| 1 | Hetero-phase MoC-Mo_(2)C nanoparticles for enhanced photocatalytic H_(2)-production activity of TiO_(2)显示文摘Hexagonal molybdenum carbide(Mo_(2)C)as an effective non-noble cocatalyst is intensively researched in the photocatalytic H_(2)-evolution field owing to its Pt-like H^(+)-adsorption ability and good conductivity.However,hexagonal Mo_(2)C-modified photocatalysts possess a limited H_(2)-evolution rate because of the weak H-desorption ability.Tofurther improve the activity,cubic MoC was introduced into Mo_(2)C toform the carbon-modified MoC-Mo_(2)C nanoparticles(MoC-Mo_(2)C@C)by a calcination method.The resultant MoC-Mo_(2)C@C(ca.5 nm)was eventually coupled with Ti0_(2)to acquire high-efficiency Ti0_(2)/MoC-Mo_(2)C@C by electrostatic self-assembly.The highest H_(2)-generation rate of Ti0_(2)/MoC-Mo_(2)C@C reached of 918μmol·h^(-1)·g^(-1)which was 91.8,2.7,and 1.5 times than that of the Ti0_(2),TiO_(2)/MoC@C,and Ti0_(2)/Mo_(2)C@C,respectively.The enhanced rate of Ti0_(2)attributes to the carbon layer as cocatalyst to transmit electrons and the hetero-phase MoC-Mo_(2)C as H_(2)-generation active sites to boost H_(2)-evolution reaction.This research offers a novel insight to design photocatalytic materials for energy applications. | Jinfeng Liu Ping Wang Jiajie Fan Huogen Yu Jiaguo Yu | 2021 | Nano Research2021,14,4: | 6 |
| 2 | Dendritic BiVO4 decorated with MnOx co-catalyst as an efficient hierarchical catalyst for photocatalytic ozonation显示文摘An appropriate co-catalyst can significantly promote the photocatalytic efficacy, but this has been seldom studied in the visible-light photocatalysis combined with ozone, namely photocatalytic ozonation. In this work, a dendritic bismuth vanadium tetraoxide (BiVO4) material composited with highly dispersed MnOv nanoparticles was synthesized, and its catalytic activity is 86.6% higher than bare BiVO4 in a visible light and ozone combined process. Catalytic ozonation experiments, ultraviolet- visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectra and photoluminescence spectra jointly indicate that MnOA plays a triple role in this process. MnOv strengthens the light adsorption and promotes the charge separation on the composite material, and it also shows good activity in catalytic ozonation. The key reactive species in this process is OH, and various pathways for its generation in this process is proposed. This work provides a new direction of catalyst preparation and pushes forward the application of photocatalytic ozonation in water treatment. | Jin Yang Xuelian Liu Hongbin Cao Yanchun Shi Yongbing Xie Jiadong Xiao | 2019 | Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering2019,13,1: | 5 |
| 3 | Carbon-coated cubic-phase molybdenum carbide nanoparticle for enhanced photocatalytic H2-evolution performance of TiO_(2)显示文摘Conventional hexagonal dimolybdenum carbide(Mo2 C) as a good cocatalyst has been widely applied for the enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production of various photocatalysts. Compared with the hexagonal Mo2 C, however, the investigation about cubic molybdenum carbide(Mo C) is still very limited in photocatalytic field. In this study, carbon-coated cubic molybdenum carbide(MoC@C) nanoparticle was synthesized and used as an effective cocatalyst to improve the H2-evolution efficiency of Ti O2. The cubic MoC@C can be obtained by adjusting the mass ratio of C3 N3(NH2)3 to(NH4)6 Mo7 O(24)(2:1) and controlling the calcination temperature to 800 °C. When the above cubic MoC@C nanoparticles were evenly loaded on the Ti O2 via a sonication-assisted deposition, a homogeneous composite of TiO2/MoC@C was formed due to the strong coupling interface between TiO2 and cubic MoC nanoparticles. More importantly, the highest H2-production rate of Ti O-12/MoC@C reached 504 μmol hg^(-1)(AQE=1.43%), which was 50 times as high as that of the pure TiO2. The enhanced performance of TiO2/MoC@C can be attributed to the synergistic effect of carbon layer as an electron mediator and the cubic MoC as interfacial H2-evolution active sites. This work provides a feasible guideline to develop high-efficiency Mo-based cocatalysts for potential applications in the H2-evolution field. | jinfeng Liu Ping Wang jiajie Fan Huogen Yu | 2020 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2020,29,12: | 4 |
