Summary: In this study, a novel ternary composite material was prepared by combining titanium dioxide (TiO2) with hydroxyapatite (HA) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO). Methylene blue (MB) was used as the target pollutant to evaluate the photocatalytic activity of TiO2/HA/RGO. The results showed that the introduction of HA and RGO effectively enhanced the catalytic performance of TiO2. The ternary composite exhibited excellent dye removal effect, with a removal rate of 99.8% for MB under 120 minutes of simulated sunlight, which was 2 times that of TiO2/HA and 7 times that of TiO2. The improved photocatalytic activity of the ternary composite was mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between TiO2, HA, and RGO. This work provides a new idea for the synthesis of practical photocatalysts.

Summary: The design of functional coatings for touchscreens and haptic interfaces is crucial in electronic devices. This study developed photoactivated anti-fingerprint coatings by incorporating 2D-SnSe2 nanoflakes into ordered mesoporous titania thin films. The resulting heterostructures showed enhanced ability to remove fingerprints and improved photocatalytic activity. The addition of SnSe2 did not affect the self-assembly process and the three-dimensional pore structure of the films. Furthermore, exposure of the films to sunlight and UV light completely eliminated fingerprints, suggesting potential applications in self-cleaning mechanisms.

Summary: In this study, W2N was directly synthesized on Co-NC microarrays derived from metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) using magnetron sputtering. The Co-NC microarray support increased the number of surface activity sites exposed to W2N. Moreover, the formation of Co-NC@W2N Schottky heterojunctions significantly facilitated charge transfer between Co-NC and W2N. The Co-NC@W2N heterojunctions exhibited outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity, surpassing Pt/C catalyst at high current densities. This research provides a simple and environmentally friendly approach for fabricating high-performance metal-nitride catalysts for water splitting.

Summary: By calcining the mixture of ultrathin g-C3N4 and NaBH4, heteroatom B and N defect were introduced into the g-C3N4 structure. The modified g-C3N4 was then coupled with 2D flower-like CdS nanosheet to form a heterojunction. The optimized 2D/2D BDCNN/CdS-15% heterojunction showed excellent photocatalytic activity for H-2 production with a revolution rate of 1013.8 mu mol g(-1) h(-1), significantly higher than pristine CNN, BDCNN, and CdS. The band structure of 2D/2D BDCNN/CdS-15% was well tuned for improved visible-light absorption and higher separation efficiency of photo-induced carriers, leading to enhanced H-2 production performance. This study provides valuable insights for exploring g-C3N4 based heterojunctions with better H-2 production performance.

Summary: A novel Z-scheme ZnIn2S4/TiO2-x photocatalyst was successfully synthesized for the first time through self-sacrificing template-chemical bath deposition combined with a NaBH4 reduction method. The ZnIn2S4/TiO2-x showed high-efficient visible-light photocatalytic degradation of RhB with a rate of 91% within 40 minutes, which was significantly better than TiO2, ZnIn2S4/TiO2, and TiO2-x. The excellent photocatalytic performance was attributed to the synergistic effect of Ov, ZnIn2S4, and MOF-derived TiO2, which enhanced the visible-light photoresponse range and improved the separation of charge carriers.

Summary: In this study, MoS2 hollow nanospheres (HNS) were synthesized using Mo-glycerate as a precursor and applied to modify ZnIn2S4 nanosheets to create MoS2 HNS/ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts. The MoS2 HNS/ZnIn2S4 heterojunctions exhibited significantly enhanced photocatalytic properties and excellent reusability without the need for Pt as a co-catalyst. Among the heterojunctions, the optimized MoS2 HNS/ZnIn2S4-3 wt% composite showed nearly 5-fold and 34-fold higher efficiency in RhB degradation and H2 evolution than ZnIn2S4, respectively. The improved performance of MoS2 HNS/ZnIn2S4-3 wt% can be attributed to the expansion of visible-light response range and accelerated separation efficiency of photo-induced carriers, as revealed by optical property tests. Based on the established band gap position and characterization results, a potential mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of MoS2 HNS/ZnIn2S4 heterojunctions was proposed.

Summary: A novel two-dimensional magnetic nanocomposites were successfully synthesized by immobilizing Fe3O4 nanoparticles onto g-C3N4 nanosheets via a liquid exfoliated method and solvothermal reaction. The structural, morphological, compositional, thermal, and magnetic properties of the composites were characterized. The Fe3O4/g-C3N4 composites were used to fabricate a stable magnetorheological (MR) suspension, and its rheological performance and sedimentation stability were investigated. The MR fluid exhibited enhanced sedimentation stability compared to another suspension containing carbonyl iron particles, which can be attributed to the dispersed Fe3O4/g-C3N4 composite particles with ultrathin sheet-like nanostructure and reduced density mismatch.

Summary: This study presents the design and fabrication of novel g-C3N4/PDI@ZnIn2S4 2D/2D organic/inorganic hybrid heterojunctions, which are used as photocatalysts for the visible-light photodegradation of Rhodamine B. The composite photocatalysts displayed enhanced photocatalytic performance, with the optimal photocatalyst exhibiting significantly higher activity compared to other materials. The enhanced activity can be attributed to the close interface contact and matched band structure between g-C3N4/PDI and ZnIn2S4, which facilitate the separation and transfer of photo-induced charges, as well as the utilization of visible light. This work highlights the promising application prospects of g-C3N4/PDI@ZnIn2S4 photocatalysts in environmental remediation fields.

Summary: In order to overcome the drawbacks of CdS in photocatalytic processes, Bi2O2Se was prepared with a narrow band gap and unique optical and electrochemical properties, and used to fabricate Bi2O2Se/CdS heterojunctions through a facile in-situ self-assembly hydrothermal method. The synthesized Bi2O2Se/CdS heterojunctions demonstrated significantly stronger visible-light adsorption compared to CdS. Bi2O2Se/CdS with a mass ratio of 2% exhibited the best H2 production performance (lambda >= 420 nm), with a H2 evolution rate of 424 μ mol g(-1) h(-1), which was 24 times higher than that of CdS. This work provided new insights into designing heterojunction interfaces based on CdS to synthesize novel photocatalysts with high efficiency.

Summary: The present study focuses on designing a sensor with excellent sensitivity, high stability, and low cost at room temperature for rapid and simple detection of iodine (I2) in liquid and gaseous phase. A two-dimensional Au@Ag nanoparticle ordered array was prepared using a template method combined with chemical reduction. The array exhibited plasmonic surface lattice resonances (PSLR) peak in the extinction spectrum, which changed with the reaction of the Ag shell with I2, enabling multi-mode detection of liquid and gaseous I2 without sophisticated instruments. The ordered array showed good uniformity and stability, making it suitable for detecting I2 in a large concentration region. The Au@Ag nanoparticle array also demonstrated high sensitivity to gaseous I2 at room temperature, with a detection limit reaching trace level (1 ppb), indicating great potential for real-world application.
