Abstract
Functionalizing organic polymers is an effective strategy for enhancing their photocatalytic performance. However, this approach is currently limited by specific motifs, complex preparation methods, and an unclear electron transfer mechanism. Here, we present a meticulously designed structure of perylene diimide connected with poly (barbituric acid trimer) through self-assembled hydrogen bonding. In particular, the local chemical environment of the two components is adjusted by hydrogen bond-induced dipole-dipole interactions, leading to the emergence of a significant inherent electric field. Additionally, the formation of hydrogen bonds provides electronic pathways that facilitate charge transfer from perylene to adjacent units. Moreover, the distinctive electronic structure enhances polarity transfer and improves activation and adsorption capabilities for reactive molecules. Ultimately, B-PDI exhibits outstanding oxidation rates for benzylamine to N-benzylidene-benzylamine (10.03 mmol g-1h-1) and selectivity (>99.99 %). Our work offers a widely popular approach for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of organic semiconductor materials by constructing hydrogen bonds in heterogeneous molecules.

Abstract
Photocatalytic systems have attracted research interest as a clean approach to generate energy from abundant sunlight. In this context, developing efficient and robust photocatalytic structures is crucial. Recently, self-assembled organic chromophores have entered the stage as alternatives to both molecular systems and (in)organic semiconductors. Nanostructures made of self-assembled π-conjugated dyes offer, on the one hand, molecular customizability to tune their optoelectronic properties and activities and on the other hand, provide benefits from heterogeneous catalysis that include ease of separation, recyclability and improved photophysical properties. In this contribution, we present recent achievements in constructing supramolecular photocatalytic systems made of chromophores for applications in water splitting, H2O2 evolution, CO2 reduction, or environmental remediation. We discuss strategies that can be used to prepare ordered photocatalytic systems with an emphasis on the effect of packing between the dyes and the resulting photocatalytic activity. We further showcase supramolecular strategies that allow interfacing the organic nanostructures with co-catalysts, molecules, polymers, and (in)organic materials. The principles discussed here are the foundation for the utilization of these self-assembled materials in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Electrons not only serve as a "reactant" in redox reactions but also play a role in "catalyzing" some chemical processes. Despite the significance and ubiquitousness of electron-induced chemistry, many related scientific issues still await further exploration, among which is the impact of molecular assembly. In this work, microscopic insights into the vital role of molecular assembly in tweaking the electron-induced surface chemistry are unfolded by combined scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory studies. It is shown that the selective dissociation of a C-Cl bond in 4,4″-dichloro-1,1':3',1''-terphenyl (DCTP) on Cu(111) can be efficiently triggered by an electron injection via the STM tip into the unoccupied molecular orbital. The DCTP molecules are embedded in different assembly structures, including its self-assembly and coassemblies with Br adatoms. The energy threshold for the C-Cl bond cleavage increases as more Br adatoms stay close to the molecule, indicative of the sensitive response of the electron-induced surface reactivity of the C-Cl bond to the subtle change in the molecular assembly. Such a phenomenon is rationalized by the energy shift of the involved unoccupied molecular orbital of DCTP that is embedded in different assemblies. These findings shed new light on the tuning effect of molecular assembly on electron-induced reactions and introduce an efficient approach to precisely steer surface chemistry.

Abstract
Inorganic-organic hybrid materials are a kind of multiduty materials with high crystallinity and definite structures, built from functional inorganic and organic components with highly tunable photochemical properties. Perylenediimides (PDIs) are a kind of strong visible light-absorbing organic dyes with π-electron-deficient planes and photochemical properties depending on their micro-environment, which provides a platform for designing tunable and efficient hybrid photocatalytic materials. Herein, four radical-doped PDI-based crystalline hybrid materials, Cl4-PDI⋅SiW12O40 (1), Cl4-PDI⋅SiMo12O40 (2), Cl4-PDI⋅PW12O40 (3), and Cl4-PDI⋅PMo12O40 (4), were attained by slow diffusion of polyoxometalates (POMs) into acidified Cl4-PDI solutions. The obtained PDI-based crystalline hybrid materials not only exhibited prominent photochromism, but also possessed reactive organic radicals under ambient conditions. Furthermore, all hybrid materials could be easily photoreduced to their radical anions (Cl4-PDI⋅-), and then underwent a second photoexcitation to form energetic excited state radical anions (Cl4-PDI⋅-*). However, experiments and theoretical calculations demonstrated that the formed energetic Cl4-PDI⋅-* showed unusual POM-dependent photocatalytic efficiencies toward the oxidative coupling of amines and the iodoperfluoroalkylation of alkenes; higher photocatalytic efficiencies were found for hybrid materials 1 (anion: SiW12O40 4-) and 2 (anion: SiMo12O40 4-) compared to 3 (anion: PW12O40 3-) and 4 (anion: PMo12O40 3-). The photocatalytic efficiencies of these hybrid materials are mainly controlled by the energy differences between the SOMO-2 level of Cl4-PDI⋅-* and the LUMO level of the POMs. The structure-photocatalytic activity relationships established in present work provide new research directions to both the photocatalysis and hybrid material fields, and will promote the integration of these areas to explore new materials with interesting properties.

