Recent progresses in photocatalytic hydrogen production: design and construction of Ni-based cocatalysts

Xiaobin Liu et al.

Summary: This review focuses on the latest progress in designing and constructing composite photocatalysts using Ni-based cocatalysts for enhanced hydrogen production, such as metal nickel, nickel sulfide, and nickel phosphide. The preparation strategies and influence factors of Ni-based cocatalysts on enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production are elaborated in detail. Additionally, challenges and perspectives on highly active cocatalysts in the area of photocatalytic hydrogen production from water splitting are also discussed.

MOF-derived core/shell C-TiO2/CoTiO3 type II heterojunction for efficient photocatalytic removal of antibiotics

Biyun Lin et al.

Summary: A novel core/shell C-TiO2/CoTiO3 type II heterojunction with remarkable photocatalytic activity for removal of ciprofloxacin (CIP) under visible-light illumination was successfully synthesized. The proposed photocatalytic mechanism study indicated that the main radical species in the photocatalytic degradation of CIP using C-TiO2/CoTiO3 as the photocatalyst is center dot OH. This work provides a new approach and insight for synthesizing core/shell heterojunction-based photocatalysts for various applications.

Wastewater remediation with ZnO photocatalysts: Green synthesis and solar concentration as an economically and environmentally viable route to application

Asma El Golli et al.

Summary: Green-synthesized Zinc Oxide nanostructures showed favorable photocatalytic activity in degrading methylene blue dye under concentrated sunlight compared to chemically prepared ZnO. Immobilized photocatalysts, including green-synthesized ZnO nanorods and pulsed laser deposition ZnO thin film, demonstrated the feasibility of the approach in wastewater treatment. An economic analysis indicated that the combination of green synthesis and concentrated sunlight significantly reduces costs for large-scale photocatalytic wastewater remediation.
