稀土纳米材料在光催化二氧化碳还原中的应用

光催化二氧化碳还原反应(光催化CO₂RR)是将惰性CO₂转化为高价值化学品的最具前景的策略之一。光催化CO₂RR的成功取决于高效催化剂的使用,尽管目前已取得相当的进展,但光催化过程仍面临着光电效应弱和光生载流子易复合等问题,严重制约了CO₂还原的效率。稀土离子具有独特的f电子结构和尤其丰富的电子能级,可作为光生电子的“储存器”并兼具抑制光生载流子复合的功能,因此电子能更有效地用于CO₂RR。镧系金属离子的强亲氧性和高配位需求,使其易于掺杂进其他氧化物半导体的晶格中,不仅能够稳定半导体复合物的晶相,而且能够有效地调控氧空位的浓度,从而实现半导体光催化剂性能调控和优化。此外,镧系金属亦能以原子级分散方式吸附在半导体表面或实现体相掺杂,直接作为活性位点提升光生电子的传递与利用。本文总结和探讨了稀土纳米材料在光催化CO₂RR反应中的不同作用形式,从包括单(纯)稀土半导体材料、负载助催化剂的稀土半导体材料、掺杂稀土半导体材料和稀土半导体-其他半导体的复合材料等四方面...

Copper-Sulfur-Nitrogen Cluster Providing a Local Proton for Efficient Carbon Dioxide Photoreduction

Atomically precise Cu clusters are highly desirable as catalysts for CO₂ reduction reaction (CO₂RR), and they provide an appropriate model platform for elaborating their structure–activity relationship. However, an efficient overall photocatalytic CO₂RR with H₂O using assembled Cu-cluster aggregates as single component photocatalyst has not been reported. Herein, we report a stable crystalline Cu−S−N cluster photocatalyst with local protonated N−H groups (denoted as Cu₆−NH ). The catalyst exhibits suitable photocatalytic redox potentials, high structural stability, active catalytic species, and a narrow band gap, which account for its outstanding photocatalytic CO₂RR performance under visible light, with ≈100 % selectivity for CO evolution. Remarkably, systematic isostructural Cu-cluster control experiments, in situ infrared spectroscopy, and density functional theory calculations revealed that the protonated pyrimidine N atoms in the Cu₆−NH cluster act as a proton relay station, providing a local proton during the photocatalytic CO₂RR. This efficiently lowers the energy barrier for the formation of the *COOH intermediate, which is the rate-limiting step, efficiently enhancing the photocatalytic performance. This work lays the foundation for the development of atomically precise metal-cluster-based photocatalysts.     

Catalysis of Carbon Dioxide Photoreduction on Nanosheets: Fundamentals and Challenges

The transformation of CO₂ into fuels and chemicals by photocatalysis is a promising strategy to provide a long‐term solution to mitigating global warming and energy‐supply problems. Achievements in photocatalysis during the last decade have sparked increased interest in using sunlight to reduce CO₂. Traditional semiconductors used in photocatalysis (e.g. TiO₂) are not suitable for use in natural sunlight and their performance is not sufficient even under UV irradiation. Some two‐dimensional (2D) materials have recently been designed for the catalytic reduction of CO₂. These materials still require significant modification, which is a challenge when designing a photocatalytic process. An overarching aim of this Review is to summarize the literature on the photocatalytic conversion of CO₂ by various 2D materials in the liquid phase, with special attention given to the development of novel 2D photocatalyst materials to provide a basis for improved materials.     

Cobalt-Porphyrin-Based Covalent Organic Frameworks with Donor-Acceptor Units as Photocatalysts for Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as a promising platform for photocatalysts. Their crystalline porous nature allows comprehensive mechanistic studies of photocatalysis, which have revealed that their general photophysical parameters, such as light absorption ability, electronic band structure, and charge separation efficiency, can be conveniently tailored by structural modifications. However, further understanding of the relationship between structure-property-activity is required from the viewpoint of charge-carrier transport, because the charge-carrier property is closely related to alleviation of the excitonic effect. In the present study, COFs composed of a fixed cobalt (Co) porphyrin (Por) centered tetraamine as an acceptor unit with differently conjugated di-carbaldehyde based donor units, such as benzodithiophene (BDT), thienothiophene (TT), or phenyl (TA), were synthesized to form Co-Por-BDT, Co-Por-TT, or Co-Por-TA, respectively. Their photocatalytic activity for reducing carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide was in the order of Co-Por-BDT>Co-Por-TT>Co-Por-TA. The results indicated that the excitonic effect, associated with their charge-carrier densities and π-conjugation lengths, was a significant factor in photocatalysis performance.

