Abstract
Energy shortage and global warming caused by the extensive use of fossil fuels are urgent problems to be solved at present. Photoreduction of CO2 is considered to be a feasible solution. The ternary composite catalyst g-C3 N4 /Ti3 C2 /MoSe2 was synthesized by hydrothermal method, and its physical and chemical properties were studied by an array of characterization and tests. In addition, the photocatalytic performance of this series of catalysts under full spectrum irradiation was also tested. It is found that the CTM-5 sample has the best photocatalytic activity, and the yields of CO and CH4 are 29.87 and 17.94 μmol g-1 h-1 , respectively. This can be ascribed to the favorable optical absorption performance of the composite catalyst in the full spectrum and the establishment of S-scheme charge transfer channel. The formation of heterojunctions can effectively promote charge transfer. The addition of Ti3 C2 materials provides plentiful active sites for CO2 reaction, and its superior electrical conductivity is also favorable for the migration of photogenerated electrons.

Abstract
Recently, there has been increasing interest in electrochemical printed sensors for a wide range of applications such as biomedical, pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental fields. A major challenge is to obtain selective, sensitive, and reliable sensing platforms that can meet the stringent performance requirements of these application areas. Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials advances have accelerated the performance of electrochemical sensors towards more practical approaches. This review discusses the recent development of electrochemical printed sensors, with emphasis on the integration of non-carbon 2D materials as sensing platforms. A brief introduction to printed electrochemical sensors and electrochemical technique analysis are presented in the first section of this review. Subsequently, sensor surface functionalization and modification techniques including drop-casting, electrodeposition, and printing of functional ink are discussed. In the next section, we review recent insights into novel fabrication methodologies, electrochemical techniques, and sensors' performances of the most used transition metal dichalcogenides materials (such as MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2), MXenes, and hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN). Finally, the challenges that are faced by electrochemical printed sensors are highlighted in the conclusion. This review is not only useful to provide insights for researchers that are currently working in the related area, but also instructive to the ones new to this field.

Abstract
Photocatalytic water splitting, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation have emerged as promising strategies to remedy the existing environmental and energy crises. However, grafting of expensive and less abundant noble-metal cocatalysts on photocatalyst materials is a mandatory practice to achieve enhanced photocatalytic performance owing to the ability of the cocatalysts to extract electrons efficiently from the photocatalyst and enable rapid/enhanced catalytic reaction. Hence, developing highly efficient, inexpensive, and noble-metal-free cocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements is considered as a noteworthy step toward considering photocatalysis as a more economical strategy. Recently, MXenes (two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides) have shown huge potential as alternatives for noble-metal cocatalysts. MXenes have several excellent properties, including atomically thin 2D morphology, metallic electrical conductivity, hydrophilic surface, and high specific surface area. In addition, they exhibit Gibbs free energy of intermediate H atom adsorption as close to zero and less than that of a commercial Pt-based cocatalyst, a Fermi level position above the H2 generation potential, and an excellent ability to capture and activate CO2 molecules. Therefore, there is a growing interest in MXene-based photocatalyst materials for various photocatalytic events. In this review, we focus on the recent advances in the synthesis of MXenes with 2D and 0D morphologies, the stability of MXenes, and MXene-based photocatalysts for H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and pollutant degradation. The existing challenges and the possible future directions to enhance the photocatalytic performance of MXene-based photocatalysts are also discussed.

Abstract
Water pollution arising from heavy metal ions continues to be a major environmental problem, which represents a serious threat to human beings and animals worldwide. New materials that can simultaneously detect and remove these toxic ions are urgently required. Herein, nitrogen and sulfur co-doped molybdenum selenide nanosheets (N, S-MoSe2) were prepared and found to be fluorescently responsive to mercury (II) with an improved adsorption capacity (208.33 mg g-1), thereby providing the possibility for the simultaneous detection and removal of mercury (II) in water samples. The great affinity was the result of the complexation of mercury (II) with Se and S atoms in N, S-MoSe2 as well as the electrostatic adsorption of cation mercury (II) on negatively charged N, S-MoSe2. Besides good sensitivity and selectivity toward mercury (II), N, S-MoSe2 displayed a relatively consistent performance under a wide pH range from 3 to 10. The removal efficiency reached 87.5% with fast adsorption kinetics, and N, S-MoSe2 could be reused after simple treatment. Thus, this work is expected to provide new material for the detection and removal of mercury (II) in an aqueous solution and offer an insight into the interaction between heavy metal ions and inorganic nanomaterials.

