Two-Dimensional High-Entropy Selenides for Boosting Visible-Light-Driven Photocatalytic Performance

ACS Nano, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 18(31), P. 20740 - 20750

Published: July 23, 2024

High-entropy materials (HEMs) have garnered extensive attention owing to their diverse and captivating physicochemical properties. Yet, fine-tuning morphological properties of HEMs remains a formidable challenge, constraining potential applications. To address this, we present rapid, low-energy consumption diethylenetriamine (DETA)-assisted microwave hydrothermal method for synthesizing series two-dimensional high-entropy selenides (HESes). Subsequently, the obtained HESes are harnessed photocatalytic water splitting. Noteworthy is optimized HESes, Cd

ConspectusIn recent years, significant efforts have been directed toward achieving efficient and mild lignocellulosic biomass conversion into valuable chemicals fuels, aiming to address energy environmental concerns realize the goal of carbon neutrality. Lignin is one three primary building blocks lignocellulose only aromatic renewable feedstock. However, complex diverse nature lignin feedstocks, characterized by their three-dimensional, highly branched polymeric structure intricate C-O/C-C chemical bonds, results in substantial challenges. To tackle these challenges, we carried out extensive research on selectively activating transforming bonds for synthesis. In this Account, discuss our progress catalytic conversion.Our work focused two main objectives: (i) precise selective transformation (and its model compounds) (ii) fully utilizing nuclei side chains present produce chemicals. consists interconnected phenylpropanoid subunits linked interlaced C-C/C-O bonds. unlock full potential lignin, propose concept "the utilization lignin", which encompasses both (e.g., methoxyl polyhydroxypropyl groups).For nuclei, activation C-O and/or C-C crucial synthesizing targeted products. We begin with compounds (such as anisole, phenol, guaiacol, etc.) then transition protolignin feedstocks. Various reaction routes are developed, including self-supported hydrogenolysis, direct Caryl-Csp3 cleavage, coupled cleavage Caryl-O tandem hydrogenation hydrolysis processes. These tailored pathways enable high-yield sustainable production a wide range derived) products, arenes (benzene, toluene, alkylbenzenes), phenols, ketones, acids.In terms chain utilization, developed innovative strategies such methyl transfer, coupling depolymerization-methyl shift, acetyl new methods amine-assisted prefunctionalization. synthesis methyl-/alkyl-derived acetic acid, 4-ethyltoluene, dimethylethylamine, amides. Additionally, residues can be transformed or functionalized ingredients that serve catalysts functional biopolymer materials. findings highlight promising opportunities harnessing creative manner, thereby improving overall atom economy upgrading.Through catalyst engineering route strategies, achieves various from lignin.
