Summary: Mesocrystals are fascinating multifunctional materials that can create rapid charge transport pathways, and surface engineering plays a significant role in boosting charge separation for efficient photocatalytic application. In this study, surface-engineered Ta2O5-x mesocrystals were synthesized, leading to enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity. The increased surface areas and surface hydroxyl groups compared to commercial Ta2O5 and pristine Ta2O5-x mesocrystals provide more surface reactive sites and high electron density centers for trapping photo-generated holes.

Summary: In this study, a ternary photocatalyst of g-C3N4/Ag-TMCs was prepared by photodepositing Ag nanoparticles on the surface of titanium dioxide mesocrystals followed by loading them on g-C3N4. The prepared photocatalyst exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity and the deposited Ag content positively influenced the photocatalytic degradation efficiency. The improved photocatalytic properties were attributed to the synergistic effect created by the LSPR effect of Ag, electron-conduction bridge role of Ag, and the heterojunction structure formed between Ag, TMCs, and g-C3N4.

Summary: Graphitic carbon nitrides (g-C3N4) suffer from narrow absorption ranges and high carrier recombination rates in photocatalysis applications. In this work, sulfur-doped high nitrogen containing carbon nitrides (C3N5, SCNs) are prepared by self-assembly of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (5-ATDT). The resulting SCNs exhibit an enhanced H-2-generation rate of 486 mu mol g(-1) h(-1), thanks to the enlarged light absorption range and enhanced charge carrier transfer rate. This work provides a unique approach for designing novel sulfur-doped carbon nitrides with unprecedented functionalities.
