Development of dual-functional catalysis for hydrazine oxidation by an organic p–n bilayer through in situ formation of a silver co-catalyst

Abstract

An organic p–n bilayer induced the catalysis for hydrazine oxidation both under irradiation and in the dark particularly when Ag particles were employed as co-catalyst.

Metal–organic framework-derived semiconductors for photocatalytic hydrogen production

“…91 This causes the HER to proceed in an uphill reaction pathway with a Δ G ° > 0, while the PDR, on the other hand, proceeds downhill with Δ G ° < 0. 92 Driving a DFP system can pose certain challenges due to (i) the band alignments between the CB and VB of the MOF SC. This means that to have an efficient DFP, one must carefully consider the position of the CB and VB during the engineering of the MOF SC, more favorably, a type II heterojunction will be much suited for this purpose.…”
