Tuning the exposure of BiVO₄-{010} facets to enhance the N₂ photofixation performance

Abstract

Effective separation of photoexcited carriers and chemisorption of the N2 molecule are two key issues to efficient nitrogen photofixation.

A bioinspired floatable system with a 3D sandwich-type triphase interface for highly efficient nitrogen fixation

“…It is clear that BiVO 4 shows two distinct sets of lattice fringes with their interplanar lattice spacings of 0.466 and 0.293 nm, respectively, corresponding to the (011) and (004) crystallographic planes of monoclinic BiVO 4 . 60,61 We obtained the corresponding energy dispersive Xray (EDX) elemental mapping images to further corroborate the elemental composition and dispersion degree of the BiVO 4 @-PDMS@MS-b (Fig. 1i-n) and BiVO 4 @MS-l surfaces (Fig.…”
