Abstract
The development of low-cost and efficient metal sulfide photocatalysts through morphological and structural design is vital to the advancement of the hydrogen economy. However, metal sulfide semiconductor photocatalysts still suffer from low carrier separation and poor solar-to-hydrogen conversion efficiencies. Herein, two-dimensional ZnIn2S4 nanosheets were grown on Zn0.5Cd0.5S hollow nanocages to construct Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4 hollow nanocages for the first time. Novel hollow core-shell Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4/MoS2 nanocages with Z-scheme heterojunction structures were obtained by incorporating MoS2 nanosheet co-catalyst via the solvothermal method. The resulting Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4/MoS2 exhibited unique structural and compositional advantages, leading to remarkable photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates of up to 8.5 mmol·h-1·g-1 without the use of any precious metal co-catalysts. This rate was 10.6-fold and 7.1-fold higher compared to pure ZnIn2S4 and Zn0.5Cd0.5S, respectively. Moreover, the optimized Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4/MoS2 photocatalyst outperformed numerous reported ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts and some ZnIn2S4-based photocatalysts based on precious metal co-catalysts. The exceptional photocatalytic performance of Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4/MoS2 can be attributed to the Z-scheme heterojunction of core-shell structure that enhanced charge carrier separation and transport, as well as the co-catalytic action of MoS2. Overall, the proposed Zn0.5Cd0.5S@ZnIn2S4/MoS2 with heterojunction structure is a promising candidate for the preparation of efficient photocatalysts for solar-to-hydrogen energy conversion.

J Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 652:2147-2158. [PMID: 37703684 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.08.159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 07/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
CuAl layered double hydroxide (LDH) and polymeric carbon nitride (g-C3N4, GCNN) were assembled to construct a set of novel 2D/2D CuAl-LDH/GCNN heterostructures. These materials were tested towards H2 and O2 generation from water splitting using visible-light irradiation. Compared to pristine materials, the heterostructures displayed strongly enhanced visible-light H2 evolution, dependent on the LDH content, which acts as a cocatalyst, replacing the benchmark Pt. The optimal LDH loading was achieved for 0.2CuAl-LDH/GCNN that exhibited an increased number of active sites and showed a trade-off between charge separation efficiency and light shading, resulting in a 32-fold increase in the amount of evolved H2 compared with GCNN. In addition, the 0.2CuAl-LDH/GCNN heterostructure generated 1.5 times more O2 than GCNN. The higher photocatalytic performance was due to efficient charge carriers' separation at the heterojunction interface via an S-scheme (corroborated by work function, steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence studies), enhanced utilisation of longer-wavelength photons (>460 nm) and higher surface area available for the catalytic reactions.

Abstract
Photocatalytic degradation has emerged as one of the most efficient methods to eliminate toxic dyes from wastewater. In this context, graphitic nitride (g-C3N4) loaded BiVO4 nanocomposites (5 wt% g-CN@BiVO4 and 10 wt% g-CN@BiVO4) have been fabricated by the wet impregnation method, and their efficiency towards photocatalytic removal of rhodamine B have been investigated under visible light irradiation. These hybrid composites have been characterized by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, EDS-mapping, UV-Vis DRS, DLS, XPS and BET, etc. The HRTEM images revealed that BiVO4 has a decagonal shape covered by a layered nanosheet-like structure of g-C3N4. BET measurements suggest increasing the proportion of g-C3N4 results enhancement of the specific surface area. Among different photocatalysts, the 10 wt% g-C3N4@BiVO4 hybrid possesses the best catalytic activity with 86% degradation efficiency after 60 min of reaction time. The LC-MS studies suggest that the degradation reactions follow the de-ethylation pathway. Even after five cycles, the heterostructure shows only a 14% decrease in photocatalytic activity, confirming its stability. As a result, the binary composite can be regarded as a promising catalyst for the degradation of pollutants due to its ease of preparation, high stability and superior catalytic activity.

