Highly selective photocatalytic CO 2 reduction into C 2H 4 enabled by metal-organic framework-derived catalysts with high Cu + content. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 677:872-881. [PMID: 39173519 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.08.114] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 08/02/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024]
Abstract
The highly selective conversion of CO2 into valuable C2H4 is a highly important but particularly challenging reaction. Herein, the metal-organic frameworks MOF-74(Cu) with infinite Cu(II)-O chains and Cu-BTC (BTC=benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate) with paddle-wheel binuclear Cu(II) clusters are used as precursors. These MOFs are reduced by NaBH4 to obtain Cu0/Cuδ+-based photocatalysts denoted as R-MOF-74(Cu) and R-Cu-BTC, respectively. Significantly, R-MOF-74(Cu) achieves a high selectivity of 90.2 % for C2H4 with a yield rate of 6.5 μmol g-1 within 5 h due to its high Cu+ content. To the best of our knowledge, this C2H4 product selectivity is a record high among all the photocatalysts reported so far for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. In contrast, R-Cu-BTC only forms CO as a product with a cumulative yield of 0.7 μmol g-1 within 5 h. Photoelectrochemical characterization and electron paramagnetic resonance results show that R-MOF-74(Cu) has low interfacial transfer resistance, high photogenerated electron separation efficiency, and excellent CO2 activation and water oxidation performance. In addition, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the possible reaction pathway from CO2 to C2H4 over R-MOF-74(Cu). This work demonstrates the great potential of MOF-derived photocatalysts for the conversion of CO2 into C2H4 and provides guidance for future photocatalyst development.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction is a tactic for solving the environmental pollution caused by greenhouse gases. Herein, NH4H2PO4 was added as a phosphorus source in the process of the hydrothermal treatment of melamine for the first time, and phosphorus-doped hollow tubular g-C3N4 (x-P-HCN) was fabricated and used for photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Here, 1.0-P-HCN exhibited the largest CO production rate of 9.00 μmol·g-1·h-1, which was 10.22 times higher than that of bulk g-C3N4. After doping with phosphorus, the light absorption range, the CO2 adsorption capacity, and the specific surface area of the 1.0-P-HCN sample were greatly improved. In addition, the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs was enhanced. Furthermore, the phosphorus-doped g-C3N4 effectively activated the CO2 adsorbed on the surface of phosphorus-doped g-C3N4 photocatalysts, which greatly enhanced the CO production rate of photocatalytic CO2 reduction over that of g-C3N4.

Abstract
A photocatalytic system driven by solar light is one of the promising strategies for converting CO2 into valuable energy. The reduction of CO2 to CH4 is widely studied since CH4 has a high energy density as the main component of nonrenewable natural gas. Therefore, it is necessary to develop semiconductor materials with high photocatalytic activity and CH4 selectivity. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4/CN) has attracted widespread attention for photocatalytic CO2 reduction due to its excellent redox ability and visible light response. A hybrid system constructed by loading cocatalysts on g-C3N4 can significantly improve the yield of target products, and serve as a general platform to explore the mechanism of the CO2 reduction reaction. Herein, we briefly introduce the theory of selective CO2 photoreduction and the basic properties of cocatalysts. Then, several typical configurations and modification strategies of cocatalyst/CN systems for promoting CH4 selective production are presented in detail. In particular, we systematically summarize the application of cocatalyst/CN composite photocatalysts in the selective reduction of CO2 to methane, according to the classification of cocatalysts (monometal, bimetal, metal-based compound, and nanocarbon materials). Finally, the challenges and perspectives for developing cocatalyst/g-C3N4 systems with high CH4 selectivity are presented to guide the rational design of catalysts with high performance in the future.

