Ferromagnetic nanocrystallines containing copper as an efficient catalyst for photoinduced water oxidation
Literature Information
Xiaoqiang Du, Rui Xiang, Xu Xiang
CuFe2O4 nanocrystallines with cubic jacobsite structure have been obtained by heat treatment of the coprecipitation product, which were synthesized by the reaction of Cu2+ ions and Fe3+ ions under alkaline conditions. Reported here is the first copper-based catalyst for photocatalytic water oxidation using [Ru(bpy)3]Cl2 as the photosensitizer and Na2S2O8 as the sacrificial electron acceptor, respectively. An apparent TOF value of 1.2 μmol s−1 m−2 and an oxygen yield of 72.8% were obtained with CuFe2O4. The apparent TOF value with CuFe2O4 (1.2 μmol s−1 m−2) is the highest value among all heterogeneous photocatalytic water oxidation systems. CuFe2O4 can be easily separated from reaction solution by magnetic separation while maintaining excellent water oxidation activity in the fourth and fifth runs. The surface conditions of CuFe2O4 are slightly absent after examination by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after the photocatalytic reaction.

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.
