A biomimetic all-inorganic photocatalyst for the artificial photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide

Abstract

The artificial photosynthesis of H2O2 from water and O2 presents a sustainable route for the production. Remarkable progress in the rate of reaction has recently been achieved mainly by using...

“…In 2016, the photosynthesis of H 2 O 2 from pure water and O 2 under illumination of visible light has been demonstrated to be caused by all-inorganic photocatalysts with Au/BiVO 4 and carbonate-surface-modified Au/TiO 2 . The studies on the H 2 O 2 photosynthesis by MO-based visible-light responsive photocatalysts reported so far are summarized in Table . ,,− Here we focus on a biomimetic all-inorganic nanohybrid photocatalyst consisting of a Au NP and SnO 2 clusters with the surface modified by SbCl 3 (Au@SnO 2 –Sb­(III)) …”