| 4 | Synergistic impact of cocatalysts and hole scavenger for promoted photocatalytic H2 evolution in mesoporous TiO2–NiSx hybrid显示文摘Photocatalytic solar energy conversion to hydrogen is sustainable and attractive for addressing the global energy and environmental issue. Herein, a novel photocatalytic system (NiS/Ni3S4 cocatalysts modified mesoporous TiO2) with superior photocatalytic hydrogen evolution capability through the synergistic impact of NiS/Ni3S4 (NiSx) cocatalyst and efficient hole scavenger has been demonstrated. The photocatalytic hydrogen evolution of TiO2-NiSx hybrids with the different content of NiSx and upon different organic hole scavengers was both investigated. The hybrid of TiO2 decorated with 3%(mole ratio of Ni^2+) NiSx cocatalyst in methanol solution showed the optimal photocatalytic hydrogen evolution rate of 981.59 μmol h^-1 g^-1 which was about 20 times higher than that of bare mesoporous TiO2. Our results suggested that the boosted hydrogen production performance is attributed to both the improved photoinduced electrons migration between NiS and Ni3S4 in cocatalyst and the high hole captured efficiency by hole scavengers of methanol. | Yi Wei Gang Cheng Jinyan Xiong Jiaxin Zhu Yixin Gan Mengmeng Zhang Zhen Li Shixue Dou | 2019 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2019,28,5: | 3 |
| 5 | Highly efficient S_(2-)-adsorbed MoSx-modified TiO_(2) photocatalysts:A general grafting strategy and boosted interfacial charge transfer显示文摘Exploiting efficient and low-cost cocatalyst with a facile grafting strategy is of critical importance for significantly boosting the photocatalytic H2-evolution activity.In this study,S2^--adsorbed MoSx nanoparticle as a superior H2-evolutoin cocatalyst was successfully grafted on the TiO2 surface to greatly boost its photocatalytic activity via one-step lactic acid-induced synthesis strategy.Herein,the lactic acid can induce the homogeneous production of amorphous MoSx(a-MoSx)nanoparticles from MoS42-precursor,while the symbiotic S2^-ions can be easily and availably self-adsorbed on the a-Mo Sxsurface,resulting in the formation of S2^--adsorbed a-Mo Sxnanoparticles with a small size of 0.5-3 nm.Photocatalytic results manifested that the S2^--adsorbed Mo Sxnanoparticles could dramatically facilitate the H2-generation rate of TiO2 photocatalysts(3452μmol h^-1 g^-1,AQE=16.5%).In situ irradiated XPS in conjunction with transient-state PL and photoelectrochemical tests reveal that the improved H_(2)-generation activity can be ascribed to the synergistic effect of boosted interfacial charge transfer from TiO_(2) to S^(2-)adsorbed Mo Sx and the superior H_(2)-evolution reaction on self-adsorbed S_(2-)ions.In addition,the S^(2-)-adsorbed Mo Sx nanoparticles can also act as the general H_(2)-generation cocatalyst to obviously promote the activity of other typical host photocatalysts such as g-C_(3) N_(4) and Cd S.This work provides an innovative approach to develop high-efficiency Mo Sx-based cocatalyst with boosted interfacial charge transfer toward highly efficient photocatalytic materials. | Duoduo Gao Ranran Yuan Jiajie Fan Xuekun Hong Huogen Yu | 2020 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2020,56,21: | 3 |
| 6 | FeCo alloy@N-doped graphitized carbon as an efficient cocatalyst for enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution by inducing accelerated charge transfer显示文摘Cocatalysts play important roles in improving the activity and stability of most photocatalysts.It is of great significance to develop economical,efficient and stable cocatalysts.Herein,using Na2CoFe(CN)6 complex as precursor,a novel noble-metal-free FeCo@NGC cocatalyst(nano-FeCo alloy@N-doped graphitized carbon) is fabricated by a simple pyrolysis method.Coupling with g-C3 N4, the optimal FeCo@NGC/g-C3N4 receives a boosted visible light driven photocatalytic H2 evolution rate of 42.2 μmol h-1, which is even higher than that of 1.0 wt% Pt modified g-C3N4 photocatalyst.Based on the results of density functional theory(DFT) calculations and practical experiment measurements,such outstanding photocatalytic performance of FeCo@NGC/g-C3N4 is mainly attributed to two aspects.One is the accelerated charge transfer behavior,induced by a photogene rated electrons secondary transfer performance on the surface of FeCo alloy nanoparticles.The other is related to the adjustment of H adsorption energy(approaching the standard hydrogen electrode potential) by the presence of external NGC thin layer.Both factors play key roles in the H2 evolution reaction.Such outstanding performance highlights an enormous potential of developing noble-metal-free bimetallic nano-alloy as inexpensive and efficient cocatalysts for solar applications. | Sibo Chen Yun Hau Ng Jihai Liao Qiongzhi Gao Siyuan Yang Feng Peng Xinhua Zhong Yueping Fang Shengsen Zhang | 2021 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2021,30,1: | 3 |
