Due to the increasingly polluted environment and the gradual depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the development of renewable technologies for environmental remediation and energy production is highly desirable. Over the past decades, oxide-based semiconductor photocatalysis has attracted much attention. On various frontiers for efficient photocatalysis, surface-tuning strategies for synthesis and modification of oxides on the nanometer scale have progressed at a fast pace. Hence, it is of significance to review recent advances in the development of surface tuning for oxide-based nanomaterials as activity-enhanced photocatalysts. In this review, special emphases, especially for recent advances in our group, are given to surface tuning of novel nanocrystallites for high thermal stability, hierarchical structure assembly, heterojunctional nanocomposites and high-energy-facet exposure, along with effective testing tools for photogenerated charge properties at the surfaces and/or interfaces. This is of great significance for fields related to energy and environment from scientific and engineering viewpoints.
由于环境日益受到污染，以及化石燃料储备逐渐枯竭，开发用于环境修复和能源生产的可再生技术是非常可取的。在过去几十年中，基于氧化物的半导体光催化受到了广泛关注。在高效光催化的各个前沿领域，纳米尺度上氧化物的合成和修饰的表面调控策略发展迅速。因此，综述氧化物基纳米材料的表面调谐作为活性增强光催化剂的最新进展具有重要意义。在这篇综述中，特别强调了特别是我们小组的最新进展，包括新型纳米晶的表面调谐以提高热稳定性、分级结构组装、异质结纳米复合材料和高能面暴露，以及表面和/或界面处光生载流子性质的有效测试工具。从科学和工程的角度来看，这对于与能源和环境相关的领域具有重要意义。
