Enhancing photocatalytic performance for H2O2 production and lignin CC bond cleavage via designing carbon nitride-based homojunction photocatalysts
Background
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a commonly used oxidant in the pulp industry. Compared with traditional anthraquinone technology, photocatalytic H2O2 production is a green and sustainable approach. However, the efficiency of photocatalytic H2O2 production restricts its development. Meanwhile, lignin is often emitted as waste, which not only pollutes the environment but also wastes resources. Photocatalytic cleavage of lignin CC bonds is an effective method to utilize lignin. However, the efficiency of lignin CC bond cleavage is an urgent problem to be solved. It is essential to improve the photocatalytic efficiency of the above two reactions to promote the value-added utilization of lignin in the pulp industry.
Methods
A series of carbon nitride homojunction photocatalysts SCN/CCN-X have been successfully synthesized through a competitive self-assembly strategy. Some characterization techniques and photoelectric analysis revealed the elemental composition, microstructure, and photoelectric properties of the prepared photocatalyst.
Significant Findings
The experimental findings revealed that the SCN/CCN-1.5 photocatalyst has the best photocatalytic performance for H2O2 production and lignin CC bond cleavage. SCN/CCN-1.5 offers the greatest photogenerated carrier separation efficiency and appropriate redox potential. Moreover, lignin CC bond cleavage and photocatalytic H2O2 production have a significant synergistic effect. When the lignin model 1, 2-diphenylethanol was added to a solvent mixture composed of water and acetonitrile (15:5 v/v), the photocatalytic H2O2 production rate increased by 13.1 times. Mechanistic studies have shown that photocatalytic H2O2 production follows an indirect reaction mechanism. Photocatalytic lignin CC bond cleavage conforms to the Cβ radical mechanism. The hydroxyl radicals produced by the photocatalytic decomposition of H2O2 promote the lignin CC bond cleavage.
