Summary: Zn3In2S6/Bi2MoO6 S-scheme heterojunctions with excellent redox ability and high stability were synthesized by hydrothermal reaction. The highest reaction constant of Zn3In2S6/Bi2MoO6-10% was 0.0463 min(-1), which was 2.17 times higher than that of single Zn3In2S6. The preparation cost of Zn3In2S6/Bi2MoO6 was also lower than other high-efficiency photo-catalysts. The study provides a strong basis for the degradation of pollutants by S-scheme heterojunctions.

Summary: In this study, a ternary composite Ag/AgBr/Li2ZrO3 was successfully designed, prepared, and applied for the photodegradation of organic dyes. The as-synthesized composite exhibited significantly higher degradation efficiency towards the dyes compared to the parent material Li2ZrO3, mainly due to its better absorption of visible light and lower electron-hole recombination rate. The relationship between the structural properties of the composite and its photocatalytic activity was discussed, and a possible degradation reaction mechanism was proposed.

Summary: In this study, heterogeneous photocatalysts were prepared and characterized to improve the separation efficiency of photogenerated carriers. The Bi2MoO6/g-C3N4 composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic performance due to the band structures of g-C3N4 and Bi2MoO6 promoting the migration of photogenerated carriers and reducing the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. The photocatalytic process was mainly driven by superoxide free radicals.

Summary: This study focuses on manganese doped CdS thin films synthesized by chemical bath deposition. The incorporation of Mn2+ cations in CdS was found to influence the crystalline structure, morphology, and optoelectronic properties. Doped thin films exhibited a uniform hexagonal structure, changed growth orientation, and showed scale-like and needle-like morphologies. The bandgap and rectification speed of Schottky diodes were modified by introducing manganese. This study suggests the potential for affordable high-speed optoelectronic devices.