| 7 | A short review on recent progress of Bi/semiconductor photocatalysts:The role of Bi metal显示文摘Bi/semiconductor photocatalysts have extensively been applied in the production of hydrogen,CO_(2) reduction and environmental remediation in recent years.This short review summarizes the role of Bi metal as a plasma photocatalyst and cocatalyst.As a cocatalyst,Bi metal can be electron/hole trappers,charge transfer mediators,or oxygen vacancy coordinators.In addition,the preparation methods of the Bi/semiconductor photocatalysts are also reviewed.Challenges and future research directions related to Bi/semiconductor photocatalysts are discussed and summarized,including the use of advanced characterization techniques to refine the reaction mechanism,the difficulties of preparing Bi single atom catalyst,and the improvement of the reduction ability of Bi-based photocatalysts.This review helps understand the reaction mechanisms of the composite photocatalytic systems containing Bi metal and proposes new perspectives for designing the photocatalysts which can control air pollution via a reductive process. | Qian Chen Xuanrui Cheng Huimin Long Yongfang Rao | 2020 | Chinese Chemical Letters2020,31,10: | 2 |
| 8 | Recent research progress of bimetallic phosphides-based nanomaterials as cocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution显示文摘Hydrogen energy(H_(2)) has been considered as the most possible consummate candidates for replacing the traditional fossil fuels because of its higher combustion heat value and lower environmental pollution.Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution(PHE) from water splitting based on semiconductors is a promising technology towards converting solar energy into sustainable H_(2)fuel evolution. Developing high-activity and abundant source semiconductor materials is particularly important to realize highly efficient hydrogen evolution as for photocatalysis technology. However, unmodified pristine photocatalysts are often unable to overcome the weakness of low performance due to their limitations. In recent years, transition metal phosphides(TMPs) were used as valid co-catalysts to replace the classic precious metal materials in the process of photocatalytic reaction owing to their lower cost and higher combustion heat value.What is more, bimetallic phosphides have been also caused widespread concern in H_(2)evolution reaction owing to its much lower overpotential, more superior conductivity, and weaker charge carriers transfer impedance in comparison to those of single metal phosphides. In this minireview, we concluded the latest developments of bimetallic phosphides for a series of photocatalytic reactions. Firstly, we briefly summarize the present loading methods of bimetallic phosphides(BMPs) anchored on the photocatalyst. After that, the H;evolution efficiency based on BMPs as cocatalyst is also studied in detail. Besides, the application of BMPs-based host photocatalyst for H_(2)evolution under dye sensitization effect has also been discussed. At last, the current development prospects and prospective challenges in many ways of BMPs are proposed. We sincerely hope this minireview has certain reference value for great developments of BMPs in the future research. | Chunmei Li Daqiang Zhu Shasha Cheng Yan Zuo Yun Wang Changchang Ma Hongjun Dong | 2022 | Chinese Chemical Letters2022,33,3: | 2 |
| 9 | Advances and challenges in developing cocatalysts for photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to fuels显示文摘The global adoption of efficient sustainable energy sources is a crucial step toward meeting energy demands while achieving carbon emission reduction targets.Solar energy has become a clean and cost-competitive alternative to traditional fossil fuels,but the intermittent nature of sunlight results in challenges associated with energy storage and transport.Photocatalytic carbon dioxide reduction intends to mimic natural photosynthesis for utilizing sunlight to chemically convert water and CO_(2) into fuels.In this process,the solar energy is captured and stored in fuels,so-called solar fuels,for widespread on-demand use.Heterogeneous solar fuel production systems are multi-component,comprising light-harvesting(photosensitizer)and catalytic(cocatalyst)units.Cocatalysts are indispensable for photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction systems,which promote charge carrier