Abstract
The rapid recombination of photogenerated carriers and strong photocorrosion have considerably limited the practical application of CdS in the field of photocatalysis. Loading a cocatalyst has been widely utilized to largely enhance photocatalytic activity. In the present work, a WC@C cocatalyst was prepared by a novel molten salt method and explored as an efficient noble-metal-free cocatalyst to significantly enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of CdS nanorods. The WC@C/CdS composite photocatalyst with a 7 wt% content of WC@C showed the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 8.84 mmol g-1 h-1, which was about 21 and 31 times higher than those of CdS and 7 wt% Pt/CdS under visible light irradiation. A high apparent quantum efficiency (AQY) of 55.28% could be achieved under 420 nm monochromatic light. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of the 7 wt% WC@C/CdS photocatalyst exhibited good stability for 12 consecutive cycles of the photocatalytic experiment with a total reaction time of 42 h. The excellent photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst was attributed to the formation of a Schottky junction and the loading cocatalyst, which not only accelerated the separation of the photogenerated carrier but also provided a reactive site for hydrogen evolution. This work revealed that WC@C could act as an excellent cocatalyst for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of CdS nanorods.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation is essential for the successful removal of organic contaminants from wastewater, which is important for ecological and environmental safety. The advanced oxidation process of photocatalysis has become a hot topic in recent years for the remediation of water. Cadmium sulphide (CdS) nanostructures doped with Titanium oxide (CdS/TiO2) nanocomposites has manufactured under ambient conditions using a simple and modified Chemical Precipitation technique. The nanocomposites crystal structure, thermal stability, recombination of photo-generated charge carriers, bandgap, surface morphology, particle size, molar ratio, and charge transfer properties are determined. The production of nanocomposites (CdS-TiO2) and their efficient photocatalytic capabilities are observed. The goal of the experiment is to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of TiO2 in the visible region by doping CdS nanocomposites. The results showed that as-prepared CdS-TiO2 nanocomposites has exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity in the process of photocatalytic degradation of AB-29 dye, and its degradation efficiency is 84%. After 1 h 30 min of visible light irradiation, while CdS and TiO2 showed only 68% and 09%, respectively. The observed decolorization rate of AB-29 is also higher in the case of CdS-TiO2 photocatalyst ~ 5.8 × 10−4mol L−1 min−1) as compared to the reported decolorization rate of CdS ~ 4.5 × 10−4mol L−1 min−1 and TiO2 ~ 0.67 × 10−4mol L−1 min−1. This increased photocatalytic effectiveness of CdS-TiO2 has been accomplished by reduced charge carrier recombination as a result of improved charge separation and extension of TiO2 in response to visible light.

Abstract
In this work, the CdS quantum dots (QDs) decorated Bi2MoO6/Bi2Mo3O12 (BMO) heterojunction photocatalyst (C/BMO) has been successfully synthesized using a facile two-step hydrothermal method. The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, XPS, FESEM, TEM, UV-vis DRS, PL and photoelectrochemical measurements to investigate the effects of CdS(QDs) and BMO heterojunction on the structure, morphology, optical and charge carrier transmission characteristics of the photocatalysts. Narrow band gap and superior catalytic activities were found in C/BMO as compared with pure BMO. Moreover, the C/BMO photocatalyst containing twice CdS content (2-C/BMO) exhibits even higher photocatalytic activity and stability. After exposure to visible light for 30 min, the degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB), Methylene blue (MB) and Ofloxacin (OFX) by 2-C/BMO reached 95%, 92% and 76%, respectively. Radicals scavenging experiments and electron spin-resonance spectroscopy (ESR) investigations indicated that the superoxide radical anions (∙O2- ), hole (h+) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH) are the dominating active species in the photodegradation processes. ∙O2- and h+ are the key factors in the degradation of RhB and OFX solutions, and •OH is the major determinant in removal of MB. The process and photocatalytic mechanism on 2-C/BMO was discussed. Well absorption of visible light, effective separation of photoelectron-hole pairs and the transportation of photogenerated carriers at the interfaces of ternary semiconductor heterojunction are suggested as the key factors to enhance the photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have attracted increased interest and exhibited extended applications from nanotechnology to materials science, biomedicine, tissue engineering, as well as energy storage and environmental science. With the development of the synthesis and fabrication of 2D materials, a new family of 2D materials, metal carbides (MCs), revealed promising applications in recent years, and have been utilized for the fabrication of various functional 2D and three-dimensional (3D) nanomaterials for energy and environmental applications, ascribing to the unique physical and chemical properties of MCs. In this review, we present recent advance in the synthesis, fabrication, and applications of 2D and 3D MC-based nanomaterials. For this aim, we first summarize typical synthesis methods of MCs, and then demonstrate the progress on the fabrication of 2D and 3D MC-based nanomaterials. To the end, the applications of MC-based 2D and 3D materials for chemical batteries, supercapacitors, water splitting, photodegradation, removal of heavy metals, and electromagnetic shielding are introduced and discussed. This work provides useful information on the preparation, hybridization, structural tailoring, and applications of MC-based materials, and is expected to inspire the design and fabrication of novel and functional MXene materials with improved performance.

