Abstract
In the quest for effective solutions to address Environ. Pollut. and meet the escalating energy demands, heterojunction photocatalysts have emerged as a captivating and versatile technology. These photocatalysts have garnered significant interest due to their wide-ranging applications, including wastewater treatment, air purification, CO2 capture, and hydrogen generation via water splitting. This technique harnesses the power of semiconductors, which are activated under light illumination, providing the necessary energy for catalytic reactions. With visible light constituting a substantial portion (46%) of the solar spectrum, the development of visible-light-driven semiconductors has become imperative. Heterojunction photocatalysts offer a promising strategy to overcome the limitations associated with activating semiconductors under visible light. In this comprehensive review, we present the recent advancements in the field of photocatalytic degradation of contaminants across diverse media, as well as the remarkable progress made in renewable energy production. Moreover, we delve into the crucial role played by various operating parameters in influencing the photocatalytic performance of heterojunction systems. Finally, we address emerging challenges and propose novel perspectives to provide valuable insights for future advancements in this dynamic research domain. By unraveling the potential of heterojunction photocatalysts, this review contributes to the broader understanding of their applications and paves the way for exciting avenues of exploration and innovation.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 into fuel feed stocks is a promising method for sustainable fuel production. A highly attractive class of materials, inorganic-core@metal-organic-framework heterogeneous catalysts, boasts a significant increase in catalytic performance when compared to the individual materials. However, due to the ever-expanding chemical space of inorganic-core catalysts and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), identification of these optimal heterojunctions is difficult without appropriate computational screening. In this work, a novel high-throughput screening method of nano-hybrid photocatalysts is presented by screening 65 784 inorganic-core materials and 20 375 MOF-shells for their ability to reduce CO2 based on their synthesizability, aqueous stability, visible light absorption, and electronic structure; the passing materials were then paired based on their electronic structure to create novel heterojunctions. The results showed 58 suitable inorganic-core materials and 204 suitable MOFs ranging from never-before-synthesized catalysts to catalysts that have been overlooked for their photocatalytic ability. These materials lay a new foundation of photocatalysts that have passed theoretical requirements and can significantly increase the rate of catalyst discovery.

Abstract
The development of advanced materials for efficient photocatalytic H2 production and CO2 reduction is highly recommended for addressing environmental issues and producing clean energy sources. Specifically, MXenes have emerged as two-dimensional (2D) materials extensively used as high-performance cocatalysts in photocatalyst systems owing to their outstanding features of structure and properties such as high conductivity, large specific surface area, and abundant active sites. Nevertheless, there is a lack of deep and systematic studies concerning the application of these emerging materials for CO2 reduction reaction (CRR) and H2 production (HER). This review first outlines the essential features of MXenes, encompassing the synthesis methods, composition, surface terminations, and electronic properties, which make them highly active as cocatalysts. It then examines the recent progress in MXene-based photocatalysts, emphasizing the synergy achieved by coupling MXenes as co-catalysts with semiconductors, utilizing MXenes as a support for the consistent growth of photocatalysts, leading to finely dispersed nanoparticles, and exploiting MXene as exceptional precursors for creating MXene/metal oxide photocomposite. The roles of engineering surface terminations of MXene cocatalysts, MXene quantum dots (QDs), and distinctive morphologies in MXenes-based photocatalyst systems to enhance photocatalytic activity for both HER and CRR have been explored both experimentally and theoretically using DFT calculations. Challenges and prospects for MXene-based photocatalysts are also addressed. Finally, suggestions for further research and development of effective and economical MXenes/semiconductors strategies are proposed. This comprehensive review article serves as a valuable reference for researchers for applying MXenes in photocatalysis.

