Abstract

The photofixation and utilization of CO 2 via single-electron mechanism is considered to be a clean and green way to produce high-value-added commodity chemicals with long carbon chains. However, this topic has not been fully explored for the highly negative reduction potential in the formation of reactive carbonate radical. Herein, by taking Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets as a model system, we illustrate that oxygen vacancies confined in atomic layers can lower the adsorption energy of CO 2 on the reactive sites, and thus activate CO 2 by single-electron transfer in mild conditions. As demonstrated, Bi 2 O 3 nanosheets with rich oxygen vacancies show enhanced generation of •CO 2– species during the reaction process and achieve a high conversion yield of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with nearly 100% selectivity in the presence of methanol. This study establishes a practical way for the photofixation of CO 2 to long-chain chemicals via defect engineering.

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.
