Regulating Charge-Transfer in Conjugated Microporous Polymer for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution
摘要： Band gap engineering in donor-acceptor conjugated microporous polymers is a potential way to increase the solar energy harvesting towards photochemical water splitting. Herein, we report design and synthesis of a series of donor-acceptor CMPs [tetraphenylethylene (TPE) = donor and 9-fluorenone (F) = acceptor], F0.1CMP, F0.5CMP and F2.0CMP which exhibit tunable band gaps and photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from water. The donor-acceptor CMPs exhibit intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) absorption in the visible region (λmax=480 nm) and their band gap is finely tuned from 2.8 eV to 2.1 eV by increasing the 9-fluorenone content. Interestingly, they also show charge transfer emissions (in 540 -580 nm range), assisted by the energy transfer from the other TPE segments (not involved in CT interaction) as evidenced from fluorescence lifetime decay analysis. By increasing the 9-fluorenone content the emission color of the polymer is also tuned from green to red. Photocatalytic activities of the donor-acceptor CMPs (F0.1CMP, F0.5CMP and F2.0CMP) are greatly enhanced compared to the 9-fluorenone free polymer (F0.0CMP) which is essentially due to improved visible light absorption and low band gap of donor-acceptor CMPs. Among all the polymers F0.5CMP with an optimum band gap (2.3 eV) shows highest H2 evolution under visible light irradiation. Moreover, all the polymers show excellent dispersibility in organic solvents and also they are easily processed onto solid substrates.

Preparation of interstitial carbon doped BiOI for enhanced performance in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation and methyl orange degradation
摘要： Carbon-doped BiOI (C-BiOI) photocatalysts were successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method with Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, KI, and glucose as raw materials for the first time. The synthesized samples had excellent photocatalytic activities in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) and the reduction of N2 to NH3. To reveal the origin of the superior photoactivity, the C-BiOI was examined by multi techniques, including N2-adsorption, XRD, SEM, TEM, Raman, XPS, DRS, PL, EIS and transient photocurrent response. The characterization results indicated that the carbon clusters entered the interlayers of BiOI crystal during preparation. The doped carbon interfered the lattice periodicity and generated vacancies in the BiOI structure, resulting in the decreased band gap and increased efficiency in charge separation, both of which could significantly hasten the photocatalytic reaction. Additionally, the introduced carbon affected the morphology of BiOI and increased its specific surface area, which may also benefit the photocatalytic process. The carbon content was crucial to the promotion effect. Under visible light, the optimized carbon-doped BiOI (C-BiOI-2) presented an MO degradation rate of 0.136 min-1, which was 4.44 times higher than that of pure BiOI. However, for the photocatalytic N2 fixation, due to the contribution of surface carbon in N2 adsorption, the C-BiOI sample containing higher carbon content (C-BiOI-3) displayed superior performance than C-BiOI-2. The NH3 generation rate under simulated sunlight reached 311 μmol g?1h?1, which was about 3.7-fold of that of BiOI. This work may shed some insight into the designing and understanding of carbon-doped semiconductor photocatalysts.

[Lecture Notes in Computer Science] Distributed Computing and Internet Technology Volume 11319 (15th International Conference, ICDCIT 2019, Bhubaneswar, India, January 10–13, 2019, Proceedings) || Improved Visible Light Communication Using Code Shift Keying Modulation
摘要： Visible light communication can provide higher bandwidth and bit rates without causing any interference to the Radio Frequency signals. Red-Green-Blue Light-Emitting Diodes are more suitable than other light sources as they have a smaller switching time, greater lifespan and cost-effective. Designing a communication scheme that avoids dimming and flickering, and that maximize the throughput and coverage area is challenging. Modulation schemes such as Amplitude Shift Keying, Frequency Shift Keying, and Phase Shift Keying exist in the literature for communication with controlled dimming and flickering effect. However, these schemes may not be efficient as they bound the bit rates with more Bit Error Rate. In this paper, a spread spectrum technique, Code Shift Keying along with Manchester (CSK-M) coding, is used to improve bit rates, a reduction in Bit Error Rate with an efficient control of fluctuations and dimming effect. The simulation results show that the presented approach outperforms the existing modulation schemes.