separation and transport,reduce the reaction activation energy,and alter the reaction route,thereby enhancing the activity and selectivity of the photocatalytic reactions.This review presents a comprehensive summary of the recent advancements in cocatalysts for photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR),with the purpose of providing new insights and guidance to the field with regard to research directions and best practices.We summarize how various cocatalysts including inorganic nanoparticles,metal complexes,enzymes,and bacteria can be combined with semiconductor photosensitizer for light-driven photocatalytic CO_(2)RR.Side-by-side comparisons reveal the strengths and limitations of each kind of cocatalysts and how lessons extracted from studying natural photosynthetic systems can be applied to investigations of artificial photosynthesis,presenting an outlook discussing possible future concepts for a more effective photocatalytic CO_(2) reduction process. | Qian Wang Zhenhua Pan | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,12: | 2 |
| 10 | Fabrication of Ni Nanoclusters-Modied Brookite TiO2 Quasi Nanocubes and Its Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Performance显示文摘The development of low-cost, earth-abundant and highly-ecient cocatalysts is still impor- tant to promote the photocatalytic H2 evolution reaction over semiconductors. Herein, a series of Ni nanoclusters (NCs) modied brookite TiO2 quasi nanocubes (BTN)(marked as Ni/BTN) are fabricated via a chemical reduction process. It is found that the loading content and oxidation state of Ni NCs can signiticantly inuence the optical absorption, photocat-alytic activity, and stability of Ni/BTN composites. Among the resultant Ni NCs-loaded products, 0.1%Ni/BTN composite delivers the best H2 evolution activity (156μmol/h), which is 4.3 times higher than that of the BTN alone (36 mol/h). Furthermore, the Ni NCs with ultrane size (-2 nm) and high dispersity enable shorter charge transfer distance by quickly capturing the photoexcited electrons of BTN, and thus result in the improved activity even though the oxidization of some Ni NCs on BTN is harmful to the activity for H2 evolution due to the much lower electron capturing capability of NiO than metallic Ni. This study not only clari es that brookite TiO2 would be a promising high-ecient photo- catalyst for H2 evolution, but also reveals vital clues for further improving its photocatalytic performance using low-cost Ni-based cocatalyst. | Peng Zeng Jin-yan Liu Jin-ming Wang Tian-you Peng | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics2019,32,5: | 2 |
| 11 | Deactivation Effect Caused by Catalyst-Cocatalyst Pre-contact in Propylene Polymerization with MgCl2-supported Ziegler-Natta Catalyst显示文摘Propylene slurry polymerization with a MgCl2-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst containing internal electron donor was conducted after different durations of pre-contact of the catalyst with triethylaluminum cocatalyst. The number of active centers([C*]/[Ti])was determined by quenching the polymerization with 2-thiophenecarbonyl chloride and measuring sulfur content in the polymer. The pre-contact treatment caused selective deactivation of a part of active centers with low stereoselectivity and much lower activity in the initial stage of polymerization as compared with the polymerization run without the pre-contact stage. The active center concentration and polymerization activity decreased with prolonging of the pre-contact stage. The proportion of stereoselective active centers was increased by prolonging the pre-contact stage, so the isotacticity of produced polypropylene was enhanced. Release of active centers through catalyst particle fragmentation was significantly retarded, and the polymerization rate curve changed from decay type to induction type by the precontact treatment. In the induction period both non-stereoselective and stereoselective active centers were released and activated, resulting in gradual reduction of the polymer’s isotacticity in the first 5-10 min of polymerization. Selective deactivation of non-stereoselective active centers also took place in propylene polymerization using the catalyst without pre-contacting with the cocatalyst. In this case, the polymerization rate decayed with time after a short induction period of 2-5 min. Over reduction of the active center precursors with low stereoselectivity by triethylaluminum was considered as the reason for their deactivation during the pre-contact or the polymerization processes. | Zhen Zhang Bai-Yu Jiang Biao Zhang Zhi-Sheng Fu Zhi-Qiang Fan | 2019 | Chinese Journal of Polymer Science2019,37,10: | 2 |
