Photocatalytic water splitting with a quantum efficiency of almost unity

TL;DR: Water splitting with an internal quantum efficiency of almost unity is achieved using a modified semiconductor photocatalyst that selectively promotes the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions on separate crystal facets, reaching the upper limit of quantum efficiency for overall water splitting.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide adsorption on cerium oxide studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Part 1.—Formation of carbonate species on dehydroxylated CeO2, at room temperature

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption of CO and CO2 on cerium oxide has been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F.t.i.r.).
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on cerium oxide studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Part 2.—Formation of formate species on partially reduced CeO2 at room temperature

TL;DR: The adsorption of CO on partially reduced CeO2[CeO2(573-H) and CeO 2(673-H), reduced in H2 at 573 and 673 K for 1 h, respectively] has been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F.t.i.r.) as mentioned in this paper.

Selective photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives into corresponding aldehydes by molecular oxygen on titanium dioxide under visible light irradiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the photocatalytic oxidation of benzyl alcohol and its derivatives, such as 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol, 4-chlorobenzyl alcohol (CB), 4-nitrobenzinzyl al alcohol (NB), 4-(trifluoromethyl) benzyl (TRB) alcohol, and 4-tertiary-butyl-benzymethyl alcohol (TBBA), into corresponding aldehydes was investigated under both UV and visible light irradiation.
