Visible light-degradable supramolecular gels were designed using polyrotaxanes (PRXs) containing a bulky trithiocarbonate group as stopper molecules that are cleaved by visible light irradiation. The visible-light-degradable PRXs comprise poly(ethylene glycol)...

p-n heterojunction Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni thin films were prepared by electrochemical co-deposition. The surface morphology and structural properties of the thin films were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). The photocatalytic (PC) properties of the Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni composite thin films were investigated by their ability to degrade rhodamine B (RhB) and Congo red (CR) under visible light irradiation. The results showed that the photodegradation efficiency of RhB by an Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni thin film under visible-light irradiation for 30[Formula: see text]min (98.84%) was 2.64 times higher than that of an Ag3PO4/Ni thin film and 3.44 times higher than of an Ag2CO3/Ni thin film. The presence of a [Formula: see text]-[Formula: see text] heterojunction greatly increased the charge conductivity of the film and its ability to photocatalytically reduce dissolved oxygen, which are the main reasons for the improved PC performance of the Ag2CO3/Ag3PO4/Ni films.

In this study, a novel porphyrin dye, 5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenyl-21H, 23H-porphine nickel (TPPN) doped TiO2 (TiO2/TPPN) thin film with visible light respondency was prepared using a sol–gel method and characterized with XRD, SEM, UV-Vis instruments. The observation showed that the absorption edge of TPPN dye-doped thin film shifted into the visible light region. The photocatalytic indigo carmine degradation results showed that under visible light irradiation (λ > 400 nm) for 6 hrs, the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 thin film sensitized with 200 μM of TPPN dye showed the best performance, with an indigo degradation ratio up to 96%. Moreover, the TiO2/TPPN thin film showed a relevant photocatalytic bactericidal effect on Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora 7 induced vegetable soft rot disease in the visible spectral region. Evidence for the photocatalytic disinfection technique against a plant pathogen under visible light irradiation will have potential for direct application in future control of plant diseases in irrigation water systems.
