Summary: CdIn2S4/ZnS (CIS/ZnS) nanocomposites were prepared using a one-step hydrothermal method and characterized by various techniques. The CdIn2S4/xZnS composites showed superior photocatalytic activity compared to pure ZnS and CdIn2S4, with the CdIn2S4/12ZnS catalyst exhibiting the best performance. The enhanced performance of CdIn2S4/xZnS can be attributed to the strong interaction, Z-scheme heterojunction formation, efficient charge separation, extended light response, and stronger redox properties. Additionally, the proposed hydrogen production mechanism suggests a Z-scheme photosystem. This study provides an effective method for modifying ZnS catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Summary: This study successfully prepared a novel Z-scheme 2D-ZnIn2S4/NiCoP heterojunction by coupling NiCoP derived from ZIF-67 with 2D-ZnIn2S4 lamellae. The Z-scheme structure of ZnIn2S4/NiCoP could suppress the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and enhance the photocatalytic hydrogen production. The enhanced performance is attributed to the avoidance of agglomeration, increased active sites, shortened transmission distance, and inhibition of recombination.

Summary: Fe3N/BiVO4 nanocomposites without noble metals were synthesized by a simple electrostatic self-assembly method. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-vis, and XPS to investigate their morphology, crystal structure, composition, and properties. The results showed that the nanocomposites exhibited higher hydrogen production efficiency and good cycle stability under visible light irradiation, which can be attributed to the formation of a Z-scheme heterojunction by loading Fe3N on the surface of BiVO4, thereby inhibiting the recombination of photogenerated electron hole pairs and improving the separation efficiency of charge carriers.

Summary: Metal-decorated oxide semiconductors are efficient photocatalysts for nonoxidative coupling of methane, but the detailed mechanism remains unknown. In this study, a series of noble metal-decorated oxides were investigated for methane coupling. It was found that the active sites for H abstraction and C-C coupling of CH4 were spatially separated. Noble metals, especially Ag, significantly decreased the energy barrier and promoted C-C coupling, leading to high CH4 conversion and selectivity. This work provides molecular-level insight into the CH4 coupling mechanism on metal-decorated photocatalysts.

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.
