Simultaneous manipulation of scalable absorbance and the electronic bridge for efficient CO₂ photoreduction

Abstract

Highly active, low-cost, and stable photocatalysts are the key point for the development of photocatalysis technology, which is one of the most promising advanced approaches to a greener future. As...

Plasmonic Au nanoparticles enhance the photogenerated electron efficiency for carbon dioxide photoreduction

“…38,39 The separation efficiency of the photogenerated carriers in the semiconductor photocatalyst can be predicted by the intensity of the photoluminescence spectra (PL). 40,41 From Fig. 4b, it can be seen that BaTiO 3 has a stronger PL intensity, indicating that BaTiO 3 has an obvious photogenerated carrier complexation phenomenon.…”

Highly Efficient and Exceptionally Durable Photooxidation Properties on Co3O4/g-C3N4 Surfaces

“…However, as the core of photocatalysis technology, semiconductor photocatalysts are usually limited to green, stable materials that meet the needs of industrial use [ 6 ]. To date, several types of semiconductors, such as oxides (TiO 2 [ 7 ], ZnO [ 8 ]), nitrides (Ta 3 N 5 [ 9 ], C 3 N 4 [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]), and sulfides (MoS 2 [ 15 , 16 ], CdS [ 17 , 18 ]) have been developed. In general, as a representative semiconductor material in p-type semiconductors, Co 3 O 4 is highly sought after by researchers because of its excellent catalytic activity and stability in the field of photocatalysis and its high economic benefits [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
