Abstract
The supramolecular assemblies of the donor-acceptor (D-A) system Im-Tpy, having phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole as the donor and terpyridyl group as the acceptor unit, have been developed, which serve as supramolecular host to stabilize Co(II) in its nanoform. The as-prepared supramolecular nanoensemble Im-Tpy@Co in DMSO:water (7:3) shows high thermal stability and photostability. Even in the case of solvent mismatch, i.e., on dilution with cosolvent THF/DMSO, insignificant changes were observed in the size/morphology of the nanoensemble. The as-prepared Im-Tpy@Co nanoensemble in low catalytic loading (0.1 mol % of Co) catalyzes the oxidation of a wide variety of alcohols to aromatic aldehydes/ketones using visible light radiations as the source of energy without the need of any additive at room temperature. In comparison to already reported systems, the Im-Tpy@Co nanoensemble exhibits high turnover numbers (TONs) and turnover frequencies (TOFs). The practical application of the catalytic system has also been demonstrated in the gram-scale synthesis of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde. The Im-Tpy@Co nanoensemble exhibits recyclability up to four catalytic cycles with insignificant leaching and morphological changes. The present study also demonstrates the catalytic activity of the Im-Tpy@Co nanoensemble in "one-pot" synthesis of quinazolin-4(3H)-ones from 2-aminobenzamide and primary alcohols with better efficiency in comparison to other transition-metal-based catalytic systems.

Abstract
Constructing heterogeneous nanostructures is an efficient strategy to improve the electrical and ionic conductivity of metal chalcogenide-based anodes. Herein, ZnS/SnO2 quantum dots (QDs) as p-n heterojunctions that are uniformly anchored to reduced graphene oxides (ZnS-SnO2 @rGO) are designed and engineered. Combining the merits of fast electron transport via the internal electric field and a greatly shortened Li/Na ion diffusion pathway in the ZnS/SnO2 QDs (3-5 nm), along with the excellent electrical conductivity and good structural stability provided by the rGO matrix, the ZnS-SnO2 @rGO anode exhibits enhanced electronic and ionic conductivity, which can be proved by both experiments and theoretical calculations. Consequently, the ZnS-SnO2 @rGO anode shows a significantly improved rate performance that simple counterpart composite anodes cannot achieve. Specifically, high reversible specific capacities are achieved for both lithium-ion battery (551 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 , 670 mA h g-1 at 3.0 A g-1 after 1400 cycles) and sodium-ion battery (334 mA h g-1 at 5.0 A g-1 , 313 mA h g-1 at 1.0 A g-1 after 400 cycles). Thus, this strategy to build semiconductor metal sulfides/metal oxide heterostructures at the atomic scale may inspire the rational design of metal compounds for high-performance battery applications.

Abstract
The effect of oxygen on the reduction of uranyl and photocorrosion of CdS remains a pressing issue when CdS is used as a photocatalyst for the removal of uranyl in uranium-containing wastewater. In this study, composites (CdS/PCN) were prepared by designing N-deficient g-C3N4 composite with CdS for efficient photocatalytic reduction of uranyl under aerobic condition. Meanwhile, a series of characterizations of the CdS/PCN composites were carried out by XRD, FT-IR, XPS, EDS and UV-vis. Surprisingly, the CdS/PCN not only showed very high photocatalytic reduction activity for uranyl under aerobic condition, but also the photocorrosion of CdS by oxygen and h+ was inhibited. With a starting uranium (VI) concentration of 20 ppm, the uranium (VI) removal efficiency could reach 97.33% (dark: 30 min, light: 10 min). Interestingly, the removal efficiency was better in air condition than in pure nitrogen or 30% oxygen atmosphere, i.e. a proper amount of oxygen has accelerated the reduction reaction, while excess oxygen weakened the reduction. Finally, a new mechanism of reduction of uranyl by CdS/PCN photocatalyst was given under aerobic condit ions. This work presents a novel strategy for reduction of U(VI) by photocatalysis and the inhibition of photocorrosion of photocatalysts under aerobic conditions.

