Photo-thermo
catalytic hydrogen production represents one of the
most promising routes for channeling solar energy but typically suffers
from high reaction temperatures. In this work, we develop photo-thermo
catalytic hydrogen production at low temperatures by cost-effective,
nonplasmonic, and metal-free nitrogen-doped carbon materials (CNO1–x
). We demonstrate that due to the
photothermal conversion of CNO1–x
, carrier generation is improved and electron migration is enhanced
to suppress the recombination of electron–hole pairs, both
of which promote hydrogen production by photocatalysis, while generated
hydrogen radicals facilitate the regeneration of active sites for
hydrogen production by thermocatalysis. Such synergy greatly promotes
photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen production at low temperatures. These
results demonstrate the great promise of photo-thermo catalytic hydrogen
production over carbon materials at low temperatures.
In article number 2108300, Hang Zhao, Xianglong Han, Qianming Chen, and co-workers introduce a high-strength and injectable supramolecular hydrogel, which was constructed by the selfassembly of a monomeric nucleoside molecular gelator (2-amino-2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine, 2-FA). Notably, it also exhibits excellent biocompatibility, fast biodegradation, antibacterial properties, and osteoclast inhibition, making it a potential candidate biomaterial for tooth-extraction wound healing and tissue engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
