Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising strategy for addressing the worldwide environmental pollution and energy shortage issues. However, unlike TiO2 with good photostability, intrinsic drawback of photoinduced decomposition, i.e., photocorrosion, semiconductors significantly challenges durable photocatalysis. In this review, photocorrosion mechanisms typical different characterization methods proposed monitoring process semiconductor-based composite photocatalysts are elaborated....

The performance of transition metal hydroxides, as cocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction, is significantly limited by their inherent weaknesses poor conductivity and stacked structure. Herein, we report the rational assembly a series hydroxides on graphene to act cocatalyst ensemble efficient photoreduction. In particular, with Ru-dye visible light photosensitizer, hierarchical Ni(OH)2 nanosheet arrays-graphene (Ni(OH)2-GR) composites exhibit superior photoactivity selectivity, which remarkably...

The development of efficient catalyst for photoredox-catalyzed selective organic synthesis has consitently been an attractive objective in recent years. Regarding semiconductor-based photocatalysts, cadmium sulfide (CdS) materials have received extensive consideration various photoredox reactions because their suitable band gap (about 2.4 eV) visible light response and well-matched edge stations. In this paper, we begin with a concise discussion the basic physical properties CdS materials,...

Photocatalytic hydrogen (H2) evolution coupled with selective organic synthesis over semiconductor-based photocatalysts is attractive because the clean H2 fuel and value-added chemicals can be coproduced at ambient conditions using solar light as sole energy input. Here, we report efficient merging catalysis of photoredox-driven dehydrogenative C–C coupling benzyl alcohol (BA) into hydrobenzoin (HB) SiO2-supported semiconductor CdS quantum dots (QDs) temperature pressure. In this system,...

Semiconductor-based photoredox catalysis brings an innovative strategy for sustainable organic transformation (e.g., C-C/C-X bond formation), via radical coupling under mild conditions. However, since semiconductors interact with photogenerated radicals unselectively, the precise control of selectivity such synthesis by steering conversion is extremely challenging. Here, judicious design a structurally well-defined and atomically dispersed cocatalyst over semiconductor quantum dots, we...

Abstract Solar‐driven syngas production by CO 2 reduction provides a sustainable strategy to produce renewable feedstocks. However, this promising reaction often suffers from tough activation, sluggish oxidative half‐reaction kinetics and undesired by‐products. Herein, we report function‐oriented of deliberately constructing black phosphorus quantum dots‐ZnIn S 4 (BP/ZIS) heterostructures for solar‐driven syngas, paired with selectively C−N bond formation, in one redox cycle. The optimal...