| 12 | Room-temperature photodeposition of conformal transition metal based cocatalysts on BiVO4 for enhanced photoelectrochemical water splitting显示文摘Photoelectrochemical(PEC)water splitting using semiconductors offers a promising way to convert renewable solar energy to clean hydrogen fuels.However,due to the sluggish reaction kinetics of water oxidation,significant charge recombination occurred at the photoanode/electrolyte interface and cause decrease of its PEC performance.To reduce the surface recombination,we deposit different transition metal complexes on BiVO4 nanocone arrays by a versatile light driven in-situ two electrode photodeposition approach without applied bias.Conformal cobalt phosphate“Co-Pi”,nickel borate“Ni-Bi”and manganese phosphate“Mn-Pi”complexes were deposited on BiVO4 nanocone arrays to form core-shell structure photoanode,all of which lead to enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.The photocurrent of the Co-Pi/BiVO4 photoanode under front-side illumination for 5 min is increased by 4 folds comparing to that of bare BiVO4 photoanode at 0.6 V vs.RHE,reaching a hole transfer efficiency as high as 94.5%at 1.23 V vs.RHE.The proposed photodeposition strategy is simple and efficient,and can be extended to deposite cocatalyst on other semiconductors with a valence band edge located at a potential more positive than the oxidation potential of transition metal ion in the cocatalyst. | Lu Wang Tao Zhang Jinzhan Su Liejin Guo | 2020 | Nano Research2020,13,1: | 2 |
| 13 | Activation of hydrogen peroxide by molybdenum disulfide as Fenton-like catalyst and cocatalyst:Phase-dependent catalytic performance and degradation mechanism显示文摘Molybdenum disulfide(Mo S_(2))has attracted great attention in hydrogen peroxide(H_(2)O_(2))activation as a Fenton-like catalyst and cocatalyst,but the distinct mechanism of generating^(·)OH remains unclear.In this paper,the metallic 1T phase and semiconducting 2H phase of Mo S_(2)nanosheets were prepared and applied in MoS_(2)/H_(2)O_(2)and MoS_(2)/Fe^(2+)/H_(2)O_(2)systems with and without light irradiation.Compared with2H-MoS_(2),1T-MoS_(2)exhibited superior removal rates in degrading organic pollutants in the two systems under light irradiation.However,the phase had little effect on activating H_(2)O_(2)in the Mo S_(2)/H_(2)O_(2)system under dark conditions.This is because it was difficult for the surface^(·)OH_(ads)generated in the Mo S_(2)/H_(2)O_(2)system to diffuse into solution,while the^(·)OH_(free)radicals were mainly responsible for degrading organic pollutants.When introducing light irradiation,external energy may accelerate the desorption of^(·)OH_(ads)into^(·)OH_(free.)Interestingly,the conversion between Mo^(4+)and Mo^(5+)triggered the decomposition of H_(2)O_(2)in the Fenton-like reaction,while the cycle of Mo^(4+)/Mo^(6+)promoted the regeneration of Fe^(3+)when employing 1T-MoS_(2)as a cocatalyst.Meanwhile,the 1T-MoS_(2)catalysts exhibited excellent stability and ability to degrade various organics in the two systems.This work offers deeper insight into the Mo S_(2)-based Fenton-like and cocatalytic mechanisms. | Yue Li Bo Yu Huimin Li Bo Liu Xiang Yu Kewei Zhang Gang Qin Jiahao Lu Lihui Zhang Longlu Wang | 2023 | Chinese Chemical Letters2023,34,5: | 1 |
| 14 | Metal-seed assistant photodeposition of platinum over Ta_(3)N_(5) photocatalyst for promoted solar hydrogen production under visible light显示文摘Cocatalysts play a vital role in accelerating the reaction kinetics and improving the charge separation of photocatalysts for solar hydrogen production.The promotion of the photocatalytic activity largely relies on the loading approach of the cocatalysts.Herein,we introduce a metal-seed assistant photodeposition approach to load the hydrogen evolution cocatalyst of platinum onto the surface of Ta_(3)N_(5) photocatalyst,which exhibits about 3.6 times of higher photocatalytic proton reduction activity with respect to the corresponding impregnation or photodeposition loading.Based on our characterizations,the increscent contact area of the cocatalyst/semiconductor interface with metal-seed assistant photodeposition method is proposed to be responsible for the promoted charge separation as well as enhanced photocatalytic H2 evolution activity.It is interesting to note that this innovative deposition strategy can be easily extended to loading of platinum cocatalyst with other noble or non-noble metal seeds for promoted activities,demonstrating its good generality.Our work may provide an alternative way of depositing cocatalyst for better photocatalytic performances. | Juhong Lian Deng Li Yu Qi Nengcong Yang Rui Zhang Tengfeng Xie Naijia Guan Landong Li Fuxiang Zhang | 2021 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2021,30,4: | 1 |