Abstract
The development of new strategies to improve reaction efficiency and light utilization is one of the biggest challenges in photosynthetic chemistry. Dynamics control, particularly tuning the adsorption/desorption of reactants and products, is an ideal way to improve the conversion and selectivity in catalytic reactions, but it is rarely studied for photocatalytic organic synthesis. This study concerns the design of an amorphous FeOOH coating to decorate CdS photocatalyst to control the adsorption and desorption of reactants and products to improve reaction efficiency for the photocatalytic conversion of benzyl alcohol (BA) into benzaldehyde (BAD). The best conversion of the core-shell photocatalyst is 74.1 % in 2 h, together with >99.9 % selectivity to BAD, and the photocatalyst exhibits response above 600 nm, which is the longest active wavelength reported for the reaction. Further data illustrate that the amorphous FeOOH coating enables selective sorption of BA/BAD molecules by H-bonding interactions, which may result in the excellent performance. Construction of amorphous coating layers and understanding the selective permeability may provide a new strategy for the design of more efficient photocatalytic systems for organic synthesis.

Abstract
Electrochemically generated nanoporous tin oxide films have already been studied as photoanodes in photoelectrochemical water splitting systems. However, up to now, the most significant drawback of such materials was their relatively wide band gap (ca. 3.0 eV), which limits their effective performance in the UV light range. Therefore, here, we present for the first time an effective strategy for sensitization of porous anodic SnOx films with another narrow band gap semiconductor. Nanoporous tin oxide layers were obtained by simple one-step anodic oxidation of metallic Sn in 1 M NaOH followed by further surface decoration with CdS by the successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) method. It was found that the nanoporous morphology of as-anodized SnOx is still preserved after CdS deposition. Such SnOx/CdS photoanodes exhibited enhanced photoelectrochemical activity in the visible range compared to unmodified SnOx. However, the thermal treatment at 200 °C before the SILAR process was found to be a key factor responsible for the optimal photoresponse of the material.

S-Scheme BiOCl/MoSe 2 Heterostructure with Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity for Dyes and Antibiotics Degradation under Sunlight Irradiation. SENSORS 2022; 22:s22093344.

Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis is considered to be a promising technique to completely eliminate the organic pollutants in wastewater. Recently, S-scheme heterojunction photocatalysts have received much attention due to their high solar efficiency, superior transfer efficiency of charge carriers, and strong redox ability. Herein, we fabricated an S-scheme heterostructure BiOCl/MoSe2 by loading MoSe2 nanosheets on the surface of BiOCl microcrystals, using a solvothermal method. The microstructures, light absorption, and photoelectrochemical performances of the samples were characterized by the means of SEM, TEM, XRD, transient photocurrents, electrochemical impedance, and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The photocatalytic activities of BiOCl, MoSe2, and the BiOCl/MoSe2 samples with different MoSe2 contents were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and antibiotic sulfadiazine (SD) under simulated sunlight irradiation. It was found that BiOCl/MoSe2 displayed an evidently enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to single BiOCl and MoSe2, and 30 wt.% was an optimal loading amount for obtaining the highest photocatalytic activity. On the basis of radical trapping experiments and energy level analyses, it was deduced that BiOCl/MoSe2 follows an S-scheme charge transfer pathway and •O2−, •OH, and h+ all take part in the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Porous C3N4(PCN) is favored by researchers because it has more surface active sites, higher specific surface area and stronger light absorption ability than traditional g-C3N4. In this study, cerium dioxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) with mixed valence state of Ce3+and Ce4+were doped into the PCN framework by a two-step method. The results indicate that CeO2-NPs are highly dispersed in the PCN framework, which leads to a narrower band gap, a wider range of the light response and an improved the separation efficiency of photogenerated charge in PCN. Moreover, the specific surface area (145.69 m2g-1) of CeO2-NPs doped PCN is a 25.5% enhancement than that of PCN (116.13 m2g-1). In the experiment of photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol, CeO2-NPs doped porous C3N4exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity, especially Ce-PCN-30. The conversion rate of benzyl alcohol reaches 74.9% using Ce-PCN-30 as photocatalyst by 8 h of illumination, which is 25.7% higher than that of pure porous C3N4. Additionally, CeO2-NPs doped porous C3N4also exhibits better photocatalytic efficiency for other aromatic alcohols.

