Wang J, Luo X. Theoretical Investigation of the BCN Monolayer and Their Derivatives for Metal-free CO 2 Photocatalysis, Capture, and Utilization. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:3772-3780. [PMID: 38284013 PMCID: PMC10809229 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07795] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024]
Abstract
In recent years, carbon capture and utilization (CCU) has been explored as an attractive solution to global warming, which is mainly caused by increasing CO2 emission levels. Many functional materials have been developed for removing atmospheric CO2 and converting it to more useful forms of carbon. Traditional metallic photocatalytic species have drawbacks-photocorrosion, low visible-light absorbance, and environmental damage; therefore, metal-free materials have attracted considerable research attention. In particular, boron nitride (BN) possesses unique B-N bonds, characterized by a large difference in the electronegativity of atoms that facilitates CO2 reduction, and catalytic CO2 reduction by boron carbon nitride (BCN) has been demonstrated under visible light; hence, these two materials can be considered potential CO2 reduction photocatalysts. However, further modification of the materials and their applicability to other CCU applications have not been extensively explored. Therefore, we decided to investigate the modification of BCN monolayers, with the aim of ensuring that the properties of the materials are better suited, first, to the requirements of CO2 photocatalysis, and second, to those of carbon capture or other optoelectronic applications. In this study, we considered various novel BCN monolayers, based on modification via metal-free substitutional doping and nitrogen vacancy creation, and performed first-principles density functional theory calculations. The effects of the modifications on band gap tuning, charge transfer, and the CO2 adsorption ability were all studied. Specifically, ON-B13C8N11 and SiC-2 × 2-BC6N were shown to possess excellent properties for photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and OC-2 × 2-BC6N and Nv-4 × 4-BN can be considered for future CO2 capture materials. These results contribute to existing CCU approaches, suggesting that BCN monolayer modification merits further investigation, and offering insights relevant to other photocatalytic applications.

Abstract
The global energy shortage and environmental degradation are two major issues of concern in today's society. The production of renewable energy and the treatment of pollutants are currently the mainstream research directions in the field of photocatalysis. In addition, over the last decade or so, graphene (GR) has been widely used in photocatalysis due to its unique physical and chemical properties, such as its large light-absorption range, high adsorption capacity, large specific surface area, and excellent electronic conductivity. Here, we first introduce the unique properties of graphene, such as its high specific surface area, chemical stability, etc. Then, the basic principles of photocatalytic hydrolysis, pollutant degradation, and the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 are summarized. We then give an overview of the optimization strategies for graphene-based photocatalysis and the latest advances in its application. Finally, we present challenges and perspectives for graphene-based applications in this field in light of recent developments.

Abstract
A continuous increase in the amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is causing serious threats to the environment and life on the earth, and CO2 is one of the major candidates. Reducing the excess CO2 by converting into industrial products could be beneficial for the environment and also boost up industrial growth. In particular, the conversion of CO2 into methanol is very beneficial as it is cheaper to produce from biomass, less inflammable, and advantageous to many industries. Application of various plants, algae, and microbial enzymes to recycle the CO2 and using these enzymes separately along with CO2-phillic materials and chemicals can be a sustainable solution to reduce the global carbon footprint. Materials such as MOFs, porphyrins, and nanomaterials are also used widely for CO2 absorption and conversion into methanol. Thus, a combination of enzymes and materials which convert the CO2 into methanol could energize the CO2 utilization. The CO2 to methanol conversion utilizes carbon better than the conventional syngas and the reaction yields fewer by-products. The methanol produced can further be utilized as a clean-burning fuel, in pharmaceuticals, automobiles and as a general solvent in various industries etc. This makes methanol an ideal fuel in comparison to the conventional petroleum-based ones and it is advantageous for a safer and cleaner environment. In this review article, various aspects of the circular economy with the present scenario of environmental crisis will also be considered for large-scale sustainable biorefinery of methanol production from atmospheric CO2.

Abstract
Solving energy and environmental problems through solar-driven photocatalysis is an attractive and challenging topic. Hence, various types of photocatalysts have been developed successively to address the demands of photocatalysis. Graphene-based materials have elicited considerable attention since the discovery of graphene. As a derivative of graphene, nitrogen-doped graphene (NG) particularly stands out. Nitrogen atoms can break the undifferentiated structure of graphene and open the bandgap while endowing graphene with an uneven electron density distribution. Therefore, NG retains nearly all the advantages of original graphene and is equipped with several novel properties, ensuring infinite possibilities for NG-based photocatalysis. This review introduces the atomic and band structures of NG, summarizes in situ and ex situ synthesis methods, highlights the mechanism and advantages of NG in photocatalysis, and outlines its applications in different photocatalysis directions (primarily hydrogen production, CO2 reduction, pollutant degradation, and as photoactive ingredient). Lastly, the central challenges and possible improvements of NG-based photocatalysis in the future are presented. This study is expected to learn from the past and achieve progress toward the future for NG-based photocatalysis.

