Photocatalytic integrated production of hydrogen and imines from aromatic amines via Ni-mesoporous carbon nitride: An acceptorless dehydrogenative pathway

Biomass Photoreforming for Hydrogen and Value‐Added Chemicals Co‐Production on Hierarchically Porous Photocatalysts

“…[67] It is undeniable that the dehydrogenative approach to produce H 2 from biomass or biomass derivates indeed holds more promising perspectives. [108][109][110] Apparently, non-selective biomass photoreforming for H 2 production has much room for improvement if the added biomass could also be selectively converted into value-added chemicals rather than CO 2 . In this aspect, selective photoreforming by simultaneously producing H 2 and value-added chemicals holds more promising perspective by fine regulating the oxidation ability of photocatalyst.…”

A critical review on emerging photocatalysts for syngas generation via CO2 reduction under aqueous media: a sustainable paradigm

“…Thus, these two processes such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) [95][96][97] and CO 2 reduction reaction 49,98 may always compete with each other. The formal electrochemical potentials of the reactions associated with the photoreduction of CO 2 and H 2 O redox reactions are summarized in Table 1 and also shown in Fig.…”

An insight into the photo-generation of H2 and a carbon fuel additive from biomass-derived ethanol: boosting the bio-chemical economy

“…16 Of late, the PD pathway has gained tremendous laurels, manifesting the synergistic utilization of energetic electrons and holes to fabricate cooperative photo–redox reaction systems for co-production of solar H 2 fuel with selective oxidative organic synthesis, replacing sacrificial reagent consumption, thereby featuring improved photocatalytic efficiency, chemical economy, and sustainability. 17–19…”

“…16 Of late, the PD pathway has gained tremendous laurels, manifesting the synergistic utilization of energetic electrons and holes to fabricate cooperative photo-redox reaction systems for co-production of solar H 2 fuel with selective oxidative organic synthesis, replacing sacricial reagent consumption, thereby featuring improved photocatalytic efficiency, chemical economy, and sustainability. [17][18][19] For instance, various photocatalytic systems, including Pt/ TiO 2 , 20 Pd/TiO 2 , 21 Au/TiO 2 , 16 CdS/Ni-MoS 2 , 22 cobalt(II) diphenylphosphinate/TiO 2 , 12 and Pd/CdS, 23 As a consequence, mostly the above-mentioned reports possess some limitations, such as the use of external acids, UV light irradiation, and photocorrosion of sulfur-based photocatalysts under prolonged light exposure. Therefore, DEE production without an external acid fraction over a highly photostable photocatalyst under solar light irradiation could offer sustainable and appreciable methodology for the valorization of biomass-based ethanol.…”
