Capture-Backdonation-Recapture Mechanism for Promoting N2 Reduction by Heteronuclear Metal-Free Double-Atom Catalysts

Yibo Wu et al.

Summary: In this study, a new capture-backdonation-recapture mechanism is proposed to solve the issues in the development of heteronuclear metal-free double-atom catalysts. Based on this mechanism, the material structure, adsorption energy, catalytic activity, and selectivity are systematically investigated to evaluate the performance of 36 catalysts. B-Si@BP1 and B-Si@BP3 are selected as promising catalysts with good catalytic performance and low limiting potentials. The results also verify the validity of the capture-backdonation-recapture mechanism. This work expands the ideas and lays the theoretical foundation for future development of heteronuclear metal-free double-atom catalysts.

Type-II CdS/PtSSe heterostructures used as highly efficient water-splitting photocatalysts

Guangzhao Wang et al.

Summary: The design of two-dimensional heterostructures is an effective way to modify the properties of 2D materials. In this study, CdS/PtSSe heterostructures were investigated for their photocatalytic activity using first-principles calculations. The results showed that the small lattice mismatches and negative interface formation energies made the CdS/PtSSe heterostructures feasible, with small bandgaps allowing them to efficiently absorb visible light. The stacking configurations had little effect on the electronic structures, but the contact sides could switch between type-I and type-II heterostructures. The type-II CdS/PtSSe heterostructures promoted the separation of photogenerated carriers, while the band edges fulfilled the thermodynamic requirements for photocatalytic water-splitting, achieving solar-to-hydrogen efficiencies of up to 37.5%.
