AbstractThe strategy to improve the photocatalytic removal efficiencies towards organic pollutants is still a challenge for the novel Sillen–Aurivillius perovskite type Bi4NbO8Cl. Herein, we report carbon-supported TiO2/Bi4NbO8Cl (C-TiO2/Bi4NbO8Cl) heterostructures with enhanced charge separation efficiency, which were fabricated via molten-salt flux process. The carbon-supported TiO2 particles were derived from MXene Ti3C2 precursors, and attached on plate-like Bi4NbO8Cl, acting as electron-traps to achieve supressed recombination of photo-induced charges. The improved charge separation confers C-TiO2/Bi4NbO8Cl heterostructures superior photocatalytic performance with 53% higher than pristine Bi4NbO8Cl, towards rhodamine B removal with the help of photo-induced holes. Moreover, the C-TiO2/Bi4NbO8Cl heterostructures can be expanded to deal with other water contaminants, such as methyl orange, ciprofloxacin and 2,4-dichlorophenol with 44, 25 and 13% promotion, respectively, and thus the study offers a series of efficient photocatalysts for water purification.

Polymeric carbon nitride is a promising candidate for metal-free photocatalysis, but it is hampered by low activity due to poor carrier separation efficiency and lack of active sites.

Disordered intermolecular interaction carbon nitride precursor prepared by water-assisted grinding of dicyandiamide was used for synthesis of g-C3N4. The final sample possesses much looser structure and provides a broadening optical window for effective light harvesting and charge separation efficiency, which exhibits significantly improved H2evolution by photocatalytic water splitting. The bottom-up mechanochemistry method opens new vistas towards the potential applications of weak interactions in the photocatalysis field and may also stimulate novel ideas completely different from traditional ones for the design and optimization of photocatalysts.

The increasing dangerous chemical pollutants led by shipping accidents call for the new pollutant treatment strategy. In this work, a new three-component hybrid {[(BiI6)I13]·2I3·(H-BPA)4}n (1) can be used in dye degradation in seawater. The highly interesting feature of 1 lies in its unique 1-D Z-shape [(BiI6)I13]n6− infinite chain constructed from the I···I contacts between mono-nuclear (BiI6)3− anions and I133− polyiodide anions. Finally, the hydrogen bonds between [(BiI6)I13]n6− polyanions and H-BPA2+ cations contribute to the formation a quasi-3-D network. Specifically, 1 exhibits the wide absorption zone from ultraviolet to visible regions and high charge-separation efficiency, hinting its application in visible-light catalysis. As expected, 1 represents photocatalytic activity for the degradation of rhodamine B in seawater with degradation ratio of 90%, and the photocatalytic performance is stable. This work might provide new photocatalytic material for pollutant treatment in shipping accidents.
