TiO2 nanotube arrays sensitized by copper (II) porphyrins with efficient interfacial charge transfer for the photocatalytic degradation of 4-nitrophenol

Xian-Tai Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, photocatalysts based on CuTEPyP sensitized TiO2 nanotubes and nanotube arrays were synthesized and their photocatalytic activities for 4-NP degradation were investigated under visible light irradiation. The results showed that CuTEPyP/TNTAs exhibited significantly higher efficiency in degrading 4-NP compared to CuTEPyP/TNTs, possibly due to increased light absorption, high separation rate of charge pairs, and efficient charge transfer. A plausible mechanism involving hydroxyl radicals, superoxide radical anions, and singlet oxygen species was proposed to explain the enhanced photocatalytic activity of CuTEPyP/TNTAs.

Dandan Ma et al.

Summary: Introducing a co-catalyst and constructing a heterostructure are two effective strategies in improving the photocatalytic H2 evolution performance of semiconductors. This study successfully fabricated a co-catalyst NiS decorated ZnS/CdS heterostructure for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution from water splitting. The optimized heterostructure showed a high hydrogen evolution rate without the need for additional noble metal co-catalyst, demonstrating the synergistic effect between the heterostructure and co-catalyst. The one-pot fabrication process allowed for the formation of closely contacted interfaces and sufficient exposure of active reaction sites, leading to enhanced H2 evolution ability.
