Abstract
Photocatalytic H2 evolution and biomass-derived alcohol oxidation is a cooperative way for improving the utilization of photogenerated charge carriers. Herein, a highly efficient photocatalyst was fabricated by decorating Zn0.5Cd0.5S with a C,N codoped CoP polyhedron (referred to as CoP, derived from ZIF-67), and then it was used for H2 evolution and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation. For the optimized sample (20% CoP/Zn0.5Cd0.5S), the generated H2 rate is significantly enhanced from that of the HMF aqueous solution with 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) as a concomitant product, about 31.7 times higher than the pristine Zn0.5Cd0.5S under visible light irradiation. The separation of photoexcited electrons (e-) and holes (h+) in the process was promoted, as both e- and h+ were involved in the desired conversions. From the results of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and in situ XPS spectra, the utilization of e- was further improved as a spontaneous transfer from Zn0.5Cd0.5S to CoP occurred due to the p-n heterojunction formed between Zn0.5Cd0.5S (n type) and CoP (p type). This work provides an efficient method to separate the photoinduced charge carriers and a new way for H2 evolution accompanied by transformation of HMF to DFF.

Abstract
The development of facile and green solution-phase routes toward the fabrication of TiO2-based heterophase junctions with a delicate control of phase and structure is a challenging task. Herein, we report a simple and convenient method to controllably fabricate TiO2(B)/anatase heterophase junctions, which was successfully realized by utilizing the ideal great solvent of water to treat the presynthesized TiO2(B) nanosheet precursor at a low temperature of 80 °C. On the basis of phase structure transformation and morphology evolution data, the formation of these TiO2(B)/anatase heterophase junctions was reasonably explained by a novel water-induced TiO2(B) → anatase phase transformation mechanism. Benefiting from the desirable structural and photoelectronic advantages of more exposed active sites, enhanced light absorbance, and promoted separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, the thus-transformed TiO2(B)/anatase heterophase junctions exhibit fascinating photocatalytic performance in water splitting. Specifically, with the help of Pt as a cocatalyst and methanol as a sacrificial agent, the H2 production rate of optimized TiO2(B)/anatase heterophase junction reaches 6.92 mmol·g-1·h-1, which is almost 7.1 and 2.1 times higher than those of the pristine TiO2(B) nanosheets and the final anatase nanocrystals. More interestingly, the TiO2(B)/anatase heterophase junction also delivers prominent activity toward pure water splitting to simultaneously produce H2 and H2O2, with evolution rates of up to 1.10 and 0.55 mmol·g-1·h-1, respectively. Our work may advance the facile green solvent-mediated synthesis of metal oxide-based heterophase junctions for applications in energy- and environmental-related areas.

Abstract
To enhance the photocatalytic activity, loading proper semiconductor with high efficiency and low cost is one of the most valid approaches. Herein, various amounts of CoWO4 as a novel metal-free material were loaded on Mn0.47Cd0.53S (MCS) nanorods for photocatalytic hydrogen production reaction. The CoWO4/Mn0.47Cd0.53S-25 (CW/MCS-25) exhibits the highest hydrogen production rate of 41.53 mmol·h-1·g-1 in the Na2S/Na2SO3 system, which is about 2.68 times higher than that of pristine MCS. The Mapping and HRTEM reveals the deposited of CoWO4 on the MCS. The detailed analyses of XPS, EIS, TRPL spectra and transient photocurrent responses indicate that CoWO4 and MCS interacted closely and the photogenerated electrons of CoWO4 can be transferred into MCS. In particular, the introduction of CoWO4 can further transfer the photogenerated holes of MCS, thereby inhibiting the photocorrosion of MCS and improving photocatalytic activity. This work provides a reference for the exploration of noble metal-free composite material and shows great potential in the photocatalytic application.
