Construction of a high-performance photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) based on plasmonic silver modified Cr-BiOCl nanosheets for simultaneous electricity production and pollutant removal
摘要： The development of high-performance photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) is seriously hampered by the poor light utilization rate and low charge carriers transfer efficiency. Herein, we have experimentally obtained the plasmonic Ag modified Cr-BiOCl (Cr-BOC/Ag) with high visible light photocatalytic activity and provided direct evidence for the substantially enhanced catalytic activity in metal-semiconductor photocatalysts. The experimental results revealed that the Cr doping and Ag modification could not only extend the photo absorption of BiOCl from the UV to the visible light region but also greatly increase the generation and transfer rate of charge carriers because of its narrowed band gap and the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of metallic Ag. Under visible light irradiation, the Cr-BOC/Ag showed the remarked enhancement on PFC performance when the optimum contents of Cr doping and Ag loading was 14.4% and 4%, respectively. The trapping experiments and multiple characterizations demonstrated that the advantageous combination of Cr doping effect and SPR effect induced by the Ag nanoparticles is responsible for the high generation rate of oxidative species and effective charge carriers transfer. By using RhB as fuel, approximately 75.1% color removal efficiency and 8.38% Coulombic efficiency were obtained under visible light irradiation for 240 min, which are higher than that of MO and TC. And, the Jsc and Voc of Cr-BOC/Ag photoanode were measured to be 0.0073 mA/cm2 and 0.543 V.

2D visible-light-driven TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 ternary heterostructure for high photocatalytic activity
摘要： A novel 2D visible-light-driven TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 ternary heterojunction photocatalyst with modified interfacial microstructure and electronic properties was synthesized by ultrasonic-assisted calcination method. The remarkably active g-C3N4 could provide high productivity of photogenerated electrons and holes. Meanwhile, the O/OH-terminated Ti3C2 and by-product TiO2 could act as excellent supporters by migrating electrons in TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 hybrids. As a result, the highest photocatalytic activities in the degradation of aniline and RhB were increased to 5 and 1.33 times higher than that of pristine g-C3N4 under visible-light irradiation, respectively. Furthermore, we proposed that n–n heterojunction and n-type Schottky heterojunction were built up across their interfaces, which efficiently improve the transition of electrons and further promote the photocatalytic activity of TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 hybrids. More appealingly, all the results highlight that the environment-friendly TiO2@Ti3C2/g-C3N4 heterojunction hybrids would be desirable candidates for pollutants degradation.

Visible light-induced oxidation of aqueous arsenite using facile Ag2O/TiO2 composites: Performance and mechanism
摘要： Conversion of aqueous arsenite [As(III)] to less toxic arsenate [As(V)] is a critical step for the arsenic pollution remediation. In this study, Ag2O/TiO2 composites synthesized via the pH-induced precipitation method were employed into the photocatalytic oxidation of As(III) under visible light irradiation. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis verified the formation of Ag2O/TiO2 heterostructures. Compared to pure Ag2O and TiO2, the 30% Ag2O/TiO2 composite exhibited much higher photochemical reactivities for the oxidation of As(III) under visible light irradiation. Under the optimal conditions [pH=4.0, the photocatalyst dosage being 0.3 g L-1 and initial As(III) concentration being 10 mg L-1], the oxidation and removal percent of As(III) was 60.7% and 83.0% after reaction for 120 min, respectively. Moreover, the formation of Ag(0) over the surface of Ag2O by photo-induced electrons contributed to the high stability of Ag2O/TiO2 composite. It was also found that photo-generated holes and superoxide radicals played the predominant roles in the As(III) oxidation. The improved photocatalytic activities were attributed to the formation of the hetero-junctions between Ag2O and TiO2, the strong visible light absorption, and the high separation efficiency of photo-generated electron-hole pairs resulted from the Schottky barriers at the Ag-Ag2O interface.