Abstract
Information encryption technologies are very important for security, health, commodity, and communications, etc. Novel information encryption mechanisms and materials are desired to achieve multimode and reprogrammable encryption. Here, a supramolecular strategy is demonstrated to achieve multimodal, erasable, reprogrammable, and reusable information encryption by reversibly modulating fluorescence. A butyl-naphthalimide with flexible ethylenediamine functionalized β-cyclodextrin (N-CD) is utilized as a fluorescent responsive ink for printing or patterning information on polymer brushes with dangling adamantane group grafted on responsive hydrogels. The photoluminescent naphthalimide moiety is bonded to β-CD and entrapped in the cavity. Its fluorescence is highly weakened in β-CD cavity and recovers after being expelled from the cavity by a competing guest molecule to emit bright green photoluminescence under UV. Experiments and theoretical calculations suggest π-π stacking and ICT as the primary mechanism for the naphthalimides assembly and fluorescence, which can be quenched through insertion of conjugated molecules and recover by removing the insert. Such reversible quenching and recovering are used to achieve repeated writing, erasing, and re-writing of information. Supramolecular recognition and hydrogel shape memory are further combined to achieve reversible dual-encryption. This study provides a novel strategy to develop smart materials with improved information security for broad applications.

Abstract
In this study, a photoelectrochemical (PEC) sensor based on perylene diimide derivatives (PDIs) was developed for the ultrasensitive quantification of dopamine (DA). PDIs were able to form self-assembled semiconductor nanostructures by strong π-π stacking, suitable for photoactive substances. Moreover, the shape of the PDI significantly affected the PEC properties of these nanostructures. The results showed that amino PDI with two-dimensional (2D) wrinkled layered nanostructures exhibited superior PEC properties relative to one-dimensional (1D) nanorods and fiber-based nanostructures (methyl and carboxyl PDIs). Based on these results, a mechanism for PEC sensor action was then proposed. The presence of 2D amino-PDI resulted in accelerated charge separation and transport. Furthermore, dopamine acted as effective electron donor to cause an increase in photocurrent. The as-obtained sensor was then used to detect small molecules like DA. A blue light optimized sensor at an applied potential of 0.7 V showed a detection limit of 1.67 nM with a wide linear range of 5 nM to 10 μM. On the other hand, the sensor presented acceptable reliability in determining DA in real samples. A recovery rate between 97.99 and 101.0% was obtained. Overall, controlling the morphology of semiconductors can influence PEC performance, which is a useful finding for the future development of PEC sensors.

Abstract
The fluorescent sensors allow sensitive detection of amine vapors for assessing the safety and quality of seafood products. However, high diffusion resistance and insufficient recognition sites usually limit the sensitivity of the sensors. Here, we employed an emulsion-confined assembly strategy to uniform encapsulate fluorescent molecules perylene diimide (PDI) molecules into covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to achieve ultrasensitive detection of amine vapors. The detection mechanism is based on the photoinduced electron transfer from amine to the excited PDI. This method exhibits a broad linear detection range from 8 ppb to 800 ppm and the limit of detection reaches as low as 1.2 ppb. The real-time detection of the amine vapors produced during shrimp spoilage is successfully achieved with excellent performance. This provides a versatile method for the on-demand synthesis of functional materials with high fluorescence properties for the development of chemical sensors via encapsulating different fluorescent molecules into COFs.

Abstract
Designing organic-inorganic hybrid semiconductors is an effective strategy for improving the performance of the photocatalyst under visible light irradiation. In this experiment, we firstly introduced Cu into perylenediimide supramolecules (PDIsm) to prepare the novel Cu-dopped PDIsm (CuPDIsm) with one-dimensional structure and then incorporated CuPDIsm with TiO2 to improve the photocatalytic performance. The introduction of Cu in PDIsm increases both the visible light adsorption and specific surface areas. Cu2+ coordination link between adjacent perylenediimide (PDI) moleculars and H-type π-π stacking of the aromatic core greatly accelerate the electron transfer in CuPDIsm system. Moreover, the photo-induced electrons generated by CuPDIsm migrate to TiO2 nanoparticles through hydrogen bond and electronic coupling at the TiO2/CuPDIsm heterojunction, which further accelerates the electron transfer and the separation efficiency of the charge carriers. So, the TiO2/CuPDIsm composites exhibit excellent photodegradation activity under visible light irradiation, reaching the maximum values of 89.87 and 97.26% toward tetracycline and methylene blue, respectively. This study provides new prospects for the development of metal-dopping organic systems and the construction of inorganic-organic heterojunctions, which can effectively enhance the electron transfer and improve the photocatalytic performance.

