Abstract
Solar-driven carbon dioxide (CO2) conversion including photocatalytic (PC), photoelectrochemical (PEC), photovoltaic plus electrochemical (PV/EC) systems, offers a renewable and scalable way to produce fuels and high-value chemicals for environment and energy sustainability. This review summarizes the basic fundament and the recent advances in the field of solar-driven CO2 conversion. Expanding the visible-light absorption is an important strategy to improve solar energy conversion efficiency. The separation and migration of photogenerated charges carriers to surface sites and the surface catalytic processes also determine the photocatalytic performance. Surface engineering including co-catalyst loading, defect engineering, morphology control, surface modification, surface phase junction, and Z-scheme photocatalytic system construction, have become fundamental strategies to obtain high-efficiency photocatalysts. Similar to photocatalysis, these strategies have been applied to improve the conversion efficiency and Faradaic efficiency of typical PEC systems. In PV/EC systems, the electrode surface structure and morphology, electrolyte effects, and mass transport conditions affect the activity and selectivity of electrochemical CO2 reduction. Finally, the challenges and prospects are addressed for the development of solar-driven CO2 conversion system with high energy conversion efficiency, high product selectivity and stability.

Abstract
A sensing system for glucose was established based on a self-assembled copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs)-based nano-enzyme and glucose oxidase (GOD). The assembled copper nanosheets (Cu NSs) were prepared in a one-step method using 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorothiophenol (PFTP) as a reducing agent and protecting ligand. Cu NSs could be used to mimic the enzyme horseradish peroxidase. Cu NSs were endowed with excellent enzymatic catalytic activity in the oxidation of o-phenyldiamine (OPD) in the presence of H2O2. The latter could be generated in the aerobic oxidation of glucose catalyzed by GOD. Therefore, a detection method for glucose was constructed based on a Cu NSs-OPD-GOD catalytic system. This proposed sensing platform showed a standard linear range from 10 μM to 5 mM towards glucose, and the limit of detection was 5.5 μM. Finally, practical application of a sensor based on the Cu NSs nano-enzyme was verified in three sugared beverages as real samples. Our data reveal that the prepared Cu NSs could mimic peroxidase and be applied to a mixed catalytic system with GOD for glucose detection.

Abstract
The challenging environmental chemical and microbial pollution has always caused issues for human life. This article investigates the detailed mechanism of photodegradation and antimicrobial activity of oxide semiconductors and realizes the interface phenomena of nanostructures with toxins and bacteria. We demonstrate how oxygen vacancies in nanostructures affect photodegradation and antimicrobial behavior. Additionally, a novel method with a simple, tunable, and cost-effective synthesis of nanostructures for such applications is introduced to resolve environmental issues. The high-voltage, high-current electrical switching discharge (HVHC-ESD) system is a novel method that allows on-the-spot sub-second synthesis of nanostructures on top and in the water for wastewater decontamination. Experiments are done on rhodamine B as a common dye in wastewater to understand its photocatalytic degradation mechanism. Moreover, the antimicrobial mechanism of oxide semiconductors synthesized by the HVHC-ESD method with oxygen vacancies is realized on methicillin- and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. The results yield new insights into how oxygen ions in dyes and bacterial walls interact with the surface of ZnO with high oxygen vacancy, which results in breaking of the chemical structure of dyes and bacterial walls. This interaction leads to degradation of organic dyes and bacterial inactivation.

Abstract
In the present work, we present the preparation of a new emerged heterogeneous catalyst (PE/g-C3N4/CuO) by in situ deposition of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) over the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) as the active catalyst and polyester (PE) fabric as the inert support. The synthesized sample (PE/g-C3N4/CuO) "dip catalyst" was studied by using various analytical techniques (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy and dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The nanocomposite is utilized as heterogeneous catalysts for the 4-nitrophenol reduction in the presence of NaBH4, in aqueous solutions. According to experimental results, PE/g-C3N4/CuO with a surface of 6 cm2 (3 cm × 2 cm) demonstrated the catalyst exhibit excellent catalytic activity with 95% reduction efficiency for only 4 min of reaction and an apparent reaction rate constant (Kapp) of 0.8027 min-1. Further evidence that this catalyst based on prepared PE support can be a good contender for long-lasting chemical catalysis comes from the remarkable stability after 10 repetitions reaction cycles without a noticeably loss in catalytic activity. The novelty of this work consists to fabricate of catalyst based of CuO nanoparticles stabilized with g-C3N4 on the surface of an inert substrate PE, which results in an heterogenous dip-catalyst that can be easily introduced and isolated from the reaction solution with good retention of high catalytic performance in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol.

