Abstract
Crystal defect is well-known to have a significant effect on the photocatalytic performance of semiconductors. Herein, defect-rich and -poor BaSn(OH)6 (BSOH-Sn and BSOH-Ba) photocatalysts were synthesized by exchanging the addition order of Ba and Sn. Results show that the defect-poor BSOH-Ba exhibited more efficient toluene degradation under ultraviolet (UV) light, which could attribute to the great suppression of photogenerated electron-hole (e--h+) pairs recombination by tuning the defect concentration. The low defect concentration in BSOH-Ba finally promotes the charge separation efficiency, the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the photocatalytic toluene degradation reactions. This work not only provides an effective way to inhibit the recombination of photogenerated carriers and improve the photocatalytic performance, but also promotes the understanding of defective perovskite-type hydroxide for more photoreactions.

Abstract
The current work focuses on the photo degradation of organic pollutants, particularly methylene blue (MB) dye, and the production of hydrogen as green energy using a composite of silver phosphate Ag3PO4 (AP) and barium oxide/silver phosphate BaO@Ag3PO4 (APB) as a photocatalyst. This composite was successfully synthesized using a chemical co-precipitation approach. The physicochemical properties of the obtained samples were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV–Vis/DRS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectrophotometry. From XRD, the average crystallite sizes of AP and APB are 39.1 and 46 nm, respectively, with a homogeneous morphology detected by SEM. UV and PL experiments showed that the compound is active under visible light, with an improvement in the lifetimes of the electrons and the holes in the presence of BaO with Ag3PO4. The as-synthesized APB photocatalyst sample showed a remarkably high degradation efficiency of MB (20 ppm, 50 mL) of around 94%, with a hydrogen production yield of around 7538 μmol/(h·g), after 120 min of illumination, which is greater than the degradation efficiency of the AP photocatalyst sample, which was about 88%. The high photodegradation efficiency was attributed to the electronic promotion effect of the BaO particles. The APB composite demonstrated an increased photocatalytic performance in effectively degrading an organic dye (MB) with no secondary pollutants when exposed to visible light irradiation.

Abstract
A new photocatalyst, Er2FeSbO7, was prepared by solid phase sintering using the high-temperature synthesis method for the first time in this paper. Er2FeSbO7/BiTiSbO6 heterojunction (EBH) catalyst was prepared by the solvent thermal method for the first time. Er2FeSbO7 compound crystallized in the pyrochlore-type architecture and cubelike crystal system; the interspace group of Er2FeSbO7 was Fd3m and the crystal cellular parameter a of Er2FeSbO7 was 10.179902 Å. The band gap (BDG) width of Er2FeSbO7 was 1.88 eV. After visible light irradiation of 150 minutes (VLGI-150min) with EBH as a photocatalyst, the removal rate (RR) of enrofloxacin (ENR) concentration was 99.16%, and the total organic carbon (TOC) concentration RR was 94.96%. The power mechanics invariable k toward ENR consistency and visible light irradiation (VLGI) time with EBH as a photocatalyzer attained 0.02296 min−1. The power mechanics invariable k which was involved with TOC attained 0.01535 min−1. The experimental results showed that the photocatalytic degradation (PCD) of ENR within pharmaceutical waste water with EBH as a photocatalyzer under VLGI was in keeping with the single-order reactivity power mechanics. The RR of ENR with EBH as a photocatalyzer was 1.151 times, 1.269 times or 2.524 times that with Er2FeSbO7 as a photocatalyst, BiTiSbO6 as a photocatalyst, or N-doping TiO2 (N-TO) as a photocatalyst after VLGI-150min. The photocatalytic activity, which ranged from high to low among above four photocatalysts, was as follows: EBHP > Er2FeSbO7 > BiTiSbO6 > N-TO. After VLGI-150min toward three periods of the project with EBH as a photocatalyst, the RR of ENR attained 98.00%, 96.76% and 95.60%. The results showed that the stability of EBH was very high. With appending trapping agent, it could be proved that the oxidative capability for degrading ENR, which ranged from strong to weak among three oxidic radicals, was as follows: superoxide anion > hydroxyl radicals (HRS) > holes. This work provides a scientific basis for the research and oriented leader development of efficient heterojunction catalysts.

