Distinguishing the effects of altered morphology and size on visible-light-induced water oxidation activity and photoelectrochemical performance of BaTaO2N crystal structures
摘要： Factors, including crystallinity, morphology, size, preferential orientation, growth, composition, porosity, surface area, etc., can directly influence the optical, charge-separation, charge-transfer and water oxidation and reduction properties of particle-based photocatalysts. Therefore, these factors must be considered when designing high-performance particle-based photocatalysts for solar water splitting. Here, a flux growth method was applied to alter the morphology and size of the Ba5Ta4O15 precursor oxide crystals using BaCl2, KCl, RbCl, CsCl, KCl+BaCl2 and K2SO4 at different solute concentrations, and the impact of nitridation with and without KCl flux was studied. Specifically, the effects of altered morphology and size on the visible-light-induced water oxidation activity and photoelectrochemical performance of the BaTaO2N crystal structures were investigated. Upon nitridation, the samples became porous due to the lattice shrinkage caused by the replacement of 3 O2? with 2 N3? in the anionic network. The BaTaO2N crystal structures obtained by nitridation without KCl flux show higher surface areas than do their counterparts prepared by nitridation with KCl flux because of the formation of porous networks. All samples exhibited a high anodic photocurrent upon nitridation without KCl flux compared with that of the samples obtained by nitridation with KCl flux. The findings demonstrate that it is important to specifically engineer photocatalytic crystals to reach their maximum potential in solar water splitting.

Effect of conduction band potential on cocatalyst-free plasmonic H <sub/>2</sub> evolution over Au loaded on Sr <sup>2+</sup> -doped CeO <sub/>2</sub>
摘要： There is little information on the effect of the conduction band (CB) position on plasmonic hydrogen (H2) formation under visible light irradiation over gold (Au) nanoparticles supported on semiconductors because there were no appropriate materials for which the CB position gradually changes. In this study, we analyzed the flatband potential of strontium ion (Sr2+)-doped cerium(IV) oxide (CeO2:Sr) and found that the CB position gradually shifted negatively from +0.031 V to ?1.49 V vs. NHE with an increase in the Sr2+ mole fraction. Plasmonic photocatalysts consisting of Au nanoparticles, CeO2:Sr and a platinum (Pt) cocatalyst were prepared and characterized by using X-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, and transmission electron spectroscopy. Photocatalytic reaction under visible light irradiation revealed that H2 was produced over Au nanoparticles supported on CeO2:Sr having the CB potential of ?0.61 V vs. NHE and that the negative limit of the CB position for electron injection from Au nanoparticles existed between ?0.61 V and ?1.49 V vs. NHE. We found that Au/CeO2:Sr plasmonic photocatalysts also produced H2 without the aid of a Pt cocatalyst due to the sufficiently negative potential of electrons injected into the CB of CeO2:Sr.

Dual Function of Graphene Oxide for Assisted Exfoliation of Black Phosphorus and Electron Shuttle in Promoting Visible and Near-Infrared Photocatalytic H2 Evolution
摘要： The search for suitable photocatalysts with broadband absorption in visible and near-infrared (NIR) region is recognized as one of the most challenging issues on solar energy utilization. Black phosphorous (BP) is demonstrated as an effective visible and NIR activated material in solar energy conversion. However, traditional liquid exfoliation yield is low and the rigid structure and insoluble properties of pristine BP hinder its high-yield of hybridization. Herein, a new and stable noble-metal-free ternary photocatalyst molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-BP/graphene oxide (GO) was constructed for splitting water to H2, showing dual functions of GO in synthetic and photocatalytic processes. Under visible-NIR light irradiation, the H2 evolution rates of MoS2-BP/GO was enhanced to 3.47 μmol h-1. Rapid electron injection efficiency from excited BP to GO and to MoS2 was confirmed by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy. This study provides new insight into the design of nanomaterials, and offers a noble-metal-free protocol with noble-metal-free.

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.

Black phosphorous sensitized TiO <sub/>2</sub> mesocrystals photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution with visible and near-infrared light irradiation
摘要： Wide absorption from ultraviolet (UV) to near-infrared (NIR) region and enhanced charge separation are two main requirements for promising semiconductor photocatalysts. Here, we studied visible-NIR driven photocatalytic hydrogen evolution over black phosphorus nanosheets/TiO2 mesocrystals loaded with Pt heterostructure (BP NS/ Pt (3 wt%)/TMC TMC). BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/TMC can harvest photons from UV to NIR and simultaneously has enhanced charge separation to increase the generation of electrons for photocatalytic reduction of water. BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/TMC exhibited photocatalytic H2 evolution rates of 1.9 and 0.41 μmol h-1 under visible (λ> 420 nm (420-1800 nm)) and NIR (λ> 780 nm (780-1800 nm) irradiation, respectively, compared with 0.3 and 0.10 μmol h-1 for BP NS/Pt (3 wt%)/P25. Moreover, a comparative study was made to examine the effect of thickness of BP NS on the photocatalytic H2 evolution. Femtosecond time-resolved diffused reflectance spectroscopy (fs-TRDRS) was integrated together with photoelectrochemical measurement to shed the light on the importance of charge transfer and separation, confirming that decreasing the thickness of BP NS enhances electron injection from BP NS to TMC to increase the photocatalytic activity.

