Visible-light-driven valorization of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural over a hollow Co 3 O 4 @Zn 3 In 2 S 6 nanocage in base-free water under an air atmosphere
Abstract
, which is beneficial to generate strong interfacial interaction and facilitate the separation of electron-hole pairs. Characteristic analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations elucidate that the enhanced built-in electric field (IEF) and S-scheme charge transfer mechanism within the ZC heterojunction effectively drive the selective photo-oxidation of HMF to DFF. This work offers an efficient strategy to design heterojunction photocatalysts for highly effective oxidation of HMF under mild conditions.