Synthesis, Performance Measurement of Bi 2SmSbO 7/ZnBiYO 4 Heterojunction Photocatalyst and Photocatalytic Degradation of Direct Orange within Dye Wastewater under Visible Light Irradiation. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15113986. [PMID: 35683292 PMCID: PMC9182428 DOI: 10.3390/ma15113986] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2021] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Originally, the new catalyst Bi2SmSbO7 was synthesized by the hydrothermal synthesis method or by the solid-phase sintering method at a lofty temperature. A solvothermal method was utilized to prepare a Bi2SmSbO7/ZnBiYO4 heterojunction photocatalyst (BZHP). The crystal structure of Bi2SmSbO7 belonged to the pyrochlore structure and face-centered cubic crystal system by the space group of Fd3m. The cell parameter a was equivalent to 10.835(1) Å (Bi2SmSbO7). With Bi2SmSbO7/ZnBiYO4 heterojunction (BZH) as the photocatalyst, the removal rate (RR) of direct orange (DO) and the total organic carbon were 99.10% and 96.21% after visible light irradiation of 160 min (VLI-160M). The kinetic constant k toward DO concentration and visible light irradiation time (VLI) with BZH as photocatalyst reached 2.167 min−1. The kinetic constant k, which was concerned with total organic carbon, reached 0.047 min−1. The kinetic curve that came from DO degradation with BZH as a catalyst under VLI conformed to the second-order reaction kinetics. After VLI-160M, the photocatalytic degradation (PD) removal percentage of DO with BZH as the photocatalyst was 1.200 times, 1.268 times or 3.019 times that with Bi2SmSbO7 as the photocatalyst, ZnBiYO4 as the photocatalyst or with nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide as the photocatalyst. The photocatalytic activity (PA) was as following: BZH > Bi2SmSbO7 > ZnBiYO4 > nitrogen-doped titanium dioxide. After VLI-160M for three cycles of experiments with BZH as the photocatalyst, the RR of DO reached 98.03%, 96.73% and 95.43%, respectively, which meant that BZHP possessed high stability. By using the experiment of adding a trapping agent, the oxidative purifying capability for degradation of direct orange, which was in gradual depressed order, was as following: hydroxyl radical > superoxide anion > holes. Finally, the possible degradation pathway and degradation mechanism of DO were discussed systematically. A new high active heterojunction catalyst BZHP, which could efficiently remove toxic organic pollutants such as DO from dye wastewater after VLI, was obtained. Our research was meant to improve the photocatalytic property of the single photocatalyst.

Abstract
The Gd2YSbO7/ZnBiNbO5 heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized for the first time by the facile in situ precipitation method. The structural properties of a Gd2YSbO7/ZnBiNbO5 heterojunction photocatalyst were characterized by X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope-X ray energy dispersive spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectrograph and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer. The band gap energy (BGE) of Gd2YSbO7 or ZnBiNbO5 was found to be 2.396 eV or 2.696 eV, respectively. The photocatalytic property of Gd2YSbO7 or ZnBiNbO5 or Gd2YSbO7/ZnBiNbO5 heterojunction photocatalyst (GZHP) was reported. After a visible-light irradiation of 145 minutes (VLI-145 min), the removal rate (RER) of benzotriazole reached 99.05%, 82.45%, 78.23% or 47.30% with Gd2YSbO7/ZnBiNbO5 heterojunction (GZH), Gd2YSbO7, ZnBiNbO5 or N-doped TiO2 (NTO) as photocatalyst. In addition, the kinetic constant k, derived from the dynamic curve toward benzotriazole concentration and visible light irradiation time with GZH as a photocatalyst, reached 0.0213 min−1. Compared with Gd2YSbO7 or ZnBiNbO5 or NTO, GZHP showed maximal photocatalytic activity (PHA) for the photocatalytic degradation of benzotriazole under visible-light irradiation. The RER of total organic carbon during the photocatalytic degradation of benzotriazole reached 90.18%, 74.35%, 70.73% or 42.15% with GZH as a photocatalyst or with Gd2YSbO7, ZnBiNbO5 or NTO as a photocatalyst after VLI-145 min. Moreover, the kinetic constant k, which came from the dynamic curve toward total organic carbon concentration and visible light irradiation time with GZH as a photocatalyst, reached 0.0110 min−1. Based on above results, GZHP showed the maximal mineralization percentage ratio when GZHP degraded benzotriazole. The results showed that hydroxyl radicals was the main oxidation radical during the degradation of benzotriazole. The photocatalytic degradation of benzotriazole with GZH as a photocatalyst conformed to the first-order reaction kinetics. Our research aimed to improve the photocatalytic properties of the single photocatalyst.

