In Situ Conversion of Ti3C2 MXene to Sandwich Ti3C2/R-TiO2 for Promoted Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production

“…Nowadays, the large-scale exploitation of traditional fossil energy not only causes energy crisis but also releases a large amount of carbon dioxide, resulting in the greenhouse effect and thus has an impact on the ecological environment. − Hydrogen energy, as the cleanest energy in the world, has a high calorific value of combustion and is a potential secondary energy source . In a variety of hydrogen production methods, photocatalysis has been widely concerned in recent years because of its advantages of no pollution and zero emission. − Among the semiconductor photocatalysts, TiO 2 is the most widely used catalyst due to its merits such as low cost, nontoxicity, and strong stability under illumination. − However, its application is largely limited on account of the fact that the photogenerated carriers in titanium dioxide are very prone to recombination.…”

Red Emissive Upconversion Carbon Quantum Dots Modifying TiO2 for Enhanced Photocatalytic Performance

“…47,48 It is known that the small size of QDs can bring more active sites for photocatalysts. 49,50 We then conducted BET analysis of pure P25 and R-CQD/P25−2.5 photocatalysts. The results show that the specific surface area of R-CQD/P25−2.5 is 169 m 2 /g, which is over three times that of pure P25 at 51 m 2 /g.…”

CdS QDs grown on ellipsoidal BiVO4 for efficient photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline

“…19,20 Constructing heterojunctions as an effective strategy can highly reduce the recombination efficiency of charge carriers. 21,22 For example, Xu 23 et al reported a ternary Fe 3 O 4 /BiVO 4 /CdS composite with a Z-scheme heterojunction, effectively improving the charge and hole transfer rate, and thus exhibiting excellent photocatalytic degradation performance of TC. Chen 24 et al synthesized a new heterogeneous structured light catalyst AgI/BiVO 4 by an in situ method.…”
