Abstract

Sunlight has long served as primary energy source on our planet, shaping the behavior of living organisms. Extensive research has been dedicated to unraveling the evolutionary pathways involved. When the formation of Earth atmosphere, it primarily consisted of small gas molecules, which are considered crucial for the emergence of life. Recent demonstrations have shown that these molecules can also be transformed into semiconductors, with the potential to harness solar energy and catalyze chemical reactions as photocatalysts. Building upon this research, this minireview focuses on the potential revolutionary impact of photocatalysis on Earth. Initially, it examines key reactions, such as the formation of prebiotic molecules and the oxygen evolution reaction via water oxidation. Additionally, various C−N complexes in photocatalysts are explored, showcasing their roles in catalyzing chemical reactions. The conclusion and outlook provide a potential pathway for the evolution of Earth, shedding light on the significance of metal-free photocatalysts in development of Earth.

地球演化过程中作为前生物和氧化学光催化剂的碳基和氮基复合物。
长期以来,阳光一直是我们星球上的主要能源,影响着生物的行为。大量研究致力于揭示其中的进化途径。地球大气形成时,主要由小气体分子组成,这些分子被认为是生命出现的关键。最近的研究表明,这些分子还可以转化为半导体,具有利用太阳能和作为光催化剂催化化学反应的潜力。在这项研究的基础上,本微型视图将重点关注光催化对地球的潜在革命性影响。首先,它研究了一些关键反应,如前生物分子的形成和通过水氧化进行的氧进化反应。此外,还探讨了光催化剂中的各种 C-N 复合物,展示了它们在催化化学反应中的作用。结论和展望提供了地球演化的潜在途径,阐明了无金属光催化剂在地球发展中的重要意义。