Abstract
Contamination of water with organic dyes is a major environmental concern as it causes serious life-threatening environmental problems. The present research was designed to evaluate the potential of three different natural inorganic clays (NICs) i.e., Pakistani bentonite clay (PB), bentonite purchased from Alfa Aesar (BT), and Turkish red mud (RM) for malachite green (MG) dye removal from an aqueous solution. Various analytical techniques, namely X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurement (BET), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), were used to investigate the physicochemical properties of the NICs samples. The effect of adsorption operational parameters such as contact time, aqueous phase pH, dye concentration, and amount of NICs on the adsorption behavior of MG onto NICs samples were investigated under the batch adsorption system. The equilibrium and kinetic inspection reflected the best description of MG adsorption behavior by the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-first-order kinetic model, respectively. The results indicated that the adsorption was favorable at higher pH. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated by Langmuir isotherm for PB, BT, and RM were found to be 243.90 mg/g, 188.68 mg/g, and 172.41 mg/g, respectively. It can be concluded that natural inorganic clays with a higher surface area can be used as an effective adsorbent material to remove the MG dye from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
In this paper, we are reporting a simple hydrothermal technique for preparation of MoSe2 nanostructures (nanourchins and nanosheets) using selenium and sodium molybdate as precursors. Samples are characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The FESEM revealed that the morphology of materials was varying significantly by changing pH value during synthesis. Photocatalytic degradation of anionic dye (MO), cationic dye (MB), and reduction of Cr(VI) into Cr(III) were performed. Nanosheets and nanourchins showed higher photocatalytic activity, enhanced photocatalytic degradation efficiency is correlated with the higher •OH radical concentration, crystallinity of material, and large surface area as evident through XPS, XRD, and BET, respectively. Photocatalysis mechanism along with role of reactive species (•OH and holes) were explained using trapping experiments. Identification of degraded products was carried out using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Reaction kinetics and reusability of materials were also studied; wherein, it was observed that the materials have reusable properties.

Abstract
Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is considered as one of the most effective cancer treatment strategies because of its minimally invasive and high efficiency. On account of the correlation between PDT and photocatalytic oxidation, the hollow MoSe2/Fe3O4 (MF-2) nanoheterostructure was constructed to enhance PDT as shown in this paper. The size and the hollow structure can be well controlled by the addition of F-127. MoSe2/Fe3O4 reveals the twofold reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in contrast to the pure MoSe2, which is ascribed to the effective separation of photogenic charges. The novel hollow structure also supplies a lot of cavities for perfluorocarbon (PFC) and O2 loading, and O2@PFC@MF-2 can effectively overcome the hypoxic microenvironment to further cause more than 3 times ROS production. Moreover, the narrow band gap and hollow structure also make sure that the strong near-infrared (NIR) light absorption and high photothermal conversion efficiency is as high as 66.2%. Furthermore, the combination of Fe3O4 can further accelerate the effective biodegradation capacity of MF-2 because of the repeated endogenous redox reaction to form water-soluble MoVI-oxide species. Meanwhile, doxorubicin (Dox, anticancer drug) was assembled onto the MF-2@PEG nanomaterials through π-π staking and electrostatic interaction for chemotherapy. O2@PFC@MF-2@PEG/Dox possesses the potential application in triple-model computed tomography, magnetic resonance, and infrared (CT/MR/IR) imaging-guided photothermal/photodynamic/chemotherapy (PTT/PDT/chemotherapy) nanodiagnosis platforms.

