In this paper, a AgI@TCNQ photocatalyst with a core-shell structure was reported. A two-dimensional TCNQ (7,7,8,8-Tetracyanoquinodimethane) nanosheet, with a π-π conjugate structure, was used as a shell layer to realize the flexible coating on the surface of AgI nanoparticles. These special core-shell structure composites solve the key problems of the small interface of the bulk composites and the lesser charge transfer paths, which could accelerate the migration of photogenerated carriers. Thus, the AgI@TCNQ photocatalysts showed the better photodegradation performance for the methylene blue (MB) solution, and the degradation rate of AgI@TCNQ (1 wt.%) composite was 1.8 times than AgI under irradiation. The reactive species trapping experiments demonstrated that ·O2−, h+, and ·OH all participated in the MB degradation process. The photocatalytic mechanism of AgI@TCNQ composites could be rationally explained by considering the Z-scheme structure, resulting in a higher redox potential and more efficient separation of charge carriers. At the same time, the unique core-shell structure provides a larger contact area, expands the charge transport channel, and increases the surface active sites, which are beneficial for improving photocatalytic performance.

The core-shell structure NiFe2O4@TiO2 nanoparticles was successfully prepared using a sol-gel method, the influence of shell thickness and calcination temperatures on the composition, microstructure, magnetic properties and visible-light catalytic activity of the nanoparticles was studied by XRD, TEM, Uv–vis, vibrating sample magnetometer, etc. Results showed the main composition of core in NiFe2O4@TiO2 was spinel ferrite, and the shell was anatase TiO2, and theshell thickness increased significantly with the increase of TiO2 content, ranging from 10nm to 50nm. The Ms and Mr of nanoparticles decreased with the increase of TiO2 content, and no obvious reaction between the magnetic core and shell occurred; visible-light degradation percent of NiFe2O4@TiO2 nanoparticles increased along with the increase of TiO2 content, whereas the recovery rate of it decreased. Degradation percent and the recovery percent of NiFe2O4@TiO2-50 still reached 93.7% and 90.5%, even after 10 cycle times, respectively, possessing the excellent long-term stability.
