“…12–14 For the Bi-MOF, signals at 1620, 1360 and 560 cm −1 corresponded to CO, C–O, and Bi–O stretching vibrations, respectively. 15,16 These findings preliminarily confirmed the successful fabrication of the CuPc/Bi-MOF composite. Raman spectroscopy further elucidated the structural characteristics of CuPc and the Bi-MOF, with CuPc's characteristic peaks at 1340, 1450 and 1530 cm −1 due to vibrations associated with the central Cu ion and C–N–C bridge bond displacement.…”

The rational design of a photocatalyst and its microenvironmental modulation is crucial in the heterogeneous photocatalysis process, yet relevant research on photocatalytic biodiesel synthesis is not explored. Herein, based on the prediction of density functional theory (DFT) calculations, highly efficient ternary biocompatible montmorillonite (Mt) nanocomposites of S‐scheme heterojunction photocatalysts (g‐C3N4‐TiO2@Mt, CTM) are successfully rationally designed. By modulating the microenvironment in photocatalytic biodiesel production, CTM‐2 demonstrates exceptional catalytic performance and stability, achieving a record‐breaking biodiesel yield of 98.5%. Through ex/in situ X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X‐ray absorption near‐edge spectroscopy (XANES), and theoretical calculations, the formation of S‐scheme heterojunction is revealed, which can generate an interface electric field (IEF) that provides an intrinsic driving force for carrier migration and enhances surface positivity. This boosts the enrichment effect of electronegative oleic acid (OA) carboxyl molecules, thus greatly enriching the substrate concentration and improving the reaction microenvironment. Moreover, in situ fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT‐IR)/Raman together with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) further confirm the formation of key intermediates CH3O• and ester carbonyl (C═O), and DFT calculations provide a key reference for the photocatalytic reaction pathway, of which CTM‐2 is determined to be capable of significantly reducing the energy barrier of rate‐determining step.

The Haber–Bosch process is a cornerstone in the field of ammonia production and represents a decisive advance in industrial chemistry. This method, developed in the early 20th century, revolutionizes agriculture and enables the mass production of fertilizers. As the world strives for sustainable energy and environmental protection, alternative methods such as the photo/photoelectrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) are gaining momentum. By using sunlight, electricity, or a combination of both, these approaches promise sustainable ammonia production with renewable energy sources and innovative materials. Researchers are trying to understand the underlying principles, mechanisms, and advances of these methods to overcome the challenges and optimize their effectiveness. This research is a step toward sustainable energy and agriculture, and offers a greener and more efficient way forward. This review looks at advances in sustainable ammonia production, particularly through photo‐ and photoelectrocatalytic NRRs. It examines the hurdles in implementing these methods and provides an overview of the fundamentals of nitrogen fixation and a comparison of current mechanisms. In addition, thermodynamic, theoretical, and computational studies of these processes are summarized. Various photocatalysts and photoelectrocatalysts used for ammonia production are also presented.
