Rational fabricating advanced photocatalysts to recycle CO 2 into solar fuel is one of the most promising approaches to simultaneously address energy shortages and global warming. TiO 2 has been widely used in photocatalytic CO 2 reduction due to its abundant reserves, non-toxicity and harmlessness etc. However, it remains significantly challenging for practical applications due to the fast electron-hole recombination. Herein, we design a direct TiO 2 based Z-Scheme heterojunction by self-assembly of C-doped TiO 2 nanoparticles on 3D hierarchical petal of flower-like β-Bi 2 O 3 (C-TiO 2 /β-Bi 2 O 3 ). In situ electron paramagnetic resonance tests, in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations reveal that electrons are transferred from β-Bi 2 O 3 to C-TiO 2 due to the formation of Z-Scheme heterojunction, which greatly accelerates the separation of photogenerated carriers to promote efficient CO 2 photoreduction. Ultimately, the optimal heterojunction shows significantly enhanced photocatalytic activity for CO 2 reduction to CO (31.07 μmol g –1 h −1 ) compared to the pure TiO 2 (3.28 μmol g –1 h −1 ) without using any photosensitizers and sacrificial agents. This work provides a unique insight to design direct Z-Scheme heterojunctions and delivers a promising photocatalyst for overcoming global warming and energy-supply issues.

Antibacterial modification of polymers with potent biocides via an efficient and universal approach is very desirable in both academia and industry. A polysiloxane with both quaternary ammonium and N-chloramine was prepared via a facile three-step synthetic route. Poly(methylhydrosiloxane) (PMHS) was first reacted with 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate to introduce an ending tertiary amine that was subsequently quaternized with 3-(3-chloropropyl)-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (CPDMH). The 5,5-dimethylhydantoin moiety was then transformed into its N-chloramine counterparts by chlorination with tert-butyl hypochlorite to produce quaternary ammonium (quat)/N-chloramine polysiloxane. The CO2-philic quat/N-chloramine polysiloxane was interpenetrated into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) and formed a 70 nm biocidal layer. The synthetic procedures and interpenetration results were characterized with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 1H NMR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectrocsopy (XPS). The incorporation of quaternary ammonium and N-chloramine exhibited improved synergetic biocidal performance against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, providing a complete kill of a 7-log reduction of both species within a contact time of 10 min. The polysiloxane interpenetration layer was stable and the rechargeability of lost chlorine was good when the layer was subjected to repeated washing, storage, and UV irradiation. This modification procedure uses ecologically responsible CO2 as solvent and is expected to be applicable to substrates of other chemistry since it does not rely on chemical linkage.

We propose a novel and cyclic synthetic approach for controlling crystal polymorphs of CaCO3 by using green CO2-responsive switchable solvents which acted as both the CO2 capturer for the carbonate source and the polymorphisms director. Five solvents were employed, and various reaction conditions such as calcium resources, calcium concentration, reaction temperature, and reaction time were investigated. Results show that this developed framework permits producing any crystalline CaCO3 phases including metastable vaterite and aragonite in pure phases by selecting a suitable solvent and adjustment of the reaction conditions. Furtherly, the mechanism study demonstrates that the solvents attach on the surface of the primary nanoparticles to selectively control and direct the growth of any specific polymorph phases. Eventually, the nuclei are self-assembled into an oriented geometry, allowing the growth and stability of specific crystals; as such, spherical vaterite, rods, and shuttle-like aragonite crystals can be obtained. This new configuration would be an appropriate and an efficient method to apply to large-scale production, therefore, a promising process attributed to complete solvent recovery and regeneration of the initial reactants, thus being an environmentally risk-free route.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction (ECR) is a promising approach to realize carbon neutral and energy sustainability , which is still impeded by the low selectivity and activity for application. Defect engineering of electrocatalysts , especially oxygen vacancy introduction into metal oxide materials has been proved to be an effective strategy to satisfy thermodynamic condition and improve kinetics for ECR. Herein, we synthesize oxygen vacancy-enriched ZnO nanoparticle catalysts for efficient ECR through electrospinning technique using particular precursor. Characterizations reveal that the utilization of Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 precursor contributes to the generation of oxygen vacancies in ZnO catalysts which enhances CO 2 adsorption and stabilizes the intermediate. In a flow cell configuration, a current density of 150 mA cm −2 and a CO Faradic efficiency > 80% can be obtained for ZnO nanoparticle catalysts (p-ZnO-800), which is meaningful for industry.

