Abstract

Abstract : A wide-spectrum-responsive carbonaceous photocatalyst was developed for the first time. This carbonaceous structure can efficiently catalyze hydrogen synthesis and benzyl alcohol oxidation under visible light, even under NIR light irradiation. Abstract : Herein, we synthesized an oxygen- and nitrogen-containing carbonaceous structure (ONCS). This ONCS possessed exceptional light-harvesting ranging from the visible to NIR light region. Characterization results confirmed that the ONCS was an n-type semiconductor. The ONCS can efficiently catalyze hydrogen photosynthesis and benzyl alcohol oxidation under visible light, even under NIR light irradiation.
