Abstract
We have synthesized disordered double perovskite Gd2CoCrO6 (GCCO) nanoparticles with an average particle size of 71 ± 3 nm by adopting a citrate sol-gel method to investigate their structural, magnetic, and optical properties. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern showed that GCCO is crystallized in a monoclinic structure with space group P21/n, which is further confirmed by Raman spectroscopic analysis. The absence of perfect long-range ordering between Co and Cr ions is confirmed by the mixed valence states of Co and Cr. A Néel transition was observed at a higher temperature of TN = 105 K compared to that of an analogous double perovskite Gd2FeCrO6 due to a greater degree of magnetocrystalline anisotropy of Co than Fe. Magnetization reversal (MR) behavior with a compensation temperature of Tcomp = 30 K was also observed. The hysteresis loop obtained at 5 K exhibited the presence of both ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) domains. Super-exchange and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions between various cations via oxygen ligands are responsible for the observed FM or AFM ordering in the system. Furthermore, UV-visible and photoluminescence spectroscopy demonstrated the semiconducting nature of GCCO with a direct optical bandgap of 2.25 eV. The Mulliken electronegativity approach revealed the potential applicability of GCCO nanoparticles in photocatalytic H2 and O2 evolution from water. Due to a favorable bandgap and potentiality as a photocatalyst, GCCO can be a promising new member of double perovskite materials for photocatalytic and related solar energy applications.

Abstract
The quantification of 3-nitro-l-tyrosine (NO2-Tyr), an in vivo biomarker of nitrosative stress, is indispensable for the clinical intervention of various inflammatory disorders caused by nitrosative stress. By integrating the unique features of BiVO4 and MoS2 with matching bandgap energies, electrode materials with amplified response signals can be developed. In this regard, we introduce a hydrothermally synthesized bismuth vanadate sheathed molybdenum disulfide (MoS2@BiVO4) heterojunction as a highly sensitive electrode material for the determination of NO2-Tyr. Excellent electrochemical behavior perceived for the MoS2@BiVO4 augments the performance of the sensor and allows the measurement of NO2-Tyr in biological media without any time-consuming pretreatments. The synergistic interactions between BiVO4 and MoS2 heterojunctions contribute to low resistance charge transfer (Rct = 159.13 Ω·cm2), a reduction potential Epc = -0.58 V (vs Ag/AgCl), and a good response range (0.001-526.3 μM) with a lower limit of detection (0.94 nM) toward the detection of NO2-Tyr. An improved active surface area, reduced charge recombination, and high analyte adsorption contribute to the high loading of the biomarker for improved selectivity (in the presence of 10 interfering compounds), operational stability (1000 s), and reproducibility (six various modified electrodes). The proposed sensor was successfully utilized for the real-time determination of NO2-Tyr in water, urine, and saliva samples with good recovery values (±98.94-99.98%), ascertaining the reliability of the method. It is noteworthy that the electrochemical activity remains unaffected by other redox interferons, thus leading to targeted sensing applications.

Abstract
An efficient BiVO4nanocatalyst with Erbium (Er) and Yttrium (Y) doping was synthesized via a facile microwave irradiation route and the obtained materials were further characterized through various techniques such as p-XRD, FT-IR, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, UV-Vis DRS, PL, LSV, and EISanalysis. The obtained results revealed that the rare metals induce the stabilization of the monoclinic-tetragonal crystalline structure with a distinct morphology. The yttrium doped BiVO4 (Y-BiVO4) monoclinic-tetragonal exhibited anefficient photoelectrochemical water splitting and photocatalytic performanceare compared to bare BiVO4. TheY-BiVO4 indicated increased results of photocurrent of 0.43 mA/cm2and bare BiVO40.24 mA/cm2. Also, the Y-doped BiVO4 nanocatalyst showed the maximum photocatalytic activity for the degradation of MB, MO, and RhB. A maximum degradation of 93%, 85%, and 91% was achieved for MB, MO, and RhB respectively, within 180 min under the visible light illumination. The photocatalytic decomposition of acetaldehyde also was performed. The improved photoelectrochemical water splitting and photocatalytic activity are due to the narrowing the bandgap, leading to extending the photoabsorption capability and reducing the recombination rate of photoexcited electron-hole pairs through the formation inner energy state of the rare earth metals. The current study disclosed that the synthesis of nanomaterials with crystal modification could be a prospectivecontender forhydrogen energy production as well as to the photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants.To the best of our knowledge, both photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical studies were never been reported before for this type of material.