Abstract Efficient catalysts play an important role in photoreduction of greenhouse gases (CO 2 etc.) to value-added chemicals such as CO. In this work, we synthesized a series of Ni 1−x Co x WO 4 (x = 0–1) catalysts by chemical co-deposition method. Among the prepared materials, Ni 0.85 Co 0.15 WO 4 exhibits superior catalytic performance for photocatalytic reduction of CO 2 to CO with [Ru(bpy) 3 ]Cl 2 ·6H 2 O as the photosensitizer. The productivity and selectivity of CO are 14.33 mmol g −1 h −1 and 86.4%, respectively under visible light irradiation. The experimental results demonstrate that superiority of electron conductivity of metal tungstates and the high activity of Co active sites facilitate the separation and transfer of photo-induced charges and lead to the excellent performance of photcatalytic reduction of CO 2 to CO. Graphic Abstract Ni 0.85 Co 0.15 WO 4 ,

Developing inexpensive co-catalysts for photo-thermal synergistic catalysis by artificially inducing active sites on non-noble metal compounds has drawn much attention recently. In this work, oxygen-deficient molybdenum oxide (MoO3−x) was in situ photodeposited on the surface of graphite-like carbon nitride (g-C3N4) to tremendously improve its photocatalytic activity for CO2 conversion. A series of characterization analyses divulged that the MoO3−x not only promoted the separation of photo-generated charge carriers, but also served as the active sites for the adsorption and activation of CO2 molecules. More importantly, the oxygen-vacancy defect sites of MoO3−x can trigger localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that enables effective harnessing of near-infrared (NIR) photons, promoting photo-thermal synergistic catalytic conversion of CO2 into value-added fuels through full solar spectrum harnessing.

A newly Zn-doped ZIF-67 has been synthesized in water at room temperature for the first time without the aid of any organic solvent. The textural and physical properties of the material were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), N 2 adsorption-desorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and ICP-AES. The catalyst showed quantitative conversions and selectivity for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates starting from epoxides and carbon dioxide. Compared with different reported MOFs as heterogeneous catalysts used for the cycloaddition of carbon dioxide to epoxides, this catalyst outperforms all the reported ones till now. The coupling reaction was studied at different pressures and temperatures applying different epoxide substrates. Additionally, no co-catalyst and solvent were required to obtain excellent conversions. The heterogeneous nature of the catalyst was maintained at least up to four catalytic cycles with a slight loss of activity.

A novel fluorescence chemosensor based on 2,6-dicarbonylpyridine was designed and synthesized and its photophysical properties were characterized. Upon coordination of Co2+ by the central 2,6-dicarbonylpyridinyl functional group, the chemosensor 2,6-bis(4-diphenylamino-styrylcarbonyl)pyridine (PhPy) showed nearly complete fluorescence quenching, while no fluorescence response was seen towards other competing cations. The experimental results show the chemosensor is highly selective and sensitive towards Co2+ in the presence of competing ions, even in the ppb range. Job plot analysis was carried out and the results suggested that the binding of PhPy and Co2+ was probably a 2 : 1 stoichiometry.

Acidic substances (naphthenic acids) were found in crude oil, which provides favorable conditions for the formation of surfactants. N,N-Dimethylcyclohexylamine (DMCHA) can activate the naphthenic acid in the crude oil to form the surfactant by noncovalent bonding. This process has an unusual meaning for the crude oil pipelines transportation by the method of forming a low-viscosity oil-in-water emulsion. At the same time, CO2 can be used as a demulsifier to separate crude oil and water at the end of pipeline transportation because the surfactant has a CO2 stimulus response characteristic. In our study, it was found that crude oil-in-water emulsion can be formed and has very good stability. CO2 has a high demulsification efficiency in emulsions with lower crude oil content. For high oil content conditions, the emulsion cannot be demulsified completely by CO2. Since sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and the like are liquid and corrosive, this is not conducive to its application as a demulsifier in crude oil pipeline transportation. Organic acids in this area have a stronger advantage obviously, so citric acid, oxalic acid, acetic acid, and lactic acid were used as demulsifiers in this article; all of them have good demulsification performance in high crude oil content emulsions, especially citric acid. Meanwhile, DMCHA can be recycled and reused by adding NaOH to the lower aqueous solution after demulsification.

