As a promising technique to potentially address the energy crisis and environmental issues, photocatalysis has been reported widely to exhibit various outstanding behaviors in production of new fuels/chemicals and treatment of contaminants. The photocatalytic performance is extremely dependent on the used photocatalysts, so that the design and preparation of efficient photocatalysts are critically important for significantly improving the photocatalytic activity. Among various strategies, the hybridization of metal with semiconductors has recently been attracting more and more research interest owing to their expended spectral absorption, promoted transferring rate of charge carriers and Plasmon-enhanced effect.

Highly Efficient Photocatalysts and Continuous‐Flow Photocatalytic Reactors for Degradation of Organic Pollutants in Wastewater

One of the most important applications for photocatalysis is engineered water treatment that photodegrades organic pollutants in wastewater at low cost. To overcome the low efficiency of batch degradation methods, continuous‐flow photocatalytic reactors have been proposed and have become the most promising method for mass water treatment. However, most commercial semiconductor photocatalysts are granular nanoparticles with low activity and a narrow active light wavelength band; this creates difficulties for direct use in continuous‐flow photocatalytic reactors. Therefore, a high‐performance photodegradation photocatalyst with proper morphology or structure is key for continuous photocatalytic degradation. Moreover, a well‐designed photocatalytic device is another important component for continuous‐flow photocatalysis and determines the efficiency of photocatalysis in practical water treatment. This review describes the basic design principles and synthesis of photocatalysts with excellent performance and special morphologies suitable for a filtering photocatalysis process. Certain promising continuous photodegradation reactors are also categorized and summarized. Additionally, selected scientific and technical problems that must be urgently solved are suggested.

Recent advances in round-the-clock photocatalytic system: Mechanisms,characterization techniques and applications

Solar energy-driven semiconductor photocatalysis has gathered increasing interest in the field of energy and environmental applications. However, a vital problem that limits its application is that photocatalysis requires a continuous light source to perform redox reaction. The ability of keeping catalytic activity in the dark has been the ultimate goal for the wide application of photocatalysis. More and more efforts have been paid to develop photocatalysts to perform photocatalytic reactions under both light and dark conditions, which is so called “round-the-clock photocatalytic system” (RTCPS). RTCPS with an ability of energy storage can work well under both daytime and nighttime, which widely used in the removal of heavy metal ion, the degradation of organic pollutant, disinfection and hydrogen generation. The important potential of RTCPS necessitate timely reviews of the recent advances to streamline efforts. Thus, this review aimed to summarize the recent advances in RTCPS, including the mechanism, characterization techniques and applications. Moreover, future challenge and research direction on the mechanistic study, material design and potential applications are also discussed.

New Visible-Light-Triggered Photocatalytic Trifluoromethylation Reactions of Carbon–Carbon Multiple Bonds and (Hetero)Aromatic Compounds

Visible-light-photocatalyzed methods employed in synthetic transformations present attractive properties such as environmentally friendly, safety, availability and excellent functional group tolerance. In this regard, research on the visible-light photocatalytic incorporation of the trifluoromethyl CF₃ moiety into organic substrates, in particular, has contributed to a clear evolution of the field of photocatalysis. Although this particular area is constantly evolving and has been reviewed, the last five years have experienced an outburst of seminal and significant photocatalytic trifluoromethylation examples that are leading the way and opening new synthetic avenues. Recent review articles on Ru- and Ir-based photocatalytic trifluoromethylation reactions have borne witness of this evolution. Although this account will show the new Ru- and Ir-based photocatalytic trifluoromethylations, Sections 2 and 3 will also illustrate other photocatalytic systems, such as organic dyes, organic semiconductors and newly-developed all-organic photocatalysts. All the known and reviewed strategies for photocatalytic trifluoromethylation reactions of olefins and (hetero)aromatic compounds will not be discussed but will be summarized in two figures (Figures 4 and 5), and new examples (2015–present) will be presented and discussed.     

Ketones as Molecular Co-catalysts for Boosting Exciton-Based Photocatalytic Molecular Oxygen Activation

Excitonic processes in semiconductors open up the possibility for pursuing photocatalytic organic synthesis. However, the insufficient spin relaxation and robust nonradiative decays in semiconductors place restrictions on both quantum yield and selectivity of these reactions. Herein, by taking polymeric carbon nitride (PCN)/acetone as a prototypical system, we propose that extrinsic aliphatic ketones can serve as molecular co-catalysts for promoting spin-flip transition and suppressing non-radiative energy losses. Spectroscopic investigations indicate that hot excitons in PCN can be transferred to ketones, while triplet excitons in ketones can be transferred to PCN. As such, the PCN/ketone systems exhibit considerable triplet-exciton accumulation and extended visible-light response, leading to excellent performance in exciton-based photocatalysis, such as singlet oxygen generation. This work provides a fundamental understanding of energy harvesting in semiconductor/molecule systems, and paves the way for optimizing exciton-based photocatalysis via molecular co-catalyst design.
