One-pot in-situ hydrothermal synthesis of ternary InS/NbO/NbC Schottky/S-scheme integrated heterojunction for efficient photocatalytic hydrogen production.

MXene-derived photocatalysts continue to fascinate the research community in developing photo-driven green and sustainable fuel production. However, the efficiency of MXene-derived photocatalyst is still low due to the wide bandgap and high recombination rate of photo-excited charge carriers. Here, we have synthesized the NbC MXene-derived ternary photocatalyst via one-pot in-situ hydrothermal method for photocatalytic hydrogen (H) evolution.

Modulation of the Reduction Potential of TiO by Fluorination for Efficient and Selective CH Generation from CO Photoreduction.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO holds great promises for addressing both the environmental and energy issues that are facing the modern society. The major challenge of CO photoreduction into fuels such as methane or methanol is the low yield and poor selectivity. Here, we report an effective strategy to enhance the reduction potential of photoexcited electrons by fluorination of mesoporous single crystals of reduced TiO.
