An efficient visible-light driven three components photocatalyst for carbamazepine (CBZ) degradation has been assembled by co-loading reduction cocatalyst Pt and oxidation cocatalyst Co3O4 (MnOx) on BiVO4. An obvious synergetic effect is observed.

ZnFe2O4/ZnO nanoheterostructures are synthesized by a facile template method. The hydrogen generation rate of ZnFe2O4/ZnO nanoheterostructures without co-catalysts is up to 2.15 mmol h−1 g−1 under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm), which is 45 times higher than the best yields ever reported for ZnFe2O4-based photocatalysts.

Using a facile hydrothermal method, N-Br-codopedTiO2photocatalyst that had intense absorption in visible region was prepared at low temperature (100°C), through a direct reaction between nanocrystalline anataseTiO2solution and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) showed the existence of N-Ti-N, O-Ti-N-R,Ti3+(attribute to the doped Br atoms by charge compensation), andTiOxNyspecies, indicating the successful codoping of N and Br atoms, which were substituted for lattice oxygen without any influence on the crystalline phase ofTiO2. In contrast to the N-doped sample, the N-Br-codopedTiO2photocatalyst could more readily photodegrade methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation. The visible-light catalytic activity of thus-prepared photocatalyst resulted from the synergetic effect of the doped nitrogen and bromine, which not only gave high absorbance in the visible-light range, but also reduced electron-hole recombination rate.

Nanostructured conjugated polymers of diphenylbutadiyne (nano-PDPB) can perform photocatalytic water oxidation under visible light excitation. Charge recovery delayed in time was exemplified by the reduction of quinone acting as a hydrogen reservoir.

<p>Developing robust, multifunctional photocatalysts that can facilitate both hydrogen evolution <i>via</i> photoreforming of water and gas phase CO<sub>2</sub> photoreduction is highly desirable with the long-term vision of integrated photocatalytic setups. Here, we present a step-change in the family of boron oxynitride materials by introducing the first example of a B-doped boron oxynitride (B-BNO). This material resolves an on-going bottleneck associated with BN-based materials, i.e. the lack of photoactivity under visible light. Detailed EPR studies revealed distinct hyperfine interactions between the free oxygen radicals and 3 neighbouring boron nuclei. This confirmed isolated OB<sub>3 </sub>sites, which contribute to band gap narrowing, as the radical species and origin of paramagnetism in BNO materials. We show that B-BNO can facilitate both liquid phase H<sub>2 </sub>evolution and gas phase CO<sub>2</sub> photoreduction, using UV-Vis and deep visible irradiation (λ > 550 nm), without any co-catalysts. The evolution rates, quantum efficiencies, and selectivities observed for both reactions with B-BNO exceed those of its porous BNO counterpart, P25 TiO<sub>2</sub> and bulk g-C<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>.</p>
