Phosphorene-Based Heterostructured Photocatalysts

Semiconductor photocatalysis is a potential pathway to solve the problems of global energy shortage and environmental pollution. Black phosphorus (BP) has been widely used in the field of photocatalysis owing to its features of high hole mobility, adjustable bandgap, and wide optical absorption range. Nevertheless, pristine BP still exhibits unsatisfactory photocatalytic activity due to the low separation efficiency of photoinduced charge carriers. In recent years, the construction of heterostructured photocatalysts based on BP has become a research hotspot in photocatalysis with the remarkable improvement of photoexcited charge-separation efficiency. Herein, progress on the design, synthesis, properties, and applications of BP and its corresponding heterostructured photocatalysts is summarized. Furthermore, the photocatalytic applications of BP-based heterostructured photocatalysts in water splitting, pollutant degradation, carbon dioxide reduction, nitrogen fixation, bacterial disinfection, and organic synthesis are reviewed. Opportunities and challenges for the exploration of advanced BP-based heterostructured photocatalysts are presented. This review will promote the development and applications of BP-based heterostructured photocatalysts in energy conversion and environmental remediation.     

Enhancement of Solar‐Driven Photocatalytic Activity of BiOI Nanosheets through Predominant Exposed High Energy Facets and Vacancy Engineering

The increasing application of exposed high energy facet is an effective strategy to improve the photocatalytic performance of photocatalysts because the vacancies are beneficial to photocatalytic reaction. Vacancy dominates numerous distinct properties of semiconductor materials and thus plays a conclusive role in the photocatalysis applications. In this work, two kinds of BiOI nanomaterials with different vacancies are synthesized via a facile solvothermal method. The positron annihilation analysis shows that the thinner BiOI nanosheets possess larger‐sized vacancy than BiOI nanoplates. Thus, BiOI nanosheets show the enhanced separation efficiency of electron–hole pairs and adsorption ability for contaminants under visible light. The results are also validated with the first‐principle computation. Therefore, higher photocatalytic activity to the photodegradation of tetracycline is observed from the nanosheets than that obtained from BiOI nanoplates. This work not only arouses attention to vacancies, but also opens up an avenue for precision design of vacancies to prepare novel photocatalytic materials driven under solar light.     

Tantalum (Oxy)Nitride: Narrow Bandgap Photocatalysts for Solar Hydrogen Generation

Photocatalytic water splitting, which directly converts solar energy into hydrogen, is one of the most desirable solar-energy-conversion approaches. The ultimate target of photocatalysis is to explore efficient and stable photocatalysts for solar water splitting. Tantalum (oxy)nitride-based materials are a class of the most promising photocatalysts for solar water splitting because of their narrow bandgaps and sufficient band energy potentials for water splitting. Tantalum (oxy)nitride-based photocatalysts have experienced intensive exploration, and encouraging progress has been achieved over the past years. However, the solar-to-hydrogen (STH) conversion efficiency is still very far from its theoretical value. The question of how to better design these materials in order to further improve their water-splitting capability is of interest and importance. This review summarizes the development of tantalum (oxy)nitride-based photocatalysts for solar water spitting. Special interest is paid to important strategies for improving photocatalytic water-splitting efficiency. This paper also proposes future trends to explore in the research area of tantalum-based narrow bandgap photocatalysts for solar water splitting.     

Modulation of Bi2MoO6‐Based Materials for Photocatalytic Water Splitting and Environmental Application: a Critical Review

