In this work, highly crystalline CdS nanorods (NRs) were successfully synthesized by a facile, one-step solvothermal method. The as-prepared CdS NRs powder was characterized by XRD, FESEM, Raman, PL, XPS, BET, and UV-visible techniques to evaluate the structural, morphological, and optical properties. The photocatalytic performance of the as-synthesized CdS NRs was investigated for the photodegradation of RhB dye under visible light irradiations. It has been found that CdS NRs show maximum RhB degradation efficiency of 88.4% in 120 min. The excellent photodegradation ability of the CdS NRs can be attributed to their rod-like structure together with their large surface area and surface state. The kinetic study indicated that the photodegradation process was best described by the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The possible mechanism for the photodegradation of RhB dye over CdS NRs was proposed in this paper.

A new photocatalyst structure, dendritic hierarchical AgCl assembled by numerous nanoscaled particles, was obtained via simple and effective one-step gas–solid interfacial method for the first time. The macromorphology of the prepared AgCl also displays a dendritic shape as the microperspective. The Ag–AgCl made from the dendritic hierarchical AgCl exhibits a stable photocatalytic performance.

In this paper, we propose for the first time the synthesis of α-MoO3 nanorods in a one-step procedure at mild temperatures. By changing the growth parameters, the microstructure and controllable morphology of the resulting products can be customized. The average diameter of the as-prepared nanorods is about 200 nm. The electrochromic and capacitance properties of the synthesized products were studied. The results show that the electrochromic properties of α-MoO3 nanorods at 550 nm have 67% high transmission contrast, good cycle stability and fast response time. The MoO3 nanorods also exhibit a stable supercapacitor performance with 98.5% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles. Although current density varies sequentially, the nanostructure always exhibits a stable capacitor to maintain 100%. These results indicate the as-prepared MoO3 nanorods may be good candidates for applications in electrochromic devices and supercapacitors.

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.
