Oxygen Vacant Semiconductor Photocatalysts

Hao, Lin, Huang, Hongwei, Zhang, Yihe, Ma, Tianyi·2021·Advanced Functional Materials

Abstract

Semiconductor photocatalysis acts as a sustainable green technology to convert solar energy for environmental purification and production of renewable energy. However, the current photocatalysts suffer from inefficient photoabsorption, rapid recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, and inadequate surface reactive sites. Introduction of oxygen vacancies (OVs) in photocatalysts has been demonstrated to be an efficacious strategy to solve these issues and improve photocatalytic efficiency. This review systematically summarizes the recent progress in the oxygen vacant semiconductor photocatalysts. Firstly, the formation and characterizations of OVs in semiconductor photocatalysts are briefly introduced. Then, highlighted are the roles of OVs in the photocatalytic reactions of three types of typical oxygen‐containing semiconductors, including metal oxides (TiO 2, ZnO, WO 3, W 18 O 49, MoO 3, BiO 2‐x, SnO 2, etc), hydroxides (In(OH)3, Ln(OH)3 (Ln=La, Pr, and Nd), Layered double hydroxides) and oxysalts (bismuth‐based oxysalts and others) photocatalysts. Moreover, the advanced photocatalytic applications of oxygen vacant semiconductor photocatalysts, such as pollutant removal, H 2 production, CO 2 reduction, N 2 fixation and organic synthesis are systematically summarized. Finally, an overview on the current challenges and a prospective on the future of oxygen vacant materials is proposed.

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.
