A group of Chinese and Australian researchers offers a novel method for creating CdNCN-CdS heterostructures in mild conditions, advancing solar-driven photocatalysis for hydrogen production in a study ...

image: The surface charge state of co-catalyst plays an important role in photocatalysis. However, the regulation on surface charge state of co-catalysts especially by changing their microstructures ...

Water splitting research for solar hydrogen production has focused on physical processes inside the semiconductor, such as light absorption, charge separation, and chemical processes on the surface ...

Ruthenium-functionalized nanodiamonds generate powerful solvated electrons under visible light, bypassing the deep UV requirement that has limited diamond photocatalysis to laboratory settings.

It typically takes some dramatic chemistry to turn light hydrocarbons like methane and propane into molecules that can be used as something other than fuel. Making them into one useful class of ...
