J Environ Sci (China) 2024; 138:709-718. [PMID: 38135433 DOI: 10.1016/j.jes.2023.05.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a common indoor pollutant that is detrimental to human health. Its efficient removal has become an urgent demand to reduce the public health risk. In this work, Ag-MnOx-based catalysts were prepared and activated under different atmosphere (i.e., air, hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO)) for efficient oxidation of HCHO. The catalyst activated with CO (Ag/Mn-CO) displayed the highest activity among the tested samples with 90% conversion at 100°C under a gas space velocity of 75,000 mL/(gcat·hr). Complementary characterizations demonstrate that CO reduction treatment resulted in synergically regulated content of surface oxygen on support to adsorb/activate HCHO and size of Ag particle to dissociate oxygen to oxidize the adsorbed HCHO. In contrast, other catalysts lack for either abundant surface oxygen species or metallic silver with the appropriate particle size, so that the integrate activity is limited by one specific reaction step. This study contributes to elucidating the mechanisms regulating the oxidation activity of Ag-based catalysts.

Abstract
Photochemical deposition has been attracting increasing attention for preparing nano-catalysts due to its mild reaction conditions, simplicity, green and safe characteristics, and potential for various applications in photocatalysis, thermal catalysis, and electrocatalysis. In this review, we provide an overview of recent advances in photochemical deposition methods for fabricating heterogeneous catalysts, and summarize the factors that influence the nucleation and growth of metal nanoparticles during the photochemical process. Specifically, we focus on the various factors including surface defects, crystal facets, surface properties and the surface plasmon effect on the size, morphology and distribution control of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles on semiconductors. The control of the photogenerated charges and the triggered photochemical reactions have been proved to be significant in the photochemical deposition process. Besides, the applications of the obtained catalytic materials in thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis is highlighted, considering that many reviews have covered photocatalysis applications. We first introduce the principle of photodeposition, nucleation and growth theory, and factors affecting photodeposition. Then, we introduce photodeposition methods that can achieve "controlled" photodeposition from a strategic perspective. Finally, we summarize the fruitful results of controlled photodeposition and provide future prospects for the development of controlled photodeposition technologies and methods, as well as the deepening and expansion of applications.

Abstract
Dispersing metal nanoclusters on the oxide supports is attracting close attention in heterogeneous catalysis, but great challenges still lie in controlling the size and dispersion of nanoclusters due to the inevitable agglomeration. Here, we propose a sequential photochemical deposition strategy named “first store, and then release” to uniformly fabricate the size-controlling noble metal nanoclusters on semiconductor oxides. Using the typical semiconductor TiO2, the photoexcited electrons can be first stored as reduced species (e.g. Ti3+) under irradiation and the Ti3+ species can optimize both the nucleation and growth processes in dark reaction, resulting in a uniform dispersing of various noble metals (Au, Pt, Ag etc.) with size diameters of ∼1 nm. The nanoclusters catalysts exhibited superior performance in catalytic oxidation of HCHO compared with that of nanoparticles. This work brings a new and useful strategy to construct size-controlling noble metals on the oxide supports for heterogeneous catalysis and the related fields. Metal nanoclusters were deposited on semiconductors via sequential photodeposition Ti3+ species store the photoelectrons and optimize the nucleation and growth processes The catalysts exhibit superior performance in catalytic oxidation of HCHO

Abstract
Herein, g-C3N4/CdS hybrids with controllable CdS nanoparticles anchoring on g-C3N4 nanosheets were constructed. The effects of CdS nanoparticles on photocatalytic H2 production and organic molecule degradation for g-C3N4/CdS hybrids were investigated. The maximum rate of H2 production for g-C3N4/CdS sample was 1,070.9 μmol g−1 h−1, which was about four times higher than that of the individual g-C3N4 nanosheet sample. The enhanced photocatalytic performance for prepared hybrids could be mainly attributed to the following causes: the formed heterojunctions can contribute to the light absorption and separation of photogenerated electrons and holes, the two-dimensional layered structure facilitates the transmission and transfer of electrons, and high specific surface area could provide more exposed active sites.

Abstract
For converting the renewable solar energy to hydrogen (H2) energy by photocatalytic (PC) overall water splitting (OWS), visible-light-driven photocatalysts are especially desired. Herein, a model CdS/g-C3N4 photocatalyst with a type II heterojunction is first demonstrated via a facile coupling of g-C3N4 nanosheets and CdS nanorods. After being combined with in situ photodeposited 3 wt % Pt and 4 wt % MnOx dual cocatalysts simultaneously, the optimal visible-light-driven (λ > 400 nm) composite photocatalyst of Pt-CdS/g-C3N4-MnOx gives a H2 generation rate of 9.244 μmol h-1 (924.4 μmol h-1 g-1) and a O2 evolution rate of 4.6 μmol h-1 (460 μmol h-1 g-1) in pure water, which is over 420 times higher than that of pure CdS nanorods loaded with 0.5 wt % Pt. The apparent quantum efficiency (AQE) reaches about 3.389% (at 400 nm) and 1.745% (at 420 nm), respectively. The combination of a type II heterojunction and simultaneous in situ photodeposition of the dual cocatalysts results in a dramatically improved PC efficiency and a long-term stability of the CdS/g-C3N4 visible-light-driven photocatalyst for OWS.
