Heterogeneous In/Mo cooperative bandgap engineering for promoting visible-light-driven CO₂ photoreduction

Abstract

Improving the low charge separation efficiency, poor light absorption capacity, and insufficient active sites of photocatalysts are the important challenges for CO2 photoreduction. In this study, Mo modified InOOH/In(OH)3 heterojunction...

A review of boron nitride-based photocatalysts for carbon dioxide reduction

“…Limiting potential (U Lim ) is a parameter used for assessing the performance of the CRR on a photocatalyst and can be calculated as follows: 161 U Lim = −DG Maximum /ne (13) in which DG Maximum is the highest amount of the Gibbs free energy variation during the CRR, occurring in the ratedetermining step. Studies have proved that the less negative the values of U Lim are, the lower the amounts of reaction energies will be, implying that the photocatalyst is more suitable for the CRR.…”

“…9–12 Among them, the photocatalytic approach, owing to utilising the infinite and sustainable energy source, the sun, can be more fiscally appropriate under ambient conditions. 13…”

“…[9][10][11][12] Among them, the photocatalytic approach, owing to utilising the innite and sustainable energy source, the sun, can be more scally appropriate under ambient conditions. 13 A typical CO 2 photocatalytic reduction process of a semiconductor is depicted in Fig. 1a.…”

Constructing a built-in electric field by anchoring highly dispersed Zn single atoms on UiO-66-NH2 for efficient CO2 photoreduction

“…Excessive emissions of CO 2 can lead to many intractable environmental issues. [1][2][3][4][5] In this context, in September 2020, our country put forward "peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060". 6 Moreover, the "double carbon" target was incorporated into the general layout of ecological civilization construction, aiming to solve a series of problems caused by the greenhouse effect.…”

Z‐scheme Heterojunction Photocatalyst Based on Lanthanum Single‐Atom Anchored on Black Phosphorus for Regulating Surface Active Sites, therefore Enhancing Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction with ≈100% CO Selectivity

“…For example, a protective film is formed on the surface of BP to prevent oxidation by selecting the appropriate solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to wrap the BP surface. [21][22][23][24][25] Alternatively, BP nanosheets with few layers can be obtained by stripping bulk BP by wet ball milling. Even so, BP nanosheets also have several intrinsic flaws, such as limited surface reactive sites and poor stability, limiting the performance improvement.…”