| 15 | Construction of atomic-level charge transfer channel in Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)/MXene heterojunctions for improved visible-light photocatalytic performance显示文摘Exploring efficient co-catalysts to accurately steer the charge separation of semiconductor photocatalysts is highly desired yet remains challenging.Here,we tackle the significant challenge by in situ growing the Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)photocatalyst onto two-dimensional(2D)Cl-terminated Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene to construct 2D/2D heterojunction of Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)and Ti_(3)C_(2).Firstly,2D few-layered Ti_(3)C_(2)MXene with chlorine groups has been successfully syn-thesized by Lewis acidic etching strategy with subsequent ultrasonic exfoliation.The grafting of chlorine terminations on the surface of MXene serves as nucleating centers and growth platform,resulting in the formation of strong interfacial bonds(Bi-Cl-Ti)between Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)and Ti_(3)C_(2).These strong bonds can facilitate the separation and transfer of photo-generated charge carriers between Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)photocatalyst and Ti_(3)C_(2)cocatalyst.As expec-ted,the photocatalytic degradation rate of Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)/Ti_(3)C_(2)hybrids is 9.7 times higher than that of bare Bi_(12)O_(17)C_(l2)nanosheets.This work not only exhibits a new design concept to effectively steer the charge separation for photocatalysis,but also gives a reference for constructing efficient MXene-based photocatalytic systems. | Song-Song Cui Xuan Liu Yin-Biao Shi Ming-Ye Ding Xiao-Fei Yang | 2022 | Rare Metals2022,41,7: | 1 |
| 16 | An isolation strategy to anchor atomic Ni or Co cocatalysts on TiO_(2)(A)for photocatalytic hydrogen production显示文摘TiO_(2) has been considered as an ideal photocatalyst for water splitting.However,narrow light absorbance,low charge separation efficiency,and rare surface active sites lead to the low photocatalytic efficiency of TiO_(2).Although extensive research attempted to improve the situation,there is still lack of method for constructing high active and noble-metal-free TiO_(2) photocatalyst for H_(2) evolution reactions(HER).In this work,we loaded single atomic(SA)Ni(or Co)on the surface of anatase TiO_(2)(TiO_(2)(A))nanosheets by an isolation strategy.Ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid and ethylene glycol(EDTA-EG)compounds were used to chelate metal ions in solution and form carbon quantum dots in the following thermal treatment to isolate the metal ions on surface of TiO_(2)(A).The prepared Ni SA/TiO_(2)(A)catalyst owned a“skin wrapped body”structure with in-situ formed twodimensional(2D)heterojunction facilitating the fast electron transfer.As a result,the Ni SA/TiO_(2)(A)catalyst showed a high H_(2) evolution rate of 2,900μmol·g−1·h−1.This work provides an isolation strategy for constructing promising single-atom metal catalyst for photocatalysis and beyond. | Shangchun Lv Mengxi Pei Yuxiang Liu Zhichun Si Xiaodong Wu Rui Ran Duan Weng Feiyu Kang | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,7: | 0 |

The aluminoxane made from theTEA/TIBA mixture of molar ratio 7:3 showed cocatalyst activity of about five times as those ofethylaluminoxane or isobutylaluminoxane for ethylene polymerization catalyzed by Cp2ZrCl2. Thealuminoxane was characterized and the possible reasons for its high activity were discussed. | Zhi Qiang FAN Qi WANG Jian Hua WENG Lin Xian FENG (Institute of Polymer Science and Materials, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310027) | 1998 | Chinese Chemical Letters1998,9,9: | 0 |
