“MoFe cofactor” inspired iron mesh-based MIL-88A(Fe/Mo) for bionic photocatalytic nitrogen fixation

Recent advances in tunable metal–support interactions for enhancing the photocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction

“…62,63 Therefore, it is essential to summarize the recent advances in different supports for the PNRR. So far, the catalysts with MSIs for PNRR systems are mainly based on the supports of metal oxides, [75][76][77][78][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100] bismuth oxyhalides, [102][103][104][105][106][107][108][109][110][111] metal sulfides, [113][114][115]117 metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [123][124][125][126][127][128] carbon nitrides [138][139][140][141][142]…”

So far, the catalysts with MSIs for PNRR systems are mainly based on the supports of metal oxides, 75–78,82–89,91–100 bismuth oxyhalides, 102–111 metal sulfides, 113–115,117 metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), 123–128 carbon nitrides 138–153 and so on.…”

“…125 Interestingly, on Mo-doped MIL-88A/Fe, Mo dopants not only leads to a long-range ordering distortion of the catalyst lattice to form a ''MoFe cofactor'', resulting in catalyst electronic structure modification, but also induces a bifunctional effect of MSI. 126 ''MoFe cofactor'' promotes photogenerated carrier transport and separation via a dual electron transport pathway. Among them, the Mo 6+ /Mo 4+ redox pair acted as a carrier of photogenerated electrons, and Mo 6+ is reduced to Mo 4+ by capturing electrons.…”

“FeV-cofactor”-inspired bionic Fe-doped BiVO4photocatalyst decorated with few-layer 2D black phosphorus for efficient nitrogen reduction

“…10 Consequently, FeMo-based bionic semiconductor photocatalysts for nitrogen reduction have attracted significant attention. Studies on FeMo-based bionic nitrogen-fixing photocatalysts such as MIL-88A (Fe/Mo) 11 and Fe-doped Bi 2 MoO 6 12 have been conducted. Our previous research also suggested that constructing a bionic FeMo-cofactor effectively enhances the nitrogen reduction activity.…”

Enhancing reductive C–N coupling of nitrocompounds through interfacial engineering of MoO2 in thin carbon layers

“…The presence of C-Mo bonds suggests the incorporation of metal Mo, which consequently generates more active centers. 14,15 In Fig. 2e, the peaks observed in N 1s can be attributed to Mo-N, pyridine nitrogen, pyrrole nitrogen, and graphitic nitrogen from right to left, respectively.…”
