Abstract

It remains a challenge to obtain active sites on semiconductor-based photocatalysts for nitrogen fixation. Herein, we decorate Bi₂WO₆ by cyclized polyacrylonitrile (c-PAN) to craft a hybrid photocatalyst with superior nitrogen fixation performance (160 μmol·h^-1·g^-1). The unsaturated N in c-PAN can serve as active sites to achieve strong N₂ absorption and activation. This facile approach provides new insight into the reasonable design of elegant photocatalysts with abundant active sites.
