Strain engineering is an attractive strategy for improving the intrinsic catalytic performance of heterogeneous catalysts. Manipulating strain on short-range atomic scale to local structure sites still challenging. Herein, we successfully achieved modulation ultrathin layered vanadium oxide nanoribbons by ingenious intercalation chemistry method. When trace sodium cations were introduced between V2O5 layers (Na+-V2O5), V-O bonds stretched atomically strained sites, redistributing charges. The Na+-V2O5 demonstrated excellent photooxidation performance, which was approximately 12 and 14 times higher than that pristine VO2, respectively. Complementary spectroscopy analysis theoretical calculations confirmed had a high surficial charge density, activation oxygen molecules contributing photocatalytic property. This work provides new approach rational design strain-equipped catalysts selective reactions.

Synchronized conversion of CO2 and H2O into hydrocarbons oxygen via infrared-ignited photocatalysis remains a challenge. Herein, the hydroxyl-coordinated single-site Ru is anchored precisely on metallic TiN surface by NaBH4/NaOH reforming method to construct an infrared-responsive HO-Ru/TiN photocatalyst. Aberration-corrected high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (ac-HAADF-STEM) X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) confirm atomic distribution species. XAS density functional theory (DFT) calculations unveil formation HO-RuN5-Ti Lewis pair sites, which achieves efficient polarization/activation dual coordination with C O atoms HO-Ru/TiN. Also, implanting species powerfully boosts separation transfer photoinduced charges. Under infrared irradiation, catalyst shows superior CO2-to-CO transformation activity coupled oxidation release O2, reduction rate can further be promoted about 3-fold under simulated sunlight. With key reaction intermediates determined in situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform (DRIFTS) predicted DFT simulations, possible photoredox mechanism system proposed.

Recently, the missing link between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis has been found it was named single-atom (SAC). However, SAC field still faces important challenges, one of which is controlling bonding/coordination single atoms support in order to compensate for increase surface energy when particle size reduced due atomic dispersion. Excellent candidates meet this requirement are carbon nitride (CN)-based materials. Metal can be firmly trapped nitrogen-rich coordination sites CN materials, makes them a unique class hosts preparing catalysts (SACs). As most promising two-dimensional supports stabilize isolated metal atoms, materials have increasingly employed SACs. Herein, we will cover recent advances single-atoms supported by In review, characterization techniques challenges faced topic discussed, commonly synthetic methods delineated different Finally, catalytic performance SACs based on nitrides reviewed with special focus their photocatalytic applications. particular, prove as non-innocent support.

Single-atom catalysts have exhibited great potential in the photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to C2 products, but generation gaseous multi-carbon hydrocarbon products is still challenging. Previously, supports a single atom consist multiple elements, making C-C coupling difficult because coordination environment single-atom sites diversified and control. Here, we steer by implanting an Au on red phosphorus (Au1/RP), support with uniform structure composed element, lower electronegativity, better ability absorb CO2. The electron-rich atoms near can function as active for activation. effectively reduce energy barrier coupling, boosting reaction kinetics formation C2H6. Notably, C2H6 selectivity turnover frequency Au1/RP reach 96% 7.39 h-1 without sacrificial agent, respectively, which almost represents best photocatalyst chemical synthesis date. This research will provide new ideas design high-efficiency photocatalysts products.

Conjugated polymers (CPs) represent a promising platform for photocatalytic CO2 fixation owing to their suitable band structures that meet the requirements of reduction potential value-added fuels. However, performance CPs is rather restrained by low charge transfer efficiency. Herein, we rationally designed three with more delocalized electronic transmission channel and planar molecular structure, which are regarded evidently reduce exciton binding energy (Eb ) accelerate internal process. Besides, assembly electron-output "tentacles" cocatalysts on surface could effectively facilitate interfacial electron delivery. Accordingly, optimal P-2CN exhibits an apparent quantum yield 4.6 % at 420 nm CO. Further adjusting amounts cyano groups cocatalysts, CO selectivity be obtained in range 0-80.5 %.