Abstract
Inorganic-organic donor-acceptor hybrid compounds are an emerging class of multifunctional crystalline materials with well-defined structures built from semiconductive inorganic and organic components. Perylenediimides (PDIs) are a prominent class of electron-deficient organic dyes, which can undergo consecutive photoinduced electron transfers to generate doublet excited-state radical anions for photoredox-inert chemical bonds. Thus, this is an excellent organic component for building hybrid materials to study the structure-property relationships in organic synthesis. In this context, three molecular structure modified PDI-based hybrid materials, (Me4-PDI)2·SiW12O40 (1), (Me4-Cl4-PDI)2·SiW12O40 (2), and (Me4-Br2-PDI)1.5·HSiW12O40 (3), were studied. By the introduction of different substituent groups at the bay positions, these three hybrid materials were successfully fabricated to investigate the impact of substituent groups on the photocatalytic activity. As expected, all PDI-based hybrid materials easily underwent consecutive photoexcitation to obtain their excited-state radical anions. However, experimental and theoretical analyses showed that these obtained excited-state radical anions displayed unusual bay-substituent-group-dependent photocatalytic conversion activities for the iodoperfluoroalkylation of alkenes and oxidative coupling of amines. Higher conversion yields were obtained for complexes 1 and 3 (bay-unsubstituted and Br-substituted PDI hybrid materials, respectively), and lower conversion was observed for complex 2 (Cl-substituted PDI hybrid material), which is attributed to the excited-state SOMO-1 energies of the PDI radical anions. The structure-property relationship established in this work provides insights for the further exploration of bay-substituted PDI hybrid materials in other small-molecule photocatalytic transformations.

A perylenediimide modified SiO 2@TiO 2 yolk-shell light-responsive nanozyme: Improved peroxidase-like activity for H 2O 2 and sarcosine sensing. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 436:129321. [PMID: 35739809 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Although light-responsive nanozyme have been widely used in colorimetric sensing, some limitations such as poor catalytic activity, low detection efficiency, and unclear structure-activity relationships remain unresolved. Herein, we prepared an excellent light-responsive peroxidase (POD) mimic, perylenediimide (PDI-OH) modified SiO2 @TiO2 yolk-shell spheres (SiO2 @TiO2/PDI-OH), based on DFT-assisted design. The experiment and DFT calculation revealed that the enhanced POD-like activity was mainly attributed to a suitable built-in electric field among adjacent PDI-OH molecules on the surface of the SiO2 @TiO2 and the unique yolk-shell structure with more reaction sites of SiO2 @TiO2. Consequently, the highly selective and ultrasensitive detection of H2O2 is achieved with a detection limit (LOD) of 7.6 × 10-8M. Further, the selective detection of sarcosine with LOD of 1.2 × 10-7 M was also achieved by introducing sarcosine oxidase (SOx). This colorimetric assay is successfully applied to selectively detect H2O2 and sarcosine levels in real samples. Controlled response time, anti-interference, and the robustness of the developed colorimetric sensor are the key advantages. And the present work firstly clarifies the effect of PDIs substituents on the POD-like activity of light-responsive nanozymes and provided new guidelines to develop high-performance nanozymes for hazardous substances detection.

Abstract
Polymer electrolytes (PEs) with excellent flexibility, processability, and good contact with lithium metal (Li°) anodes have attracted substantial attention in both academic and industrial settings. However, conventional poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based PEs suffer from a low lithium-ion transference number (TLi+), leading to a notorious concentration gradient and internal cell polarization. Here, we report two kinds of highly lithium-ion conductive and solvent-free PEs using the benzene-based lithium salts, lithium (benzenesulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiBTFSI) and lithium (2,4,6-triisopropylbenzenesulfonyl)(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTPBTFSI), which show significantly improved TLi+ and selective lithium-ion conductivity. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we pinpoint the strong π-π stacking interaction between pairs of benzene-based anions as the cause of this improvement. In addition, we show that Li°∥Li° and Li°∥LiFePO4 cells with the LiBTFSI/PEO electrolytes present enhanced cycling performance. By considering π-π stacking interactions as a new molecular-level design route of salts for electrolyte, this work provides an efficient and facile novel strategy for attaining highly selective lithium-ion conductive PEs.

Abstract
Highly efficient hydrogen evolution reactions carried out via photocatalysis using solar light remain a formidable challenge. Herein, perylenetetracarboxylic acid nanosheets with a monolayer thickness of ~1.5 nm were synthesized and shown to be active hydrogen evolution photocatalysts with production rates of 118.9 mmol g−1 h−1. The carboxyl groups increased the intensity of the internal electric fields of perylenetetracarboxylic acid from the perylene center to the carboxyl border by 10.3 times to promote charge-carrier separation. The photogenerated electrons and holes migrated to the edge and plane, respectively, to weaken charge-carrier recombination. Moreover, the perylenetetracarboxylic acid reduction potential increases from −0.47 V to −1.13 V due to the decreased molecular conjugation and enhances the reduction ability. In addition, the carboxyl groups created hydrophilic sites. This work provides a strategy to engineer the molecular structures of future efficient photocatalysts. While organic semiconductors provide a highly tailorable set of systems for solar-to-fuel conversion, such materials often show worse activities than inorganic materials. Here, authors prepare perylene-based nanosheets that demonstrate excellent performances for photocatalytic H2 evolution.

