Abstract
Photocatalystic evolution of H2O2 from water and oxygen has attracted significant attention because of environmentally friendly. The absorption in visible and hydrophilic feature of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) make it a good candidate. In this paper, a rapid post-treatment at high temperature was developed to obtain g-C3N4 nanosheets with abundant crystalline/amorphous interfaces to form homojunctions, which optimized uniplanar carrier mobility dynamics. The conversion from bulk to two-dimensional g-C3N4 resulted from the breakage of interplanar hydrogen bonds and interlayer Van der Waals force. The unique morphology not only rendered photocatalyst with larger specific surface area but also inhibited the robust volume recombination of charge carriers. The accelerated charge carriers flow at the interface, interplane and interlayer together ameliorated the separation and transfer of electrons and holes. A new-emerged n→π* transition ameliorated the poor light utilization efficiency. Beyond the increased photocatalytic H2 evolution property (779.2 μmol g-1 h-1), optimized sample displayed a H2O2 evolution activity as high as 4877.1 μM g-1 h-1 under visible light illumination, which was ∼5.8 times of that of bulk g-C3N4. Detailed photocatalytic mechanism investigation manifested that the two-step single-electron oxygen reduction process occupied the dominant status in H2O2 evolution. This work proposed a novel strategy for obtaining g-C3N4 homojunctions as a promising bi-functional metal-free catalyst to be applied in clean energy production field.

Z-scheme WOx/Cu-g-C 3N 4 heterojunction nanoarchitectonics with promoted charge separation and transfer towards efficient full solar-spectrum photocatalysis. J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 636:646-656.

Abstract
Construction of Z-scheme heterojunctions has been considered one superb method in promoting solar-assisted charge carrier separation of carbon-based materials to achieve efficient utilization of solar energy in hydrogen production and CO2 reduction. One interesting concept in nanofabrication that has become trend recent years is nanoarchitectonics. A heterostructure photocatalyst constructed based on the idea of nanoarchitectonics using the combination of g-C3N4, metal and an additional semiconducting nanocomposite is investigated in this paper. Z-scheme tungsten oxide incorporated copper modified graphitic carbon nitride (WOx/Cu-g-C3N4) heterostructures are fabricated via immobilization of WOx on Cu nanoparticles modified superior thin g-C3N4 nanosheets. Mechano-chemical pre-reaction and a two-step high-temperature thermal polymerization process are the keys in attaining homogeneous distribution of Cu nanoparticles in g-C3N4 nanosheets. The horizontal growth of homogeneously distributed WOx nanobelts on Cu modified g-C3N4 (Cu-g-C3N4) base via solvothermal synthesis is achieved. The photocatalytic performances of the heterostructures are evaluated through water splitting and CO2 photoreduction measurements in full solar spectrum irradiation condition. The presence of Cu nanoparticles in the composite system improves charge transport between g-C3N4 and WOx and thus enhances the photocatalytic performances (H2 generation and CO2 photoreduction) of the composite material, while the presence of WOx nanocomposites enhances light absorption of the composite material in the near infrared range. The synthesized heterostructure with optimized WOx to Cu-g-C3N4 ratio and in case of no co-catalyst addition exhibits enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution (4560 μmolg-1h-1) as well as excellent CO2 reduction rate (5.89 μmolg-1h-1 for CO generation).

Abstract
Mixed-phase TiO2 nanosheets were loaded on superior thin g-C3N4 nanosheets by a one-step solvothermal synthesis to form unique two-dimensional (2D)/2D heterostructures, which increased the interface area between TiO2 and g-C3N4, resulting in the easy migration of photogenerated carriers between two components. The rate of photocatalytic reactions increased significantly. Ciprofloxacin, tetracycline hydrochloride, and oxytetracycline hydrochloride were selected as target substances to test the photocatalytic degradation properties of the sample. The photoreduction performance of Cr(VI) was also tested. The results indicate that the photocatalytic degradation rate of antibiotics using TiO2/g-C3N4 heterostructures under visible light irradiation was twice that of g-C3N4. It took only 30 min to remove Cr(VI) (20 mg/L) under full solar spectrum irradiation; the photoreduction rate of Cr(VI) is also nearly twice that of pure TiO2. The improved performance was attributed to the rich active sites brought by mixed-phase TiO2 nanosheets. The extensive interface made the rapid migration of photogenerated carriers possible. The heterostructures revealed a band gap of 2.81 eV, which is less than that of TiO2 (3.2 eV), resulting in the increased absorption of visible light. Meanwhile, the mixed phase of TiO2 was beneficial for the separation of photogenerated carriers.

