The hierarchical structure of flabellate Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6 solid solution has been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method in the presence of a surfactant of PEG6000. The as-synthesized products are composed of nanosheets with similar orthorhombic Aurivillius layered structures. The flabellate Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6 solid solution has an average length of 4~5μmand width of 3~4μm and is composed of oblong nanosheets which has a length of several hundred nanometers, a width of ~600nm and a thickness of ~50nm. FT-IR spectra suggest that PEG6000 plays a vital role in the formation process of the flabellate Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6 hierarchical structures. UV-vis spectra indicate that the flabellate Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6 solid solution possessed photo absorption properties in the visible light region. The flabellate Bi2Mo0.5W0.5O6 solid solution exhibits highly efficient visible-light-driven activity for degradation of Rhodamine-B (RhB) under the 500W Xe lamp light irradiation.

A photocatalyst of high-performance hierarchical nitrogen-doped MoS2 (N-MoS2) microsphere was fabricated by an in situ hydrothermal method in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The as-prepared N-MoS2 microsphere was self-assembled by extremely thin interleaving petals, where CTAB acts as a nucleation site for the formation of the interleaving petals due to the strong interaction between CTA+ and [Formula: see text]. N-MoS2 showed higher N2 fixation ability (101.2 [Formula: see text] mol/g(cat)h) than the non-doped MoS2 under the visible light irradiation, and the improved photocatalytic activity could be ascribed to that the doped N narrows the band gap, and the surface reflecting and scattering effect caused by the hierarchical structure enhance the light adsorption. The trapping experiment of active species was also investigated to evaluate the role of photogenerated electrons in the photocatalytic reaction process. Meanwhile, the possible mechanism for the formation and excellent photocatalytic performance of N-MoS2 microsphere were also presented.

This paper reports the synthesis of a new nitrogen-doped porous bio-graphene (NPBG) with a specific biomorphic structure, using Pistacia lentiscus as a natural carbon source containing nitrogen that also acts as a bio-template. The obtained NPBG demonstrated the unique feature of doped nitrogen with a 3D nanoporous structure. Next, a WO3/N-doped porous bio-graphene nanocomposite (WO3/NPBG-NC) was synthesized, and the products were characterized using XPS, SEM, TEM, FT-IR, EDX, XRD, and Raman analyses. The presence of nitrogen doped in the structure of the bio-graphene (BG) was confirmed to be pyridinic-N and pyrrolic-N with N1 peaks at 398.3 eV and 400.5 eV, respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of the anionic azo dyes and drugs was investigated, and the results indicated that the obtained NPBG with a high surface area (151.98 m2/g), unique electronic properties, and modified surface improved the adsorption and photocatalytic properties in combination with WO3 nanoparticles (WO3-NPs) as an effective visible-light-driven photocatalyst. The synthesized WO3/NPBG-NC with a surface area of 226.92 m2/g displayed lower bandgap and higher electron transfer compared with blank WO3-NPs, leading to an increase in the photocatalytic performance through the enhancement of the separation of charge and a reduction in the recombination rate. At the optimum conditions of 0.015 g of the nanocomposite, a contact time of 15 min, and 100 mg/L of dyes, the removal percentages were 100%, 99.8%, and 98% for methyl red (MR), Congo red (CR), and methyl orange (MO), respectively. In the case of the drugs, 99% and 87% of tetracycline and acetaminophen, respectively, at a concentration of 10 mg/L, were removed after 20 min.
