Abstract
2D materials with their fascinating physiochemical, structural, and electronic properties have attracted researchers and have been used for a variety of applications such as electrocatalysis, photocatalysis, energy storage, magnetoresistance, and sensing. In recent times, 2D materials have gained great momentum in the spectrum of photocatalytic applications such as pollutant degradation, water splitting, CO2 reduction, NH3 production, microbial disinfection, and heavy metal reduction, thanks to their superior properties including visible light responsive band gap, improved charge separation and electron mobility, suppressed charge recombination and high surface reactive sites, and thus enhance the photocatalytic properties rationally as compared to 3D and other low-dimensional materials. In this context, this review spot-lights the family of various 2D materials, their properties and their 2D structure-induced photocatalytic mechanisms while giving an overview on their synthesis methods along with a detailed discussion on their diverse photocatalytic applications. Furthermore, the challenges and the future opportunities are also presented related to the future developments and advancements of 2D materials for the large-scale real-time photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
Development and the application of Sn-based materials have become more prevalent in recent years due to concerns regarding the energy crisis, environmental pollution, and the urgent need of constructing inexpensive and highly effective photocatalysis. The recent advancement in Sn-based materials for efficient photocatalysts, such as Sn alloys, Sn oxides, Sn sulfides, Sn selenides, Sn niobates, Sn tantalites, and Sn tungstates, is summarized in this study. Several design ideas for increasing the photoactivity of Sn-based materials in various photocatalytic applications are emphasized. In addition, we considered their present applications in energy generation (H2 evolution, CO2 reduction, and N2 fixation) and environmental remediation (air purification and wastewater treatment). As a result, the current review will deepen the reader's understanding of the properties and potential uses of Sn-based materials in photocatalysis. Hence, this paper will serve as a guide in promoting the domain of Sn-based materials for future photocatalytic technologies.

Abstract
Niobium-based oxides have attracted a lot of attention as anode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) due to their high theoretical specific capacity, excellent rate capability and exceptional safety. However, their poor intrinsic electronic conductivity and sluggish sodium ions diffusion kinetics severely hinder their practical applicability. Here, SnNb 2 O 6 @C was successfully prepared by a simple solid-state reaction technique coupled with carbon coating. HRTEM images show that the SnNb 2 O 6 @C particles are covered by a uniformly ultrathin amorphous carbon layer of about 1.8 nm, thus improving the electronic conductivity and diffusion coefficient of sodium ions. As anode for SIBs, the as-obtained SnNb 2 O 6 @C material exhibits excellent specific capacity (369 mAh g -1 at a current density of 50 mA g -1 ) and remarkable rate performance (177 mAh g -1 at 1000 mA g -1 ), which indicates its good prospect in practical application.

Abstract
Interior and surface synergistic modifications can endow the photocatalytic reaction with tuned photogenerated carrier flow at the atomic level. Herein, a new class of 2D/2D SnNb2O6/Ni-doped ZnIn2S4 (SNO/Ni-ZIS) S-scheme heterojunctions is synthesized by a simple hydrothermal strategy, which was used to evaluate the synergy between interior and surface modifications. Theoretical calculations show that the S-scheme heterojunction boosts the desorption of H atoms for rapid H2 evolution. As a result, 25% SNO/Ni0.4-ZIS exhibits significantly improved PHE activity under visible light, roughly 4.49 and 2.00 times stronger than that of single ZIS and Ni0.4-ZIS, respectively. In addition, 25% SNO/Ni0.4-ZIS also shows superior structural stability. This work provides advanced insight for developing high-performance S-scheme systems from photocatalyst design to mechanistic insight.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) own admirable potential due to their controllable composition and exchangeable interlayer anions. Herein, pyrenetetrasulfonic acid (PTS) intercalated ZnAl-LDHs (denoted as ZnAl-xPTS, x represents the amount of NaPTS in the starting material) are synthesized by a co-precipitation method, which display enhanced photocatalytic activity towards the hydroxylation of phenylboric acid to phenol. Various characterizations suggest that PTS plays significant roles in improving the photocatalytic activity: (1) PTS extends the light absorption from ultraviolet to visible light region; (2) the introduction of PTS upshifts the conduction band, which is feasible for the formation of O2∙-; (3) ZnAl-xPTS produces more free electrons under light irradiation, which leads to greatly improved activity. This study develops an alternative LDHs based photocatalyst for the production of phenol, which also provides an efficient strategy to improve the photocatalytic activity of LDHs.