Abstract
A new type of Gd2BiTaO7 nanocatalyst (GBT) was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-phase method, and a heterojunction photocatalyst, which was composed of GBT and silver phosphate (AP), was prepared by the facile in-situ precipitation method for the first time. The photocatalytic property of GBT or the Ag3PO4/Gd2BiTaO7 heterojunction photocatalyst (AGHP) was reported. The structural properties of GBT and AGHP were characterized by an X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope–X-ray energy dispersive spectra, an X-ray photoelectron spectrograph, a synchrotron-based ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscope, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, an UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrophotometer and an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer. The results displayed that GBT was well crystallized with a stable cubic crystal system and space group Fd3m. The lattice parameter or band gap energy of GBT was found to be a = 10.740051 Å or 2.35 eV, respectively. After visible light irradiation of 30 min, the removal rate of bisphenol A (BPA) reached 99.52%, 95.53% or 37.00% with AGHP as the photocatalyst, with Ag3PO4 and potassium persulfate (AP-PS) as photocatalysts or with N-doped TiO2 (NT) as a photocatalyst, respectively. According to the experimental data, it could be found that the removal rate of BPA with AGHP as a photocatalyst was 2.69 times higher than that with NT as a photocatalyst. AGHP showed higher photocatalytic activity for photocatalytic degradation of BPA under visible light irradiation compared with GBT or AP-PS or NT. The removal rate of total organic carbon (TOC) was 96.21%, 88.10% or 30.55% with AGHP as a photocatalyst, with AP-PS as photocatalysts or with NT as a photocatalyst after visible light irradiation of 30 min. The above results indicated that AGHP possessed the maximal mineralization percentage ratio during the process of degrading BPA compared with GBT or AP-PS or NT. The results indicated that the main oxidation radical was •OH during the process of degrading BPA. The photocatalytic degradation of BPA with AGHP as a photocatalyst conformed to the first-order reaction kinetics. This study provided inspiration for obtaining visible light-responsive heterojunction photocatalysts with high catalytic activity and efficient removal technologies for organic pollutants and toxic pollutants, and as a result, the potential practical applications of visible light-responsive heterojunction photocatalysts were widened. The subsequent research of thin-film plating of the heterojunction catalysts and the construction of complete photoluminescent thin-film catalytic reaction systems, which utilized visible light irradiation, could provide new technologies and perspectives for the pharmaceutical wastewater treatment industry.

Abstract
NiFe2O4 nanoparticles had been successfully synthesized by solution combustion method using urea fuel (organic precursor). The synthesized NiFe2O4 were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy-Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDs), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), and Point of Zero Charge (pHpzc). NiFe2O4 nanoparticles irradiated with visible light were employed to degrade Congo red dye with the following variable: solution pH (3–8), H2O2 concentration (0.5–3 mM), and Congo red concentration (100–600 mg/L). XRD analysis results showed that the NiFe2O4 nanoparticles had a cubic spinel structure. The particle sizes are in the range of 10–40 nm. The magnetic properties of NiFe2O4 nanoparticles determined using VSM showed a magnetization saturation value of 47.32 emu/g. UV-Vis DRS analysis indicated that NiFe2O4 nanoparticles had an optical band gap of 1.97 eV. The success of synthesis was also proven by the EDS analysis results, which showed that the synthesized NiFe2O4 nanoparticles composed of Ni, Fe, and O elements. The removal efficiency of Congo red dye was 96.80% at the following optimum conditions: solution pH of 5.0, H2O2 concentration of 2 mM, Congo red dye concentration of 100 mg/L, and contact time of 60 min. The study of the photodegradation kinetics follows a pseudo-first order reaction with a rate constant value of 0.0853 min−1. Copyright © 2021 by Authors, Published by BCREC Group.

Abstract
To fabricate an efficient, eco-friendly and stable photocatalyst, the current work describes a demonstration of simple synthesis approach of Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4(x wt%)/reduced graphene oxide composites. Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4 (5 wt%) revealed superior activity for decontamination of dye pollutant. Further, rGO was incorporated with Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4 (5 wt%) to investigate its effect on their overall properties. The resultant composites were characterized by various analytical techniques to confirm their structural and physical-chemical features. FESEM analysis showed that morphology of Ag3PO4 varied significantly from orthorhombic dodecahedrons to tripods and tetrapods with the combinations MnFe2O4 (5 wt%), and MnFe2O4 (5 wt%)+rGO respectively. The photocatalytic decontamination of toxic organic dyes tested against Rhodamine B(RhB) and 4-Nitrophenol. The outstanding performance for decontamination of RhB was observed for Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4(5 wt%)/rGO (~99% in 5 min) with the rate of k = 7.28 × 10-1 min-1. The enhanced activity of Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4(5 wt%)/rGO composites credited to co-catalytic effects of MnFe2O4 and physiochemical properties of rGO which leads to making intimate contact with Ag3PO4 to form heterojunction and rGO served as a medium for charge transfer to prevent their recombination. The incorporation of rGO in Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4 (5 wt%) composite leads to a considerable increase in the photocatalytic activity by offering improved surface area and properties, high electron stability and mobility. Based on experiment results, the photocatalytic enhancement mechanism for organic pollutants degradation was discussed. The recyclability of Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4(5 wt%)/rGO hierarchical composite was evaluated by replicated photocatalytic reaction trials. Overall, the morphological transformation of Ag3PO4/MnFe2O4(5 wt%)/rGO composites played a dynamic role in determining their photocatalytic activity towards the organic industrial dye pollutants.

