Constructing heterojunction photocatalysts is an ingenious approach to adjust the lifetimes of charge carriers for highly efficient photocatalytic applications. In this study, an all 2D-layered heterojunction photocatalyst of SnS2/RGO/g-C3N4 nanosheets was synthesized using a photo-assisted self-assembly strategy, which exhibited remarkable enhancement in photocatalytic performance.
Constructing heterojunction photocatalysts has been proven as an ingenious tactic to adjust the lifetimes of the higher redox-active charge-carriers toward highly-efficient photocatalytic applications. Numerous recent efforts focused on the short-range spatial separation of charge-carriers in the heterojunction photocatalysts. However, engineering a long-range transfer channel in the well-designed heterojunction photocatalyst to further spatially separate the charge-carriers is still a huge challenge. In this contribution, we developed a facile photo-assisted self-assembly strategy to synthesize the all 2D-layered heterojunction photocatalysts of SnS2/RGO/g-C3N4 nanosheets (NSs). During the synthesis process, the precursor of 2D graphene-oxide (GO) NSs was converted into the reduced GO (RGO) NSs by the photoactive semiconductors of 2D SnS2 and g-C3N4 NSs. Meanwhile, the above two 2D semiconductors were simultaneously anchored onto the surface of the RGO NSs. Upon visible-light irradiation of the synthesized SnS2/RGO/g-C3N4 NSs, the 2D RGO component could provide a broad electron transfer surface for the long-range spatial-separation of charge-carriers in the semiconductor components of the NSs. Thus, this all 2D-layered heterojunction photocatalyst exhibited -9.2 and -4.6-fold enhancement on the photocatalytic oxidation degradation of the organic dye, and -68 and -3.4-fold enhancement on photo catalytic protons reduction as compared to the pure SnS2 and g-C3N4 NSs, respectively.

Bead-like cobalt-nitrogen co-doped carbon nanocage/carbon nanofiber composite: a high-performance oxygen reduction electrocatalyst for zinc-air batteries

Bo Zhang, Yige Zhao, Lu Li, Yukun Li, Jin Zhang, Guosheng Shao, Peng Zhang

Summary: This study presents the preparation of a bead-like cobalt-nitrogen co-doped carbon nanocage/carbon nanofiber (Co-N-C/CNF) composite electrocatalyst using a one-step electrospinning method with subsequent pyrolysis. The Co-N-C/CNF catalyst exhibits excellent oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance surpassing even the commercial Pt/C catalyst, due to its fully exposed active sites and improved conductivity. Moreover, the Co-N-C/CNF catalyst also shows outstanding discharge performance in zinc-air batteries (ZAB). This study provides a new strategy for the preparation and structural design of efficient ORR catalysts derived from zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs).

Prediction of phosphate adsorption amount, capacity and kinetics via machine learning: A generally physical-based process and proposed strategy of using descriptive text messages to enrich datasets

Baiqin Zhou, Huiping Li, Ziyu Wang, Hui Huang, Yujun Wang, Ruichun Yang, Ranran Huo, Xiaoyan Xu, Ting Zhou, Xiaochen Dong

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
