Nafion-Integrated Resorcinol-Formaldehyde Resin Photocatalysts for Solar Hydrogen Peroxide Production.

ABSTRACT: Photocatalytic generation of H₂O₂ from water and O₂ is a promising strategy for liquid solar-fuel production. Previously reported powder photocatalysts promote a subsequent oxidative/reductive decomposition of the H₂O₂ generated, thereby producing low-H₂O₂-content solutions. This study reports that Nafion (Nf)-integrated resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) semiconducting resin powders (RF@Nf), synthesized by polycondensation of resorcinol and formaldehyde with an Nf dispersion solution under high-temperature hydrothermal conditions, exhibit high photocatalytic activities and produce high-H₂O₂-content solutions. Nf acts as a surface stabilizer and suppresses the growth of RF resins. This generates sm
