CdS(ZB)/CdS(WZ)/Ni-BTC photocatalytic selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde coupled with hydrogen evolution

Efficient photocatalytic hydrogen evolution coupled with benzaldehyde production over 0D Cd0.5Zn0.5S/2D Ti3C2 Schottky heterojunction

“…However, the single-end hydrogen evolution reaction can bring about an inefficient utilization of photogenerated holes. To address this issue, the holes generated at the other end can be utilized to transform alcohols into aldehydes, such as benzaldehyde [15][16][17][18]. In particular, the separation of photogenerated carriers can be accelerated by the synergistic effect, and meanwhile, the production of aldehydes can reduce the Gibbs free energy of H 2 evolution [19,20].…”

Precise regulation of defect concentration in MOF and its influence on photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…[8][9][10] The three major steps of the photocatalytic water splitting process can be summarized as light absorption, charge separation and surface reactions for H 2 or O 2 evolution. 11 Therefore, the following aspects must be considered when designing the photocatalysts for photocatalytic water splitting: (1) the bandgap of photocatalysts. The proper bandgap energy in photocatalysts is particularly important for improving the util-ization of solar energy.…”

Selective photocatalytic oxidation of cyclohexene coupled with hydrogen evolution from water splitting over Ni/NiO/CdS and mechanism insight

“…In addition, the characteristic peaks of CdS located at 26.4°, 43.9°, and 51.9° can be clearly seen in the Ni/NiO/CdS-2 pattern, which match with the cubic crystals of CdS (PDF #89-0440) and correspond to the (111), (220) and (311) planes, respectively. 30 Fig. 1b shows the XRD comparisons of Ni/NiO/CdS- x ( x = 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8).…”

“…28,29 Our previous work found that Ni-BTC/CdS has good catalytic performance in the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol. 30 In addition, the carbonized MOF has been proved to have better catalytic activity, because it not only maintains the frame structure, but also has good stability. 31 Herein, Ni/NiO was obtained by calcination of Ni-BTC as a precursor, which was then composited with CdS to form Ni/ NiO/CdS nanomaterials for the photocatalytic oxidation of cyclohexene coupled with the hydrogen evolution reaction.…”
