Molecular confined synthesis of magnetic CoOx/Co/C hybrid catalyst for photocatalytic water oxidation and CO2 reduction

Unleashing the power of directed electron transfer: unraveling the potential of {PV4}2 in heterogeneous photocatalysis

“…The TRPL of [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ + {PV 4 } 2 was 6.31 µs, which was shorter than that of [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ + V 2 O 5 (6.61 µs), indicating a faster electron transfer rate between [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ and {PV 4 } 2 . 38,39 Without [Ru(bpy) 3 ] 2+ , {PV 4 } 2 still had a higher catalytic effect than V 2 O 5 (Fig. S15 †).…”

Prussian blue analogue-derived materials for photocatalysis

“…At present, the commonly used photosensitizers are eosin Y (EY) and its analogues, tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium( iii ) (RuBpy) and its analogues, porphyrins and phthalocyanines. 74–80 Most of them are directly added to photocatalytic systems, while some of them are grafted onto semiconductor materials. In some cases, photocatalysts are composed of photosensitizers.…”

“…In this process, a hole will be generated, which can move to the surface of photocatalysts to drive oxidation reactions. 78–80 However, the high cost of RuBpy hinders its wide use in photocatalytic systems, and it is only widely used in the water oxidation process.…”
