“…[ 4–15 ] Extensive research has been conducted to improve solar energy conversion efficiency. [ 4,6–15 ] The center of the device is the photoelectrode, whose material and structure both play vital roles in the performance of the device. The ideal photoelectrode semiconductor material should have a bandgap large enough (>1.6 eV) to split water and small enough (<2.2 eV) to absorb wide range solar spectrum.…”

Surface States of Mo-Doped BiVO4 Nanoparticle-Based Photoanodes for Photoelectrochemical Degradation of Chloramphenicol

“…This is attributed to its relatively narrow band gap, excellent visible light absorption properties, nontoxicity, low cost, and high chemical stability. , However, the catalytic performance of BiVO 4 is limited by factors such as low carrier concentration, slow oxidation kinetics, and the facile recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. − To overcome these limitations, current prevalent approaches for modifying BiVO 4 involve element doping, precious metal loading, semiconductor composite, etc . These techniques enhance catalytic performance through various mechanisms, including improving semiconductor conductivity, increasing carrier concentration, and facilitating efficient separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. − …”

Confining Metal‐Organic Framework in the Pore of Covalent Organic Framework: A Microscale Z‐Scheme System for Boosting Photocatalytic Performance

“…[5][6][7][8] Various semiconductor nanomaterials, such as metal carbides, metal nitrides, metal oxides, metal sulfides, metal borates/borides, metal vanadates, metal phosphates, and boron nitrides have been investigated as photocatalysts. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] However, in a single material, the opposite response of light absorption range with redox ability induced by the semiconductor bandgaps, and the poor photoexcited electron-hole separation efficiency remarkably limits its practical applications. [18][19][20] Many nanostructured engineering strategies like metal doping, the formation of heterojunctions, and the design of co-catalyst loading have been employed to improve photocatalytic efficiency.…”