Abstract
The reckless use of non-replenishable fuels by the growing population for energy and the resultant incessant emissions of hazardous gases and waste products into the atmosphere have insisted that scientists fabricate materials capable of managing these global threats at once. In recent studies, photocatalysis has been employed to focus on utilizing renewable solar energy to initiate chemical processes with the aid of semiconductors and highly selective catalysts. A wide range of nanoparticles has showcased promising photocatalytic properties. Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) with sizes below 2 nm, stabilized by ligands, show discrete energy levels and exhibit unique optoelectronic properties, which are vital to photocatalysis. In this review, we intend to compile information on the synthesis, true nature, and stability of the MNCs decorated with ligands and the varying photocatalytic efficiency of metal NCs concerning changes in the aforementioned domains. The review discusses the photocatalytic activity of atomically precise ligand-protected MNCs and their hybrids in the domain of energy conversion processes such as the photodegradation of dyes, the oxygen evolution reaction (ORR), the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR).

Direct Interfacial Excitation from TiO 2 to Cu(II) Nanoclusters Enables Cathodic Photoresponse for Hydrogen Evolution under Visible-Light Irradiation.

Abstract
The titanium dioxide (TiO2 ) photocatalyst is only active under UV irradiation due to its wide-gap nature. A novel excitation pathway denoted as interfacial charge transfer (IFCT) has been reported to activate copper(II) oxide nanoclusters-loaded TiO2 powder (Cu(II)/TiO2 ) under visible-light irradiation for only organic decomposition (downhill reaction) so far. Here, the photoelectrochemical study shows that the Cu(II)/TiO2 electrode exhibits a cathodic photoresponse under visible-light and UV irradiation. It originates from H2 evolution on the Cu(II)/TiO2 electrode, while O2 evolution takes place on the anodic side. Based on the concept of IFCT, a direct excitation of electrons from the valence band of TiO2 to Cu(II) clusters initiates the reaction. This is the first demonstration of a direct interfacial excitation-induced cathodic photoresponse for water splitting without any addition of a sacrificial agent. This study is expected to contribute to the development of abundant visible-light-active photocathode materials for fuel production (uphill reaction).

Abstract
In this work, we have designed and synthesized nickel-laden dendritic plasmonic colloidosomes of Au (black gold-Ni). The photocatalytic CO2 hydrogenation activities of black gold-Ni increased dramatically to the extent that measurable photoactivity was only observed with the black gold-Ni catalyst, with a very high photocatalytic CO production rate (2464 ± 40 mmol gNi-1 h-1) and 95% selectivity. Notably, the reaction was carried out in a flow reactor at low temperature and atmospheric pressure without external heating. The catalyst was stable for at least 100 h. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy studies indicated indirect hot-electron transfer from the black gold to Ni in less than 100 fs, corroborated by a reduction in Au-plasmon electron-phonon lifetime and a bleach signal associated with Ni d-band filling. Photocatalytic reaction rates on excited black gold-Ni showed a superlinear power law dependence on the light intensity, with a power law exponent of 5.6, while photocatalytic quantum efficiencies increased with an increase in light intensity and reaction temperature, which indicated the hot-electron-mediated mechanism. The kinetic isotope effect (KIE) in light (1.91) was higher than that in the dark (∼1), which further indicated the electron-driven plasmonic CO2 hydrogenation. Black gold-Ni catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation in the presence of an electron-accepting molecule, methyl-p-benzoquinone, reduced the CO production rate, asserting the hot-electron-mediated mechanism. Operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) showed that CO2 hydrogenation took place by a direct dissociation path via linearly bonded Ni-CO intermediates. The outstanding catalytic performance of black gold-Ni may provide a way to develop plasmonic catalysts for CO2 reduction and other catalytic processes using black gold.

