Exploring efficient and stable halide perovskite-based photocatalysts is a great challenge due to the balance between the photocatalytic performance, toxicity, and intrinsic chemical instability of the materials. Here, the environmentally friendly lead-free perovskite CsAgBiBr confined in the mesoporous TiO crystal matrix has been designed to enhance the charge carrier extraction and utilization for efficient photocatalytic rifampicin degradation. The as-prepared CsAgBiBr/TiO catalyst was stable in air for over 500 days. An S-scheme heterojunction was formed between the (004) plane of CsAgBiBr and the (101) plane of TiO through the Bi-O-Br bonds. The built-in electric field at the interface efficiently promoted the photoinduced charge separation and carrier extraction. The CsAgBiBr/TiO-200 showed a 92.83% degradation efficiency of rifampicin within 80 min under simulated sunlight illumination (AM 1.5G 100 mW cm). This work offers an effective way for the construction of halide perovskite-based photocatalysts with high photocatalytic performance, good stability, and low toxicity simultaneously.

Designing and optimizing photocatalysts to maximize the use of sunlight and achieve fast charge transport remains a goal of photocatalysis technology. Herein, a full-spectrum-response BiOBr:Er@BiO core-shell S-scheme heterojunction is designed with [Bi─O] tetrahedral sharing using upconversion (UC) functionality, photothermal effects, and interfacial engineering. The UC function of Er and plasmon resonance effect of BiO greatly improves the utilization of sunlight.

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.

Highly efficient photocatalysts for degrading persistent antibiotics and synthetic dye pollutants under visible light are crucial for sustainable environmental remediation. In this study, we engineered a novel BiMoO (BMO)/NiAl-LDH (layered double hydroxide) hybrid catalyst with a unique 2D/2D heterostructure, optimized for the visible-light-driven elimination of ciprofloxacin (CPF) and hazardous synthetic dyes such as rhodamine B and methylene blue. The optimized BMO-30/LDH hybrid demonstrated exceptional photocatalytic performance, achieving nearly complete degradation of CPF and synthetic dyes with high mineralization efficiency, surpassing many previously reported state-of-the-art photocatalysts.

Photocatalysis has garnered significant attention as a sustainable approach for energy conversion and environmental management. 2D black phosphorus (BP) has emerged as a highly promising semiconductor photocatalyst owing to its distinctive properties. However, inherent issues such as rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes severely impede the photocatalytic efficacy of single BP.
