主 题:N_(2) photofixation TiO_(2) Nitrate photosynthesis Cu species NO_(x),intermediates
摘 要:Nitrate products are widely used in manufacturing as crucial raw materials and *** traditional nitrate synthesis process involves high energy consumption and emission,thereby opposing the goals of zero-carbon emission and green ***,a sustainable roadmap for nitrate synthesis that uses green energy input,clean N sources,and direct catalytic processes is urgently required(e.g.,developing a novel photosynthesis system).Here,we synthesized TiO2-supported atomically dispersed Cu species for N_(2)photofixation to nitrate in a flow *** optimized photocatalyst yielded a high nitrate photosynthesis rate of 0.93μmol h-1 and selectivity of~90%,which is superior to most of the values reported thus ***,experimental results and in-situ investigations revealed that the atomically dispersed Cu sites in the as-designed sample significantly enhanced the separation and transfer efficiency of photogenerated carriers,adsorption and activation of reactants,and the formation of chemisorbed O_(x)intermediates,thereby realizing the excellent photofixation of N_(2)to nitrate.
