Efficient conversion of CO 2 to high value-added chemical products is a promising strategy for achieving carbon neutrality . Although the photocatalyst technique has been made widespread researched, highly efficient photoreduction CO 2 with metal-free photocatalysts remains a challenge. Herein, we report a zero-dimensional black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs)-decorated one-dimensional carbon nitride nanotubes (CNNT) photocatalyst that reduces CO 2 to CO with a rate of 44.6 μmol g –1 h –1 , which is better than the similar photocatalysts and pristine carbon nitride nanotubes . Synchrotron radiation XAFS measurements substantiate the construction of N-P electron transfer channels within BPQDs and CNNT. Time-resolved PL spectrum demonstrates the faster separated electron hole pairs . In situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirms the photogenerated-electron flow trend and the active site of photocatalytic reaction. Moreover, the main intermediate *COOH is verified by in situ FT-IR characterization which is corresponding to the previous research. The construction of atomic-level N-P charge transfer channel efficiently facilitates the charge transfer and accelerates the catalytic rate. This work provides a novel insight into the design of BPQDs-anchoring heterostructures for photocatalytic CO 2 reduction.
Understanding sulfur conversion chemistry is key to the development of sulfur-based high-energy-density batteries. However, unclear relationships between the electronic structure of the catalyst and its activity are the major problem. Here, we provide a direct correlation between the p electron gain of S in p -block metal sulfides and the apparent activation energies ( E a ) for the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR), in particular, Li 2 S n to Li 2 S conversion, which is the rate-determining step of the SRR. The maximum p charge occurs in bismuth sulfide and results in the lowest E a and a high SRR rate in the cathode. Li–S batteries with the Bi 2 S 3 catalyst work steadily at a high rate of 5.0C with a high-capacity retention of ~85% after 500 cycles. A high areal capacity of ~21.9 mAh cm −2 was obtained under a high sulfur loading of 17.6 mg cm −2 but a low electrolyte/sulfur ratio of 7.5 μl mg −1 .
