In situ preparation of MOF-derived Fe₂O₃ nanorods for visible-light-driven oxygen evolution

Abstract

Fe2O3 nanorods were in situ synthesized in ambient air at room temperature by oxidation of Fe-based MOFs, which possess a high photocurrent density up to 0.11 mA cm−2 and exhibit an outstanding oxygen evolution rate efficiency of 55.2 μmol g−1 h−1.

Photocatalytic ethene synthesis from ethane dehydrogenation with high selectivity by ZnO-supported Pt nanoparticles

“…4f). 59–61 The above outcomes authenticate that Pt/ZnO empowers improved separation and migration of photoinduced charge carriers, and therefore enabling the superior photocatalytic performance.…”

Design of TiO2@Carbon@Prussian Blue Core–Shell Nanorod Arrays for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Performance

“…Among these semiconductor materials, TiO 2 is endowed with the advantages of high stability, , low price, − and high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and has received extensive academic attention. Nonetheless, the substantial recombination rate of photogenerated electron–hole pairs, abbreviated charge carrier lifetime, and narrow absorption range significantly limit its wide application in PEC water splitting. − Therefore, enhancing visible light utilization and suppressing the recombination of photogenerated carriers are the common ways to enhance the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 . Hence, nanostructure engineering, element doping, and formation of heterojunction have been tried to suppress the carrier recombination rate, improve charge transport, and enhance the photocatalytic performance of TiO 2 .…”