Facile green synthesis of Degraded-PVA coated TiO2 nanoparticles with enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light
摘要： Grafting with conjugated structures has been proven to be an effective strategy to enhance the visible-light photocatalytic activity of TiO2, however, the preparation of conjugated structures modified TiO2 nanoparticles usually involves several tedious treatment steps and large amounts of organic solvents. In this research, a facile and green method to synthesize Degraded-PVA coated TiO2 (TiO2@D-PVA) nanoparticles containing conjugated structures was prepared. This method avoided using organic solvents and successfully coated D-PVA onto the surface of TiO2 just via physical mixing, centrifugation, and calcination. In addition, the content of D-PVA in TiO2@D-PVA could be controlled by the concentration of the PVA solution. Under visible light irradiation, the TiO2@D-PVA containing approximately 5 wt% D-PVA demonstrated an optimal photocatalytic activity which is 5.5 times higher than that of commercial P25 TiO2 nanoparticles. The Ti-O-C bonds and the conjugated structures in D-PVA could facilitate the electron transfer between D-PVA and TiO2, thus contributing to the enhanced visible light photocatalytic activity.

UV and visible-light driven photocatalytic removal of caffeine using ZnO modified with different noble metals (Pt, Ag and Au)
摘要： In this work, ZnO photocatalyst was modified with different noble metals (Pt, Ag and Au) through photo-deposition method and then characterized by different techniques (XRD, XRF, BET, UV–vis DRS, FESEM, and XPS). The addition of noble metals produces important changes in the light absorption properties with a significant absorbance in the visible region due to the existence of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) observed at about 450 nm and 550 nm for ZnO modified with Ag and Au, respectively. The morphology of the samples was studied by TEM and the size ranges of the different metals were estimated. Noble metal nanoparticles were in every case heterogeneously deposited on the larger ZnO particles. All the prepared photocatalysts were tested in the photocatalytic removal of caffeine (toxic and persistent emerging compound) under UV and visible light irradiation. It was observed an enhancement of photocatalytic caffeine removal from aqueous solutions under UV light irradiation with the increase of metal content (from 0.5 to 1 wt %) for ZnO modified with Ag and Au (Ag/ZnO and Au/ZnO). In particular, Ag/ZnO and Au/ZnO with higher Ag and Au content (1 wt %) allowed to achieve the almost complete caffeine degradation after only 30 min and a TOC removal higher than 90% after 4 h of UV light irradiation. These two photocatalysts were investigated also under visible light irradiation and it was found that their photocatalytic performances were strongly enhanced in presence of visible light compared to unmodified ZnO. In particular, Ag/ZnO photocatalyst was able to reach the complete caffeine degradation and a TOC removal of about 70% after 4 h of visible light irradiation.

Benthic microbial fuel cell equipped with a photocatalytic Cu2O-coated cathode
摘要： In this study, a photocatalytic benthic microbial fuel cell was developed and the cell performance was tested. A photocathode was fabricated by electrodeposition of Cu2O photocatalysts on carbon felt; with a proper deposition time of 15 min, a photocathode with optimal Cu2O compactness and an average Cu2O particle size of 0.97 μm was fabricated and was then covered with an amorphous carbon thin layer. Photoelectrochemical test results prove the pronounced visible light response of the fabricated photocathode. Results show that the coating of carbon thin layer could protect the Cu2O from self-reduction and also improve the photoelectrochemical performance of Cu2O crystalline grains. The photo-benthic microbial fuel cell (BMFC) produces a maximum power density of 249.0 mW m ? 2 and 186.7 mW m?2 under light irradiation and in the dark, which is 17.8 and 13.3 times higher than the common BMFC using carbon felt cathode in parallel, demonstrating the catalytic and photocatalytic effect of the fabricated photocathode. Polarization and EIS results prove the decrease of internal resistance by using the photocathode. The fabricated photocathode could improve the oxygen reduction rate on the cathode side, thus reduce the internal resistance and enhance the BMFC performance.

