Sol–gel synthesis of upconversion perovskite/attapulgite heterostructures for photocatalytic fixation of nitrogen

Photocatalysis and perovskite oxide-based materials: a remedy for a clean and sustainable future

“…The reported materials are SrTiO 3 , KNbO 3 , LaCoO 3, and layered double perovskite Bi 2 WO 6 . 129,327–329 The efficiency of the perovskite material is less due to the selectivity of N 2 and adsorption of N 2 at the surface of the photocatalyst material; however, more research is needed in the field of photocatalytic nitrogen fixation to compete with the available industrial method of nitrogen fixation (Haber cycle). 319,330 Some of the reported perovskite photocatalyst materials for nitrogen fixation are listed in Table 5.…”

Recent advances in photocatalytic nitrogen fixation: from active sites to ammonia quantification methods

“…In addition to the above mentioned Fe, 104 Ru metals as active sites, Mo, 105 Co, 20,106,107 Li, 108 Ag, 109 Ce 110 and Te 84 are also common as active centers for photocatalytic nitrogen xation. For instance, a novel ternary MoS 2 /C-ZnO composite synthesized by Xing and his colleagues through hydrothermal method and photodeposition method.…”

A minireview on catalysts for photocatalytic N2 fixation to synthesize ammonia

“…(1) Heterojunctions/homojunctions with modified light harvesting unit. Bi 2 Te 3 /BiOCl, 74 g-C 3 N 4 /ZrO 2 , 75 MoO 2 /BiOCl 76 perovskite/attapulgite 77 and CdS/LDH (LDH: layered double hydroxide) 78 are typical heterojunctions that have been reported active in PNF. Here CdS/LDH is taken as an example for elaboration.…”
