In this paper, a novel heterostructure of 0D/3D-CdSe/Bi[Formula: see text]TiO[Formula: see text] pyramidal photocatalyst was synthesized and characterized. It exhibited significantly photocatalytic efficiency in photocatalytic degradation of the tetracycline than pure Bi[Formula: see text]TiO2 and CdSe and showed high stability. The enhanced photocatalytic activity might be attributed to the formation of heterostructure between CdSe QDs and 3D Bi[Formula: see text]TiO[Formula: see text], in which CdSe QDs served as electron trapper to improve the separation of photodegradation electron–hole pairs, and provided a number of active adsorption sites for the photogenerated of pollutants. The photocatalytic mechanism of 0D/3D-CdSe/Bi[Formula: see text]TiO[Formula: see text] pyramidal heterostructure was also proposed.

High-throughput production of highly efficient photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution remains a considerable challenge for materials scientists. Here, we produced extremely uniform high-quality graphene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoplatelets through the electrochemical-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation, out of which we subsequently fabricated MoS2/graphene van der Waals heterostructures. Ultimately, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were deposited into these two-dimensional heterostructures to produce an artificial ZnO/MoS2/graphene nanocomposite. This new composite experimentally exhibited an excellent photocatalytic efficiency in hydrogen evolution under the sunlight illumination ( λ > 400   n m ), owing to the extremely high electron mobilities in graphene nanoplatelets and the significant visible-light absorptions of MoS2. Moreover, due to the synergistic effects in MoS2 and graphene, the lifetime of excited carriers increased dramatically, which considerably improved the photocatalytic efficiency of the ZnO/MoS2/graphene heterostructure. We conclude that the novel artificial heterostructure presented here shows great potential for the high-efficient photocatalytic hydrogen generation and the high throughput production of visible-light photocatalysts for industrial applications.

Bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) is one of the potential visible-light photocatalytic materials, however, due to low electron mobility and short minority carrier diffusion length, the photocatalytic activity of Bi2O3 is restricted. The GQD/Bi2O3 composites were synthesized stably depositing single-crystalline graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with absorption edge at ~10nm, prepared by using a top-down method. The GQDBi2O3 heterojunctions were successfully established, the photo-generated electrons transfer from the Bi2O3 to the GQDs at the interface of the GQD-Bi2O3 heterojunctions, result in efficient electron-hole pairs separation and higher photocatalytic efficiency. The optimum visible performance is achieved at GQD content of 1.0 wt %, the RhB dye was nearly completely decoloured after 90 min of visible-light irradiation, and then decrease at higher doping levels due to the thicker GQD layer will cover the active sites of Bi2O3, thus leading to the greatly reduced catalytic activity.
