Abstract
The development of next-generation photocatalysts has consistently gained inspiration from the evolution of natural nanostructures regarding their fabrication and application for the elimination of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). Herein, we synthesized blue-colored oxygen-vacant Bi2WO6-x inside butterfly wing architectures (BW-Bi2WO6-x) via modified functionalization and solvothermal techniques. Given that the (WO4)2- layer in Bi2WO6 structurally resembles the structure of WO3, the introduction of oxygen vacancies (OVs) boosts the solar light absorption in comparison to the short visible light absorption range (<450 nm) in pristine Bi2WO6 (P-Bi2WO6). Hence, the fabricated BW-Bi2WO6-x sample exhibited broadened photo-absorption over the visible to NIR wavelength range, improved semiconductor attachment on the wing architecture and heightened surface area with numerous active sites for the adsorption of POP molecules. The performance of the BW-Bi2WO6-x photocatalyst was monitored for the elimination of methylene blue (MB), rhodamine B (RhB) and 4-chlorophenol (4-CP) under UV light exposure, yielding 91%, 92% and 94% degradation, respectively, in 60 min. Similarly, the degradation efficiencies of 94%, 98% and 98% for the photodegradation of MB, RhB and 4-CP under visible light for 60 min, respectively, were observed. Under NIR light, 80%, 79% and 85% degradation efficiencies were observed for MB, RhB and 4-CP, respectively, after 60 min. Therefore, the proposed BW-Bi2WO6-x sample can provide insights and inspire the development of photo-responsive materials for applications in energy, defense and water treatment.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical WO3/BiOI p–n (WB) heterojunctions with different mass percentages of WO3 were fabricated through a precipitation process. Various analytical techniques were employed to characterize the resulting WB composites, and their photocatalytic properties were measured by the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) under irradiation of visible light. The WB heterojunctions showed largely enhanced photocatalytic performance as compared to the pure photocatalysts. Notably, the degradation rate constant of RhB by WB-10 was 3.3 and 33.6 times higher than those of pure BiOI and WO3, respectively. The enhanced activity could be attributed to the hierarchical p–n heterostructures, which can supply more reaction sites and effectively promote the separation of photogenerated charge carriers, as confirmed by PL and photocurrent. Trapping experiments implied that holes (h+) and superoxide anion radicals (˙O2−) were the dominant active species for organic pollutants decomposition on the WB composites. This work may benefit the construction of hierarchical heterostructures with high photocatalytic efficiency. One-dimensional (1D) hierarchical WO3/BiOI p–n (WB) heterojunctions with different mass percentages of WO3 were fabricated through a precipitation process.![]()

Abstract
Herein, we report a unique single-step biogenic deposition precipitation (BDP) approach as a straightforward route for producing efficient Schottky contact between noble metal nanoparticles and wide-band-gap semiconductors. Successful preparation of Ag-ZnO heterojunctions using fennel seed extract (FSE) has been described. The effective biomolecules available in the seeds functioned as novel biogenic materials for the precipitation of adsorbed silver ions (Ag+) on ZnO particles as metallic silver (Ag0). The as-prepared composite materials were characterized using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) study, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). The biogenically prepared Ag-ZnO nanocomposites exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity towards reduction/degradation of colored (rhodamine B (Rh-B) dye) as well as colorless (chlorpyrifos pesticide) pollutants when irradiated under solar light. Among the prepared photocatalysts, 3 wt% Ag-ZnO hybrid composite showed the best photocatalytic activity by efficiently degrading hazardous organic pollutants within a very short time. The superior photocatalytic performance of biogenically prepared Ag-ZnO heterojunctions can be ascribed to the clean production of steady and efficient Schottky contact between plasmonic AgNPs and semiconducting ZnO NPs.

Abstract
Heterostructured photocatalysts based on g-C3N4 and TiO2 represent a promising kind of photocatalyst in environmental fields, but the synthesis methods are always complex and not green. In the present paper, a facile and green one-step calcination procedure at lower temperature (450 °C) with the assistance of water is developed to synthesize a visible-light-active TiO2@g-C3N4 heterostructured photocatalyst, which shows higher visible-light-driven activity (k = 0.014 min-1) than pure g-C3N4 (k = 0.0036 min-1) and TiO2 (k = 0.0067 min-1) for methyl orange degradation. Excellent performance (over 90% conversion) was also observed for the removal of rhodamine B, phenol, and Cr(VI) under visible light. The heterostructured photocatalyst showed favorable reusability, preserving 86% of its activity after five successive cycles. A mechanism study demonstrates that the enhanced photocatalytic activity results from the efficient separation of the photo-generated charge carriers through the intimate interface between the two semiconductors based on their appropriate band structures and light-induced mechanism. The heterostructured photocatalyst will certainly find wide applications in the treatment of various toxic pollutants in wastewater using abundant solar energy. Furthermore, this facile and green procedure and the proposed synergistic mechanism will provide guidelines in designing other g-C3N4 based organic-inorganic composite photocatalysts for various applications.

Abstract
A novel carbon nanotubes modified Bi12O17Cl2 composite (CNTs/Bi12O17Cl2) was prepared via hydrothermal method. The chemical structures, morphologies, optical properties of the synthesized samples were revealed by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, BET and UV-vis DRS measurements. The photocatalytic activity of the CNTs/Bi12O17Cl2 composite was evaluated with degradation reaction of rhodamine B (RhB) under visible light. CNTs/Bi12O17Cl2 exhibited improved photocatalytic activity in comparison with pure Bi12O17Cl2, and kept favorable stability and recyclability in the reaction. The relatively high photocatalytic activity of CNTs/Bi12O17Cl2 resulted from the enhanced separation efficiency of photo-induced charges, which were revealed by the photoluminescence spectra and transient photocurrent measurements. CNTs loaded at the surface of Bi12O17Cl2 sheets acted as electron carriers to efficiently transfer the photoinduced electrons, namely to promote the separation of photoinduced electrons and holes, thus improving the photocatalytic activity of the composite materials. At last, a possible photocatalytic reaction mechanism over the CNTs/Bi12O17Cl2 composite was proposed based on the results of trapping experiment, ESR measurements and the band energy analysis.

Abstract
A series of visible-light-induced 2D/2D layered g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2 composite photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a one step chemical precipitation method with g-C3N4, BiCl3 and NaOH as the precursors at room temperature and characterized through XRD, FTIR, XPS, TEM, BET and UV-vis DRS measurements. The results of XRD, FTIR and XPS indicated that g-C3N4 has been introduced in the Bi12O17Cl2 system. The TEM image demonstrated that there was strong surface-to-surface contact between 2D g-C3N4 layers and Bi12O17Cl2 nanosheets, which contributed to a fast transfer of the interfacial electrons, leading to a high separation rate of photoinduced charge carriers in the g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2 system. Rhodamine B was considered as the model pollutant to investigate the photocatalytic activity of the resultant samples. The g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2 composite showed a clearly improved photocatalytic degradation capacity compared to bare g-C3N4 and Bi12O17Cl2, which was ascribed to the interfacial contact between the 2D g-C3N4 layers and Bi12O17Cl2 sheet with a matched energy band structure, promoting the photoinduced charges' efficient separation. Finally, combined with the results of the trapping experiment, ESR measurements and the band energy analysis, a reasonable photocatalytic mechanism over the 2D/2D layered g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2 composite was proposed. Surface-to-surface contact g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2 hybrid material with a matched energy band structure could efficiently transfer photoinduced charges, improving the photocatalytic activity.![]()
