Silver-based photocatalytic semiconducting materials have drawn the attention of reseachers for their high visible photocatalytic activity. However, the silver-based photocatalytic semiconducting material exhibits light corrosion during the photocatalytic reaction, and the photocatalytic stability is poor. Therefore, improvingthe photocatalytic stability and inhibition of light corrosion of silver-based photocatalytic semiconductor materials have been the focus of attention. In this paper, according to the principle of photocatalysis and the principle of photo-corrosion, it is proposed to improve the photogenerated electrons and hole separation of photocatalytic semiconductor materials, to rapidly transfer photogenerated electrons, to inhibit photogenerated electrons and Ag + to prevent light corrosion, Stability of the catalyst. Ag2CO3 / GO composite photocatalytic materials were synthesized by precipitation method using polystyrene as photocatalyst. The characterization and photocatalytic performance tests showed that the graphene has a good auxiliary effect, which can promote the separation of photogenerated electrons and holes of Ag2CO3 and transfer the photogenerated electrons into O2 in H2O in time, thus suppressing the light of Ag2CO3 / GO photocatalytic materials Corrosion phenomenon, improve the photocatalytic performance. Ag2CO3 / GO-1.0 has the best catalytic activity for the catalytic activity and stability of Ag2CO3 / GO in the photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange. Therefore, graphene as a photocatalytic auxiliaries can effectively improve the photocatalytic stability of silver-based photocatalytic materials and have some reference significance for improving the stability of other photocatalytic materials which are prone to light corrosion.

In this study, the Ag3PO4/SnO2 heterojunction on carbon cloth (Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC) was successfully fabricated via a facile two-step process. The results showed that the Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC heterojunction exhibited a remarkable photocatalytic performance for the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) and methylene blue (MB), under visible light irradiation. The calculated k values for the degradation of RhB and MB over Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC are 0.04716 min−1 and 0.04916 min−1, which are higher than those calculated for the reactions over Ag3PO4/SnO2, Ag3PO4/CC and SnO2/CC, respectively. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could mainly be attributed to the improved separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, after the formation of the Ag3PO4/SnO2/CC heterojunction. Moreover, carbon cloth with a large specific surface area and excellent conductivity was used as the substrate, which helped to increase the contact area of dye solution with photocatalysts and the rapid transfer of photogenerated electrons. Notably, when compared with the powder catalyst, the catalysts supported on carbon cloth are easier to quickly recycle from the pollutant solution, thereby reducing the probability of recontamination.

Considering the photocatalytic performance of CDs, ZnO, and the unique porous nanostructure and stability of ZIF-8, we prepared ZnCDs/ZnO@ZIF-8 zeolite composites. The resultant material represented an enhanced ability for the photodegradation of TC compared with that of ZnCDs and ZnO. The photocatalytic degradation efficiency reached over 85%. The catalytic activity of the composites was maintained after four cycles. The experimental result indicated that ×O2 radical was the active species in the reaction.

In this study, silver orthophosphate@carbon layer ( Ag 3 PO 4@ C ) core/shell heterostructure photocatalyst was prepared for the first time. The results showed that a uniform carbon layer was formed around the Ag 3 PO 4. By adjusting the hydrothermal fabrication parameters, the thickness of carbon layer could be easily controlled. Furthermore, the Ag 3 PO 4@ C had remarkable light absorption in the visible region. Photocatalytic tests displayed that the Ag 3 PO 4@ C heterostructures possessed a much higher degradation rate of phenol than pure Ag 3 PO 4 under visible light. The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to high separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes based on the synergistic effect between carbon as a sensitizer and Ag 3 PO 4. Recycle tests showed that the Ag 3 PO 4@ C core/shell heterostructures maintained high stability over several cycles. The good stability could be attributed to the protection of insoluble carbon layer on the surfaces of Ag 3 PO 4 crystals in aqueous solution.

By facilely pre-implanting Co[Formula: see text] ions in the graphene oxide, a novel 5,15-diphenyl-10,20-di(4-pyridyl)porphyrin pillared graphene oxide was fabricated by means of electrostatic interaction and coordination interaction. It was shown that the morphology and the structure of graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite were modified by introducing Co[Formula: see text] ions on the interface between graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin. Furthermore, it was found that the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity over the Co[Formula: see text] ions implanted in the graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite was evidently higher than in the graphene oxide and pyridylporphyrin nanocomposite without Co[Formula: see text]. This confirmed that strong interaction and efficient electron transfer between pyridylporphyrin and graphene oxide are the important reasons for the enhanced photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution. Subsequently, this technique will be a simple and efficient approach to optimize the transfer pathway of photogenerated electrons and to improve photocatalytic performance by implanting metal ions in the interface of nanocomposites.
