A dual S-scheme nanocellulose-based SnWO/CuO/AgWO (NC-SCA) heterojunction photocatalyst was synthesized via ultrasonication followed by a hydrothermal method for the efficient photodegradation of amoxicillin (AMX). Under UV-vis light irradiation, the NC-SCA photocatalyst exhibited an impressive 97.40% AMX degradation within 30 min, attributed to its improved optical absorption and superior charge migration. The characterization techniques, including XRD, FTIR, PL, and UV-vis spectroscopy, confirmed the successful integration of nanocellulose with SnWO/CuO/AgWO. XPS and ESR analyses provided insights into the S-scheme charge migration mechanism within the heterojunction. Further, the trapping experiments identified hydroxyl (OH) and superoxide radicals as the primary reactive species. The photocatalyst displayed a specific surface area of 115.9 m/g, offering a large active surface for photodegradation. Operational parameters such as the photocatalyst dosage, pH, and AMX concentration were systematically optimized. The NC-SCA photocatalyst exhibited high stability, retaining around 85% efficiency after seven cycles. This study presents an innovative strategy for designing high-performance photocatalysts addressing the limitations of conventional materials.

A bifunctional tubular step-scheme CoS/CdS heterostructure was successfully synthesized for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) detection coupled with the degradation of tetracycline (TC). It was found that so-obtained heterostructure could effectively suppress the recombination of photo-generated carriers and display larger PEC responses owing to the internal electrostatic field. Upon adding TC, the photocurrent signal of CoS/CdS heterostructure was specifically activated due to the direct consumption of holes in CdS component by TC, resulting in significantly enhanced charge separation.

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) equipped with controllable porosity and excellent structural stability are regarded as promising candidates for photocatalytic CO reduction, yet some inherent drawbacks including low CO activation and sluggish charge carriers' transfer properties urgently need to be addressed. Herein, we developed an imine-bridged strategy to construct ZnO/COF heterostructure by integrating donor-acceptor COF (TAPT-DMTP COF) on the surface of amino-modified ZnO for photocatalytic CO reduction. The optimal photocatalyst, NZnO/TAPT-DMTP COF-3, exhibited superior photocatalytic activity for reducing CO to CO and CH, which was significantly higher than pristine COF and non-covalently bridged ZnO/TAPT-DMTP COF.

To enable highly efficient in situ hydrogen release from methanol/water reforming at lower temperature, the integration of solar-energy offers a promising approach to activate methanol/water and substantially lower the activation energy of this reaction. Herein, we present a novel dual-vacancy defective hollow heterostructure derived from Metal-Organic Frameworks, featuring abundant surface hydroxyl groups and S/O vacancies, for photothermal-promoted methanol solution reforming into hydrogen. The [InS/InO](OH) exhibits exceptional photothermal H evolution activity, achieving a production rate of 215.