Abstract
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) have been widely investigated for various photocatalytic applications. However, the dual-functional reaction system integrated selective organic oxidation with H2 production over MHPs is rarely reported. Here, we demonstrate for the first time the selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols to aldehydes integrated with hydrogen (H2) evolution over Pt-decorated CsPbBr3. Especially, the functionalization of CsPbBr3 with graphene oxide (GO) further improves the photoactivity of the perovskite catalyst. The optimal amount of CsPbBr3/GO-Pt exhibits an H2 evolution rate of 1,060 μmol g−1 h−1 along with high selectivity (>99%) for benzyl aldehyde generation (1,050 μmol g−1 h−1) under visible light (λ > 400 nm), which is about five times higher than the CsPbBr3-Pt sample. The enhanced activity has been ascribed to two effects induced by the introduction of GO: 1) GO displays a structure-directing role, decreasing the particle size of CsPbBr3 and 2) GO and Pt act as electron reservoirs, extracting the photogenerated electrons and prohibiting the recombination of the electron–hole pairs. This study opens new avenues to utilize metal halide perovskites as dual-functional photocatalysts to perform selective organic transformations and solar fuel production.

Abstract
Designing efficient ternary nanostructures is a feasible approach for energy production under simulated solar irradiation. In this study, excellent photoexcited charge carrier separation and enhanced visible-light response were achieved with nitrogen-doped titania nanobelts (N-TNBs), whose 1D geometry facilitated the fabrication of a heterostructure with SnS2 on the surface of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4). We established the design of SnS2@N-TNB and SnS2@N-TNB/g-C3N4 heterostructures by in situ hydrothermal and ultrasonication processes, and achieved commendable simulated solar light driven photocatalytic H2 generation. UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy analysis revealed a red shift in the absorption spectra of the SnS2@N-TNB and SnS2@N-TNB/g-C3N4 samples. The H2 produced via SnS2@N-TNB-10/g-C3N4 (6730.8 µmol/g/h) was 2.6 times higher than that produced by SnS2@N-TNB (2515.1 µmol/g/h), and 299 times higher than that produced by N-TNB (22.5 µmol/g/h). The improved photocatalytic H2 production was attributed to the maximum interface contact between SnS2@N-TNB and g-C3N4, and to the improved visible-light absorption and effective charge-carrier separation. Therefore, the present study provides novel insights for combining the advantages of ternary materials to improve the conversion of solar energy to H2 fuel.

Abstract
Photocatalytic generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) is an attractive strategy to convert organic chemicals to high value-added products. However, the scarcity of suitable active sites in photocatalysts commonly leads to the poor adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules from a triplet state to a singlet state. Here, we report single atomic Cu-N3 sites on tubular g-C3N4 for the production of singlet oxygen. X-ray absorption fine spectroscopy, in combination with high-resolution electron microscopy techniques, determines the existence of atomically dispersed Cu sites with Cu-N3 coordination mode. The combined analysis of electron spin resonance and time-resolved optical spectra confirmed that a single atomic Cu-N3 structure facilitates a high concentration of 1O2 generation due to charge transport, electron-hole interaction, and exciton effect. Benefiting from the merits, a single atomic photocatalyst yields nearly 100% conversion and selectivity from thioanisole to sulfoxide within 2.5 h under visible light irradiation. This work deeply reveals the design and construction of catalysts with specific active sites, which are helpful to improve the activation efficiency of oxygen.

