Summary: Different mass percent ratios of CoFe2O4 coupled g-C3N4 nanocomposites were prepared through a hydrothermal process for the sonocatalytic degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride in aqueous media. The best degradation efficiency of 26.71% in 10 minutes was achieved when the amount of CoFe2O4 was 25% in the nanocomposite. This enhanced efficiency was attributed to the accelerated charge transfer and separation through the heterojunctional interface. The results of this work provide an easy approach for fabricating highly efficient low-cost magnetic sonocatalysts for the eradication of hazardous materials in the environment.

Summary: Photocatalytic technology is a cutting-edge approach for water pollution treatment, and constructing heterojunctions can enhance the performance of photocatalysts. In this study, a three-component g-C3N4/g-C3N4 isotype heterojunction/bismuth-based halide perovskite (g-C3N4-ISO/BHP) composite was fabricated by growing bismuth-based halide perovskite (BHP) onto the surface of g-C3N4/g-C3N4 isotype heterojunction (g-C3N4-ISO) layers using a solvothermal method. The crystalline structure, morphology, chemical composition/states, optical characteristics, and charge-carrier dynamics of the composite were investigated. The g-C3N4-ISO/BHP composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activity under white LED light, with a degradation percentage of 73.2%, surpassing the mixed-phase g-C3N4-ISO (61.4%) and bare BHP (62.5%). The control of component content improved charge transfer and the S-scheme charge transfer mechanism was verified to function on the g-C3N4-ISO/BHP composite, leading to robust redox ability, effective charge carrier separation, and extended lifetime. This study presents a practical approach for constructing efficient three-component composites for photocatalytic water treatment.

Summary: The widespread use of antibiotics has led to serious environmental issues, and there is an urgent need for new treatments to remove these substances from wastewater. In this study, a new approach using the NiFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterostructure was proposed to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) under visible light (VL) for degradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) in simulated wastewater. The NiFe2O4/g-C3N4/PMS/VL system effectively removed TCH over a wide pH range and in the presence of various anions commonly found in wastewater. The superior degradation performance of the composite was attributed to the synergistic effect between heterojunction photocatalysis and PMS activation, generating highly oxidizing species that effectively degraded TCH. Additionally, the magnetic properties of the heterostructure facilitated separation and reuse of the photocatalyst.

Summary: A Fe/graphitic carbon nitride/kaolinite composite photocatalyst was successfully prepared for the first time and showed high degradation efficiency for TCH in the photo-Fenton system. Free radical scavenging experiments confirmed that hydroxyl radicals were the main active substances. The enhanced photocatalytic activity of the composite can be attributed to the large specific surface area of kaolinite and Fe acting as a photo-generated electron acceptor.

Summary: Regulating charge carrier transfer kinetics in multi-component hetero-structures through surface-interface design is crucial for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. In this work, a novel CoSe2/CNNS composite is synthesized for the first time via a high-temperature calcination method followed by an in-situ hot injection process. The optimized 7.5% CoSe2/CNNS heterostructure exhibits a moderate hydrogen production rate of 1386.8 mmol center dot g-1 center dot h-1 and efficient mineralization of tetracycline hydrochloride (40.6%) within 120 min under light irradiation. The study also analyzes the charge migration behaviors, generation process, and function of various radical species. Moreover, the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction process and the intermediates and active species for tetracycline hydrochloride degradation are discussed. The enhanced photocatalytic activity is attributed to the material's light trapping ability, rapid photocarriers transfer efficiency, and accelerated H2O2 decomposition ability via a continuous reduction route.
