Vertically grown CeO and TiO nanoparticles over the MIL53Fe MOF as proper band alignments for efficient H generation and 2,4-DCP degradation.

The design of highly efficient photoca talysts for clean energy production and environmental remediation are the grand challenges of scientific research. Herein, TiO@MIL53Fe and CeO@MIL53Fe composite photocatalysts are synthesized via solvothermal technique. The SEM and TEM micrographs reveal that TiO and CeO nanoparticles are vertically grown onto the surface of MIL53Fe MOF.

Plasmon Assisted Highly Efficient Visible Light Catalytic CO Reduction Over the Noble Metal Decorated Sr-Incorporated g-CN.

The photocatalytic performance of g-CN for CO conversion is still inadequate by several shortfalls including the instability, insufficient solar light absorption and rapid charge carrier's recombination rate. To solve these problems, herein, noble metals (Pt and Au) decorated Sr-incorporated g-CN photocatalysts are fabricated via the simple calcination and photo-deposition methods. The Sr-incorporation remarkably reduced the g-CN band gap from 2.

A rational design of g-CN-based ternary composite for highly efficient H generation and 2,4-DCP degradation.

In this work, g-CN based ternary composite (CeO/CN/NH-MIL-101(Fe)) has been fabricated via hydrothermal and wet-chemical methods. The composite showed superior photoactivities for HO reduction to produce H and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation. The amount of H evolved over the composite under visible and UV-visible irradiations is 147.

Fabrication of BiFeO-g-CN-WO Z-scheme heterojunction as highly efficient visible-light photocatalyst for water reduction and 2,4-dichlorophenol degradation: Insight mechanism.

In this work, a Z-scheme BiFeO-g-CN-WO (BFO-CN-WO) photocatalyst has been synthesized via a wet chemical method and utilized in photocatalysis for hydrogen generation and 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) degradation under visible light irradiation. The resultant photocatalyst showed 90 μmol·h g H evolution activity and 63% 2,4-DCP degradation performance, which is 12 and 4.2 times higher than the pristine g-CN respectively.
