Directional Charge Transfer Channels in a Monolithically Integrated Electrode for Photoassisted Overall Water Splitting

Bo Li et al.

Summary: In this study, directional charge transfer channels were constructed using carbon dots/carbon nitride (CCN) nanotubes and FeOOH/FeCo layered double hydroxide (FFC) nanosheets, which significantly improved the photo-assisted overall water splitting performance. Experimental investigations and DFT calculations demonstrated that the interfacial C-O-Fe bonds between CCN and FFC served as charge transfer channels, facilitating the migration of photoexcited carriers between their surfaces. The in situ oxidized Fe/Co species triggered lattice oxygen activation, leading to the construction of the Fe-Co dual-site as the catalytic center and effectively lowering the energy barrier for water oxidation. As a result, the CCN@FFC electrode exhibited multiple functionalities in photoelectrocatalysis, achieving low overpotentials for photo-assisted hydrogen evolution, oxygen evolution, and overall water splitting.

Shape-Dependent Performance of Cu/Cu2O for Photocatalytic Reduction of CO2

Yuke Zheng et al.

Summary: The photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into solar fuels or chemicals is a sustainable solution to address global warming and the energy crisis. This study investigates the effects of morphological control on a Cu/Cu2O-based photocatalyst for CO2 reduction. The results show that the spherical Cu/Cu2O photocatalyst has higher activity compared to the octahedral one, which can be attributed to the multifaceted structure favoring charge separation and the presence of unfavorable (111) facets in the octahedral Cu/Cu2O.

Biomimetic donor-acceptor motifs in carbon nitrides: Enhancing red-light photocatalytic selective oxidation by rational surface engineering

Chong Wang et al.

Summary: Selective oxidation reactions play a key role in converting petrochemical feedstock into commodity chemicals and pharmaceuticals, but efficiency and selectivity are often limited. A donor-acceptor functional carbon nitride photocatalyst (ECN) was developed through surface engineering photochemical modification, showing significant enhancement in the photocatalytic aerobic oxidation of alcohols under 620 nm red-light irradiation.

High-Throughput One-Photon Excitation Pathway in 0D/3D Heterojunctions for Visible-Light Driven Hydrogen Evolution

Bo Li et al.

Summary: This study presents a high-throughput one-photon excitation pathway by constructing carbon dots/porous carbon nitride nanovesicles heterostructures for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution, achieving significantly improved performance. The enhanced performance is primarily attributed to the high-throughput and one-photon excitation pathway, leading to effective spatial separation of electrons and holes.

Photocatalytic solar hydrogen production from water on a 100-m2 scale

Hiroshi Nishiyama et al.

Summary: Hydrogen, as an energy carrier, can be obtained through photocatalysis and electrolysis, making it a carbon-neutral energy source. While photocatalytic water splitting efficiency is low, large-scale safe production and collection of hydrogen is feasible. The essential next steps for economic viability and practical use are reactor and process optimization to reduce costs and improve efficiency and stability.