Abstract
Electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (eCO2 RR) is a promising strategy to achieve carbon cycling by converting CO2 into value-added products under mild reaction conditions. Recently, single-atom catalysts (SACs) have shown enormous potential in eCO2 RR due to their high utilization of metal atoms and flexible coordination structures. In this work, the recent progress in SACs for eCO2 RR is outlined, with detailed discussions on the interaction between active sites and CO2 , especially the adsorption/activation behavior of CO2 and the effects of the electronic structure of SACs on eCO2 RR. Three perspectives form the starting point: 1) Important factors of SACs for eCO2 RR; 2) Typical SACs for eCO2 RR; 3) eCO2 RR toward valuable products. First, how different modification strategies can change the electronic structure of SACs to improve catalytic performance is discussed; Second, SACs with diverse supports and how supports assist active sites to undergo catalytic reaction are introduced; Finally, according to various valuable products from eCO2 RR, the reaction mechanism and measures which can be taken to improve the selectivity of eCO2 RR are discussed. Hopefully, this work can provide a comprehensive understanding of SACs for eCO2 RR and spark innovative design and modification ideas to develop highly efficient SACs for CO2 conversion to various valuable fuels/chemicals.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks constructed from Zr usually possess excellent chemical and physical stability. Therefore, they have become attractive platforms in various fields. In this work, two families of hybrid materials based on ZrSQU have been designed and synthesized, named Im@ZrSQU and Cu@ZrSQU, respectively. Im@ZrSQU was prepared through the impregnation method and employed for proton conduction. Im@ZrSQU exhibited terrific proton conduction performance in an anhydrous environment, with the highest proton conduction value of 3.6 × 10-2 S cm-1 at 110 °C. In addition, Cu@ZrSQU was synthesized via the photoinduction method for the photoreduction of CO2, which successfully promoted the conversion of CO2 into CO and achieved the CO generation rate of up to 12.4 μmol g-1 h-1. The photocatalytic performance of Cu@ZrSQU is derived from the synergistic effect of Cu NPs and ZrSQU. Based on an in-depth study and discussion toward ZrSQU, we provide a versatile platform with applications in the field of proton conduction and photocatalysis, which will guide researchers in their further studies.

Abstract
Colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been extensively investigated owing to their unique properties induced by the quantum confinement effect. The advent of colloidal synthesis routes led to the design of stable colloidal NCs with uniform size, shape, and composition. Metal oxides, phosphides, and chalcogenides (ZnE, CdE, PbE, where E = S, Se, or Te) are few of the most important monocomponent semiconductor NCs, which show excellent optoelectronic properties. The ability to build quantum confined heterostructures comprising two or more semiconductor NCs offer greater customization and tunability of properties compared to their monocomponent counterparts. More recently, the halide perovskite NCs showed exceptional optoelectronic properties for energy generation and harvesting applications. Numerous applications including photovoltaic, photodetectors, light emitting devices, catalysis, photochemical devices, and solar driven fuel cells have demonstrated using these NCs in the recent past. Overall, semiconductor NCs prepared via the colloidal synthesis route offer immense potential to become an alternative to the presently available device applications. This feature article will explore the progress of NCs syntheses with outstanding potential to control the shape and spatial dimensionality required for photovoltaic, light emitting diode, and photocatalytic applications. We also attempt to address the challenges associated with achieving high efficiency devices with the NCs and possible solutions including interface engineering, packing control, encapsulation chemistry, and device architecture engineering.

