Summary: Here, we presented the fabrication of well-crystalline metal-doped BiOCl nanoscale photocatalytic materials through solvothermal synthetic route. Ni doping significantly improved the photocatalytic and antibacterial behavior of BiOCl. The morphological study showed that different metal dopings led to the formation of nanosheet (Ni, Cd), nanoflower (Mo), and nanodisc (Co) morphologies, while Ni doping resulted in large size nanosheets with increased surface area and improved porous structure. The inclusion of Ni into BiOCl nanostructure shifted the band gap and reduced electron-hole recombination, contributing to its excellent photocatalytic performance. Additionally, Ni-BiOCl exhibited excellent photocatalytic antibacterial activity against S. aureus bacteria under visible light.

Summary: In this study, heterostructured BiOCl-LaOCl composites were synthesized using KCl as a source of chlorine and varying contents of LaOCl as raw materials in the presence of ethylene glycol at a temperature of 100 degrees C by using the solvothermal method. The prepared composites were characterized and showed excellent photocatalytic activity for degrading Rhodamine B dye under sunlight irradiation. The BiOCl-LaOCl-1 composite exhibited the highest catalytic activity among all the synthesized materials, with a reaction rate four and six times higher than those of BiOCl-LaOCl-2 and BiOCl, respectively. The scavenger test results indicated that superoxide and hole radicals were mainly responsible for the photodegradation, and the high BET surface area of the composite also contributed to its enhanced photocatalytic activity.

Summary: In this study, Z-scheme CdS/BiOCl visible light reactive photocatalysts were synthesized in one step. The composition, morphology, optical absorption property, and degradation mechanism of the binary composites were investigated. The CdS/BiOCl composite photocatalysts showed enhanced photocatalytic performance, with 5-CdS/BiOCl exhibiting the highest degradation rate (up to 94%). The improved capability of CdS/BiOCl photocatalysts was attributed to their low carrier recombination and extended light response range. This study provides a new idea for wastewater purification.

Summary: The construction of heterostructures is an effective strategy to enhance catalytic activity, but achieving modulation of the interlayer spacing for further performance improvement remains a challenge. In this study, strong interfacial coupling between CoSe2 and MoSe2 was achieved by constructing CoSe2/MoSe2 heterostructures, resulting in a compressed interlayer spacing of MoSe2. The enhanced charge transfer was confirmed by spectroscopic techniques. Coupled with the morphology of hollow microtubes, the CoSe2/MoSe2 heterostructures exhibited high activity and excellent stability, surpassing other similar powdered electrocatalysts.

Summary: The transparent AgInS2 quantum dots/NiO/Ti3+-TiO2 orderly nanoarray pn junction is successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal-solid reduction-chemical-sputtering method. The obtained AgInS2 QDs/NiO/Ti3+-TiO2 exhibits a transmittance of about 85% and a photovoltaic conversion efficiency of about 1.21%, with stable output for a duration of 6 months' cycle. These features are mainly attributed to the synergism of AgInS2 QDs and Ti3+/O-v, which can efficiently optimize the carrier kinetic equilibrium while sustaining good transparency. In addition, the TiO2 nanoarrays with orderly array interval can increase the solar efficiency and enhance the photovoltaic stability.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
