SnS2-covalent organic framework Z-scheme van der Waals heterojunction for enhanced photocatalytic reduction of uranium (VI) in rare earth tailings wastewater

Xin Liu et al.

Summary: Uranium removal by photocatalytic reduction is effectively achieved using a Z-scheme van der Waals heterojunction photocatalyst (SnS2COF) synthesized by combining covalent organic frameworks (COF) with semiconductor (SnS2). The SnS2COF heterojunction exhibits superior U (VI) reduction capacity in rare earth tailings wastewater due to wider light absorption range, more active sites, and higher electron-hole separation and transfer efficiency. Under photoexcitation, the heterojunction maintains high reducibility and avoids photocorrosion of SnS2. The organic-inorganic heterojunction design concept provides an alternative strategy to enhance photocatalytic performance.

PDINH bridged NH2-UiO-66(Zr) Z-scheme heterojunction for promoted photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction and antibacterial activity

Shuzhen Zheng et al.

Summary: Z-scheme mechanism was used to enhance the photocatalytic activity. PDINH/NH2-UiO-66(Zr) (PNU) heterojunctions were prepared using a ball-milling method. The PNU-1 composite showed excellent photocatalytic activity, reducing 97% of Cr(VI) within 60 minutes of LED light illumination. The composite also exhibited high antibacterial efficiency against E. coli and S. aureus. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was attributed to the wider light absorption range, efficient charge separation, and generation of reactive species. The stability and repeatability of the composites were also demonstrated. This work provides new insights for designing efficient Z-scheme heterostructures for wastewater remediation.

The strong interaction and confinement effect of Ag@NH2-MIL-88B for improving the conversion and durability of photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of a hole scavenger

Qi Wang et al.

Summary: Selective regulation of active factors in photocatalytic reactions through material design is crucial. Researchers prepared spindle-like core-shell Ag@NH2-MIL-88B composites (Ag@NM-88) using a two-step hydrothermal method. The core-shell structure of Ag@NM-88 not only enhanced light absorption but also facilitated the separation of photogenerated e- and h+. It effectively prevented photogenerated e- from combining with O2, thus improving Cr(VI) reduction rate. This work provides a strategy for selectively regulating photoactive components and sheds light on interfacial charge transfer and molecular oxygen activation in photocatalytic reduction systems.

Metal-free 2D/2D C3N5/GO nanosheets with customized energy-level structure for radioactive nuclear wastewater treatment

Qi Meng et al.

Summary: Researchers prepared metal-free 2D/2D C3N5/GO nanosheets and customized a type-II heterojunction based on band bending theory to enhance uranium extraction capacity. The structure of C3N5 was explained through electron energy loss spectroscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption fine structure, showing a expanded light response range compared to C3N4. Density functional theory was used to demonstrate the presence of alternating energy levels for continuous injection of photogenerated electrons into the surface of GO, resulting in effective electron-hole pair separation and increased material activity. The 2D/2D C3N5/GO heterojunction achieved a high uranium removal ratio of 96.1% even at low concentration and 93.4% after gamma-ray exposure, laying a foundation for future customization of nonmetal-based 2D/2D nanohybrids for uranium-containing wastewater enrichment.
