Here we show for the first time a MOF that is photocatalytically active for light-assisted CO2 methanation under mild conditions (215 °C) without the inclusion of metallic nanoparticles or any sacrificial agent. The presence of Cu2O nanoparticles causes a 50% increase in the photocatalytic activity. This result paves the way for developing efficient and cost-effective materials for CO2 elimination.

The improper handling and uncontrolled discharge of toxic organic dyes result in significant adverse effects on both human health and the environment. This study investigates the fabrication of SnO₂, yttrium and cobalt dual-doped SnO₂ (YCSn), chitosan-capped SnO₂ (CS*Sn), and chitosan-capped yttrium and cobalt dual-doped SnO₂ (CS*YCSn) nanoparticles using a one-step coprecipitation method for the photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. Characterization techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry confirm the successful synthesis of biodegradable CS*YCSn nanoparticles.

Synergism of piezoelectricity and photocatalysis is an effective approach for pollutant degradation and removal, and has garnered considerable attention. Nonetheless, great challenges still remain in recombination and slow migration rate of charge carriers. For response, a novel Three-in-One strategy based on MXene/ZnS/FeO (MZF) was developed to enhance the piezoelectric photocatalytic activity via achieving a triple effect: Dual Schottky heterojunction, Interface electric field, and Oxygen vacancy.

Photocatalytic removal of antibiotic such as ciprofloxacin from polluted water is of great value for eco-environment protection. To further enhance the piezoelectric effect in photocatalysis, we designed and synthesized a ternary heterojunction piezoelectric photocatalyst through uniformly loading MoS nanosheets onto BiFeO (BFO) nanofibers, namely MoS/BiS/BFO. Piezoresponse force microscopy and Kelvin probe force microscopy demonstrated its enhanced piezoelectric properties, showing a maximum amplitude displacement of 395.
