Journal ArticleDOI
Unique Solvent Effects on Visible-Light CO2 Reduction over Ruthenium(II)-Complex/Carbon Nitride Hybrid Photocatalysts.
TL;DR: This study demonstrated the first successful example of an energy conversion scheme using carbon nitride through photocatalytic CO2 reduction, and polymeric Ru species, which were formed in situ from RuCP on C3N4 under irradiation in a solvent having a high donor number, were active catalysts for CO formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Formic Acid Production via CO2 Reduction with Visible Light Using a Hybrid of a Perovskite Tantalum Oxynitride and a Binuclear Ruthenium(II) Complex
TL;DR: Results of photocatalytic reactions, spectroscopic measurements, and electron microscopy observations indicated that the reaction was driven according to a two-step photoexcitation of CaTaO2N and the Ru photosensitizer unit, where Ag nanoparticles loaded on CaTa O2N with optimal distribution mediated interfacial electron transfer due to reductive quenching.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of ruthenium oxide nanocluster as a cocatalyst with (Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx) for photocatalytic overall water splitting
Kentaro Teramura,Kazuhiko Maeda,Takafumi Saito,Tsuyoshi Takata,Nobuo Saito,Yasunobu Inoue,Kazunari Domen +6 more
TL;DR: The enhancement of catalytic activity by Ru loading from Ru(3)(CO)(12) is shown to be dependent on the formation of crystalline RuO(2) nanoparticles with optimal size and coverage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic Activity of (Ga1-xZnx)(N1-xOx) for Visible-Light-Driven H2 and O2 Evolution in the Presence of Sacrificial Reagents
TL;DR: In this article, the photocatalytic activity of (Ga1-xZnx)(N 1-xOx), a solid solution of GaN and ZnO, for H2 and O2 evolution in the presence of methanol and silver nitrate as sacrificial reagents under visible light (λ > 420 nm) is investigated in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct splitting of pure water into hydrogen and oxygen using rutile titania powder as a photocatalyst
Kazuhiko Maeda,Kazuhiko Maeda +1 more
TL;DR: The successful water splitting results at least in part from the intrinsic properties of the rutile surface that is less sensitive to photoreduction of O2, a reverse reaction in water splitting.
