Enhancing mechanism of electron-deficient p states on photocatalytic activity of g-C₃N₄ for CO₂ reduction

Abstract

We reveal the mechanism through which electron-deficient p states enhance the photocatalytic properties of g-C3N4 for CO2 reduction.

Realizing a high OER activity in new single-atom catalysts formed by introducing TMNx (x = 3 and 4) units into carbon nanotubes using high-throughput calculations

“…This temperature has been widely accepted for evaluating thermal stability. 71–74 It was found that after 5000 fs, they could still maintain structural integrity, and their average potential energy remained almost unchanged, indicating their high thermal stabilities. Moreover, we also investigated the electronic behavior of these eight structures by calculating their density of states (DOSs).…”

Construction of a heterojunction with fast charge transport channels for photocatalytic hydrogen evolutionviaa synergistic strategy of Co-doping and crystal plane modulation

“…Multiple absorption peaks between 1200 and 1660 cm −1 are assigned to the C–N heterocyclic vibrations in the aromatic backbone. 44 Broad peaks within 3000–3500 cm −1 are associated with surface-NH 2 and -OH free stretching. Co-C 3 N 4 exhibits a similar spectrum to C 3 N 4 , which means that the effect of Co doping on the molecular structure is insignificant.…”

“…At present, the global use of fossil fuels is experiencing exploding growth . The large amount of greenhouse gas CO 2 emitted into the atmosphere from combustion products has caused a very serious greenhouse effect, − and the consequent increase in global temperature, soil acidification, global climate deterioration, and other environmental temperatures has seriously infringed on human life. − Therefore, mitigating the greenhouse effect and achieving carbon neutral development have become a critical scientific issue that needs to be addressed urgently. , …”
