The serious problems of environmental pollution and energy shortage have pushed the green economy photocatalysis technology to the forefront of research. Therefore, the development of an efficient and environmentally friendly photocatalyst has become a hotpot. In this work, magnetic Fe3O4/C/MnO2/C3N4 composite as photocatalyst was synthesized by combining in situ coating with low-temperature reassembling of CN precursors. Morphology and structure characterization showed that the composite photocatalyst has a hollow core–shell flower-like structure. In the composite, the magnetic Fe3O4 core was convenient for magnetic separation and recovery. The introduction of conductive C layer could avoid recombining photo-generated electrons and holes effectively. Ultra-thin g-C3N4 layer could fully contact with coupled semiconductor. A Z-type heterojunction between g-C3N4 and flower-like MnO2 was constructed to improve photocatalytic performance. Under the simulated visible light, 15 wt% photocatalyst exhibited 94.11% degradation efficiency in 140 min for degrading methyl orange and good recyclability in the cycle experiment.

Solar‐driven conversion of CO2 into high value‐added fuels is expected to be an environmental‐friendly and sustainable approach for relieving the greenhouse gas effect and countering energy crisis. Metal sulfide semiconductors with wide photoresponsive range and favorable band structures are suitable photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction. This review summarizes the recent progress on metal sulfide semiconductors for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. First, the fundamentals, mechanisms and some principles, like product selectivity, of photocatalytic CO2 reduction are introduced. Then, according to the elemental composition, the metal sulfide photocatalysts applied for CO2 reduction are classified into binary (CdS, ZnS, MoS2, SnS2, Bi2S3, In2S3,Cu2S, NiS/NiS2, and CoS2), ternary (ZnIn2S4, CdIn2S4, CuInS2, Cu3SnS4, and CuGaS2), and quaternary (Cu2ZnSnS4) systems, in which their crystal structures, photochemical characteristics, and photocatalytic CO2 reduction applications are systematically demonstrated. Especially, the diverse modification strategies for improving the activity and product selectivity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction on these metal sulfides are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future directions for the development of metal sulfide photocatalysts for CO2 reduction are proposed. This review is expected to serve as a powerful reference for exploiting high‐efficiency metal sulfide photocatalysts for CO2 conversion and furthering related mechanism understanding.

Upcycling of Wastewater via Effective Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production Using MnO2 Nanoparticles—Decorated Activated Carbon Nanoflakes

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the present work, we demonstrated the upcycling technique of effective wastewater treatment via photocatalytic hydrogen production by using the nanocomposites of manganese oxide-decorated activated carbon (MnO2-AC). The nanocomposites were sonochemically synthesized in pure water by utilizing MnO2 nanoparticles and AC nanoflakes that had been prepared through green routes using the extracts of Brassica oleracea and Azadirachta indica, respectively. MnO2-AC nanocomposites were confirmed to exist in the form of nanopebbles with a high specific surface area of ~109 m2/g. When using the MnO2-AC nanocomposites as a photocatalyst for the wastewater treatment, they exhibited highly efficient hydrogen production activity. Namely, the high hydrogen production rate (395 mL/h) was achieved when splitting the synthetic sulphide effluent (S2− = 0.2 M) via the photocatalytic reaction by using MnO2-AC. The results stand for the excellent energy-conversion capability of the MnO2-AC nanocomposites, particularly, for photocatalytic splitting of hydrogen from sulphide wastewater.
