Article Abstract

The development of green, efficient, and reusable photocatalysts is important for pollution degradation. In recent years, CsBiI has been shown to be an effective photocatalyst. However, the rapid recombination of electrons and holes weakens the photocatalytic activity. In this work, the photogenerated electron transfer rate was promoted by ZIF-8 compositing with CsBiI, which effectively improved the pollutant degradation. After 50 min of visible light irradiation, CsBiI/ZIF-8 removed up to 98.2% of methylene blue (MB), which was 4.15 times higher than that of CsBiI alone. In addition, the CsBiI/ZIF-8 composite still exhibited high photocatalytic activity after three cycling experiments. Our research offers a simple and efficient method for enhancing the photocatalytic activity of lead-free halide perovskites.

Photocatalytic seawater splitting (PSWS), which utilizes abundant solar and ocean resources, is one of the most promising technologies for sustainable hydrogen production. However, the complex composition of seawater significantly limits the durability and activity of photocatalysts. In this review, we first identify the primary factors that contribute to photocatalyst deactivation during PSWS, including chloride induced corrosion and loss of active sites, and light shielding caused by precipitation of metal cation salts.

The construction of C─N bonds from simple precursors under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge in green chemistry, especially when it comes to avoiding energy-intensive protocols. Here, we present a continuous flow photocatalytic platform that enables the efficient coupling of C─N bonds between methanol and ammonia at ambient temperature and pressure. By synergistically engineering a Pd clusters-decorated TiO photocatalyst (1Pd/TiO) and a mass transfer-enhanced gas-liquid-solid Taylor flow reactor, the system achieves a remarkable formamide productivity of 256.

Effective removal of ethylene (CH) during fruit and vegetables storage and transport remains a critical challenge for post-harvest preservation. Although S-scheme heterojunctions can improve charge separation and redox capacity for ethylene degradation, their efficiency is still restricted by limited carrier transfer and sluggish oxygen activation. Here, we rationally designed a novel 2D/2D SnNbO/BiMoO monolayer S-scheme heterojunction integrated with Pt co-catalyst to address these limitations.