Abstract
Photocatalysis technology is a potential solution to solve the problem of environmental pollution and energy shortage, but its wide application is limited by the low efficiency of solar energy conversion. As a non-toxic and inexpensive n-type semiconductor, WO3 can absorb approximately 12% of sunlight which is considered one of the most attractive photocatalytic candidates. However, the narrow light absorption range and the high recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes restrict the further development of WO3-based catalysts. Herein, the studies on preparation and modification methods such as doping element, regulating defects and constructing heterojunctions to enlarge the range of excitation light to the visible region and slow down the recombination of carriers on WO3-based catalysts so as to improve their photocatalytic performance are reviewed. The mechanism and application of WO3-based catalysts in the dissociation of water, the degradation of organic pollutants, as well as the hydrogen reduction of N2 and CO2 are emphatically investigated and discussed. It is clear that WO3-based catalysts will play a positive role in the field of future photocatalysis. This paper could also provide guidance for the rational design of other metallic oxide (MOx) catalysts for the increasing conversion efficiency of solar energy.

Abstract
Suppressing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is an essential measure toward addressing global warming. Specifically, the photocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) is an effective strategy because it affords the conversion of CO2 into useful carbon feedstocks by using sunlight and water. However, the practical application of photocatalyst-promoting CRR (CRR photocatalysts) requires significant improvement of their conversion efficiency. Accordingly, extensive research is being conducted toward improving semiconductor photocatalysts, as well as cocatalysts that are loaded as active sites on the photocatalysts. In this review, we summarize recent research and development trends in the improvement of cocatalysts, which have a significant impact on the catalytic activity and selectivity of photocatalytic CRR. We expect that the advanced knowledge provided on the improvement of cocatalysts for CRR in this review will serve as a general guideline to accelerate the development of highly efficient CRR photocatalysts.

Abstract
Herein, fine and homogeneous Cu2O nanocubes are synthesized and sensitized with a hairpin-structured AS1411 aptamer for the establishment of a biosensor for lung cancer cell detection. The Apt-Cu2O nanocubes feature a recognition function in identifying a cancer-associated surface nucleolin protein. The intrinsic reduction catalytic ability is also confirmed by the use of two benchmark substrates, methylene blue (MB) and 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). The aptamer grafting on Apt-Cu2O nanocubes is able to greatly prevent nonspecific-protein binding and to show specificity toward the nucleolin protein. The specific binding resulting from nucleolin protein leads to less exposure of the active area of the Apt-Cu2O nanocubes, so the catalytic ability of Apt-Cu2O nanocubes is thus diminished. The modulated catalytic ability led to less generation of the reduced 4-AP product, and the change in absorption of 4-AP allows the quantification of the nucleolin protein with a detection limit of 0.47 nM. The as-developed biosensor is applied to the detection of nucleolin-overexpressed A549 lung cancer cells, presenting a sensitive detection limit down to 20 cells. This may be ascribed to the clustering of surface nucleolin protein in a lipid raft membrane of cancer cells, as evidenced by a notable binding of Apt-Cu2O nanocubes on the cancer cell surface. Real human serum samples spiked with cancer cells were also investigated, and a recovery rate of 87 ± 2.4% for 20 extracted cells validates the surface-modulated Apt-Cu2O nanocubes-based catalytic optical biosensor as a promising tool for the detection of circulating tumor cells. The establishment of the Apt-Cu2O nanocubes may allow for further studies on their use as a potential theranostics tool for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Although pure and functionalized solid-state polyniobates such as layered perovskites and niobate nanosheets are photocatalysts for renewable-energy processes, analogous reactions by molecular polyoxoniobate cluster-anions are nearly absent from the literature. We now report that under simulated solar light, hexaniobate cluster-anion encapsulated 30-NiII -ion "fragments" of surface-protonated cubic-phase-like NiO cores activate the hexaniobate ligands towards CO2 reduction by water. Photoexcitation of the NiO cores promotes charge-transfer reduction of NbV to NbIV , increasing electron density at bridging oxo atoms of Nb-μ-O-Nb linkages that bind and convert CO2 to CO. Photogenerated NiO "holes" simultaneously oxidize water to dioxygen. The findings point to molecular complexation of suitable semiconductor "fragments" as a general method for utilizing electron-dense polyoxoniobate anions as nucleophilic photocatalysts for solar-light driven activation and reduction of small molecules.

