LaCoO3 acting as an efficient and robust catalyst for photocatalytic water oxidation with persulfate
Literature Information
Yusuke Yamada, Kentaro Yano, Dachao Hong
Cobalt-containing metal oxides [perovskites (LaCoO3, NdCoO3, YCoO3, La0.7Sr0.3CoO3), spinel (Co3O4) and wolframite (CoWO4)] have been examined as catalysts for photocatalytic water oxidation with Na2S2O8 and [Ru(bpy)3]2+ as an electron acceptor and a photosensitizer, respectively. Catalysts with the perovskite structure exhibited higher catalytic activity as compared with the catalysts with the spinel and wolframite structures. LaCoO3, which stabilizes Co(III) species in the perovskite structure, exhibited the highest catalytic activity in the photocatalytic water oxidation compared with CoWO4, Co3O4 and La0.7Sr0.3CoO3 which contain Co(II) or Co(IV) species in the matrices. The high catalytic reactivity of LaCoO3 possessing perovskite structure was maintained in NdCoO3 and YCoO3 which exclusively contain Co(III) species. Thus, the catalytic activity of Co ions can be controlled by the additional metal ions, which leads to development of highly reactive and robust catalysts for the photocatalytic water oxidation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
