Chun Liu et al.

Summary: The study focused on the preparation of a two-dimensional/two-dimensional WO3/BiOBr S-scheme heterojunction and its application in degrading tetracycline and enrofloxacin. The results showed that the 1:2 WOB heterojunction exhibited the highest degradation activity, with removal rates of 98% for TC and 87% for ENR within 60 minutes. Radical quenching experiments and EPR results suggested that O-1(2), h(+), and center dot O-2(-) played critical roles in the WOB/SR-photo system, providing insights into the degradation mechanism.

Engineering Lattice Disorder on a Photocatalyst: Photochromic BiOBr Nanosheets Enhance Activation of Aromatic C-H Bonds via Water Oxidation

Xing Cao et al.

Summary: This study reports reversible photochromic BiOBr nanosheets (p-BiOBr) that can change colors by trapping photogenerated holes and bleached by water oxidation to generate hydroxyl radicals, demonstrating enhanced carrier separation and water oxidation. Efficient photocatalytic coupling and oxidation reactions of ethylbenzene can be achieved by p-BiOBr in a water-based medium. The p-BiOBr nanosheets feature lattice disordered defects on the surface, which provide abundant uncoordinated catalytic sites and induce structural distortions and lattice strain, resulting in altered band structure and significantly enhanced photocatalytic performances.

Onion-liked carbon-embedded graphitic carbon nitride for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and dye degradation

Yuxi Shi et al.

Summary: Limited light absorption and low charge separation rate in graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4)-based photocatalyst are overcome by embedding onion-liked carbon (OLC) structures in the matrix. The highly hybridized and electrically conductive OLC broadens visible light absorption, narrows the band gap of g-C3N4, and promotes the separation of photo-generated carriers. The g-C3N4/OLC composites show significantly increased hydrogen evolution rate and efficient degradation of RhB, demonstrating the potential of OLC in designing carbon-based photocatalysts for solar energy conversion and pollutant degradation.