Abstract
Employing perylene diimide supermolecule (PDI) as metal-free cocatalyst, a novel PDI/g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 (PCB) photocatalyst was constructed for the effective degradation of antibiotics. Both the photocatalytic activity and photostability of g-C3N4/Bi2WO6 (gCB) were further improved after loading PDI. Under simulated sunlight illumination, the apparent rate constant of tetracycline (TC) degradation by PCB reached 2.6 times that of gCB. The photocatalytic activity of PCB still kept over 80% after 4 cycle experiments, while gCB only remained around 21%. The superior activity of PCB was ascribed to the synergism between the extended visible light absorption range through the participation of PDI cocatalyst and facilitated gCB-to-PDI photoelectron transfer. TC would finally be transformed into non-toxic ring opening products and mineralized. This work demonstrated that PDI was an excellent metal-free cocatalyst and exhibited great potential to boost the activity of photocatalysts.

Abstract
The chemical bond diversity and flexible reactivity of biomass-derived ethanol make it a vital feedstock for the production of value-added chemicals but result in low conversion selectivity. Herein, composite catalysts comprising SiO2-coated single- or multiparticle Au cores hybridized with TiO2 nanoparticles (mono- or multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2, respectively) were fabricated via electrostatic self-assembly. The C-H and O-H bonds of ethanol were selectively activated (by SiO2 and TiO2, respectively) under irradiation to form CH3CH•(OH) or CH3CH2O• radicals, respectively. The formation and depletion kinetics of these radicals was analyzed by electron spin resonance to reveal marked differences between mono- and multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2. Consequently, the selectivity of these catalysts for 1,1-diethoxyethane after 6 h irradiation was determined as 81 and 99%, respectively, which was attributed to the more pronounced effect of localized surface plasmon resonance for multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2. Notably, only acetaldehyde was formed on a Au/TiO2 catalyst without a SiO2 shell. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated that the C-H adsorption of ethanol was enhanced in the case of multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2, while NH3 temperature-programmed desorption and pyridine adsorption FTIR spectroscopy revealed that multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2 exhibited enhanced surface acidity. Collectively, the results of experimental and theoretical analyses indicated that the adsorption of acetaldehyde on multi-Au@SiO2/TiO2 was stronger than that on Au/TiO2, which resulted in the oxidative coupling of ethanol to afford 1,1-diethoxyethane on the former and the dehydrogenation of ethanol to acetaldehyde on the latter.

Abstract
Nonuniform Li deposition causes dendrites and low Coulombic efficiency (CE), seriously hindering the practical applications of Li metal. Herein, we developed an artificial solid-state interphase (SEI) with planar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on the surface of Li metal anodes by a facile in situ formation technology. The resultant dihydroxyviolanthron (DHV) layers serve as the protective layer to stabilize the SEI. In addition, the oxygen-containing functional groups in the soft and conformal SEI film can regulate the diffusion and transport of Li ions to homogenize the deposition of Li metal. The artificial SEI significantly improves the CEs and shows superior cyclability of over 1000 h at 4 mAh cm-2. The LiFePO4/Li cell (2.8 mAh cm-2) enables a long cyclability for 300 cycles and high CEs of 99.8%. This work offers a new strategy to inhibit Li dendrite growth and enlightens the design on stable SEI for metal anodes.

Abstract
To enhance the catalytic activity of the nanozymes for efficient wound healing infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria, photo-based motivations have been suggested, but attention is mainly focused on the external stimulus of near-infrared light, while the inexhaustible visible one is promising but lack of study. Herein, an efficient visible light-stimulated peroxidase-like nanozyme system, TiO2 nanotubes coated with MoS2 nanoflowers (TiO2 NTs@MoS2 ), is discovered for efficient bacterial treatment. Based on the synergetic effects between the two components, the bandgap of the TiO2 NTs can be narrowed from 3.2 to 2.97 eV due to the MoS2 loading, which extended the light response of TiO2 to visible-light range and enhanced the photocatalytic activity accordingly. Meanwhile, the peroxidase-like activity of MoS2 can be significantly enhanced due to the combination with TiO2 NTs in return. Especially, the peroxidase-like activity of the TiO2 NTs@MoS2 nanocomposite can be further improved under the sunlight irradiation, rendering much more hydroxyl radical (•OH) generation. Accordingly, the as-obtained TiO2 NTs@MoS2 shows an outstanding antibacterial effect against drug-resistance extended spectrum β-lactamases producing Escherichia coli and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus under the visible light. In vivo wound healing test further confirms the high antimicrobial efficiency and good biocompatibility of the synergistic antimicrobial system.