Abstract
Herein, g-C3N4/CdS hybrids with controllable CdS nanoparticles anchoring on g-C3N4 nanosheets were constructed. The effects of CdS nanoparticles on photocatalytic H2 production and organic molecule degradation for g-C3N4/CdS hybrids were investigated. The maximum rate of H2 production for g-C3N4/CdS sample was 1,070.9 μmol g−1 h−1, which was about four times higher than that of the individual g-C3N4 nanosheet sample. The enhanced photocatalytic performance for prepared hybrids could be mainly attributed to the following causes: the formed heterojunctions can contribute to the light absorption and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, the two-dimensional layered structure facilitates the transmission and transfer of electrons, and high specific surface area could provide more exposed active sites.

Abstract
The room temperature synthesis of an all-solid-state Z-scheme CuO-doped BiOBr (CuO-Bi-BiOBr) photocatalyst has been described. These CuO-Bi-BiOBr ternary heterojunctions exhibit efficient photocatalytic activities for selective alcohol oxidation. The structures, morphologies, and compositions of the nanostructures were well characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the as-synthesized nanostructures confirms the formation of phase-segregated CuO and BiOBr nanocrystals, whereas X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) analyses clearly indicate the formation of metallic bismuth nanoparticles (NPs). Next, the developed CuO-Bi-BiOBr ternary heterojunctions were applied as an efficient photocatalyst for the oxidation of alcohols into their corresponding aldehydes/ketones with high selectivity (>99%) and high conversion ratios (>99%). Herein, Bi metal NPs act as an electron mediator and bridge the connectivity between the two semiconductors, BiOBr and CuO, and, thus, a Z-scheme heterojunction is established. As expected, CuO-Bi-BiOBr has shown significantly superior activities compared to those of pure BiOBr. A possible mechanism for the photocatalytic oxidation process has been proposed. Radical scavenging experiments suggest that the active species, h+, ˙OH, e-, and ˙O2-, are dominant in the alcohol oxidation process. The as-synthesized CuO-Bi-BiOBr was reused several times without any significant deterioration in the original activities and it thus possesses relatively high stability for practical applications.

Abstract
The synthesis, structure, optical and photocatalytic studies of a family of compounds with the general formula, BiMXO5 ; M=Mg, Cd, Ni, Co, Pb, Ca and X=V, P is presented. The compounds were prepared by regular solid-state reaction of constituents in the temperature range of 720-810 °C for 24 h. The compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) methods. The Rietveld refinement of the PXRD patterns have been carried out to establish the structure. The optical absorption spectra along with the colors in daylight have been explained employing the allowed d-d transition. In addition, the observed colors of some of the V5+ containing compounds were explained using metal-to-metal charge transfer (MMCT) from the partially filled transition-metal 3d orbitals to the empty 3d orbitals of V5+ ions. The near IR (NIR) reflectivity studies indicate that many compounds exhibit good NIR reflectivity, suggesting that these compounds can be employed as 'cool pigments'. The experimentally determined band gaps of the prepared compounds were found to be suitable to exploit them for visible light activated photocatalysis. Photocatalytic C-C bond cleavage of alkenes and aerobic oxidation of alcohols were investigated employing visible light, which gave good yields and selectivity. The present study clearly demonstrated the versatility of the Paganoite family of compounds (BiMXO5 ) towards new colored inorganic materials, visible-light photocatalysts and 'cool pigments'.

Abstract
Solar energy utilization technologies have been widely explored to solve the global energy crisis because the inexhaustible solar energy can be converted into chemical fuel and electricity. Various semiconductors that are crucial for solar energy utilization have been extensively developed. Among them, cadmium sulfide (CdS) has attracted extensive attention due to its suitable band-gap and excellent electrical/optical properties. However, CdS is still limited by rapid charge recombination, instability and low quantum efficiency. Core-shell structures can provide great opportunities for constructing advanced structures with superior properties to overcome the remaining challenges. This review focuses on the significant advances in core-shell structured CdS nanocomposites for solar energy utilization. Initially, the synthetic methods to construct core-shell structured CdS nanocomposites are reviewed. Then the applications in solar energy utilization are discussed, including photocatalytic\photoelectrochemical water splitting, photocatalytic CO2 reduction and solar cells. Finally, the perspectives of core-shell structured CdS nanocomposites for solar energy utilization are proposed.

