Solar Biomass Reforming and Hydrogen Production with Earth‐Abundant Si‐Based Photocatalysts (Adv. Mater. 30/2023)

Photocatalysts In article number 2301576, Soojin Park, Jungki Ryu, and co-workers present earth-abundant non-toxic photocatalysts that can produce hydrogen reform biomass efficiently, utilizing solar energy. Si flakes modified with Ni-coordinated N-doped graphene quantum dots facilitate record-high productivity under simulated sunlight without any buffering agent sacrificial electron donors. The material be readily recycled noticeable performance degradation owing to the prevention of deactivation via oxidation.
