Electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide into value-added chemical fuels is a promising way to achieve neutrality. Bismuth-based materials have been considered as favorable electrocatalysts for converting formic acid. Moreover, size-dependent catalysis offers significant advantages in catalyzed heterogeneous processes. However, the size effects bismuth nanoparticles on acid production not fully explored. Here, we prepared Bi uniformly supported porous TiO2 substrate electrocatalytic by situ segregation element from Bi4Ti3O12. The Bi-TiO2 electrocatalyst with 2.83 nm displays Faradaic efficiency greater than 90% over wide potential range 400 mV. Theoretical calculations also demonstrated subtle electronic structural evolutions induced variations nanoparticles, where display most active p-band and d-band centers guarantee high electroactivity toward CO2RR.

Photoredox catalysis typically relies on the use of single chromophores, whereas strategies, in which two different light absorbers are combined, rare. In photosystems I and II green plants, separate chromophores P680 P700 both absorb independently one another, then their excitation energy is combined so-called Z-scheme, to drive an overall reaction that thermodynamically very demanding. Here, we adapt this concept perform photoredox reactions organic substrates with input red photons instead blue or UV light. Specifically, a CuI bis(α-diimine) complex combination situ formed 9,10-dicyanoanthracenyl radical anion presence excess diisopropylethylamine catalyzes ca. 50 dehalogenation detosylation reactions. This dual approach seems useful because less damaging has greater penetration depth than radiation. UV-vis transient absorption spectroscopy reveals subtle change solvent from acetonitrile acetone induces changeover mechanism, involving either dominant photoinduced electron transfer triplet-triplet pathway. Our study illustrates mechanistic complexity systems operating under multiphotonic conditions, it provides insights into how competition between desirable unwanted steps can become more controllable.
