Elucidating protonation pathways in CO2 photoreduction using the kinetic isotope effect

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: Jan. 10, 2024

Abstract The surge in anthropogenic CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel dependence demands innovative solutions, such as artificial photosynthesis, to convert into value-added products. Unraveling the photoreduction mechanism at molecular level is vital for developing high-performance photocatalysts. Here we show kinetic isotope effect evidence contested protonation pathway on TiO nanoparticles, which challenges long-held assumption of electron-initiated activation. Employing isotopically labeled H O/D O and in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, observe + /D -protonated intermediates nanoparticles capture their inverse decay effect. Our findings significantly broaden our understanding uptake semiconductor