Abstract
Removal of pharmaceutical and personal care products from wastewater is very important in water treatment process. Combining photocatalysis with persulfate (PS) could be a good solvent for this problem. Novel perylene diimide derivative (EHPDI) was designed and synthesized. Furthermore, self-assembled EHPDI/TiO2 composite photocatalyst (EPT) was prepared and applied in activating persulfate (PS) under visible light to enhance the photodegradation of pollutants. The presence of the alkyl side chain 2-ethylhexyl optimizes the self-assembly process, enabling the composite material to achieve high performance under low EHPDI loading. Various methods were used to detect the physical and chemical characteristics of EPT. Carbamazepine (CBZ) was chosen to be the model pollutant to study the removal efficiency of EPT/PS system under visible light. Within 30 min, 5.0 mg/L CBZ could be almost completely degraded, and the removal ratio of TOC was 75.2% within 60 min. The SO4-, OH, O2-, 1O2, and h+ were proved to be involved in the removal of CBZ by EPR and quenching experiments. Then, other typical pollutants were degraded by this EPT/PS system, demonstrating this system is suitable for degrading different pollutants. Besides, the degradation paths of CBZ were proposed by HPLC/MS. Finally, the EPT showed excellent recyclability and stability.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 780:146483. [PMID: 33773344 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2021.146483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Environment pollution is getting serious and various poisonous contaminants with chemical durability, biotoxicity and bioaccumulation have been widespreadly discovered in municipal wastewaters and surface water. The detection and removal of pollutants show great significance for the protection of human health and other organisms. Due to its distinctive physical and chemical properties, perylene diimide (PDI) has received widespread attention from different research fields, especially in the area of environment. In this review, a comprehensive summary of the development of PDI-based materials in fluorescence detection and advanced oxidation technology for environment was introduced. Firstly, we chiefly presented the recent progress about the synthesis of PDI and PDI-based nanomaterials. Then, their application in fluorescence detection for environment was presented and categorized, principally including the detection of heavy metal ions, harmful anions and organic contaminants in the environment. In addition, the application of PDI and PDI-based materials in different advanced oxidation technologies for environment, such as photocatalysis, photoelectrocatalysis, Fenton and Fenton-like reaction and persulfate activation, was also summarized. At last, the challenges and future prospects of PDI-based materials in environmental applications were discussed. This review focuses on presenting the practical applications of PDI and PDI-based materials as fluorescent probes or catalysts (especially photocatalysts) in the detection of hazardous substances or catalytic elimination of organic contaminants. The contents are aimed at supplying the researchers with a deeper understanding of PDI and PDI-based materials and encouraging their further development in environmental applications.

Abstract
A full-spectrum (300-850 nm) responsive donor-acceptor (D-A) supramolecular photocatalyst tetraphenylporphinesulfonate/fullerene (TPPS/C60 ) is successfully constructed. The theoretical spectral efficiency of TPPS/C60 is as high as 70%, offering the possibility of full-solar-spectrum light harvesting. The TPPS/C60 performs a highly efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 276.55 µmol h-1 (34.57 mmol g-1 h-1 ), surpassing many reported organic photocatalysts. The D-A structure effectively promotes electron transfer from TPPS to C60 , which is beneficial to the photocatalytic reaction. Specifically, a giant internal electric field in the D-A structure is built via the enhanced molecular dipole, which dramatically promotes the charge separation (CS) efficiency by 2.35 times. Transient absorption spectra results show a long-lived CS state TPPS•+ -C60 •- in the D-A structure, which effectively promotes participation of photogenerated electrons in the reduction reaction. Briefly, this work provides a novel approach for designing high-performance photocatalytic materials via enhancing the interfacial electric field.

Abstract
A new broad-spectrum responsive organic-inorganic hybrid photocatalyst (PI@BWO) was successfully prepared by in-situ growing Bi2WO6 nanosheets onto the surface of π-π stacking perylene imide. The obtained PI@BWO hybrids with different composition exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for Bisphenol A (BPA) degradation. Among them, 30% PI@BWO exhibited optimal photocatalytic degradation efficiency, which is 2.6 and 3.9 times higher than that of pristine PI and BWO, respectively. Furthermore, PI@BWO also performed good stability and recyclability. Remarkably, the π-conjugation of PI facilitated the separation of charge carriers and improved the utilization of sunlight for PI@BWO. The introduction of BWO nanosheets also enhanced the adsorption capacity for contaminants and provided much more plentiful active sites, promoting the next photocatalytic reaction. Most importantly, PI@BWO could produce abundant reactive species (such as 1O2 and ·OH) via the charge carrier transfer and energy transfer dual transfer approach, therefore leading to stronger oxidation ability. The photocatalytic degradation mechanism and pathway of the PI@BWO hybrids were finally proposed. Overall, this present work might provide a new insight into the designing and preparation of efficient organic-inorganic hybrid photocatalysts for environmental-friendly removal of hazardous organic pollutants.