Low temperature fabrication of high quality gate insulator in metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitor using laser annealing
摘要： This paper reports the fabrication of a high quality gate oxide for metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors using a continuous wave blue laser. A thin Zr metal layer was inserted between the dielectric and substrate to increase laser absorption and reduce the interface layer. A simulation of laser irradiation showed that metal layer insertion induces a significant increase in temperature during laser annealing compared to the dielectric without a metal layer. The laser annealed capacitor with a 1 nm-thick Zr metal layer showed superior electrical characteristics, such as high capacitance, low leakage current, low fixed charge density and low interface state density. Based on these results and the economic advantage of blue laser diodes, this technique can be a solution for low temperature processes, such as monolithic 3-dimensional integration, where low temperature processes are required.

Surface decoration of BiOCl with BiVO<sub>4</sub> particles towards enhanced visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance
摘要： BiVO4/BiOCl p-n junctioned photocatalysts were synthesized by surface replacement of pre-synthesized BiOCl with BiVO4 via a hydrothermal route. BiVO4 particles were decorated on the surface of BiOCl, the structures of which were favored of maximizing absorption of visible light. The photocatalytic activity of the heterojunctioned composites were evaluated by degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye under visible light illumination. The results indicated that the composites exhibited superior efficiencies for RhB photodegradation in comparison with pure BiOCl, BiVO4 and BiOCl/BiVO4 with similar compositions. The 30% BiVO4/BiOCl exhibited an optimal photocatalytic activity due to the combinative effects of large visible-light absorbance and carrier separation. Experiments on scavenging active intermediates demonstrated that the enhanced photoactivity was primarily attributed to the formation of p-n junction. An effective built-in electric field was formed by the interface between p-type BiOCl and n-type BiVO4, which promoted the efficient separation of photoinduced electron-hole pairs.

In-situ solid phase thermal transformation of self-assembled melamine phosphotungstates produce efficient visible light photocatalysts
摘要： Visible-light-driven stacked-layer heterogeneous photocatalyst carbonitride/tungstophosphate (TCN) was constructed via in-situ solid-state thermal transformation using melamine phosphotungstate (MPW). The structural, morphological and optical properties of the samples were investigated. Compared to the MPW hybrids and phosphotungstic acid hydrate, the TCN photocatalysts showed excellent visible light photocatalytic activity. During the thermal transformation, the melamine molecules polymerize to form the defective heptazine structure carbonitride attached to the surface of mixed-valence Keggin units. The interfacial POMs anions-p interactions, ligand-to-metal charge transfer and mix-valence organic-POMs structure makes the electrons fully delocalized over the MPW hybrids, and the TCN photocatalysts obtain the extended light absorption. The Keggin units accept and transfer electrons, so the recombination of photogenerated carriers is suppressed. 13TCN-390 obtains the optimal photocatalytic activity, its photocatalytic degradation efficiency of imidacloprid and rate constant k are 6.38 and 13.50 times than that of CN-390, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity arises from the extended light absorption, suppressed photogenerated carriers’ recombination, surface structure defect and suitable band structure. h+ and (cid:1)OH are the main reactive species when the proposed photocatalytic mechanism was done. This study provides a promising construction strategy for polymer/POMs photocatalysts using different organic-POMs hybrids.

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.

Time-dependent DFT and experimental study on visible light photocatalysis by metal oxides of Ti, V and Zn after complexing with a conjugated polymer
摘要： Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time Dependent (TD)-DFT studies predict substantial modifications in optical properties of Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) of Ti, V and Zn by complexing them with conjugated polymer polythiophene (PTh). The TMO nanostructures were synthesized and their complexes with polymers were fabricated using a chemical oxidative polymerization method. Coating of the TMOs with PTh and the nano-dimensional nature of the samples was confirmed by various morphological investigations such as infrared (IR), X-ray di?ractographs (XRD), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) techniques. The prepared samples were found to be a visible light driven photocatalyst. The sensitization of the complexes has been explained in terms of relative ordering of frontier orbitals of PTh and the TMO, and PTh qualified as an e?cient photosensitizer for all three metal oxides on the basis of its electronic characteristics. Since the Highest Occupied Molecular Orbital (HOMO) of PTh lies well between the band gap of all three TMOs, the electron transfer from donor (PTh) to acceptor (TMO) is facilitated. The appreciable red shift in the absorption spectrum and decrease in the optical band gap calculated by Tauc’s plot confirmed substantial reduction in the band gap of the formed complex in comparison to their bare counterparts. The isodensity plots established the PTh–TMO complexes as donor acceptor complexes and intermolecular charge transfer quantified the electron transfer from PTh (donor) to the TMOs (acceptor).
