For the effective removal of phenol from the environment, photocatalytic synergistic adsorption is currently one of the key methods. By leveraging the polysaccharide backbone structure of sodium alginate (SA),Zinc hydroxystannate (ZHS) was introduced into the gel structure using a co-precipitation technique. Additionally, gangue waste was repurposed through a polymerization reaction. This approach not only enhanced the specific surface area of the gel material but also compensated for its limited absorption in the visible light spectrum. As a result, the PKSPGM@ZHS was successfully synthesized. The adsorption of Ph by PKSPGM@ZHS in the dark reaction phase aligns with the quasi-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir model, it shows that this is a spontaneous exothermic process, and its photocatalytic process conforms to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood first-order reaction kinetics model, where ZHS undergoes a series of reactions to generate ·OH radicals from ·O in the presence of photocatalysis. Ph can be degraded to CO and HO through a series of reactions, thereby achieving complete removal of Ph from wastewater solutions, with a removal rate reaching up to 70 %. After 5 cycles of adsorption/photocatalysis tests, KSPGM@ZHS still h exhibits a high removal efficiency, with the removal rate remaining at 54.26%. This demonstrates its excellent recyclability.

Herein, a WO@TCN photocatalyst was successfully synthesized using a self-assembly method, which demonstrated effectiveness in degrading organic dyestuffs and photocatalytic evolution of H. The synergistic effect between WO and TCN, along with the porous structure of TCN, facilitated the formation of a heterojunction that promoted the absorption of visible light, accelerated the interfacial charge transfer, and inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This led to excellent photocatalytic performance of 3%WO@TCN in degrading TC and catalyzing H evolution from water splitting under visible-light irradiation.

Photocatalytic water disinfection technology is highly promising in off-grid areas due to abundant year-round solar irradiance. However, the practical use of powdered photocatalysts is impeded by limited recovery and inefficient inactivation of stress-resistant bacteria in oligotrophic surface water. Here we prepare a floatable monolithic photocatalyst with ZIF-8-NH loaded Ag single atoms and nanoparticles (Ag/ZIF).

Photocatalytic water splitting is a promising way to produce H, a green and clean energy source. However, efficient H production typically relies on the addition of electron donors, such as alcohols and acids, which are neither environmentally friendly nor cost-effective. Recently, we have witnessed a surge of studies in coupling photocatalytic H evolution with organic pollutant oxidation, which significantly promotes charge separation and improves the overall photocatalytic efficiency.

The development of heterojunctions is a proven strategy to augment the photocatalytic efficiency of materials. However, the enhancement in charge transfer facilitated by a single heterojunction is inherently constrained. To overcome these limitations, we synthesized a dual S-scheme heterojunction ternary composite photocatalyst, CuO/NiAl-LDH@MIL-53(Fe), designed for efficient visible-light-driven hydrogen (H) production.