Abstract
A novel n-n type inorganic/organic heterojunction of flaky-like BiOCl/PDI photocatalyst was constructed by water bath heating method. Meanwhile, a simple method - secondary self-assembly was used to prepare the BiOCl/PDI with a special band structure. The photocatalytic activities were evaluated by degrading aqueous organic pollutants under visible light (λ > 420 nm). The removal rates of 5 mg L-1 phenol (non-ionic type), methyl orange (MO, anionic type), rhodamine B (RhB, cationic type) and 10 mg L-1 RhB by secondary self-assembly BiOCl/PDI (BiOCl/PDI-2) were 8.0%, 3.4%, 27.8% and 78.9% higher than self-assembly BiOCl/PDI (BiOCl/PDI-1) under visible light (λ > 420 nm). The better photocatalytic activity for BiOCl/PDI-2 was attributed to the optimization of energy-band structures, which arose from different exposed surfaces, narrower interplanar spacing and stronger visible light absorption performance. Under acidic condition, BiOCl/PDI-2 showed a good photocatalytic activity, which was not affected by neutral ionic intensity and had good recycling properties. Moreover, the photocatalytic mechanism was explored by free radical capture test and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and contribution of active species was calculated. The main active species of BiOCl/PDI-2 were ·O2-, 1O2 and h+. Our work may provide a route to design efficient inorganic/organic heterojunctions for organic pollutants degradation.

Abstract
Characterization of functional nanocrystalline materials in terms of quantitative determination of size, size dispersion, type, and extension of exposed facets still remains a challenging task. This is particularly the case of anisotropically shaped nanocrystals (NCs) like the TiO2 photocatalysts. Here, commercially available P25 and P90 titania nanopowders have been characterized by wide-angle X-ray total scattering techniques. Synchrotron data were modelled by the reciprocal space-based Debye scattering equation (DSE) method using atomistic models of NC populations (simultaneously carrying atomic and nanoscale structural features) for both anatase and rutile phases. Statistically robust descriptors are provided of size, morphology, and {101} vs. {001} facet area of truncated tetragonal bipyramids for anatase, jointly to polymorph quantification. The effects of using the proper NC shape on the X-ray diffraction pattern are analyzed in depth through DSE simulations by considering variable bipyramid aspect ratios (resulting in different {101} vs. {001} surface) and relative dispersion in a bivariate manner. We demonstrate that using prismatic NCs having equal volume and aspect ratio as bipyramids provides reasonably accurate sizes and {101} and {001} surface areas of the parent morphology.

Abstract
Three novel visible-light-driven composite photocatalysts: five-membered O-heterocyclic annulated perylene diimide doped TiO2 (PDI-1/TiO2), 1-phenol-N,N′-dicyclohexyl perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide doped TiO2 (PDI-2/TiO2), and N,N′-dicyclohexyl perylene diimide doped TiO2 (PDI-3/TiO2), were synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis method. The effects of introducing PDIs with different structures into TiO2 were evaluated by assaying the photodegradation rate of Methylene Blue (MB). The photoactivities of the PDI-1/TiO2 and PDI-2/TiO2 catalysts were better than that of PDI-3/TiO2. This is because the large surface area of PDI-1 nanorods and PDI-2 nanobelts extended the 1D charge carrier channel, which facilitated electron transfer to the TiO2 surface and improved the photocatalytic activity of the composites. The PDI-1/TiO2 composite showed the highest photoactivity, and the activity remained at 86.4% after four reuse cycles. The extended π–π stacking of self-assembled PDI-1 and the strong interactions between self-assembled PDI-1 and TiO2 played significant roles in accelerating charge transfer and decreasing recombination of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The steric hindrance of the phenoxy substituent at the bay position of PDI-2 prevented the PDI-2 nucleus from contacting TiO2 and weakened the interaction between PDI-2 and TiO2, which further resulted in the low photoactivity of PDI-2/TiO2. This work provides a practical way to improve the performances of traditional organic and inorganic composite photocatalysts. Three novel visible-light-driven composite photocatalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The effects of introducing PDIs with different structures into TiO2 were evaluated by assaying the photodegradation rate of methylene blue.![]()

Abstract
A semi-core-shell structure of perylene diimide (PDI) self-assembly coated with TiO2 nanoparticles is constructed, in which nanoscale porous TiO2 shell is formed and PDI self-assembly presented 1D structure. A full-spectrum photocatalyst is obtained using this structure to resolve a conundrum-TiO2 does not exhibit visible-light photocatalytic activity while PDI does not exhibit ultraviolet photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the synergistic interaction between TiO2 and PDI enables the catalyst to improve its ultraviolet, visible-light, and full-spectrum performance. The interaction between TiO2 and PDI leads to formation of some new stacking states along the Π-Π stacking direction and, as a consequence, electron transfer from PDI to TiO2 suppresses the recombination of e- /h+ and thus improves photocatalytic performance. But the stronger interaction in the interface between TiO2 and PDI is not in favor of photocatalytic performance, which leads to rapid charge recombination due to more disordered stacking states. The study provides a theoretical direction for the study of core-shell structures with soft materials as a core, and an idea for efficient utilization of solar energy.

