Development of efficient photocatalysts is essential for carbon dioxide (CO) photocatalytic reduction. In this study, Z-scheme CoAl-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/indium vanadate (InVO) heterojunction photocatalysts were synthesized using hydrothermal method, and their performance toward CO reduction and mechanism were determined. Results of characterizations showed that the CoAl-LDH/InVO-30 exhibited desired morphology, the most efficient photogenerated carriers separation and charge transfer, and the highest photocurrent response. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron spin resonance (ESR) manifested that charge transfer of the CoAl-LDH/InVO conformed to Z-scheme mechanism. The CoAl-LDH/InVO-30 exhibited the highest carbon monoxide (CO) yield of 174.4 μmol g within 2 h of reaction, which was 2.46 and 9.79 times of pure CoAl-LDH and InVO, respectively. The CO selectivity was up to nearly 100%. Moreover, in-situ fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ISFT-IR) demonstrated that bicarbonate (HCO*) and carboxylate (COOH*) were the main intermediates during the CO reduction process, and possible CO reduction pathways were proposed. This work provides a reference for construction of Z-scheme LDH-based heterojunctions for efficient CO photoreduction.

Amide compounds are widely present in drug molecules and natural products, which can be synthesized by acid-amine condensation. It is urgent to design new photocatalysts for achieving both nitroaromatic reduction and C-H oxidation to obtain raw materials, carboxylic acids, and aromatic amines. Herein, a novel isopolymolybdate-incorporated photoactive metal-organic framework, -TPT, was constructed by combining the oxidation catalyst [MoO], Ni(II) cation, and photosensitive ligand 2,4,6-tri(4-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPT).

In this work, a novel V-g-CN/BiVO (V-CN/BVO) Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalyst was formed by introducing nitrogen vacancies (V) and constructing heterojunction, which is able to efficiently degrade the representative contaminant rhodamine B (RhB) upon exposure to visible-light, resulting in an outstanding degradation rate of 98.91% of RhB within 30 min. This photocatalyst exhibits catalytic universality and allows the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 97.

NH-MIL-125 with abundant porosity and specific interactions with CO molecules, has been demonstrate great potential in the field of photocatalytic CO reduction. However, conventional NH-MIL-125 and their composites much lower CO photoreduction efficiency in aerobic environments because of the O competition. To circumvent the issue, this study modifies NH-MIL-125 through crystal facet engineering to enhance its selective CO adsorption and photocatalytic efficiency in the environment of impurity CO.

The spontaneous adsorption of proteins onto nanoparticles, known as the protein corona, provides a unique perspective for designing protein-sensing biosensors. This study proposes a tailored protein corona method mediated by Tween-20 and develops a reverse-capture approach for protein quantification assays. The protein-coated microplate captures titanium dioxide nanosheets (TiO-NS) in a phosphate buffer containing Tween-20 and generates fluorescence signals via the photocatalytic reduction of resazurin to resorufin, thereby indicating the amount of protein.
