Article Synopsis
- EUK-134 effectively catalyzes the dismutation reaction of superoxide radicals, with a lower activation energy compared to non-catalytic reactions.
- For the non-catalytic dismutation of hydrogen peroxide, the most favorable reaction path is identified as MEP3, which has the lowest activation energy among three possibilities.
- In the two-step dismutation reaction of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by EUK-134, the energy barrier is lower than non-catalytic reactions, with the Mn atom within EUK-134 acting as both an electron donor and acceptor.
Article Synopsis
- The study utilized density functional theory to analyze the structural, electronic, and optical properties of graphitic carbon nitride (GCN) and its combination with oxalic acid (OAGCN).
- When comparing their energy levels, OAGCN exhibited a lower rate of electron-hole recombination, suggesting improved efficiency in photocatalytic applications.
- Results indicate that OAGCN not only allows for radical production from electrons at the conduction band minimum (CBM) but also from holes at the valence band maximum (VBM), leading to enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to GCN.