Abstract
Herein, a carbon membrane and Au nanoparticles were combined to improve the efficiency of photoelectrocatalytic water splitting over a TiO2 nanotube arrays film (TiO2 NTAF). Two different ternary nanostructures were constructed by hydrothermal and photochemical deposition processes. One was carbon membrane bridged Au nanoparticles and TiO2 nanotube arrays (Au/C/TiO2 NTAF), while the other was Au nanoparticles sandwiched between carbon membrane and TiO2 nanotube arrays (C/Au/TiO2 NTAF). The two structures exhibited enhanced visible light harvesting ability, but they showed distinctly different photoelectric properties. The unique microstructure of C/Au/TiO2 NTAF resulted in a much higher reduction of the electron cloud density of Au nanoparticles as carrier recombination centers, which were responsible for its poor photoelectrochemical performance. However, a champion photocurrent of Au/C/TiO2 NTAF was observed (0.984 mA cm-2), indicating superior ability of the photoelectrocatalytic water splitting. The great enhancement was attributed to multiple carriers transport paths, which can efficiently utilize the sensitization of the carbon membrane and the surface plasmon resonance effect of the Au nanoparticles.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) reflects the excited-state properties of the chiral system. However, compared to the singlet and triplet excited states, there are still many unknowns about CPL from the double excited state. Here, using the self-assembly strategy of a dipeptide substituted naphthalenediimide (NDI-GE) and the photogenerated radical anions, we have explored the ground-state (CD) and excited-state (CPL) chiral characteristics of neutral NDI and NDI•- radical anion assemblies. The neutral gelator assemblies showed CPL with the dissymmetry factor glum on the order of 10-3; the radical anion exhibited an inversed CPL signal with a significantly enhanced glum of 10-1. Time-dependent density functional theory calculation revealed that upon formation of the radical anions, the direction of the dipole moment changed, thus leading to the inversion of CD and CPL. The present work reveals a new platform for developing CPL materials based on the doublet excited state.

Enhancement of the degradation ability for organic pollutants via the synergistic effect of photoelectrocatalysis on a self-assembled perylene diimide (SA-PDI) thin film.

Abstract
A self-assembled perylene diimide (SA-PDI) film was prepared on an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) substrate and acted as a photoanode for the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of some emerging contaminants under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) and applied voltage. Due to the synergistic effect, the photocatalytic degradation rate by the SA-PDI film under visible light irradiation and an applied voltage of 2.1 V was 2.72 times and 14.5 times those of the PC and EC processes, respectively. The visible light irradiation not only generated a promoting effect on electrocatalytic (EC) oxidation at potentials above 1.2 V but also generated many more h+ for promoting the electrocatalytic oxidation of phenol. Furthermore, an applied voltage above 1.2 V could effectively improve the separation rate of electrons from the SA-PDI electrodes to the Pt electrodes, and then, much more O2- and OH could be generated for improving the photocatalytic (PC) oxidation efficiency. Therefore, the h+, OH and O2- could improve the synergistic effect of phenol oxidation during the PEC process. Moreover, the SA-PDI film appeared to have satisfactory stability in the PEC process. The SA-PDI film was also proven to be effective for two other contaminants, namely, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
This study describes a promising sunlight-driven photocatalyst for the treatment of ofloxacin and other fluoroquinolone antibiotics in water and wastewater. Perylene diimide (PDI) supramolecular nanofibers, which absorb a broad spectrum of sunlight, were prepared via a facile acidification polymerization protocol. Under natural sunlight, the PDI photocatalysts achieved rapid treatment of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ofloxacin. The fastest degradation was observed for ofloxacin, which had a half-life of 2.08 min for the investigated conditions. Various light sources emitting in the UV-vis spectrum were tested, and blue light was found to exhibit the fastest ofloxacin transformation kinetics due to the strong absorption by the PDI catalyst. Reactive species, namely, h+, 1O2, and O2•-, comprised the primary photocatalytic mechanisms for ofloxacin degradation. Frontier electron density calculations and mass spectrometry were used to verify the major degradation pathways of ofloxacin by the PDI-sunlight photocatalytic system and identify the transformation products of ofloxacin, respectively. Degradation mainly occurred through demethylation at the piperazine ring, ketone formation at the morpholine moiety, and aldehyde reaction at the piperazinyl group. An overall mechanism was proposed for ofloxacin degradation in the PDI-sunlight photocatalytic system, and the effects of water quality constituents were examined to determine performance in real water/wastewater systems. Ultimately, the aggregate results from this study highlight the suitability of the PDI-sunlight photocatalytic system to treat antibiotics in real water and wastewater systems.

