Carbon quantum dots anchored on 1,2,3,5-tetrakis(carbazole-9-yl)-4,6-dicyanobenzene for efficient selective photo splitting of biomass-derived sugars into lactic acid

Abstract

The application of photocatalysis in biomass reforming meets the needs of contemporary society for green and sustainable development, and its comprehensive utilization is appealing but challenging. Here, a novel metal-free...

Photo-splitting xylose and xylan to xylonic acid and carbon monoxide

“…1 For fuels, hydrogen (H 2 ) and CO can be produced via the selective conversion of biomass-derived feedstocks. [2][3][4][5][6] Moreover, photocatalytic biomass conversion to generate high valued chemicals has also been gripped in recent years. However, most studies for the synchronous production of chemicals and H 2 from the biomass aqueous solution were reported, in which H 2 generated from water splitting and biomass served as a sacrificial agent.…”

Anchoring RuS2 on a multi-shelled hollow cube of CaTiO3 for ultrahigh hydrogen evolution with the assistance of a photocatalytic biorefinery

“…Typically, a larger specific surface area may provide more photocatalytically active sites, thus improving the photocatalytic activity. 34,35 In addition, the pore distribution curves show that the pore sizes of CaTiO 3 , RuS 2 and RuS 2 @CaTiO 3 -10 were mainly concentrated at 5 nm (Fig. 1L).…”
