We report on facile hydrothermal synthesis of 2H and 1T/2H mixed-phase MoS nanosheets using different organic sulfur precursors with varying sulfur release tendencies. 1T/2H MoS demonstrated direct solar light-driven photocatalysis and adsorption recyclability, attributed to phase synergy and improved charge separation.

Cyanobacteria are emerging as a promising platform for whole-cell biotransformation, harnessing solar energy to drive biocatalytic reactions through recombinant enzymes. However, optimisation remains challenging due to the complexity of the cyanobacterial metabolism and the regulatory framework in which heterologous enzymes operate. While many enzymes have been deployed for light-driven whole-cell biotransformations, the different experimental conditions used between studies make direct comparison and systematic improvement difficult.

Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) with striking electrical and optical properties have appeared at the forefront of semiconductor materials for photocatalytic redox reactions but still suffer from some intrinsic drawbacks such as inferior stability, severe charge-carrier recombination, and limited active sites. Heterojunctions have recently been widely constructed to improve light absorption, passivate surface for enhanced stability, and promote charge-carrier dynamics of MHPs. However, little attention has been paid to the review of MHPs-based heterojunctions for photocatalytic redox reactions.

The most cost-effective and environmentally benign method of producing hydrogen fuel from water is solar-driven hydrogen production, using efficient photocatalysts with low-energy photons. Engineering such a photocatalyst remains highly challenging. In this work, BiOBr(001) and BiOBr(010) nanosheets were synthesized using the hydrothermal method.

Photochemistry involves elementary steps in which single electrons are transferred, but artificial photosynthesis requires multi-electron reactions. This discrepancy necessitates light-driven charge accumulation, which has so far proved very difficult to achieve without sacrificial redox reagents. Here we report a molecular donor-photosensitizer-acceptor compound in which light absorption leads to the reversible accumulation of two positive and two negative charges.