Abstract
The development of efficient, stable, and visible-light-responsive photocatalysts is crucial to address the pollution of water bodies by toxic heavy metal ions and organic antibiotics. Herein, a series of LaNi1-xFexO3/g-C3N4 heterojunction photocatalysts are prepared by a simple wet chemical method. Moreover, LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 composites are characterized by various methods, including structure, morphology, optical, and electrochemical methods and tetracycline degradation and photocatalytic reduction of Cr(VI) under visible light irradiation. Then, the photocatalytic performance of as-prepared LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 composites is evaluated. Compared with pure LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3 and g-C3N4, the LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts exhibit excellent photocatalytic performance due to synergy of doping and constructing heterojunctions. The results show that the doping of Fe ions can increase the concentration of oxygen vacancies, which is ultimately beneficial to the formation of electron traps. Moreover, the type-II heterojunction formed between LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3 and g-C3N4 effectively strengthens the separation and transfer of photoinduced carriers, thereby promoting photocatalytic activity. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of the LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 photocatalyst remains almost unchanged after three cycles, indicating long-term stability. Ultimately, the photocatalytic mechanism of the LaNi0.8Fe0.2O3/g-C3N4 composites is proposed.

Abstract
Solar-driven advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) via direct photodegradation or indirect photocatalytic activation of typical oxidants, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), peroxymonosulfate (PMS), and peroxydisulfate (PDS), have been deemed to be an efficient technology for wastewater remediation. Artificial Z-scheme structured materials represent a promising class of photocatalysts due to their spatially separated charge carriers and strong redox abilities. Herein, we summarize the development of metal-free graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4, CN)-based direct and indirect Z-scheme photocatalysts for solar-driven AOPs in removing organic pollutants from water. In the work, the classification of AOPs, definition and validation of Z-schemes are summarized firstly. The innovative engineering strategies (e.g., morphology and dimensionality control, element doping, defect engineering, cocatalyst loading, and tandem Z-scheme construction) over CN-based direct Z-scheme structure are then examined. Rational design of indirect CN-based Z-scheme systems using different charge mediators, such as solid conductive materials and soluble ion pairs, is further discussed. Through examining the relationship between the Z-scheme structure and activity (charge transfer and separation, light absorption, and reaction kinetics), we aim to provide more insights into the construction strategies and structure modification on CN-based Z-schemes towards improving their catalytic performances in AOPs. Lastly, limitations, challenges, and perspectives on future development in this emerging field are proposed.

Covalent Modification of Iron Phthalocyanine into Skeleton of Graphitic Carbon Nitride and Its Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Reduction of Nitroaromatic Compounds. Catalysts 2022.

Abstract
It is of great urgency to eliminate nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) in wastewater due to their high residue and toxicity. Photocatalysis reduction is considered to be an efficient technology for converting NACs to their corresponding aromatic amines. In this work, a visible-light-driven hybrid photocatalyst was synthesized by covalently doping Fe phthalocyanine (FePc) into graphitic carbon nitride skeleton. Compared to the pristine gCN, the optimized gCN-FePc-1 photocatalyst showed enhanced absorption in visible light region, which promoted photogenerated charge transfer and separation. Using p-nitrophenol (p-NP) as the model pollutant, the CN-FePc-1 effectively reduced it to p-aminophenol (p-AP), with the photocatalytic reaction rate being 18 and 3 times higher, respectively, than those of the pristine gCN and the mechanically mixed photocatalyst of gCN/FePc. Moreover, excellent photocatalytic universality for other NACs, high stability, and good reusability also were confirmed. Based on the band structure of the gCN-FePc-1 photocatalyst, a plausible mechanism was proposed to illustrate the photocatalytic reduction process of p-NP to p-AP. This study demonstrates that the covalent modification of FePc into gCN skeleton is an effective strategy to modulate the electronic structure, and the hybrid gCN-FePc is a potential visible-light-driven photocatalyst that potentially can be used for eliminating NAC contamination in wastewater.
