New visible-light-driven Bi 2MoO 6/Cs 3Sb 2Br 9 heterostructure for selective photocatalytic oxidation of toluene to benzaldehyde. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 655:32-42. [PMID: 37924589 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2023.10.148] [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: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/06/2023]
Abstract
Herein, new Bi2MoO6/Cs3Sb2Br9 heterostructure (BiMo/CSB) was investigated for the first time as a visible-light-driven photocatalyst for C(sp3)-H bond activation using molecular oxygen as a green oxidant and toluene as a model substrate. The optimized BiMo/CSB photocatalyst exhibited enhanced toluene oxidation activity (2,346 μmol g-1h-1), which was almost two- and five-fold that of pristine CSB (1,165 μmol g-1h-1) and BiMo (482 μmol g-1h-1), respectively. The improved photocatalytic performance was essentially attributed to the formation of staggered band energy lineup in the BiMo/CSB hybrid, which promoted S-scheme charge transfer across the BiMo/CSB heterointerface as supported by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), density functional theoretical (DFT), time-resolve photoluminescence (TRPL), and photoelectrochemical studies. Spin-trapping electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and radical scavenging studies revealed that photoinduced hole, molecular oxygen, and superoxide radical are key active species in this photocatalytic system. The developed BiMo/CSB catalyst provided good selectivity toward benzaldehyde product (94-98 %), presumably due to the inhibiting effect of benzyl alcohol on benzaldehyde oxidation. No significant change in structure and morphology was observed for the spent catalyst, however small negative shift of Sb 3d and Bi 4f binding energy was found suggesting partial reduction of Sb3+ and Bi3+. This work not only provides a new visible-light-driven photocatalyst for C(sp3)-H bond activation but also opens the doors for exploitation of the conversion and functionalization of this inert bond toward the production of high value-added organic chemicals.

Abstract
Increasing pursuit of next-generation wearable electronics has put forward the demand of reliable energy devices with high flexibility, durability, and enhanced electrochemical performances. Flexible aqueous zinc-air batteries (FAZABs) have attracted great interests owing to the high energy density, safety, and environmental benignity, for which quasi-solid-state gel polymer electrolytes (QSGPEs) are state-of-the-art electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, flexibility, and resistance to leakage problems of traditional liquid electrolytes. Compared to commonly used PVA-KOH electrolyte with poor electrolyte retention capability and cycling stability, a new type of sulfonate functionalized nanocomposite QSGPE is applied in FAZABs with high ionic conductivity, strong alkaline tolerance, and high zinc anode stability. Notably, the existence of (1) strong anionic sulfonate groups of QSGPEs, contributing to the exposure of preferred Zn (002) plane that is more resistant to zinc dendrite formation, and (2) nano-attapulgite electrolyte additives, beneficial for the enhancement of ionic conductivity, electrolyte uptake, and retention capability, endows a ultralong cycling life of 450 h for the fabricated FAZAB. Furthermore, flexible energy belts and knittable energy wires fabricated with a series/parallel unit of several FAZABs can be used to power various wearable electronics.

Abstract
Sb nanosheets, also known as antimonene, have received ever-growing consideration as a promising new type of two-dimensional (2D) material due to their many attractive properties. However, how their nonlinear optical (NLO) properties are affected by their nanosheet structure and measurement conditions remains unclear. Herein, we report a successful size-selective production method for Sb nanosheets, which is based on a combination of lithium ion intercalation, solvent exfoliation and size selection centrifugation. This high-yield and size-selective preparation method enables fundamental investigation on the relation of the intrinsic optical properties of Sb nanosheets. Nanosecond Z-scan measurements revealed a unique size-dependent broadband NLO response. When the average size is reduced from 3 micrometers to 50 nanometers, the Sb nanosheets exhibit a clear transition from saturable absorption to reversed saturable absorption. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopic investigation indicated that exciton cooling is significantly faster in a small nanosheet than in large ones, revealing that the different exciton relaxation dynamic plays key roles in the distinct size-tunable nonlinear optical response. This work paves new ways towards the mass production and practical application of antimonene.