Abstract
The conventional preparation of SnNb2O6 invariably involves complex and laborious steps, which unavoidably introduces defect into the host lattice and also increases the reaction period and costs, resulting in undesired recombination of photo-generated electron-hole pairs. For the first time in this work, we manage to synthesize single-crystalline two-dimensional (2D) SnNb2O6 nanosheets with ultrathin structure through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Comparative studies were explored to analyze the structure and phase evolution during the preparation course. The synthesized 2D structure demonstrated a narrower band gap of 2.09 eV and specific surface area of 76.1 m2 g-1, which exhibited significantly extended visible-light-responsive range and larger surface area by contrast with the state-of-the-art reports, resulting in excellent visible-light-driven photoactivity towards H2 production and water purification as well. Additionally, further enhanced photocatalytic performance was achieved by the incorporation of Pt as co-catalyst to indirectly indicate the advantage of the SnNb2O6 nanosheets in this method over other reported counterparts. It was found that, a very small amount of Pt loaded on the surface of SnNb2O6 nanosheets would contribute to remarkably higher activity than pure SnNb2O6 nanosheets and exhibit superior stability as well. Moreover, a deep insight into the underlying photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. This work sheds light on a new facile way to fabricate high-performance photocatalytic materials and provided new opportunities for solar-energy conversion.

Abstract
Acid pretreated biomass Lemna minor (BM-H3PO4) was used as support for CuO nanoparticles loading, to investigate the dye biosorption capacity and the photocatalytic performance under artificial visible light. The surface morphology, crystal structure, elemental composition, and the bandgap of modified biomass have been determined using FE-SEM, XRD, EDX, XPS, FTIR, and UV-DR analysis. The results showed that NH2 and P-O functional groups of (BM-H3PO4) can attract the copper ions (Cu2+), which can facilitate the loading of CuO nanoparticles hence, smaller nanoparticles with an average diameter of 21 nm was obtained. It was also found that when the CuO was incorporated in BM-H3PO4 in a proper mass ratio of 0.4, the biosorption efficiency was enhanced to 3 times compared with BM-H3PO4 and reached a maximum of 91%, at a dye concentration of 20 mg/L, solution pH equal to 5, and an ambient temperature of 25 °C. Furthermore, CuO-modified BM-H3PO4 exhibits a better photocatalytic activity than pure CuO in the presence of H2O2 and visible light irradiation, where the dye was completely removed and mineralized after 240 min, evidenced by COD measurement. The photocatalytic regeneration also shows that the biosorption efficiency was maintained at 91% over 3 cycles, indicating the significant self-regenerative capacity of the biosorbent.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) photocatalysts have been widely studied due to their short charge carrier migration pathways and tunable electronic structures. Herein, a facile one-pot solvothermal process with ethylamine (ea) constructs a novel 2D nanojunction based on ZnSe. The ea molecules coordinate with Zn2+ to form 2D ZnSe(ea)x, where the consequent 2D ZnSe grows in an epitaxial way resulting in the self-assembled 2D/2D ZnSe/ZnSe(ea)x nanojunctions driven by van der Waals (VDW) force, which largely extend the absorption range. The atomic thickness of the 2D structure offers a short charge migration pathway, low electric resistance and rich active sites for the surface reaction of photocatalysis. All the above favorable factors work synergistically to reach a superior hydrogen evolution of 2875 μmol g-1 h-1 under visible light irradiation (≥420 nm) and a notable quantum yield of 64.5% at 450 nm, which are among the highest recorded values of non-noble metal photocatalysts.