Abstract
The oxy-sulfide based V2O5@(In,Ga)2(O,S)3 nanocomposite catalyst, at different weight percentages of V2O5, was successfully synthesized via a simplistic procedural route for the detoxification of hazardous Cr(VI). The two pure catalysts were intimately allied and used for visible light-driven reduction of hazardous Cr(VI). The nanocomposite catalysts were characterized to observe the effects of V2O5 on crystal phase, morphology, light absorption, catalytic activity, and electrical properties. Compared to all, 40% V2O5 loaded nanocomposite catalyst, designated as VOS-2, exhibited the best-reducing capability. It completely reduced toxic Cr(VI) at 2 min under visible light illumination. From the kinetics, it was found that the rate constant of the nanocomposite catalyst was improved by a factor of 3.6 compared to the host nanoflower catalyst. The plausible mechanism of charge transfer process across the interfacial region indicates the diminished recombination probability of photogenerated charge carriers. Therefore, the nanocomposite catalyst is promising for enhanced reduction of Cr(VI) in the Cr-based industrial activities, which is significantly relevant for environmental remediation.

Abstract
The electronic conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of metal chalcogenides are normally enhanced by following the ideal strategies such as substitution/doping of heterogeneous atoms and hybridization of highly conductive carbon supportive materials. Here, a rare earth element (samarium) was substituted with MoSe2 using the simple hydrothermal method. The lattice distortion due to the substitution of Sm3+ with MoSe2 was clearly observed by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis. As a consequence, the prepared SmMoSe2 nanorod was encapsulated with graphene oxide (GO) sheets by using ultrasonication process. Furthermore, the GO-encapsulated SmMoSe2 nanocomposite modified glassy carbon electrode (GO@SmMoSe2/GCE) was used for the sensing of chloramphenicol. The results showed that the GO@SmMoSe2/GCE revealed the superior electrocatalytic activity with low detection (5 nM) and sensitivity (20.6 μA μM-1 cm-2) to electrochemical detection of proposed analyte. It indicates that the substitution of Sm3+ and encapsulation of GO significantly increased both the electrical conductivity and electrocatalytic activity of MoSe2.

Abstract
As an important member of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, MoSe2 has a wide range of photoelectrochemical properties. However, MoSe2 alone can not directly be used as photocatalyst for its poor performance owing to the strong recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. Here, we propose a novel C fibers@MoSe2 nanoplates core-shell composite, which was prepared by a facile, one-step thermal evaporation method. The composite has a remarkable feature of numerous MoSe2 thin nanoplates grown in-situ, densely and even vertically on the surface of the C fibers. Due to the effective separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs promoted by the prompt transfer of photogenerated electrons through C fibers, compared with commercially available pure MoSe2 powder, such composite exhibits greatly improved solar-driven photocatalytic activity and high stability for the degradation of various organic/inorganic environmental pollutants including methylene blue, rhodamine B, p-chlorophenol and K2Cr2O7 aqueous solutions, showing the great potential for environmental remediation by degrading toxic industrial chemicals in waste water using sunlight. Moreover, this one-step thermal evaporation is an easy-handling, eco-friendly and low-cost synthesis method, which is suitable for large-scale production.

Abstract
The data presented in this article are related to a research article entitled ‘Highly efficient solar-driven photocatalytic degradation on environmental pollutants over a novel C fibers@MoSe2 nanoplates core–shell composite’ (Wang et al., 2018) [1]. In this article, we report original data on the synthesis processes optimization of the proposed composite together with its formation mechanism. The report includes the composition, microstructure and morphology of the corresponding samples, and the photocatalytic activity and stability of the optimal composite. Compared with commercially available MoSe2 powder, the reaction rate constant of the optimal composite catalyst for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) under simulated sunlight irradiation (SSI) could be increased in a factor of about 14 and 8, respectively. The data are presented in this format to allow the comparison with those from other researchers in this field, and understanding the synthesis and photocatalysis mechanism of similar catalysts.