Revealing the role of kapok fibre as bio-template for In-situ construction of C-doped g-C3N4@C, N co-doped TiO2 core-shell heterojunction photocatalyst and its photocatalytic hydrogen production performance
摘要： For the first time, C-doped g-C3N4@C, N co-doped TiO2 core-shell heterojunction photocatalyst was successfully prepared by an in-situ one-pot hydrothermal bio-template approach, assisted by calcination treatment at 500?°C. Kapok fibre was used as a bio-templates and in-situ C doping in g-C3N4 and TiO2 during the formation of core-shell heterojunction photocatalyst. Moreover, the used of urea as g-C3N4-precursor also contribute to band-gap narrowing by an in-situ carbon and nitrogen doping in TiO2. Various characterisation techniques were employed to understand the effect TiO2 precursor concentration on the evolution of core-shell nanostructure heterojunction photocatalyst that can affect and boost the catalytic activity. The detailed understanding of the concurrent growth of C-doped g-C3N4 (CCN) and C, N co-doped TiO2 mechanism, as well as the formation of core-shell nanostructures heterojunction formation, are also proposed in this study. Our finding indicated that the bio-template core-shell nanostructure heterojunction photocatalysts showed a dramatic increase in photoinduced electron-hole separation efficiency as demonstrated by the photoelectrochemical and photoluminescence analyses. The enhancement in photogenerated charge carrier separation and narrower band gap resulted in superior photocatalytic activities with the highest rate of hydrogen production was recorded by CCN/T-1.5 sample (625.5 μmol h-1 g-1) in methanol aqueous solution. The well-developed interconnected heterojunction formation with appropriate CCN and TiO2 contents in core-shell nanoarchitectures system is a prime factor for the future design of a highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst.

A novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide: Synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity under visible radiation
摘要： In this work, a novel P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide was successfully prepared by a microwave assisted sol-gel method. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by N2 physisorption, SEM, XRD, XPS, and FTIR, UV–vis DRS, and PL spectroscopies. The iron and phosphorus content in the catalyst samples were quanti?ed by AAS and ICP-OES, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 powders were evaluated in the photocatalytic degradation of sulfamethazine (SMTZ). The Box Behnken design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM) were applied for modeling the e?ect and optimizing of the operational parameters levels on the degradation percentage of SMTZ. The complete degradation and mineralization percentage of 30% of SMTZ solution at pH 9 was achieved within 300 min of reaction, with the optimum P doping amount of 1.2 wt % and 1.25 g/L of catalyst loading. The 1.2 wt % P-doped Fe2O3-TiO2 mixed oxide showed considerably higher photocatalytic activity than Fe2O3-TiO2 or TiO2. This enhanced performance could be attributed to the small crystallite size, narrow band gap, high speci?c surface area and increased number of surface hydroxyls on TiO2 nanoparticles. Additionally, the stability and reusability of this catalyst was demonstrated during three cycles of SMTZ degradation.

Photocatalytic removal of phenanthrene and algae by a novel Ca-Ag3PO4 composite under visible light: Reactivity and coexisting effect
摘要： In this study, the feasibility of a novel Ca-Ag3PO4 composite with visible light irradiation for the phenanthrene (PHE) degradation and algae inactivation in artificial seawater was firstly investigated. The experimental findings revealed that Ag3PO4 phase was sucessfully formed on the Ca-based material, and the presence of Ca-based material could effectively keep Ag3PO4 particles stable. An excellent performance on PHE degradation or algae inactivation was observed from Ca-Ag3PO4 composite under visible light irradiation. The degradation of PHE or inactivation of algae not only could be efficiently achieved in the single mode, but also could be successfully achieved in the coexisting mode. Above 96 % of PHE and algae were simultaneously removed within 12 h in the Ca-Ag3PO4/visible light system. It was further observed that the degradation of PHE and/or inactivation of algae increased with the increase of Ca-Ag3PO4 dosage. HO? was the primary radical responsible for PHE degradation, whereas HO? and Ag+ released from Ca-Ag3PO4 mainly contributed to the algae inactivation. A possible mechanism involving the catalytic removal of PHE and algae by Ca-Ag3PO4 under visible light irradiation was proposed. This study provides helpful guide for the simultaneous removal of various pollutants in real seawater.

摘要： We here report the fabrication of a core-shell WO3@ZnIn2S4 heterostructure by an interfacial seeding growth strategy, which is implemented by direct growth of ZnIn2S4 nanosheets on the surface of WO3 nanorods with forming a strong electronic interaction between two semiconductors that are beneficial for promoting the interfacial charge transfer. Systematic studies demonstrate that the WO3@ZnIn2S4 nanohybrids hold superior performance for photocatalytic hydrogen generation under visible light irradiation with a production rate of 3900 mmol g-1 h-1. This work provides an effective approach to construct the direct Z-scheme photocatalytic systems for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, which would be significant for the design of more direct Z-scheme system for various photocatalytic applications.