Abstract
Carbon materials with elusive 0D, 1D, 2D, and 3D nanostructures and high surface area provide certain emerging applications in electrocatalytic and photocatalytic CO2 utilization. Since carbon possesses high electrical conductivity, it expels the photogenerated electrons from the catalytic surface and can tune the photocatalytic activity in the visible-light region. However, the photocatalytic efficiency of pristine carbon is comparatively low due to the high recombination of photogenerated carriers. Thus, supporting carbon materials, such as graphene, CNTs (Carbon nanotubes), g-C3N4, MWCNs (Multiwall carbon nanotubes), conducting polymers, and its other simpler forms like activated carbon, nanofibers, nanosheets, and nanoparticles, are usually combined with other metal and non-metal nanocomposites to increase the CO2 absorption and conversion. In addition, carbon-based materials with transition metals and organometallic complexes are also commonly used as photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. This review focuses on developing efficient carbon-based nanomaterials for the photoconversion of CO2 into solar fuels. It is concluded that MWCNs are one of the most used materials as supporting materials for CO2 reduction. Due to the multi-layered morphology, multiple reflections will occur within the layers, thus enhancing light harvesting. In particular, stacked nanostructured hollow sphere morphologies can also help the metal doping from corroding.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction (CO2R) in ∼0 mM CO2(aq) concentration is challenging but is relevant for capturing CO2 and achieving a circular carbon economy. Despite recent advances, the interplay between the CO2 catalytic reduction and the oxidative redox processes that are arranged on photocatalyst surfaces with nanometer-scale distances is less studied. Specifically, mechanistic investigation on interdependent processes, including CO2 adsorption, charge separation, long-range chemical transport (∼100 nm distance), and bicarbonate buffer speciation, involved in photocatalysis is urgently needed. Photocatalytic CO2R in ∼0 mM CO2(aq), which has important applications in integrated carbon capture and utilization (CCU), has rarely been studied. Using 0.1 M KHCO3 (aq) of pH 7 but without continuously bubbling CO2, we achieved ∼0.1% solar-to-fuel conversion efficiency for CO production using Ag@CrOx nanoparticles that are supported on a coating-protected GaInP2 photocatalytic panel. CO is produced at ∼100% selectivity with no detectable H2, even with copious protons co-generated nearby. CO2 flux to the Ag@CrOx CO2R sites enhances CO2 adsorption, probed by in situ Raman spectroscopy. CO is produced with local protonation of dissolved inorganic carbon species in a pH as high as 11.5 when using fast electron donors such as ethanol. Isotopic labeling using KH13CO3 was used to confirm the origin of CO from the bicarbonate solution. We then employed COMSOL Multiphysics modeling to simulate the spatial and temporal pH variation and the local concentrations of bicarbonates and CO2(aq). We found that light-driven CO2R and CO2 reactive transport are mutually dependent, which is important for further understanding and manipulating CO2R activity and selectivity. This study enables direct bicarbonate utilization as the source of CO2, thereby achieving CO2 capture and conversion without purifying and feeding gaseous CO2.

Abstract
Semiconductor-mediated photocatalysis plays a pivotal role in the elimination of organic pollutants from water systems. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc sulphide (ZnS) semiconductors are commonly utilized as photocatalysts in water purification due to their physical and chemical stability and also large band gap. The drawbacks of both semiconductors, nevertheless, prevent them from being used in real and large-scale treatments. Therefore, binary and ternary-based TiO2/ZnS nanostructured materials may be a promising solution to improve the quantum efficiency, structural, and electrical features of pure TiO2 and ZnS semiconductors for improved photoefficiency. This review aims to unravel the development of binary TiO2/ZnS and the modification of ternary photocatalysts (TiO2/ZnS-X, X = metal, non-metal, and dye sensitization) by various approaches. The engineered TiO2/ZnS-based ternary nanostructured materials have exhibited exceptional performance to accelerate the degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. These materials were fabricated by modifying TiO2/ZnS binary composite and embedding co-catalysts like carbonaceous material, polymeric material, transition metal, metal oxide, and metal. The relationship between the properties of the resulting nanomaterials and their photocatalytic performances has been examined. This review has also placed a special focus on the synthetic routes applied to derive the binary and ternary TiO2/ZnS composites. Another aim of this review is to scrutinize the factors that influence the performance of binary and ternary-based TiO2/ZnS composites on the degradation of organic pollutants. Opportunities for further investigation have been also outlined, along with limitations and impediments based on the current findings.

