In situ XPS data for the uranyl-modified oxides under visible light.

ABSTRACT: The silica, alumina, ceria, and titania supports were modified with uranyl ions (5?wt%) and investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The data show the U4f photoelectron spectra and charge state of uranium for uranyl ions deposited on different supports. The additional in situ XPS experiments with simultaneous irradiation of the sample using a 450?nm light-emitting diode were performed, and the XPS spectra, revealing a partial reduction of uranium under visible irradiation, are presented. The data show the effect of support material on the chemical states of uranium and oxygen on the surface of uranyl-modified oxides under visible light.

Direct visible-light-induced synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphine oxides under air conditions.

Project description:Over the past two decades, visible-light-induced transformations have been regarded as being among the most environmentally benign and powerful strategies for constructing complex molecules and diverse synthetic building blocks in organic synthesis. However, the development of efficient photochemical processes for assembling enantiomerically pure molecules remains a significant challenge. Herein, we describe a simple and efficient visible-light-induced C-P bond forming reaction for the synthesis of P-chiral heteroaryl phosphine oxides in moderate to high yields with excellent ee values (97-99% ee). Even in the absence of transition metal or photoredox catalysts, a variety of P-chiral heteroaryl phosphine oxides, including chiral diphosphine oxide 41, have been directly obtained under air conditions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have shown that the reaction involves intersystem crossing and single electron transfer to give a diradical intermediate under visible light irradiation.

Dual-defect-modified graphitic carbon nitride with boosted photocatalytic activity under visible light.

Project description:The development of photocatalysts that efficiently degrade organic pollutants is an important environmental-remediation objective. To that end, we report a strategy for the ready fabrication of oxygen-doped graphitic carbon nitride (CN) with engendered nitrogen deficiencies. The addition of KOH and oxalic acid during the thermal condensation of urea led to a material that exhibits a significantly higher pseudo-first-order rate constant for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) (0.0225 min-1) compared to that of CN (0.00222 min-1). The enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of BPA exhibited by the dual-defect-modified CN (Bt-OA-CN) is ascribable to a considerable red-shift in its light absorption compared to that of CN, as well as its modulated energy band structure and more-efficient charge separation. Furthermore, we confirmed that the in-situ-formed cyano groups in the Bt-OA-CN photocatalyst act as strong electron-withdrawing groups that efficiently separate and transfer photo-generated charge carriers to the surface of the photocatalyst. This study provides novel insight into the in-situ dual-defect strategy for g-C3N4, which is extendable to the modification of other photocatalysts; it also introduces Bt-OA-CN as a potential highly efficient visible-light-responsive photocatalyst for use in environmental-remediation applications.

The Uranyl Cation as a Visible-Light Photocatalyst for C(sp(3) )-H Fluorination.

Project description:The fluorination of unactivated C(sp(3) )-H bonds remains a desirable and challenging transformation for pharmaceutical, agricultural, and materials scientists. Previous methods for this transformation have used bench-stable fluorine atom sources; however, many still rely on the use of UV-active photocatalysts for the requisite high-energy hydrogen atom abstraction event. Uranyl nitrate hexahydrate is described as a convenient, hydrogen atom abstraction catalyst that can mediate fluorinations of certain alkanes upon activation with visible light.

3D Urchin-Like CuO Modified W18O49 Nanostructures for Promoted Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution under Visible Light Irradiation.

Project description:Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution is a promising" green chemistry" route driven by sunlight for the direct water splitting into value-added hydrogen energy. Herein, with the object of exploring the effect of CuO loading on W18O49 photocatalytic activity, a 3D Urchin-like CuO modified W18O49 (CuO/W18O49) microspheres with different CuO loadings were synthesized via thermochemical precipitation combined with solvent-thermal method. The obtained CuO/W18O49 microspheres were analyzed by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and photoluminescence (PL), etc. The results infer that the urchin-like 3D morphology with a high surface area and abundant 1D nanowires promotes electron transfer, the introduction of CuO further increases the number of active sites, thereby ensuring fast interfacial charge transfer to improve photocatalytic performance. During photocatalytic H2 evolution from water splitting, 5 wt.% CuO/W18O49 shows the optimal performance, the H2 yield is almost 3.22 times that of the undoped counterparts. This work presents that oxygen-vacancy-rich heterojunction nanocomposites can be used as a new strategy to design materials with high photocatalytic activity.

In Situ Preparation of CoP@CdS and Its Catalytic Activity toward Controlling Nitro Reduction under Visible-Light Irradiation.

Project description:CoP was synthesized in situ on the surface of CdS nanowires using a cobalt-ammine complex as a precursor. The generated CoP@CdS photocatalyst was well characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, selected-area electron diffraction, and diffuse reflectance spectra. A more efficient charge transfer was successfully achieved owing to the close contact between CoP and CdS. The hybrid photocatalyst showed excellent activity for the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding anilines or azobenzene compounds in water. In present work, hydrogen evolution and nitro reduction were concurrent and with the consumption of substrate, the rate of hydrogen evolution increased. The driving force for the reduction originated from the activated hydrogen species in the photocatalytic reaction rather than from dihydrogen. The photocatalytic activity of as-prepared CoP@CdS in situ is comparable to that of the catalysts formed using a noble metal loaded onto CdS. Mechanistic investigation showed that the condensation route is the major pathway for nitro reduction in the present system, and azo compounds could be obtained with less irradiation time, while aniline will be obtained via long-time irradiation.