Abstract
With the aim to develop an eco-friendly, efficient and stable photocatalyst, the present work reports the synthesis of Ag3PO4/LaCO3OH (AP/LC) heterojunction photocatalysts. Different weight ratios of AP/(x wt% LC) were tested to find the best composition for superior photocatalytic activity for dye pollutant degradation. AP/LC (20 wt%) revealed a superior photocatalytic activity. Hence it was selected for further analyses. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of distilled water: tetrahydrofuran (DW:TF) solvent system on the morphology as well as photocatalytic activities of AP/LC (20%) heterojunction. FESEM analysis shows that the morphology of AP/LC heterojunctions varied significantly with TF:DW ratio. Sphere-shaped like nanoparticles of LC transformed into nanowires to make intimate contact with AP polyhedras. The increase of TF with respect to DW results increase in the width of wire-like dimension of LC causes loose intimate contact within AP/LC heterojunction. The photocatalytic performance of AP/LC heterojunctions were tested against degradation of toxic phenol contaminant, and the outstanding photocatalytic activity was noticed for the AP/LC-2 photocatalyst (~99% degradation in 120 min) with a rate constant, k of 1.281 × 10-2 min-1. The improved photocatalytic performance can be attributed to the uniform decoration of LC nanowires on the AP microstructure which leads to intimate interface within the heterojunction and effective charge separation. The recyclability of the AP/LC-2 photocatalysts was evaluated via replicated photocatalytic reaction trials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iron oxide nanocomposites have received a great attention for their application in various fields like physics, medicine, biology, and material science etc., due to their unique properties, such as magnetism, electrical properties, small size, biocompatibility and low toxicity. METHODS Fe3O4/Ag3PO4@WO3 nanocomposites with different weight percent of Ag3PO4 were successfully prepared through fabricated Ag3PO4/Fe3O4 with WO3 via in situ fabrication method, electrospinning involved precursor solution preparation and spinning to enhance photocatalyst performance under simulated sunlight for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). RESULTS The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under simulated light irradiation indicated that the nanocomposite with 0.25 mg of Ag3PO4 has the best activity. An additional advantage of these photocatalysts is magnetic recoverability, using external magnetic field and photocatalytic stability of the nanocomposites was evaluated for three cycles. In addition, using different scavengers, holes (h+) and superoxide radical (O 2 ·-) radicals and hydroxide radical (·OH) were identified the main oxidative species in the degradation reaction of methylene blue. CONCLUSIONS The results reveal that Fe3O4/Ag3PO4@WO3-0.25 nanocomposites have photocatalytic and antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The photocatalyst and mechanism based on the enhancement of electron transfer processes between Ag3PO4 and WO3 nanoparticles.

Abstract
Effective visible-light-driven Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 Z-scheme magnetic composites were successfully fabricated by a simple ion-exchange deposition method. The Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity (degradation efficiency was ∼96% within 15 min and kinetic constant reached 0.1956 min-1) and stability when compared to Ag3PO4, NiFe2O4, and Ag3PO4/NiFe2O4 for rhodamine B (RhB) degradation. Furthermore, by electrochemical and fluorescence measurements, the Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) material also showed larger transient photocurrent, lower impedance, and longer fluorescence lifetime (7.82 ns). Comparing the activity result dependence with characterization results, it was indicated that photocatalytic activity depended on fast charge transfer from Ag3PO4 to NiFe2O4 through GO sheet. The h+ and ·O2 - species played important roles in RhB degradation under visible-light. A possible Z-scheme mechanism is proposed over the Ag3PO4/GO/NiFe2O4 (8%) composite. This study might provide a promising visible light responsive photocatalyst for the photocatalytic degradation of organic dyes in wastewater.

Abstract
Abstract
A series of magnetically recyclable NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites have been successfully fabricated by a facile two-step route. The as-prepared NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that the NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites are composed of ZnO particles (50–120 nm) integrated with NiFe2O4 particles (30–80 nm). Compared with bare ZnO, the NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites exhibit evidently enhanced visible light absorption and decreased recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. Moreover, the nanocomposites exhibit enhanced photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue under simulated solar light irradiation when compared with bare ZnO, and the 20%-NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposite is observed as the optimal composite. This is ascribed to the more efficient separation of photo-generated electron-hole pairs and generation of hydroxyl (˙OH) radicals in the 20%-NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposite. Furthermore, the NiFe2O4/ZnO nanocomposites have a high saturation magnetization, indicating that they can be magnetically separated and recycled from organic dye wastewater.
