Light-driven thermocatalytic CO reduction over surface-passivated β-MoC nanowires: enhanced catalytic stability by light

Surface-passivated β-Mo 2 C (P-Mo 2 C) nanowires were first applied to light-driven thermocatalytic CO 2 reduction with H 2 O and exhibited activity 4.5 times that of P25 under the same conditions. As compared to traditional thermocatalysis, the catalytic stability of P-Mo 2 C in the light-driven th...

Description
Summary:Surface-passivated β-Mo 2 C (P-Mo 2 C) nanowires were first applied to light-driven thermocatalytic CO 2 reduction with H 2 O and exhibited activity 4.5 times that of P25 under the same conditions. As compared to traditional thermocatalysis, the catalytic stability of P-Mo 2 C in the light-driven thermocatalysis was significantly improved, due to the light-promoted removal of the generated hydroxyls. As compared to the thermocatalysis without light irradiation, the catalytic stability of P-Mo 2 C in the light-driven thermocatalysis is significantly improved.