Abstract
Surface modification has been considered a simple and effective strategy to enhance the photocatalytic activity of polymeric carbon nitride (CN), but resultant difference of energy band structures between the modified surface layer and the unmodified inside in the sample has always been neglected. Herein, maleoyl-modified CN (MaCN) was simply prepared via a dehydration reaction between CN and maleic acid, and exhibits enhanced charge separation, optical absorption, and thus photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity, relative to the bulk CN. The surface modification causes variation of the band structure, suggesting the difference of band levels between the surface layer with maleoyl-modification and the inside without any modification in MaCN, and the surface layer and the inside with matched band levels form type-II core-shell homojunction to enhance the charge separation. This work expounds a conceptual framework of core-shell homojunction in surface-modified CN photocatalysts.

Abstract
Conventional two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride, 2D g-C3N4 with its layered structures and flat and smooth 2D surface possesses certain disadvantages that is affecting their photocatalytic performances. In this paper, new nanostructured spine-like three-dimensional (3D) g-C3N4 nanostructures are created for the first time via a new three-step synthesis method. In this method, self-assembly of layered precursors and H+ intercalation introduced by acid treatment play an important role for the unique nanostructure formation of 3D g-C3N4 nanostructures. The spine-like 3D g-C3N4 nanostructures show a superior photocatalytic performance for H2 generation, achieving 4500 μmol·g-1·h-1, 8.2 times higher than that on conventional 2D g-C3N4. Remarkably spine-like 3D g-C3N4 nanostructures demonstrate a clear photocatalytic activity toward CO2 reduction to CH4 (0.71 μmol·g-1·h-1) in contrast to the negligible photocatalytic performance of conventional 2D g-C3N4 for the reaction. Adding Pt clusters as co-catalysts substantially enhance the CH4 generation rate of the 3D g-C3N4 nanostructures by 4 times (2.7 μmol·g-1·h-1). Spine-like 3D g-C3N4 caged nanostructure leads to the significantly increased active sites and negatively shifted conduction band position in comparison with conventional 2D g-C3N4, favorable for the photocatalytic reduction reaction. This study demonstrates a new platform for the development of efficient photocatalysts based on nanostructured 3D g-C3N4 for H2 generation and conversion of CO2 to useful fuels such as CH4.

Abstract
Fabrication of homojunctions is a cost-effective efficient way to enhance the photocatalytic performance of polymeric carbon nitride (CN), but the generation of defects upon synthesizing CN homojunctions and their roles in the homojunction fabrication were hardly reported. Herein, nitrogen-deficient CN homojunctions were simply synthesized by calcining dicyandiamide-loaded CN (prepared from urea and denoted as UCN) with dicyandiamide polymerizing into CN (denoted as DCN) and simultaneous formation of nitrogen vacancies in the surface of UCN. Fabrication of the nitrogen-deficient UCN (dUCN)/DCN homojunction depends on the nitrogen vacancy content in dUCN which can tune the energy band structure of dUCN from not matching to matching with that of DCN. The dUCN/DCN homojunction exhibits extended optical absorption and remarkably enhanced charge separation and photocatalytic H2 evolution, compared with UCN and DCN. This work illustrates the pivotal role of defects in fabricating CN homojunctions and supplies a new facile way to synthesize nitrogen-deficient CN.

