Organic terpyridine molecule as an efficient cocatalyst for metal–free CO2 photoreduction mediated by mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride

Molecular Terpyridine–Lanthanide Complexes Modified Carbon Nitride for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO2 Reduction

“…The N 1s XPS spectra of three samples are illustrated in Figure S2. The peaks at 398.7, 400.3, 401.2, and 404.2 eV correspond to the C–NC, N–(C) 3 , NH x , and π-excitation, respectively . There are also additional peaks at 406.6 eV for LutpyCN and CetpyCN, which are attributed to nitrate on terpyridine–lanthanide complexes .…”

Organic polymer facilitated CO2 photoreduction: a minireview

“…Chen et al integrated terpyridine as co-active sites to modify CN via the formation of covalent bonds. 79 The introduced terpyridine as an electron acceptor prolonged the lifetime of photogenerated electrons, thereby enhancing the efficiency of CO production. Ding et al prepared a core–shell photocatalyst from g-C 3 N 4 and melamine–resorcinol–formaldehyde (MRF) polymer via the formation of a covalent linkage (Fig.…”

Metal-free B4@g-C3N4: a potential electrocatalyst for highly selective and efficient conversion of CO to ethanol

“…[21][22][23] In general, g-C 3 N 4 is widely used as a metal-free photocatalyst to catalyze water splitting, CO 2 photoreduction to CO, bacterial disinfection, and organic pollutant degradation. [24][25][26][27][28] It's worth noting that this paper will explore the electrocatalytic performance of metal-free nanomaterials based on g-C 3 N 4 .…”
