Lattice Engineering in Hydroxyapatite Enables Direct Photocatalytic Synthesis of C₄ Products from CO₂.

ABSTRACT: Amid the burst of carbon dioxide (CO₂) capture and conversion technologies, research prioritizing industrially feasible catalysts is vital to minimize climate change effects. In the present work, permanently polarized hydroxyapatite-based biphasic systems have been strategically designed through vacancy engineering and a thermally stimulated polarization (TSP) process, achieving a 15% selectivity toward C₃-C₄ products through a single-step CO₂ continuous-flow reaction (CO₂-to-C₃₊) under solar light irradiation and mild reaction conditions. To elucidate the underlying catalytic mechanism, extensive experimental characterization has been performed in combination with theoretical density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Mo
