Construction of dual-channel for optimizing Z-scheme photocatalytic system

Beyond a solvent: the roles of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride in the acid-catalysis for cellulose depolymerisation

“…26 However, the chemical equilibrium NMP + H 2 SO 4 ⇌ [NMP]H + + HSO 4 – was proposed to account for scavenging the acid-catalyst, and therefore, for the low hydrolysis rates obtained at low χ IL . In fact, [NMP]H + shows p K a values between –0.92 (ref.…”

Effect of organic solvent and Brønsted acid on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural preparation from glucose over CrCl3

“…When an acidic IL was added, the absorbance of the unprotonated form of the indicator decreased. [13][14][15][16][17][18], interactions of CrCl 3 with glucose, DMA, and anion of ILs (Br, Cl) were compared. 6 28 So in our work, the structural and coordination properties of complexes formed upon the interaction of chromium(III) chlorides with solvent, ionic liquids and glucose were rst studied by density functional theory (DFT) calculations ( Table 3).…”

“…Furan derivatives, such as 5hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), are known as important intermediates for preparing ne chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastic resins, liquid transportation fuels, etc. 13 However, sucrose, starch and cellulose are more widely available raw materials for HMF production. Fructose, 3-6 glucose 7,8 and cellulose [9][10][11] have been used for the preparation of HMF successively.…”

Construction of a few-layer g-C3N4/α-MoO3 nanoneedles all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalytic system for photocatalytic degradation

“…Hence, it is difficult for a single photocatalyst to exhibit both satisfactory redox ability and wide range light response [12] . To optimize the photocatalysis technology, Z-scheme passageway between two different semiconductors has been developed [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . That is, the so-called all-solid-state Z-scheme photocatalyst system imitates the photosynthesis system in nature, where the photoelectrons in the more positive CB of the photocatalyst I (PC I) could achieve the recombination with the holes in the more negative VB of the photocatalyst II (PC II) in the solid-solid contact interface between the PC I and the PC II.…”