Acetylene black quantum dots as a bridge for few-layer g-C3N4/MoS2 nanosheet architecture: 0D–2D heterojunction as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst
摘要： Great progress has been made based on photocatalytic theory research in the past few years. There is, however, still a long way to go to popularize the application of photocatalytic materials. Here, we introduce a simple synthetic 0D–2D (D: dimensional) heterogeneous material with more efficient photocatalytic degradation. We construct acetylene black (AB) as a bridge to connect a graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nano-layer and two-dimensional MoS2 sandwich structure based on a simple hydrothermal synthesis and ultrasonic chemical loading. Loading 1% AB onto 2D g-C3N4/(x%)MoS2 not only accelerates the transfer of charge, but also reduces electron–hole recombination, which increases the photocatalytic efficiency per unit time. Studies have shown that the degradation rate of the ternary g-C3N4/AB/3.1%MoS2 catalytic materials can reach 94.29%, which is obviously higher than that of the pure g-C3N4 (80%) or MoS2 (51.74%) in degradation of methyl blue within 130 min. In this work, the ternary heterogeneous catalyst realizes the complementary characteristics between materials, broadens the photocatalytic properties and accelerates the degradation rate of pollutants, and provides a feasible solution to environmental friendliness.

Dynamically Optimized Multi-Interface Novel BiSI-Promoted Redox Sites Spatially Separated N-p-n Double Heterojunctions BiSI/MoS2/CdS for Hydrogen Evolution
摘要： Novel BiSI promoted n-p-n double heterojunctions multi-interface photocatalyst BiSI/MoS2/CdS was constructed. BiSI is applied to photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. It possesses a small band gap and a strong optical absorption coefficient, therefore, the optical absorption scope and coefficient of MoS2/CdS have been effectively enhanced by compounding with BiSI. The continuous heterojunctions strengthened the function of single junction and guided the carriers’ transfer direction, thus the redox reactions occur at spatially separated sites. Built-in electric field along the radial direction of BiSI nanorod and MoS2 interlayer helps to transport carriers within lifetime. Carrier dynamics is optimized by multi-interface structure. In general, a new material BiSI is introduced to construct a multi-interface structure to optimize carrier dynamics, which resulted in a 46-fold increase in hydrogen production efficiency.

A comparative study on photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity of synthesis methods of CDs/ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts
摘要： The introduction of carbon materials in photocatalytic systems can significantly enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity. Here, we proposed and fabricated carbon nanodots/ZnIn2S4 (CDs/ZIS) samples via three methods. The morphology, chemical elements and valence, and photoelectric properties of CDs/ZIS samples were systematically characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, UV and PL. The photocatalytic H2 production experiments indicate that the photocatalytic performance of all CDs/ZIS samples has been significantly improved, which could be attributed to the fact that serving as an excellent electron acceptor, CDs can accelerate the separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes. The samples prepared via one-pot hydrothermal method exhibit the optimal photocatalytic activity and the corresponding H2 production rate of 4.15 mmol g?1 h?1 under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), which is about 2.92 times higher than pure ZIS. Our work presented the influence of synthetic method on photoelectric performance and photocatalytic activity of CDs/ZIS nanocomposites, and provided a reliable idea for improving the photocatalytic performance of photocatalyst toward practical applications.

Syntheses, crystal structures, and photocatalytic properties of two zinc(II) coordination polymers based on dicarboxylates and flexible bis(benzimidazole) ligands
摘要： Two new ternary zinc(II) coordination polymers (CPs), catena-(μ2-phthalato)-(μ2-1,1'-hexane-1,6-diylbis(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole))-zinc (CP 1) and catena-(μ2-phenylene-1,4-diacetato)-(μ2-1,1'-hexane-1,6-diylbis(1H-benzimidazole))-zinc (CP 2) were synthesized via hydrothermal process. CP 1 and CP 2 are named as [Zn(L1)(PA)]n and [Zn(L2)(PDA)]n (L1 = 1,1'-hexane-1,6-diylbis(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole), L2 = 1,1'-hexane-1,6-diylbis(1H-benzimidazole), H2PA = phthalic acid, H2PDA = 1,4-phenylenediacetic acid)), respectively. Both CPs were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. CP 1 possesses a 4-connected 66-dia network, CP 2 displays a 2D hcb layer with point symbol {63}. Luminescence, UV-vis diffuse reflection spectra, and photocatalytic properties of two CPs for the degradation of the methylene blue (MB) dye were investigated. The mechanism of photocatalytic degradation of MB was also suggested.

