One-Pot Synthesis of N-Doped NiO for Enhanced Photocatalytic CO₂ Reduction with Efficient Charge Transfer.

ABSTRACT: The green and clean sunlight-driven catalytic conversion of CO₂ into high-value-added chemicals can simultaneously solve the greenhouse effect and energy problems. The controllable preparation of semiconductor catalyst materials and the study of refined structures are of great significance for the in-depth understanding of solar-energy-conversion technology. In this study, we prepared nitrogen-doped NiO semiconductors using a one-pot molten-salt method. The research shows that the molten-salt system made NiO change from p-type to n-type. In addition, nitrogen doping enhanced the adsorption of CO₂ on NiO and increased the separation of photogenerated carriers on the NiO. It synergistically optimized the CO₂-reduction system and achieved highly active and sel
