Publikation Boosting light harvesting and charge separation over hollow double-shelled Ag@SrTiO3-TiO2 with Z-scheme heterostructure for highly efficient photocatalytic reduction of nitrate to N2(Elsevier, 01.02.2023) Zhang, Yixuan; Liu, Cong; Zhou, Ye; Wang, Jinnan; Li, Aimin; Corvini, Philippe01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Au@CoS-BiVO4 {010} constructed for visible-light-assisted peroxymonosulfate activation(MDPI, 22.11.2021) Ji, Yekun; Zhou, Ye; Wang, Jinnan; Li, Aimin; Bian, Weilin; Corvini, PhilippeA visible-light-Fenton-like reaction system was constructed for the selective conversion of peroxymonosulfate to sulfate radical. Au@CoS, when doped on monoclinic BiVO4 {010} facets, promoted spatial charge separation due to the different energy band between the m-BiVO4 {010} and {110} facets. The visible-light response of m-BiVO4 was enhanced, which was attributed to the SPR effect of Au. And the photogenerated electrons were transferred from the m-BiVO4 {010} facet to Au via a Schottky junction. Owing to higher work function, CoS was able to capture these photoelectrons with acceleration of the Co(Ⅱ)/Co(Ⅲ) redox, enhancing peroxymonosulfate conversion to sulfate radical (Co2+ + HSO5−→ Co3+ + •SO4− + OH−). On the other hand, holes accumulated on m-BiVO4 {110} facets also contributed to organics oxidation. Thus, more than 95% of RhB was degraded within 40 min, and, even after five cycles, over 80% of RhB could be removed. The radical trapping experiments and EPR confirmed that both the sulfate radical and photogenerated hole were the main species for organics degradation. UV-vis DRS, photoluminescence (PL) and photoelectrochemical analyses also confirmed the enhancement of the visible-light response and charge separation. In a pilot scale experiment (PMS = 3 mM, initial TOC = 151 mg/L, reaction time = 4 h), CoS-Au-BiVO4 loaded on glass fiber showed a high mineralization rate (>60%) of practical wastewater.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Engineering efficient hole transport layer Ferrihydrite-MXene on BiVO4 photoanodes for photoelectrochemical water splitting: Work function and conductivity regulated(Elsevier, 2022) Bai, Weihao; Zhou, Ye; Peng, Gang; Wang, Jinnan; Li, Aimin; Corvini, PhilippeAlthough great interest is focused on development of semiconductor photoanodes for efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, the pressing bottleneck to address the intrinsic charge transport for enhancement of PEC performance still remains to be resolved. Herein, hole transport layer (Fh-MXene) constructed by doping of MXene (Ti3C2) in Ferrihydrite (Fh) is loaded on BiVO4 photoanode. This novel BiVO4@Fh-MXene photoanode achieves high current density of 4.55 mA cm−2 at 1.23 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (vs. RHE), exhibiting excellent photostability. From electrochemical analysis and density functional theory calculations, high PEC performance is ascribed to incorporation of Fh-MXene as hole transport layer, enhancing conductivity and water oxidation reaction. Notably, MXene can improve band alignment of BiVO4/Fh-MXene interface by tuning work function, which strengthens the built-in electric field for more efficient hole extraction. This work provides a simple method to design photoanodes with efficient charge transport layers for feasible PEC water splitting application.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation BiOBr/ Bi4O5Br2/PDI constructed for visible-light degradation of endocrine disrupting chemicals. Synergistic effects of bi-heterojunction and oxygen evolution(Elsevier, 01.04.2022) Wang, Haoyi; Zhou, Ye; Wang, Jinnan; Li, Aimin; Corvini, PhilippeTo remove endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), visible-light response photocatalyst BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2/perylene diimide (PDI) with bi-heterojunction was constructed. Under visible-light irradiation, BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2/PDI could degrade 90% Bisphenol A (BPA) within 75 min, while degrade 100% 17α-ethynyl estradiol (EE2) and 17β-estradiol (E2) within 15 min. Radicals quenching experiment and EPR indicated both •O2– and holes were the main substances for EDCs degradation, and the possible degradation pathway of EDCs are proposed based on the LC-MS analysis results. In the composite of BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2/PDI, the matching energy band structure between Bi4O5Br2 and BiOBr facilitated the formation of heterojunction for strengthening the space charge separation. Meanwhile, PDI with strong photosensitivity combined with BiOBr/Bi4O5Br2 not only enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity but also broadened the light-harvesting range. Owning to the unique one-dimensional conjugated structure and internal electric field effect, PDI could also promote the photo-carriers transfer and separation. With the bi-heterojunction effect, photo-generated electrons were transferred to BiOBr conduction band while holes were accumulated on PDI valence band. Simultaneously, holes could oxidize water with the production of oxygen following being reduced to •O2– by photo-generated electrons. Even under oxygen-poor conditions, the production of •O2– can reach 32.7 × 10-5mol•g−1•h−1, resulting in more than 85% BPA degradation within 75 min.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher Zeitschrift