Highly active photocatalysts driving chemical reactions are of paramount importance toward renewable energy substitutes and environmental protection. As a fascinating Aurivillius phase material, Bi₂MoO₆ has been the hotspot in photocatalytic applications due to its visible light absorption, nontoxicity, low cost, and high chemical durability. However, pure Bi₂MoO₆ suffers from low efficiency in separating photogenerated carriers, small surface area, and poor quantum yield, resulting in low photocatalytic activity. Various strategies, such as morphology control, doping/defect‐introduction, metal deposition, semiconductor combination, and surface modification with conjugative π structures, have been systematically explored to improve the photocatalytic activity of Bi₂MoO₆. To accelerate further developments of Bi₂MoO₆ in the field of photocatalysis, this comprehensive Review endeavors to summarize recent research progress for the construction of highly efficient Bi₂MoO₆‐based photocatalysts. Furthermore, benefiting from the enhanced photocatalytic activity of Bi₂MoO₆‐based materials, various photocatalytic applications including water splitting, pollutant removal, and disinfection of bacteria, were introduced and critically reviewed. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of Bi₂MoO₆ are pointed out. This comprehensive Review is expected to consolidate the existing fundamental theories of photocatalysis and pave a novel avenue to rationally design highly efficient Bi₂MoO₆‐based photocatalysts for environmental pollution control and green energy development.

High visible light photocatalytic activities obtained by integrating g-C3N4 with ferroelectric PbTiO3

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4) with the merits of high visible light absorption,proper electronic band structure with high conduction band edge and variable modulation,is viewed as a promising photocatalyst for practical use.To alleviate its high recombination rate of photo-excited charge carriers and maximize the photocatalytic performances,it is paramount to design highly effective transfer channels for photo-excited charge carriers.Ferroelectric materials can have the charge carriers transport in opposite directions owing to the internal spontaneous polarization,which may be suitable for constructing the heterostructure with g-C3N4 for efficient charge separation.Inspired by this concept,herein ferroelec tric PbTiO3,which can be the visible-light absorber,is coupled with g-C3N4 to construct PbTiO3/g-C3N4 heterostructure with close contact via Pb-N bond by the facile post thermal treatment.The optimized PbTiO3/g-C3N4 heterostructure exhibited excellent photocatalytic and photoelectrochemical activities under visible light irradiation.Moreover,the simultaneous application of ultrasound-induced mechanical waves can further improve its photocatalytic activities through reinforcing the built-in piezoelectric field.This work proposes a widely applicable strategy for the fabrication of high-performance ferroelectric based photocatalysts and also provides some new ideas for developing the understanding of ferroelectric photocatalysis.

Visible light-induced charge retention and photocatalysis with hybrid CdSe-Au nanodumbbells

Visible light photocatalysis is a promising route for harnessing of solar energy to perform useful chemical reactions and to convert light to chemical energy. Nanoscale photocatalytic systems used to date were based mostly on oxide semiconductors aided by metal deposition and were operational only under UV illumination. Additionally, the degree of control over particle size and shape was limited. We report visible light photocatalysis using highly controlled hybrid gold-tipped CdSe nanorods (nanodumbbells). Under visible light irradiation, charge separation takes place between the semiconductor and metal parts of the hybrid particles. The charge-separated state was then utilized for direct photoreduction of a model acceptor molecule, methylene blue, or alternatively, retained for later use to perform the reduction reaction in the dark.

Photocatalysis as a potential tertiary treatment of urban wastewater: new photocatalytic materials

Heterogeneous UV-photocatalytic process has been studied as tertiary treatment of real municipal wastewater. Wastewater photocatalytic treatment was carried out using several materials previously developed as photocatalysts: volcanic ashes and nanostructured titania supported over volcanic ashes. Both material activities in particles were compared with Degussa TiO₂ (powder). Photocatalyst amount influence was studied by varying it between 2 and 10 g L^?1. Wastewater decontamination process was evaluated measuring the chemical oxygen demand evolution with phototreatment time in order to choose the best photocatalytic material and its optimal operation concentration. Moreover, the photocatalytic results obtained were compared with those obtained from photolysis and adsorption studies in wastewater using the same operation conditions. In addition, analyses of main wastewater parameters were made in order to evaluate the complete water decontamination process. Possibility of using photocatalysts in particles shows the main advantage of continuous photocatalyst separation from the water effluent once the decontamination process has finished. Good photocatalytic activities were observed, and it allows to conclude that heterogeneous photocatalysis is an effective method for municipal wastewater treatment, achieving water disinfection and phosphates removal.