Abstract
Two-dimensional heterostructures (2D HSs) have emerged as a new class of materials where dissimilar 2D materials are combined to synergise their advantages and alleviate shortcomings. Such a combination of dissimilar components into 2D HSs offers fascinating properties and intriguing functionalities attributed to the newly formed heterointerface of constituent components. Understanding the nature of the surface and the complex heterointerface of HSs at the atomic level is crucial for realising the desired properties, designing innovative 2D HSs, and ultimately unlocking their full potential for practical applications. Therefore, this review provides the recent progress in the field of 2D HSs with a focus on the discussion of the fundamentals and the chemistry of heterointerfaces based on van der Waals (vdW) and covalent interactions. It also explains the challenges associated with the scalable synthesis and introduces possible methodologies to produce large quantities with good control over the heterointerface. Subsequently, it highlights the specialised characterisation techniques to reveal the heterointerface formation, chemistry and nature. Afterwards, we give an overview of the role of 2D HSs in various emerging applications, particularly in high-power batteries, bifunctional catalysts, electronics, and sensors. In the end, we present conclusions with the possible solutions to the associated challenges with the heterointerfaces and potential opportunities that can be adopted for innovative applications.

Abstract
WO3-x was deposited on TiO2(B) nanosheets prepared using TiCl4 to form layered heterostructures via a two-step solvothermal synthesis, in which the horizontal growth of WO3-x on TiO2(B) nanosheets was carried out using WCl6 and ascorbic acid as a reducer. Optimized preparation conditions allowed WO3-x/TiO2(B) layered heterostructures to be formed. The photo- and electro-chemical properties of layered heterostructures depended strongly on the amount of WO3-x. The WO3-x/TiO2(B) heterostructures demonstrated perfect catalytic performance in full solar-spectrum light and a fast degradation effect for dye and organic colorless pollutant. All target chemicals were degraded within 10 min using WO3-x/TiO2(B) samples as a photo-catalyst in the full solar-spectrum. The photo-assisted production kinetic of Cr(VI) ions were tested. The results indicate that the reproduction rate of Cr(VI) ions using WO3-x/TiO2(B) sample is three times higher than the initial TiO2 nanosheets. The result of the photo current and Mott-Shottky curve indicates that enhanced catalysis activity is ascribed to the surface of the metastable TiO2(B) with Ti3+ defects and oxygen vacancies as active sites for photocatalytic reaction. In addition, the loading of WO3-x greatly broadened the light absorption range of TiO2(B), meaning that the product responded in the full solar spectrum.

Abstract
Developing 3 D self-assembled nanoarchitectures with well-defined crystal structures is an effective strategy to enhance the electrochemical performances of electrode materials. (1 1 0)-oriented and bridged-nanoblocks self-assembled VS4 microspheres are controllably synthesized by a facile one-step hydrothermal method. The (1 1 0)-bridged structure sets up open pathways for Na+ diffusion among nanoblocks, and the (1 1 0)-oriented structure provides unobstructed pathways for Na+ diffusion in the nanoblocks, which collectively constructs multidimensional Na+ transfer channels in the VS4 microspheres, promoting the electrochemical kinetics. As an anode for Na-ion batteries (SIBs), this material exhibits pseudocapacitive Na+ storage and excellent rate capability, delivering high capacities of 339 and 270 mAh g-1 at rates of 0.1 and 2.0 A g-1 , respectively, with a capacity retention of 79 % in the voltage window of 0.5-3.0 V. In particular, the reversible capacity reaches 575 mAh g-1 after 300 cycles even at 1.0 A g-1 in the voltage window of 0.05-3.0 V, outperforming those of the ever-reported VS4 -based anode materials. This work presents an effective strategy to the exploration and design of high-performance anodes for SIBs.

Abstract
The controlled synthesis of a variety of microstructures is valuable for understanding the relationship between morphology and properties and exploring potential applications. In this paper, hollow CoS1.097 prisms were prepared by prismatic Co-precursors using thioacetamide (TAA) as a sulfidation treatment reagent. A plausible mechanism was proposed for the formation of the hollow prism structure. S2- comes from TAA to displace the anions in Co-precursors by adjusting temperature and pressure. The original prism morphology of the Co-precursor was maintained and a hollow prismatic structure was formed by an anion exchanging process. Interestingly, the composition of samples after sulfidation treatment can be controlled by changing the diffusion to obtain Co3O4/CoS1.097 and CoS1.097 materials. As electrode materials for supercapacitors, hollow CoS1.097 prisms revealed ideal electrochemical performance.
