Converting Carbohydrates to Carbon-Based Photocatalysts for Environmental Treatment.

Author: HuZhuofeng, ShenZhurui, YuJimmy C

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.

Overview

Hydrothermal carbonization carbon (HTCC) is a semiconductive material produced from carbohydrates in biomass, exhibiting photocatalytic properties under solar light. Iodine doping significantly enhances the photocatalytic activity of HTCC by optimizing the sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridization structures and facilitating charge transfer. The I-doped HTCC exhibits lower cytotoxicity compared to pure HTCC. This ‘Trash to Treasure’ approach opens new avenues for environmental catalysis, waste recycling, and pollution treatment.

Original Abstract of the Article :
Carbohydrates in biomass can be converted to semiconductive hydrothermal carbonation carbon (HTCC), a material that contains plenty of sp<sup>2</sup>-hybridization structures. Under solar light illumination, HTCC generates photoexcited electrons, holes, and hydroxyl radicals. These species can be us...See full text at original site
