Abstract
Developing highly efficient photocatalysts that selectively convert NO pollutants to NO3¯ while storing metabolic nitrogen for crops remains a great challenge. Simultaneously, there is a dearth of research investigating the relationship between the chemical environment and the activity of catalytic sites. Herein, an efficient impregnation approach to access atomically dispersed Sr single atoms supported on Nb2O5 is reported; meanwhile, various ligands (-Cl, -Br, -OH) are employed to customize the local structure. The results show that Cl-Sr/Nb2O5 exhibits excellent catalytic performance in eliminating NO, which is significantly superior to other catalysts. The introduction of Sr atom and ligand increases the energy barrier of NO2 formation, thus improving the selectivity of converting NO to NO3¯. This study highlights the importance of precisely designing the catalytic site at the atomic level, and the obtained insights may serve as a valuable guide for developing future catalyst designs.
开发高效光催化剂,选择性地将 NO 污染物转化为 NO3',同时为农作物储存代谢氮,仍然是一项巨大的挑战。与此同时,有关化学环境与催化位点活性之间关系的研究也十分匮乏。本文报告了一种高效的浸渍方法,以获得支撑在 Nb2O5 上的原子分散的 Sr 单原子;同时,还采用了各种配体(-Cl、-Br、-OH)来定制局部结构。结果表明,Cl-Sr/Nb2O5 在消除 NO 方面表现出优异的催化性能,明显优于其他催化剂。Sr 原子和配体的引入增加了 NO2 形成的能垒,从而提高了将 NO 转化为 NO3¯ 的选择性。这项研究强调了在原子水平上精确设计催化位点的重要性,所获得的见解可作为开发未来催化剂设计的宝贵指导。
