TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review discusses the pseudo kinetics and mechanisms of the photodegradation reactions, as well as the operational factors that govern the adsorption of dye molecules, including the initial dye concentration, pH of the solution, temperature of the reaction medium, and light intensity.

TL;DR: In this article, an all-day active photocatalyst model was demonstrated by employing Au@Cu 7 S 4 yolk@shell nanocrystal-decorated TiO 2 nanowires.

TL;DR: The photocurrent action spectra illustrated that the enhanced photoactivity of the Cu( 2+)-doped ZnO nanocrystals was mainly due to the improved visible photon harvesting achieved by Cu(2+) doping, which may facilitate the use of transition metal ion-dopedZnO in other photoconversion applications, such as Zn o based dye-sensitized solar cells and magnetism-assisted photocatalytic systems.

TL;DR: The present study has provided a viable approach to exploit Z-scheme photoanodes in the design of efficient artificial photosynthesis systems for solar energy conversion by suggesting that the interfacial charge transfer across the ZnO/Au/SnO2 interface was significantly improved as a result of the Z- Scheme charge transfer mechanism.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the correlations among plasmonic metal content, SPR-mediated charge transfer and electromagnetic response, and the resultant photoactivity enhancement toward photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting.
