In this study, we integrated the characteristics of oxygen doping and heterojunctions into oxygen-doped g-C₃N₄/BiOCl/Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀ (OCN/BiOCl/Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀) using a straightforward impregnation-calcination method. Oxygen doping disrupts the symmetric atomic arrangement in pure-phase samples, optimizing the electronic configuration of active sites at the reaction interface and enhancing the coupling between anions and cations. The introduction of BiOCl, which offers an excellent coordination environment, in conjunction with Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀, creates a dual-S heterojunction. This structure establishes dual reaction interfaces that facilitate efficient dual electron ’transport channels,’ promoting the rapid transfer of charge carriers among OCN, BiOCl, and Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀. Experimental results demonstrate that the OCN/BiOCl/Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀ heterojunction material achieves a degradation efficiency of 96.1 % for 10 mg·L⁻¹ levofloxacin under visible light. Notably, in situ measurements obtained through Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations jointly reveal a unique chemical environment and electronic structure arising from the formation of an internal electric field among OCN, BiOCl, and Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀, thereby providing enhanced pathways for the migration of photogenerated charge carriers. Furthermore, the heterostructure significantly reduces the transport distance of photogenically induced charges and decreases internal transport resistance, thereby improving the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs. This mechanism is crucial for the markedly enhanced photocatalytic degradation performance of OCN, BiOCl, and Bi₂₄O₃₁Cl₁₀ materials. In summary, this work explores the synergistic effects among multiple modifications, providing insights for the precise design of efficient and stable photocatalytic degradation systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Catalysis","volume":"446 ","pages":"Article 116055"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143538347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, in a typical flow reactor, catalyst oxidation is likely to occur only at the reactor inlet. However, the oxidized zone can slowly propagate along the reactor and impact the catalyst stability. The adsorption of oxygen was stronger on BaO-promoted Co in comparison to pristine Co.

However, the efficiency of CO₂ photo reduction is severely depressed by the rapid recombination of photo generated carriers within photo catalysts, restricting the participation of electrons in the reduction process. In this study, we successfully construct a two-dimensional (2D) multilayer internal electric field (IEF) heterostructure by engineering the interface between NiAl-LDH and ZnV₂O₆ (ZNA). Driven by the IEF, the separation of photo generated electron-hole pairs is significantly enhanced, leading to the increased utilization efficiency of carriers for active sites. The best-performing sample of ZNA-2 achieves a highest CO yield of 695.8 μmol g⁻¹, approximately 30.5-fold higher than that of pristine ZnV₂O₆. Photo electrochemical measurement and density functional theory (DFT) calculation results reveal that the 2D-2D stacked structure generates multiple interlayer built-in electric fields, which are crucial for enhancing carrier separation and suppressing recombination. Adsorption energy and intermediate COOH* analysis reveal that ZNA-2 significantly lowers the adsorption energy of CO₂, promoting its stable adsorption and subsequent conversion. Moreover, the unique 2D multilayer IEF heterostructure greatly facilitates the formation of key intermediate COOH* and the desorption of CO during CO₂ photo reduction, leading to high CO activity and selectivity.

The reaction kinetics and the role of the support in the release of H₂ from AB in methanol solvent were studied using a series of Ru nanoparticle catalysts on various supports (SiO₂, carbon, γ-Al₂O₃, and TiO₂). Catalysts were synthesized using incipient wetness impregnation and solution deposition (SD) methods and characterized using N₂ physisorption, X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, CO diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The reaction kinetics were examined by measuring initial rates using a semi-batch reactor with a constant flow through the headspace analyzed by online mass spectrometry. The Ru/TiO₂-SD and Ru/C catalysts had the highest measured initial rates compared to the Ru/SiO₂ and Ru/Al₂O₃. Measured apparent activation energies were relatively similar between all catalysts. Regression of initial rates as a function of AB concentration was done for two different rate equations derived from two different proposed mechanisms for AB methanolysis. Both mechanisms were able to sufficiently describe trends in H₂ formation rate versus concentration at low AB concentrations. However, determination of which of the two proposed mechanisms best captures the trends in the data trends was inconclusive due to the lack of a statistically significant difference between degree-of-fit of the two models. Stability tests showed that Ru/C was less prone to deactivation over repeated use compared to Ru supported on the oxides. This study presents a comprehensive examination of the kinetics of AB methanolysis on different supported Ru catalysts; analysis of reaction mechanisms on all catalysts revealed similar apparent first order rate constants from either proposed kinetic models.