Abstract
Solar water splitting using photoelectrochemical cells (PECs) has emerged as one of the most promising routes to produce hydrogen as a clean and renewable fuel source. Among various semiconductors that have been considered as photoelectrodes for use in PECs, oxide-based photoanodes are particularly attractive because of their stability in aqueous media in addition to inexpensive and facile processing compared to other types of semiconductors. However, they typically suffer from poor charge carrier separation and transport. In the past few years, there has been tremendous progress in developing ternary oxide-based photoelectrodes, specifically, photoanodes. The use of ternary oxides provides more opportunities to tune the composition and electronic structure of the photoelectrode compared to binary oxides, thus providing more freedom to tune the photoelectrochemical properties. In this article, we outline the important characteristics to analyze when evaluating photoanodes and review the major recent progress made on the development of ternary oxide-based photoanodes. For each system, we highlight the favorable and unfavorable features and summarize the strategies utilized to address the challenges associated with each material. Finally, by combining our analyses of all the photoanodes surveyed in this review, we provide possible future research directions for each compound and an outlook for constructing more efficient oxide-based PECs. Overall, this review will provide a critical overview of current ternary oxide-based photoanodes and will serve as a platform for the design of future oxide-based PECs.

Abstract
In this work, a series of two-dimensional (2D) large-size nanosheets were prepared through one-step exfoliation of the huge K₄Nb₆O17 crystals. The K₄Nb₆O17 nanosheets with the thickness of about 2 nm was used as the templates of dopamine polymerization and was then carbonized to form C-doped K₄Nb₆O17 nanosheets. More importantly, the C-doped K₄Nb₆O17 nanosheets exhibited excellent electrochemical performance with high specific capacity (381 mA h g-1 at 0.05 A g-1, 0.5⁻3.0 V vs. Li/Li⁺) and stable cyclability at high current density (remarkably, preserved a capacity of discharge approximately 90 mA h g-1 at 5 A g-1 after 1000 cycles). The good electrochemical performances of the C-doped K₄Nb₆O17 nanosheets can be attributed to the outstanding 2D structure and large specific surface, which afforded the short transport route for ion and electron. These noteworthy results demonstrated that the new 2D nanomaterials might be potential candidates for the high-performance, environmentally friendly, and low-cost electrochemical energy storage equipment.

Abstract
Tantalum oxynitride-based materials, which possess narrow band gaps and sufficient band energy potentials, have been of immense interest for water splitting. However, the efficiency of photocatalytic reactions is still low because of the fast electron-hole recombination. Here, a Sr2Ta2O7- xN x/SrTaO2N heterostructured photocatalyst with a well-matched band structure was in situ constructed by the nitridation of hydrothermal-prepared Sr2Ta2O7 nanosheets. Compared to Sr2Ta2O7- xN x and pure SrTaO2N, the Sr2Ta2O7- xN x/SrTaO2N heterostructured photocatalyst exhibited the highest rate of hydrogen evolution, which is ca. 2.0 and 76.4 times of Sr2Ta2O7- xN x and pure SrTaO2N, respectively, under the similar reaction condition. The enhanced performance arises from the formation of suitable band-matched heterojunction-accelerated charge separation. This work provides a promising strategy for the construction of tantalum oxynitride-based heterojunction photocatalysts.