Abstract
Clean water and the increased use of renewable energy are considered to be two of the main goals in the effort to achieve a sustainable living environment. The fulfillment of these goals may include the use of solar-driven photocatalytic processes that are found to be quite effective in water purification, as well as hydrogen generation. H2 production by water splitting and photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water both rely on the formation of electron/hole (e-/h+) pairs at a semiconducting material upon its excitation by light with sufficient photon energy. Most of the photocatalytic studies involve the use of TiO2 and well-suited model compounds, either as sacrificial agents or pollutants. However, the wider application of this technology requires the harvesting of a broader spectrum of solar irradiation and the suppression of the recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. These limitations can be overcome by the use of different strategies, among which the focus is put on the creation of heterojunctions with another narrow bandgap semiconductor, which can provide high response in the visible light region. In this review paper, we report the most recent advances in the application of TiO2 based heterojunction (semiconductor-semiconductor) composites for photocatalytic water treatment and water splitting. This review article is subdivided into two major parts, namely Photocatalytic water treatment and Photocatalytic water splitting, to give a thorough examination of all achieved progress. The first part provides an overview on photocatalytic degradation mechanism principles, followed by the most recent applications for photocatalytic degradation and mineralization of contaminants of emerging concern (CEC), such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides with a critical insight into removal mechanism, while the second part focuses on fabrication of TiO2-based heterojunctions with carbon-based materials, transition metal oxides, transition metal chalcogenides, and multiple composites that were made of three or more semiconductor materials for photocatalytic water splitting.

Highly efficient charge transfer in CdS-covalent organic framework nanocomposites for stable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light. Sci Bull (Beijing) 2020; 65:113-122.

Abstract
A facile and effective impregnation combined with photo-deposition approach was adopted to deposit cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles on CTF-1, a covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTFs). In this system, CTF-1 not only acted as supporter but also served as photocatalyst and electron donor. The performance of the obtained CdS deposited CTF-1 (CdS-CTF-1) nanocomposite was evaluated by H2 evolution reaction under visible light irradiation. As a result, CdS-CTF-1 exhibited high H2 production from water, far surpassing the CdS/CTF-1 nanocomposite, in which CdS was deposited via solvothermal method. The high activity of CdS-CTF-1 was attributed to the confined CdS nanoparticles with small size, leading to expose more active sites. In addition, time-resolved spectroscopy indicated that the superior performance of CdS-CTF-1 also can be ascribed to the fast electron transfer rate and injection efficiency (KET = 0.18 × 109 s-1, ηinj = 39.38%) between CdS and CTF-1 layers, which are 3.83 times faster and 4.84 times higher than that of CdS/CTF-1 nanocomposite. This work represents the first example on using covalent organic frameworks (COFs) as a support and electron-donor for fabricating novel CdS-COF nanocomposite system and its potential application in solar energy transformations.

Abstract
Black Si-doped TiO2 (Ti–Si–O) nanotubes were fabricated through Zn metal reduction of the Ti–Si–O nanotubes on Ti–Si alloy in an argon atmosphere. The nanotubes were used as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Both Si element and Ti3+/oxygen vacancies were introduced into the black Ti–Si–O nanotubes, which improved optical absorption and facilitated the separation of the photogenerated electron–hole pairs. The photoconversion efficiency could reach 1.22%, which was 7.18 times the efficiency of undoped TiO2. It demonstrated that a Si element and Ti3+/oxygen vacancy co-doping strategy could offer an effective method for fabricating a high-performance TiO2-based nanostructure photoanode for improving PEC water splitting. Black Si-doped TiO2 (Ti–Si–O) nanotubes were fabricated through Zn metal reduction of the Ti–Si–O nanotubes on Ti–Si alloy in an argon atmosphere.![]()
