Article Synopsis
  • - This study highlights the importance of efficient carrier separation and multiple nitrogen activation sites for nitrogen photo-fixation, specifically using BiOBr/TiO (BBTO) as a catalyst.
  • - BBTO exhibits reversible photochromism (changing from white to grey) due to electron deficiency in bismuth (Bi) created by light-induced electron trapping, which is enhanced by an internal electric field in its S-scheme heterojunction.
  • - The electron deficient Bi in BBTO improved carrier separation and allowed for better nitrogen adsorption, resulting in superior nitrogen photo-fixation activity (191 μmol g h), significantly higher than pure BiOBr and TiO.

The achievement of the outstanding theoretical capacitance of nickel sulfide (NiS ) is challenging due to its low conductivity, slow electrochemical kinetics, and poor structural stability. In this study, we utilize polyaniline (PANI) as a linker to anchor the NiS with a hollow bowl-like structure, uniformly dispersed at the surface of graphene oxide (GO)(NiS @15PG). The presence of PANI provides growth sites, resulting in a uniform and dense arrangement of NiS .

Construction of S-scheme heterojunction is an efficient strategy to enhance photocatalytic efficiency. Besides the retained redox ability, the wide work function gap and intimate interface contact are essential for efficient degradation. Nontoxic magnesium oxide (MgO) with two dimensional (2D) structures and high work function is a potential material for S-scheme photocatalysts.

High-performance nitrogen fixation is severely limited by the efficiency and selectivity of a catalyst of electrochemical nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions. Here, the RGO/WOCu (reduced graphene oxide and Cu-doping WO) composite catalysts with abundant oxygen vacancies are prepared by the hydrothermal method. The obtained RGO/WOCu achieves an enhanced NRR performance (NH yield rate:11.