| 18 | Bridging localized electron states of pyrite-type C0S_(2) cocatalyst for activated solar H_(2) evolution显示文摘The development of low-cost and high-active cocatalysts is one of the most significant links for photocatalytic water splitting.Herein,a novel strategy of electron delocalization modulation for transition metal sulfides has been developed by anion hybridization.P-modified CoS_(2)(CoS_(2)|P)nanocrystals were firstly fabricated via a gas-solid reaction and coupled with CdS nanorods to construct a composite catalyst for solar H2 evolution reaction(HER).The CdS/CoS_(2)|P catalyst shows an HER rate of 57.8 pmol h-1,which is 18 times that of the bare CdS,8 times that of the CdS/CoS2,and twice that of Pt/CdS.The reduced energy barrier and suppressed reverse reaction for HER on the catalyst have been predicted and explained by density functional theory(DFT)calculation.The underlying design strategy of novel cocatalysts by electron delocalization modulation may shed light on the rational development of other advanced catalysts for energy conversion. | Hengming Huang Chen Xue Zhenggang Fang Zhiliang Wang Bin Luo Menglong Sun Ling Zhou Kan Hu Jiahui Kou Lianzhou Wang Chunhua Lu | 2022 | Nano Research2022,15,1: | 0 |
| 19 | First-principles investigation of β-Ge3N4 loaded with RuO2 cocatalyst for photocatalytic overall water splitting显示文摘β-Ge3N4 loaded with nanoparticulate RuO2 as a cocatalyst is the first successful non-oxide photocatalyst for overall water splitting.To get an insight into the working mechanism of this particular photocatalytic system,we have calculated geometrical structures of low-index surfaces forβ-Ge3N4.Analysis of surface energies indicates that the most preferentially exposed surface is(100).The band gap of surface is narrower than that of bulk due to the dangling bonds.Dissociative water adsorption on(100)surface is thermodynamically favorable.The adsorption behavior of(RuO2)n(n=2,3,and 4)clusters on theβ-Ge3N4(100)surface has been explored.It is found that all the clusters bind to(100)surface strongly by forming interfacial bonds so that the adsorptions are exothermic processes.The calculation on density of states forβ-Ge3N4(100)surface loaded with(RuO2)nclusters reveals that photo-induced electrons tend to accumulate on(RuO2)nclusters and holes tend to stay inβ-Ge3N4.Based on the theoretical indication of Type-II staggered band alignment,we have proposed that in photocatalytic water splitting reaction,oxygen evolution reaction is inclined to occur on the surface ofβ-Ge3N4 while hydrogen evolution reaction is apt to occur on(RuO2)nclusters.In a word,loading RuO2 nanoparticles as a reduction cocatalyst benefits the charge separation inβ-Ge3N4.Furthermore,attaching(RuO2)nclusters ontoβ-Ge3N4(100)surface results in the redshift of absorption edge and the increase of absorption intensity.Our calculations have reasonably explained the experimental observation on the decomposition of water into H2 and O2 after loading RuO2 cocatalyst inβ-Ge3N4 photocatalyst. | Yanxia Ma Miaomiao Wang Xin Zhou | 2020 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2020,29,5: | 0 |
| 20 | Cobalt-Based Cocatalysts for Photocatalytic CO_(2)Reduction显示文摘Conversion of carbon dioxide(CO_(2))into valuable chemicals and renewable fuels via photocatalysis represents an eco-friendly route to achieve the goal of carbon neutralization.Although various types of semiconductor materials have been intensively explored,some severe issues,such as rapid charge recombination and sluggish redox reaction kinetics,remain.In this regard,cocatalyst modifi cation by trapping charges and boosting surface reactions is one of the most effi cient strategies to improve the effi ciency of semiconductor photocatalysts.This review focuses on recent advances in CO_(2)photoreduction over costeff ective and earth-abundant cobalt(Co)-based cocatalysts,which are competitive candidates of noble metals for practical applications.First,the functions of Co-based cocatalysts for promoting photocatalytic CO_(2)reduction are briefl y discussed.Then,diff erent kinds of Co-based cocatalysts,including cobalt oxides and hydroxides,cobalt nitrides and phosphides,cobalt sulfi des and selenides,Co single-atom,and Co-based metal–organic frameworks(MOFs),are summarized.The underlying mechanisms of these Co-based cocatalysts for facilitating CO_(2)adsorption–activation,boosting charge separation,and modulating intermediate formation are discussed in detail based on experimental characterizations and density functional theory calculations.In addition,the suppression of the competing hydrogen evolution reaction using Co-based cocatalysts to promote the product selectivity of CO_(2)reduction is highlighted in some selected examples.Finally,the challenges and future perspectives on constructing more effi cient Co-based cocatalysts for practical applications are proposed. | Mengqing Li Lijuan Shen Min-Quan Yang | 2022 | Transactions of Tianjin University2022,28,6: | 0 |
