Enhanced Selective Photooxidation of Toluene to Benzaldehyde over Co3O4‐Modified BiOBr/AgBr S‐Scheme Heterojunction

“…[5][6][7][8][9] In a typical thermal catalytic procedure, harsh conditions, including high temperature and pressure, as well as the addition of toxic and aggressive oxidation reagents, are required, thus causing poor product selectivity. [10][11][12] In contrast, semiconductor-based photocatalysis shows great potential to supersede the conversional thermocatalysis for breaking C─H bonds under mild conditions, which is a sustainable way by utilizing inexhaustible solar energy and green oxygen. [6,[13][14][15][16][17][18] The core of selective photooxidation is developing and exploiting the high-efficiency, cost-effective, and stable photocatalysis system.…”
