Designing Defective Crystalline Carbon Nitride to Enable Selective CO2 Photoreduction in the Gas Phase

Xia, Pengfei, Antonietti, Markus, Zhu, Bicheng, Heil, Tobias, Yu, Jiaguo, Cao, Shaowen·2019·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

Polymeric carbon nitrides are promising photocatalysts for CO 2 photoreduction, but still show lower activity and selectivity. Herein, the synthesis of an ordered crystalline carbon nitride is reported which is simultaneously rich in special defects, accomplished via the co‐condensation of guanidine hydrochloride and dicyandiamide under acetonitrile‐promoted solvothermal conditions. The high crystallinity boosts charge migration, and the structural terminations with cyano and carboxyl groups result in the improvement of optical absorption, the ability to store charges at the surface, and CO 2 binding. The crystalline carbon nitride with surface defect design enables the effective gas‐phase CO 2 photoreduction into hydrocarbon fuels while oxidizing water to oxygen, at a rate of 12.07 µmol h−1 g−1 and a selectivity of 91.5%, both values of which are remarkably higher than those of most previous carbon nitride photocatalysts. This study highlights the preparation of defective crystalline carbon nitride using a low‐temperature solvothermal synthesis, as well as a resultant good selectivity toward hydrocarbons in the application of gas‐phase CO 2 photoreduction in the absence of any cocatalyst or sacrificial agent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
