Article Synopsis
  • Scientists found that tiny metal particles called nanoparticles can help make things work better when combined with special materials that use light (photocatalysts).
  • They created super small particles made of iron and platinum (FePt QDs) to make a new type of catalyst that can produce hydrogen more efficiently.
  • The research showed that the new catalyst remained stable even after being used several times, and it could be useful for making better energy sources in the future.

Since the intensification of global environmental pollution and energy shortages, photocatalytic CO reduction reaction (CORR) has emerged as a promising strategy to convert solar energy into clean chemical energy. Herein, we construct a robust and efficient heterojunction construction photocatalyst for CORR, composed of the highly reactive CeNi quantum dots (CeNi QDs) and nickel metal-organic layer (Ni-MOL) ultrathin nanosheets. This design facilitates the rapid separation of photogenerated charge carriers, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and other characterizations.
