Construction of Frustrated Lewis Pair Sites in CeO2-C/BiVO4 for Photoelectrochemical Nitrate Reduction

Hongye Bai et al.

Summary: This study reported a heterostructure composed of CeO2 and BiVO4, and introduced the concept of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) to understand the role of Lewis acids and Lewis bases in photoelectrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (PEC NIRR). The electron density difference maps showed that FLPs were highly active for the adsorption and activation of NO3-. Additionally, carbon (C) improved carrier transport ability and kinetics, resulting in a NH3 yield of 21.81 mu g h-1 cm-2. The conversion process of NO3- to NH3 was tracked using 15NO3- and 14NO3- isotopic labeling. Therefore, CeO2-C/BiVO4 demonstrated great potential for efficient PEC NIRR and provided a unique mechanism for NO3- adsorption and activation over FLPs.

Z-Schematic Artificial Leaf Structure for Biosolar Oxyfunctionalization of Hydrocarbons

Chung Hyun Lee et al.

Summary: Scientists have developed an artificial leaf called the Z-schematic photosynthesis system, which uses solar energy to catalyze the oxyfunctionalization of hydrocarbons. This system consists of a solar cell and a photocatalytic cell that drive redox reactions using sunlight. The solar cell extracts electrons from water and transfers them to the photocatalytic cell, which produces H2O2. The H2O2 then activates enzymes to catalyze the enantioselective oxyfunctionalization of C-H bonds.

Nitrogen reduction to ammonia at high efficiency and rates based on a phosphonium proton shuttle

Bryan H. R. Suryanto et al.

Summary: Ammonia (NH3) is a globally important commodity for fertilizer production, but its synthesis by the Haber-Bosch process causes substantial emissions of carbon dioxide. Alternative methods being explored include the promising electrochemical lithium-mediated nitrogen reduction reaction, which has required sacrificial sources of protons. In this study, a phosphonium salt is introduced as a proton shuttle to help resolve this limitation, resulting in high NH3 production rates and demonstrated continuous operation for more than 3 days.
