Abstract
In the past decades, the amount of biomass waste has continuously increased in human living environments, and it has attracted more and more attention. Biomass is regarded as the most high-quality and cost-effective precursor material for the preparation carbon of adsorbents and catalysts. The application of biomass carbon has extensively explored. The efficient application of biomass carbon in organic wastewater purification were reviewed. With briefly introducing biomass types, the latest progress of Machine learning in guiding the preparation and application of biomass carbon was emphasized. The key factors in constructing efficient biomass carbon for adsorption and catalytic applications were discussed. Based on the functional groups, rich pore structure and active site of biomass carbon, it exhibits high efficiency in water purification performance in the fields of adsorption and catalysis. In addition, out of a firm belief in the enormous potential of biomass carbon, the remaining challenges and future research directions were discussed.

Abstract
Bi2O2CO3(BOC)/Bi4O5Br2(BOB)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) Z-scheme heterojunction with promising photocatalytic properties was synthesized via a facile one-pot room-temperature method. Ultra-thin nanosheets of BOC and BOB were grown in situ on rGO. The formed 2D/2D direct Z-scheme heterojunction of BOC/BOB with oxygen vacancies (OVs) effectively leads to lower negative electron reduction potential of BOB as well as higher positive hole oxidation potential of BOC, showing improved reduction/oxidation ability. Particularly, rGO is an acceptor of the electrons from the conduction band of BOC. Its dual roles significantly improve the transfer performance of photo-induced charge carriers and accelerate their separation. With layered nanosheet structure, rich OVs, high specific surface area, and increased utilization efficiency of visible light, the multiple synergistic effects of BOC/BOB/rGO can achieve effective generation and separation of the electron-holes, thereby generating more •O2- and h+. The photocatalytic reduction efficiency of CO2 to CO (12.91 µmol/(g·hr)) is three times higher than that of BOC (4.18 µmol/(g·hr)). Moreover, it also achieved almost 100% removal of Rhodamine B and cyanobacterial cells within 2 hours.

Sun Z, Amrillah T. Potential application of bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) when it meets light. NANOSCALE 2024; 16:5079-5106.

Abstract
Bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) is a kind of typical two-dimensional (2D) material that has been increasingly developed alongside other 2D materials such as graphene, MXenes, and transition-metal dichalcogenide. However, its potential applications have not been widely whispered compared to those of other 2D materials. Using its distinctive properties, BiOI can be used for various applications, especially when it meets sunlight and other light-related electromagnetic waves. In this present review, we discuss the developments of BiOI and challenges in the applications for photodetector and light-assisted sensors, photovoltaic devices, optoelectronic logic devices, as well as photocatalysts. We start the discussion with a basic understanding and development of BiOI, crystal structure, and its properties. The synthesis and further development, such as green synthesis and its challenges in the synthesis-suited industry, as well as device integration, are also explained together with a plausible strategy to enhance the feasibility of BiOI for those various applications. We believe that the provided discussion and perspectives will not only promote BiOI to be one of the highly considered 2D materials but can also assist recent graduates in any materials science discipline and inform the senior scientists and industrial-based stakeholders of the latest advances in bismuth oxide and mixed-anion compounds.

[PMID: 35973459 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.114068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Kitchen-waste-derived biochar (KBC) was produced by thermal treatment at 400 °C, and a series of KBC/BiOX (X = Br, Cl) photocatalysts were developed using ultrasonication and solvothermal treatment. The as-prepared photocatalysts were characterized by several tests and investigated by photocatalytic reactions towards methyl orange (MO) and tetracycline (TC). The best photocatalysts, 0.15KBC/BiOBr and 0.15KBC/BiOCl separately achieved complete MO photodegradation in 20 min and 35 min. Further study confirmed that 0.15KBC/BiOBr and 0.15KBC/BiOCl possessed excellent photocatalytic efficiency that was 17.9 and 14.8 times higher than BiOBr and BiOCl, respectively. In addition, 0.15KBC/BiOX showed higher activity removal of TC than pure BiOX in 60 min. Notably, 0.15KBC/BiOX maintained a reproducible high photocatalytic efficiency after five recycles. Estimated band gap energy for 0.15KBC/BiOBr (2.40 eV) and 0.15KBC/BiOCl (3.00 eV) was considerably lower than that of BiOBr (2.73 eV) and BiOCl (3.30 eV), indicating a delocalized state was created when forming electronic pathways on the interface. Besides, visible-light harvesting of photocatalysts got promoted by the modification of KBC. Active species trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) tests illustrated that photogenerated holes were the principal active species, while ∙OH was involved in the reaction. The successful synthesis of 0.15KBC/BiOX catalyst provided a new approach on simultaneously degrading organic contaminants in water and disposing of excessive kitchen waste.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 389:121827. [PMID: 31837938 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.121827] [Citation(s) in RCA: 74] [Impact Index Per Article: 18.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2019] [Revised: 12/03/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
In this work we report the production of Bi2WO6 loaded N-biochar composites (BW/N-B) for the removal of rhodamine-B and the reduction of Cr(VI) in water. Biochar was treated with urea to produce a N-modified biochar (N-Biochar), with great conductivity and special 2D sheet platform structure. Materials with different ratios of biochar and urea were produced. These materials were used as platform for supporting Bi2WO6. The characteristics of the as-prepared composites were investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FT-IR), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-DRS), Photoluminescence spectra (PL), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Mott-Schottky curves. After loading N-Biochar, the band gaps of the as-prepared composites were narrower than those of Bi2WO6, which could improve separation and migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs of BW/B-N under visible-light excitation, enhancing photocatalytic activity. BW/N1-B (ratio of urea to biochar 2:1 and 1 g/L) exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity for the degradation of 10 mg/L Rhodamine B (RhB) (99.1 %, 45 min) and reduction of Cr(VI) (96.7 %, 30 min) under visible-light irradiation. The results will provide a novel theoretical foundation on the application of biochar for photocatalysis and environmental remediation.

Abstract
In this work, the highly efficient and low-cost Ag-AgBr/AlOOH plasmonic photocatalyst is successfully prepared via a simple and mild wet-chemical process and used for degrading high concentration methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). The optimized 6-Ag-AgBr/AlOOH sample showed a 79% decomposition of TCH in 2 h, which is almost two times higher than that of bare AgBr (37%). For degrading MB, the photocatalytic activity of 6-Ag-AgBr/AlOOH (decomposing 84% in 2 h) showed a large enhancement as compared to bare AgBr (only 57%). The TEM, HRTEM, XRD, DRS, and XPS characterization results confirm that Ag-AgBr is a composite catalyst formed by loading Ag nanoparticles onto AgBr surfaces and then loaded on to AlOOH. The possible mechanism proposed is that •O 2 - and •OH radicals produced under sun light are the main active species for degrading MB and TCH. It is hoped that this work will open a new gateway to the synthesis of highly efficient and low-cost Ag-AgBr/AlOOH plasmonic photocatalysts for degrading organic pollutants.