Abstract
Graphene, the most promising material of the decade, has attracted immense interest in a diversified range of applications. The weak van der Waals interaction between adjacent atomic-thick lamellae, excellent mechanical strength, remarkable thermal conductivity, and high surface area, make graphene a potential candidate for tribological applications. However, the use of graphene as an additive to liquid lubricants has been a major challenge because of poor dispersibility. Herein, a thorough review is presented on preparation, structural models, chemical functionalization, and dispersibility of graphene, graphene oxide, chemically-functionalized graphene, and graphene-derived nanocomposites. The graphene-based materials as additives to water and lubricating oils improved the lubrication properties by reducing the friction, protecting the contact interfaces against the wear, dissipating the heat from tribo-interfaces, and mitigating the corrosion by forming the protecting thin film. The dispersion stability, structural features, and dosage of graphene-based dispersoids, along with contact geometry, play important roles and govern the tribological properties. The chemistry of lubricated surfaces is critically reviewed by emphasizing the graphene-based thin film formation under the tribo-stress, which minimizes the wear. The comprehensive review provides variable approaches for the development of high-performance lubricant systems and accentuates the lubrication mechanisms by highlighting the role of graphene-based materials for enhancement of tribological properties.

Abstract
TiO2 probably plays the most important role in photocatalysis due to its excellent chemical and physical properties. However, the band gap of TiO2 corresponds to the Ultraviolet (UV) region, which is inactive under visible irradiation. At present, TiO2 has become activated in the visible light region by metal and nonmetal doping and the fabrication of composites. Recently, nano-TiO2 has attracted much attention due to its characteristics of larger specific surface area and more exposed surface active sites. nano-TiO2 has been obtained in many morphologies such as ultrathin nanosheets, nanotubes, and hollow nanospheres. This work focuses on the application of nano-TiO2 in efficient environmental photocatalysis such as hydrogen production, dye degradation, CO2 degradation, and nitrogen fixation, and discusses the methods to improve the activity of nano-TiO2 in the future.

Abstract
Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is one of the well-known causes of global warming. Photoconversion of CO2 to useful chemical compounds using solar energy is an attractive approach as it reduces the major greenhouse gas and promises a sustainable energy source. This method involves radical-chain reactions that form cation and anion radicals generated as a result of the reaction with photogenerated electrons (e−) and holes (h+) between metal oxide photocatalyst and the reactants. Therefore, the product distribution of a modified photocatalyst even under specific reaction conditions is difficult to predict. The CO2 photocatalytic reduction process is controlled by several conditions such as reactor configuration, photocatalyst type, and nature of the reducing agents. Here, we review the parameters such as temperature, pH, CO2 pressure, type of reductant, role of co-catalysts, dopants, and type of photocatalysts that influence the end products of the photocatalytic reduction of CO2. In this review, the different modifications recommended for the photocatalysts to improve CO2 reduction and receive maximum valuable end product (methane, ethanol, methanol, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide) have been listed. The discussion also includes specific behaviors of photocatalysts which lead to different product distribution. It has been noted that different metal and nonmetal dopants improve the activity of a photocatalyst and influence the end product distribution by altering the active species. Similarly, the key factors, i.e. size, morphology and doping, which have been ruling the photocatalytic activity of CO2 reduction under UV or visible light irradiation have been identified.

Abstract
The continuous rise in the atmospheric CO2 level and the ever-increasing demand of energy have raised serious concerns about the ensuing effects on the global climate change and future energy supply. Photocatalytic conversion of CO2, which uses solar light energy to recycle CO2 into fuels and chemicals, provides a promising and straightforward strategy to simultaneously reduce the atmospheric CO2 level and fulfil the future energy demand. However, the lack of substantial development of state-of-the-art materials remains a major bottleneck of this technology. In recent years, graphene-based composite photocatalysts have gained increasing interest in CO2 conversion due to the introduction of graphene with a series of unique physicochemical properties, which has shown to play a significant role in promoting the photocatalytic solar energy conversion efficiency. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the typical literature reports on graphene-based composites for photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to produce solar fuels and chemicals. The main types of the reported graphene-based composites and the role of graphene in the composites in improving the photocatalytic performance have been elaborated. In particular, we have highlighted the possible role of graphene in tuning the product selectivity of photocatalytic reduction of CO2. Finally, perspectives on the existing problems and future research on graphene-based composites toward photocatalytic conversion of CO2 are critically discussed.