Abstract
Artificially simulated photosynthesis has created substantial curiosity as the majority of efforts in this arena have been aimed to upsurge solar fuel efficiencies for commercialization. The layered inorganic 2D nanosheets offer considerably higher tunability of their chemical surface, physicochemical properties and catalytic activity. Despites the intrinsic advantages of such metal-based materials viz., metal oxides, transition metal dichalcogenides, metal oxyhalides, metal organic frameworks, layered double hydroxide, MXene's, boron nitride, black phosphorous and perovskites, studies on such systems are limited for applications in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. The role of metal-based layers for CO2 conversion and new strategies such as surface modifications, defect generation and heterojunctions to optimize their functionalities are discussed in this review. Research prospects and technical challenges for future developments of layered 2D metal-based nanomaterials are critically discussed.

Abstract
Copper oxide (Cu2O) is a potential material as a catalyst for CO2 reduction. Cu2O nanostructures have many advantages, including interfacial charge separation and transportation, enhanced surface area, quantum efficiency, and feasibility of modification via composite development or integration of the favorable surface functional groups. We cover the current advancements in the synthesis of Cu2O nanomaterials in various morphological dimensions and their photochemical and electrochemical applications, which complies with the physical enrichment of their enhanced activity in every application they are employed in. The scope of fresh designs, namely composites or the hierarchy of copper oxide nanostructures, and various ways to improve CO2 reduction performance are also discussed in this review. Photochemical and electrochemical CO2 transformations have received tremendous attention in the last few years, thanks to the growing interest in renewable sources of energy and green facile chemistry. The current review provides an idea of current photochemical and electrochemical carbon dioxide fixing techniques by using Cu2O-based materials. Carboxylation and carboxylative cyclization, yield valuable chemicals such as carboxylic acids and heterocyclic compounds. Radical ions, which are induced by photo- and electrochemical reactions, as well as other high-energy organic molecules, are regarded as essential mid-products in photochemical and electrochemical reactions with CO2. It has also been claimed that CO2 can be activated to form radical anions.

Abstract
The chemical transformation of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) has been considered as a promising strategy to utilize and further upgrade it to value-added chemicals, aiming at alleviating global warming. In this regard, sustainable driving forces (i.e., electricity and sunlight) have been introduced to convert CO2 into various chemical feedstocks. Electrocatalytic CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) can generate carbonaceous molecules (e.g., formate, CO, hydrocarbons, and alcohols) via multiple-electron transfer. With the assistance of extra light energy, photoelectrocatalysis effectively improve the kinetics of CO2 conversion, which not only decreases the overpotentials for CO2 RR but also enhances the lifespan of photo-induced carriers for the consecutive catalytic process. Recently, rational-designed catalysts and advanced characterization techniques have emerged in these fields, which make CO2 -to-chemicals conversion in a clean and highly-efficient manner. Herein, this review timely and thoroughly discusses the recent advancements in the practical conversion of CO2 through electro- and photoelectrocatalytic technologies in the past 5 years. Furthermore, the recent studies of operando analysis and theoretical calculations are highlighted to gain systematic insights into CO2 RR. Finally, the challenges and perspectives in the fields of CO2 (photo)electrocatalysis are outlined for their further development.

Abstract
Hierarchical nanostructures and the effects of ligands on their structure formation were investigated. Morphological analysis showed the change in the morphology from nanospindles to hollow hexagonal nanodisks with the change in ligands. Structural analysis exhibited the formation of both hexagonal ZnO and monoclinic CuO structures in the composition. The elemental composition confirms the presence of CuO and ZnO in the composition. An ultra-fast degradation was achieved for the nanocomposites. The ZnO/CuO composite with ethylenediamine showed the best activity by degrading 98.77% of the methylene blue dye in 36 min. A possible photocatalytic mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
Amorphous inorganic semiconductors have attracted growing interest due to their unique electrical and optical properties that arise from their intrinsic disordered structure and thermodynamic metastability. Recently, amorphous inorganic semiconductors have been applied in a variety of new technologies, including solar cells, photoelectrocatalysis, and photocatalysis. It has been reported that amorphous phases can improve both efficiency and stability in these applications. While these phenomena are well established, their mechanisms have long remained unclear. This review first introduces the general background of amorphous inorganic semiconductor properties and synthesis. Then, the recent successes and current challenges of amorphous inorganic semiconductor-based materials for applications in solar cells, photoelectrocatalysis, and photocatalysis are addressed. In particular, we discuss the mechanisms behind the remarkable performances of amorphous inorganic semiconductors in these fields. Finally, we provide insightful perspectives into further developments for applications of amorphous inorganic semiconductors.

