Generally, bulk graphic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) suffers from fast photogenerated charge carrier combination, inferior light absorption and insufficient active sites. Herein, we developed a defect engineering approach which can simultaneously realize O dopant N defects in the g-C3 framework via an acid-assisted thermal treatment route. The modified demonstrated greatly enhanced photocatalytic H2 activity with evolution rate of 2.20 mmol ⋅ g-1 h-1 , is more than three times higher that ....

Searching for active, durable, and economical electrocatalysts the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial developing future sustainable energy technologies. Herein, we present our recent endeavor in engineering of a high-efficiency OER electrocatalyst based on nanoscale nickel phosphide particles compositing with reduced graphene oxide (rGO/Ni2P), derived from supported metal-organic complex, through self-assembly, followed by low-temperature phosphidation. The desirable architectural...

Driven by the essential need of a green, safe, and low-cost approach to producing H2O2, highly valuable multifunctional chemical, artificial photosynthesis emerges as promising avenue. However, current catalyst systems remain challenging, due high-density sunlight, poor selectivity/activity, or/and unfavorable thermodynamics. Here, we reported that an indirect 2e- water oxidation reaction (WOR) in photocatalytic H2O2 production was unusually activated C5N2 with piezoelectric effects. Under...

Developing high-performance and earth-abundant electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is vital to renewable energy conversion systems. Herein, we have developed a facile approach nanoscale Co-doped iron phosphide (CoFe-P) with spindle-like morphology via topological of bimetallic metal–organic frameworks (MOF). It found that nanospindle together Co-doping induced downsizing beneficial increase electrochemical active surface area expose more centers catalysis and, meanwhile,...

Three double D−π–A sensitizers (A1, A3, and A5) containing different donors (triphenylamine, methoxy-modified triphenylamine, cyclic thiourea-functionalized triphenylamine) are synthesized to investigate the role of in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Detailed investigations reveal that spatial characteristics donor units have a considerable impact on light-harvesting, electrochemistry, photovoltaic properties. Benefiting from strong shielding ability alkyl chains its branch as observed...

Abstract Renewable and economical generation of hydrogen via electrochemical methods shows great potential in addressing the energy crisis. In this study, an emerging molten salt method was adopted for synthesis a cerium-modified rhenium disulfide nanosheet electrical evolution reactions. The prepared 1% Ce-doped (ReS 2 ) sample showed promoted performance both acid alkaline electrolytes compared to bare ReS . Generating abundant defects exposed more reaction active sites. Moreover, adding...
