  • About author:Oleksandr Savateev (The Chinese University of Hong Kong) received his BSc and MSc degrees in chemistry from the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute” and the PhD degree in organic chemistry from the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine. In 2015, as a postdoctoral researcher he joined the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam, Germany. In 2017, at the same institute, he started his group “Innovative Heterogeneous Photocatalysis”. In 2023, he took the position of the Vice-Chancellor Associate Professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His current research interests include organic synthesis mediated by heterogeneous photocatalysts, application of photocharged semiconductors in organic synthesis and data-driven research. He is an editor and author of several books, including “Carbon nitrides. Structure, properties and applications in science and technology”, and author of more than 100 research articles. In 2024, he completed his Habilitation in Organic Chemistry at the University of Potsdam, Germany.
    Shaowen Cao (State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology) was appointed as the young member of the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Catalysis in 2017. Professor Shaowen Cao received his B.S. in Geochemistry in 2005 from the University of Science and Technology of China, and his Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry & Physics in 2010 from the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He then worked as a Research Fellow at the School of Materials Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University until Feb 2014. He is now a Professor at State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Materials Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology. From Mar 2018 to Feb 2020, he was a Visiting Scientist at Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces. His current research interests include the design and fabrication of photocatalytic materials for energy and environmental applications. He is the author or co-author of more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers., with over 22000 citations, an H-index 70 and 26 ESI highly cited papers. He is also one of the “Highly Cited Researchers” from 2018 to 2024 awarded by Clarivate Analytics.
    Junwang Tang is a Member of Academia Europaea, a Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow, Fellow of RSC and Fellow of European Academy of Sciences and formerly a full Professor at Chemical Engineering in University College London. He is currently a Chair Professor of Materials Chemistry and Catalysis in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Director of the Industrial Catalysis Centre at Tsinghua University. He has pioneered in photon-phonon co-driven catalysis, alongside with photocatalysis, for the activation of small molecules (e.g., H2O, CO2, CH4, and N2), and microwave catalytic depolymerisation of plastics. He has received many prestigious honours, including the 2022 IChemE Oil and Gas Award, the 2021 IChemE Andrew Medal, the 2021 RSC Corday-Morgan Prize, and the 2021 IChemE Innovative Product Award. He is also the Editor or Associate Editor of four journals, including Appl. Catal. B, EES Solar, Carbon Future and Chin. J. Catal.

摘要:

利用自然太阳光进行光催化水分解被认为是一种可持续的生产H2和O2方法. 虽然H2具有很高的市场价值, 但水分解的副产品O2的价值较低. 为了使光催化制氢在经济性上优于甲烷制氢, 研究者通常将氢气的生成与高附加值有机物的合成相结合进行研究. 本文对20世纪80年代以来发展起来的脱氢反应进行了批判性总结和分析, 对光催化脱氢反应进行了系统性分类, 并将结果收录于在线数据库中. 该数据库对均相和非均相光催化剂在脱氢反应中的性能(如分析及制备规模下有机物的产率及量子效率)进行了比较, 指出了现有方法和光催化系统的局限, 并展望了未来的发展方向.

Abstract:

Photocatalytic water splitting using natural solar light is considered as a sustainable approach to generate H2 and O2. While H2 has high market value, the by-product of water splitting, oxygen, is less valuable. To make H2 produced by means of photocatalysis more economically competitive to that generated from methane, its generation is studied together with synthesis of organic compounds that have higher market value. This review summarizes and analyzes critically dehydrogenation reactions that were developed since 1980s. Photocatalytic dehydrogenation reactions are classified and the results are collected in the online database. Performance of homogeneous and heterogenous photocatalysts in dehydrogenation reactions, such as yield rates of organic products on analytical and preparative scales, and quantum efficiencies are compared. Current limitations of the existing methods and photocatalytic systems are identified and directions for the future developments are outlined.
