Zirconium–Porphyrin‐Based Metal–Organic Framework Hollow Nanotubes for Immobilization of Noble‐Metal Single Atoms

Single atoms immobilized on metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with unique nanostructures have drawn tremendous attention in the application of catalysis but remain a great challenge. Various single noble‐metal atoms have now been successfully anchored on the well‐defined anchoring sites of the zirconium porphyrin MOF hollow nanotubes, which are probed by aberration‐corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron‐radiation‐based X‐ray absorption fine‐structure spectroscopy. Owing to the hollow structure and excellent photoelectrochemical performance, the HNTM‐Ir/Pt exhibits outstanding catalytic activity in the visible‐light photocatalytic H₂ evolution via water splitting. The single atom immobilized on MOFs with hollow structures are expected to pave the way to expand the potential applications of MOFs.     

NiY分子筛的合成及在微生物电解池阴极的析氢性能研究

Molecularly engineered graphene surfaces for sensing applications: A review

Graphene is scientifically and commercially important because of its unique molecular structure which is monoatomic in thickness, rigorously two-dimensional and highly conjugated. Consequently, graphene exhibits exceptional electrical, optical, thermal and mechanical properties. Herein, we critically discuss the surface modification of graphene, the specific advantages that graphene-based materials can provide over other materials in sensor research and their related chemical and electrochemical properties. Furthermore, we describe the latest developments in the use of these materials for sensing technology, including chemical sensors and biosensors and their applications in security, environmental safety and diseases detection and diagnosis.     

Optimization of Hydrogen‐Evolving Photochemical Molecular Devices

A molecular photocatalyst consisting of a Ru^II photocenter, a tetrapyridophenazine bridging ligand, and a PtX₂ (X=Cl or I) moiety as the catalytic center functions as a stable system for light‐driven hydrogen production. The catalytic activity of this photochemical molecular device (PMD) is significantly enhanced by exchanging the terminal chlorides at the Pt center for iodide ligands. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy shows that the intramolecular photophysics are not affected by this change. Additionally, the general catalytic behavior, that is, instant hydrogen formation, a constant turnover frequency, and stability are maintained. Unlike as observed for the Pd analogue, the presence of excess halide does not affect the hydrogen generation capacity of the PMD. The highly improved catalytic efficiency is explained by an increased electron density at the Pt catalytic center, this is confirmed by DFT studies.     

One‐pot Synthesis of CdS Nanocrystals Hybridized with Single‐Layer Transition‐Metal Dichalcogenide Nanosheets for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Exploration of low‐cost and earth‐abundant photocatalysts for highly efficient solar photocatalytic water splitting is of great importance. Although transition‐metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) showed outstanding performance as co‐catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), designing TMD‐hybridized photocatalysts with abundant active sites for the HER still remains challenge. Here, a facile one‐pot wet‐chemical method is developed to prepare MS₂–CdS (M=W or Mo) nanohybrids. Surprisedly, in the obtained nanohybrids, single‐layer MS₂ nanosheets with lateral size of 4–10 nm selectively grow on the Cd‐rich (0001) surface of wurtzite CdS nanocrystals. These MS₂–CdS nanohybrids possess a large number of edge sites in the MS₂ layers, which are active sites for the HER. The photocatalytic performances of WS₂–CdS and MoS₂–CdS nanohybrids towards the HER under visible light irradiation (>420 nm) are about 16 and 12 times that of pure CdS, respectively. Importantly, the MS₂–CdS nanohybrids showed enhanced stability after a long‐time test (16 h), and 70 % of catalytic activity still remained.     

Photoelectrochemical Hydrogen Production in Alkaline Solutions Using Cu2O Coated with Earth‐Abundant Hydrogen Evolution Catalysts

The splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules using sunlight is an attractive method for solar energy storage. Until now, photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution is mostly studied in acidic solutions, in which the hydrogen evolution is more facile than in alkaline solutions. Herein, we report photoelectrochemical hydrogen production in alkaline solutions, which are more favorable than acidic solutions for the complementary oxygen evolution half‐reaction. We show for the first time that amorphous molybdenum sulfide is a highly active hydrogen evolution catalyst in basic medium. The amorphous molybdenum sulfide catalyst and a Ni–Mo catalyst are then deposited on surface‐protected cuprous oxide photocathodes to catalyze sunlight‐driven hydrogen production in 1 M KOH. The photocathodes give photocurrents of ?6.3 mA cm^?2 at the reversible hydrogen evolution potential, the highest yet reported for a metal oxide photocathode using an earth‐abundant hydrogen evolution reaction catalyst.     

碳酸氢盐活化的过氧化氢：一种有机废水处理的新技术

水污染问题已成为影响我国可持续发展的关键问题之一,为有效提高现有污水处理的效率及其回收利用,各种催化氧化技术受到了广泛的关注。目前发展的各类高级氧化技术在实际的应用过程中明显受到了氧化剂的利用率、催化剂的浸出、寿命及成本等问题的严重限制。因此基于新的理念、发展新的催化氧化技术仍然受到广泛的关注。
　　最近几年,利用碳酸氢盐活化过氧化氢,应用于有机废水的降解逐渐受到环境催化领域的关注。碳酸氢盐本身是一种低毒性、广泛存在于环境及生物体系的化学物质,通过它活化过氧化氢产生过碳酸氢盐氧化剂,该氧化剂能够直接氧化有机物。同时,在各种过渡金属催化剂的存在下,通过该过碳酸氢盐可以形成氧化能力更强的各种自由基(如羟基自由基等) 及高价态的过渡金属离子参与有机废水的降解。虽然传统认为碳酸盐及碳酸氢盐对高级氧化法降解有机废水不利,原因是认为它们能捕捉羟基自由基,形成氧化能力更低的碳酸根自由基。现有的研究已充分表明,较低浓度的碳酸氢盐能够加快有机废水的氧化降解,而且通常比单独使用过氧化氢效率更高,这些新的发现已明显突破了传统意义上对碳酸氢盐作用的理解。更为重要的是,在微量碳酸氢盐的存在下,其产生的微碱性环境极大地消除了负载型氧化物催化剂在废水降解过程中的金属离子流失、从而极大地延长了催化剂的寿命。该缺点是各种基于过渡金属氧化物催化剂的高级氧化技术难以广泛推广的关键性挑战,原因是随着氧化降解的进行,废水体系由于有机酸的生成而逐渐酸化,进而引发氧化物催化剂的酸溶而流失。在这点上,碳酸氢盐活化过氧化氢系统由于其天然的微碱性环境体现出了其明显的优势。
　　本文即是在本课题组工作基础上,对该领域内国内外研究进展加以总结,以期获得国内外同行的进一步关注。综述的主要内容包括：(1)碳酸氢氧活化过氧化氢的相关知识介绍,(2)均相碳酸氢氧活化过氧化氢降解有机废水的研究进展,(3)基于金属氧化物催化剂的碳酸氢氧活化过氧化氢降解有机废水的研究进展,和(4)碳酸氢盐在其他高级氧化技术中的应用。虽然基于碳酸氢氧活化过氧化氢降解有机废水的研究还处于早期探索阶段,还有很多基础科学问题如降解机理等值得进一步探索,期望通过该综述的介绍能够让同行对碳酸氢氧活化过氧化氢降解有机废水有一个比较全面的了解,进而推动该研究方向的发展,为有机废水的催化处理提供新的机会。
