Summary: In this study, n-p Bi2O2CO3/alpha-Bi2O3 heterojunction microtubes were successfully prepared via a one-step solvothermal route, and Ag nanoparticles were loaded onto the microtubes. The results showed that the carbonatization of alpha-Bi2O3microtubes on the surface led to the formation of a Bi2O2CO3/alpha-Bi2O3 heterostructure. The photocatalytic activity evaluation demonstrated that Bi2O2CO3/alpha-Bi2O3 with a Bi2O2CO3 mass fraction of 6.1% exhibited the highest activity, and loading with Ag nanoparticles significantly enhanced the photocatalytic activity of Bi2O2CO3/alpha-Bi2O3.

Summary: Understanding the activity enhancement mechanism of VOC oxidation reaction is crucial for the development of efficient and cost-effective photothermocatalytic materials. In this study, porous and low-cost CeO2-MgO composite oxides were synthesized and applied for toluene photothermocatalytic oxidation. The optimized sample achieved a conversion rate of 90% for 1500 ppm toluene under the conditions of 330 degrees C and a gas hourly space velocity of 60,000 mL center dot g(-1)center dot h(-1). Gas phase oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were found to play a dominant role in the photothermocatalytic activity, while the contribution of photoinduced holes and surface lattice oxygen was 25%. In situ Fourier transform infrared and electron paramagnetic resonance results indicated that the synergistic photothermo activation of molecular oxygen accelerated the formation of low-temperature ROS.

Summary: Precise regulation of photogenic electron transfer pathway is crucial for enhancing photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction efficiency and product selectivity. In this study, a g-C3N4/CoCo-layered double hydroxide (LDH) heterostructure was fabricated by designing the interface chemical bond Co-N-2 bond at the atomic level. This heterostructure realizes high-speed electron transport through the precise connection of valence band and conduction band using the interfacial Co-N-2 bond. Experimental results show that the addition of CoCo-LDH reduces the overpotential of water oxidation, regulates the charge delocalization of g-C3N4, and lowers the energy barrier of the CO2 intermediate in the reduction half-reaction. The selectivity of carbon-based substances in the products reaches 100%, with an optimal CO yield of 71.39 μmol g(-1) h(-1), which is among the highest values for g-C3N4-based photocatalysts.

Summary: Constructing heterostructured photocatalysts can enhance the separation efficiency of photocarriers, but the change in energy band positions affecting their redox ability has been overlooked. In this study, alpha-Bi2O3/Bi5NO3O7 heterojunctions were synthesized and characterized. The results showed that the heterojunctions had lower degradation ability due to the shift in energy bands, which decreased the oxidation ability of the holes and the activation ability of molecular oxygen.