Abstract
Alcohol oxidation reactions are widely used for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones. The electrolysis of alcohols to carbonyl compounds have been underutilized owing to low efficiency. Herein, we report an electrochemical oxidation of various alcohols in a continuous-flow reactor without external oxidants, base or mediators. The robust electrochemical oxidation is performed for a variety of alcohols with good functional group tolerance, high efficiency and atom economy, whereas mechanistic studies support the benzylic radical intermediate formation and hydrogen evolution. The electrochemical oxidation proves viable on diols with excellent levels of selectivity for the benzylic position.

Abstract
Deliberate tuning of nanoparticles encapsulated with nanosheet shells can bring about fascinating photocatalytic properties because of the fast charge-transfer characteristics of a nanosized core-shell structure. Herein, a novel core-shell-structured Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite was fabricated through a one-step hydrothermal method. The core-shell Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite presented distinct optical absorption property, including UV, visible, and near-infrared (NIR) light regions. Compared to Bi2O4 and BiO2- x, the Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite revealed improved broad spectrum light-responsive molecular oxygen activation into •O2-, especially achieving •O2- generation under NIR light irradiation. The achievement that enhanced broad spectrum light-activated molecular oxygen activation could be ascribed to the faster electron transfer confirmed by the electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra, photoluminescence (PL) spectra, photoelectrochemical test, and quantitative analysis of •O2-. The strong interface effect of the Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Density functional theory calculated results suggested that the Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite revealed increased density of states near the Fermi level, suggesting that it possessed higher carrier mobility as compared to Bi2O4 and BiO2- x, contributing to the faster separation of photoinduced carriers and the generation of •O2-. Benefiting to the heterojunction, the Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite showed improved photocatalytic activity and anti-photocorrosion activity during rhodamine B (RhB) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) degradation with the irradiation of UV, visible, and NIR lights. Besides, the possible photocatalytic mechanism and transformation pathway of RhB and CIP degradation by the Bi2O4/BiO2- x composite were proposed by the analyses of the liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. This study furnishes a new strategy for fabricating high-efficient and broad spectrum light-driven heterojunction photocatalysts for environment purification.

Abstract
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) in photocatalysis oxidation reactions have been arousing great interest because of their unique properties. Zr-based MOFs (mainly 1,4-dicarboxybenzene MOF (UiO-66)) appear to be very attractive candidates. In this study, a Pd@UiO-66/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanocomposite was successfully prepared via a facile solvothermal method and was characterised by several techniques, including field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Subsequently, the as-obtained Pd@UiO-66/rGO composite was used as a photocatalyst for the selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde with O2 under visible light irradiation (>420nm); it exhibited superior photocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effect of coupling Pd nanoparticles (NPs) with UiO-66 and rGO. Importantly, the Pd@UiO-66/rGO composite showed high stability and considerable recyclability to preserve most of its initial photocatalytic activity after five cycles of the oxidation reaction.

Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes Containing Benzoxazole Derivatives and Different Ancillary Ligands for Catalytic Oxidation of Toluene. INORGANICS 2018.

Abstract
A series of cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes that have the general formula [(C^N)2Ir(NR)(X)] (C^N = monoanionic bidentate cyclometalating ligands; NR = pyridine derivatives; X = Cl− or I−) are designed, prepared, and applied for the transformation of toluene to benzaldehyde using a clean, highly efficient, and environmentally-friendly process. The activation energies that are needed for the catalytic oxidation of toluene when using these complexes as catalysts are quite low: between 22.9 and 30.8 kcal mol−1. The catalytic frequencies (TOF) are fairly high (up to 7.0 × 102 h−1) with excellent reliability, and the turnover number (TON) can reach 4.2 × 103 after 6 h of processing time. Catalytic tests, X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and kinetic modeling are used to derive detailed insights into the characteristics of the catalysts and their effects on the reactions that are featured in the catalytic oxidation of toluene.
