TL;DR: In this article, a review concisely compiles the recent progress in the fabrication, modification, and major applications of the direct Z-scheme photocatalysts; the latter include water splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, degradation of pollutants, and biohazard disinfection.

TL;DR: The surface chemistry and the surface structure at the atomic level are key factors in tuning the adsorption selectivity and, consequently, photocatalytic selectivity of HTS toward azo dyes.

TL;DR: This work provides a novel strategy to design hierarchical g-C3 N4 nanostructures, which can be used as promising photocatalyst for solar energy conversion.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the surface modification of TiO2 for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, including impurity doping, metal deposition, alkali modification, heterojunction construction and carbon-based material loading, is presented.

TL;DR: In this work, the band structure, density of states, and effective mass of photogenerated charge carriers for anatase, rutile and brookite TiO2 are investigated by the first-principle density functional theory calculation and it is indicated that anatase appears to be an indirect band gap semiconductor, while rutiles and Brookite belong to the direct band gap chip category.