Abstract
Tin niobate photocatalysts with the phase structures of froodite (SnNb2O6) and pyrochlore (Sn2Nb2O7) were obtained by a facile solvothermal method in order to explore the impact of phase structure and electronic structure on the charge kinetics and photocatalytic performance. By employing tin niobate as a model compound, the effects of phase structure over electronic structure, photocatalytic activity toward methyl orange solution and hydrogen evolution were systematically investigated. It is found that the variation of phase structure from SnNb2O6 to Sn2Nb2O7 accompanied with modulation of particle size and band edge potentials that has great consequences on photocatalytic performance. In combination with the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), transient photocurrent responses, transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS), and the analysis of the charge-carrier dynamics suggested that variation of electronic structure has great impacts on the charge separation and transfer rate of tin niobate photocatalysts and the subsequent photocatalytic performance. Moreover, the results of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the existent of Sn4+ species in Sn2Nb2O7 could result in a decrease in photocatalytic activity. Photocatalytic test demonstrated that the SnNb2O6 (froodite) catalyst possesses a higher photocatalytic activity toward MO degradation and H2 evolution compared with the sample of Sn2Nb2O7 (pyrochlore). On the basis of spin resonance measurement and trapping experiment, it is expected that photogenerated holes, O2-•, and OH• active species dominate the photodegradation of methyl orange.

Abstract
As a sustainable technology, semiconductor photocatalysis has attracted considerable interest in the past several decades owing to the potential to relieve or resolve energy and environmental-pollution issues. By virtue of their unique structural and electronic properties, emerging ultrathin 2D materials with appropriate band structure show enormous potential to achieve efficient photocatalytic performance. Here, the state-of-the-art progress on ultrathin 2D photocatalysts is reviewed and a critical appraisal of the classification, controllable synthesis, and formation mechanism of ultrathin 2D photocatalysts is presented. Then, different strategies to tailor the electronic structure of ultrathin 2D photocatalysts are summarized, including component tuning, thickness tuning, doping, and defect engineering. Hybridization with the introduction of a foreign component and maintaining the ultrathin 2D structure is presented to further boost the photocatalytic performance, such as quantum dots/2D materials, single atoms/2D materials, molecular/2D materials, and 2D-2D stacking materials. More importantly, the advancement of versatile photocatalytic applications of ultrathin 2D photocatalysts in the fields of water oxidation, hydrogen evolution, CO2 reduction, nitrogen fixation, organic syntheses, and removal pollutants is discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogen production by photocatalytic overall water-splitting represents an ideal pathway for clean energy harvesting, for which developing high-efficiency catalysts has been the central scientific topic. Nanosized CoO with high solar-to-hydrogen efficiency (5%) is one of the most promising catalyst candidates. However, poor understanding of this photocatalyst leaves the key issue of rapid deactivation unclear and severely hinders its wide application. Here, we report a sub-micrometer CoO octahedron photocatalyst with high overall-water-splitting activity and outstanding ability of H2O2-resistance poisoning. We show that the deactivation of CoO catalyst originates from the unintended thermoinduced oxidation of CoO during photocatalysis, with coexistence of oxygen and water. We then demonstrate that introduction of graphene, as a heat conductor, largely enhanced the photocatalytic activity and stability of the CoO. Our work not only provides a new insight of CoO for photocatalytic water splitting but also demonstrates a new concept for photocatalyst design.

Abstract
Hollow structures with an efficient light harvesting and tunable interior component offer great advantages for constructing a Z-scheme system. Controlled design of hollow cobalt sulfide (Co9 S8 ) cubes embedded with cadmium sulfide quantum dots (QDs) is described, using hollow Co(OH)2 as the template and a one-pot hydrothermal strategy. The hollow CdS/Co9 S8 cubes utilize multiple reflections of light in the cubic structure to achieve enhanced photocatalytic activity. Importantly, the photoexcited charge carriers can be effectively separated by the construction of a redox-mediator-free Z-scheme system. The hydrogen evolution rate over hollow CdS/Co9 S8 is 134 and 9.1 times higher than that of pure hollow Co9 S8 and CdS QDs under simulated solar light irradiation, respectively. Moreover, this is the first report describing construction of a hollow Co9 S8 based Z-scheme system for photocatalytic water splitting, which gives full play to the advantages of light-harvesting and charges separation.
