Photocatalytic N2 reduction is a thermodynamically and kinetically challenging reaction. Many research works have focused on the construction of oxygen vacancy with abundant localized electrons in photocatalyst to activate weaken N≡N triple bond. In this work, we initially intended construct Bi2MO6 (M = W, Mo) nanomaterials achieve improved photocatalytic activity. However, NH4+ determination by Nessler's reagent method ion chromatography showed completely opposite results, indicating that...
Using ligand-protected metallic nanoclusters with atomic precision as catalysts and elucidating its ligand effect in the catalysis are prerequisites to deepen structure-catalysis relationship of at molecular level. Herein, a series Ag33 protected different thiolate ligands (2-phenylethanethiol, 4-chlorobenzyl mercaptan, 4-methoxybenzyl mercaptan precursors) were synthesized used heterogeneous for conversion nitroarenes arylamine NaBH4 reductant. The obtained exhibited ligand-dependent...
Polydispersed Ag species-modified TiO2 samples with abundant oxygen vacancies were successfully prepared through the calcination of atomically precise Ag33 nanocluster-loaded at an optimal temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere. The ligands nanoclusters are removed by extracting lattice from during calcination, leading to formation CO2, SO2, and H2O vapor. This process simultaneously induces species sintering on surface TiO2. resulting nanocomposites exhibited excellent catalytic activity...
