A direct Z-scheme heterojunction with boosted transportation of photogenerated charge carriers for highly efficient photodegradation of PFOA: Reaction kinetics and mechanism

Haodong Tang et al.

Summary: The Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst of core-shell CeO2@NiAl-LDHs shows high efficiency in removing PFOA, with a photodegradation performance of 90.2% and 36.1 mg g(-1) h(-1). Factors affecting the photodegradation process were explored, and the presence of a built-in electric field (BIEF) in the heterojunction was confirmed to promote photogenerated carriers and enhance photocatalytic performance. The efficient degradation of PFOA is attributed to the synergistic effects of reduction and defluorination by electrons, as well as oxidation by active free radicals.

Precise location and regulation of active sites for highly efficient photocatalytic synthesis of ammonia by facet-dependent BiVO4 single crystals

Guanhua Zhang et al.

Summary: Based on characterizations and experiments, it was confirmed that the cycle of oxygen vacancy-V4+/V5+ on the (040) facet is the exact active site for the photocatalytic NRR by bismuth vanadate single crystal. V4+ plays a role in N2 chemisorption, V5+ acts as an electron transfer bridge. In contrast, the (110) facet is a more inert facet for the pNRR.