二氧化钛基Z型异质结光催化剂

二氧化钛(TiO_2)因廉价、无毒、化学性质稳定以及具有较强的光催化氧化还原能力,在光催化领域占据着重要的地位。然而,可见光利用率低以及光生电子-空穴对的快速复合是限制其应用的2个主要因素。二氧化钛基Z型异质结作为一种新型光催化剂,既改善了二氧化钛的2个缺陷,又表现出比TiO_2更强的氧化或还原能力。本文概括了TiO_2光催化剂、异质结光催化剂和TiO_2基Z型光催化剂的能带排列和电子传递原则,探讨了Z型异质结和type-Ⅱ异质结的异同点以及区分方法,并归纳总结了TiO_2基Z型异质结在光催化领域中的应用。     

Singlet-Triplet Energy Inversion in Carbon Nitride Photocatalysts

Time-resolved EPR (TR-EPR) demonstrates the formation of well-defined spin triplet excitons in carbon nitride. This permits to experimentally probe the extent of the triplet wavefunction which delocalizes over several tri-s-triazine units. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the TR-EPR signal reveals the mobility of the triplet excitons. By employing monochromatic light excitation in the range 430–600 nm, the energy of the spin triplet is estimated to be ≈0.2 eV above the conduction band edge, proving that the triplet exciton lies above the corresponding singlet. Comparison between amorphous and graphitic forms establishes the singlet-triplet inversion as a general feature of carbon nitride materials.     

Dual Lewis Acid-Base Sites Regulate Silver-Copper Bimetallic Oxide Nanowires for Highly Selective Photoreduction of Carbon Dioxide to Methane

Highly selective photoreduction of CO₂ to valuable hydrocarbons is of great importance to achieving a carbon-neutral society. Precisely manipulating the formation of the Metal₁⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅Metal₂ (M₁⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M₂) intermediate on the photocatalyst interface is the most critical step for regulating selectivity, while still a significant challenge. Herein, inspired by the polar electronic structure feature of CO₂ molecule, we propose a strategy whereby the Lewis acid-base dual sites confined in a bimetallic catalyst surface are conducive to forming a M₁⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M₂ intermediate precisely, which can promote selectivity to hydrocarbon formation. Employing the Ag₂Cu₂O₃ nanowires with abundant Cu⋅⋅⋅Ag Lewis acid-base dual sites on the preferred exposed {110} surface as a model catalyst, 100 % selectivity toward photoreduction of CO₂ into CH₄ has been achieved. Subsequent surface-quenching experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verify that the Cu⋅⋅⋅Ag Lewis acid-base dual sites do play a vital role in regulating the M₁⋅⋅⋅C=O⋅⋅⋅M₂ intermediate formation that is considered to be prone to convert CO₂ into hydrocarbons. This study reports a highly selective CO₂ photocatalyst, which was designed on the basis of a newly proposed theory for precise regulation of reaction intermediates. Our findings will stimulate further research on dual-site catalyst design for CO₂ reduction to hydrocarbons.     

Enhancement of Mass and Charge Transfer during Carbon Dioxide Photoreduction by Enhanced Surface Hydrophobicity without a Barrier Layer

The CO₂ reduction reaction (CRR) represents a promising route for the clean utilization of renewable resources. But mass-transfer limitations seriously hinder the forward step. Enhancing the surface hydrophobicity by using polymers has been proved to be one of the most efficient strategies. However, as macromolecular organics, polymers on the surface hinder the transfer of charge carriers from catalysts to reactants. Herein, we describe an in-situ surface fluorination strategy to enhance the surface hydrophobicity of TiO₂ without a barrier layer of organics, thus facilitating the mass transfer of CO₂ to catalysts and charge transfer. With less obstruction to charge transfer, a higher CO_2, and lower H⁺ surface concentration, the photocatalytic CRR generation rate of methanol (CH₃OH) is greatly enhanced to up to 247.15 μmol g⁻¹ h⁻¹. Furthermore, we investigated the overall defects; enhancing the surface hydrophobicity of catalysts provides a general and reliable method to improve the competitiveness of CRR.
