Defect State Nano Structure Tungsten Oxide Catalyst Is Invented
USTC(University of Science and Technology of China) recently announced that professor Xiong Yujie research group designed a kind of tungsten oxide nano structure in defect state based on inorganic solid accurate preparation of chemical and use crystalline defect project. Under broad spectrum illumination, it shows fine oxidation coupling catalytic property which is expected to realize low cost and low-energy organic chemical technology. Tungsten oxide has good photocatalytic property due to its special structure, it has already been used as varies of catalyst and also other industrial fields.
Most of catalytic reaction is based on the application of precious metal oxide and motivated by burning of petroleum and coal. It has disadvantages of high cost and high energy consuming. Compared to precious metal catalyst, metal oxide has benefits of low cost. However, it shows shortcomings in oxygen molecular system which can not capture solar energy and pass it into oxygen molecular.
In order to solve the problem, Xiong Yujie research group designed a kind of nano structure tungsten oxide. Usually metal atom of metal oxides has coordination saturation property, it can not active oxygen molecular by chemical absorption. During the research, construct of oxygen vacancy defect overcomes the shortcomings and accelerate photo electron transact from metal oxides catalyst to oxygen molecular. Defect state also broadens light absorption range of photocatalyst which enables it to capture solar energy in visible light and near infrared area. The two big steps realize the valid capture of solar energy and energy transaction, solves the bottleneck problems of oxides catalyst in the organic synthesis of photocatalytic activity.
Based on this acknowledgement, researchers are able to adjust solar energy to drive organic oxygen coupling reaction based on crystalline defect project. It provides possibility to use solar energy take place of heat source organic synthesis, and make an improvement for design of photocatalyst material.
