Insights into peroxymonosulfate activation under visible Light: Sc2O3@C3N4 mediated photoexcited electron transfer

Hollow Nanoboxes Cu2‐xS@ZnIn2S4 Core‐Shell S‐Scheme Heterojunction with Broad‐Spectrum Response and Enhanced Photothermal‐Photocatalytic Performance

“…[11] Metal sulfides are key research hotspots among photocatalysts and have been widely exploited in many photocatalytic processes. [12][13][14] ZnIn 2 S 4 is a ternary metal-sulfide semiconductor that has been extensively studied by scientists due to its appropriate band gap (2.34-2.48 eV), excellent redox potential, and chemical stability for the reaction. [15][16][17] However, due to its inefficient photogenerated charge separation and low transferability, poor photoreduction ability, and low activity due to the quick complexation of photogenerated electrons and holes, the single ZnIn 2 S 4 still limits its use in photocatalysis.…”

High‐Surface Area Mesoporous Sc2O3 with Abundant Oxygen Vacancies as New and Advanced Electrocatalyst for Electrochemical Biomass Valorization

“…88–2159). [ 15 ] No other signal of a second phase was observed, indicating the absence of the impurity. Moreover, the diffraction peaks of mesoporous V O ‐Sc 2 O 3 are broader than those of the bulk sample, suggesting a smaller crystallite size.…”

The multiple roles of rare earth elements in the field of photocatalysis

“…Liu's team synthesized composites of ScO and CN for photocatalytic oxidation of organic pollutants by in situ calcination. 99 It was shown that under visible light irradiation, the photogenerated electrons of CN migrated onto ScO through the Sc-C channel, which improved the charge separation and photogenerated electron transfer of the catalyst. Meanwhile, the surface-active sites provided by Sc atoms enhanced the adsorption and activation of PMS, which can further improve the rapid oxidation of organic pollutants and activation of PMS, and increase the catalytic activity of the catalysts.…”
