A stable ZnCo2O4 cocatalyst for photocatalytic CO2 reduction.

چکیده
Spinel ZnCo2O4 nanostructures have shown great opportunities in energy related areas. However, the applications of ZnCo2O4 for the conversion of CO2 are much less reported. Herein, we present the use of mesoporous ZnCo2O4 nanorods as efficient and high stable cocatalysts for the photochemical reduction of CO2 under mild reaction conditions.

Photocatalytic CO2 conversion over alkali modified TiO2 without loading noble metal cocatalyst.
Surface modification of TiO2 with NaOH promoted the chemisorption, activation and photocatalytic CO2 reduction. An optimized loading amount of NaOH kept a good balance between CO2 chemisorption quantity and BET surface area of TiO2. This noble metal free method provides a simple pathway for effective multiple H(+)/e(-) CO2 photoreduction.
متن کاملReinforced photocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO by a ternary metal oxide NiCo2O4.
The work reported herein was the facile preparation of uniform urchin-like NiCo2O4 microspheres, and their use as an efficient and stable cocatalyst for photocatalytic CO2 reduction catalysis. A combined solvothermal-calcination strategy was applied to synthesize the NiCo2O4 material that was systematically characterized by physical and chemical measurements (e.g. SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, EDX, eleme...
متن کاملArtificial Photosynthesis on TiO2-Passivated InP Nanopillars.
Here, we report photocatalytic CO2 reduction with water to produce methanol using TiO2-passivated InP nanopillar photocathodes under 532 nm wavelength illumination. In addition to providing a stable photocatalytic surface, the TiO2-passivation layer provides substantial enhancement in the photoconversion efficiency through the introduction of O vacancies associated with the nonstoichiometric gr...
متن کاملSynergistic Effect of Dual Electron-Cocatalysts for Enhanced Photocatalytic Activity: rGO as Electron-Transfer Mediator and Fe(III) as Oxygen-Reduction Active Site
For a high-performance cocatalyst-modified photocatalyst, an effective interfacial separation of photogenerated electron from its corresponding holes and its following reduction reaction at the active sites are highly required. However, it is difficult for a single-component cocatalyst to simultaneously realize the crucial functions. In this study, an effective interfacial transfer of photogene...
متن کاملRoles of cocatalysts in semiconductor-based photocatalytic hydrogen production.
A photocatalyst is defined as a functional composite material with three components: photo-harvester (e.g. semiconductor), reduction cocatalyst (e.g. for hydrogen evolution) and oxidation cocatalyst (e.g. for oxidation evolution from water). Loading cocatalysts on semiconductors is proved to be an effective approach to promote the charge separation and transfer, suppress the charge recombinatio...
