The development of robust and efficient water splitting photocatalysts overcomes a long-standing barrier to sustainable large-scale solar hydrogen evolution systems.
Triazole-based g-C3N5, a potential catalyst, has received little attention over the years. We prepared phosphorus-doped g-C3N5 with one triazole and two triazine units for first time to investigate its photoelectrochemical (PEC) photocatalytic properties. The doping states crystalline structures of samples were determined using X-ray techniques, namely, diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy, absorption fine structure analysis. Our results suggested that phosphorus was substituted into...

The interaction of photogenerated carries in GaN photocatalyst with Pt cocatalyst for hydrogen evolution under irradiation was investigated from situ ATR-SEIRAS measurement by following the CO vibrational frequency. After irradiation, frequency shifted higher, indicating that Fermi level particles positively holes. Thereafter, a lower peak appeared, some negatively to potential electrons, which is essential function cocatalysis evolution.
The CO oxidation reaction on the Pd(111) model catalyst at various temperatures (200–400 °C) under hundreds mTorr pressure conditions has been monitored by in situ ambient X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy.

Most important tactual impressions are (i) heaviness coldness (ii) wet smoothness, (iii) hardness. MDS yields nearly perfect one pattern. Metals fibers at...
In situ O K-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was applied to investigate the electronic and structural change in nickel–borate (Ni–Bi) electrocatalyst during oxygen evolution reaction (OER). An peak observed around 528.7 eV at 1.0 V versus Ag/AgCl a potassium borate aqueous solution, which relates with formation of nanoscale order domains edge-sharing NiO6 octahedra Ni–Bi electrocatalyst. XAFS spectra were measured variation electrode potential from 0.3 up V. The peaks...
Even though the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is thermodynamically much more favored than chlorine (CER), former sluggish. Thus, electrolysis of solutions containing a high concentration chlorides yields preferentially chlorine. In this study, thin film consisting oxygen-deficient and disordered manganese oxide nanolayers on fluorine-doped tin (FTO) electrode exhibited selectivity for OER over CER in 0.5 M NaCl solution. The catalyst was fabricated by electrodeposition layered dioxide...
Some common onium salts catalysed selective urethane production from amines and alkyl halides in supercritical carbon dioxide, which acted not only as an alternative to organic solvents but also a phosgene replacement; the reaction efficiency was 50100 times higher than that attained heptane.
Catalytic CO oxidation reaction on a Pd(100) single-crystal surface under several hundred mTorr pressure conditions has been studied by ambient X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy. In-situ observation of the reveals that two pathways switch over alternatively depending temperature.
