Abstract: The development of high-efficient photocatalysts plays an important role in the sustainable utilization of solar energy. Hollow nanostructured photocatalysts are vital for solar light utilization and charge carrier separation in photocatalytic processes. Therefore, the construction of hollow semiconductor photocatalysts is a promising strategy for preparing novel high-efficient photocatalysts. This paper reviews common hollow semiconductor nanomaterials, such as oxides, sulfides, nitrides, C3N4, MOFs, and their composite photocatalysts. The characteristics of hollow-structure photocatalysts, the application of solar energy conversion, and their understanding of the photocatalytic mechanism are also reviewed. In addition, future challenges will be focused on designing and majorizing broadband response hollow-structure photocatalysts to further enhance solar energy conversion. Hollow semiconductor photocatalysts will have potential applications in the natural environment, and these synthesized strategies can also provide new possibilities for synthesizing other high-performance semiconductor photocatalysts.

Abstract: Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a kind of hazardous pollutants in the environment which threaten the health of humans and animals at very low concentrations. EDCs and corresponding processing methods have been the hottest topics of scientific research in recent years. In this article, the classification, risks, occurrence, fate, and treatment methods of EDCs were briefly summarized. Among all of the treatment methods, photocatalytic degradation was one of the most ideal methods with bright prospects for BPA removal in the future. We summarized several problems restricting the efficiency of photocatalytic degradation and the latest progress, and proposed some suggestions on the improvement of photocatalytic degradation. Finally, mechanism of BPA's photocatalytic degradation had been summarized on the basis of free radical theory. New progress and opinions were provided in this review and we wish to provide a helpful guidance of EDCs removal for international readers.
