air, and the CO2 photoreduction efficiency does not decrease significantly. The mechanistic investigation uncovers that the intimate atomic-level contact between Cs3Bi2Br9 and Bi-MOF via the coshared atoms not only improves the dispersion of Cs3Bi2Br9 QDs over Bi-MOF nanosheets but also accelerates interfacial charge transfer by forming a strong bonding linkage, which endows it with the best performance of CO2 photoreduction. Our new finding of bismuth-based metal-organic framework/lead-free halide perovskite by cosharing atoms opens a new avenue for a novel preparation strategy of the heterojunction with atomic-level contact and potential applications in capture and photocatalytic conversion of CO2.

Abstract
Femtosecond transient absorption spectral (TAS) investigations were performed to understand the carrier relaxation mechanism for perovskite nanocrystals Cs1-xFAxPbBr3 (CF, x = 0.45) and CsPbBr3 (CS), which served as efficient photocatalysts for splitting of CO2 into CO and O2 in the absence of water. Upon light irradiation for 12 h, formation of deep trap states was found for both CS and CF samples with spectral characteristics of the TAS photobleach (PB) band showing a long spectral tail extending to the long wavelength region. The charge recombination rates at the shallow surface states, bulk states, and deep-trapped surface state were found to be significantly retarded for the CF sample than for the CS sample, in agreement with the photocatalytic performances for CO product yields of the CF catalyst being greater by a factor of 3 compared to those of the CS catalyst.

Abstract
Heterojunction construction, especially the inorganic/organic hybrids, is regarded as a universal and effective strategy to achieve high-performance photocatalysts. Herein, a 2D/2D inorganic/organic hybrid photocatalyst was constructed by the electrostatic self-assembly of the lead-free double-perovskite of Cs2AgBiBr6 nanosheets (NSs) and covalent triazine framework (CTF) NSs. The resultant Cs2AgBiBr6/CTF-1 (CABB/CTF-1) hybrid possessed a large surface-to-surface contact area, ensuring intimate interfacial interaction and efficient charge transfer/separation. Meanwhile, the periodical pore structure of CTF-1 endowed the CABB/CTF-1 hybrid with enhanced CO2 adsorption/activation capacity. Consequently, the 2D/2D CABB/CTF-1 hybrid exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic performance toward CO2 reduction. Based on the band structure analysis and various characterization techniques, for example, X-ray photoelectron spectra and electron spin resonance, an S-scheme charge transfer mechanism was proposed. This study presents a new protocol for designing 2D/2D inorganic/organic hybrid photocatalytic systems, which hold great potentials in solar fuel applications.

Abstract
We designed an S-heterojunction system with a perovskite nanocrystal, Cs1-xFAxPbBr3 (CF), coupled with a bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanosheet to form a perovskite heterojunction (PHJ) photocatalyst. On the basis of femtosecond transient absorption measurements, the pristine CF sample has two charge recombination periods, 100 and 900 ps, corresponding to surface and bulk trap-state relaxations, respectively. When CF was in contact with BiOI to form an S-heterojunction, rapid interfacial charge recombination occurred to show two decay components with time coefficients 1 and 35 ps, responsible for the electron-hole recombination in the surface and bulk states, respectively. We observed a new photoinduced absorption band on the blue side of the photobleach band of PHJ that gives relaxation more rapid than that of pristine CF, presumably due to doping of bismuth cations creating defect states to enhance the charge recombination that leads to photocatalytic performance for the PHJ catalyst poorer than for the pristine CF sample.

Abstract
The anthropogenic emission of CO2 in the environment affected our atmosphere, which caused a rapid change in the climate. It needs to reduce the excess CO2 from the environment to maintain sustainability and keep it green. In this work, we have fabricated a CdS decorated WO3 nanocomposite, improving the reduction ability of CO2 into CO and CH4 selectively in visible light. The construction of the heterojunction improved the stability of CdS with WO3. It synergistically resulted in ~7.7 times the higher yield of CO and 2.3 times the higher yield of CH4 than CdS using 20 wt% CdS decorated WO3 nanocomposite in a mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide, triethylamine, and water in a 3:1:1 ratio. The 20 wt% CdS on WO3 nanocomposite has proven an effective and selective photocatalyst with the relative yield of methanol up to four cycles. The nanocomposite photocatalysts were analyzed using instrumental techniques, such as XRD, XPS, HR-TEM, FTIR, TGA-DTA, UV-vis, PL spectroscopy, and PEC analysis.

Abstract
Developing novel two-dimensional photocatalysis is an excellent strategy for high-efficiency CO2 photoreduction. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate a facile hydrothermal synthesis method to construct ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets using tartaric acid as a complexing agent, which can restrain the speed of nucleation. The ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets exhibit excellent catalytic activity of CO and CH4 production (10.84 and 4.45 μmol g-1 h-1), which are up to 1.9 and 1.4 times higher than those of the bulk Bi4NbO8Cl, respectively. Photoelectric experiments and mechanism analysis systematically show that the as-obtained enhanced performance should be attributed to the formation of ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl nanosheets, and charge separation and migration are significantly boosted. Therefore, this ultrathin Bi4NbO8Cl structure has provided new insights into the controllable preparation of ultrathin nanosheet photocatalysts to effectively improve the catalytic performance.

Abstract
The rational design of a two-dimensional (2D)/2D "face-to-face" heterojunction photocatalyst is crucial for the mediation of interfacial charge transfer/separation. Herein, a unique 2D/2D step-scheme (S-scheme) photocatalyst of CsPbBr3/BiOCl is constructed by the self-assembly of CsPbBr3 and BiOCl nanosheets (NSs). Profiting from the effective interface contact and appropriate band structures between CsPbBr3 and BiOCl NSs, a valid S-scheme heterojunction of CsPbBr3/BiOCl is established. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations and a series of characterization techniques including X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), photoassisted Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM), and electron spin resonance (ESR) systematically corroborate the S-scheme charge-transfer mechanism between CsPbBr3 and BiOCl. The formation of an S-scheme heterojunction endows the photocatalyst with boosted charge separation and retainment of the highest redox ability. As a result, the obtained 2D/2D CsPbBr3/BiOCl S-scheme photocatalyst shows much superior CO2-reduction performance to single CsPbBr3 and BiOCl. This investigation provides new insights into the construction of novel S-scheme heterojunctions based on 2D/2D photocatalytic systems.
