Piezo-photocatalytic flexible PAN/TiO2 composite nanofibers for environmental remediation

Deng Ding et al.

Summary: In this study, a method of synergistic enhancement of oxidation was reported by simultaneously harvesting solar and mechanical vibrations through flexible piezo and photocatalytic composite nanofiber mats. By incorporating photocatalytic TiO2 in flexible piezoelectric PAN nanofiber support, the piezoelectric fields generated under the mechanical deformation promote the separation of the photogenerated electrons and holes to accelerate oxidation of pollutants. The experimental results demonstrated that the catalytic activity of PAN/TiO2 nanofibers can be greatly enhanced by environmental vibration-induced piezoelectricity, with a maximum enhancement factor of about 2.5.

Tailoring of electronic and surface structures boosts exciton-triggering photocatalysis for singlet oxygen generation

Dongpeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Surface substitutional doping with Pt has significant effects on the electronic and surface characteristics of atomically thin layers of Bi3O4Br, enhancing the generation of O-1(2). The introduced Pt impurity states can trap photoinduced singlet excitons, reducing the singlet-triplet energy gap and facilitating the generation of triplet excitons. Chemisorption state of O-2 causes changes in the magnetic moment of O-2 through electron-mediated triplet energy transfer, resulting in specific O-1(2) generation.

Regulation of excitons dissociation in AgI/Bi3O4Br for advanced reactive oxygen species generation towards photodegradation

Ruiren Zhou et al.

Summary: The role of excitons and hot carriers in photo-induced processes, as well as their benefits in charge transfer in photocatalysis, were explored using an AgI/Bi3O4Br model. The reduction of spin-orbit coupling and presence of oxygen vacancies in the heterojunction were identified as key factors contributing to the high efficiency of ROS generation. The interfacial interaction between AgI and Bi3O4Br also played a significant role in reducing the generation of O-1(2) and increasing the production of O-2 center dot(-) and center dot OH center dot radicals, leading to effective degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater.
