Efficient sunlight promoted nitrogen fixation from air under room temperature and ambient pressure via Ti/Mo composites

2D boron nitride supported Cu2O promotes photocatalytic nitrogen fixation at normal temperature and pressure

“…For Cu 2 O and BN, the band gap energy ( E g ) was calculated using the Kubelka–Munk function and the following formula. 31,32 αhν = k ( hν − E g ) n /2 Cu 2 O and BN are both indirect semiconductors, and their n value is 4. It can be seen from Fig.…”

“…For Cu 2 O and BN, the band gap energy (E g ) was calculated using the Kubelka-Munk function and the following formula. 31,32 In order to further verify the oxygen vacancy content of the samples, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was performed. As shown in Fig.…”

Recent advances in tunable metal–support interactions for enhancing the photocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction

“…65,66 Nevertheless, its nitrogen fixation activity is still low due to poor visible light absorption in the available reports. 67 Hence, many researchers expect to design TiO 2 -based catalysts with tunable MSI to optimize their electronic structure, thus enhancing the nitrogen fixation efficiency.…”

The construction of a vanadium-doped polysulfide iron bimetallic active center for enhanced photocatalytic nitrogen fixation

“…As a result, nitrogenase is an excellent source of inspiration for designing NRR-active catalysts. [10][11][12][13] Among the various catalysts used for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation, carbon nitride, a non-metallic catalyst, has been studied by many scientists because of its low cost, nonpolluting nature, suitable energy band position and narrow band gap. [14][15][16] The main benefits of carbon nitride materials are their remarkable electronic, optical, and physicochemical properties, as well as their chemical stability and ease of synthesis.…”