Engineering of Ni(OH)2 Modified Two-Dimensional ZnIn2S4 Heterostructure for Boosting Hydrogen Evolution under Visible Light Illumination.

Project description:Developing efficient catalysts to produce clean fuel by using solar energy has long been the goal to mitigate the issue of traditional fossil fuel scarcity. In this work, we design a heterostructure photocatalyst by employing two green components, Ni(OH)2 and ZnIn2S4, for efficient photocatalytic H2 evolution under the illumination of visible light. After optimization, the obtained photocatalyst exhibits an H2 evolution rate at 0.52 mL h-1 (5 mg) (i.e., 4640 μmol h-1 g-1) under visible light illumination. Further investigations reveal that such superior activity is originated from the efficient charge separation due to the two-dimensional (2D) structure of ZnIn2S4 and existing high-quality heterojunction.

Improved in Situ Synthesis of Heterostructured 2D/2D BiOCl/g-C3N4 with Enhanced Dye Photodegradation under Visible-Light Illumination.

Project description:A simple, in situ, and one-pot hydrothermal strategy was applied for the successful manufacturing of heterostructured 2D/2D BiOCl/g-C3N4 photocatalysts, and outstanding photodegradation of Rhodamine B in the condition of visible-light irradiation over the composites emerged. The investigation of various BiOCl/g-C3N4 ratios influencing the activity implied that the optimized B2C1 (mole ratio of BiOCl/g-C3N4 with 2:1) exhibited the higher degradation efficiency than that of the rest of the composites, even higher than that of pure BiOCl and pure g-C3N4, which yielded over 90% in the initial 30 min and reached almost 100% during the whole 70 min irradiation process. Kinds of characterizations demonstrated that the enhancement of photodegradation performance was caused by the intimate contact between BiOCl and g-C3N4 to form the heterostructure, which could benefit the generation of abundant visible-light photoinduced carriers and help enhance their separation and then promote their transportation to the surface.

Degenerative xanthate transfer to olefins under visible-light photocatalysis.

Project description:The degenerative transfer of xanthates to olefins is enabled by the iridium-based photocatalyst [Ir{dF(CF3)ppy}2(dtbbpy)](PF6) under blue LED light irradiation. Detailed mechanistic investigations through kinetics and photophysical studies revealed that the process operates under a radical chain mechanism, which is initiated through triplet-sensitization of xanthates by the long-lived triplet state of the iridium-based photocatalyst.

Into the Blue: Ketene Multicomponent Reactions under Visible Light.

Project description:For the first time, a detailed study on the photophysical properties of variously substituted diazoketones and on their photoreactivity under blue LED irradiation was carried out. Despite very limited absorbance in the visible region, we have demonstrated that, independently from their structure, α-diazoketones all undergo a very efficient Wolff rearrangement. Contrarily to the same UV-mediated reaction, where photons can give rise to side processes, in this case, almost all absorbed photons are selective and effective, and the quantum yield is close to 100%. If the rearrangement is carried out in the presence of isocyanides and carboxylic acids/silanols, the photoreactivity is not affected, and the resulting ketenes can afford α-acyloxy- and α-silyloxyacrylamides through two distinct multicomponent reactions, performed both in batch and under continuous flow, with improved selectivity and broader scope. These photoinduced multicomponent reactions can be coupled with other visible-light-mediated transformations, thus increasing the diversity of the molecules obtainable by this approach.

Copper-Modified Titania-Based Photocatalysts for the Efficient Hydrogen Production under UV and Visible Light from Aqueous Solutions of Glycerol.

Project description:In this study, we have proposed titania-based photocatalysts modified with copper compounds for hydrogen evolution. Thermal pre-treatment of commercial TiO2 Degussa P25 (DTiO2) and Hombifine N (HTiO2) in the range from 600 to 800 °C was carried out followed by the deposition of copper oxides (1-10 wt. % of Cu). The morphology and chemical state of synthesized photocatalysts were studied using X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and XANES/EXAFS X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Photocatalytic activity was tested in the hydrogen evolution from aqueous solutions of glycerol under ultraviolet (λ = 381 nm) and visible (λ = 427 nm) light. The photocatalysts 2% CuOx/DTiO2 T750 and 5% CuOx/DTiO2 T700 showed the highest activity under UV irradiation (λ = 380 nm), with the rate of H2 evolution at the level of 2.5 mmol (H2) g-1 h-1. Under the visible light irradiation (λ = 427 nm), the highest activity of 0.6 mmol (H2) g-1 h-1 was achieved with the 5% CuOx/DTiO2 T700 photocatalyst. The activity of these photocatalysts is 50% higher than that of the platinized 1% Pt/DTiO2 sample. Thus, it was shown for the first time that a simple heat treatment of a commercial titanium dioxide in combination with a deposition of non-noble metal particles led to a significant increase in the activity of photocatalysts and made it possible to obtain materials that were active in hydrogen production under visible light irradiation.
