Abstract

Photocatalytic two-electron oxygen reduction to produce high-value hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is gaining popularity as a promising avenue of research. However, structural evolution mechanisms of catalytically active sites in the entire photosynthetic H 2 O 2 system remains unclear and seriously hinders the development of highly-active and stable H 2 O 2 photocatalysts. Herein, we report a high-loading Ni single-atom photocatalyst for efficient H 2 O 2 synthesis in pure water, achieving an apparent quantum yield of 10.9% at 420 nm and a solar-to-chemical conversion efficiency of 0.82%. Importantly, using in situ synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy we directly observe that initial Ni-N 3 sites dynamically transform into high-valent O 1-Ni-N 2 sites after O 2 adsorption and further evolve to form a key *OOH intermediate before finally forming HOO-Ni-N 2. Theoretical calculations and experiments further reveal that the evolution of the active sites structure reduces the formation energy barrier of *OOH and suppresses the O=O bond dissociation, leading to improved H 2 O 2 production activity and selectivity.

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.
