Progress in graphdiyne and phosphorene based composites and heterostructures as new age materials for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution

Flatland materials for photochemical and electrochemical nitrogen fixation applications: from lab-door experiments to large-scale applicability

“…Phosphorene has gained significant research interest owing to its unusual physicochemical properties, such as its higher specific surface area, and its peculiar electronic properties that favour its energy conversion applications. 109 The effectiveness of phosphorene materials in the photochemical NRR application is supported by its recent reports. Wang et al 110 designed the unique non-metallic B-decorated phosphorene (BP) photocatalytic system for investigating its photochemical NRR performance.…”

Recent Advances in Poly‐Heptazine Imide and Based Materials for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

“…Accordingly, the efficient separation of light-driven charges, the swift transfer of these to ground spots without recombination and the ground catalytic examination of adsorbed species with light-active charges to produce H 2 and O 2 are key stages that quantify the visible-light enabled photocatalytic performance. [46] The redox reactions that take place in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution process are given below [47] and the mechanism is shown in Figure 3:…”

Promoting CO2 electroreduction to CO by a graphdiyne-stabilized Au nanoparticle catalyst

“…11–13 In addition, due to its highly π-conjugated structure, large surface area, evenly distributed pores, good chemical stability, and excellent electron conductivity, GDY has shown great prospects in the fields of batteries, 14–18 optoelectronic devices 19–23 and electrocatalysis. 24–31 More importantly, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, there is a strong d–π electron interaction between the GDY substrate and metal catalysts. 32 It has been proved that this interaction can effectively stabilize metal single atoms or clusters and regulate the electronic structure of catalysts, thereby significantly improving catalytic performance.…”
