摘要:

熔盐极化技术利用高温熔盐中的离子相互作用,成为一种强大但尚未充分开发的结构工程策略。该技术能实现对聚合氮化碳(PCN)的精确结构调控,为提升光催化H2O2合成效率提供了新思路。本研究通过调控LiCl/KCl熔盐比例,成功构建了两种不同晶相结构:以七嗪单元为主的LKCN-0.95和七嗪-三嗪给受体(D-A)结结构的LKCN-0.2。结合实验与理论分析发现,富Li+熔盐体系促进高度有序七嗪骨架形成,而K+主导体系则有利于三嗪单元的引入。优化后的七嗪主导结构和七嗪-三嗪结结构分别展现出27倍和42倍的光合成H2O2性能提升(3.3和5.2 mmol L−1 h−1),较原始PCN(0.12 mmol L−1 h−1)显著提高,并保持五个循环的优异稳定性。机理研究表明,结构调控可增强电荷分离效率并优化氧吸附/活化过程,从而促进选择性2e−氧还原反应。该工作不仅深化了对熔盐驱动结构演变的理解,更为设计高效太阳能驱动H2O2人工光合成催化剂提供了可规模化制备的新方法。

Abstract:

Molten salt polarization, leveraging ionic interactions in high-temperature molten salts, emerges as a powerful yet underexplored strategy for structural engineering. It enables precise structural engineering of polymeric carbon nitride (PCN), offering a promising strategy to boost photocatalytic H2O2 synthesis. Herein, we report a controlled modulation strategy by varying LiCl/KCl ratios in molten salts to tailor the framework structures of PCN, achieving two distinct crystalline phases: heptazine-dominated (LKCN-0.95) and heptazine-triazine donor-acceptor (D-A) junction (LKCN-0.2). By integrating experimental and theoretical analyses, we revealed that Li+-rich molten salts promote highly ordered heptazine frameworks, while K+-dominated systems enable triazine incorporation. The optimized heptazine-dominated and heptazine-triazine junction exhibited 27-fold and 42-fold enhancements in H2O2 photosynthesis (3.3 and 5.2 mmol L−1 h−1) compared to pristine PCN (0.12 mmol L−1 h−1), alongside exceptional stability over five cycles. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that structural modulation enhances charge separation and optimizes oxygen adsorption/activation for selective 2e− oxygen reduction. This work not only advances the understanding of molten salt-driven structural evolution but also provides a scalable approach for designing efficient photocatalysts toward solar-driven H2O2 photosynthesis.
