Abstract

An interfacial reaction system with the advantage of in situ H2O2 production and separation has been developed, in which titania nanotube (TNT) photocatalyst modified by nickel species and carbon dots (CDs) can self-stabilize at interface of water/benzyl alcohol. Under visible light irradiation, the CDs/Ni-TNT yields H2O2 with an initial rate of 385.6 μmol/g/h. The improved activity could be attributed to multiple effects such as sufficient oxygen adsorption and mass transfer, separated reduction and oxidation sites at different phases, and rapid diffusion of H2O2 from the interfacial region into bulk aqueous solution.