Abstract
The CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) into chemical products is a promising and efficient way to combat the global warming issue and greenhouse effect. The viability of the CO2RR critically rests with finding highly active and selective catalysts that can accomplish the desired chemical transformation. Single-atom catalysts (SACs) are ideal in fulfilling this goal due to the well-defined active sites and support-tunable electronic structure, and exhibit enhanced activity and high selectivity for the CO2RR. In this review, we present the recent progress of quantum-theoretical studies on electro- and photo-chemical conversion of CO2 with SACs and frameworks. Various calculated products of CO2RR with SACs have been discussed, including CO, acids, alcohols, hydrocarbons and other organics. Meanwhile, the critical challenges and the pathway towards improving the efficiency of the CO2RR have also been discussed.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction utilizing solar energy is a clean, environment-friendly strategy converting CO2 into hydrocarbon fuels to solve the energy crisis and climate issues. Herein, we report the synthesis of Cu-doped SnS2 nanosheets via a simple hydrothermal method. The prepared Cu-doped SnS2 composite displays superior photocatalytic CO2 reduction activity. The optimized CH3OH yield of the composite is two times higher than that of pure SnS2. The enhanced photocatalytic performance is attributed to effective charge separation resulting from the thinner nanosheets and delocalization of electrons from SnS2 to Cu, high visible light utilization efficiency, enlarged SBET, negative shift of the flat-band potential and reduced charge transfer resistance with the introduction of Cu atoms. This work suggests the potential application of Cu-doped SnS2 in photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Inspired by natural photosynthesis, harnessing the wide range of natural solar energy and utilizing appropriate semiconductor-based catalysts to convert carbon dioxide into beneficial energy species, for example, CO, CH4 , HCOOH, and CH3 COH have been shown to be a sustainable and more environmentally friendly approach. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3 N4 ) has been regarded as a highly effective photocatalyst for the CO2 reduction reaction, owing to its cost-effectiveness, high thermal and chemical stability, visible light absorption capability, and low toxicity. However, weaker electrical conductivity, fast recombination rate, smaller visible light absorption window, and reduced surface area make this catalytic material unsuitable for commercial photocatalytic applications. Therefore, certain procedures, including elemental doping, structural modulation, functional group adjustment of g-C3 N4 , the addition of metal complex motif, and others, may be used to improve its photocatalytic activity towards effective CO2 reduction. This review has investigated the scientific community's perspectives on synthetic pathways and material optimization approaches used to increase the selectivity and efficiency of the g-C3 N4 -based hybrid structures, as well as their benefits and drawbacks on photocatalytic CO2 reduction. Finally, the review concludes a comparative discussion and presents a promising picture of the future scope of the improvements.

Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis has received increasing attention because of its potential to address problems related to the energy crisis and environmental issues. However, conventional semiconductor photocatalysts, such as TiO2 and ZnO, can only be activated by ultraviolet light due to their wide band gap. To extend the light absorption into the visible range, the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect of noble metal nanoparticles (NPs) has been widely used. Noble metal NPs can couple incident visible light energy to strong LSPR, and the nonradiative decay of LSPR generates nonthermal hot carriers that can be injected into adjacent semiconductor material to enhance its photocatalytic activity. Here we demonstrate that nanoimprint-defined gap plasmonic nanofinger arrays can function as visible light-driven plasmonic photocatalysts. The sub-5 nm gaps between pairs of collapsed nanofingers can support ultra-strong plasmon resonance and thus boost the population of hot carriers. The semiconductor material is exactly placed at the hot spots, providing an efficient pathway for hot carrier injection from plasmonic metal to catalytic materials. This nanostructure thus exhibits high plasmon-enhanced photocatalytic activity under visible light. The hot carrier injection mechanism of this platform was systematically investigated. The plasmonic enhancement factor was calculated using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and was consistent with the measured improvement of the photocatalytic activity. This platform, benefiting from the precise controllable geometry, provides a deeper understanding of the mechanism of plasmonic photocatalysis.

Abstract
Photocatalytic CO2 reduction by solar energy into carbonaceous feedstock chemicals is recognized as one of the effective ways to mitigate both the energy crisis and greenhouse effect, which fundamentally relies on the development of advanced photocatalysts. Here, the exploration of porous microrod photocatalysts based on novel NiCoO solid solutions derived from bimetallic metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is reported. They exhibit overall enhanced photocatalytic performance with both high activity and remarkable selectivity for reducing CO2 into CO under visible-light irradiation, which are superior to most related photocatalysts reported. Accordingly, the Ni0.2 -Co0.8 -O microrod (MR-N0.2 C0.8 O) photocatalyst delivers high efficiency for photocatalytic CO2 reduction into CO at a rate up to ≈277 µmol g-1 h-1 , which is ≈35 times to that of its NiO counterpart. Furthermore, they display a high selectivity of ≈85.12%, which is not only better than that of synthesized Co3 O4 (61.25%) but also superior to that of reported Co3 O4 -based photocatalysts. It is confirmed that the Co and Ni species are responsible for CO2 CO conversion activity and selectivity, respectively. In addition, it is verified, by adjusting the Ni contents, that the band structure of NiCoO microrods can be tailored with favorable reduction band potentials, which thus enhance the selectivity toward CO2 photoreduction.

