Photoelectrocatalytic water splitting to produce hydrogen has great potential for industrial applications. Herein, Pt/CN-NVs was prepared as a photoanode, its photoelectrocatalytic hydrogen generation rate reached 717.82 μmol g h under 300 W Xenon lamp illumination when the bias voltage was 1.23 V ( RHE), and the photocurrent density remained stable for 24 h. This work demonstrated that the CN-based photocatalysts have good photostability and prospects for industrial applications.

The interfacial proton transfer (PT) reaction on the metal oxide surface is an important step in many chemical processes including photoelectrocatalytic water splitting, dehydrogenation, and hydrogen storage. The investigation of the PT process, in terms of thermodynamics and kinetics, has received considerable attention, but the individual free energy barriers and solvent effects for different PT pathways on rutile oxide are still lacking. Here, by applying a combination of ab initio and deep potential molecular dynamics methods, we have studied interfacial PT mechanisms by selecting the rutile SnO(110)/HO interface as an example of an oxide with the characteristic of frequently interfacial PT processes.

Approximately 2 billion people still lack access to clean drinking water. Extensive efforts are underway to develop semiconductor photocatalysts for water disinfection and environmental remediation, but conventional liquid-solid diphase interfacial photocatalysts face challenges like low diffusion coefficients and limited solubility of dissolved oxygen. This study introduces freestanding copper oxide fluffy pine needle structures (CO-FPNs) with tunable water pollutants-gas-solid (WGS) triple-phase interfaces that enhance oxygen enrichment and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production.

ConspectusThe surface of a catalyst is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of catalytic reactions at the molecular level and developing new catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, and durability. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) is a technique studying the surface of a sample in the gas phase, mainly identifying chemical identity, analyzing oxidation state, and measuring surface composition.In the last decade, numerous photoelectron spectroscopic methods for fundamental studies of key topics in catalysis using AP-XPS have been developed.

Currently, lack of ways to engineer specific and well-defined active sites in zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs) limits our fundamental knowledge with respect to the mechanistic details for (photo)electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here, we introduce the open metal sites into ZIFs through the selective ligand removal (SeLiRe) strategy, comprehensively characterize the altered structural and electronic features, and evaluate their role in HER. In situ electrochemical analysis and X-ray absorption spectroscopy reveal the formation of high-valence HO-Zn-N sites through the binding of Zn-N with electrolyte hydroxide.
