Visible Light Driven VO2/g‐C3N4 Z‐Scheme Composite Photocatalysts for Selective Oxidation of DL‐1‐Phenylethyl Alcohol under Vis‐LEDs Irradiation and Aerobic Oxidation

“…Among semiconductor photocatalysts, VO 2 acts as a potential material due to its narrow bandgap (0.7 eV), robust oxidation, and excellent photoelectric performance [16] . Recently, many pieces of research on the composite of VOx and other materials have been reported, such as TiO 2 /VO 2 , [17] VO 2 /ZnV 2 O 4 , [18] VO 2 /CuWO 4 , [19] Ag/AgBr/VO/PCN, [20] and VOx/g‐C 3 N 4 [21] . By combining VO 2 and g‐C 3 N 4 , a VO 2 /g‐C 3 N 4 heterojunction can be formed, in which photo‐generated electron‐hole pair transfer is conducted, separation capabilities are exhibited, and the recombination of photo‐excited electron‐hole pairs is minimized.…”

“…[5] Compared with conventional methods, besides offering a green route to replace environmentally harmful processes, photocatalytic processes can exhibit high selectivity as well. [6] The choice of the light source refers to a such as TiO 2 /VO 2 , [17] VO 2 /ZnV 2 O 4 , [18] VO 2 /CuWO 4 , [19] Ag/AgBr/VO/ PCN, [20] and VOx/g-C 3 N 4 . [21] By combining VO 2 and g-C 3 N 4 , a VO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 heterojunction can be formed, in which photogenerated electron-hole pair transfer is conducted, separation capabilities are exhibited, and the recombination of photoexcited electron-hole pairs is minimized.…”

Facile Solvothermal Synthesis of Hollow BiOBr Submicrospheres with Enhanced Visible-Light-Responsive Photocatalytic Performance

“…Up till now, numerous pioneer researches have proved that the photocatalytic activities of a semiconductor are hugely dependent upon its size, configuration, and shape [6,7]. In this context, the specific microstructures of photocatalysts have been tuned finely to improve their photocatalytic activities [8][9][10]. Furthermore, the BiOBr-based materials with various shapes including nanoplates, nanosheets (NSs), microspheres, and nanoflakes have been well exploited for photocatalytic applications [11][12][13][14][15].…”
