TL;DR: Bi(2)S(3) nanocrystals/BiOCl hybrid architectures with tunable band gaps were synthesized by a controlled anion exchange approach and they displayed highly efficient visible light photoactivities, which is associated with suitable energetics and structural topotactic relationship that can benefit the interfacial charge transfer.

TL;DR: In this article, a visible-light responsive photocatalyst BiVO4 was synthesized and its photocatalytic reduction of CO2 in water was examined, and the selective formation of ethanol under the condition of high intensity visible light irradiation, and suggests that intense irradiation generates a large number of C1 intermediate species anchored on the surface of BiVO, which dimerize to form ethanol.

TL;DR: In this article, the title compound is hydrothermally prepared from aqueous solutions of stoichiometric amounts of stochastic amounts of Cu(NO3)2 and Na2HPO4 (pH 7, autoclave, 120 °C, 6 h).

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed 2D Janus PtSSe with compelling photocatalytic properties, which were investigated by means of first-principles calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, the nitrogen concentration effects on the formation energies and electronic band structures of N-doped TiO2 anatase have been investigated on the basis of density functional theory (DFT) calculations.
