Boosting Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production via Interfacial Engineering on 2D Ultrathin Z-Scheme ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4 Heterojunction

Mengxi Tan et al.

Summary: The construction of an ultrathin 2D ZnIn2S4/g-C3N4 Z-scheme heterojunction through in-situ growth of ZnIn2S4 on g-C3N4 allows for greatly improved hydrogen evolution performance by carefully regulating the interface structure. The optimized photocatalyst demonstrates significant photocatalytic activity without Pt, attributing to the synergistic effect of abundant active sites, enhanced photoresponse, and valid interfacial charge transfer channels. Spectroscopic analyses and density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm that the enhanced photocatalytic performance is also due to promoted interfacial charge separation in the 2D Z-scheme heterojunction.

Hui Yun et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the removal efficiency of ARGs in anaerobic digestion (AD) is highly influenced by operational temperature, with psychrophilic AD showing potential for ARGs elimination in the absence of oxytetracycline. The diversity and composition of AD bacterial communities are more affected by temperature than oxytetracycline. The physicochemical properties of AD impact bacterial richness, which in turn significantly correlates with the abundances of ARGs.