Integrated carbon capture and utilization by methanation (ICCU-methanation) is an emerging concept in reducing CO 2 emissions and storing H 2 simultaneously. One key of the technology is the development of dual functional materials (DFMs) that can efficiently capture CO 2 and then catalyze it. Herein, we propose the construction of DFM using Li 4 SiO 4 with superior CO 2 adsorption/desorption features as sorbent and catalyst carrier, CeO 2 as catalyst promoter and isolator, and Ni as catalytic metal, and comprehensively evaluate its characteristics and performance in ICCU-methanation. Results show that the DFM developed possess a high and stable CO 2 capacity of 5.4 mmol·g DFM -1 , 96 % CO 2 conversion and 96 % CH 4 selectivity under both the ideal CO 2 capturing atmosphere and the realistic flue gas containing 10 vol% steam and 8 vol% O 2 . Moreover, rapid CO 2 dissociation from the DFM is observed at a temperature lower to 560 °C due to the reaction of H* dissociated by catalyst with carbonate to form formate, which further decomposes to release CO.

Hyper-crosslinked polymers (HCPs) are a category of porous materials with the high specific surface area, abundant pore canal, and tunable structure. A very challenging topic is to fabricate ion-pair active sites into the skeleton structure of HCPs, which can endow HCPs with specific CO 2 separation and catalytic characters. In this work, a series of hyper-crosslinked polymers with the high specific surface area and tunable ion-pair active sites are fabricated by using a one-pot method with simultaneous quaternization and Friedel-Crafts reactions. These ion-pair-containing hyper-crosslinked polymers (IHCPs) are served as adsorbents for selective separation of CO 2 from CH 4 and N 2 . It is found that CO 2 uptake of IHCP-2 reaches 2.87 mmol·g −1 at 273 K and 1 bar, which is higher than that of the same type of ionic polymers that have been reported in the literature. The high CO 2 adsorption capacity is due to the abundant microporous and high specific surface area of as-prepared IHCPs. More importantly, these IHCPs can also be used as recyclable catalysts for cycloaddition of CO 2 and epoxides under metal- and cocatalyst-free conditions, affording corresponding cyclic carbonates in excellent yields. The high catalytic activity is attributed to synergistic contributions of the hierarchical pores and nucleophilic ion pair’s structure. This research provides an alternative strategy for development of bifunctional function materials towards efficient CO 2 capture and conversion.

Electrochemical CO 2 reduction reaction (ECO 2 RR) offers an eco-friendly way to produce value-added products by utilizing the waste CO 2 from the environment. Recently, amines have been utilized as electrolytes for direct conversion of CO 2 but processes were energy-intensive and lack selectivity due to the formation of highly stable carbamate. 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) is a sterically hindered amine , produces less stable carbamate, and generates more HCO 3 − . Herein, ECO 2 RR performance using AMP aqueous solution as electrolyte was investigated over Ag, Cu, and Zn metal electrodes. Ultimately, 91 ± 7% CO selectivity on HCl modified polycrystalline Ag electrode at −0.91 V vs RHE in 1 M AMP aqueous solution in the presence of CTAB was achieved, 1.7 times greater than in 1 M aqueous ethanolamine (MEA) solution. Synergetic effects of unstable AMP-carbamate, generation of nano-agglomerates on pitted/porous Ag surface arising from HCl treatment, and a compact electrical double layer due to CTAB present are responsible for the high selectivity of CO. Our findings provide the understanding of electrode-electrolyte interactions and offer a facile strategy to directly convert CO 2 to CO from CO 2 capture solutions.
