Summary: Simultaneously integrating heterogeneous interface, element doping, and metal decorating is an effective strategy for enhancing visible-light-driven photocatalytic activity. In this study, a facile solvothermal route was employed to synthesize Ni-doped BiOBr/Bi-0 with ZnO 3D hierarchical heterojunction (Z@B/Bi-Ni). The optimized Z@B/Bi-Ni photocatalysts exhibited remarkable catalytic performance, outperforming other photocatalysts, towards the degradation of tetracycline solution under visible light. The enhanced photocatalytic mechanism was attributed to the unique morphologies, surface plasmonic resonance effect, and Ni doping in Z@B/Bi-Ni, which were elucidated by a series of experiments, characterization, and DFT calculations. This research provides new insights for the design of hierarchical heterojunction photocatalysts.

Summary: The fabrication of a MIL-125(Ti)/BiOCl type-II heterojunction photocatalyst through solvothermal method was investigated. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of the photocatalyst for multiple antibiotics degradation was attributed to the construction of a heterojunction, which inhibits carrier recombination and enhances visible-light absorption. Superoxide radicals and holes were determined to be the main species in the photocatalytic process. A potential photocatalytic mechanism was presented to explain the observations. Overall, this study provides guidelines for developing photocatalysts with visible-light responses and removing multiple antibiotics from water more efficiently.

Summary: In this study, high-crystalline g-C3N4 samples, including K-CCN, Li/K-CCN, and Li/Na/K-CCN, were prepared via the molten salt strategy using pre-prepared BCN as a precursor. The Li/Na/K-CCN sample exhibited the highest photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rates and the highest apparent quantum yield compared to other CCN samples. The improved photocatalytic performance of Li/Na/K-CCN is attributed to the construction of type-II heterojunction and the institution of the built-in electric field between triazine-based CCN and heptazine-based BCN.

Summary: The type-I MIL-125(Ti)@BiOBr heterojunction was prepared using a wet chemical method, and the introduction of self-doped Ti3+ transformed the heterojunction into a type-II TiO2@BiOBr core-shell hollow heterojunction in situ. The self-doping and heterogeneous interface contact of Ti3+ synergistically promote the photocatalytic activity. The optimized Ti@BOB-3(m(MIL-125(Ti)): m(BiOBr) = 2:5) exhibits higher degradation rate and first-order rate constant compared to MIL-125(Ti) and BiOBr alone. UV-Vis diffuse reflection and photodegradation experiments show that the type-II TiO2@BiOBr heterojunction has a broader light response range and better photocatalytic performance. DFT calculation further investigated the energy band structure and forbidden band width of the heterojunction. Active species capture experiment and EPR spectrum analysis confirmed the main photoactive substances in the photodegradation process. This research provides a foundation for the in-situ transformation design of different types of heterojunctions.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
