Fabrication of site activated and synergistic double vacancy ZnIn₂S₄ for highly efficient bifunctional photocatalysis: nitrogen reduction and oxidative degradation

Abstract

In this paper, a new method based on the synergistic effect of metal and non-metal dual vacancies onto a single catalyst to realize high-efficiency bifunctional photocatalysis of oxidation and reduction...

Experimental and Theoretical Research on Photocatalytic Nitrogen Reduction Using MoS2 Nanosheets with Polysulfide Vacancies

“…Figure h and i indicates that under Ar atmosphere, the catalyst has almost no yield of ammonia, indicating that the nitrogen source in NH 4 + mainly comes from N 2 . Only ammonia is generated in the H 2 O solution, and there is almost no ammonia production in DMF and CH 3 CN solutions, indicating that the hydrogen in NH 4 + mainly comes from H 2 O. , …”

Experimental and theoretical investigation on facet-dependent MoO2/BiOBr Z-scheme heterojunction photocatalytic nitrogen reduction: modulation of bulk charge separation efficiency by built-in electric field intensity

“…The common reason for limiting the NRR is that the potential energy determination step (PDS) is too high, which prevents the reaction from proceeding normally. According to literature reports and our previous research, 56–58 the first step hydrogenation reaction (*N 2 + H + + e − = *NNH) and the last step hydrogenation reaction (*NH 2 + H + + e − = NH 3 ) of the NRR are generally the PDS of the entire reaction. 59,60 The free energies of BiOBr's end and lateral adsorption of N 2 are −0.249 eV and −0.335 eV, respectively, with a small difference.…”