Abstract
A novel Bi@BiOx(OH)y-modified oxidized g-C3N4 photocatalyst was successfully prepared via wet chemical reduction under alkaline conditions for the tetracycline hydrochloride removal. The prepared materials were characterized comprehensively and fully. Sufficient structural representation analyses confirmed the successful loading of Bi in the form of Bi@BiOx(OH)y complex beads. Based on basic photocatalytic studies, 10% (mass percentage) was found to be the best metal Bi loading. DRS, PL, transient photocurrent and EIS have explored the improvement of the photochemical properties of materials by loading Bi@BiOx(OH)y groups, particularly the improvement of photocatalytic properties by the SPR effect and electron traps. 10%Bi-OxCN exhibited the most suitable particle size of nonagglomerated Bi-metal groups, the largest specific surface area (43.53 m2 g-1), the most adsorption sites and the most significant photocurrent (8.694 × 10-2 mA cm-2) (7.78 times that of OxCN). This indicated that 10%Bi-OxCN had good adsorption capacity and excellent light response capability. In addition, 10%Bi-OxCN showed the best tetracycline hydrochloride removal efficiency (96.0%), with ∙O2- as the main active substance and 1O2 as the second most important substance made of ∙O2- and h+. The excellent photocatalytic effect and good reusability were fundamentally dependent on the modification of OxCN by Bi@BiOx(OH)y groups to produce a large number of active substances (including the separation efficiency of electron-hole pairs and the generation efficiency of ∙O2- and 1O2). These advantages are all related to the high specific surface area, a large number of active sites, narrow bandgap width, Bi-SPR effect, and BiOx(OH)y electron trap caused by successful loading of Bi groups.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction to produce value-added products is considered a promising solution to solve the global energy crisis and the greenhouse effect. In this study, Ti3CN MXene was synthesized using a Lewis acidic etching method without the usage of toxic hydrofluoric acid (HF). Ti3CN MXene was then used as a support for the in situ hydrothermal growth of TiO2 and Ru nanoparticles. In the presence of 0.5 wt% Ru, Ru-Ti3CN-TiO2 shows CO and CH4 production rates of 99.58 and 8.97 μmol/g, respectively, in 5 h under Xenon lamp irradiation, more than 20.5 and 9.3 times that of commercial P25. The enhancement in photocatalytic activity was attributed to the synergy between the in-situ growth of TiO2 on Ti3CN MXene and Ru nanoparticles. It was proven experimentally that Ti3CN MXene can provide abundant pathways for electron transfer. The separation and transfer of the photo-induced charge were further increased with the help of Ru and Ti3CN MXene, leaving more electrons to participate in the subsequent CO2 reduction reaction. We believe that this work will encourage more attention to designing environment-friendly MXene-based photocatalysts for CO2 photoreduction using the non-HF method.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into gaseous hydrocarbon fuels is an auspicious way to produce renewable fuels in addition to greenhouse gas emission mitigation. In this work, non-metals (B, O, P, and S) doped graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) was prepared via solid-state polycondensation of urea for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into highly needed methane (CH4) with water under UV light irradiation. The various physicochemical characterization results reveal the successful incorporation of B, O, P, and S elements in the g-C3N4 matrix. The maximum CH4 yield of 55.10 nmol/(mLH2O.gcat) over S-doped g-C3N4 has been obtained for CO2 reduction after 7 h of irradiation. This amount of CH4 production was 1.9, 1.4, 1.7, and 2.4-folds higher than B, O, P and bare g-C3N4 samples. The doping of S did not enlarge the surface area and photon absorption ability of the g-C3N4 sample, but this significant improvement was evidently due to effective charge separation and migration. The observed results imply that the doping of non-metal elements provides improved charge separation and is an effective way to boost photocatalyst performance. This work offers an auspicious approach to design non-metal doped g-C3N4 photocatalysts for renewable fuel production and would be promising for other energy application.

Abstract
The solar-driven CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) for producing chemical fuels is considered to be a promising approach to dealing with the growing energy crisis and greenhouse effect. Herein, novel Ag/MnOx dual-cocatalyst-decorated brookite titania (BT) nanoparticles with remarkably boosted photocatalytic CO2RR performance are prepared through a facile photodeposition method. The resultant xAg-BT-yMn composite with optimal cocatalyst content delivers amazing CO/CH4 yields of 31.70/129.98 μmol g-1 with an overall photoactivity of 1103.28 μmol g-1 h-1, 11.98 times higher than that of the BT nanoparticles alone. Further investigations demonstrate that the dual cocatalysts decorating the BT nanoparticles not only effectively retard the photoinduced charge recombination but also significantly vary the surface chemical feature to promote the adsorption/activation of the reactants (CO2/H2O). In addition, the Ag nanoparticles can broaden the spectral response region, while the MnOx cocatalyst can promote the CH4 product selectivity and the water oxidation reaction. The synergistic effect of Ag/MnOx dual cocatalysts on the BT nanoparticles renders a remarkably boosted CO2RR performance, which provides a simple yet general synthesis strategy for brookite titania-based photocatalysts with high-performance solar-driven CO2 conversion.

Abstract
Studies of photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels, as a promising solution to alleviate global warming and energy issues, are booming in recent years. Researchers have focused their interest in developing g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts with intriguing features of robust light harvesting ability, excellent catalysis, and stable performance. Four types of heterojunctions (type-II, Z-scheme, S-scheme and Schottky) of the g-C3N4 composites are widely adopted. This review aims at presenting and comparing the photocatalytic mechanisms, characteristics, and performances of g-C3N4 composites concerning these four types of heterojunctions. Besides, perspectives and undergoing efforts for further development of g-C3N4 composite photocatalysts are discussed. This review would be helpful for researchers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the progress and future development trends of g-C3N4 composite heterojunctions for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has attracted wide attention due to its potential in solving energy and environmental issues. However, rapid charge recombination and a narrow visible light absorption region limit its performance. In our study, Mg-doped g-C3N4 was synthesized through a facile one-pot strategy for CO2 reduction. After Mg doping, the light utilization efficiency and photo-induced electron-hole pair separation efficiency of the catalysts were improved, which could be due to the narrower band gap and introduced midgap states. The highest amounts of CO and CH4 were obtained on Mg-CN-4% under ultraviolet light illumination, which were about 5.1 and 3.8 times that of pristine g-C3N4, respectively; the yield of CO and CH4 reached 12.97 and 7.62 μmol g-1 under visible light irradiation. Our work may provide new insight for designing advanced photocatalysts in energy conversion applications.

Abstract
The article provides an overview of the most relevant characterization results of heterogeneous photo-catalytic materials available in the literature. First, we present a summary of the ex situ utilization of physico-chemical characterization techniques. In the majority of current works, pre and post-reaction samples are subjected to ex situ analysis using a multitechnique approach which attempts to render information about the morphological, structural, and electronic properties of relevance to interpret photoactivity. Details of the effects on physico-chemical observables of the nanostructure and the complex chemical nature (considering mono and multiphase materials with presence of several chemical elements) of typical photo-catalysts will be analyzed. Modern studies however emphasize the use of in situ tools in order to establish activity-structure links. To this end, the first point to pay attention to is to consider carefully the interaction between light and matter at the reaction cell where the characterization is carried out. Operando and spectro-kinetic methodologies will be reviewed as they would render valuable and trusting results and thus will pave the way for the future developments in photocatalysis.