Abstract
Semiconductor photocatalysis is thought to be a viable solution for addressing the growing problem of environmental pollution. Bismuth (Bi) metal oxides can function as a direct plasmonic photocatalyst or cocatalyst to accelerate the photogenerated charge separation and thus improve their photocatalytic activity. Hence, Bi-based photocatalysts have received a lot of attention due to their extensive environmental applications, including pollutant remediation and energy concepts. Massive efforts have been undertaken in the recent decade to find superior Bi-metal oxides (Bi2XO6, X = MO, W, or Cr) and to uncover the corresponding photocatalytic reaction mechanism for the degradation of organic contaminants in water. Herein, the unique crystalline and electronic properties and main synthesis methods, as well as the major Bi-Based direct Z-scheme photocatalysts, are timely discussed and summarized in their usage in water treatment. Besides, the impact of Bi2XO6 in energy storage devices and solar energy conversion is reviewed as an energy application. Finally, the future development and challenges of Z-scheme-based Bi2XO6 photocatalysts are briefly explored, summarized, and forecasted.

Abstract
Photocatalytic conversion of CO2 to generate high-value and renewable chemical fuels and feedstock presents a sustainable and renewable alternative to fossil fuels and petrochemicals. Currently, there is a dearth of kinetic understanding to inform better catalyst design, especially at uniform reaction conditions across diverse catalytic species. In this work, we investigate 12 active, stable, and unique but common nanoparticle photocatalysts for CO2 reduction at room temperature and low partial pressure in aqueous phase: TiO2, SnO2, and SiC deposited with silver, gold, and platinum. Our analysis reveals a single consistent chemical kinetic mechanism, which accurately describes the yield and selectivity of all single-carbon containing (C1) products obtained in spite of the diverse catalysts employed. Formaldehyde is predicted as the first product in the reaction network and we report, to the best of our knowledge, the highest selectivity to date toward formaldehyde during CO2 photoreduction when compared against all other C1 products (∼80%) albeit at low CO2 conversion (<0.5 μmol gcat-1 h-1, <16.8 nmol m-2 h-1). Further, we observe a volcano-like relationship between the electron-transfer rate of a given photocatalyst for CO2 reduction and the net rate at which reduced products are produced in the reaction mixture taking into account unfavorable product oxidation. We establish an empirical upper limit for the maximum rate of production of CO2 reduction products for any nanoparticle photocatalyst in the absence of a hole-scavenging agent. These results form the basis for the design and optimization of the next generation of highly efficiency and active photocatalysts for CO2 reduction.

Abstract
Gas movement around and/or through the photocatalyst is thought to be an inhibition factor to promote photocatalytic CO2 reduction performance. In this study, a hypothesis is put forward that the natural thermosiphon movement of gases around the photocatalyst can be improved by using black body material/surface. The black body material/surface that is placed underneath the photocatalyst in the reactor would be heated by absorbing light and then this heats up the gases to promote their movement around/through the photocatalyst. The aim of this study is to prove or disprove this hypothesis by conducting CO2 reduction performance of a TiO2 photocatalyst with NH3 under the conditions without black body material (W/O B.B.), with one black body material (W B.B.-1), and with three black body materials (W B.B.-3). The impact of molar ratio of CO2/NH3 on CO2 reduction performance is also investigated. This study revealed/proved that the hypothesis worked and that the CO2 reduction performance is promoted more with W B.B.-3 compared to that with W B.B.-1. The maximum concentration of formed CO with W B.B.-3 is two to five times as large as that under the condition W/O B.B.

Abstract
Oilfield-produced water is the primary by-product generated during oil and gas extraction operations. Oilfield-produced water is often severely toxic and poses substantial health, safety, and environmental issues; adequate treatment technologies can bring these streams to a quality level. Photocatalysis is a photochemical catalytic reaction that is a highly promising tool for environmental remediation due to its efficiency in mineralizing persistent and potentially toxic contaminants. However, there is limited understanding of its application to treat oilfield-produced water with a complex and highly variable water composition. This review article discusses the mechanisms and current state of heterogeneous photocatalytic systems for oilfield-produced water treatment, highlighting impediments to knowledge transfer, including the feasibility of practical applications and the identification of essential research requirements. Additionally, the effects of significant variables such as catalyst quantity, pH, organic compound concentration, light intensity, and wavelength are discussed in detail. Some solutions are proposed for scientists and engineers interested in advancing the development of industrial-scale photocatalytic water treatment technologies.

