The design of visible-light-driven photocatalysts has been rapidly developed due to the great application potential in environmental pollution remediation. The present work focused on the construction of a novel ternary g-CN/BiMoO/CeO nanocomposite and the application for photocatalytic removal of 4-CP under irradiation. The g-CN/BiMoO/CeO photocatalysts were successfully synthesized by a facile solid-state thermolysis assisted ultrasonic dispersion to introduce g-CN nanosheets into BiMoO/CeO composite. Morphology characterization revealed that the BiMoO/CeO spherical structure uniformly dispersed on the g-CN nanosheets and the close interface contact induced the generation of dual Z-scheme heterojunction. The as-prepared photocatalysts shown enhanced catalytic activity in comparison with binary BiMoO/CeO composites and the optimal CBC-20% exhibited the highest degradation efficiency of 99.1% for 4-CP under 80 min illumination, which was attributed to the efficient separation of photogenerated e-h pairs under the dual Z-scheme charges transfer mode. Additionally, combined with trapping experiments and EPR analysis, 4-CP was decomposed mainly by the active species O and h with a marginal assistance of OH during the photocatalytic process. The intermediates for 4-CP degradation were analyzed and a reasonable degradation pathway was proposed.

A novel ternary synergistic photoelectrochemical (PEC) probe is presented utilizing metal-organic framework (MOF)-templated Pd/CdS@CoS nanocages for sensing chlorpyrifos (CPF) using chronoamperometry under an applied bias of - 65 mV with 465-nm LED illumination. Derived from ZIF-67 via in situ sulfidation, the hollow nanocage architecture integrated CdS nanoparticles with CoS to form a direct Z-scheme heterojunction, while decorating Pd quantum dots (QDs) created a Schottky barrier, implementing a crucial dual charge-transfer enhancement strategy. Density functional theory (DFT) simulations confirmed a 0.

The hollow MoSe/N-doped carbon (NC) composite, which was obtained through Mo-polydopamine as a self-sacrificing template based on the Kirkendall effect, was further utilized to fabricate a novel ternary MoSe/NC/ZIS (MNZ) dual Z-scheme heterojunction by growing ZnInS (ZIS) onto it via a hydrothermal process. The optimized MNZ (12MNZ) heterojunction exhibits exceptional performance in photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH), hydrogen (H) evolution, hydrogen peroxide (HO) production, and carbon dioxide (CO) reduction under visible light irradiation. The 12MNZ photocatalyst achieves a significant photodegradation efficiency of TCH reaching 98.

Two-dimensional (2D) β-InS, with significant advantages of broad spectral response, suitable conduction band position, high carrier mobility, and low toxicity, displays great potential in photocatalytic hydrogen production. However, its high charge recombination rate has severely constrained its practical application in photocatalysis. Here, we employ a heteroatom doping and interface engineering strategy to in situ deposit CdS nanosheets onto Sn doped InS to construct an ultrathin 2D/2D Sn-InS/CdS Z-scheme heterojunction with a sulfur-shared interface.

This study investigates the synergistic photocatalytic activity of mixed bismuth oxyhalides (BiOI and BiOCl) and the critical role of iron doping in enhancing the Cr(VI) reduction. By employing FeCl as both a chloride source and iron dopant precursor, we achieved in situ Fe incorporation into bismuth oxyhalides (BiOX; X = Cl/I) during a one-pot coprecipitation synthesis at room temperature. The resulting iron-doped BiOX formed flower-like particles integrated with NH-UiO-66, a zirconium-based metal-organic framework (MOF), creating a Z-scheme heterojunction composite.