Construction of dual defect mediated Z-scheme photocatalysts for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution
摘要： The construction of Z-scheme system is a promising approach for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE). In this study, we fabricated a direct Z-scheme system consisting of defect-rich g-C3N4 nanosheets (DR-CNNS) crumpled nanosheets with defect-rich TiO2 (DR-TiO2) nanoparticles via a dual defective strategy. The optimized dual-defective rich TiO2/CNNS composite showed a superior PHE rate of ?651.79 μmol/h with a turnover frequency of ?419.3 h?1 as well as high stability and recyclability, which presented the highest value in single defective TiO2 or g-C3N4-based photocatalysts families reported previously. Furthermore, this protocol could also be extended to synthesize other dual defective g-C3N4/oxides (ZnO, SnO2, etc.) heterostructures. The improved photocatalytic performances could be ascribed to the following aspects: (1) rich dual defect, narrowing the band gap and providing more reactive sites for PHE; (2) intimate interface, facilitating interfacial migration and utilization of photogenerated charges; (3) Z-scheme structure, accelerating photogenerated electron-hole pair separation and thus leading to more e?cient PHE. Our work highlights the critical role of defects in construction of Z-scheme system and provides the possibility of utilizing dual defective g-C3N4-based systems for other photocatalytic applications including CO2 reduction and water puri?cation.

Impact of doped metals on urea-derived g-C3N4 for photocatalytic degradation of antibiotics: Structure, photoactivity and degradation mechanisms
摘要： Metal doping is an appealing modification strategy of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to improve its photocatalytic activity. The interactions of g-C3N4 precursors with metals, however, has often been underappreciated, which can induce great impacts on g-C3N4 formation and properties. Herein, the impacts of metals (Na, K, Ca, Mg) on the morphology, structure, and photoactivity of urea-derived g-C3N4 were investigated. Our TEM and XPS results confirmed that the interactions of doped metals with urea precursors lead to the incorporation of O atoms from urea molecules into the framework of g-C3N4. Due to the synergistic effects of the metals and structural O atoms, doped g-C3N4 performed an elevated photodegradation of antibiotics under the visible light irradiation, which was attributed to the enhanced light-harvesting and reduced charge recombination. In addition, the doped metals presented uneven regulation on the band structures and morphology of g-C3N4. As a result, both superoxide and hydroxyl radicals were generated by g-CN-Na and g-CN-K, whereas, only superoxide radicals were involved in g-CN, g-CN-Ca and g-CN-Mg. Consequently, diversified photodegradation mechanisms for enrofloxacin (ENR) were observed that the g-CN, g-CN-Ca and g-CN-Mg reaction systems mainly attacked the piperazine moiety of ENR while g-CN-Na and g-CN-K provided additional photodegradation pathway by attacking quinolone core of ENR. The present work could provide new insights into further understanding of doping chemistry with g-C3N4.

Enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity of BiFeO3 via electric-field control of spontaneous polarization
摘要： Well-polarized BiFeO3 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared by a facile electrical poling method with the assist of a soluble organic-inorganic composite film. From XRD, TEM and SEM studies, no significant change in the crystal structure or morphology was detected after the electrical poling process. The visible-light driven photocatalytic process of poled BiFeO3 nanoparticles was accelerated by 2 times compared to unpoled BiFeO3. By combining time-resolved photoluminescence (PL), photoinduced silver deposition testing and photoelectrochemical measurements, it can be revealed that the enhanced photocatalytic performance of poled samples can be properly attributed to the promoted separation and prolonged lifetime of the photogenerated carriers caused by the ferroelectric polarization. These findings may offer a new route to promote the photocatalytic or photoelectric performances of BiFeO3 for advanced applications by adjusting the ferroelectric polarization.
