As the concentration of the W dopant increased in the Bi2Mo1−xWxO6 nanosheets, the density of the oxygen vacancies became higher, which served as electron trap centers to lower the recombination rate and enhance the photocatalytic performance.

2D nanomaterials, with unique structural and electronic features, had been demonstrated as excellent photocatalysts, whose catalytic properties could be tunable with surface defect engineering. In this work, few-layer BiOBr nanosheets with oxygen vacancies (BiOBr-Ov) have been fabricated by a simple solvothermal reaction with the help of ethylene glycol. The obtained BiOBr-Ov exhibited the superior photocatalytic performance with a complete reduction of Cr(VI) (20 mg/L) within 12 min by visible light irradiation. Moreover, Cr(VI) with a high concentration (such as 30 mg/L) only requires 2 min to be photoreduced completely under solar light irradiation. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is contributed to the existence of oxygen vacancies. It has been proved by the results of electrochemical impedance and photocurrent that oxygen vacancies can effectively suppress recombination of photogenerated carriers.

S-doping orients the facet growth of BiOBr nanosheets from original exposed {010} plane towards {001}-dominant plane, resulting in narrower bandgap energy, higher efficient charges separation and oxygen vacancies (OVs) concentration.

A recyclable photoelectrode with high degradation capability for organic pollutants is crucial for environmental protection and, in this work, a novel CeO2 quantum dot (QDs)/Ag2Se Z-scheme photoelectrode boasting increased visible light absorption and fast separation and transfer of photo-induced carriers is prepared and demonstrated. A higher voltage increases the photocurrent and 95.8% of tetracycline (TC) is degraded by 10% CeO2 QDs/Ag2Se in 75 minutes. The degradation rate is superior to that achieved by photocatalysis (92.3% of TC in 90 min) or electrocatalysis (27.7% of TC in 90 min). Oxygen vacancies on the CeO2 QDs advance the separation and transfer of photogenerated carriers at the interfacial region. Free radical capture tests demonstrate that •O2−, •OH, and h+ are the principal active substances and, by also considering the bandgaps of CeO2 QDs and Ag2Se, the photocatalytic mechanism of CeO2 QDs/Ag2Se abides by the Z-scheme rather than the traditional heterojunction scheme. A small amount of metallic Ag formed in the photocatalysis process can form a high-speed charge transfer nano channel, which can greatly inhibit the photogenerated carrier recombination, improve the photocatalytic performance, and help form a steady Z-scheme photocatalysis system. This study would lay a foundation for the design of a Z-scheme solar photocatalytic system.
