Dual photocatalysis for CO₂ reduction along with the oxidative coupling of benzylamines promoted by Cu/Cu₂O@g-C₃N₄ under visible irradiation

Abstract

The present work described the dual functional photocatalysis promoted by Cu/Cu2O decorated g-C3N4 heterojunction where the electrons at Cu/Cu2O surface provided the reduction of CO2 to methanol selectively; whereas, holes...

Effect of ammonia addition on the dispersion and activity of supported copper species on porous silica–alumina hollow spheres for catalytic decomposition of nitrous oxide

“…24,25 The dispersion and structural properties also influenced various catalytic activity. [41][42][43] In the present study, we investigated the ligand effect of ammonia during the immersion process of the active copper species for the formation of highly dispersed active species to improve the catalytic activity for the decomposition of nitrous oxide.…”

The order of loading affects photocatalytic nitrogen fixation activity of the ternary composites of PdO/Au–TiO2

“…The photocatalytic activity mainly depends on the number and separation efficiency of photogenerated electrons and holes used for the reaction on the surface of the photocatalyst. [25][26][27][28][29][30] Nevertheless, the application of TiO 2 has been long restricted because of the low light utilization and high photogenerated carrier recombination efficiency. Hence, the loading of cocatalysts on its surface is a commonly used enhancement strategy to increase the TiO 2 solar-to-chemical energy conversion efficiency.…”
