Article Abstract
The CoO/g-CN Z-scheme composite heterojunction has been effectively built in a facile sonication-assisted hydrothermal manner. The as-synthesized optimal 0.2 M CoO/g-CN (GCO2) composite photocatalysts (PCs) revealed admirable degradation efficiency towards methyl orange (MO, 65.1%) and methylene blue (MB, 87.9%) organic pollutant compared with bare g-CN within 210 min under light irradiation. Besides, the features of investigating structural, morphological and optical properties have evidence that the unique decoration effect of CoO nanoparticles (NPs) on the g-CN structure with intimate interface heterojunction of well-matched band structures noticeably facilitates the photo-generated charge transport/separation efficiency, reduces the recombination rates and widens the visible-light fascination which could advantageous to upgrading photocatalytic action with superior redox ability. Especially, the probable Z-scheme photocatalytic mechanism pathway is also elucidated in detail based on the quenching results. Hence, this work delivers a facile and hopeful candidate for contaminated water remediation via visible-light photocatalysis over the efficient g-CN-based catalysts.

In this study, a MoC-MoO@NCrGO-900 composite catalyst comprising two-dimensional nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NCrGO) and ultrasmall molybdenum carbide-molybdenum dioxide (MoC-MoO) heterojunctions was synthesized. The optimized catalyst exhibited an outstanding oxidative desulfurization (ODS) performance. Specifically, a model oil containing 4000 ppm sulfur was completely desulfurized within 30 min, with a desulfurization efficiency of 98.

The persistent presence of Metronidazole (MTZ), a commonly used antibiotic, in water bodies is a serious environmental and health concern because of its genotoxic and carcinogenic potential. Here, we report an effective visible-light photocatalyst system comprising an S-scheme glycine-modified TiO/FeO heterojunction immobilized on chitosan-polyacrylonitrile nanofibers. The photocatalyst nanocomposite was synthesized through a sol-gel and ultrasonication process coupled with electrospinning-assisted immobilization.

Coupling the ethanol electrooxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction is an effective way to obtain green energy. Although Ni-based catalysts have the characteristics of low cost and good stability, meanwhile, the activity needs to be further improved. Here, we report a Ni-based heterojunction EOR catalyst, NiCo(OH)@NiS, composed by two phases of NiS and NiCo(OH).

A simple solvothermal method was used in this paper. ZnCoS (ZCS) nanoparticles were smoothly synthesized by this method and loaded on the external surface of MnCd0S (MCS) to form an S-scheme heterojunction. A comparative evaluation was performed with two other single catalysts, and the compound catalyst MCS/ZCS achieved great gain in the process of catalytic action of H generated under sunlight.
