Published: Nov. 6, 2023

Photocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction to produce high-value hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is gaining popularity as a promising avenue of research. However, structural evolution mechanisms catalytically active sites in the entire photosynthetic H2O2 system remains unclear and seriously hinders development highly-active stable photocatalysts. Herein, we report high-loading Ni single-atom photocatalyst for efficient synthesis pure water, achieving an apparent quantum yield 10.9% at 420 nm solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency 0.82%. Importantly, using situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy Raman directly observe that initial Ni-N3 dynamically transform into high-valent O1-Ni-N2 after O2 adsorption further evolve form key *OOH intermediate before finally forming HOO-Ni-N2. Theoretical calculations experiments reveal structure reduces formation energy barrier suppresses O=O bond dissociation, leading improved production activity selectivity.

Regulating Relative Nitrogen Locations of Diazine Functionalized Covalent Organic Frameworks for Overall H₂O₂ Photosynthesis

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(41)

Published: Aug. 26, 2023

Nitrogen-heterocycle-based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are considered promising candidates for the overall photosynthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). However, effects relative nitrogen locations remain obscured and photocatalytic performances COFs need to be further improved. Herein, a collection functionalized by various diazines including pyridazine, pyrimidine, pyrazine have been judiciously designed synthesized photogeneration H2 without sacrificial agents. Compared with pyrimidine pyrazine, pyridazine embedded in TpDz tends stabilize endoperoxide intermediate species, leading toward more efficient direct 2e- oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) pathway. Benefiting from effective electron-hole separation, low charge transfer resistance, high-efficiency ORR pathway, an excellent production rate 7327 μmol g-1 h-1 solar-to-chemical conversion (SCC) value 0.62 % has achieved TpDz, which ranks one best COF-based photocatalysts. This work might shed fresh light on rational design functional targeting photocatalysts production.
