Photon–heteroatom synergistic formation of reactive Ni3+ intermediates drives state-of-the-art benzyl alcohol oxidation and scalable Pickering emulsion photocatalysis. (IMAGE)
Caption
A noble-metal-free Co-Ni(OH)2/CdS nanocomposite enables state-of-the-art photocatalytic benzyl alcohol oxidation activity due to the efficient formation of reactive nickel intermediates, which are promoted by photons and heteroatoms. The as-formed Pickering emulsion achieves gram-scale benzaldehyde photosynthesis with high yields, demonstrating the feasibility of sunlight-driven and hydrogen co-production.
