Summary: This study combines efficient charge transfer pathway and precision loading to construct a novel Pd-Cu/TiO2 photocatalyst with high selectivity for methanol production. Loading Pd on Cu species instead of TiO2 facilitates the concentration of electrons on Cu, and the ion exchange method for Pd loading creates more oxygen vacancies, leading to improved visible light absorption and charge separation. In situ FT-IR testing reveals the evolution from CO2 to CH3OH and the critical intermediates involved. This work provides insights into precision loading of Pd and presents a novel design for photocatalysts.

Summary: Photocatalysis technology is a promising strategy to convert CO2 into fuels and mitigate the greenhouse effect and energy crisis. In this study, the Z-scheme Ag/UiO-66@g-C3N4 composites showed improved CO2 photoreduction activity due to their increased specific surface area, strong redox capacity, rapid separation of photoinduced h+/e- pairs, and fast transfer of e-. The CH3OH and CO evolution rates of the composites were 3.09 and 2.40 times higher than those of g-C3N4, respectively. The Quantum yield (QY) of CO and CH3OH for the composites were 0.0217% and 0.0986%. The Ag NPs acted as e- mediator, promoting charge separation, transport, and CO2 reduction ability. This study not only presents a simple method to prepare ternary composites but also demonstrates their efficient photocatalytic CO2 conversion to methanol and CO.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
