Dual‐Atom Support Boosts Nickel‐Catalyzed Urea Electrooxidation

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(22)

Published: March 24, 2023

Nickel-based catalysts have been regarded as one of the most promising electrocatalysts for urea oxidation reaction (UOR), however, their activity is largely limited by inevitable self-oxidation Ni species (NSOR) during UOR. Here, we proposed an interface chemistry modulation strategy to trigger occurrence UOR before NSOR via constructing a 2D/2D heterostructure that consists ultrathin NiO anchored Ru-Co dual-atom support (Ru-Co DAS/NiO). Operando spectroscopic characterizations confirm this unique triggering mechanism on surface DAS/NiO. Consequently, fabricated catalyst exhibits outstanding with low potential 1.288 V at 10 mA cm-2 and remarkable long-term durability more than 330 h operation. DFT calculations demonstrate favorable electronic structure induced heterointerface endows energetically NSOR.

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is a remarkable semiconductor catalyst that has attracted widespread attention as visible light photo-responsive, metal-free, low-cost photocatalytic material. Pristine g-C3N4 suffers fast recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs, low surface area, and insufficient absorption, resulting in efficiency. This review presents the recent progress, perspectives, persistent challenges development g-C3N4-based materials. Several approaches employed to improve absorption materials including metal non-metal doping, co-doping, heterojunction engineering have been extensively discussed. These approaches, general, were found decrease material's bandgap, increase reduce charge carrier recombination, promote thereby enhancing overall performance. The material widely used for different applications such hydrogen production, water splitting, CO2 conversion, purification. work also identified various limitations weaknesses associated with hinders its maximum utilization under illumination presented state-of-the-art solutions reported recently. summary this would add an invaluable contribution photocatalysis research facilitate efficient light-responsive semiconducting

Published: Feb. 7, 2023

Developing highly efficient and stable photocatalysts for the CO2 reduction reaction (CO2 RR) remains a great challenge. We designed Z-Scheme photocatalyst with N-Cu1 -S single-atom electron bridge (denoted as Cu-SAEB), which was used to mediate RR. The production of CO O2 over Cu-SAEB is high 236.0 120.1 μmol g-1 h-1 in absence sacrificial agents, respectively, outperforming most previously reported photocatalysts. Notably, as-designed throughout 30 cycles, totaling 300 h, owing strengthened contact interface Cu-SAEB, mediated by atomic structure. Experimental theoretical calculations indicated that SAEB greatly promoted Z-scheme interfacial charge-transport process, thus leading enhancement photocatalytic RR Cu-SAEB.
