Surface ligand-removed and Cd-rich CdSe quantum dots (QDs) exhibited exceptional activity as photocatalyst for the conversion of CO to CO. A CO production rate up to 789 mmol g h was achieved in a triethylamine/dimethylformamide mixture under visible-light irradiation. Mechanistic studies revealed that improving the Cd/Se stoichiometric ratio and exposing more active surface Cd atoms significantly enhanced the activity of CdSe QDs for CO photoreduction.
表面配体去除和富镉的 CdSe 量子点 (QDs) 表现出作为 CO 光催化转化为 CO 的光催化剂的优异活性。在可见光照射下,在三乙胺/二甲基甲酰胺混合物中,CO 的生成速率高达 789mmol·g^-1·h^-1。机理研究表明,提高 Cd/Se 化学计量比并暴露更多的活性表面 Cd 原子显著提高了 CdSe QDs 对 CO 光还原的活性。
