Construction of a Switchable g-C3N4/BiVO4 Heterojunction from the Z-Scheme to the Type II by Incorporation of Pyromellitic Diimide

Ya-yun Li et al.

Summary: The g-C3N4/PI/BiVO4 (CPB) photocatalyst, constructed by tailoring the g-C3N4 structure and hybridizing with BiVO4, exhibits significantly improved photocatalytic activity with higher light absorption capacity, lower electron-hole transfer resistance, and stronger photooxidation power. The addition of PI to g-C3N4 eliminates the built-in electric field in the composite material without compromising its photocatalytic performance.

Cellulose acetate based sustainable nanostructured membranes for environmental remediation

Ayesha Rehman et al.

Summary: Membrane-based gas separation has the potential to reduce environmentally hazardous carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This study focuses on synthesizing mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with improved CO2 adsorption performance and stability. The incorporation of Cu-MOF-GO composite filler into the polymer matrix enhances the properties of the membranes. Increasing the filler concentration affects the CO2 adsorption. The successful incorporation of MOF within the MMMs was confirmed through various analytical techniques.

Summary: Membrane-based gas separation has the potential to reduce environmentally hazardous CO2 gas. This study aimed to synthesize mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) with improved CO2 adsorption performance and stability. The effect of increasing filler concentration on CO2 adsorption was investigated. The results showed that increasing the filler concentration improved the adsorption performance, but beyond a certain concentration, aggregation occurred. The successful incorporation of MOF within the MMMs was confirmed through spectroscopy analysis.

Rational design of α-Fe2O3 nanocubes supported BiVO4 Z-scheme photocatalyst for photocatalytic degradation of antibiotic under visible light

Changchang Ma et al.

Summary: The Z-scheme BiVO4/alpha-Fe2O3 photocatalyst, synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method, showed improved photocatalytic activity in the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride compared to pure BiVO4 and alpha-Fe2O3 nanocubes under visible light irradiation. The study revealed that the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction between BiVO4 and alpha-Fe2O3 increased the specific surface area and promoted the separation of photoinduced carriers, leading to enhanced photocatalytic performance.
