Efficient photocatalytic H2O2 production from oxygen and pure water over graphitic carbon nitride decorated by oxidative red phosphorus

Jingzhen Zhang et al.

Summary: Efficient photocatalytic production of H2O2 in pure water was achieved by decorating graphitic carbon nitride with oxidative red phosphorus, leading to significant enhancement of H2O2 generation compared to pristine GCN. The strategy of utilizing red phosphorus for promoting charge separation while suppressing H2O2 decomposition opens up a new pathway for designing highly active metal-free photocatalysts for solar-to-H2O2 conversion in pure water.

Effect of S vacancy in Cu3SnS4 on high selectivity and activity of photocatalytic CO2 reduction

Junyan Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, Cu3SnS4 with S vacancy and different ratios of Cu(I/II) and Sn(II/IV) was designed for photocatalytic CO2 reduction with high selectivity and activity. The conduction band (CB) position dominated by the Sn (II) 5p orbital of Cu3SnS4 could be regulated via controlling the content of Sn(II). The presence of Cu(I) and Sn(IV) in crystal lattice acted as the adsorption sites of CO2 and H2O, promoting further protonation for CH4 generation. The introduction of S vacancy led to the appearance of Cu(I) and Sn(II), inhibiting electron-hole recombination and improving reactivity and selectivity of CH4 production.
