Summary: The construction of p-n heterojunction structure is an effective method for enhancing electron-hole pair separation in photocatalysts. ZnIn2S4/CoFe2O4 photocatalysts with p-n heterojunctions were prepared using ultrasonication and calcination. The synthesized photocatalysts were analyzed and tested, and their hydrogen evolution rates were evaluated. The ZIS/CFO composite showed improved photocatalytic hydrogen production performance due to the formation of p-n junctions and the internal electric field, leading to enhanced separation of electron-hole pairs and improved hydrogen evolution rate. The composite also exhibited excellent stability and magnetic properties for magnetic recoverability.

Summary: This study introduces a general strategy for generating various Janus particles using shadow sphere lithography (SSL) by adjusting incident angles, azimuthal angles, and deposition numbers to form well-defined flower-like patches on microsphere monolayers. An in-house simulation program is developed to predict patch morphology and correlates well with experimentally produced Janus particles. The relationships between patch shape/area/size/and incident angle/deposition numbers are quantitatively determined, facilitating further implementation of SSL in fabricating more varieties of Janus particles. Such a SSL strategy can be used to create Janus particles with anticipated patch morphology and uniformity, suitable for self-assembly, drug delivery, or plasmonic sensors, and also explore fundamental principles of nanostructure properties.

Summary: The research focused on preparing 3D transition metal doped copper oxide nanostructures via sonication method and studying the effect of different transition metal dopants on the properties of CuO nanoparticles. The morphological studies confirmed the formation of flower-like CuO 3D nanostructures for all doped samples, with successful doping indicated by slight shifts in XRD peaks. UV-vis absorption analysis showed varying bandgaps for CuO samples doped with nickel, zinc, and iron, while photocatalytic testing revealed enhanced degradation efficiency in Zn-doped samples. This suggests that morphology and optical properties of CuO can be modified by doping transition metals.

Summary: Ce-Co co-doped PbTiO3 (Ce-Co-PTO) is synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared Ce-Co-PTO perovskite exhibits a wide light absorption range and remarkable photocatalytic performance, achieving the conversion of RhB dye in just 10 minutes under UV light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic efficiency is attributed to the strong electronic interaction among Ce, Co, and PTO, which promotes charge carrier separation and transfer. The optimized conditions for RhB conversion, including catalyst amount, pH, electron acceptor, and temperature, are investigated. The postulated photocatalytic mechanism and stability of Ce-Co-PTO perovskite are also discussed. The Ce-Co-PTO perovskite holds promising prospects for dye contaminant treatment under renewable light sources.
