Abstract
Owing to their distinct collaboration nature, high atom usage, and high catalytic performance, single-atom catalysts have become most dynamically studied in various catalytic reactions. Graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), as one of the most promising two-dimensional supports for stable immobilization of single-atom metals, has received extensive investigations. In this review, the recent developments of g-C3N4-supported single-atom photocatalysts for hydrogen evolution are summarized, with the metal-support interactions and structure regulations for stable and efficient catalysis being highlighted. Finally, the difficulties and potentials for future development of g-C3N4-supported single-atom materials in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering is devoted to bringing forth short and focused review articles written by experts on current advances in different areas of chemical engineering. Only invited review articles will be published.
The goals of each review article in Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering are:
1. To acquaint the reader/researcher with the most important recent papers in the given topic.
2. To provide the reader with the views/opinions of the expert in each topic.
The reviews are short (about 2500 words or 5-10 printed pages with figures) and serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, teachers, professionals and students. The reviews also aim to stimulate exchange of ideas among experts.
Themed sections:
Each review will focus on particular aspects of one of the following themed sections of chemical engineering:
1. Nanotechnology
2. Energy and environmental engineering
3. Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering
4. Biological engineering (covering tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, drug delivery)
5. Separation engineering (covering membrane technologies, adsorbents, desalination, distillation etc.)
6. Materials engineering (covering biomaterials, inorganic especially ceramic materials, nanostructured materials).
7. Process systems engineering
8. Reaction engineering and catalysis.
