Solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of more than 9% in photocatalytic water splitting

Peng Zhou et al.

Summary: Production of hydrogen fuel from sunlight and water is a promising pathway for carbon neutrality. A strategy using pure water, concentrated solar light, and an indium gallium nitride photocatalyst has achieved a solar-to-hydrogen efficiency of 9.2%. The strategy promotes forward hydrogen-oxygen evolution and inhibits reverse hydrogen-oxygen recombination by operating at an optimal reaction temperature, which can be achieved by harvesting infrared light in sunlight.

Activation of CO2 by Direct Cleavage Triggered by Photoelectrons on Rutile TiO2(110)

Changming Zhao et al.

Summary: The activation of CO2 is a crucial step in its photoreduction to valuable chemicals. Previous studies suggested two pathways, either CO2 accepting a photoelectron to form CO2•- radical or accepting two photoelectrons and a proton to form HCOO- anion on TiO2(110) surface. However, we reveal a new mechanism in which CO2 is directly cleaved to CO and adsorbed O2- anion triggered by two photoelectrons. This new mechanism is more favorable than the previously proposed pathways. Moreover, the deficiency of photoelectrons on the catalyst surface may explain the low efficiency of CO2 photoreduction.

Anchoring CuO nanospindles on g-C3N4 nanosheets for photocatalytic pollutant degradation and CO2 reduction

Minghui Li et al.

Summary: This work successfully prepared CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites and found that the optimum 15%CuO/g-C3N4 sample exhibited higher efficiency in the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B and CO2 reduction compared to pure g-C3N4. The morphology of CuO and the composition of CuO/g-C3N4 photocatalysts were characterized, revealing that the excellent performance of CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposites is mainly attributed to their novel morphology, which affects light absorption, dynamics of charge carriers, and regulated band structure. The combination method of CuO nanospindles with g-C3N4 nanosheets by simple and green preparation provides a new pathway for the synthesis of CuO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions and their application in photocatalysis for environmental and energy purposes.
