Cu-based S-scheme photocatalysts

Chemical Society Reviews, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

S-scheme heterojunctions have become a hot topic in photocatalysis. Copper (Cu) compounds are versatile family of photocatalytic materials, including oxides (CuO, Cu2O), binary (CuBi2O4, CuFe2O4), sulfides (CuxS, (1 ≤ x 2)), selenides (CuSe), phosphides (Cu3P), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), etc. These materials characterized by narrow bandgaps, large absorption coefficients, and suitable band positions. To further increase the efficiency photoinduced charge separation, Cu-based widely integrated into exploited for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), CO2 reduction, H2O2 generation, N2 fixation, pollutant degradation. This review comprehensively discusses recent progress heterojunctions, highlights their considerable potential targeted applications sustainable energy conversion, environmental remediation, beyond. The fundamentals transfer, design principles verification tools summarized. Then, describes categorized according to chemical composition, integration applications. In particular, implications transfer mechanism on promoting catalytic activity selected systems analyzed. Finally, current limitations outlooks provided motivate future studies developing novel advanced photocatalysts with high performance studying underlying mechanisms.

Published: Jan. 20, 2025

Abstract Gold catalysts are extensively utilized in photothermal processes that rely on localized surface plasmon resonance effects. However, the development of novel gold(I)‐organic frameworks function as highly efficient for production hydrogen peroxide from water and oxygen presents a fascinating challenging research opportunity. Herein, three gold(I) cyclic trinuclear complexes (Au‐CTCs) based metal–organic (MOFs) prepared, exhibiting good conversion efficiency H 2 O evolution rates. Utilizing optimized Au‐TFPT, rates H₂O₂ can reach high 51,987 µ m g⁻¹ h⁻¹, surpassing performance most reported (MOFs), even with use sacrificial agents to accelerate reaction. The thermal‐assisted photocatalytic mechanism is comprehensively studied by transient photocurrent response, electrochemical impedance, electron paramagnetic resonance, rotating ring disk electrode test, catalytic among others, demonstrating thermal energy enhance mobility photogenerated carriers apparent quantum yield, regulate reactive species ratio selectivity, reduce activation photocatalysis, improve mass transfer rates, thereby accelerating reaction process. This study offers new insights into .

Minimizing Energy Demand in the Conversion of Levulinic Acid to γ‑Valerolactone via Photothermal Catalysis Using Raney Ni

Advanced Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 17, 2025

Abstract The valorization of lignocellulosic wastes emerges as a prime strategy to mitigate the global carbon footprint. Among multiple biomass derivatives, γ‐valerolactone is particularly attractive precursor high‐value chemicals, biofuel, green solvent or perfumery. γ‐Valerolactone can be synthesized through hydrogenation reaction from levulinic acid, obtained cellulose. However, high energy requirements this synthetic pathway have hindered its industrial viability. To drastically reduce requirements, here novel strategy, based on solvothermal‐photothermal processes using cost‐effective Raney‐Ni photothermal catalyst, proposed. First, use hydrogen gas avoided by selecting isopropanol safer and greener H‐source. Second, photothermocatalytic process used minimize temperature time with respect conventional reactions. This approach exploits broadband optical absorption Raney®‐Ni, due highly damped plasmonic behavior, achieve fast efficient catalyst heating inside reactor. required less than 2 h just 132 °C reach over 95% conversion, thereby reducing consumption compared Importantly, these conditions granted reusability. could offer sustainable alternative for production γ‐valerolactone.
