Tuning the selectivity of benzylamine photo-oxidation with different rhodium modes anchored on BiOIO₃

Abstract

We fabricated two different Rh modes, Rh single atom and nanoparticles, and anchored on the BiOIO3 surface to rationally tune the product selectivity of the benzylamine photo-oxidation reaction.

Accurate fabrication and orientation of electron acceptor and donor active sites for enhancing photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…Single-atom photocatalysts (SAPCs) have emerged as effective platforms for various photochemical reactions owing to their superiority in functionalizing atoms. 24–35 Particularly, diversified coordination structures are in favor of modulating the electronic structure of SAPCs and provide a vital opportunity for designing the charge carrier transfer path and constructing active sites for the photocatalytic reaction. 36–41 However, the metal single atoms in SAPCs always act as electron acceptor active sites in the photoreduction reaction, which is adverse to accomplishing the OWS reaction.…”
