Photocatalytic syngas production is an attractive option to efficiently generate a feedstock for the Fischer-Tropsch processes that can produce liquid fuels and other chemicals. Onepot photocatalytic production of syngas (H 2 + CO) with specific and controllable ratios of H 2 /CO has proven to be a significant challenge to date. In this work, single Co 2 + sites loaded onto carbon nitride (Co@C 3 N 4 ) is combined with black phosphorus (BP) to form a hybrid material, which is capable of simultaneous photocatalytic evolution of H 2 and CO. H 2 /CO syngas ratios can be controlled in the range from 0.30 to 5.16 by changing the % weight of BP in this system or by the addition of CoCl 2 in the reaction solution. Maximum total gas evolution of 70 μmol g À 1 h À 1 was achieved with 20 wt % BP (BP 20% /Co@C 3 N 4 ) at a H 2 /CO ratio of 2.
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.
