[PMID: 39072097 PMCID: PMC11270717 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c09007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/30/2024]
Abstract
In this article, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanoparticles functionalized with Cu(II) g-C3N4-imine was exploited for aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes followed by condensation with indoles in the presence of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxy to present a one-pot tandem strategy for the synthesis of bis(indolyl)methanes (BIMs) under solvent-free conditions. The synergistic effect between the components to improve the photocatalytic activity of the as-prepared Cu-g-C3N4-imine/TiO2 nanoparticles resulting from electron-hole separation was approved by PL spectroscopy. Moreover, action spectra showed a light-dependent photocatalysis with effective visible-light responsivity of the photocatalyst. The present method includes different aspects of green chemistry: one-pot tandem synthesis of a variety of BIMs using alcohols that are less toxic, more available, more economical, and more stable than aldehydes; removing the byproducts resulting from overoxidation of alcohols and polymerization of aldehydes and indoles; the use of air as a safe oxidant; visible light as a safe energy source; and solvent-free conditions. A reusability test demonstrated that the catalyst retained its efficiency even after five runs.

Abstract
Low-dimensional materials serving as photocatalysts favor providing abundant unsaturated active sites and shortening the charge transport distance, but the high surface energy readily causes the aggregation that limits their application. Herein, it is demonstrated that 2D covalent organic framework (COF) TpBD nanosheets are effective in the dispersion and stabilization of 0D Ni(OH)2 . The COF precursor TpBD is synthesized from the Schiff base condensation of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and benzidine (BD) and exfoliated into 2D nanosheets named BDNs via ultrasonication. The formation of highly dispersive 0D Ni(OH)2 on BDNs is reached under a mild weak basic condition, enabling robust active sites for CO2 adsorption/activation and rapid interface cascaded electron transport channels for the accumulation of long-lived photo-generated charges. The champion catalyst 30%Ni-BDNs effectively catalyze the CO2 to CO conversion under visible-light irradiation, offering a high CO evolution rate of 158.4 mmol g-1 h-1 and turnover frequency of 51 h-1 . By contrast, the counterpart photocatalyst, the bulk TpBD stabilized Ni(OH)2 , affords a much lower CO evolution rate and selectivity. This work demonstrates a new avenue to simultaneously construct efficient active sites and electron transport channels by coupling 0D metal hydroxides and 2D COF nanosheets for CO2 photoreduction.

Designing of covalent organic framework/2D g-C 3N 4 heterostructure using a simple method for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 653:1650-1661.

Abstract
Designing heterostructure photocatalysts is a promising approach for developing highly efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen energy production. In this work, we synthesized a series of a covalent organic framework (COF)/g-C3N4 (CN) heterojunction photocatalysts, denoted as x % COF/CN (in which x indicates the weight % of COF and x = 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 90, 95, 100), for hydrogen production. The COF, which is a key component of the photocatalyst, was prepared by assembling benzothiadiazole (BT) and pyrene (Py) derivatives as building blocks. Integrating COF rods into the two-dimensional (2D) layered g-C3N4 structure significantly improved photocatalytic H2 production. The hybrid system (30 % COF/CN) displayed an outstanding hydrogen evolution rate (HER) of 27540 ± 805 μmol g-1h-1, outperforming most known COFs and g-C3N4-based photocatalysts, besides exhibiting stable photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the apparent quantum yield (AQY) was 15.5 ± 0.8 % at 420 nm. Experimental techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations demonstrated that the 30 % COF/CN heterostructure has broad visible-light absorption, adequate band energy levels, and the best chemical reactivity descriptors compared to the individual components, resulting in effective carrier separation and excellent performance. Our findings offer a valuable strategy for developing highly efficient and stable heterojunction photocatalysts for visible-light-driven H2 evolution.

Abstract
Reasonably designing and constructing efficient artificial S-mechanism photocatalysts, expanding their application in the field of photocatalytic organic synthesis, have become a hot and challenging topic in the photocatalysis. Herein, a series of coral-like W18O49@TpPa-H (TpPa-H represents COFs generated by the reaction of 1,3,5-triformylphloroglucinol (Tp) and p-phenylenediamine (Pa-H)) composites were successfully prepared by using a simple in-situ encapsulation strategy. Given the internal electric field at the S-scheme interface, W18O49 acts as an oxidative photocatalyst with sufficient positive valence band (VB) position and TpPa-H as a reductive one with enough negative conduction band (CB) position for the efficient amines oxidative coupling to imines. The resulting W18O49@TpPa-H-0.1 hybrid material shows both optimal benzylamine to imine conversion and selectivity exceeding 99 % within 4 h under 10 W 420 nm LED light irradiation, which is 9.9 and 2.8 fold greater than that of W18O49 and TpPa-H, respectively. The photocatalytic activity is even extended to 740 nm. Furthermore, the photocatalytic mechanism research confirmed that a high efficiency S-scheme heterojunction was formed between W18O49 and TpPa-H, and multiple active species, such as ·O2-, 1O2, and h+, synergistically participated in the reaction, imparting its excellent photocatalytic performance. This work may open new avenues for the development of high-efficiency COFs-based S-scheme heterojunction for organic photosynthesis.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are one type of porous organic materials linked by covalent bonds. COFs materials exhibit many outstanding characteristics such as high porosity, high chemical and thermal stability, large specific surface area, efficient electron transfer efficiency, and the ability for predesigned structures. These exceptional advantages enable COFs materials to exhibit remarkable performance in photocatalysis. Additionally, the activity of COFs materials as photocatalysts can be significantly upgraded by ion doping and the formation of heterojunctions. This paper summarizes the latest research progress on COF-based materials applied in photocatalytic systems. Initially, typical structures and preparation methods of COFs are analyzed and compared. Moreover, the essential principles of photocatalytic reactions over COFs-based materials and the latest research developments in photocatalytic hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, pollutants elimination, organic transformation, and overall water splitting are indicated. At last, the outlook and challenges of COF-based materials in photocatalysis are discussed. This review is intended to permit instructive guidance for the efficient use of photocatalysis based on COFs in the future.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is a promising and sustainable technology in the fields of energy conversion/storage and environment purification; however, the utilization of individual component as photocatalyst is generally restricted due to the low catalytic activity deriving from the rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons/holes. Covalent organic framework (COF)-semiconductor-based composite photocatalysts with synergistic effects provide a feasible route to achieve high-performance photocatalytic reactions with more active sites, strong light utilization ability, and high stability. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the rational design and preparation of the COF-semiconductors-based heterostructures for photocatalytic water splitting, carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction, and dye/pollutant degradation. In this Review, the synthetic strategies of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures are first introduced, which includes the rational design of the morphology, connection modes, and type of heterojunctions. The performance of COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures in different photocatalytic reactions are comprehensively reviewed. The structure-activity relationship and the synergistic effects within the heterostructures are discussed, and the photocatalytic mechanism and the role of COFs during the photocatalytic process are also presented. Finally, an outlook and challenges of realizing COF-semiconductor-based heterostructures with simple synthesis methods, diverse functions, high performance, and well-defined reaction mechanisms are provided.