Abstract
A green carbon capture and conversion technology offering scalability and economic viability for mitigating CO2 emissions is reported. The technology uses suspensions of gallium liquid metal to reduce CO2 into carbonaceous solid products and O2 at near room temperature. The nonpolar nature of the liquid gallium interface allows the solid products to instantaneously exfoliate, hence keeping active sites accessible. The solid co-contributor of silver-gallium rods ensures a cyclic sustainable process. The overall process relies on mechanical energy as the input, which drives nano-dimensional triboelectrochemical reactions. When a gallium/silver fluoride mix at 7:1 mass ratio is employed to create the reaction material, 92% efficiency is obtained at a remarkably low input energy of 230 kWh (excluding the energy used for dissolving CO2 ) for the capture and conversion of a tonne of CO2 . This green technology presents an economical solution for CO2 emissions.

Abstract
There exist several well-known methods with varying maturity for capturing carbon dioxide from emission sources of different concentrations, including absorption, adsorption, cryogenics and membrane separation, among others. The capture and separation steps can produce almost pure CO2, but at substantial cost for being conditioned for transport and final utilization, with high economical risks to be considered. A possible way for the elimination of this conditioning and cost is direct CO2 utilization, whether on-site in a further process but within the same plant, or in-situ, coupling both capture and conversion in the same unit. This approach is usually called integrated carbon capture and utilization (ICCU) or integrated carbon capture and conversion (ICCC), and has lately started receiving considerable attention in many circles. As CO2 is already industrially employed in other sectors, such as food preservation, water treatment and conversion to high added-value chemicals and fuels such as methanol, methane, etc., among others, it is of great interest to explore the global ICCC approach. Catalytic-based processes play a key role in CO2 conversion, and different technologies are gaining great attention from both academia and industry. However, the 'big picture of ICCU' and in which technology the efforts should focus on at large scale is still unclear. This review analyzes some promising concepts of ICCU specifically on CO2 catalytic conversion, highlighting their current commercial relevance as well as challenges that have to be faced today and in the next future.

Abstract
The accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as a result of human activities has caused a number of adverse circumstances in the world. For this reason, the proposed solutions lie within the aim of reducing carbon dioxide emissions have been quite valuable. However, as the human activity continues to increase on this planet, the possibility of reducing carbon dioxide emissions decreases with the use of conventional methods. The emergence of compounds than can be used in different fields by converting the released carbon dioxide into different chemicals will construct a fundamental solution to the problem. Although electro-catalysis or photolithography methods have emerged for this purpose, they have not been able to achieve successful results. Alternatively, another proposed solution are enzyme based systems. Among the enzyme-based systems, pyruvate decarboxylase, carbonic anhydrase and dehydrogenases have been the most studied enzymes. Pyruvate dehydrogenase and carbonic anhydrase have either been an expensive method or were incapable of producing the desired result due to the reaction cascade they catalyze. However, the studies reporting the production of industrial chemicals from carbon dioxide using dehydrogenases and in particular, the formate dehydrogenase enzyme, have been remarkable. Moreover, reported studies have shown the existence of more active and stable enzymes, especially the dehydrogenase family that can be identified from the biome. In addition to this, their redesign through protein engineering can have an immense contribution to the increased use of enzyme-based methods in CO2 reduction, resulting in an enormous expansion of the industrial capacity.