Abstract
Rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide due to the burning and depletion of fossil fuels is continuously raising environmental concerns about global warming and the future of our energy supply. Renewable energy, especially better utilization of solar energy, is a promising method for CO2 conversion and chemical storage. Research in the solar fuels area is focused on designing novel catalysts and developing new conversion pathways. In this review, we focus on the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 primarily in its neutral pH species of carbonate to formate. The first two-electron photoproduct of carbon dioxide, a case for formate (or formic acid) is made in this review based on its value as; an important chemical feedstock, a hydrogen storage material, an intermediate to methanol, a high-octane fuel and broad application in fuel cells. This review focuses specifically on the following photocatalysts: semiconductors, phthalocyanines as photosensitizers and membrane devices and metal-organic frameworks.

Abstract
Photocatalysis is an effective technology for preventing the spread of pandemic-scale viruses. This review paper presents an overview of the recent progress in the development of an efficient visible light-sensitive photocatalyst, i.e., a copper oxide nanoclusters grafted titanium dioxide (CuxO/TiO2). The antiviral CuxO/TiO2 photocatalyst is functionalised by a different mechanism in addition to the photocatalytic oxidation process. The CuxO nanocluster consists of the valence states of Cu(I) and Cu(II); herein, the Cu(I) species denaturalizes the protein of the virus, thereby resulting in significant antiviral properties even under dark conditions. Moreover, the Cu(II) species in the CuxO nanocluster serves as an electron acceptor through photo-induced interfacial charge transfer, which leads to the formation of an anti-virus Cu(I) species and holes with strong oxidation power in the valence band of TiO2 under visible-light irradiation. The antiviral function of the CuxO/TiO2 photocatalyst is maintained under indoor conditions, where light illumination is enabled during the day but not during the night; this is because the remaining active Cu(I) species works under dark conditions. The CuxO/TiO2 photocatalyst can thus be used to reduce the risk of virus infection by acting as an antiviral coating material.

Abstract
Here, we present a novel method to control the size of CuO nanoparticles (NPs) and Cu loading in SBA-15 via fast desorption of supercritical CO2 (scCO2). After calcination, the average size of the CuO NPs (6.47 ± 2.89∼2.18 ± 0.97 nm) decreased with the increase of the depressurization rate (20-14 MPa, 50 °C) from transmission electron microscopy, and the x-ray diffraction results also indicated the decrement of the average particle size (8.6∼4.3 nm by a Scherrer equation). Two reduction peaks situated at 195 °C and 220 °C were found from the temperature-programmed reductions with H2 profiles, and the intensity of the low-temperature peak increased with increasing the rate for a profile. The hydrogenation of dimethyl oxalate (DMO) to ethylene glycol (EG) was selected to evaluate the catalytic activity of the as-prepared sample. The reaction was conducted at p = 3.0 MPa, T = 200 °C, H2/DMO = 120, the weight hourly space velocity = 1.2 h-1, and the EG selectivity remained at about 90% for over 100 h. The fast desorption of scCO2 caused mechanical perturbations and crystallization of the adsorbed salt ions on the supports, decreasing the particle size and increasing Cu loading (8∼12 wt%).

