However, their practical application is hindered by poor stability in aqueous media and reduced efficiency in high-water environments, where Cs₂AgBiBr₆ undergoes self-passivation by forming BiOBr, significantly decreasing its photocatalytic activity when water content exceeds 50 vol%. To overcome these limitations, we in situ coupled Cs₂AgBiBr₆ nanoplatelets (NPLs) with g-C₃N₄, forming a stable Cs₂AgBiBr₆ NPLs@g-C₃N₄@AgBr ternary composite in water (100 vol%). This nanocomposite demonstrated remarkable stability in water through the formation of AgBr rather than BioBr, as confirmed by various spectroscopic and diffraction techniques. The optimized 1:2 wt% ratio of Cs₂AgBiBr₆ to g-C₃N₄ leads to the highest degradation rate of Rhodamine B (RhB) of 0.082 min ^-1 which was 14 times greater than Cs₂AgBiBr₆ NPLs, g-C₃N₄, or AgBr alone, surpassing all previously reported Cs₂AgBiBr₆-based nanocomposites in both efficiency and stability. Furthermore, the scavenging action of RhB led by the heterojunction photocatalyst resulted in the elimination of 98.3 % of RhB under light. The superior photocatalytic activity of the Cs₂AgBiBr₆ NPLs@g-C₃N₄@AgBr ternary composite in aqueous media was confirmed through detailed characterization, which revealed that the formation of a dual S-scheme mechanism significantly enhances interfacial charge separation and transfer, resulting in elevated photocurrent, pronounced photoluminescence quenching, and minimized charge transfer resistance. In addition, this ternary composite exhibited robust environmental stability, preserving its crystallinity and morphology after 6 months of air exposure, while maintaining consistent photocatalytic performance across 4 successive cycles in aqueous conditions. Thus, the present results introduce a novel strategy for stabilizing halide perovskites in high water content, expanding their potential for photocatalytic applications in environmental remediation and sustainable energy solutions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"155 ","pages":"Pages 407-419"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146147086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Synergistic combinations of 2DNMs with other nanomaterials, including 0D, 1D, and 3D structures, significantly improve gas transport and mechanical strength. Additionally, orientation enhancement techniques, such as applying magnetic or electric fields during fabrication, align 2DNMs within the matrix to optimize gas separation pathways.
