The energy crisis has already seriously affected the daily lives of people around the world. As a result, designing efficient catalysts for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is a promising strategy to energy supply. Co-catalyst modification can significantly enhance the photocatalytic activity of single semiconductors, overcoming limitations posed by their narrow visible light absorption range and high electron-hole recombination rate. MXene-based composites demonstrate immense potential as co-c

Cooperative coupling of alkene epoxidation with in situ H2O2 photosynthesis is a prospective but challenging strategy for maximizing energy utilization and fabricating value-added chemicals. Herein, a covalent assembly of bipyridine-linked covalent organic framework onto VNbC solid-solution MXene heterostructures (COF-TpBpy@VNbC, TBNV-x) has been constructed, exhibiting high catalytic activity for selective styrene epoxidation (as a model reaction) with in situ photogenerated H2O2.

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is one of the most environmentally friendly and versatile chemical oxidizing agents, with only O2 and H2O as reaction products. It is widely used in environmental protection, industrial production, and medical fields. At present, most of the industrial production of H2O2 adopts anthraquinone oxidation, but there are shortcomings such as pollution of the environment and large energy consumption. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a class of porous crystalline material

The advancement of exceptionally effective catalysts that are photostable is significantly important for the sustainable conversion of solar energy into hydrogen. Combining the strengths of NaNbO3 and CdSe in a fabricated heterojunction has been pursued in photocatalysis to enhance the performance while addressing CdSe’s stability. In this study, nanoparticle-CdSe was deposited on NaNbO3 nanorods via hydrothermal method, and the optimal composite ratio of CdSe/ NaNbO3 heterojunction achieved a p

Against the backdrop of energy scarcities and ecological concerns, the process of photocatalytic hydrogen evolution emerges as a critical method for transforming solar energy into chemical energy. Central to this technology is the crafting of photocatalysts that are not only efficient and durable but also economically viable. The key to creating photocatalysts that boast superior hydrogen production capabilities lies in enhancing the separation and transfer of photo-generated electrons and holes

发布于 2024-07-04

As a typical perovskite material, NaTaO3 has been regarded as a potential catalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution (PHE) process, due to its excellent photoelectric property and superior chemical stability. However, the photocatalytic activity of pure NaTaO3 was largely restricted by its poor visible-light absorption ability and rapid recombination of photogenerated charge carriers. Therefore, a covalently bonded TpBpy covalent organic framework (COF)/NaTaO3 (TpBpy/NaTaO3) heterostructure
