Fullerene–porphyrin nanosheets as an efficient catalyst enable solar-light-driven ammonia synthesis
Photocatalytic nitrogen fixation is an excellent route for the utilization of clean energy. We have designed a SA-CoTPP-C<sub>60</sub> nanosheet with efficient charge separation and transmission properties in solar irradiation. Notably, the production rate of NH<sub>3</sub> is 285 µmol g<sup>-1</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> (AM 1.5) only in H<sub>2</sub>O. It is of great importance in developing new types of photocatalytic N<sub>2</sub> fixation materials.