Abstract
In this work, a protonated graphitic carbon nitride (P-g-C3N4)-coated graphene oxide (GO) composite (GO/P-g-C3N4) was prepared via wet-chemistry exfoliation, followed by a freeze-drying process. The GO/P-g-C3N4 composite was found to have an outstanding photodegradation performance effect on the reactive red 195 (RR195) dye and very strong antibacterial properties. Both the GO structure and the dispersed state of P-g-C3N4 were found to play a significant role in enhancing the photocatalytic activity of GO/P-g-C3N4. The GO/P-g-C3N4 obtained via freeze-drying retained a large number of oxygen-containing groups and showed higher catalytic activity and reusability than the reduced GO (rGO)/g-C3N4 obtained via thermal reduction. Characterization of the samples indicates that GO/P-g-C3N4 has a higher specific surface area and photocurrent density than rGO/g-C3N4; it is likely that these properties lead to the superior photocatalytic activity observed in GO/P-g-C3N4. Adsorption energy calculations indicate that O2 can be readily adsorbed onto the GO surface, which results in stronger oxidizing superoxide anion radicals (•O2-) and holes (h+); these active radicals can rapidly degrade RR195 dyes. Moreover, broad-spectrum antibacterial activity (demonstrated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) was observed in the case of the GO/P-g-C3N4 composite irradiated with visible light. This work offers new insights into the design of cost-effective g-C3N4-based photocatalysts for environmental remediation.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), a fascinating metal-free conjugated polymer, has garnered immense interest in the fields of solar power generation and environmental remediation. The construction of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites with materials of various dimensions can further improve their photocatalytic activities by surface area enlargement, bandgap tuning, heterojunction formation, etc. In this paper, we comprehensively reviewed the design, synthesis, and functionalities of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites based on their applications in hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutants removal. We provided detailed analyses on the integration of 2D g-C3N4 with zero-, one-, two-, and three-dimensional materials with a focus on their interfacial characteristics and functional improvement. This review aims to stimulate fresh ideas on the interfacial engineering of g-C3N4-based nanocomposites to broaden their future applications.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is an advanced technique that transforms solar energy into sustainable fuels and oxidizes pollutants via the aid of semiconductor photocatalysts. The main scientific and technological challenges for effective photocatalysis are the stability, robustness, and efficiency of semiconductor photocatalysts. For practical applications, researchers are trying to develop highly efficient and stable photocatalysts. Since the literature is highly scattered, it is urgent to write a critical review that summarizes the state-of-the-art progress in the design of a variety of semiconductor composite photocatalysts for energy and environmental applications. Herein, a comprehensive review is presented that summarizes an overview, history, mechanism, advantages, and challenges of semiconductor photocatalysis. Further, the recent advancements in the design of heterostructure photocatalysts including alloy quantum dots based composites, carbon based composites including carbon nanotubes, carbon quantum dots, graphitic carbon nitride, and graphene, covalent-organic frameworks based composites, metal based composites including metal carbides, metal halide perovskites, metal nitrides, metal oxides, metal phosphides, and metal sulfides, metal-organic frameworks based composites, plasmonic materials based composites and single atom based composites for CO2 conversion, H2 evolution, and pollutants oxidation are discussed elaborately. Finally, perspectives for further improvement in the design of composite materials for efficient photocatalysis are provided.

Abstract
On the basis of planar and relatively rigid nitrogen-rich heterocyclic system of the heptazine core, heptazine-based π-conjugated materials have aroused widespread attention over the past decade by virtue of the fascinating electronic, optical, thermal, and mechanical properties in the fields of light-emitting, photocatalysis, sensors, environmental remediation, and so forth. However, there are still several obstacles to be solved before practical applications, such as low photoluminescence quantum efficiencies for light-emitting and weak visible absorption for photocatalysis. To further enhance various properties of heptazine-based π-conjugated materials, a series of strategies have been developed, including ingenious molecular design and modification, novel synthetic, and preparation methods. In this review, the significant progress of monomeric and polymeric heptazine-based π-conjugated materials and their applications typically in light-emitting are reviewed, which is beneficial for the acceleration of practical applications of heptazine-based materials and devices.
