Valorization of tire wastes to carbon quantum dots (P-CDs) and photocatalytic degradation enhancement of organic wastes using ZnO-CDs nanocomposites
摘要： Valorization of solid wastes for the production of valuable materials is of great importance for sustainable development. In this paper, removal for solid and liquid wastes via hydrothermal and catalytic degradation was reported. The first removal process is the hydrothermal conversion of solid waste, here solid wastes of tire, to phosphorous and nitrogen doped carbon nanodots (P-CDs). The second removal is the visible-NIR light driven photocatalytic degradation of liquid waste, here methylene blue (MB) solution, using P-CDs loaded on ZnO nanoparticles. Energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) was used as a weak sufficient irradiation source. Photodegradation rate constants for ZnO-P-CDs were almost 10 times higher (0.08 h?1 for ZnO-P-CDs) comparing to pure ZnO (0.008 h?1), such enhancement is significant for a weak light source. Cyclic voltammetry and optical properties were used to find HOMO and LUMO of P-CDs. Based on the energy levels of ZnO and P-CDs, the catalytic enhancement was attributed to increasing the separation rate of photogenerated electrons and hole due to the transfer of electrons from the conduction bands of P-CDs to the conduction band of ZnO. Up-conversion photoluminescence of P-CDs is another reason for increasing the separation of excitons and harvesting the longer wavelength light. The proposed approach, solid and liquid waste removal via hydrothermal and catalytic degradation combined with weak LED light, would be a powerful approach in solid waste treatment and water purification technology, simultaneously.

An anti-symmetric dual (ASD) Z-scheme photocatalytic system: (ZnIn2S4/Er3+:Y3Al5O12@ZnTiO3/CaIn2S4) for organic pollutants degradation with simultaneous hydrogen evolution
摘要： An anti-symmetric dual (ASD) Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/Er3+:Y3Al5O12@ZnTiO3/CaIn2S4 photocatalyst was prepared by isoelectric point and calcination methods. The photocatalytic activity is estimated via degradation of Acid Orange II as a target organic contaminant with simultaneous hydrogen evolution under simulated solar-light irradiation. The prepared ASD Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/Er3+:Y3Al5O12@ZnTiO3/CaIn2S4 photocatalyst has a high photocatalytic activity, which can be assigned to the enlarged photoresponse range, increased reduction surface and enhanced separation efficiency of photo-induced carriers. Furthermore, the cyclic experiment proves that the prepared ASD Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/Er3+:Y3Al5O12@ZnTiO3/CaIn2S4 photocatalyst still maintains a high photocatalytic activity within five repetitive cycles. Moreover, the mechanism on photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants with simultaneous hydrogen evolution caused by ASD Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/Er3+:Y3Al5O12@ZnTiO3/CaIn2S4 photocatalyst is proposed. It is wished that this study could provide a promising pathway for effective degradation and rapid hydrogen production.

Self-generating CeVO4 as conductive channel within CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 to induce Z-scheme-charge-transfer driven photocatalytic degradation coupled with hydrogen production
摘要： The construction of highly efficient Z-scheme photocatalytic system is regarded as a hot research topic in the fields of environmental remediation and renewable energy production. In this work, a novel Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalyst is successfully prepared by using solid phase reaction method. The photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutant (Methylene Blue) with simultaneous hydrogen production is efficiently realized over the prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalysts under visible-light irradiation. The effects of treatment temperatures and treatment times of CeO2/V2O5 composite on the photocatalytic performance of Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 photocatalyst are studied. The as-prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst heat-treated at 550 °C for 3.0 h exhibits the highest photocatalytic performance. It can be ascribed to a moderate amount of CeVO4 nanoparticles generated between CeO2 and V2O5. The generated CeVO4 nanoparticles can be used as effective conductive channel to transfer the photo-generated carriers. At the same time, as redox reaction centers it can further accelerate the transfer of photo-generated electrons, effectively enhancing the separation efficiency of photo-generated electron and hole pairs. Furthermore, cyclic test demonstrates that the as-prepared Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst still maintains a high level of photocatalytic activity within five periods under the same conditions. Moreover, the related photocatalytic mechanism for degradation of organic pollutants with simultaneous hydrogen evolution over the Z-scheme CeO2/CeVO4/V2O5 (550-3) photocatalyst is proposed. Perhaps, this study affords a simple and novel method to design and develop next generation of highly efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Binary composites WO3/g-C3N4 in porous morphology: Facile construction, characterization, and reinforced visible light photocatalytic activity
摘要： Various WO3/g-C3N4 binary composites were constructed by a facile one-step calcination procedure and then systematically analyzed for chemophysical properties. Interestingly, these resultant composites showed porous morphology in combination with some tubular structures, where both components were closely contacted to generate heterojunction structures. Accordingly, these composites possessed reinforced visible-light absorption capability and enlarged specific surface areas in texture. These microstructural, morphological, and electronic merits ensured the strengthened photocatalytic performance toward degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. In addition, on base of reactive species entrapping experiments and analytical results, a probable photocatalysis mechanism was speculated as a “Z-scheme” manner instead of conventional Type II path.

Plasmonic Au nanoparticles supported on both sides of TiO2 hollow spheres for maximising photocatalytic activity under visible light
摘要： A strategy of intensifying the visible light harvesting ability of anatase TiO2 hollow spheres (HSs) was developed, in which both sides of TiO2 HSs were utilised for stabilising Au nanoparticles (NPs) through the sacrificial templating method and convex surface-induced confinement. The composite structure of single Au NP yolk-TiO2 shell-Au NPs, denoted as Au@Au(TiO2, was rendered and confirmed by the transmission electron microscopy analysis. Au@Au(TiO2 showed enhanced photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methylene blue and phenol in aqueous phase under visible light reference materials such as surpassing that of other Au(TiO2 by 77% and Au@P25 by 52%, respectively, in phenol degradation.

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.

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.

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.

Preparation and immobilization of zinc sulfide (ZnS) nanoparticles on polyvinylidene fluoride pellets for photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in wastewater
摘要： ZnS nanoparticles with 90 nm diameter were synthesized by low-temperature method and immobilized onto the surface of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) pellets prepared by phase inversion method. Results by FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that the ZnS nanoparticles were immobilized tightly on the PVDF surface without their release and losing photocatalytic activity. The UV-absorption spectra showed that the PVDF matrix had no adverse effect on the optical properties of ZnS nanoparticles. Due to large size (5 mm) and excellent mechanical stability, the PVDF-ZnS pellets could be easily dispersed in the photocatalytic reactor treating methylene blue solution. The removal efficiency of the methylene blue with the PVDF-ZnS pellets was higher (more than 95%) than that observed by the control PVDF pellets or ZnS nanoparticles tested. No change in the removal efficiency was observed as the PVDF-ZnS pellets were reused by performing photocatalytic tests at the same experimental conditions repeatedly.
