Smart yolk–shell nanoparticles (hollow with a movable core) an acidic shell and basic core were fabricated through organosilane-assisted selective etching method acted as efficient nanoreactors for catalyzing deacetalization–Henry cascade reaction high activity selectivity. This strategy is very promising the design of multifunctional reactions.
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction (PCR) is able to convert solar energy into chemicals, fuels, and feedstocks, but limited by the deficiencies of photocatalysts in steering photon-to-electron conversion activating CO2, especially pure water. Here we report an efficient, water CO2-to-CO photocatalyzed sub-3-nm-thick BiOCl nanosheets with van der Waals gaps (VDWGs) on two-dimensional facets, a graphene-analog motif distinct from majority previously reported usually bearing VDWGs lateral facets....
Abstract The objective of photocatalytic CO 2 reduction (PCR) is to achieve high selectivity for a single energy‐bearing product with efficiency and stability. bulk configuration usually determines charge carrier kinetics, whereas surface atomic arrangement defines the PCR thermodynamic pathway. Concurrent engineering structures therefore crucial achieving goal PCR. Herein, an ultrastable highly selective using homogeneously doped BiOCl nanosheets synthesized via inventive molten strategy...
Abstract Efficient molecular oxygen activation is crucial for catalytic oxidation reaction, but highly depends on the construction of active sites. In this study, we demonstrate that dual adjacent Fe atoms anchored MnO 2 can assemble into a diatomic site, also called as -hosted dimer, which activates to form an intermediate species Fe(O = O)Fe efficient CO oxidation. These single-atom sites exhibit stronger O performance than conventional surface vacancy This work sheds light mechanisms...
Room-temperature molecular oxygen (O2) dissociation is challenging toward chemical reactions due to its triplet ground-state and spin-forbidden characteristic. Herein, we demonstrate that BiOCl of chlorine dual vacancies can photocatalytically dissociate O2 into monatomic reactive (•O-) for the ring opening aromatic refractory pollutants deep oxidation. The electron-rich geometry-flexible remarkably lengthen O-O bond adsorbed from 1.21 2.74 Å, resulting in rapid subsequent •O- formation....
The photocatalytic O2 activation for pollutant removal highly depends on the controlled generation of desired reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, we demonstrate that robust excitonic effect BiOBr nanosheets, which is prototypical singlet (1O2) production to partially oxidize NO into a more toxic intermediate NO2, can be weakened by surface boronizing via inducing staggered band alignment from bulk and simultaneously generating vacancy (VO). destabilizes excitons facilitates their...
Abstract Constructing heterojunctions is an efficient approach for enhancing charge separation to optimize photoreactivity. Although the aligned built‐in electric fields across heterointerface are generally considered as main driving force separation, diffusion‐controlled also happens, which poorly investigated in photocatalytic heterojunctions. Here, a perylene‐3,4,9,10‐tetracarboxylic diimide (PDI)–bismuth oxyiodide (BiOI) heterojunction elaborately fabricated by situ successive ion layer...
Seawater is one of the most important CO2 sequestration media for delivering value-added chemicals/fuels and active chlorine; however, this scenario plagued by sluggish reaction rates poor product selectivity. Herein, we first report synthesis nitrogen-doped BiOCl atomic layers to directly split carbon-sequestrated natural seawater (Yellow Sea, China) into stoichiometric CO (92.8 μmol h-1 ) HClO (83.2 under visible light with selectivities greater than 90 %. Photoelectrons enriched on...
Precisely managing electron transfer pathways throughout the catalytic reaction is paramount for bolstering both efficacy and endurance of catalysts, offering a pivotal solution to addressing concerns surrounding host structure destabilization cycling life degradation. This paper describes integration B-Ni dual single-atoms within MnO2 channels serve as an electronic reservoir direct route during methane combustion. Comprehensive analysis discovers that B atoms weaken interaction between O...
In this paper, we present the synthesis of yolk–shell nanocomposites (NCs) with moveable cores (Fe3O4, Au nanoparticles (NPs)) and functionalized organosilica mesoporous shells by an organosilane-assisted etching approach for first time. This method is facile, general, rapid. By adding organosilanes such as 1,2-bis(trimethoxysilyl)ethane (BTME) 1,4-bis(triethoxysilyl)benzene (BTEB) into synthetic medium NPs@silica (Fe3O4 NPs) core–shell NCs, species deposit on surface while initial silica...
Optimizing kinetic barriers of ammonia synthesis to reduce the energy intensity has recently attracted significant research interest. The motivation for is discover means by which activation N2 dissociation and NHz (z = 1–2, surface intermediates) destabilization can be reduced simultaneously, that is, breaking "scaling relationship". However, far only a single success been reported in 2016 based on discovery strong–weak N-bonding pair: transition metals (nitrides)-LiH. Described herein...
