CsPbBr perovskite-based composites so far have been synthesized by postdeposition of CsPbBr on a parent material. However, construction offers enhanced surface contact, better activity, and improved stability. Instead of applying a typical thermal condensation at highly elevated temperatures, we report for the first time CsPb(Br Cl )/graphitic-CN (CsPbX/g-CN) composites synthesized by a simple and mild solvothermal route, with enhanced efficacy in visible-light-driven photocatalytic CO reduction. The composite exhibited a CO production rate of 28.5 μmol g h at an optimized loading amount of g-CN. This rate is about five times those of pure g-CN and CsPbBr. This work reports a new approach for constructing perovskite-based heterostructure photocatalysts with enhanced light-harvesting ability and improved solar energy conversion efficiency.

The design and synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with outstanding light-harvesting and photoexcitation for artificial photocatalytic CO reduction is an attractive but challenging task. In this work, a novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active ligand, tetraphenylpyrazine (PTTBPC) is proposed and utilized for the first time to construct a Zr-MOF photocatalyst via coordination with stable Zr-oxo clusters. Zr-MOF is featured by a scu topology with a two-fold interpenetrated framework, wherein the PTTBPC ligands enable strong light-harvesting and photoexcitation, while the Zr-oxo clusters facilitate CO adsorption and activation, as well as offer potential sites for further metal modification.

The local electric field (LEF) plays an important role in the catalytic process; however, the precise construction and manipulation of the electric field microenvironment around the active site remains a significant challenge. Here, we have developed a supramolecular strategy for the implementation of a LEF by introducing the host macrocycle 18-crown-6 (18C6) into a cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc)-containing covalent organic framework (COF). Utilizing the supramolecular interaction between 18C6 and potassium ion (K), a locally enhanced K concentration around CoPc can be built to generate a LEF microenvironment around the catalytically active Co site.

Photocatalytic reduction of CO will play a major role in future energy and environmental crisis. To investigate the adsorption mechanisms of CO and HO molecules involved in the catalytic process on the surface of anatase titanium dioxide 101 (TiO(101)) and the influence of Au atom doping on their adsorption, first-principles density functional theory calculations were used. The results show that 1.

In the field of solar energy storage, photocatalytic ammonia production is a next-generation technology. The rapid recombination of charges and insignificant utilization of the sunlight spectrum are bottlenecks of effective photocatalytic N fixation. The introduction of impurities in the crystal lattice and the development of heterojunctions could effectively segregate carriers and improve the solar-light-harvesting capability, which can boost NH generation.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) metals exhibit remarkable light-absorbing property and unique catalytic activity, attracting significant attention in photocatalysts recently. However, the practical application of plasmonic nanometal is hindered by challenge of energetic electrons extraction and low selectivity. The energetic carriers generated in nanometal under illumination have extremely short lifetimes, leading to rapid energy loss.
