Abstract:Synthesis of organic compounds often necessitates rigorous reaction conditions or the involvement of hazardous oxidants, resulting in substantial energy consumption and considerable environmental damage. Photocatalytic selective oxidation represents a green and environmentally friendly way to obtain high‐value chemicals, which has developed rapidly in recent years. Bismuth‐based (Bi‐based) semiconductor materials have gained intense interest in selective organic synthesis due to their diverse crystal structure… Show more
“…Bismuth oxide (Bi 2 O 3 ) has been the subject of much research in the field of semiconductor photocatalysis because the weak Bi–O bond in Bi 2 O 3 favours oxygen vacancy (OV) generation. 5,6 The OVs generated on the Bi 2 O 3 surface are very advantageous for the activation of very inert CO 2 and H 2 O molecules. 7 There have been many reports using Bi 2 O 3 for the photocatalytic CO 2 reduction reaction (CO 2 RR), 8,9 but the problem of carrier recombination is serious and the photogenerated electron transfer efficiency remains very low.…”
Constructing frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) on catalysts will provide catalytic sites to activate CO2 and boost photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Herein, a Ce-doped bismuth oxide (CeBiOX) with FLPs was designed by...
