Abstract
The photocatalysis of direct dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde is an energy saving way to synthesize fine chemicals and pure hydrogen by using solar energy. The CdS-based catalysts were one of the typical kinds of photocatalysts for this reaction. The morphology of CdS could be easily tuned, which could greatly influence the photocatalytic performances. However, the morphology effect of CdS on the photocatalytic behaviour of the direct dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol has not been investigated yet. In this work, we synthesized CdS with two different morphologies (nanosheet (NS) and nanowire (NW)) and found the CdS-NS showed much higher photocatalytic activity for converting the benzyl alcohol than the CdS-NW, but the selectivity to benzaldehyde over the two supports was very low. By depositing Au25 nanoclusters on the CdS-NW and CdS-NS, the morphology effect of the CdS support could be mitigated and their catalytic activity and selectivity could be greatly boosted for the photocatalytic anaerobic dehydrogenation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde and H2. The results of this work would provide new insight into the design of efficient photocatalysts for synthesizing fine chemicals.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology (Ranliao Huaxue Xuebao) is a Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS) journal started in 1956, sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). The journal is published bimonthly by Science Press in China and widely distributed in about 20 countries. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology publishes reports of both basic and applied research in the chemistry and chemical engineering of many energy sources, including that involved in the nature, processing and utilization of coal, petroleum, oil shale, natural gas, biomass and synfuels, as well as related subjects of increasing interest such as C1 chemistry, pollutions control and new catalytic materials. Types of publications include original research articles, short communications, research notes and reviews. Both domestic and international contributors are welcome. Manuscripts written in Chinese or English will be accepted. Additional English titles, abstracts and key words should be included in Chinese manuscripts. All manuscripts are subject to critical review by the editorial committee, which is composed of about 10 foreign and 50 Chinese experts in fuel science. Journal of Fuel Chemistry and Technology has been a source of primary research work in fuel chemistry as a Chinese core scientific periodical.