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added chemical fuels is a promising approach to address the depletion of fossil energy and environment-related concerns. Tailor-making the electronic properties and band structures of photocatalysts is pivotal to improve their efficiency and selectivity in photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, a covalent triazine-based framework was developed containing electron-donor triphenylamine and electron-acceptor triazine components (DA-CTF). The engineered π-conjugated electron donor-acceptor dyads in DA-CTF not only optimized the optical bandgap but also contributed to visible-light harvesting and migration of photoexcited charge carriers. The activity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction under visible light was significantly improved compared with that of traditional g-C3 N4 and reported covalent triazine-based frameworks. This study provides molecular-level insights into the mechanism of photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
The preparation of lamellar nanostructures through exfoliation of stacked niobates is an interesting approach to the development of photocatalysts for energy conversion and environmental remediation. These materials exhibit a rich surface chemistry and several nanocomposites can be produced through intercalation or impregnation of suitable precursors. In this work, the influence of the physico-chemical preparation conditions on the photocatalytic activity of Pt-hexaniobate nanocomposites was investigated aiming at the establishment of the main factors that control their photoreactivities. Modification of hexaniobate layers were carried out by adsorption and impregnation methods, using [Pt(NH3)4]Cl2 (Pt1) and H2PtCl6 (Pt2), respectively. The addition of platinum precursors (1% wt.) were performed in the presence of the exfoliating agent tert-butylammonium hydroxide, sNb, or after acidic precipitation followed by resuspension in plain water, eNb. All samples were submitted to photoirradiation to reduce the platinum precursors and the effect of a previous thermal treatment was also evaluated. It was observed that H2 evolution from aqueous methanol solutions is more favored on hexaniobate nanosheets (eNb-Pt1 and eNb-Pt2) instead of scrolled layers (sNb-Pt1 and sNb-Pt2), independent on the platinum precursor. Moreover, residual tert-butylammonium can act as hole scavenger and decrease the degradation rates for methanol oxidation in sNb samples. The curled layers observed for sNb samples seem to favor the photodegradation of cationic species, such as methylene blue. Thermal treatment at 500 °C leads to morphological changes with a decrease of the specific surface area due to restacking of the individual layers along with some curling. As a result, the H2 evolution rates strongly decreases in relation to the non-sintered samples, suggesting that the 'soft' photoreduction of platinum precursors is the best method for preparation of these photocatalysts. The correlations between the preparation conditions and the photocatalytic activity for different photoreactions can allow the development of optimized materials for specific applications.

Abstract
Cu2 O/gas diffusion layer (GDL) electrodes prepared by electrodeposition were studied for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 . The designed electrode was also tested in solar-light-induced CO2 conversion in combination with a CuO/NtTiO2 photoanode using a compact photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) cell. Both PEC cell electrodes were prepared using non-critical raw materials and low cost, easily scalable procedures. In the PEC experiments, a total carbon faradaic selectivity of about 90 % to formate and about 75 % to acetate was obtained after 24 h of operations without application of potential/current or using sacrificial agents. In electrocatalytic tests of CO2 reduction at -1.5 V, the same electrode yielded high total faradaic selectivity (>95 %) but formed selectively formate (about 80 % selectivity) rather than acetate. The in situ transformation of the Cu2 O/GDL electrode leads to the formation of a hybrid Cu2 O-Cu/GDL system. Cyclic voltammetry data indicate that the potential and the presence of CO2 (not only of HCO3 - species) are both important elements in this transformation. Data also indicate that the surface concentration of CO2 (or of its products of transformation) on the electrode is an important factor to determine performance in the conversion of CO2 .

Abstract
Copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) nanoparticles (NPs) are selectively prepared in high yields under continuous flow in a vortex fluidic device (VFD), involving irradiation of a copper rod using a pulsed laser operating at 1064 nm and 600 mJ. The plasma plume generated inside a glass tube (20 mm O.D.), which is rapidly rotating (7.5 k rpm), reacts with the enclosed air in the microfluidic platform, with then high mass transfer of material into the dynamic thin film of water passing up the tube. The average size of the generated Cu2ONPs is 14 nm, and they are converted to copper(II) oxide (CuO) nanoparticles with an average diameter of 11 nm by heating the as-prepared solution of Cu2ONPs in air at 50 °C for 10 h.

Abstract
A high recombination rate and low charge collection are the main limiting factors of copper oxides (cupric and cuprous oxide) for the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants. In this paper, a high performance copper oxide photocatalyst was developed by integrating cupric oxide (CuO) and cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin films, which showed superior performance for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) compared to the control CuO and Cu2O photocatalyst. Our results show that a heterojunction photocatalyst of CuO–Cu2O thin films could significantly increase the charge collection, reduce the recombination rate, and improve the photocatalytic activity.

Abstract
Searching for highly active and efficient photocatalysts for photo-induced/photo-assisted reactions remains the most challenging task for solar energy utilization. In previous studies, the search for such materials has mainly focused on precious plasmonic metals (for example, Au, Ag, and Cu) and semiconductor oxides (for example, TiO2 , ZnO, and WO3 ). Herein, we report the application of hexagonal tantalum mononitride (TaN) as an optical support in photocatalytic reactions, which could harness visible light to assist CO2 conversion and decompose organic pollutants. Theoretical studies indicated that the improved electron-hole separation in polar TaN under visible-light illumination was critical for its use in photocatalysis. This study could guide the use of TaN in various photocatalytic reactions and wider optical applications.
