Rational Design and Application of Covalent Organic Frameworks for Solar Fuel Production

Harnessing solar energy and converting it into renewable fuels by chemical processes, such as water splitting and carbon dioxide (CO₂) reduction, is a highly promising yet challenging strategy to mitigate the effects arising from the global energy crisis and serious environmental concerns. In recent years, covalent organic framework (COF)-based materials have gained substantial research interest because of their diversified architecture, tunable composition, large surface area, and high thermal and chemical stability.

2D Catalysts for CO2 Photoreduction: Discussing Structure Efficiency Strategies and Prospects for Scaled Production Based on Current Progress

Currently, the excessive consumption of fossil fuels is accompanied by massive emissions of CO₂, leading to severe energy shortages and intensified global warming. It is of great significance to develop and use renewable clean energy while reducing the concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere. Photocatalytic technology is a promising strategy for carbon dioxide conversion. Clearly, the achievement of the above goals largely depends on the design and construction of catalysts.

Development of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> photocatalysts suitable for practical use and their applications in environmental cleanup

Recently, environmental disruption is proceeding on a global scale through the consumption of huge amounts of fossil fuels and the emission of various chemical substances. However, these substances resist bio-treatment. TiO₂ generates electrons and holes by irradiation with light. Most organic micro-pollutants, including dioxins, are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by the effect of the holes with high oxidative potential. By using such a photocatalytic reaction, various applications are feasible for environmental cleanup. In general, TiO₂ powder has been utilized as photocatalyst, although TiO₂ powder photocatalyst has several disadvantages: (1) it is difficult to handle, (2) photocatalytic reaction is slow and it takes a lot of time for treatment and (3) it is difficult to apply to plastics and textiles, because the photocatalyst decomposes them. We have developed a photocatalyst suitable for practical use and have developed high-activity photocatalysts such as TiO₂ photocatalytic transparent film, photocatalytic silica-gel, apatite-coated TiO₂ photocatalyst usable for plastics and textiles, photocatalytic paper, photocatalytic blue charcoal and photocatalytic oxygen scavenger. The application of these high-activity photocatalysts has been studied in deodorization, anti-bacterial, self-cleaning, anti-stain, water treatment, air purification such as photocatalytic decomposition of dioxins and VOC, and NO _x removal. Now various photocatalytic articles using these new photocatalyst materials are on the market in Japan. Photocatalytic technology can create many valuable products for environmental use all over the world.
