Photocatalytic oxidation of p-xylene coupled with hydrogen evolution over MOFs-based bifunctional catalyst

Precise regulation of defect concentration in MOF and its influence on photocatalytic overall water splitting

“…PL spectroscopy can determine the recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes, and the low PL signal implies the low recombination rate. 48 As shown in Fig. 6d, the intensity of PL signal is ordered as: Cu-BDC-NBA (–NO 2 ) > Cu-BDC > Cu-BDC-BA (–H) > Cu-BDC-FBA (–CHO).…”

Photodeposited nickel-loaded ZnCdS nanoparticles for hydrogen production from photocatalytic water splitting

“…The conduction band position was calculated using the empirical equation ( E VB = E CB + E g ). 33 The valence band of ZnCdS(TS)/Ni-0.5H, ZnCdS(TS)/Ni-1H, ZnCdS(TS)/Ni-2H, ZnCdS(TS)/Ni-3H and ZnCdS(TS)/Ni-4H is calculated to be 1.822 eV, 1.86 eV, 1.706 eV, 1.92 eV and 1.812 eV, respectively.…”