Abstract
Bi5O7I belongs to the family of bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX, X = Cl, Br, I), having a unique layered structure with an internal electrostatic field that promotes the separation and transfer of photo-generated charge carriers. Interestingly, Bi5O7I exhibits higher thermal stability compared to its other BiOX member compounds and absorption spectrum extended to the visible region. Bi5O7I has demonstrated applications in diverse fields such as photocatalytic degradation of various organic pollutants, marine antifouling, etc. Unfortunately, owing to its wide band gap of ∼2.9 eV, its absorption lies mainly in the ultraviolet region, and a tiny portion of absorption lies in the visible region. Due to limited absorption, the photocatalytic performance of pure Bi5O7I is still facing challenges. In order to reduce the band gap and increase the light absorption capability of Bi5O7I, doping and formation of heterostructure strategies have been employed, which showed promising results in the photocatalytic performance. In addition, the plasmonic heterostructures of Bi5O7I were also developed to further boost the efficiency of Bi5O7I as a photocatalyst. Here, in this review article, we present such recent efforts made for the advanced development of Bi5O7I regarding its synthesis, properties and applications. The strategies for photocatalytic performance enhancement have been discussed in detail. Moreover, in the conclusion section, we have presented the current challenges and discussed possible prospective developments in this field.

Abstract
Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Bi5O7I uniform porous microsphere photocatalysts were synthesized by a two-step chemical method, which possesses excellent photocatalytic performance and upconversion luminescence property. The photocatalytic performance of the photocatalysts was studied by degradation of bisphenol A in aqueous solution under visible light and different monochromatic light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Bi5O7I sample is better than that of the pristine Bi5O7I and Er3+-doped Bi5O7I samples. Moreover, Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Bi5O7I possesses photocatalytic ability with a red light monochromatic LED lamp (3 W, λ = 630 nm) and an infrared monochromatic LED lamp (100 W, λ = 940 nm) irradiation whose wavelength is longer than the absorption-limiting wavelength of pristine Bi5O7I sample. This phenomenon further verified that the upconversion property of Er3+ and Yb3+ causes the improved photocatalytic efficiency of Er3+/Yb3+ co-doped Bi5O7I sample.

Unraveling the impact of the Pd nanoparticle@BiVO 4/S-CN heterostructure on the photo-physical & opto-electronic properties for enhanced catalytic activity in water splitting and one-pot three-step tandem reaction. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2019; 1:1395-1412.

Abstract
Herein, a Pd nanoparticle-embedded SBVCN-37 heterostructure photocatalyst was synthesized and employed in the water-splitting reaction and for the synthesis of imines via a one-pot tandem reaction involving the photocatalytic reduction of nitrobenzene and oxidation of benzyl alcohol, followed by their condensation reaction. The embedded Pd nanoparticles (mean diameter ∼ 5-7 nm) act as an electron mediator and enhance the catalytic activity of SBVCN-37 during the oxidation and reduction reactions. The experimental results confirm that the light-induced holes owing to the favourable redox potential of the catalyst oxidize N2H4 to N2 and liberate H+ ions, which subsequently react with photogenerated electrons to facilitate the reduction of nitrobenzene. The obtained quantum yields for benzyl alcohol oxidation and nitrobenzene reduction were calculated to be 2.08% and 6.53% at λ = 420 nm light illumination, respectively. Furthermore, the obtained apparent quantum yields for the OER and HER were calculated to be 10.22% and 12.72% at 420 nm, respectively, indicating the excellent potential of the investigated photocatalyst for solar fuel production. Photoelectrochemical (PEC) and time-resolved and steady-state photoluminescence measurements reveal that the optimum amount of Pd nanoparticles over SBVCN-37 is the crucial factor for achieving the highest photocurrent response, lowest charge transfer resistance, and efficient carrier mobility, leading to prominent catalytic activity. Furthermore, the Mott-Schottky (M-S) analysis confirmed that the deposition of Pd nanoparticles effectively reduced the over-potential and fine-tuned the band edge potential required for the HER and OER reactions, respectively.

Abstract
The porous single-crystal-like micro/nanomaterials exhibited splendid intrinsic performance in photocatalysts, dye-sensitized solar cells, gas sensors, lithium cells, and many other application fields. Here, a novel mesoporous single-crystal-like Bi2WO6 tetragonal architecture was first achieved in the mixed molten salt system. Its crystal construction mechanism originated from the oriented attachment of nanosheet units accompanied by Ostwald ripening process. Additionally, the synergistic effect of mixed alkali metal nitrates and electrostatic attraction caused by internal electric field in crystal played a pivotal role in oriented attachment process of nanosheet units. The obtained sample displayed superior photocatalytic activity of both organic dye degradation and O2 evolution from water under visible light. We gained an insight into this unique architecture's impact on the physical properties, light absorption, photoelectricity, and luminescent decay, etc., that significantly influenced photocatalytic activity.