Comparison of CO 2 Reduction Performance with NH 3 and H 2O between Cu/TiO 2 and Pd/TiO 2. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26102904. [PMID: 34068414 PMCID: PMC8153631 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26102904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2021] [Revised: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 05/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the effect of doped metal type on CO2 reduction characteristics of TiO2 with NH3 and H2O. Cu and Pd have been selected as dopants for TiO2. In addition, the impact of molar ratio of CO2 to reductants NH3 and H2O has been investigated. A TiO2 photocatalyst was prepared by a sol-gel and dip-coating process, and then doped with Cu or Pd fine particles by using the pulse arc plasma gun method. The prepared Cu/TiO2 film and Pd/TiO2 film were characterized by SEM, EPMA, TEM, STEM, EDX, EDS and EELS. This study also has investigated the performance of CO2 reduction under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. As a result, it is revealed that the CO2 reduction performance with Cu/TiO2 under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO2/NH3/H2O = 1:1:1 while that without UV light is the highest when the molar ratio of CO2/NH3/H2O = 1:0.5:0.5. It is revealed that the CO2 reduction performance of Pd/TiO2 is the highest for the molar ratio of CO2/NH3/H2O = 1:1:1 no matter the used Xe lamp was with or without UV light. The molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO2 produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with UV light was 10.2 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO2 was 5.5 μmol/g. Meanwhile, the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst for Cu/TiO2 produced under the illumination condition of Xe lamp without UV light was 2.5 μmol/g, while that for Pd/TiO2 was 3.5 μmol/g. This study has concluded that Cu/TiO2 is superior to Pd/TiO2 from the viewpoint of the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of photocatalyst as well as the quantum efficiency.

Abstract
This study has investigated the impact of molar ratio of CO2 to reductants NH3 and H2O as well as that of Cu loading on CO2 reduction characteristics over Cu/TiO2. No study to optimize the reductants’ combination and Cu loading weight in order to enhance CO2 reduction performance of TiO2 has been investigated yet. This study prepared Cu/TiO2 film by loading Cu particles during the pulse arc plasma gun process after coating TiO2 film by the sol-gel and dip-coating process. As to loading weight of Cu, it was regulated by change in the pulse number. This study characterized the prepared Cu/TiO2 film by SEM and EPMA. Additionally, the performance of CO2 reduction has been investigated under the illumination condition of Xe lamp with or without ultraviolet (UV) light. It is revealed that the molar ratio of CO2/NH3/H2O is optimized according to the pulse number. Since the amount of H+ which is the same as that of electron is needed to produce CO decided following the theoretical CO2 reduction reacting with H2O or NH3, larger H+ is needed with the increase in the pulse number. It is revealed that Cu of 4.57 wt% for the pulse number of 200 is the optimum condition, whereas the molar quantity of CO per unit weight of Cu/TiO2 with and without UV light illumination is 34.1 mol/g and 12.0 mol/g, respectively.

Abstract
Plasmonic photocatalysis enables innovation by harnessing photonic energy across a broad swathe of the solar spectrum to drive chemical reactions. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the latest developments and issues for advanced research in plasmonic hot electron driven photocatalytic technologies focusing on TiO2-noble metal nanoparticle heterojunctions. In-depth discussions on fundamental hot electron phenomena in plasmonic photocatalysis is the focal point of this review. We summarize hot electron dynamics, elaborate on techniques to probe and measure said phenomena, and provide perspective on potential applications-photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants, CO2 photoreduction, and photoelectrochemical water splitting-that benefit from this technology. A contentious and hitherto unexplained phenomenon is the wavelength dependence of plasmonic photocatalysis. Many published reports on noble metal-metal oxide nanostructures show action spectra where quantum yields closely follow the absorption corresponding to higher energy interband transitions, while an equal number also show quantum efficiencies that follow the optical response corresponding to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). We have provided a working hypothesis for the first time to reconcile these contradictory results and explain why photocatalytic action in certain plasmonic systems is mediated by interband transitions and in others by hot electrons produced by the decay of particle plasmons.

Abstract
This article reviews and summarizes work recently performed in this laboratory on the synthesis of advanced transparent conducting oxide nanopowders by the use of plasma. The nanopowders thus synthesized include indium tin oxide (ITO), zinc oxide (ZnO) and tin-doped zinc oxide (TZO), aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO), and indium-doped zinc oxide (IZO). These oxides have excellent transparent conducting properties, among other useful characteristics. ZnO and TZO also has photocatalytic properties. The synthesis of these materials started with the selection of the suitable precursors, which were injected into a non-transferred thermal plasma and vaporized followed by vapor-phase reactions to form nanosized oxide particles. The products were analyzed by the use of various advanced instrumental analysis techniques, and their useful properties were tested by different appropriate methods. The thermal plasma process showed a considerable potential as an efficient technique for synthesizing oxide nanopowders. This process is also suitable for large scale production of nano-sized powders owing to the availability of high temperatures for volatilizing reactants rapidly, followed by vapor phase reactions and rapid quenching to yield nano-sized powder.
