Novel 3D flower-like bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) nanomaterials were obtained via a facile solvothermal method using bismuth nitrate (Bi(NO3)3) and potassium iodide (KI) as precursors and diethylene glycol as the capping reagent. The morphology of the BiOI nanoarchitecture strongly depends on the experimental conditions such as the presence of diethylene glycol and hydrothermal time. The photocatalytic property of the BiOI nanostructures by monitoring the degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) and methyl orange (MO) mixed dyes was studied under visible light illumination, which has not been reported previously. The degradation of single cationic RhB dye is faster when compared with that of anionic MO dye. This result is due to the surface negative charges on the BiOI nanoflowers that display good selectivity towards positive RhB dye organic groups owing to electrostatic attraction.

Novel visible-light responded aluminosilicophosphate-5 (SAPO-5)/g-C3N4 composite has been easily constructed by thermal polymerization for the mixture of SAPO-5, NH4Cl, and dicyandiamide. The photocatalytic activity of SAPO-5/g-C3N4 is evaluated by degrading RhB (30 mg/L) under visible light illumination (λ > 420 nm). The effects of SAPO-5 incorporation proportion and initial RhB concentration on the photocatalytic performance have been discussed in detail. The optimized SAPO-5/g-C3N4 composite shows promising degradation efficiency which is 40.6% higher than that of pure g-C3N4. The degradation rate improves from 0.007 min−1 to 0.022 min−1, which is a comparable photocatalytic performance compared with other g-C3N4-based heterojunctions for dye degradation. The migration of photo-induced electrons from g-C3N4 to the Al site of SAPO-5 should promote the photo-induced electron-hole pairs separation rate of g-C3N4 efficiently. Furthermore, the redox reactions for RhB degradation occur on the photo-induced holes in the g-C3N4 and Al sites in SAPO-5, respectively. This achievement not only improves the photocatalytic activity of g-C3N4 efficiently, but also broadens the application of SAPOs in the photocatalytic field.

By virtue of the systematic effects of S-doping on CeO2 and the ultrathin shell structure of CdS, the CeO2−xSx@CdS nanocomposite exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity under visible-light illumination for both H2 evolution (rate up to 1147.2 μmol g−1 h−1) and RhB degradation (efficiency reached 99.8%) as compared to CeO2, CeO2−xSx, and CdS.

La/Zr co-doping preserves visible light absorption of SrTaO2N, prohibits the formation of defects, improves surface hydrophilicity and charge separation conditions, all of which contribute to an enhanced photocatalytic activity for water reduction.