Abstract
Metal-free g-C3N4 is a promising candidate for the next-generation visible light-responsive photocatalyst; however, high recombination probability of the photogenerated charge carriers on g-C3N4 limits its photocatalytic activity. To further increase the intrinsic photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4, here, perylene tetracarboxylic diimide-g-C3N4 (PDI/GCN) heterojunctions are prepared by one-step imidization reaction between perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and g-C3N4 in aqueous solution. By the combination of various testing results, it is confirmed that the surface hybridization of PTCDA and g-C3N4 in the PDI/GCN heterojunctions via O═C-N-C═O covalent bonds occurs at lower PTCDA-to-g-C3N4 weight percentage. By selecting p-nitrophenol (PNP) and levofloxacin (LEV) as the target organic pollutants, the visible-light photocatalytic performance of the PDI/GCN heterojunctions is studied. It shows that the PDI/GCN heterojunction prepared at a PTCDA-to-g-C3N4 weight percentage of 1% exhibits remarkably higher visible-light photocatalytic degradation and mineralization ability toward aqueous target pollutants as compared with g-C3N4 and Degussa P25 TiO2. On the basis of the experimental results including photoelectrochemistry, indirect chemical probe, and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, it is verified that the surface hybridization in the heterojunctions is responsible for this enhanced photocatalytic activity via accelerating the migration and separation of the photogenerated charge carriers, causing to produce more active species like •O2-, hVB+, and •OH for deep oxidation of PNP or LEV to CO2 and inorganic anions.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots were successfully doped into anatase TiO2 single crystal nanosheets (TNS) with exposed {001} and {101} reactive facets by a facile solvothermal process. SEM and TEM confirmed the as-prepared TiO2 nanosheet structure and that the dominant exposed face is the {001} facet, and the loaded N-CDs are nearly spherical with an average size of about 3 nm. XPS results confirmed that the deposited N-CDs were chemically integrated into the TiO2 nanosheets. UV-vis DRS spectroscopy shows that with the dotting of N-CDs, the absorption edge of N-CDs/TNS has been extended into the visible light region. The ability of the N-CDs/TNS to degrade Rhodamine B (RhB) in aqueous solution under visible light irradiation (λ ≥ 400 nm) was investigated. The results show that the photocatalytic performance of N-CDs/TNS was substantially improved relative to pure TNS. The photodegradation efficiency reached its maximum value with 6 mL of N-CDs/TNS, showing a 9.3-fold improvement in photocatalytic activity over TNS. Fluorescence spectroscopy (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were conducted to characterize the active species during the degradation period, based on which the possible photodegradation mechanism of N-CDs/TNS by visible light irradiation was given. Carbon quantum dots were doped into anatase TiO2 single crystal nanosheets (TNS) with highly exposed {001} and {101} reactive facets by a facile solvothermal process.![]()

Abstract
Vacancy control can significantly enhance the performance of photocatalytic semiconductors for water purification. However, little is known about the mechanisms and approaches that could generate stable large vacancies. Here, we report a new mechanism to induce vacancy formation on nanocrystals for enhanced photocatalytic activity: the introduction of mesopores. We synthesized two nanosheet-assembled hierarchical 3D BiOCl mesoporous nanostructures with similar morphology and exposed facets but different nanosheet thickness. Positron annihilation analysis detected unprecedentedly large VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ vacancy associates (as well as VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴) on BiOCl assembled from 3-6 nm nanosheets but only VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ vacancy associates on BiOCl assembled from thicker (10-20 nm) nanosheets. Comparison of vacancy properties with 2D ultrathin 2.7 nm nanosheets (with VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ and VBi‴) indicates that nanosheet thinness alone cannot explain the formation of such large atom vacancies. On the basis of density functional theory computations of formation energy of isolated Bi vacancy, we show that mesopores facilitate the formation of large vacancies to counterbalance thermodynamic instability caused by incompletely coordinated Bi and O atoms along the mesopore perimeters. We corroborate that the extraordinarily large VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ VO•• VBi‴ vacancy associates facilitate photoexcitation of electrons and prevent the recombination of electron-hole pairs, which significantly enhances photocatalytic activity. This is demonstrated by the rapid mineralization of bisphenol A (10-5 M) with low photocatalyst loading (1 g L-1), as well as enhanced bacterial disinfection. Improved electron-hole separation is also corroborated by enhanced photocatalytic reduction of nitrate.

Abstract
Photocatalytic bond activations are generally limited by the photon energy and the efficiency of energy and electron transfer processes. Direct two-photon processes provide sufficient energy but the ultra-short lifetimes of the excited states prohibit chemical reactions. The commercial dye 9,10-dicyanoanthracene enabled photocatalytic aromatic substitutions of non-activated aryl halides. This reaction operates under VIS-irradiation via sequential photonic, electronic, and photonic activation of the simple organic dye. The resultant highly reducing excited photocatalyst anion readily effected C-H, C-C, C-P, C-S, and C-B bond formations. Detailed synthetic, spectroscopic, and theoretical studies support a biphotonic catalytic mechanism.
